A Statement to Our Community
On April 28, 2020, a bisexual activist group claimed that, despite two decades of accepted free public use, they owned the rights to the bisexual flag, though no copyright or trademark has ever been registered to that effect, though that same organization has recently publicly celebrated free access to the flag, and though no evidence exists that they own it, nor have they produced any such evidence.
In recognition of recent controversy within our community, we, the board of the Bisexual Organizing Project (BOP), believe that our commitment to our community requires us to issue a public affirmation of our values.
While we understand and affirm concerns about our community's icons and symbols being co-opted and inappropriately used, we condemn any unilateral action that seeks to give control of those symbols to any single small group or individual. We believe our flag has become a fundamental component of our community's collective sense of identity and visibility, and we support the #ourbiflag movement in maintaining free access to the flag as intended by its creator Michael Page.
While we recognize and affirm the challenges of protecting what we create, we believe that the purpose of our work as a non-profit organization serving the entirety of the Bi+ community is not to advance our organization's interests, but to advance our community as a whole. Members of our board have worked over the years to sponsor, co-sponsor, or create educational programs, research projects, community spaces, and terms by which we understand ourselves and our communities. We believe that these are gifts to our community, and would not seek to prevent any member of our community from benefiting from this work. We believe that our work, or the work of any other organization, ceases to have meaning if we prevent our community from accessing it.
We believe deeply that conflict is part of a healthy community, that there is room for dissenting or unpopular viewpoints, and that discussions about painful and difficult issues must happen for our community to move forward without leaving our most marginalized members behind. We recognize that it is possible that positive intent and an earnest desire to solve problems might exist in this situation in ways that we do not yet understand, and we welcome the opportunity to better understand these public statements regarding the Bi+ flag. However, we condemn unilateral actions that harm our community. We condemn force in the absence of dialog. We condemn deceitful communications and believe that transparency is always important, but most important in the face of conflict. We recognize that our community has been deeply harmed by the impacts of inappropriate seizure of control, and by subsequent refusal to engage in conversations that would have restored good faith.
We unconditionally condemn doxxing or making vulnerable individuals whose views differ from our own, even in the most heated moments of conflict.
BOP will move forward in our mission and goals, and remain committed to meeting the needs of our community through activism and community building. We will continue to work towards making the community a welcoming and open place for Bi+ individuals in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, Greater Minnesota, and the Upper Midwest, and to partner with organizations and individuals around the country that align with our mission and goals.
We will not be working with the organization in question at this time or in the immediate future. However, we believe in opportunities for growth and change, and welcome conversations about moving forward, should we find a way to build a partnership that reflects our values of radical inclusion and dialog.
With love to our community,
Board of Bisexual Organizing Project - BOP

It turns out, it's really easy to guess email addresses that have been used in the past 24 hours. Go ahead and try a few things, simple stuff, like, "a", "123", "1", "abc", "fart", or whatever you feel like guessing. You'll see that people frequently use common email addresses like these. Once you find an active one, just look at the items in the inbox. Find out if they registered an account on another website using this email address. If they did, use the password reset form on that site to reset their password. It's as simple as that.
I know a lot of people may think this "script kiddie'ish", but it it definitely can easily get you access to random accounts of other people.
Remember, use Tor when you want to remain anonymous.
*This article is just proof of concept. I or ITswapshop.com doesn't suggest or condone doing anything listed in this article. Accessing other peoples accounts is illegal, and can get you in serious trouble.

Q: Objective-C XMPPFramework Offline Queues Hoping to find someone familiar with https://github.com/robbiehanson/XMPPFramework/wiki
My application sends and receives messages between other phones running the application and iChat. I'm using a eJabberd installed on a rackspace.
The problem is that if I send a message with my phone to a phone that is offline, the user will not receive the message when they go online in their application (nor will they in iChat - the message is never queued).
However, when I send a message through iChat and then log into my application on my phone, the message comes through just fine.
It would appear that, for whatever reason, the way I am sending messages with the XMPPFramework above is not triggering the queuing feature of the server. I've followed the specifications here to send a message that looks exactly like this (with different usernames)
    message from='romeo@montague.net/orchard' to='juliet@capulet.com'>
  <body>
    O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard.
    Being in night, all this is but a dream,
    Too flattering-sweet to be substantial.
  </body>
</message>

with the same results, unfortunately. I've been trying to find a way to view what the outgoing XML of iChat looks like, but to no avail. Hopefully there is somebody out there who has ran into this issue before.

A: Off-line messages are the responsibility of the server.  How to handle off-line messages is explained in XEP-0160: Best Practices for Handling Offline Messages.
On the client side, you'll want to make sure you are sending message stanzas with types of "normal" or "chat".
You'll also want to make sure you have off-line message storage enabled in eJabberd.

Top 20 of 2011: 5-1
5. Thursday – No Devolucion
For me, the announcement of Thursday's (don't call it a) break up in November saw No Devolucion finally make sense. As a farewell statement from the most influential post-hardcore band in history it is a poignant, mesmerising piece of art.
The signature dynamic shifts are still ever present on No Devolucion, but here the highs and lows are even more pronounced than before. If Common Existence was Thursday's heaviest record this may be the opposite, but never does its generally subdued nature compromise the power lurking within. In fact, the defining moment of No Devolucion is the quietest of all – Empty Glass. It is a song that is utterly perfect. The intimate lyrics discussing Geoff Rickly's marriage breakdown, his hushed delivery and the layered, restrained, synth-heavy accompaniment that slowly and subtly builds to a devastating crescendo all combine to make the song the embodiment of all that is great about this band. And on the other side of the coin, Turnpike Divides is a classic, crushing, shout-out-loud Thursday anthem that shows that to the end the band could still shift up and make passionate, heavy post-hardcore. And then, as if they knew that No Devolucion was to be their last, the album ends on the most fitting note of all with the epic Stay True which speaks to the die-hards like nothing and no one else could.
In any other year this would have been top 3. If there had to be a final Thursday album, No Devolucion was the perfect farewell. Thursday are a band that will never be forgotten, and No Devolucion only adds to their already immeasurable legacy.
4. Make Do And Mend – End Measured Mile
Such a pleasant surprise from a band I only discovered this year. The album was released in the US in 2010 but got a 2011 release locally, so makes this list.
Playing the sort of passionate but accessible melodic hardcore that you might have thought had disappeared, MDAM feel important on End Measured Mile. It's a determinedly working class set of songs from a determinedly working class band. No frills, no tricky obvious overdubs, just beautifully written songs performed like the band means every note.
The one-two punch of Ghostal and Transparent Seas is maybe the strongest since Radiohead backed High and Dry up with Fake Plastic Trees, with the chilling spoken word bridge of the former contrasting with the ecstatic, anti-religious chorus of the latter, the most exhilarating moment in music in 2011. It's the highlight of an album that delivers the sort of punk that reminds me exactly why I love the genre.
Recently signed to Rise Records and set to hit the studio in February for the follow up to End Measured Mile, MDAM are one to watch. If you're serious about music this is a band you need to know. One of the best live bands I've seen this year too.
3. Fireworks – Gospel
Fireworks made one of the better pop punk records of 2009 with All I Have To Offer Is My Own Confusion but nothing in that solid effort could have prepared listeners for what they have unleashed with Gospel, 2011's most joyful, exciting pop punk release.
Fireworks stretch the genre in an almost entirely new direction with Gospel. Traditionally, pop punk bands either fall into the raucous punk-influenced or polished pop-influenced camps but on Gospel, Fireworks roll influences like 80s pop into a sound that has enough rough edges to sit on the same bill as The Wonder Years or Living With Lions and shares nothing with the neon-clad, synth-toting bands commonly associated with said influences. The result is something truly original, and infectious as hell. I challenge anyone to listen to Oh, Why Can't We Start Old And Get Younger and sit still. It is clearly the best pop song released in 2011.
The summery, upbeat vibe continues throughout the album, but the real substance comes from lyrics which consistently see positivity bleeding through the cracks of adversity. Continuing the "best of 2011" theme of this review is this stanza from Paintings of Paul Revere, which stands as the best lyric I've heard in 2011: "The past is something I wanna kiss in the rain/Then get back in my car and never let it happen again". And the album is packed with lines almost as memorable as that one.
This is an album that truly has "Summer Soundtrack" written all over it, and serves that purpose better than anything else this year, but in actual fact is so much more. There is a depth here that is rare in music in general, not to mention the genre, and it marks Fireworks as perhaps the band to watch in the pop punk new wave. Their next step could be anything.
2. The Wonder Years – Suburbia, I've given you all and now I'm nothing
The best pop punk band in the known universe hit the mark again in 2011. Suburbia is impossible to review in short form, so here's my review in long form.
1. The Horrible Crowes – Elsie
Put simply, the best album of 2011. It, too, deserved a longer review than would fit here. So here it is!

Many of us find it challenging to come up with the perfect gift for our elderly loved ones - especially during the holiday season. While our children are not bashful about giving us a Christmas list, our elders are more likely to say they "don't need anything." Many have downsized their living space or may now be in a nursing home or assisted living facility, which throws the door wide open for practicality. To help make your shopping this year a little easier, we have taken these things into consideration and created this gift-giving guide for you.
But first, let us say that beyond any doubt, the gift of your time can be the best gift choice of all. Stopping in for a brief visit, bringing a small gift such as a magazine or a plate of cookies is inexpensive and often the most valued. Is your loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility? Try a bulletin board to place pictures and cards, a lap top desk, or stationary and writing supplies. See! There are still plenty of ideas for them too.
Phone Amplifiers- amp up the sound for the hard of hearing with a phone amplifier. Some amplifiers come with a strobe flashing light as well that will catch their attention if the sound does not.
TV Amplifiers - increases the volume of the TV; some systems may be wireless and/ or used with other devices. The headsets are great for someone in a community living environment, as they do not disturb others; while a sound box may be better for other situations. Often it is not just the volume but also clarity and some of these devices can enhance regular sound and voices as well.
Talking clocks - a variety of styles where you can program them to announce the time at certain intervals or can be heard at the touch of a button. Some are digital and some look like old fashioned alarm clocks.
Talking clocks and watches - announces the time as programmed, making it easier for people who are blind or have poor vision. The watches can audibly state the time, date, day of the week, month, and year at the touch of a button.
Large Digital Clocks - the digital display of the numbers on these clocks come in a wide variety of sizes, some advertise they can be seen as far away as 200 feet.
Digital/Talking Scales - can be purchased with large digital display and / or voice read out.
Floor Magnifier Lamp - large illuminated lens not only magnifies objects but also provides light that eases the strain on the eyes. Not your standard magnifying glass any more- making reading and doing crafts fun again. These range from stand models to handheld devices that are now electronic and have even higher magnifying power.
Large Button Phone - many of these phones not only comes with buttons that make hitting the right buttons easier but they can come with amplifying features too.
Photo Phone - a visual picture of loved ones instead of a small number may make it easier to use the phone. Even those with dementia issues may be able to easily make calls.
Large Print Calendar - these large print calendars may help maintain some independence a little longer and can be personalized with photos of friends and loved ones. Don't forget to attach a pen to check off the days gone by.
Large Button Remote Control - Many elderly have trouble seeing the small buttons on standard remote controls. A large button universal remote control may be exactly what they need.
Lighted Alert Systems for Doorbells and Smoke Alarms - a bright flashing light lets the hard of hearing know that someone is at the door or that there is an immediate danger.
Wheel chair clips and organizers - clips or hangs on the side of the chair allowing storage and easy reach for frequently used items for the wheel chair bound.
Bed Assist Rail - provides assistance for getting in and out of bed and helps prevent falls.
Fingerprint Keyless/ Keypad Door Lock - provides keyless entry by just touching the fingerprint pad or keying in a code on a keypad making it much easier for those arthritic hands. And the bonus - no more searching for keys.
Car Swivel Seats - these swivel seats allow easier access for both driver and/or passengers.
Transportation Service - Contact a local bus or taxi service to see if they offer gift certificates. Or create your own certificate and offer your personal service.
Electronic Key Finder / Large Handle Key Turner - misplacing keys often and arthritic hands make these a good choice.
Pathway Lighting - whether it be for the inside or outside, light pathways, halls, and stairs for safety. There are a lot of options here. You can use simple night-lights that automatically turn on when it begins to get dark or can be switched on and off as you wish. There are also electronic, solar and battery powered devices that will do the job and help prevent falls. Or you might want to try lighted slippers.
First Aid Kit - having an adequately stocked first aid kit not only helps with the organization of items when they are needed but when also stocked with first aid instructions can help save a life. First aid kits can be elaborate or very inexpensive. You may choose to create your own. For instructions and content to make your own see our First Aid for Elderly Article.
Finger Protector - This is a very simple inexpensive guard that helps prevent cuts to the fingers when using a knife.
Oven Rack Guards - protects skin against accidental burns and injury when reaching into a hot oven.
Lighted Smoke Detector - not only do smoke detectors come with brightly flashing lights for the audible impaired but they help to illuminate an escape route. These can be battery operated or hard wired.
Medication Reminder and Check In Services - the forgetful nature of getting older often creates a medication issue for elderly. Helping to get it right can be a simple pill box that you can use to set up their pills daily or weekly, an automatic dispensing or reminder machine, to medication and check in reminder calls.
Bath Lift / Chair - bath lifts are helpful in lowering and raising an elderly person with mobility issues or a disabled person in and out of the bathtub. Bath lifts are also helpful to a caregiver, preventing back injury.
Bath Safety Grab Rails - You can permanently mount a bar to the tub and shower area or use the suction based for easy removal. There are also bars that attach to the tub side that give a steady hand getting in and out of the tub.
Non Slip Bath Mat - prevents slips and falls in the shower or tub.
Non Slip Shoe Covers - cleat like device that slips over the shoe to provide traction in the snow and ice.

Velcro Slippers - be sure to get the hard sole, non-slip type of slippers. They also come in extra wide width and are very comfortable for swollen and arthritic feet. While these are warm slippers you may want to allow some extra room for socks.
Fingerless Gloves - great for those who want mobility and warmth for their hands.
Hand Muff - in keeping the extremities warm, these come in all shapes and sizes to meet the personality. Some brands have features and textures for twiddling and fiddling. It has been found that these features often help relax dementia patients. These are nice when just sitting around or watching TV.
Neck Warmer - depending on the need to keep the neck warm this can be a simple scarf type piece of clothing that comes in various materials or a microwaveable comfort wrap.
"Toasty Feet"- Toasty Feet Insoles placed inside the shoe keep feet warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
"Bionic Driving Gloves"- specially designed for grandma and grandpa allowing movement and function while keeping hands toasty warm. These can be worn for warmth or orthopedic issues.
Heated Mattress Pad - great for getting the bed nice and warm before you crawl in.
One Cup Coffee Maker - there is many versions of these on the market and great for the coffee drinker who lives alone.
Foot bath - the elderly have many foot problems and a warm footbath can do a lot to sooth those tired aching feet.
Jigsaw Puzzles - are never out of date. This simple pastime comes in such a variety, even taking into account the eyes and arthritis with large pieces and you can select a picture that is of interest to the recipient. Have a special family photo turned into a puzzle. They are also great for the social settings.
Magazine and Books / Audible - a subscription to a magazine that is centered around their hobbies or interest could be a great pastime. Eyes not what they used to be? Subscribe to an audio book rental service like Audible.com or these can be purchased at most bookstores. Large print versions are often available. Some favorite magazines for older people are often the inspirational magazines such as Guidepost. Readers Digest is another favorite and these both come in large print.
Games Books - game books are inexpensive and are helpful in retaining cognitive function. Word search and crossword books are a favorite pastime. Sudoku is becoming almost as popular. If variety is their spice of life, you can get mixed puzzle books too. You can get these in large print and theme related versions. See a mix of games and ideas here.
"Power Shovel" - this would be a great alternative for the senior who wants to remain independent and do their own snow shoveling but strength isn't what it used to be.
Exercise - if your loved one is still able to drive, a gift certificate to a local gym or YMCA is not only a great way to stay active but to socialize as well. Some facilities offer specific programming for the elderly. A lot of elderly love to swim and most YMCA's have pool facilities. There are many pieces of equipment that can be purchased depending on their level of function. Just a simple stretch ban can have great health benefits.
"Up Easy Power Seat"- give the gift of getting up easily with this electronic piece of equipment that fits most furniture.
Memory Journal - this would be for the one who likes to write. Some of these journals come with memory-jogging questions about life and have sufficient space for them to write their answers. This is a beautiful way to pass down their stories and wisdom.
Mugs, Magnets, Key chains, Calendars with Photos of Friends and Family - these are cherished gifts for the person who does not get to visit with their family often. My parent's favorite gift one year was a blanket with all of their great grandchildren on it.
Donation to Charity - give a monetary gift to their favorite charity in their name.
Cleaning Services - these can be from a professional service or you can create your own certificate and take up the mop and broom yourself.
Arrange Services- arrange for a neighborhood teenager to mow the lawn or shovel snow or set up a visiting helper service.
Family History Book - chronicle the life and family history of your loved one and present it in a book format. This will become a family heritage piece.
Bird Feeder - many elderly love to sit at the window and bird watch. Even if they are in a facility, they may be open to this idea. Don't forget the bird seed!
Gift Certificate to a Salon or Barber Shop - everyone feels better after a little pampering.
"Printing Mailbox"- A great gift for an older person who does not use computers or texting and does not live close to family and friends. It is a printer that is plugged into the phone outlet and works without a computer. It prints e-mails and photos from pre-approved senders. While they cannot respond to these correspondence, they will at least feel like they are being thought of and not left out of the loop. There may be a monthly usage fee.
Any way you choose to give the gift of time, you will brighten their lives!

FIVE TEXAS BRAHMAS DRAFTED IN NAHL ENTRY DRAFT 2020
by Brahmas Media
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TEXAS — Five Texas Jr. Brahmas skaters were selected during the 2020 NAHL Entry Draft on Tuesday. Among those chosen were forwards Tyler Blanchard, Cal Couell and Leevi Selänne, left wing Gabe Potyk and goaltender Kayden Hargraves. Read on to learn more about the players picked up by NAHL organizations and hear from Texas Jr. Brahmas Head Coach Ryan Anderson.
Kayden Hargraves, goalie
Drafted in the sixth round at pick #160, Hargraves was selected by the Fairbanks Ice Dogs. Touting a .937 save percentage and a 1.46 GAA for the Texas Jr. Brahmas during the 2019-20 season, the goaltender recorded nine shutouts and a 19-3-0 record. Hargraves is from Denver, Colo.
Coach's comments: "The Texas Brahmas couldn't be more happy for Kayden. The Fairbanks Ice Dogs are Robertson Cup contenders every season and Coach Stewart does an amazing job for his players. The Ice Dogs are getting a young goalie and I look forward to watching Kayden's success over the next few seasons."
Tyler Blanchard, forward
Blanchard doesn't have to travel far, as he was picked at #162 in the sixth round by the Lone Star Brahmas. A native of NYTEX Sports Centre already, the forward recorded 25g-36a in 41 games played for the Texas Jr. Brahmas during the 2019-20 season. Blanchard was a veteran member of the squad, as he played for the team during the 2018-19 season where he also amassed 61 points (29g-32a) in 42 games played. The skater hails from San Jose, Calif.
Coach's comments: "Tyler has been an integral member of the Texas Brahmas for the past two seasons. He was a key contributor during our Fraser Cup championship and has worked tirelessly to add elements to his game that will make him successful in the NAHL. I am very excited to watch Blanch pull on a Lone Star Brahmas jersey for Coach Wildfong."
Gabe Potyk, left wing
Potyk was the 222nd pick during the ninth round of the NAHL Entry Draft, selected by the Corpus Christi IceRays. The left wing totaled 31 points (13g-18a) in 18 games with the Texas Jr. Brahmas during the 2019-20 season. Poytk also played 46 games with the Lone Star Brahmas during the 2018-19 season. The skater is a Lake Orion, Mich. native.
Coach's comments: "I am really proud of Gabe and how he handled the adversity he went through last season. He has completely reshaped his mindset and body to earn the opportunity to be drafted by Corpus. Corpus Christi is a great city and the fans in Corpus will love his style of play."
Leevi Selänne, forward
Selänne was drafted in the tenth round of the draft at pick #264 by the Bismarck Bobcats. The forward put up 52 points (25g-27a) in 46 games played during the 2019-20 season, averaging 1.13 points per game and ended the season with a +43. Selänne is from Los Angeles, Calif.
Coach's comments: "Bismarck is getting a one of a kind guy in Leevi. In the year he spent with the Texas Brahmas, he brought fun and energy to the rink every day. He was extremely productive and valuable to our program last season. He has the ability to score as well as an ability to mix it up. The Bobcats fans will love watching him play."
Cal Couell, forward
Selected by the Danbury Jr. Hat Tricks, Couell was picked up in the fourteenth round at pick #364. The forward ended his second season with the Texas Jr. Brahmas with 24 points (4g-20a) in the 2019-20 season, after recording 11g-24a in his rookie season of 2018-19. Couell is an Orchard Park, N.Y. native.
Coach's comments: "Danbury is getting a dynamic two-way defenseman with Cal. He was a member of our Fraser Cup championship team in 2019 and was huge for us down the stretch last year. I am excited for Cal to be able to play in the NAHL in a location closer to home so his family can enjoy watching him play for Danbury."
"I couldn't be more proud to have five players drafted off our team from last season," said Head Coach Ryan Anderson. "Our group always talked about celebrating each other's success and each and every member of our team helped the drafted players earn the honor of being drafted. I am very excited about the future of our program and can't wait to get the 2020-2021 season started."
NAHL teams' main camps begin between the end of July to the middle of August.

Q: Access-Control-Allow-Origin error with Angular app and WP REST API on SOME computers
EDIT
I've managed to get it to work by putting the app files and the
  Wordpress files in seperate folders. It seems like the .htaccess
  information is passed through the folder when putting the app files
  with the .htaccess in the root. It's still unclear though why it did work on some computers in the first place...

I have 2 questions regarding a Access-Control-Allow-Origin error.
Question 1
I'm having a strange issue with an Angular website I'm building in combination with WP REST API.
When I view the website in question with my own laptop I don't get any errors. The same goes for my phone, ipad and the laptop of a friend. Some (most?) people though get a CORS error involving headers not being present (Access-Control-Allow-Origin).
I've tested this with several browsers and with several IP addresses, to exclude any interference from plugins.
So I'm wondering why I don't get these errors on some computers and do get on others.
Question 2
Of course the real question is why some (most?) people get this error.
I'm aware of the fact that you need headers for your resources and to explain what my problem is I think I have to explain my server "setup".
I have a folder on my server with the angular files in it and also the wordpress installation (in it's own folder). I'm requesting .html template files from another folder and other data from the WP REST API. When I'm adding headers via .htaccess with the code below the .html template files will be loaded correctly, but the WP REST API requests will get a multiple values error:
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Origin "*"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Headers "origin, x-requested-with, content-type"
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods "PUT, GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS"

So it seems that WP REST API also adds a header on it's own which causes for the error.
Again, no matter what settings I'm using, a few computers will always display the website correctly.
The website in question is http://www.hostingvs.nl/testsites/zoutendijk/
Hopefully someone can help me with this issue. Thanks in advance!

A: Maybe you need to add the HEAD Request Method and should probably remove DELETE and OPTIONS since they are considered unsafe. PUT is probably unnecessary.
Header add Access-Control-Allow-Methods "GET, POST, HEAD"

Password Hashing Competition

and our recommendation for hashing passwords: Argon2

ARGON2
 |
PHC

CONTACT

Password hashing is everywhere, from web services' credentials storage
to mobile and desktop authentication or disk encryption systems.
Yet there wasn't an established standard to fulfill the needs of
modern applications and to best protect against attackers.
We started the Password Hashing Competition (PHC) to
solve this problem.

PHC ran from 2013 to 2015 as an open competition—the same kind of
process as NIST's AES and SHA-3 competitions, and the most effective way
to develop a crypto standard.  We received 24 candidates,
including many excellent designs, and selected one winner,
Argon2, an algorithm designed by Alex Biryukov,
Daniel Dinu, and Dmitry Khovratovich from University of Luxembourg.

We recommend that use you use Argon2 rather than legacy algorithms.
You'll find the specifications and reference code just below.

Argon2

GitHub repo containing the specs and code
(latest
release)

Specifications PDF, including rationale
and analysis

The reference code is C89-compliant C, licensed under CC0, a.k.a. public
domain.
It should compile on x86 and x86_64 architectures, as well as most ARM
architectures (except for the code optimized for x86 and x86_64). It
should compile on Linux, OS X, and Windows OS', as well as MinGW
environments.

There are two main versions of Argon2, Argon2i and Argon2d. Argon2i is
the safest against side-channel attacks, while Argon2d provides the
highest resistance against GPU cracking attacks.

Argon2i and Argon2d are parametrized by

A time cost, which defines the execution time

A memory cost, which defines the memory usage

A parallelism degree, which defines the number of threads

See the README
for detailed instructions.

Bindings for other languages will be listed here, let us know if you created
ones.

In Q1 2013 we published the call for
submissions, and by the deadline on March 31, 2014 we had received
24 submissions. In December 2014 we
shortlisted 9 finalists and published a short report. In July 2015 we announced
Argon2 as a winner and gave special recognition to four of the
finalists:

Catena, for its agile
framework approach and side-channel resistance
(Catena-v5.tar.gz)

Lyra2, for its elegant
sponge-based design, and alternative approach to side-channel resistance
(Lyra2-v3.tar.gz)

Q: How Can I Share the Car interface between classes and add Type Checking To CarItem class? I've made a simple example that highlights a few of the problems / not-understandings I'm having with TypeScript. I created a simple list of cars that reference a caritem detail view.  Code is below and also on stackblitz here:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/react-ts-ocjswh
My Questions:

*

*How do I get typechecking to work in CarItem.tsx? I've tried car: Car but that is not correct

*What is the proper way to import react and react-dom? I tried import as with no success

*I want to share my interface "Car" between index.tsx and CarItem.tsx so if I add another attribute, I don't have to add it to both places.  Once I have a large number of interfaces in my project, what is best way to do this?

Index.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import { render } from 'react-dom';
import CarItem from './CarItem';

interface Car
{
  id: number,
  model: string
}

interface Cars {
  cars: Car[];
}

const App : React.FunctionComponent<Cars>  = ({cars}) => {

  const myCars = [{
    id: 101, model: 'midget'
  },{
    id:102, model: 'spitfire'
  },{
    id: 103, model: 'tr6'
  }]

  return (

      {myCars.map(function(data){
          return (
          <CarItem car={data} />
          )
        }
      )}

  );
}

render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

CarItem.tsx
import * as React from 'react';

interface Car
{
  id: number,
  model: string
}

export default ({car}) => {
  return (

...{car.model}

  )
}

A: There was a lot of problem with this code. I refactored it and try to fix it all.
The answers to your questions:

*

*I fixed the type for CarItem

*There is nothing wrong with the import, they works. The editor has some syntax highlight problem.

*You can export and import the interfaces as well.
Here is the corrected files
index.tsx
import * as React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import CarItem, {Car} from './CarItem';

const App : React.FunctionComponent  = () => {

  const myCars: Car[] = [{
    id: 101, model: 'midget'
  },{
    id:102, model: 'spitfire'
  },{
    id: 103, model: 'tr6'
  }]

  return (

      {myCars.map(function(data){
          return (
           <CarItem key={data.id} car={data} />
          )
        }
      )}

  );
}

ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('root'));

CarItem.tsx
import * as React from 'react';

export interface Car
{
  id: number,
  model: string
}

interface Props {
  car: Car;
}

const CarItem: React.FunctionComponent<Props>  = ({car}) => {
  return (

...{car.model}

  )
}

export default CarItem;

Q: Arrangements and permutation How many arrangements of $A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H$ are there such that $A$
and B are between C and D ?
Attempt : I am trying to solve this problem using simple counting process like first place can be occupy by 6 persons second occupied by 6 and so forth I tried to manipulate remaining one. But it seems confusing and I am missing some terms is what I feel . Please help me to solve this with effective approach.

A: If you didn't have the constraint about $A,B$ being between $C,D$, then you'd have $8!=40,320$ arrangements. Now consider the positions of $A,B,C,D$ in each of those arrangements. In each arrangement, exactly one of the six pairs $AB$, $AC$, $AD$, $BC$, $BD$, and $CD$ will lie between the other two of $A,B,C,D$. So you can classify the $40,320$ arrangements into $6$ classes according to which pair lies between the others. Each of those $6$ classes has, by symmetry, the same number of elements, $40,320\,/\,6$. And your problem asks for the number of arrangements in one of the classes. So the answer is $40,320\,/\,6=6720$.

Administration of Tobacco Excise
Although the audit examined broader aspects of the ATO's administration (such as, tobacco excise governance arrangements, intelligence capability and compliance and investigations activities), we placed particular emphasis on the strategies used by the ATO to address the proliferation of chop-chop (Australian grown tobacco sold illicitly in a chopped up form for $80 to $100 per kilogram. In comparison, 50 grams of legal roll-you-own tobacco costs around $16 i.e. $320 per kilogram) in the Australian markets, as it is an area of major risk to tobacco excise revenue.

The Australian Taxation Office's Administration of Taxation Rulings
Taxation rulings are a key mechanism used by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to disseminate the Commissioner of Taxation's interpretative advice on Australian taxation law. The objective of the audit was to:
report to Parliament on the operation of the ATO's administration of taxation rulings (public, private and oral rulings); and where appropriate, make recommendations for improvements, having regard to considerations of: efficiency and effectiveness of the ATO's administration of the rulings system, particularly in relation to the achievement of the objectives set by Parliament for the rulings system; the ATO's systems' capacity to deliver consistency and fairness for taxpayers; and good corporate governance, including the control framework.


Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are capturing a lot of attention these days, and it's no wonder. Acknowledging employees' interests outside of the workplace can be an effective differentiator in a competitive job market.
But successful ERG programs don't just happen on their own – nor are they necessarily easy to develop and maintain. In fact, the bigger or faster a company is growing, the greater the need to organize and manage ERGs.
This whitepaper highlights several successful ERGs and discusses potential challenges that HR is likely to encounter in their creation, as well as some best practices for overcoming those challenges.

this was inspired by: The Getty—it recognizes the power of the Internet to draw people to art. I love that the Getty uses social media, blogging, and open-access projects to promote culture.
to me, inspiration is: This intangible drive that forces you to complete a task, and you can't stop until that task is finished. It might take you years, and you might come back to it over time, but I think that when you're inspired to do something, you get in this mindset where you just have to do it.
Inspiration is like exercise in a sense. I haven't been inspired to write in about a year, so I sat down in September and wrote out three paragraphs about Victor Hugo. I wasn't inspired to start, but by the end of that exercise, I felt it. You have highs and lows.

Five Good Covers: Wake Up (Arcade Fire)
Five Good Covers presents five cross-genre reinterpretations of an oft-covered song.
Every band likes to end gigs with their biggest song. Arcade Fire must have a hard time drafting a set list, since every one of their songs is massive, but for a long time they've been sending off fans with the truly epic "Wake Up." It's a grand, soaring song that really requires the dedication of all eight Arcade Fire members. However, it's also such a gem that other artists can't help but try to take it on, though most of them tone it down to a more manageable acoustic number. The results are mixed – covering Arcade Fire can be a daunting task – but the five artists below prove up to the challenge.
1. Paolo Nutini put aside his trademark brassy cheer for a simple, acoustic version of "Wake Up" on BBC Radio Scotland. The result is nowhere near as grand as the original, but Nutini's raspy, emotive vocals let him do what so many covers of the song cannot – capture the intense emotion of the original.
2. Chicago-based Will Phalen chose a similarly sparse arrangement when he covered "Wake Up" in 2009. Ukulele and harmonica might seem like incongruously cheerful (and strangely matched) instruments to take on the track with, but Phalen's weary vocals lend it some gravity, with the harmonica filling in where the "ohhs" of the chorus should be.
3. Hamilton Trading Company may seem like an Arcade Fire clone (12 Canadian musicians, including one who plays a glockenspiel), but the convivial chorus of musicians who make up the constantly-changing band follow Phalen and Nutini's example. Their take on "Wake Up" is surprisingly low-key, framed with guitar and hand claps. However, the choir-like size of the group gives it a full sound that's true to the original. HTC gives the track forward motion by letting different members pick up the vocals, creating a warm, collective atmosphere.
4. A final acoustic cover comes from KA4, a group of young musicians assembled by nonprofit organization Kollaboration. Like HTC, their cover is a warm blend of vocals; they produce some polished, dreamy harmonies. The only downside: they introduced the track via a saccharine, inexplicably slow-mo video.
5. John Legend and The Roots collaborated to produce arguably the best-known and most original "Wake Up" cover. Legend's nuanced vocals are the centerpiece of the track, which speeds up and brightens the original with soul-infused Roots instrumentals. Legend and The Roots make the track shout "Wake up!," crafting one of the more unusual interpretations – particularly amongst its mostly-acoustic cover competition.

Umbria Perugia
Locanda del Gallo
Umbria is a region that boasts wonderful woods, a landscape soothed by rolling hills and a quiet mood that arouses strong and rewarding emotions.
It is here that Locanda del Gallo was born; it's a historic dwelling that stands on the hill that separates Gubbio from Perugia, the place where charm, tradition and well-being are truly inseparable.
The village where the Locanda rises was built in the XIII century, at the time of the wars between Gubbio and Perugia, and then in 1823 was completed as seen to this day. The careful restoration, wanted by the owners of the dwelling, let allows you to enjoy the village in its original splendor.
The rooms have in common size, a classic style and the amenities included, with the peculiarity of exotic furnishings adorning each room, chosen and brought back by the owners during their many journeys made all around the world.
This combination creates cozy spaces, in which the soft tones of the walls are matched with wooden cupboards and chairs.
Each room has a private bathroom, heating system and free Wi-Fi access. The rooms have high ceilings and are very bright, so aren't provided with air conditioning to make a stay more authentic surrounded by the freshness and peacefulness of the green wood.
The big garden outside the Locanda will make you fall in love with Umbria, due to the lovely terraced lawns and woods, to discover by walking or stopping in the shade of an elm to savor the true meaning of relaxation into nature.
Locanda del Gallo gives to its guests the opportunity to combine tours to the most popular towns in Umbria and wellness treatments at the Spa, a shining pearl in Moorish style, which includes sauna and Turkish bath.
Reserve a toning or restoring massage performed by an experienced masseuse, enjoy an herbal tea at the Spa room overlooking the garden or take a dip in the panoramic swimming pool with a view on the hills of Gubbio, discover the pleasure of exclusiveness and privacy in a country house close to art cities such as Perugia and Assisi.
Who arrives at the Locanda can choose among a wide range of activities: explore the green ocean the dwelling, follow the hiking trails riding a mountain bike, or keep fit on the tennis courts located at a short distance from the Locanda, or even book a golf lesson in an 18-hole golf course, just 30 minutes away.
The Jacuzzi next to the outdoor pool is an additional benefit, a way to feel pampered at any time of the day.
Authenticity is the watchword of the inner restaurant, a romantic setting overlooking the countryside, a place where you can taste the typical dishes of Umbrian tradition seasoned with olive oil produced by Locanda.
Vegetables and aromatic herbs from the garden, homemade bread, cakes and yogurt are the tasty ingredients of a charming stay that involves all the senses of guests.
The scent of lavender and rosemary, the flavor of the olive oil, the stone walls of the dwelling, witnesses of its centuries-old history, the vivid and intense colors of the landscape, the dreamy harmony that can be heard only in a place far from the city; these are the unforgettable memories of a stay at Locanda del Gallo.

NATO continues support to Georgia on a path of membership into the alliance – Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of NATO stated in Brussels after signing an accession protocol with North Macedonia. NATO Chief said that the 'historic day' confirmed that NATO door is open to the countries, which satisfy NATO standards.
"NATO door is open to the countries, which satisfy NATO standards, respect NATO values, the supremacy of law, democracy and individual liberties. We are glad what we see in Georgia. We appreciate Georgia's efforts to carry out reforms, strengthen defense institutions and ensure transparency," Stoltenberg stated.
According to NATO Secretary General, the alliance remains committed to the 2008 Bucharest Summit that Georgia will become a NATO member. He also said that NATO was grateful to Georgia for contributing to NATO peacekeeping missions and operations.

Giant water bomber to soak Victorian bushfires
Posted SatSaturday 7 NovNovember 2009 at 1:39amSatSaturday 7 NovNovember 2009 at 1:39am
Victoria will have an extra weapon in the fight against bushfires this summer in the form of a multi-million dollar water bomber.
The jet will be able to soak a bushfire covering more than one kilometre in one hit, and will be able to reach any area within 45 minutes.
The jet will be leased over the summer and will most likely be a modified 747 or DC 10.
A Government spokeswoman says it will be able to carry up to 70,000 litres of water or fire retardant, which is 10 times the amount carried by the Elvis skycrane.
It will be similar to the Russian jets that were rejected by the Government after the Black Saturday fires.
The jet is expected to be housed at Melbourne or Avalon airport, with special infrastructure needed to be fitted to accommodate the aircraft.
The Government sees the jet as a key asset in the fight against a fire season that is expected to be as bad as - if not worse than - the last one, during which 173 people died.
The Victorian Opposition has welcomed the Government's move to lease the bomber, but says it has been left too late to get into the tender process for the aircraft.
But Emergency Services Minister Bob Cameron has denied that.
"This is not late at all. What it will mean is that we will have this aircraft from January through to the end of March," he said.
"What we want is a very large aerial firebomber. There's only limited choices in the market, so we're expecting to receive bids from everyone."
Opposition bushfire response spokesman Peter Ryan says it is a major turnaround by Premier John Brumby.
"The Premier was absolutely dismissive of the use of any such aircraft when we put forward this proposition, because the Russians had offered three Ilyushin aircraft back at Black Saturday or soon after," he said.
"I think the Government does need to explain why it is the Premier rejected this proposition when now we find out they were apparently in discussions with the Federal Government about doing just this."

Peace will only come when the faiths of Jews and Arabs are acknowledged
"If religion is part of the problem, then it must necessarily be part of the solution."
By YAKOV NAGEN
Rabbi Yakov Nagen on a visit with a neighbor in the Hebron hills
(photo credit: EYAL SHANI)
Together with my students, I am sitting in an enormous and magnificent tent in the Hebron Hills. Before us are baskets overflowing with fruit, a generosity characteristic of traditional Arab hospitality. Out of respect for the Jewish guests, consideration has been given to the dietary laws of kashrut.
Our host, the leader of one of the largest clans in Hebron, looks at the students and directs his words principally to them.
"We, the adults, have failed. You need to repair. Oslo was missing fundamentals," he emphatically declares. He explains that because the process was disconnected from the religious and ethnic background of the two nations, it therefore lacked essential foundations. While listening to his words, I could not help but hear an echo of the central claim of my late colleague Rabbi Menachem Froman about the conflict: "If religion is part of the problem, then it must necessarily be part of the solution."
The very name of the peace agreement between Israel and the United Arab Emirates symbolizes a paradigm shift. As opposed to previous accords, Camp David and Oslo, named after locations foreign to the Middle East, the "Abraham Accords" expresses the shared religious heritage uniting Jews and Muslims. If religious identity was once a wedge dividing Jews and Muslims, here it is being channeled to create a narrative of connection.
In the context of today's incendiary world, this narrative could contribute to a shared consciousness of unity within Abrahamic traditions that would have global significance.
On the surface, the potential of shared heritage to connect us should be self-evident. Rabbinic literature respects Islam's belief in the unity of God. Furthermore, Islam grants a special status to Jews as Ahlul Kitab, "People of the Book," and the Koran presents the Bible as a guide granted by God to the Jewish people.
However, the grounded realities are much less rosy then the above would imply, and only if the reasons for discrepancy are properly understood can they be resolved. Fueled in part by medieval Muslim-Jewish polemics, Islamic commentaries on the Koran have undermined its explicit favorable approach toward Judaism. Specifically, verses in the Koran that legitimatize Judaism are declared by commentators as having been abrogated or having relevance only in pre-Islamic times.
Moreover, the Jewish Bible itself is accused of being a distortion of the original book given to the Jews by God. Jewish leaders, in turn, generally chose an insular approach necessary to preserve Jewish identity as a small minority scattered throughout the Diaspora in often hostile environments. Thus, interfaith activities and theology were often neglected or shunned.
BOTH RELIGIONS must now realize how much they benefit from viewing their relationship, not as competing stories, but as complementary components of a shared story. Together they can better meet the challenge of a world in which the alternative for their adherents is not another faith but no faith at all.
While this dynamic is relevant to relationships between all religions, it is particularly significant to the relationship between Judaism and Islam.
Islam is an extension of the story of Judaism. Thus, undermining Judaism and the Torah ultimately undermines Islam, whereas respecting and legitimizing Judaism strengthens Islam's foundations. This is true also about the theological implications of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel.
If Islam has superseded Judaism, Islam will not be able to come to terms with Israel's presence in the Middle East. However, legitimizing Judaism validates Jewish national presence in the Jewish homeland, an idea the Koran often affirms.
From Judaism's perspective, there is great value in acknowledging Islam as one of the Abrahamic religions that has emerged from within it. Seeing Islam's success as a fulfillment of the role of Judaism in the world gives added purpose and meaning to Jewish identity. In fact, much of the negative statements about Jews in the Koran actually stem from anger and frustration about the Jewish rejection of Muhammad after his arriving in Medina in 622 CE.
However, rabbis such as the 12th-century Rabbi Natanel al-Fayyumi and the 20th-century Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook acknowledge Islam as a valid path for serving God and achieving salvation. Continuing their legacy can heal this rupture. The biblical prophets who foretold the return of the Jews to the Land of Israel also envisioned a partnership with humanity united in connection to God. The fulfillment of this vision should be seen in part as a shared consciousness emerging from a common Abrahamic heritage.
The 19th-Century Italian Rabbi Elijah Benamozegh interprets the closing verse of the biblical Book of Malachi that tells of reconciliation between parents and their children as a vision of hope for a future relationship between Judaism and the Abrahamic religions that it spawned. Let us work together to make this vision a reality.
The writer, a rabbi, is the director of the Ohr Torah Stone network's Blickle Center for Interfaith Dialogue.

Do you look at ingredients label when you buy soy sauce? I admit I never had, until my mother informed me a couple of years ago that there were soy sauces being sold that actually did not contain any soy.
I couldn't believe what I found when I started actually reading the labels on some seemingly harmless looking soy sauce packets.
That sure sounds like a fine concoction of chemicals to zombify and preserve me forever… Very creepy… Unfortunately, this is what usually comes packaged with a lot of delivery or takeout.
I am not trying to scare you, but I think it is important to be aware of what you are putting into your body.
That's a lot better! Simpler, identifiable, traditional, and recognizable.
Next time, when you select a soy sauce, remember to check the labels and spend a few more dollars to get real soy sauce.
After all, a bottle of soy sauce will last you a long time. Naturally brewed soy sauce usually has a lightly higher sodium level, so it preserves naturally. Traditionally, there is no need for added preservatives. So spend your money wisely, and give your vote to the product that nourishes you, not poisons you.
Here is the soy sauce I usually use in my kitchen. It's naturally brewed and wheat-free, which means it's gluten-free.

Britain's new Prime Minister Theresa May unveiled her new cabinet on Wednesday, shocking many by putting former London mayor and Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson in charge of foreign policy. David Davis, also a Leave supporter, will become the new "Brexit minister," in charge of negotiating Britain's exit from the EU, while Phillip Hammond, who supported Remain, was named chancellor, replacing George Osborne. According to the Financial Times, Hammond "is not a natural fit" with the new prime minister's aim to ease austerity but will bring business experience to the government table. Hammond told the BBC on Thursday that raising taxes was not the best way to boost consumer confidence and said there was no need for an emergency budget, as Osborne had claimed prior to the June 23 referendum. The Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee meets Thursday and could announce the first cut in interest rates in more than seven years. Financial markets are expecting a reduction of 0.25% as the central bank attempts to boost the economy following the Brexit vote. A survey of estate agents, conducted after the EU referendum, showed a "marked drop in activity in the housing market," the Financial Times reported. People are inquiring less about home buying, mainly in London and south of England and a large number of estate agents believe that prices will drop over the next quarter.

According to a recent report by Bercadia Mortgage indicated the Austin rental market is looking at another 4.5% increase in rates for 2015. This isn't a good sign for renters but definitely for those investors owning rental property. The average market price will be $1,185/mo. According to the study that 4.5% increase includes the newer high risers along with the demolition of Class C and D properties as well. The city of Austin considers affordable house to be 30% of a person income. That means a person would need to make $3850/mo to afford the average rent of $1,185. However, the city considers the living wage in Austin to be $11/hr but that only equates to $22,880/yr salary. This is all about supply and demand. The only real relief for renters is that developers have not slowed down production.


After the recent historic massive X-class barrage from our Sun, on first glance, you could think she has gone back to sleep with just one lonely sunspot AR2680 on the visible surface which poses no threat for strong solar flares whatsoever.
However, our Sun is anything but asleep as a massive Coronal hole is facing Earth and is spewing a stream of solar wind which is battering the Earth's magnetosphere, see below.
Earth is inside a stream of solar wind flowing from this northern coronal hole. Credit: NASA/SDO.
The solar wind is hitting the magnetosphere at an incredible speed of nearly 800km per second, with a density of 4.7 protons/cm3, see below.
The barrage is causing an electrified gale that is sparking G2-class geomagnetic storms on Sept 16th, see the graph below. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras after local nightfall.
The geomagnetic storm is the biggest since the monster X-class flares battered Earth's magnetic field with a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm with solar winds blowing at nearly 800km/sec last week.
The severe storm was from the monster X9-class solar flare, the biggest since 2005 and the equal 14th ever recorded which exploded from our Sun on Wednesday causing wonderful auroras over Scandinavia and as low as Kentucky in the U.S.
