Jun 2, 2020 Press Release
Ashley Hinson: Honored to be the Republican Nominee in Iowa First's Congressional District
Marion, IA – Ashley Hinson, Republican candidate for Congress in Iowa's 1st district, won the Republican Primary today. The campaign goes into the general election with nearly $1.1 Million Dollars Cash on Hand and the campaign infrastructure needed to win this race.
Here is a video statement from Ashley Hinson.
"I'm honored to be the Republican Nominee for Congress in Iowa's First Congressional District," said Hinson. "The election in November will be a clear choice. Do we want to get the government out of the way and give our workers the tools they need to get our economy roaring again, or do we want to pursue a liberal agenda of higher taxes and more regulations?"
Hinson continued, "I'm ready to tackle the issues that really matter to Iowa families — reforming our broken healthcare system, lowering the cost of prescription drugs, securing our border and putting money back in the pockets of hard working Iowans. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents are all invited to join my team. Together, we can send Iowa common sense to Washington."
Since launching her campaign, Ashley has established herself as one of the strongest House candidates in the country. Ashley was recently elevated to the highest tier of the 'Young Gun Program' by the National Republican Congressional Committee after establishing her clear path to victory. National political forecasters believe the 1st Congressional District will be one of the most competitive races in 2020. The Cook Political Report has rated IA-01 as "Toss Up".
Ashley has a record of winning tough elections. She won in 2016 in a swing district to help hold the Iowa House majority and outperformed the Republican ticket by 5-8 points across House District 67, the heart of IA-01. She won 9 of 13 precincts in House District 67 in spite of Democratic outside groups outspending Republican outside groups.
An Iowa native, Ashley is the first woman to represent Iowa's 67th House District, which covers Hiawatha, Robins, Cedar Rapids and Marion. Prior to serving in the Iowa House, Ashley was an award-winning reporter and anchor for KCRG-TV9 in Cedar Rapids. Ashley currently lives in Marion with her husband Matt and their two sons.

I was trained as a theoretical physicist and I have studied for some years the statistical mechanics of disordered systems, with a particular interest in spin-glasses, structural glasses and supercooled liquids. I have also been involved for a brief period in multi-agents modelling and econophysics.
In 2005 I began working on collective behaviour in biological systems, trying to adopt an interdisciplinary approach that uses methods from statistical physics to solve biological and ethological problems. In this second life of mine, I mainly work on collecting and analyzing empirical data about bird flocks and insect swarms, but we are currently also starting two new projects on stem cell collective motion and on malaria mosquitoes swarming. All this turned me from a theoretical physicist into an experimental biologist, with some consequences on my health. My principal collaborator in this line of research is Irene Giardina.
I belong to the Sapienza unit of the Institute for Complex Systems (ISC-CNR). I am also associated to the Department of Physics at the University Sapienza, Rome.
The basis of our overall methodology is linking the experimental data (observed behaviour) with the theories explaining the interactions rules governing large animal groups. This broad mandate requires an interdisciplinary approach ranging from field experiments, to computer vision, to statistical physics. In general, we have split our focus in two areas: i) experimental data gathering and processing; ii) data analysis and theory. Our experimental work is carried out in the natural habitat of the animal we are studying. We use multiple synchronized high speed cameras to capture image sequences of the aggregation. By using novel computer vision algorithm, we are then able to reconstruct the 3D trajectories of each individual in the group. Our data analysis follows a theoretical approach inspired by the principles of statistical physics.
To get a general idea of my work you can watch this Public Lecture I gave at the Institut Poincare', Paris, in February 2015.
Silent Flocks make the headlines: our new hydrodynamic theory of flocking has been published in Physical Review Letters and featured in the APS magazine Physics.
Here you can find a recent science popularization talk that I gave at TEDx-Napoli, about collective behaviour and the order-disorder transition.
Sadly, it's in italian; the jacket is great, though.
I am working on devising new methods to detect a growing static correlation length in deeply supercooled liquids. By using amorphuos boundary conditions we measured for the first time a thermodynamic correlation length. In so doing we test the validity of different theoretical frameworks of the glass transition, namely the Adam-Gibbs theory and the Mosaic (aka Random First Order) theory. We are also trying to measure the surface tension between different amorphous phases in deeply supercooled liquids and to establish a link between static relaxation and dynamic heterogeneities through the concept of surface tension. My coworkers on this topic are Paolo Verrocchio, Tomas Grigera, Chiara Cammarota, Giacomo Gradenigo, Giulio Biroli and Jean-Philippe Bouchaud.
Figure: amorphous excitations in a deeply supercooled liquid.
Read more about the growth of amorphous order in glass-forming liquids.
We recently calculated the specific heat in a system with amorphous boundary conditions, finding an intriguing peak. This work has been published in Physical Review Letters.
People in my group say I'm an jerk! Check this great video (mostly in italian) on how it is working with me.


Vladimir Putin has swept to a landslide victory to secure a fourth term as Russian President, keeping him in power for six more years.
In a widely expected win, Mr Putin secured more than 76.66% of the vote and a turnout of 67.47%, the Central Election Commission said.
The result came amid allegations of election violations, including ballot-box stuffing and forced voting.
Addressing a crowd near Moscow's Red Square, Mr Putin said his victory was a vote of confidence in his achievements.
"It's very important to maintain this unity," he said.
Mr Putin's campaign spokesman reportedly thanked the UK for the higher than expected turnout of around 60% following the diplomatic row over the Salisbury spy poisoning.
"Once again we were subject to pressure at just the moment when we needed to mobilise," Andrei Kondrashkov was reported to have said.
A mission from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, who observed the election, said there was a "lack of genuine competition" but said the Russia's Central Election Commission administered the process "efficiently and openly".
French far-right politician Marine Le Pen's National Front party has congratulated Mr Putin, hailing the election as a sign of Russia's "stability and democratic foundations".
The party also called on the European Union to "put an end to its absurd and counterproductive politics of blackmail, threats and sanctions" against Russia.
Mr Putin's nearest challenger, Communist Party candidate Pavel Grudinin, secured around 13% of the vote, according to partial results, while nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky received around 6%.
Mr Putin's most well-known opponent, anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny, was rejected as a candidate because he was convicted of fraud in a case widely regarded as politically motivated.
The vote was tainted by allegations of forced voting and election violations as footage released by a government opposition group appeared to show ballot boxes being stuffed.
The presidential election comes amid escalating tensions between Russia and the West, with Mr Putin addressing the Salisbury spy poisoning for the first time publicly as the results came in.
The UK has blamed the Kremlin for the nerve-agent poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury, prompting the expulsion of 23 Russian diplomats.
Meanwhile, the US has imposed sanctions on 19 Russians for alleged interference in the 2016 US presidential election.
There also been criticism from the West of Russia's military support for Syrian dictator Bashar al Assad.
The election took place on the fourth anniversary of Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea, which led to an array of US and European sanctions.
Mr Putin – who was first became President in December 1999 – did not run in 2008 because of term limits, but was appointed prime minister, a role in which he was widely seen as leader.
He announced weeks before the election that Russia has developed advanced nuclear weapons capable of evading missile defences.

Press Release: Internet Archive [October 16, 2020]
Detroit college library reopens online with help from Internet Archive
Detroit, MI. The collection of Detroit-based Marygrove College Library, comprising more than 70,000 books and journals, starts a new life online with the support of Internet Archive.
With the college closing in December 2019 , concerns arose about the future of the library's collection, which offers a uniquely African American perspective, reflecting the historical and cultural influences of its local community in Detroit. The importance of amplifying these voices led to the decision by the Board of Trustees to donate the full collection to Internet Archive , a non-profit library.
" We didn't want the majority of the volumes to end up in a landfill. By donating the materials to Internet Archive, we were able to preserve the entire collection that we had built over the decades and make it available to everyone," said Dr. Elizabeth Burns, Marygrove College President . " There was a sense that all was not lost. The legacy of the collection will be available for ongoing education. That really helped ease the pain of the transition."
"When I heard that the library was going to be digitized, I felt like it was going to be a stroke of genius, " said Valerie Deering, Marygrove College alumna Class of 1972. "That there was not going to be a book burning, that these books weren't going to end up at the Salvation Army where nobody really knew or understood or would appreciate what they've been to generations of students."
The collection is now available for free through Internet Archive's website and will also be preserved in its physical archives. Internet Archive hopes that making the collection available online will expand access for marginalized groups such as those with disabilities that affect reading.
"A library is much more than the books on the shelves�it is the center of a community," said Brewster Kahle, Internet Archive's founder and digital librarian. "It reflects a history of a hundred years of interests and passions and collections that have been built by librarians, faculty and students. Having that collection all online brings that community online, but also allows that artifact to be used by people all over the world. That is the idea of this next generation of Marygrove College Library."
Still, the security of the collection is not guaranteed. Internet Archive is facing a legal challenge which, if successful, would mean that libraries are no longer able to own and lend digital books, or digitize physical books for archival purposes. Access to the Marygrove collection would be restricted and its preservation threatened.
The release of the collection will be announced on October 20 at the ongoing Library Leaders Forum , a three-week virtual summit for the library community. The event marks the beginning of the #EmpoweringLibraries campaign , which aims to protect the key role of libraries in democratic society.
" I hope that those who view our collection will not only find the information they seek, but will also witness and appreciate the College mission to promote social justice through activism," said Mary Kickham-Samy, library director.
About the Internet Archive
Internet Archive is a 501(c)(3) non-profit library that offers free access to valuable cultural artifacts. Founded in 1996, it hosts millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites, and more.
About Marygrove College
Marygrove College was a tertiary educational institution in Detroit founded in 1905. It announced its closure on December 17, 2019, but its legacy is preserved by nearly 44,000 alumni.
The collection of Detroit-based Marygrove College Library, comprising more than 70,000 books and journals, starts a new life online with the support of Internet Archive.

The Ledger continues commitment to diversity
Leon Tucker
For nearly 100 years, The Ledger has been the most comprehensive news source for Polk County.
These days, the county boasts about 700,000 people and a richly diverse population, and we are committed to building and sustaining a workforce that is reflective of that diversity.
As part of our commitment to an inclusive culture, we are annually publishing the makeup of our newsroom staff. That same commitment is being carried out across the USA TODAY Network, which is made up of more than 200 local publications and USA TODAY.
This information, a snapshot as of July 1, 2022, includes the gender and racial makeup of our news workforce and our coverage area, as well as for managers within our newsroom.
The American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau asks two separate questions, one about Hispanic origin and one about race, allowing individuals to self-select from multiple options. However, to compare with internal Gannett employee information that asks individuals to mark only one option, we used the following categories: Hispanic or Latino (for ACS, regardless of any other race selected), White (not Hispanic or Latino), Black or African American (not Hispanic or Latino), Asian (not Hispanic or Latino), American Indian or Alaska Native (not Hispanic or Latino), Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander (not Hispanic or Latino), or two or more races (not Hispanic or Latino). All information on racial identity is provided voluntarily by employees. (Gannett also allows an individual to not disclose their race or ethnicity.)
A diverse and inclusive workforce helps us better connect and serve you, our readers and our community partners. For example, we continue to look at the impact growth and development is having on our communities of color. And in the months since Gannett and The Ledger has taken a different approach to covering crime and public safety, readers have seem less "mugshot journalism." The stories more often go beyond the practice of running crime photos but get to the heart of public safety and the impact it has on a community.
Recently:Change is coming: The Ledger to revamp opinion offerings, approach to content delivery
During my tenure as executive editor over the past year, I have taken advantage of opportunities to connect with community and civic groups to share our approach to providing diverse coverage to the areas we serve and the reasons as to why it is important to do so.
That said, as staff transitions continue to occur we will always try to keep the value of diversity in staffing and news coverage top of mind as we move forward.
We still have a long way to go. Much work needs to be done to achieve unquestionable success in these areas and we thank our readers for sticking with us as we continue our push in that direction.

Brook Lopez Bio, Wife, Brother, Parents, Height, Age, Weight, Salary
With a 10-year professional basketball career behind him, veteran NBA center Brook Lopez joined the Milwaukee Bucks in July 2018. A first round 2008 draftee, the NBA star spent the greater portion of his long-running career with the Brooklyn Nets where he consistently delivered some impressive stats and among other highlights was named for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game. Lopez also had a one-year stint with the Los Angeles Lakers which ended after the 2017-18 season.

Brook Lopez Bio, Age
Brook Robert Lopez was born in North Hollywood, Los Angeles on April 1, 1988, just one minute earlier than his identical twin, Robin. His family later moved to Fresno, California where he spent most of his childhood and adolescence. Robert schooled at San Joaquin Memorial High School and he was a member of the school's basketball team alongside his twin brother. Among other highlights of their high school career, the talented duo both featured in the 2006 McDonald's All-American Boys Game.
In 2005, Lopez and his twin both committed to play college basketball at Stanford University. He averaged 12.6 points and 6.0 rebounds per game over 26 total appearances in his first season with the Stanford Cardinal men's basketball team, a performance which earned him an All-Pac-10 Freshman Team selection. The talented player had an even better sophomore season during which he averaged 19.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.1 blocks per game and was named to the All-Pac-10 First Team and the All-American Third Team.
Lopez declared for the NBA Draft in March 2008, giving up his final 2 years of collegiate eligibility. He was selected by the then-New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn Nets) as the 10th overall pick of the 2008 NBA Draft.
Lopez earned regular playing time during his first season with the New Jersey Nets featuring in all 82 games and finishing the season with 13.0 points, 8.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. He earned an All-Rookie first team selection and finished third in the NBA Rookie of the Year voting.
Lopez retained his role as the Nets' No.1 center as he featured in all 82 regular season games in each of the two seasons that followed his rookie season. His individual performance equally improved over the two seasons even though the team's overall performance waned.
The NBA star's smooth run with the Nets got derailed when he incurred an injury prior to the 2011–2012 regular season. He missed the first 32 games of the season before returning to action on February 19, 2012. He incurred yet another injury after only 5 appearances which had him sidelined for the rest of the season.
Lopez returned in top form for the 2012-13 season after signing a 4-year contract extension with the Brooklyn Nets in July 2012. He featured in 79 games and finished the season with 19.4 points, 6.9 rebounds and a career-high 2.1 blocks per game. The talented player was named for the 2013 NBA All-Star Game as a replacement for point guard who was out with an injury.
Lopez's 2013-14 season was shortened by an injury, however, he returned in top form the season after that. He signed a 3-year contract extension with the Nets in July 2015 and was billed to remain with the team till 2018. He remained in top form throughout his long stint with the Nets until June 2017 when he was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers in a multi-player deal. The NBA vet's one-season stint with the Lakers was rather unfavorable as his scoring average dipped to 13.0 points per game. He joined the Milwaukee Bucks in July 2018.
Salary: How Much Does He Earn?
Brook Lopez was ranked among the top 100 World's Highest-Paid Athletes of 2018 by Forbes magazine, having amassed as much as $23.1 million in the period under review. This sum is even expected to get higher, thanks to Lopez's one year contract with the Milwaukee Bucks which will have him receive a $3,382,000 salary for the 2018-19 season.
Parents, Brother
Brook Lopez was raised by his mother Deborah Ledford who worked as a high school Mathematics teacher. Ledford was a competitive swimmer in her prime and just like her son, she attended Stanford University. His father, Heriberto Lopez is known to be a Cuban native. There is not much information known about him as he is estranged from the family.
In addition to his twin brother Robin, Brook Lopez also has two older brothers, Chris and Alex. Brook's basketball career has been very much similar to that of his twin brother as the duo played together right from childhood up till their college career. They also entered the NBA Draft together in 2008, were both picked in the first round and they also play in the same center position.
Robin Lopez played for the Phoenix Suns, the New Orleans Hornets, the Portland Trail Blazers and the New York Knicks before joining the Chicago Bulls in 2016. Just like his famous younger brothers, Alex Lopez played college basketball at the University of Washington after which he played professionally in Asia and Europe.
Wife, Girlfriend
From the information available on Brook Lopez, it seems like the NBA star is currently unmarried. He has enjoyed a fair share of the spotlight from the start of his professional career, however, he has managed to keep this aspect of his private life off the media. Lopez may be dating someone at the moment but the identity of his significant other has been kept under wraps.
At an imposing height of 7 feet (213 cm) and a body weight of 122 kg (268 lbs), Brook Lopez is a perfect fit for the center position. Though his athleticism has declined with age, the veteran center has remained relevant for his dynamic offensive capabilities.

Mahesh says I didn't come as your friend, but your doctor, you missed appointments, Khanna told me that you got attacks twice, come with me for tests. Shivaansh says its Shivani's Sangeet, I don't have time, I can't go anywhere until marriage functions end. Mahesh says that's the sad part, you don't have enough time. Khanna cries.

Shivaansh asks what.
Varun asks did the safe open. Chachi says no, its not easy, I had tried to open it but couldn't, the safe isn't opening, we need a CT scan and fingerprint to open it. Varun says no, eye scan, but whose. She says you have to find out about it. He says Shivaansh isn't letting me do anything, I have to find out whose fingerprints and eye scan he has used for this. He hears Nani talking to Mannat. Nani asks Mannat to get Shivani's jewellery from cupboard. She says Shivaansh has put high tech security, safe can't get unlocked without Radhika, so I have kept petty things in my cupboard. Mannat goes. Varun says how did I forget this, Radhika is close to Shivaansh, it means she is the password of safe, I have to read the will and then change the safe, I have to take Radhika to the safe, that means I have to kidnap Radhika.

I managed to lose 98lbs in 2011/12 on the Atkins diet - but over the last 6 years, it's all crept back on.
Last year I had cancer - malignant melanoma - which was cut out - hopefully it won't return! I now have atrial fibrillation - fast, irregular heart rate - had a catheter ablation for that earlier in the year.
The scary bit is that I have to come off blood thinners for the operation and that puts me at extremely high risk of a stroke!
If there is anyone in the UK or London who is on this journey and would like to make contact for support - please please contact me!

Q: Maximum number of keys for an AzureAD app registration Is there a maximum number of keys that you can create for an azure activedirectory app registration? I am getting an error creating the 41st key.  Can this be changed?

A: As far as I know there is no way to raise such limits, though you can try contacting support.
An alternative approach that would work is creating an Application + Service Principal for each deployment vs. creating a key for each deployment.
You can then still disable an individual deployment by deleting the app's key.
You can automate the creation of the app + SP + any required permission assignments through Azure AD Powershell or Azure Graph API/MS Graph API.

What does WordPress use Cookies for
Patrick McCoy
Facebook	Twitter	Pinterest	LinkedIn	Reddit
So you have created a website, and you have heard that it's law to have a cookie policy on your website, but you are wondering, what is a cookie? We will dive into cookies and how they work.
What does WordPress use cookies for? WordPress cookies come in three different types: plugins, session and comment cookies. Each of these different cookies will store different amounts of information on the visitor of the website. Because of the law that was passed recently, anyone taking cookie information from EU should have a cookie policy in place. Cookies are nothing more than information and if you handle it correctly, you will be fine.
So if you have some cookie questions then get ready because I will do my best to go over all the information involving cookies, what they are and how they work. We will also talk about GDPR, but I will not dive into it for legal reasons, it's best to consult lawyers in your part of the world.
Cookies get a bad name for people's security and privacy concerns that come up. A cookie is nothing more than a piece of information that tracks things like shopping carts, login information and typical things that involve your use with the website.
When GDPR was passed in the European Union, it put a spotlight on cookies and since then there have been several things that website has to do to be compliant. Cookies by themselves are harmless, when they are used incorrectly or information is sold then you can run into problems.
A cookie is something that sits on your computer and records certain types of information as you interact with websites. Almost every website on the planet uses cookies and you have complete control over them. We will talk more about controlling your cookies later on.
What cookies does WordPress use
Because WordPress can be used as a website, membership form, and everything else you can think of; it has several cookies it uses. Most of these cookies as I stated above are harmless, and they are just tracking very basic information.
The easiest way to talk about WordPress cookies is to break them down into three categories, which better explains how the cookies are used and what they do.
These are cookies that serve one purpose to capture information is for the website you are on. This could be things like maybe your current login information. It could be things like analytics or even something as simple as basic information which the website captures from you inputting something.
The great thing about session cookies is as soon as you leave a website these cookies disappear. They have a limited time for them to stay alive, and after that it removes the cookie until you visit again. There is nothing that you need to do on your part to get rid of a session cookie other than just exit the website you are on.
Comment Cookies
These are cookies which keep track of logins and comments that you make on websites. They often will contain things like links to website you use and anything else you input on the website itself. The more information you enter, the more information a comment cookie will have.
Plugin Cookies
Because WordPress allows any plugin to be installed on your website, certain plugins will capture information from a user depending on the type of plugin you are using. Not all plugins use cookies, but you will find that most have some kind of cookie that is needed for the plugin to work.
The best way to protect yourself from this is to learn what plugins use what cookies and see what their specific user policy is with cookies. Some plugins will detect the type of cookies you are using by looking at what plugins you have installed and then including them in your policy.
Not so long ago, it was never a requirement to have something like a cookie consent law, and then the EU got very serious about protection of its people's privacy. I am not here to argue about what you should or should not do.
Sometimes the easier path is the one of less resistance, and in this case adding a cookie consent pop-up is easy enough. Most page builders can already build these pop-ups, which warn users you use cookies which can then point to your cookie policy.
Depending on your location and the people you serve on your website, you might not even need a cookie consent policy, but it's best to allow a lawyer to make sure you are following the law. Otherwise you could find yourself on the edge of the law with not having one or doing something that the visitor never agreed to.
In other words, don't sell people's information plain and simple. And don't use plugins which steal and sell people's information.
Creating a cookie policy
If you are struggling with figuring out what to put in your cookie policy, then you are in luck. There are several paid and free resources that will help you make a cookie policy. Unlike a privacy policy which is built in to WordPress, they did not include a cookie policy which should be another mandatory document that you need.
If you are looking for a good resource, I would recommend something like the following:
https://www.cookiepolicygenerator.com/
Keep in mind that free cookie policies will lack all the details of your website so you might leave something out. Therefore, we often recommend talking to a lawyer in your area if you want to stay safe and legal.
You could also try the following but to unlock some of the premium policy features you will need to pay for premium:
https://www.privacypolicies.com/
Creating a cookie pop-up
For those people unsure of how to create a cookie pop-up, you need nothing more than a line or two of text with a button that says the person accepts or declines the cookie. Some people will give a choice while other companies just force you to hit okay.
If you want an in-depth look at how to create a cookie pop up, then you might want to check out a few of our articles which cover this. We also have a few videos are on our channel that also show you how to create a pop-up using certain page builders.
How to build a pop-up using Brizy
How to create a pop-up using Oxygen Modal
How to make a Brizy Pop-up
Keep in mind that you will need a page builder or something like it to create a cookie pop-up. Some themes like OceanWP will also give you the option with premium cookie notice.
Cookie Plugins
If you would rather try to use something like a plugin to display your cookie notice, then you can do that too. WordPress has several plugins which you can use but I am including the best two on this list.
Cookie Law Info
The first one is free and does not require or even have a paid option. The second has a paid option that expands on the ability to create complete cookie policies for your website.
Either of these two plugins would help you for your cookie policy.
How to disable cookies
WordPress comes ready-to-use cookies without you doing anything. While there are a few ways to remove cookies, we will talk about two very specific ways that you can see who is tracking you and why.
If you are going to a website, the first and easiest way to see if a website uses cookies is to click the lock icon next to the WordPress. You will see that in the list there is called cookies. Click this and it will show you what the website is using cookies for.
You can also block certain cookies from this list by clicking Block or Remove. If you just remove the cookie, then the next time you come back, that cookie will still come up. If you block the cookie, then it will never come up if you visit that website again.
If you want to learn how to remove cookies from your browser, then read below.
Remove Cookies from Browsers
Turning off cookies in a browser is one method of getting rid of them, but you still need to remove them. Removing a cookie requires different things for different browsers.
Most of the time, if you want to remove a cookie, then you go into your settings and look for something called Clear Browsing History. This can be called different things depending on the type of browser you use but they all work the same way. Click or check the box that says cookies and other site data. Then click okay and this will remove these cookies from your computer.
Note this will remove your login information for websites that are using cookies to track this info. So make sure you are using something like a password manager or other system to keep your info safe.
Do I have to use cookies? You don't have to. They have plugins that will completely turn off cookies, but to be fair cookies are harmless in 99% of cases. So you should not worry about them, especially with the new rules for GDPR.
Do I have to use a lawyer for my cookie policy? No, you don't have to but it would help you with your local laws to get feedback on what is required with your website. If you don't run a huge business, then I doubt it will matter much, but if you do a lot of online sales, I would consider paying someone.
I hope this has helped you understand different options with cookies. Cookies are not something you should be sacred of.

Die Präriewühlmaus (Microtus ochrogaster, auch "Präriemaus") ist eine nordamerikanische Wühlmaus. Ungewöhnlich für Wühlmäuse zeigen sie ein monogames Sozialleben, an dessen Zusammenhang mit einer starken Ausschüttung des Hormons Oxytocin geforscht wird.

Merkmale
Die Präriewühlmaus ist eine dunkle, bräunliche oder schwärzliche Feldmaus. Unterseits ist sie gelbbraun gefärbt. Ihr Schwanz ist kürzer als die doppelte Hinterfußlänge. Dorsal verläuft auf dem blass gelblichbraunen Schwanz ein dünner, etwas dunklerer Streifen. Die schmalen Ohren verschwinden fast gänzlich im langen, lockeren Fell. An den Sohlen der Füße befinden sich lediglich fünf Tuberkel. Die Präriewühlmaus erreicht eine Gesamtlänge von 146 mm, eine Schwanzlänge von 34 mm und eine Hinterfußlänge von 20 mm. Sie wiegt 30 bis 50 g.

Verbreitung
Das Verbreitungsgebiet der Präriewühlmaus erstreckt sich über die Präriestaaten der Vereinigten Staaten (östlich-zentrales Alberta, zentrales Saskatchewan und südliches  Manitoba im Süden, durch das nördliche Oklahoma und Arkansas und östlich nach Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, zentrales Tennessee und das ganze westliche Virginia) nach Norden bis in die südlich-zentralen Provinzen Kanadas. Reliktpopulationen kommen im zentralen Colorado und im nördlichen New Mexico vor, früher auch im südwestlichen Louisiana und im angrenzenden Texas. Die disjunkt verbreitete Unterart Microtus ochrogaster ludovicianus die früher im Osten von Texas und im westlichen Louisiana vorkam ist offenbar ausgestorben.

Lebensraum und Lebensweise
Präriewühlmäuse kommen in einer Vielzahl Prärie Habitate sowie in landwirtschaftlich genutztem Hochland vor. Sie bewohnen Grasland, krautige Felder, alte landwirtschaftliche Flächen und Strauchland, also geeignete Untergründe an denen sie ihre Gangsysteme anlegen können. Auch von Beständen in Banks-Kiefer Wäldern wurde berichtet, daneben Vorkommen in Wiesen-Rispengras Flächen in Kansas, Artemisia Beständen in Wyoming und Schwingel Knäuelgräser Grasland in Indiana. Flussauen dienen im Südwesten der Vereinigten Staaten dabei als Ausbreitungswege, Schienen- und Schnellstraßen streuen die Ausbreitung in den Verbreitungsgebieten.

Präriewühlmäuse sind ganztägig, am Tag und in der Nacht aktiv, hauptsächlich in der Morgen- und Abenddämmerung. Im Sommer nimmt die Tagesaktivität ab, im Winter die Nachtaktivität. Ihre Nahrung besteht aus Gräsern und krautigen, nicht grasartigen Pflanzen sowie einigen Insekten. Sie scheinen Vorräte für den Winter anzulegen, es wurden in den Winterkammern der Baue ansehnliche Mengen an Knollen, Wurzeln und kleinen Zwiebeln gefunden. Präriewühlmäuse sind andererseits wichtige Beutetiere für viele Räuber.

Die Baue mit Kammern und Seitenkanälen sind recht flach, aber auffallend komplex. Die Nester werden im Bau, unter Baumstämmen oder oberirdisch in Grasbüscheln angelegt, Winternester auch in alten Ameisenhaufen. Junge werden das ganze Jahr über aufgezogen, insbesondere im Frühjahr und Herbst. Die Trächtigkeit dauert 20 bis 23 Tage. Der Wurf besteht aus ein bis sieben, durchschnittlich drei bis vier Jungen um die sich beide Elternteile und manchmal auch ältere Geschwister kümmern. Die Jungen sind in der Regel nach etwa fünf bis sechs Wochen geschlechtsreif.

Bei den Präriewühlmäusen kommen drei Arten von sozialen Gruppen vor. Sie leben hauptsächlich als monogame Paare, als einzelne Weibchen oder in Gemeinschaften von zwei bis 21 Individuen, meist wegen der höheren Überlebensrate philopatrischer Jungtiere im späten Herbst, aber auch durch nicht verwandte Tiere, die sich Paaren anschließen. Die Lebenserwartung beträgt im Allgemeinen ein Jahr oder weniger.

The Newcastle Fertility Centre at Life, part of Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, has made an IVF breakthrough that increases the chances of pregnancy by at least 27 per cent.
Doctors have developed a laboratory that mimics conditions found inside a womb. Keeping conditions similar to those inside a woman's body reduces the risk to embryos when undergoing checks outside of an incubator - where any change in temperature and air quality can be harmful.
The Newcastle Fertility Centre at Life released its three-year study to the media showing a minimum 27 per cent increase in clinical pregnancy rates compared with the old method. The results of the study were also published in the online journal Public Library of Science One. The centre made available for comment two of its professors, Mary Herbert and Alison Murdoch. It stressed that many women have to go through multiple courses of IVF treatments without success. The in-house team also pointed out the new technology will reduce not only the financial implications of IVF treatment but also the emotional turmoil of repeatedly failing to become pregnant.
The story was covered widely by national newspapers including the Daily Mail and The Daily Telegraph. American news channel Fox News covered the new treatments as well as the San Francisco Chronicle and Los Angeles Times.
45% - Chance of success compared with a 35 per cent success rate under the old system*.


What do we do when we run into trouble as we go about living life? For many the answer is prayer. This is what the Psalmist did in the passages above. However, the question needs to be asked, "are we turning to prayer when we run into trouble in the middle of seeking to live fully for God or in the middle of living for ourselves?" God does want to take care of us but he is able to care for us best when we are operating in the sphere of his plans and purposes rather than those of our own. And so God's plans and purposes begin with getting us established in a life that seeks to live fully for him. This redirection begins with receiving the "forgiveness of sins" offered through Jesus Christ. The "forgiveness of sins" brings about God's indwelling presence in our lives which puts us on the path of being able to live fully for him. So, prayer is something we do when we run into trouble, but it should be the trouble we run into as we seek to live fully for God. This distinction is a good beginning for this week's devotions as we seek to go deeper and further in our pursuit of "Getting Prayer Right."
Lord, you know how much we really want to get prayer right. Help us to make great strides this week in getting it right. Please reveal where we really are with this beginning consideration. Show us the distinction being made in today's devotion more clearly than ever before. Reveal to us the actual commitment we have to living fully for you. Grant that our surrender to you be more full and complete than ever before. Finally, give us a time in prayer with you today where our experience of giving our burdens to you and having you take care of us takes on a whole new level of what it means to be before you in prayer.

This is the first of six reviews I'm doing thanks to FPN member "Alecgold." In December of last year, he decided to give away the majority of his fountain pen ink collection to people willing to review them on FPN. I offered, he accepted, and he sent me 6 bottles of ink. I got the box in February 2011, but I was unable to do the reviews until now, so here we go.
The Parker Penman line of inks has long since been discontinued. It was one of the first ink lines to develop and distribute highly saturated inks. There were, unfortunately, a few issues with the inks. When they were allowed to dry in a pen they created nasty clogs and strained everything. Apparently, the water component of the inks was more apt to evaporate leaving behind the concentrated dyes. Enough pens were clogged/stained that Parker decided to discontinue the line rather than continue to pay for the repairs or reformulate the inks. As the years have gone by, the Penman inks have become the stuff of legends. They are highly coveted and, although they do come on the market from time to time, they are very pricey. This is especially true for the most sought after Penman ink, Sapphire.
When Alec offered to send me a Penman ink I was enthralled. I'd always wanted to try the ink, but I was never able to get a bottle. This was not for want of trying. I was just always a day late and a dollar short so to speak. As a matter of fact, I'd still very much like to try some of the other Penman inks (especially Emerald and Sapphire). Hopefully I can someday.
The color of Penman Ruby is only marginally similar to that of the gem. It comes off as a burgundy color more than anything else. It is very appealing to my eye. If you are wanting a current production ink that is similar to Penman Ruby, the closest I've seen is Diamine Syrah (another excellent ink).
The shading is PHENOMENAL! Apart of the color, this is the most appealing characteristic is of the ink for me.
Unfortunately, it is not water-resistant.
Although this ink is highly saturated, it is no more so than some of our current production ink lines like Private Reserve and Noodler's Ink.
Alec review 1/6. No Affil.

Most Physical Security Industry blogs make a case for why other industries need Physical Security, but the future of the physical security industry relies on adapting to process improvement methods if it wants to stay relevant and develop a third eye that looks inward to improving business processes and harnessing the concepts of Continuous Improvement.
Successful businesses use Business Process Mapping (BPM) tools to visualise, document, communicate, analyse, improve, simulate and execute both their operations and a cost optimised workflow.
At times, they hire consultants to create a BPM model for the internal use of their executives so the management team can collaborate to build an optimised process map which eventually defines the DNA of the organisation.
The physical security industry would gain much from understanding workflow and process mapping because it makes it easier for the industry to understand the cause and effect of any introduced process or technology on operational effectiveness.
It also helps to mesh these benefits into over-arching corporate objectives and goals. Process mapping is an opportunity to understand current practices and then develop more effective business operations and management practices in the future.
Consultants have a major role to play in the visual mapping of core business activities. A consultant's analysis of what happens against what is supposed to happen operationally when proposing changes, additions or integrations, would go a long way to determining the positive or negative impact on the company's commercial results.
When delivering a tailor made specification to an organisation, consultants would be able to present their ideas and suggestions on technology upgrades or integration and even prove the efficacy of their suggestions by simulating the workflow and staffing requirements, thus enabling management to visualise the process and quantify its effect on the bottom line.
The facility management industry is forced to work within product driven silos, delivering manpower, technology, installation and services to meet customer needs and would do better if they mapped and understood the impact of technology or manpower recommendations on their current operational work flow. A technology shopping list in specifications which include proprietary product families, integration with other non physical security systems and functions that are, sometimes, a paradigm shift to the status quo, would require some modelling analysis to ensure it would reach a cost effective equilibrium.
This article will introduce Business Process Management as a useful and effective tool to analyse workflows in system integration scenarios.
(Figure 1. Tasks with a + are sub processes that flesh out each step). The workflow overview map separates technology as distinct from the human aspects in a typical legacy operational environment.
Step-1: we are dealing with human beings who need to be given well thought out priorities and processes to perform at their best, so risks are minimised and/or mitigated, cost effectively.
Step-2: we need to reduce the impact of product driving operations (operators tend to be trained on a particular system – and find it difficult to operate on a different system even though the principles of security operations remain the same). The only way to remedy the situation is to understand the workflow required to best deal with the security and safety scenarios and then introduce the technology to follow the plan. By documenting and sticking to a suitable event, action and response process, setup and programming of the system will operate in sync with the agreed operational plan.
Step-3: make it easy to improve a workflow process by being able to model changes before implementing them so as not to disrupt existing workflow (i.e. requirement for re-training).
2. It allocates who is doing what in pools/lanes identifying departments that are given the responsibility to perform that function.
4. It identifies dependencies, either in the decision tree or in the activity process that must be completed before the process moves ahead, thereby overcoming 'holes' in the process.
5. It clearly shows when one process ends and the other process begins.
6. It can be used to simulate, flow, costs and to optimise and test out different operational scenarios.
What happens when existing technology (legacy) systems are upgraded or integrated with new technology driven functions? Such as adding CCTV to Intruder, Access Control, fire or BMS – etc?
The BPM (Figure-3) maps the functionality of two coupled environments – the technology (hardware) and the human.
Where the technology has been enhanced with logic to automatically perform some of the basic functions which were done by the 'humans' in times gone by but are now automated by firmware at the edge, we need to accept that categorising this technology functional area and giving it an identity is just as important as placing an operator (to perform a specific process/task) into the system. For example – to prevent false alarms reaching the human operator, clever logic is used to filter out the noise and deliver a credible alert/alarm/event message to the command and control centre (like a trained operator who knows what to respond to and what to ignore).
As automation becomes common place in a big data environment where there is tremendous growth in the application of sensors of many kinds, SMART analysis technology is increasingly used to provide early intervention to detect and correct common issues. These automated sub- processes need to be embedded in our process map so we can recognise them as required tasks that help improve the overall efficacy of the solution. We need to identify these automated processes embedded into the hardware or software, as distinct process/task/sub processes that need to be included in our business process mapping.
1. Calls to ditch the current supplier/product because it did not perform and go for some other brand!
1. Was the process adequate to respond to the event/alarm and capture/respond in a manner that helped mitigate the risk?
2. What was the weakness in the process?
3. How could the process be modified to deliver the outcomes required if this event/alarm occurred again?
It is not the technology but the process which determines if the desired outcomes are deliverable. After the process is established, technology to aid the process should be evaluated so that it facilitates the outcomes.
In a legacy environment where independent technologies were the norm and operators were required to jump from one user interface to the other – because the technology required it – the workflow did not matter whether the operator has to go through multiple control points (like keyboards and monitors) to determine if the event/alarm actually was of concern. The true cost of this kind of an operation, in human and financial terms could never be estimated because there were no tools to simulate the exercise and map the workflow.
1. Reduce the number of interfaces that an operator has to get to confirm the threat?
2. Increase the number of ways an event/alarm is detected and delivered to the operator for an assessment and final decision?
3. Improve the repository and access to relevant information from all the subsystems (technology) deployed in essence to get a multifaceted perspective on the event/alarm or in short, create better situational awareness?
Throughout the business process mapping exercise, values are attributed to an element and every time the process has to use this element – it accrues a cost. In the simulation of the process (and one can take different paths that relate to choices or decision to check what each path costs) if a process ends up being repeated or stopped for a missing decision the consequences are both operational (time exit – use timed events to escalate or pass a halted process to another process) and the accrued cost results in an estimate of what it would cost not having the resource at that process point.
When considering a Business Process Mapping exercise, consider a good software tool as a starting point. Develop the workflow that best mimics the business process currently in place. Define the new Workflow based on what is required to be achieved in terms of operational speed and cost outcomes then define the technology which will assist the process.
This means that one needs to leave the technology choices towards the end so it is possible to establish what functional technology elements or configuration would suit the mapped process. Which means the technology should work in line with the BPM process not vice versa! Data (triggers from sensors) is not actionable information so this must be passed through sub-processes (i.e. appropriate logic filters set out in the business process mapping exercise delivered by configurable and programmable devices) to determine what would best help improve situation awareness, credible alarm/alerts and the responses most appropriate to comply with the goals and objectives of the organisation.

Dysregulation of Protein Kinase Gene Expression in NK Cells from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Patients
Anu Chacko, Donald R. Staines, Samantha C. Johnston and Sonya M. Marshall-Gradisnik
Gene Regulation and Systems Biology 2016:10 85-93
DOI: 10.4137/GRSB.S40036
The etiology and pathomechanism of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME) are unknown. However, natural killer (NK) cell dysfunction, in particular reduced NK cytotoxic activity, is a consistent finding in CFS/ME patients. Previous research has reported significant changes in intracellular mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways from isolated NK cells. The purpose of this present investigation was to examine whether protein kinase genes have a role in abnormal NK cell intracellular signaling in CFS/ME.
Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of 528 protein kinase genes in isolated NK cells was analyzed (nCounter GX Human Kinase Kit v2 (XT); NanoString Technologies) from moderate (n = 11; age, 54.9 ± 10.3 years) and severe (n = 12; age, 47.5 ± 8.0 years) CFS/ME patients (classified by the 2011 International Consensus Criteria) and nonfatigued controls (n = 11; age, 50.0 ± 12.3 years).
The expression of 92 protein kinase genes was significantly different in the severe CFS/ME group compared with nonfatigued controls. Among these, 37 genes were significantly upregulated and 55 genes were significantly downregulated in severe CFS/ME patients compared with nonfatigued controls.
In severe CFS/ME patients, dysfunction in protein kinase genes may contribute to impairments in NK cell intracellular signaling and effector function. Similar changes in protein kinase genes may be present in other cells, potentially contributing to the pathomechanism of this illness.

WHERE MSGowner = 'ABC'
AND Data LIKE '%ABCDEF%'
AND
(
   ([From] = 'Customer'  AND [To] = 'CSservice') OR

ORDER by Date

A: Your query was basically correct. But you have to consider that the and connection is "stronger" than the or. To get to your desired output you need to set brackets.
Try this:
SELECT Date, [From], [To], Data
FROM Ccustomers WITH (NoLock)
WHERE MSGowner = 'ABC'
AND Data LIKE '%ABCDEF%'
AND (([From] = 'Customer'  AND [To] = 'CSservice') OR ([From] = 'CSservice' AND [To] = 'Customer'))
ORDER BY Date;
