We may be preparing for the debut of BBOTT this week but fear not, fans of the regular TV version. Big Brother 19 will return to CBS television broadcasts in the summer of 2017.
CBS renewed Big Brother for an additional two seasons, another double season pick-up, and that means we'll not only get BB19 but also BB20 the following year as part of CBS's summer lineup through at least 2018. Let's hope it keeps going for even more.
With the online only version, Big Brother Over The Top, starting up many fans were worried we would be losing the television based variant of the series, but that's not happening at all. CBS has instead added the BBOTT series as a complement to the regular schedule which means the online only version for All Access will not be replacing the TV version.
While BBOTT will cover another 10 weeks of the regular off-season for us we'll still have a long wait as usual for the start of Big Brother 19 which I anticipate will kick off in late June 2017 as we've grown accustomed to seeing in recent years. I would then expect another 13-week season lasting us again until mid-September, though maybe they'll wrap things up a few days sooner to give a potential BBOTT sequel some more prep time.
Want to take your shot at the half-million dollar prize? Online applications are now being accepted and open-call casting events are expected for the spring, but no dates or locations announced as of yet.
Be sure to download our Big Brother App, join us on Facebook & Twitter, and get our Email updates for all the latest Big Brother spoilers and news sent directly to you. We can't wait for Big Brother 19!
Oh my dear Matt, you'll only have 2 months to rest before BB Can 5.
I'll cherish every minute of the break!
Matt, you must be very young..or you drink a lot of Red Bull….or a combination of the two. Whatever the case may be, we sure appreciate it. A special shout out to your VERY gracious wife—who is willing to share you with us! Cheers To your lovely bride!
Will you hook me up again with BB Can?
I'll hook you up with Mickey..he's from Canada.
Hahaha. I don't think he's my type.
Hahaha! Yup yup! Im stll hre CY! Chk wikia yuo blodjked! yuo ddnint gve me tje hoodjie!
I hope if BBOTT is a success and it gets renewed they make it its own house, with a new design and a totally new layout. Being in their own new house is 1. Fun for BBUSA fans who have seen three Big Brother house layouts in the past 18 seasons, one of which has been used since 2005 (don't get me wrong it's one of the best houses in worldwide Big Brother but a change of scenery is nice), and 2. Good for legitimizing BBOTT as its own show rather than just a fall add on to regular Big Brother. They're advertising it as its own show totally independent but using the exact same house they used for the past 99 days on a different show? Let's get a new house in somehow.

Q: How to add and use a custom style class in SAPUI5 I am new to SAPUI5 and would like to change the text color of a label to red. How can I do this?
I tried:
sap.ui.getCore().byId("lableID").setStyleClass("red");

but the color does not change.

A: You need to add a style.css file under webapp > css to your project. The style.css file could look like this:
.red {
    color: red;

The Shockbeater is a fabric solution that meets requirements from both EN ISO 11612 standard and NFPA 2112. The light weight makes this a great choice for warm and humid conditions where heat stress is a challenge. Since it is certified according to dual standards it can be used all over the world for different end users requirements without having to have two sets of garments. This fabric has now also got the famous "Dale handle" after adding a special finish to the product. The fabric also has got concealed weft side antistatic stripes for protection against electrostatic discharge.


Why is my CPU working?
Whenever I opened HWinfo64, my CPU cores were shown as six short stationary green bars @ 700+ MHz.
I had to do a complete system reinstall of Win 7 and all apps, and now HWinfo64 shows six continually moving yellow bars @ 3000+ Mhz without any applications running. What's up with that?
I checked the task manager for CPU usage (99% idle), disabled some start up functions, and I even went into msconfig to disable all non-essentials (as a test), and they were still moving a mile a minute. It also shows my RAM going crazy! Any ideas? I want to see my stationary green bars again. Thanks for any help from anywhere.
Yellow bars are absolutely ok - it means your CPU switches to Turbo Mode. All modern CPUs have several operating points and dynamic clock - depending on load change each core's clock several times per second.
1. What CPU do you have?
2. Does this change happen after you switched to the latest version v3.88 ?
3. How frequent do the yellow bars appear?
It worked, Martin. I can post replies now. Thanks.

2.4.2 Job Offers and Profile Information.
Information on employer job offers and worker profiles must be true and accurate as they form the basis of a legal binding contract between the employer and worker. Workers On Call reserves the right to all information provided on a User's profile or in a job offer. Users attest that they have the skills and ability to perform requested Services as stated in their profile, and have the ability to complete the job requested within any time limits specified by the job offer.
It is the responsibility of Employers to regularly review daily work as provided by one of the Workers On Call time tracking applications as well as regularly determining the quality of interim work products. It is the Employers responsibility to respond promptly to requests for more information from the Worker.
Workers agree to login to Workers On Call and change their status to show they are working and track their jobs in the job tracking center. Time not logged inside the Workers On Call system will not be paid. Time logged for a Contract must be directly related to the completion of that Contract. If the Worker bills offline time, those hours are subject to dispute by the Employer. The Worker is responsible for completing the Contract, unless otherwise stated in advance by the Employer. Workers, unless identified as an agency, may not transfer the work identified in the Contract. Workers agree to respond to all Employer communications within one business day. Workers will be required to give 2 weeks notice if unable to meet requirements due to an absence.
Employers agree that there is no guarantee of the perceived or real quality of work for Hourly-Rate Contracts. The Employer is paying for the hours worked associated with the Contract, and not for any specific deliverables or results. If the Employer wishes to only pay for performance based on milestones or deliverables, the Employer should hire Workers via a Fixed-Bid Contract. Employers have the right to dispute time worked in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Policy.
Workers agree that there is no guarantee of payment for Fixed-Bid Contracts. Employers have complete and sole discretion to determine whether a Worker has completed a Fixed-Bid Contract and whether to pay the Worker. Workers On Call maintains an escrow account equal to the amount of any Fixed-Bid Contract and releases those funds only upon the release of those funds by the Employer.
Except pursuant to the Buyout Policy below, Employer shall make all payments relating to, or in any way connected with, a Contract (including, without limitation, bonus payments) through the Workers On Call Site. Any action that encourages or solicits complete or partial payment outside of the Workers On Call Site is a violation of this Agreement. Should an Employer be found in violation of this section of this Agreement, it will owe Workers On Call fees equal to the greater of a) $10,000; or b) the applicable fees had the payments been processed through the Workers On Call Site plus 20%. Employer shall immediately notify Workers On Call if a Worker requests that Employer make a payment directly to it or through any channels other than those provided or specified by Workers On Call. Worker shall not accept any payments relating to a Contract (including, without limitation, bonuses) from an employer directly or through any payment channels other than the Workers On Call Site. Worker shall immediately notify Workers On Call if an Employer attempts to make a payment to Worker directly or through any payment channels other than those provided or specified by Workers On Call.
Prior to contracting outside of Workers On Call to receive Services from a User identified through the Workers On Call system, the Employer will notify Workers On Call in writing of its intent to pay the Buy-Out fee in lieu of paying through the Workers On Call Site.
Together with such notice, the Employer will provide a good faith estimate of the then anticipated amount to be paid to the Worker for such Services during the fifty-two week period immediately following the date of such notice.
Together with such notice, the Employer will pay or authorize Workers On Call to deduct from its account the greater of (i) fifteen percent (15%) of the good faith estimate described above; (ii) fifty-two (52) times the "Average Weekly Workers On Call Fees" (as defined below); or (iii) five hundred dollars ($500). For purposes of the foregoing, the "Average Weekly Workers On Call Fees" means the average weekly amount of Workers On Call Fees that became due to Workers On Call based upon work performed for Employer by the Worker over the four (4) weeks immediately preceding the buy-out notice described above, not counting any weeks in which no Workers On Call Fees became due.
The transmission of funds in the manner described herein is not a separate and discrete service that Workers On Call provides in addition to its Workers On Call Site services. Rather, transmission of funds in an auditable manner is an integral part of the Workers On Call Site services that Workers On Call is providing.
The Workers On Call payment account is a custodial account administered by Workers On Call to facilitate disbursement of the Employer's payment to the Worker.
Workers On Call acts as agent of the Worker and not as a trustee or fiduciary with respect to payments received through Workers On Call.
Workers On Call holds funds delivered to it in a commingled account at a bank, and may include in the titling of that account "Workers On Call for the benefit of others" (FBO) or similar words. Workers On Call maintains records at Workers On Call that should, in the event of a bank failure, allow the FDIC to determine which funds are payable to which Workers.
Workers On Call will not voluntarily make your funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy within the limits of the law.
You agree that you will not receive interest or other earnings on the funds that Workers On Call handles as your agent and places in comingled accounts. In consideration for your use of the Workers On Call Site, you irrevocably transfer and assign to Workers On Call any ownership right that you may have in any interest that may accrue on funds held in commingled accounts. This assignment applies only to interest earned on your funds, and nothing in this Agreement grants Workers On Call any ownership right to the principal of the funds you maintain with Workers On Call. In addition to or instead of earning interest on commingled accounts, Workers On Call may receive a reduction in fees or expense charged for banking services by the banks that hold your funds that are not passed on to the Worker.
If Employer fails to pay amounts due under this Agreement, whether by cancelling Employer's credit card, initiating an improper chargeback, or any other means, Employer's Workers On Call account will be suspended, no additional payments will be processed, and any work-in-progress will be stopped. Without limiting other available remedies, Employer must reimburse Workers On Call for amounts due upon demand, plus any applicable processing fees, charges or penalties, plus interest at the lesser of one and one-half percent (2.5%) per month or the maximum allowed by law, plus attorneys fees and other costs of collection as allowed by law. In its discretion, Workers On Call may set off amounts due against other amounts received from or held for Employer, make appropriate reports to credit reporting agencies and law enforcement authorities, and cooperate with them in any resulting investigation or prosecution.
Repeated failure of credit card charges and subsequent remediation may result in Workers On Call requiring that a deposit be paid by the employer before the start of any work on a Contract by worker. This deposit amount is at the sole discretion of Workers On Call.
Workers On Call reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to place a hold on funds for Employer payments to clear or if Workers On Call suspects monies may be subject to charge back or if fraud is suspected. Workers On Call will release a hold as soon as deemed appropriate. In cases of fraud, abuse or violation of this Agreement, all monies in a Workers On Call account may be held and/or reclaimed, not just those from the Contract(s) under investigation.
For Hourly-Rate Contracts only, Employers may dispute hours during the three (3) days following the close of a weekly invoice period. It is the Employer's responsibility to review the Time Log of every Contract on a weekly basis and to file any disputes on a timely basis. Once the dispute period has passed, the charges are accepted by the Employer and can no longer be disputed and can only be refunded by the Worker. Disputes can only address the hours billed, not the quality of the work performed or deliverables.
Workers On Call provides its feedback and rating system as a means through which Users can express their opinions publicly. Workers On Call does not monitor or censor these opinions or investigate any remarks posted by Users for accuracy or reliability. You acknowledge and agree that the Workers On Call Site will contain public feedback from Users with whom you have transacted. You acknowledge that feedback results for you may consist of comments and ratings left by other Users and that Workers On Call may calculate a composite feedback number based on these individual ratings. You may be held legally responsible for damages suffered by other Workers On Call Users or third parties as a result of these remarks if a court finds that these remarks are legally actionable or defamatory. Workers On Call is not responsible for any feedback or comments posted or made available on the Workers On Call Site by any Users or third parties, even if that information is defamatory or otherwise legally actionable. Any effort to falsify feedback, manipulate or coerce another User by threatening negative feedback or offering to sell or buy Services in exchange for feedback is in violation of this Agreement. Workers On Call reserves the right to delete ratings and feedback as it deems appropriate.
Furthermore, users may choose to include ratings from third-party websites as indicated by their approval of appplications that allow the automated download of this information to the Workers On Call website. Workers On Call is not legally responsible for information retrieved from and displayed from a third-party site. Workers On Call will identify the source of that content when displayed on the Workers On Call web site as part of user's profile. Workers On Call does not claim copyright or ownership of any content loaded from a third party site and this content may be removed upon request of either the user or the third party site from which it was loaded. This information is being downloaded for informational purposes and is in no way intended to advertise, entice or in any way influence the user as to which service they select to use.
2.12 Workers On Call Education and Skill Tests.
Workers On Call may at its discretion provide education and skills tests through its own means or third parties. These educational programs and tests are optional for the Workers. They are meant as an informational data point evaluating Workers and are in no way a certification by Workers On Call of the User's ability to perform Services associated with a test. Manipulating test scores by providing or receiving answers to the test, allowing others to take the tests or any other attempt at falsifying credentials is a violation of this Agreement.
2.13 Agencies and Agency Workers.
An "Agency" is an organization seeking to make money on Workers On Call by selling the Services of Agency Workers. An "Agency Worker" is a Worker under contract to do work on Workers On Call on behalf of an Agency. An Agency has a manager responsible for the actions of all its members, including its Agency Workers, administrators in charge of maintaining the Agency's finances, roster, and profile, and staffing managers in charge of finding and supervising Contracts. One User may serve in all or multiple roles. Every person who will do work for an Agency must have an individual User account and Worker profile associated with that persons Agency on Workers On Call. Agencies must comply with Section 2.3 ("Identity") below. If an Agency Worker is no longer working for an Agency, the Agency may not use the Worker's profile in any way. Workers leaving an Agency must contact the Agency manager to remove their association. Agencies may not refuse to release an Agency Worker. When leaving the Agency, Agency Workers keep their profiles, including their work and feedback histories. Their histories are meant to reflect work done by them. The Agency's work and feedback history will retain the Contracts of Workers who have since left the Agency. An Agency that requests the immediate suspension of a Worker must provide the documents and supporting legal authority that proves, to Workers On Call's satisfaction, that the Worker has breached a non-compete agreement or a Workers On Call policy.
2.14 Enforcement of User Agreement and Policies.
Workers On Call has the right, but not the obligation, to suspend or cancel your access to the Workers On Call Site if it believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of this Agreement or violated our rights or those of another party. Without limiting Workers On Call's other remedies, we may suspend or terminate your account, use self-help in connection with our rights to reclaim any available funds, and refuse to provide any further access to the Workers On Call Site to you if (a) you breach any terms and conditions of this Agreement or other written policies and procedures posted on the Site; (b) we are unable to verify or authenticate any information you provide to us; or (c) we believe that your actions may cause legal liability for you, our Users or for Workers On Call. Once suspended or terminated, you MAY NOT continue to use the Workers On Call Site under a different account or re-register under a new account. If you attempt to use the Workers On Call Site under a different account, we reserve the right to reclaim available funds in that account and/or use an available payment method to pay for any amounts outstanding. In addition, violations of this Agreement may be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and may result in additional penalties and sanctions. When your User account is canceled, you may no longer have access to any parts of the Workers On Call Site, including data, messages, files and other material you keep on Workers On Call. All intellectual property provided by Employers for the purposes of completing Contracts will be returned by Workers immediately upon termination.
3. SERVICE CONTRACT TERMS BETWEEN EMPLOYER AND WORKER.
User agrees that all Service Contracts between any Employer or Worker shall: (i) include the terms and conditions provided in Sections 3.1 through 3.10 below ("Standard Terms"); (ii) name Workers On Call as an express third party beneficiary under the Service Contract; and (iii) make no representations or warranties or enter into any contracts on behalf of Workers On Call, except as may be otherwise provided for herein. Employer and Worker may agree to terms in their Service Contract materially different than the Standard Terms; however, nothing in such Service Contract will in any way limit or modify Workers On Call's rights.
Worker shall perform Services in a professional and workmanlike manner. Under Fixed-Price Contracts, Worker shall deliver the agreed-upon Work Product. Under Hourly-Rate Contracts, Worker shall use reasonable efforts to create the desired Work Product.
Work performed on Hourly-Rate Contracts under a Worker's profile must be performed by the Worker represented. If the Worker wishes to subcontract with third parties to perform Services on behalf of the Worker on Hourly-Rate Contracts, the Worker must do so as an Agency. Worker and Agency agree and acknowledge that Agency's employees or contract personnel are not employees of Workers On Call or Employer. Agency is solely responsible for all wages, costs, and expenses of Agency's employees or contract personnel and has the sole and exclusive right to supervise and control them. Neither Employer, nor Workers On Call, will require Agency's contract personnel to devote full time to performing the Contracts entered into by Agency as required by this Agreement. Furthermore, both Worker and Agency acknowledge and agree that neither it, nor any of its employees or agents, shall have any claim under this Agreement for overtime pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, retirement benefits, worker's compensation benefits, unemployment benefits, or any other employee benefits of any kind from Workers On Call or Employer.
Employer shall pay Worker the agreed-upon fees for time spent (under Hourly-Rate Contracts) or delivery and acceptance of the Work Product (under Fixed-Price Contracts). All amounts paid by Employer shall be paid through the Workers On Call Site to Workers On Call as the Worker's agent, and Employer's obligation of payment to Worker is met when payment is made to Workers On Call and funds are received by Workers On Call.
Employer will be billed a fee for transaction processing. This fee may vary from time to time. The fee for credit card transactions is 2.5% and the fee for funding the employer account via PayPal is $1. The fee for ACH funding of accounts when available will be $1.
3.4 Termination of a Service Contract.
Under Hourly-Rate Contracts, either party may terminate the Service Contract at any time for any or no reason. However, the Employer remains obligated to pay for any time the Worker worked prior to termination.
For Fixed-Price Contracts, the Employer may terminate at any time but may not recover any payments made to the Worker unless mutually agreeable. The Worker may terminate a Fixed-Price Contract at any time if no payment has been made. If a payment has been made on a Fixed Price Contract, the Worker may terminate only with written agreement from the Employer or after the payment has been refunded.
Employer grants Worker a limited, non-exclusive, revocable (at any time, at Employer's sole discretion) right to use the Employer Deliverables as necessary for the performance of the Services. Employer reserves all other rights and interest, including, without limitation, all Proprietary Rights, in and to the Employer Deliverables. Upon completion or termination of the Service Contract, or upon written request by the Employer, Worker shall immediately return all Employer Deliverables to the Employer and further agrees to purge all copies of Employer Deliverables and Work Product contained in or on Worker's premises, systems, or any other equipment otherwise under Worker's control. Worker agrees to provide written certification to the Employer certifying the return or purging of Employer Deliverables within ten (10) days after the receipt of the Employer's written request to certify.
Any copyrightable works or works for hire prepared by Worker in connection with a Fixed-Price Contract for Employer shall be owned by the Worker until payment has been made by the Employer and accepted by the Worker. If the Employer pays an amount less than the amount agreed to in the Service Contract, the Worker may refund the amount paid within two (2) weeks of the payment date and retain ownership of the Work Product.
For Hourly-Rate Contracts, the Employer is considered the author and owner of works created once payment for the period of time in question has been made in full, assuming that all hours worked are properly tracked using the Workers On Call Time Tracking System. Once payment has been made in accordance with the above, Worker shall be deemed to have assigned all Proprietary Rights in the Work Product to the Employer. In this case all work performed is considered "Work for Hire."
To the extent that under applicable law, Proprietary Rights cannot be assigned, Worker hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to Employer an exclusive (excluding also Worker), perpetual, irrevocable, unlimited, worldwide, fully paid, and unconditional license to use and commercialize Work Product in any manner now known or in the future discovered. To the extent such license grant is not fully valid, effective or enforceable under applicable law, Worker hereby irrevocably agrees to grant, and hereby grants, to Employer, such rights as Employer reasonably requests in order to acquire, as close as possible, all rights equivalent to full legal ownership. In order to ensure that Employer will be able to acquire, perfect and use such Proprietary Rights, Worker will: (i) transfer possession, ownership, and title to media, models, and other tangible objects containing Work Product to Employer; (ii) sign any documents at Employer's request to assist Employer in the documentation, perfection and enforcement of its rights; and (iii) provide Employer with support and reasonable access to information for recording, perfecting, securing, defending, and enforcing such Proprietary Rights. Worker also irrevocably authorizes Employer to act and sign on Worker's behalf and take any necessary steps in order to perfect Employer's rights under this Agreement. In the case that under applicable law, Worker retains any rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights") or other inalienable rights to Work Product or Confidential Information under this Agreement, Worker irrevocably agrees to waive, and hereby waives, all such rights, or, to the extent Worker cannot waive such rights, Worker agrees not to exercise such rights, until Worker has provided prior written notice to Employer and then only in accordance with any reasonable instructions that Employer issues in the interest of protecting its rights. Worker agrees to assist Employer in every proper way to obtain and enforce the Proprietary Rights and other legal protections for the Work Product in any and all countries. Worker will sign all documents that the Employer may reasonably request for use in obtaining and enforcing such protection, including, but not limited to, any assignment deed which the Employer may select at its sole discretion. Worker's obligations under this Section 3.6 will continue even after Worker deregisters from or ceases use of the Workers On Call Site. Worker appoints Employer as Worker's attorney-in-fact to execute documents on Worker's behalf for the purposes set forth in this Section 3.6.
3.7 Pre-existing Intellectual Property in Work Product.
Worker shall ensure that no Work Product created or delivered by Worker includes any pre-existing software, technology or other intellectual property, whether such pre-existing intellectual property is owned by Worker or a third party including, without limitation, code written by proprietary software companies or developers in the open source community (collectively "Pre-existing IP") without obtaining the prior written consent of the Employer to the inclusion of such Pre-existing IP in the Work Product. Worker acknowledges that, without limiting any other remedies, Worker shall not be entitled to payment for, and shall refund any payments to Worker for, any Services performed on a Contract if the Work Product contains any Pre-existing IP that was not approved in accordance with this Section 3.7.
Employer assumes all liability for proper classification of workers as independent Workers or employees based on applicable legal guidelines. This Agreement does not create a partnership or agency relationship between Employer and Worker. Worker does not have authority to enter into written or oral whether implied or express contracts on behalf of Employer.
Worker acknowledges that Workers On Call does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control Worker's work or Services performed in any manner. Workers On Call does not set Worker's work hours and location of work. Workers On Call will not provide Worker with training or any equipment, labor or materials needed for a particular Contract. Workers further acknowledge that all contracts formed through Workers On Call are considered work-for-hire contacts and all intellectual property will remain the property of the employer unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
Workers On Call will not deduct any amount for withholding, unemployment, Social Security, or other taxes as it would in the case of an employee. Employer and Worker will be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state, or local tax authority with respect to Worker's performance of Services.
For Contracts classified as independent Worker relationships, Employer may not require an exclusive relationship between Employer and Worker. A Worker classified as independent Worker is free at all times to provide Services to persons or businesses other than Employer, including any competitor of Employer.
Employer and Worker agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Workers On Call from any and all claims arising out of or related to their Service Contract, including but not limited to claims that Worker was misclassified as an independent Worker, any liabilities arising from a determination by a court, arbitrator, government agency or other body that Worker was misclassified as an employee (including, but not limited to, taxes, penalties, interest and attorney's fees), any claim that Workers On Call was an employer or joint employer of Worker, as well as claims under any employment-related laws, such as those relating to employment termination, employment discrimination, harassment or retaliation, as well as any claims for overtime pay, sick leave, holiday or vacation pay, retirement benefits, worker's compensation benefits, unemployment benefits, or any other employee benefits.
Employer and Worker each shall (i) create and maintain records to document satisfaction of its obligations under this Agreement and any Service Contract, including without limitation its payment obligations and compliance with tax laws, and (ii) provide copies of such records to Workers On Call upon request. Workers On Call, or Workers On Call's advisors or agents, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to routinely, but no less frequently than annually, audit Worker's operations and records to confirm compliance. Nothing in this provision should be construed as providing Workers On Call with the right or obligation to supervise or monitor the actual Services performed by Worker.
Service Contracts shall be governed by Sections 6 (Confidential Information) 11 (General) and 12 (Definitions) of this Agreement, as applicable either directly or by way of analogy.
The terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3 and any additional or different terms expressly agreed by Employer and Worker shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding of Employer and Worker with respect to each Service Contract and shall cancel and supersede any other prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and/or other communications between them.
4. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS BY USER OF WORKER ON CALL'S ROLE.
User expressly acknowledges, agrees and understands that: (i) the Workers On Call Site is merely a venue where Users may act as Employers or Workers; (ii) Workers On Call is not a party to any Service Contracts between Employers and Workers; (iii) User recognizes, acknowledges and agrees that User is not an employee of Workers On Call and that Workers On Call does not, in any way, supervise, direct, or control User's work or Services; (iv) Workers On Call shall not have any liability or obligations under or related to Service Contracts or any acts or omissions by Users; (v) Workers On Call has no control over Workers or over the Services promised or rendered by Workers; and, (vi) Workers On Call makes no representations as to the reliability, capability, or qualifications of any Worker or the quality, security or legality of any Services, and Workers On Call disclaims any and all liability relating thereto.
Workers On Call and its licensors reserve all Proprietary Rights in and to the Workers On Call Site. User may not use the Workers On Call Site except as necessary for the purposes of discharging its obligations under this Agreement and any Service Contract entered into pursuant to this Agreement and on the terms set out in the License Agreement. Workers On Call reserves the right to withdraw, expand and otherwise change the Workers On Call Site at any time in Workers On Call's sole discretion. User shall not be entitled to create any "links" to the Workers On Call Site, or "frame" or "mirror" any content contained on, or accessible through, the Workers On Call Site, on any other server or internet-based device.
4.3 Workers On Call's Compensation.
All Workers On Call Fees are non-refundable, whether or not Service Contracts were satisfactorily completed.
5.1 Formal Invoices and Taxes.
Workers On Call shall have no responsibility for determining the necessity of or for issuing any formal invoices, or for determining, remitting, or withholding any taxes applicable to Worker Fees. Instead, Worker shall be solely responsible for determining whether it is required by applicable law to issue any formal invoices for the Worker Fees and for issuing any invoices so required. Worker shall also be solely responsible for: (a) determining whether Worker or Workers On Call is required by applicable law to remit to the appropriate authorities any value added tax or any other taxes or similar charges applicable to the Worker Fees, and remitting any such taxes or charges to the appropriate authorities on behalf of itself or Workers On Call, as appropriate; and (b) determining whether Workers On Call is required by applicable law to withhold any amount of the Worker Fees, notifying Workers On Call of any such requirement and indemnifying Workers On Call (either by permitting Workers On Call to offset the relevant amount against a future payment of Worker Fees or by refunding to Workers On Call the relevant amount, at Workers On Calls sole discretion) for any requirement to pay any withholding amount to the appropriate authorities. Workers On Call shall have the right, but not the obligation, to audit and monitor Worker's compliance with applicable tax laws as required by this Section 5.1. Further, in the event of an audit of Workers On Call, Worker agrees to promptly cooperate with Workers On Call and provide copies of Worker's tax returns, and other documents as may be reasonably requested for purposes of such audit.
For Hourly-Rate Contracts, Employer will be billed for hourly Worker Fees on a weekly basis or at the end of the work being performed. For bonuses, milestone payments and Fixed-Price payments, Employer is billed immediately. If Employer believes an Hourly-Rate Contract charge to be incorrect, Employer shall notify Workers On Call within the time period set forth in the Dispute Resolution Policy (Section 2.10 above), in which case Workers On Call will promptly investigate the Time Log to determine, in its sole discretion, whether an adjustment is appropriate. Workers On Call's determination shall be final. If Employer does not notify Workers On Call within this time set forth in the Dispute Resolution Policy, the charge automatically becomes final and Employer cannot appeal it.
Employer hereby authorizes Workers On Call to run credit card authorizations on all credit cards provided by Employer, to store credit card details as Employer's method of payment for Services, and to charge Employer's credit card (or any other form of payment authorized by Workers On Call or mutually agreed to between Employer and Workers On Call).
5.4 Dispute Resolution Policy Between Worker and Employer.
Workers On Call does not guarantee performance of the Employer's payment to you as a Service Worker working on Hourly-Rate Contracts where the Employer has a verified payment method, the time represented is captured online using the Workers On Call Team software, the work performed and captured pertains directly to the Service Contract billed, and each Time Log is annotated with appropriate work memos describing the work performed. Determination of whether these criteria have been met is at the sole discretion of Workers On Call. The Payment Guarantee will not apply to Workers or Contracts in violation of this Agreement, where the Worker is aware of or complicit in another Users violation of this Agreement, or where there is any other involvement in fraudulent activities or abuse of this Payment Guarantee.
To the extent an employer or Worker provides Confidential Information to the other and/or to Workers On Call, the recipient shall protect the secrecy of the Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event with less than due care, and shall not: (i) disclose Confidential Information to anyone except, in the case of Workers On Call, to any Employer or Worker engaged in a Contract; and (ii) use the Confidential Information, except as necessary for the performance of Services for the relevant Contract (including, without limitation, the storage or transmission of Confidential Information on or through Workers On Call Site for use by Worker).
If and when Confidential Information is no longer needed for the performance of Services for the relevant Contract, or at the Employer's or Worker's written request (which may be made at any time at Employer's or Worker's sole discretion), Employer or Worker (as the case may be) shall promptly destroy or return all Confidential Information and any copies thereof contained in or on its premises, systems, or any other equipment otherwise under its control. Each of Employer or Worker, as applicable, agrees to provide written certification to the party disclosing the Confidential Information of compliance with this Section 6.2 within ten (10) days after the receipt of disclosing partys written request to certify.
Without limiting Section 6.1 (Confidentiality), Employer, Worker and Workers On Call shall not publish, or cause to be published, any Confidential Information or Work Product, except as may be necessary for performance of Services for a relevant Contract.
Workers On Call MAKES NO EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH REGARD TO THE SERVICES, WORK PRODUCT, Workers On Call Site OR ANY ACTIVITIES OR ITEMS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Workers On Call DISCLAIMS ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. SECTION 10.2 (TERMINATION) STATES USER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST Workers On Call WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFECTS, NON-CONFORMANCES OR DISSATISFACTION.
IN NO EVENT WILL Workers On Call BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT COSTS OR DAMAGES, LITIGATION COSTS, INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL COSTS, OR LOSS OF DATA, PRODUCTION OR PROFIT. THE LIABILITY OF Workers On Call TO ANY USER FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (A) U.S. $2,500; AND (B) ANY Workers On Call FEES RETAINED BY Workers On Call WITH RESPECT TO CONTRACTS ON WHICH USER WAS INVOLVED AS Employer OR Worker DURING THE SIX (6) MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE CLAIM. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY TO ANY LIABILITY, ARISING FROM ANY CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH COSTS OR DAMAGES AND EVEN IF THE LIMITED REMEDIES PROVIDED HEREIN FAIL OF THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Each User shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Workers On Call and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, representatives and agents (each an "Indemnified Party" for purposes of this Section 9) from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to any claim, judgment, or adjudication that any Work Product, Services or action or omission by such User infringes Proprietary Rights or other rights of any third party.
Each Employer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to (i) such Employer's use of Services, including without limitation claims by or on behalf of any Worker for Worker's Compensation or unemployment benefits, or (ii) any Service Contract entered into between such Employer and a Worker.
Each Worker shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and all related costs and expenses) arising from or relating to (i) such Worker's provision of Services, or (ii) any Service Contract entered into between such Worker and an employer.
The term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and continues in effect until terminated in accordance with Section 10.2 below.
Either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, with or without cause, effective immediately upon written notice to the other party (or by terminating or suspending Users account), provided, that any such termination for convenience shall not affect the validity of any Service Contracts that have been executed prior to termination and this Agreement shall continue to apply with respect to such Service Contracts.
Termination shall not relieve Employer of the requirement to pay for time spent and expenses incurred prior to the effective date of the termination, which fees and expenses, together with any applicable taxes, shall be invoiced to Employer following termination pursuant to Section 5.2 (Billing Employer), and charged to Employer's credit card or other form of payment pursuant to Section 5.3 (Payment). Subject to Section 5.4 (Dispute Resolution Policy), Workers On Call shall pay Worker, in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 (Fees and Payments), for all time recorded in the Time Logs incurred prior to the effective date of the termination.
Sections 4 through 12 of this Agreement shall survive any termination thereof.
This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to its subject matter and cancels and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous discussions, agreements, representations, warranties, and other communications between them.
Section 11.1 notwithstanding, Employers and Workers may enter into any supplemental or other written agreement that they deem appropriate (e.g., confidentiality agreement, work for hire agreement, assignment of rights, etc.). The terms and conditions of this Agreement, however, will govern and supersede any term or condition in a side agreement that purports to expand Workers On Call's obligations or restrict Workers On Call's rights under this Agreement.
User shall not violate any laws or third party rights on or related to the Workers On Call Site. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, User agrees to comply with all applicable import and export control laws and third parties' Proprietary Rights.

For the purposes of this Section 11.5, a written instrument shall expressly exclude electronic communications such as email and electronic notices but shall include facsimiles.
The failure or delay of either party to exercise or enforce any right or claim does not constitute a waiver of such right or claim and shall in no way affect that party's right to later enforce or exercise it, unless such party issues an express written waiver, signed by a duly authorized representative of each party.
If and to the extent any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable in whole or in part under applicable law, such provision or such portion thereof shall be ineffective as to the jurisdiction in which it is illegal, invalid, or unenforceable to the extent of its illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability, and shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law so as to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties. The illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability of such provision in that jurisdiction shall not in any way affect the legality, validity, or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction or of any other provision in any jurisdiction.
This Agreement and any controversy, dispute or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement ("Claims") shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii, without regard to its conflict of law provisions and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

Tell us about a deep soul connection you've experienced. I have had the most fortunate opportunity to have a deep soul connection with a woman. She was someone I knew before I met her. The feelings I shared with her were unlike anything I have ever felt. Because of her, I felt gratitude for the first time in my life. I know this to be a deep soul connection because prior to meeting her, I led a selfish, self-centered existence that no human power could have cured. By losing her, I found forgiveness, humility, gratitude and a genuine love of life and the gift that this life is.
Describe one of the most soul-opening moments of your life. My most soul-opening moment came in a good old-fashioned, ever so slow, passionate kiss. When I put my hand on the small of her back, it was electric. Before our lips touched, I could feel my soul opening—like a flower blooming in the sun for the first time. As she exhaled and I inhaled, I felt one constant, circular, never-ending breath. An unending energy.
When do you feel your most soulful? When I am running. When I run, I feel the physical manifestation of my inner voice. I can't describe it, I can't explain it. When I run, I am soothing my soul.
Where in the world have you felt most in touch with your soul? I am most in touch with my own soul in my home. After years of bouncing from job to job and state to state, it was when I bought my childhood home that I found the groundedness I had been searching for my whole life. It was through the restoration of this house that I restored my spirit. Here, I connect to that Oneness that we all need to grow.
Describe one of the most soulful people you've ever known. My 11-year-old goddaughter Maddie. She has the innocence and wisdom of an old soul. She has a caring, yet curious personality that lets her speak her mind without hurting anything or anyone. She has a way of walking through the garden of life without trampling the flowers.
What qualities do you feel a soulful relationship has? A soul relationship has humility, compassion and energy. It has a purpose. There is a give and take that keeps it alive and growing. It also has a timeline... a reason, a season or a lifetime.
What do you feel your soul's purpose is? Today I believe my soul's purpose is to grow along spiritual lines. I have a purpose to feel feelings, process emotions and live a happy, joyous and free existence.

William Henry Fitzhugh Lee (31. května 1837 – 15. října 1891), častěji znám jako Rooney Lee, byl druhým ze tří synů generála Roberta Edwarda Lee a zároveň třetím z celkem sedmi jeho dětí. Během Americké občanské války bojoval jako generál na straně Konfederace.

Pojmenován je po vzdáleném bratranci jedné Rooneyovy babičky a zároveň bratrovi té druhé. Přezdívku Rooney získal zhruba ve třech měsících, hlavně proto, aby bylo jednodušší odlišit jej od vlastního bratrance, který se také jmenoval Fitzhugh Lee. Na rozdíl od jiných přezdívek ostatních příbuzných, tato je provázela celým životem. Jako Rooney byl znám mezi příbuznými, spolužáky i vojáky.

Dětství
Už od útlého dětství trpěl revmatismem, stejnou chorobou trpěla také řada jeho příbuzných (včetně matky, která nakonec skončila připoutána na invalidní vozík). Bez ohledu na to byl od samotného narození velmi divokým dítětem, které nebylo snadné udržet na uzdě. V osmi letech si při hře se řezačkou slámy uřízl konečky dvou prstů levé ruky. Však doktor mu je přišil zpět, oba prsty dobře srostly a tato nehoda se obešla bez následků. Miloval jízdu na koni a přírodu vůbec.

Díky nehodě se řezačkou nicméně došlo k jisté změně Rooneyho charakteru. Stal se pokornějším a poslušnějším, naučil se lépe kontrolovat vlastní divokou náturu. Díky tomu z něj mohl vyrůst odvážný velitel, který však nikdy příliš nehazardoval se životy svých podřízených, protože o veškerém svém rozhodnutí vždy velmi pečlivě přemýšlel.

Vzdělání
Rooney pocházel z dobré rodiny a proto se mu také dostalo kvalitního vzdělání. První jeho učitelkou byla přirozeně jeho matka Mary Anna Custis Lee. Vynikal ve francouzštině i řečtině, nicméně s jinými předměty se potýkal s nechutí. Zřejmě proto, že jeho živá povaha se nedala utlumit natolik, aby se mohl na studium soustředit. Studoval na soukromé škole v New Yorku a jeho snem bylo dostat se na vojenskou akademii ve West Pointu, což ovšem zůstalo snem nenaplněným, protože podle pravidel nesměli ve stejnou dobu navštěvovat tuto školu dva bratři. Proto nastoupil na Harvard, kde studoval práva. Avšak toto studium jej nijak neuspokojovalo a vynikal zde pouze jako schopný sportovec a také zakladatel diskusních kroužků, ne už jako student. Nepřestal toužit po vojenské kariéře a nakonec opustil universitu po třech letech, aniž by ji dokončil a roku 1857 vstoupil do armády.

Rodina
V roce 1857 nastala v Rooneyho životě také další změna. Zasnoubil se se vzdálenou sestřenicí Charlottou Wickham, kterou velice miloval. A také zemřel jeho dědeček George Washington Parke Custis, který odkázal každému ze svých tří vnuků dům s pozemky. Rooney získal farmu White House, na které si Rooneyho praprababička Martha Washingtonová brala svého druhého muže George Washingtona.

Po dvouletém zasnoubení a dvou letech v armádě rezignoval, vrátil se domů, oženil se a začal zde farmařit. Roku 1860 se mladým manželům narodil syn Robert E. Lee. Nicméně toto rodinné štěstí nevydrželo příliš dlouho, protože vypukla americká občanská válka.

Válka
Začínal v hodnosti kapitána s 9. virginským jízdním plukem. Jak jinak, než u kavalerie. U ní to dotáhl až na plukovníka. Muži jej měli rádi pro jeho laskavost, inteligenci a smysl pro humor. Taky možná proto, že nezapomínal tváře ani jména a znal osobně každého z nich. Přinejmenším dokud nepovýšil na brigádního generála a nezískal ke svému pluku další tři. Byl na kavaleristu snad až příliš veliký, měřil zhruba 196 centimetrů a vážil bezmála 100 kg. Zřejmě také proto jej všichni zahrnovali respektem. Jako velitel kavalérie byl uvážlivý a ze všech svých sil se staral nejen o své muže, ale i o koně. Uvědomoval si velmi dobře, že kavalérie bez koní není žádnou kavalérií.

Koncem roku 1862 zemřela Rooneyho mladší sestra Annie, následně také jeho malý syn, dcera, která zemřela v pouhých sedmi týdnech a v neposlední době přišel o svůj dům, který shořel do základů. 9. 6. 1863 byl on sám vážně raněn do nohy v bitvě u Brandy Station a uzdravit se měl v domě rodiny své ženy. Nicméně poté, co celá konfederační armáda vytáhla směrem ke Gettysburgu, obsadila tuto část Virginie seveřanská armáda a Rooney byl zajat. Následujících devět měsíců strávil jako válečný zajatec ve federálním vězení. A přímo tam zjistil nemilou skutečnost, že zemřela Charlotta. Stal se vdovcem v pětadvaceti letech. Na jaře byl propuštěn při výměně zajatců a vrátil se ke své jízdě. S ní zůstal až do kapitulace.

Poválečná doba
Rooney Lee byl pardonován jako ostatní konfederační generálové a živil se nadále jako farmář. Postavil znovu svůj dům a zapojil se do politiky. Založil zemědělskou školu a v politice to dotáhl až do senátu. Znovu se oženil s Mary Tabb Bolling a z jejich pěti dětí přežili dva synové dětství. Robert E. Lee III vystudoval práva a George Bolling Lee medicínu.

Generál W. H. F. Lee zemřel v čtyřiapadesáti letech. Pohřben je v Lee-Chappel spolu se svou rodinou.

Microbiological testing is needed and required to many industries around the world. These include industries where health of humans is at great risk of being affected by presence of disease causing bacteria, biological pathogens, and other kinds of toxins. In other cases, the need for this kind of testing is life or death.
There are many microbes that are not harmful to humans, but unfortunately, there are some that could cause serious issues. They can cause diseases, introduce toxins, spoil food, and may lead to further and graver problems. The most important value of Microbiological testing is to identify the presence of these contaminants, treat them and prevent them from causing irreversible damages.
The industry of pharmaceutical is highly responsible in testing and developing medication. Testing under this industry should be done in the most rigorous and thorough manner, as this is where the high quality standards of medicines will be maintained. Pharmaceutical testing laboratories should be completely free of any germs and viruses, to make sure that the medication is fully sterile when clients get it.
The strict regulations for textile productions are for good causes and reasons. Textiles should not contain banned residues or chemicals. Quality control checking should be done before they will be released and made available for public's consumption and use.
The industry of healthcare relies a lot on this kind of testing. People who are battling and fighting for different kinds of illnesses and diseases find themselves visiting or lying in clinics or hospitals. Testing this kind of establishments regularly is necessary, as this is the most effective way to avoid and stop harmful germs from spreading and multiplying.
Water and food safety is necessary for everyone's health. Food testing can help manufacturers avoid producing and releasing contaminated beverages and food to consumers/customers. Harmful bacteria such as salmonella, listeria and E.Coli are tested regularly by Food And Drug Authority (FDA). Neglecting or ignoring food safety regulations and standards could prove fortune for restaurants, school cafeterias, hotels and food manufacturers. All businesses that sell and offer food are required to undergo health inspections, failure to do so, will put them in great financial consequences.
If you are thinking whether your business requires this kind of testing or not, the answer to that is yes, there is nothing to lose but actually more to gain if you let the experts perform testing. Testing will guarantee safety for anyone who gets close to your facility and for everyone who uses your products. Delaying the right safety measures is never a good idea at all, as it may cause your business big time.
There are many facilities and businesses you can hire for this kind of testing services, and calling them today for help is a must!

Q: Include problems using pygame I just started python, and more precisely pygame, and I found myself unable to do a very simple thing:
importing a file.
Here's the code:
Main file:
import pygame
from pygame.locals import *
from cTile import Tile

class App:
    def __init__(self):
        self._running = True
        self._display_surf = None
        self._image_surf = None
        self._x = 0
        self._y = 0
        self.tiles = []

    def on_init(self):
        pygame.init()
        self._display_surf = pygame.display.set_mode((350,350), pygame.HWSURFACE)
        self._running = True
        #self._image_surf = pygame.image.load("myimage.jpg").convert()
        self._image_surf = pygame.image.load("myimage.jpg").convert()
        self.tiles = [Tile(0,0,0,0),Tile(1,0,64,0),Tile(0,1,0,64),Tile(1,1,64,64)]
        m = open("map1.map",'r')
        r = m.read().split(",")
        for i in range(len(r)/4):
            self.tiles.append(Tile(int(r[i*4]),int(r[i*4+1]),int(r[i*4+2]),int(r[i*4+3])))
            i = i+3

    def on_event(self, event):
        if event.type == QUIT:
            self._running = False
        elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            self.key_event(event)

    def key_event(self,event):
        if event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
            self._y = self._y+16
        if event.key == pygame.K_UP:
            self._y = self._y-16
        if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
            self._x = self._x+16
        if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
            self._x = self._x-16
    def on_loop(self):
        pass
    def on_render(self):
        self._display_surf.fill((0, 0, 0))
        for tile in self.tiles:
            tile.render(self)
        self._display_surf.blit(self._image_surf,(self._x,self._y), pygame.Rect(0, 0, 16, 16) )
        pygame.display.flip()

    def on_cleanup(self):
        pygame.quit()

    def on_execute(self):
        if self.on_init() == False:
            self._running = False

        while( self._running ):

            for event in pygame.event.get():
                self.on_event(event)
            self.on_loop()
            self.on_render()
        self.on_cleanup()

if __name__ == "__main__" :
    theApp = App()
    theApp.on_execute()

The file I include:
class Tile:
    def __init__(self,_pidx,_pidy,_px,_py):
        self._image_surf = pygame.image.load("myimage.jpg").convert()
        self._idx = _pidx
        self._idy = _pidy
        self._x = _px
        self._y = _py
    def render(self,win):
        win._display_surf.blit(self._image_surf,(self._x,self._y), pygame.Rect(self._idx*16, self._idy*16, self._idx*16+16, self._idy*16+16) )

And finally the error I'm getting:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Morgan\Desktop\test.py", line 70, in <module>
    theApp.on_execute()
  File "C:\Users\Morgan\Desktop\test.py", line 57, in on_execute
    if self.on_init() == False:
  File "C:\Users\Morgan\Desktop\test.py", line 22, in on_init
    self.tiles = [Tile(0,0,0,0),Tile(1,0,64,0),Tile(0,1,0,64),Tile(1,1,64,64)]
  File "C:\Users\Morgan\Desktop\cTile.py", line 3, in __init__
    self._image_surf = pygame.image.load("myimage.jpg").convert()
NameError: global name 'pygame' is not defined

I'm learning the language right now. I tried to import pygame to my cTile.py file, and tried to use the pygame.init() right after, and still got the same error.
I though the import was doing the same thing an include would in php, but it is apparently not!
The code in itself may hurt anyone with little knowledge of python, but once again I started one hour ago and there are still many things that I have to fix up, the current main issue being this include I cannot fully understand! Thanks in advance for any help provided!
EDIT: When the code contained in cTile.py was just pasted above "Class App:" everything was running smoothly.

A: You need to import pygame in your cTile.py file. Modules don't inherit the modules their clients may (or may not) have imported.


The Wall Street Journal is reporting that some of the most widely used Android applications are putting users personal data at risk, based off of research conducted by computer security firm viaForensics.
According to the viaForensics report, Foursquare, Netflix, LinkedIn, and Square all store various forms of personal information in plain text form on a mobile device, leaving these data vulnerable should a hacker choose to target these servers.
LinkedIn, Netflix, and Foursquare all share the same fatal flaw: these applications store both your unencrypted username and password information on your Android device. WSJ points out that since many individuals use these same logins across a multitude of web services, computer criminals who access this information could potentially do much more damage than just on these services. Imagine if your Foursquare login or password is what you use to do online banking.
The good news is that all three companies are aware of the issue, and are currently hard at work on locking down your valuable personal information. Foursquare pushed out an update yesterday, while Netflix and LinkedIn should have an update shortly.
Though the fact that the affected companies are working on a fix, the fact that these security omissions are happening on the larger, corporate-developed applications has me more than a bit worried. If this could happen to these applications, what's to stop it from affecting the smaller applications where developers don't necessarily have the know-how to plug these security holes (or money to hire somebody to plug them)?
As always, we want to know what you guys think about all this. Sound off in the comments below.

Hey everyone! Thought I'd bring you a new way to earn online. I've used this and already gotten a $5 Amazon card. The really awesome thing about it is that you get the reward in a couple of days, rather than waiting a long time! It's super easy to earn, very similar to swagbucks.
Anyway, if you do sign up, there is a code for bonus instantbucks good until Sunday, the 15th of September. I'll try to remember to jump on here and keep adding them when I get em! Enjoy!!!
I like earning sites. My daughter is involved in several survey sites to earn gift cards, and we often use ebates on our purchases. I didn't know about this one. It's fun to earn rewards for surveys and shopping. It takes time but can be a very enjoyable experience.


The way you see yourself is often the way how you treat yourself and how you behave. If you think you are worth nothing and you are the scum of the earth there is a change that you will act like you are the scum of the earth.
But if you think that you are quite something. That you are smart, intelligent, creative and worth spending time with, than that is in most of the cases how you behave yourself. So the way you see yourself is very important, because it is the way that you will behave yourself.
An apple tree does not bear pears or oranges. An apple tree bears apples. If you want an apple tree to bear pears then you have a problem. You can try to change the outcome, but it is the root of the tree that decides what to hear.
The same goes for who you are. If you have a bad habit of getting extremely angry in some cases, you can try to change the fruit of your angriness, but a better way is to change the roots!
So start today with getting a better self-image!

How to protect yourself from Ebola

WASHINGTON (AFP) - West Africa is grappling with the largest outbreak of Ebola virus in history, and concerns are mounting that the hemorrhagic fever could spill across international borders.
Here is some advice from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on how people can protect themselves against Ebola.
Watch for symptoms
Symptoms of Ebola include fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, lack of appetite and in some cases bleeding.
"Transmission is through direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected person, or exposure to objects such as needles that have been contaminated with infected secretions," said Dr Stephan Monroe, deputy director of the CDC's National Centre for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
"Ebola is not contagious until symptoms appear."
The Ebola virus can be spread though mucus, semen, saliva, sweat, vomit, stool or blood.
Dr Monroe said it is "very unlikely" that Ebola would spread among passengers in a crowded space like a plane or train, since it requires direct contact with bodily secretions.
"Most people who become infected with Ebola are those who live with and care for people who have already got the disease and are showing symptoms."
Although the virus can be fatal as much as 90 per cent of the time, those who recover must exercise caution for nearly two months because they may be infectious.
"Men who have recovered from the disease can still transmit the virus through their semen for up to seven weeks after recovery from illness," said the WHO.
Avoid dead bodies
Ebola has also spread to people who came in contact with the bodies of people who died from the virus, such as during funeral preparations and burial ceremonies.
"People who have died from Ebola should be promptly and safely buried," said the WHO.
For health-care workers
Patients from areas where Ebola is active and who are showing these symptoms should be isolated from the general public, the CDC said.
Health-care workers should follow infection control precautions. They should wear face masks, gloves and long-sleeved gowns to shield themselves when treating patients.
The CDC also recommends routine handwashing before and after contact with any patient who has a fever, as well as safe handling and disposal of needles and syringes.
The incubation period for Ebola - meaning the time lapsing between infection and the onset of symptoms - is 21 days.
Avoid raw meat
Ebola gets into the human population after people come in close contact with the blood, organs or bodily fluids of infected animals. Fruit bats are Ebola's natural host.
"In Africa, infection has been documented through the handling of infected chimpanzees, gorillas, fruit bats, monkeys, forest antelope and porcupines found ill or dead or in the rainforest," said the WHO.
People should avoid eating or handling raw bushmeat.
If an outbreak is suspected on a pig or monkey farm, the WHO recommends immediate quarantine of the premises, followed by culling of the infected animals "with close supervision of burial or incineration of carcasses".
There is no animal or human vaccine against Ebola.
