PITTSBURGH —
Credit agencies have access to most intimate details of your personal finances.
A Pittsburgh-area man is blaming one of them for a case of identity theft.

Pittsburgh woman says credit bureau declared her dead
The company is Experian, one of three major credit agencies with access to the personal finances of millions of Americans.
Experian is the company behind websites like CreditReport.com and FreeCreditReport.com. The company says it is dedicated to preventing identity theft.
But complaints about how Experian protects your personal information are coming from consumers and even from U.S. senators.
Dominick Gambino, of McCandless, was balancing his checkbook when he saw multiple debit card charges for $19.95 from Experian.
That's the company's fee for regular credit checks through its CreditReport.com site. But Gambino says he never ordered a credit report. He'd never even been to the website.
"I closed that card out and got a whole new debit card. And what happens? It happens again. Same company, same charges," Gambino said.
When Gambino called Experian, they told him someone named "Jamie T" used his card to order credit reports. Gambino wonders how Experian could have allowed that to happen.
"My name is Dominick Gambino. That is a far cry from Jamie T," he said.
In a statement, an Experian spokesperson says, "CreditReport.com is committed to protecting our customer's personal information and uses rigorous identity verification systems. We can confirm that a valid card verification value was provided when the customer's account was created. The account in question was cancelled at the customer's request and we've blocked the number for transactions on the CreditReport.com website."
That did not satisfy Gambino.
"A company like Experian who's in the business of trying to prevent fraud happens to be a main portal that opened up my banking account to someone who violated it at least three times," he said.
This is not the first time people have complained about unauthorized charges from Experian. Two years ago the Better Business Bureau put out an alert after hundreds of people said Experian charged them for credit reports they never ordered.
A local district attorney in California even started an investigation into similar unauthorized charges that he said is still ongoing.
More recently, Experian came under fire following the indictment of a Vietnamese man charged with stealing personal financial information from more than 500,000 Americans, including names, addresses, Social Security numbers and bank account numbers.
The man bought the personal data from a company owned by Experian, according to the indictment.
At a hearing last month, Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., questioned a top Experian official about the incident.
"The Secret Service came to us, told us of the incident, and we immediately began cooperating with the Secret Service to bring this person to justice," said Experian Senior Vice President Tony Hadley.

Home Article Do We Need A New Red Dawn?
Do We Need A New Red Dawn?
by Adam Serwer
Dan Foster says the likely crappiness of the new Red Dawn remake explains why we need a Red Dawn remake so badly:
To wit: MGM has taken the extraordinary step of digitally scrubbing the film of all references to Red China as the invading villains — substituting dialogue, removing images of Chinese flags and insignia etc. — because "potential distributors are nervous about becoming associated with the finished film, concerned that doing so would harm their ability to do business with the rising Asian superpower." All without the PRC even uttering a single word of protest.
And who are the new invaders? North Korea. That's right, the starving-to-death, massively brainwashed "Hermit Kingdom." I imagine at this very moment, Hollywood script doctors are working on a revised first act in which Kim Jong Il decides it's a good idea to let hundreds of thousands of his captive countrymen travel to America.
Foster has convinced me the new Red Dawn will suck, but I can't for the life of me figure out why he thinks this suggests we desperately need a Red Dawn remake. It was a film for its time. You might as well try to remake Rocky IV.
In fact, the reason the remake will suck illustrates precisely why we don't need a rehash of 1980s nationalist anti-Soviet propaganda. The U.S. is currently not facing any existential threats on the scale of the Soviet Union: not from China, not from Russia, not from al-Qaeda. That's the real reason why a film about young patriots turning back a foreign assault has less resonance; there's no one we can realistically imagine invading the U.S. Personally, I think the world's a better place for that, but war movies are a force that gives some people meaning.
Anyway, the story changes basically turn Red Dawn into a movie version of the video game Homefront, which is written by the same guy.

Worlds Collide: Shooting Drills Without a Timer
Rob Pincus and Rob Leatham are on the range debating what a valid measurement is when conducting shooting drills. What do measurements prove?
Timerless Shooting Drill
Rob Leatham has set up a drill with two rows of steel targets. The second row is invisible until the first row has been knocked down. In an unusual move for Rob, this is an untimed drill. The measurement will be how many hits are on the front target before it goes down and exposes the back target.
Both Robs shoot the drill and count how many hits it took to put down both targets. Rob Leatham actually missed one shot in this instance, but made no excuses for it. They discuss making excuses for mistakes, which was covered in detail in another Worlds Collide video.
However, both were accurate enough to knock down the targets, accuracy being the first measurement, and the second measurement, time, was not counted with a timer. But the need for speed was created by how long the target was available to the shooter.
Do-Over
Rob Leatham gets a do-over because of his missed shot the first time. And he misses one again this time, so the standard becomes Rob Pincus' four hits to knock both targets down. They discuss the worth of setting standards for shooting drills.
Rob Pincus finds this drill engaging and more practical than chasing the timer as a means to improve. The standard has been set, but can he improve? That's the impetus to keep practicing. But what they have established is that there are ways to measure shooting skills that do not require a timer and are practical.
When shooting steel targets, take extra precautions as rounds may deflect or skip off in an unexpected direction: Maintain a minimum safe shooting distance, do not use steel targets that are pitted or cracked, and check the height of the berm behind the targets.
One Response to "Worlds Collide: Shooting Drills Without a Timer"
frontierfarm54 November 29th, 2018
If you hit the front target low enough it will not fall over. And if it does, it will take more hits to do so.

Tourniquets: Tactical Medical Solutions
Old-school thinking held that if a tourniquet were used on an extremity wound, the injured person would lose that limb. That has been shown to be incorrect, and tourniquets are now in the first-aid kits of medics on battlefields and streets worldwide.
Problem Solving on the Range: Realistic Engagement of Multiple Threats
Rob Pincus and Deryck Poole work with a student to develop the ability to train realistically for multiple threats. Too often, students on the range just swing between targets instead of training to break their focus on the first threat and truly assess their environment to find and engage any other threats.

Locations of postganglionic nerve cells whose axons enter nerves originating from prevertebral ganglia

Major nerve trunks that supply abdominal viscera contain axons of postganglionic neurons that originate in the coeliac ganglion, superior mesenteric ganglion, inferior mesenteric ganglia, hypogastric nerve ganglia and the sympathetic chain ganglia. Using the retrogradely transported neuronal marker Fast Blue, we mapped the distribution of labelled nerve cells after application of the dye to either the superior coeliac nerves, inferior coeliac nerves, superior mesenteric nerve, colonic nerves or hypogastric nerves. Distinctive patterns of nerve cell locations were associated with each nerve trunk. Within the coeliac ganglion, nerve cells that projected into the superior coeliac nerves were almost exclusively lateral, whilst neurons in the medial part of the coeliac ganglion and in the rostral pole of the superior mesenteric ganglion tended to project into the inferior coeliac nerves. Nerve cells located around the emerging superior mesenteric nerve in the superior mesenteric ganglion contributed the majority of axons to that nerve. Cells in both poles of the inferior mesenteric ganglia contributed the majority of postganglionic axons to the colonic nerves, but some cells in the caudal pole of the superior mesenteric ganglion also projected into the colonic nerves. Postganglionic axons in the hypogastric nerves originated from cells predominantly located in the caudal pole of the inferior mesenteric ganglion; however, cells in the rostral pole of the inferior mesenteric ganglia, the superior mesenteric, coeliac and hypogastric nerve ganglia also contributed some axons. Nerve cells of sympathetic chain ganglia projected into each of the nerve trunks; they were distributed rostro-caudally according to the nerve injected.

Most of the well-known features in Death Valley are located in the southern section of the national park. Visitor facilities are concentrated around Furnace Creek, at the 178/190 road junction - here there are several campgrounds (some closed in summer), various shops and hotels, a petrol station, a museum and the main park visitor center. This is the place to obtain maps and other information since unlike most national parks there are no manned entrance points elsewhere in the valley. There is even a golf course, presumably for winter use only.
mostly across mud flats and sandy plains. The interesting part is the two miles below McLean Spring where the waters persist all year, and in spring form quite an extensive network of branched streams, marshes and pools, some several feet deep. The creek here is bordered by green bushes and reeds yet is surrounded by bluish white mud hills, completely barren - quite striking scenery. This area is reached by a short side road off CA 267, 15 miles north of Furnace Creek - a raised boardwalk loops round some of the streams and a faint path continues further along the valley, though walking away from the official trail is not encouraged. The pools have large numbers of the endangered Death Valley pupfish, one of several very isolated colonies that exist in wetland regions of the Mojave Desert - another is found at Devils Hole in the Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge in Nevada.
One of the most famous sections of Death Valley is the highly colored badlands around Zabriskie Point, Golden Canyon/Gower Gulch, Twenty Mule Team Canyon and Corkscrew Canyon. Similarly unusual and varied colors are visible a little further south in the rocks and canyons along Artist's Drive, a narrow paved one-way loop on which travel is possible south to north. Often the road bends sharply and crosses steep gullies, resulting in a rather tortuous journey with a top speed of only 15 mph, but this is a very rewarding trip with much unusual scenery, and particularly outstanding is Artist's Palette, a stretch of the hillside composed of curved bands of clayish rock in vivid hues of green, white, pink and black. There are plenty of parking places, to allow for taking photographs and exploring on foot, and the drive should be passable by all but the largest of vehicles. The route is only 9 miles long but takes at least half an hour to drive. As it climbs into the hills, there are great views across the salt flats below to the west.
Many short, narrow canyons cut into the mountains north and east of Artist's Drive; the road passes across several dry washes then emerge from some of them, and all are worth exploring. One of the longest runs just below the main Artist's Palette overlook and can be followed into the hills for at least a mile through the extravagantly striped and eroded rocks typical of this area. A second is Natural Bridge Canyon, located a few miles to the south, while one mile beyond the north end of the drive, an unsigned track leads to another good narrow ravine - Desolation Canyon. This starts as a sandy wash through yellow/brown badlands, similar to those around Gower Gulch just to the north, but soon becomes up to 10 meters deep in places with vertical sides, though mostly the walls are less sheer. The passages are dusty, crumbling and quite winding, but the canyon does not go on too far as after branching several times it becomes shallower, ending at a ridge that overlooks the end of Artists Drive and some of the Death valley salt flats - a nice view. A round trip to this point takes less then an hour. Further south in the Black Mountains, the side canyons are generally steeper though the lower ends can still be entered easily, such as Willow Creek.
Devil's Golf Course is a large expanse of land completely without vegetation and covered in crystalline salt deposits. The surface is sharp and very uneven, with hollows and pinnacles up to a foot in size so walking is quite difficult - this is a place to look at but not much else, although early settlers ('The Forty-Niners') did manage to cross the terrain as early as 1849 during the California gold rush. It is said to be still possible to see their wagon tracks in the salt from the ovrlook far above the valley at Dante's View. The Devil's Cornfield, near Stovepipe Wells further north is an unrelated feature - this has isolated high tufts of the arrowweed plant separated by stretches of empty sand.
Just south of Devil's Golf Course, the shallow salt pools at Badwater mark the lowest point in North America. Highway 178 continues south for 27 miles at or below sea level to Ashford Junction, one of several locations in the park where car radiator water is provided. Two miles before the junction is a collection of ruined concrete buildings at Ashford Mill, site of a processing operation where gold was extracted from ore excavated at a nearby mine. This was not commercially successful and the business was shut down in 1914, leaving the buildings to gradually decay, and they now stand isolated on the edge of a small cliff, in the middle of a rather desolate region. At Ashford Junction, the main road climbs through the Black Mountains to Shoshone, while a rough, sandy track continues at sea level to the mouth of the valley and eventually links with a paved road to Baker.


Singapore, which has a population of 5,535,000, is considered one of the cleanest cities in Asia where strict laws exist for cleanliness and maintenance of the environment, and where even spitting is considered an offense. On the other hand, we find a state like Nagaland, with a much lesser population and size struggling to keep its cities clean and spit-and-litter-free. Recently, on 2nd October 2015, a Swachh Bharat Campaign was organized in Dimapur in a bid to promote cleanliness and sanitation. While such initiatives are encouraging, it also makes us realise that we can and need to be doing more to promote and educate one another on the importance of civic sense, and that our outdoors need to be just as clean as the homes we live in.
Our society has adapted to do things the easy way. We do not see our people adopting the appropriate means to get work done. However, when it comes to exhibiting real values in life, we need the application of proper means to achieve the required end. As Christians, we should always remember the well-known quote 'Cleanliness is next to Godliness'. There is no denying of the fact that our society is proceeding towards an era without a civic sense, which in the long run will be hazardous. This is an apprehensive discussion about the Indian society in general and Nagaland in particular.
In India, nationwide sanitation programmes started way back in 1986, restructuring and changing policies several times with a different name each time. We have spent millions on sanitation infrastructure but sadly, all have failed because the most important component of such programmes was left out ie. 'Civic Sense'. I fear Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, the latest restructured sanitation programme of India may be another failure for the same reason.
Civic sense is nothing but social ethics or the unspoken norms of society. It is not just about keeping the roads, streets and public property clean but also has to do with abiding with law, respecting other's point of view, maintaining decorum in public places. Individualism, vandalism, intolerance, racism, road rage, etc. are all examples of lack of civic sense. People are becoming less and less tolerant of each other, of other's cultures, backgrounds, beliefs and behaviour. It is simply about understanding that every right implies a responsibility, every opportunity an obligation and every possession a duty. It's about having consideration for a fellow human being, having concern for elders, women, children and disabled people, driving in one's lane without meaningless honking, proper disposal of garbage, smoking only at designated places. The list can go on.
We absolutely lack basic civic sense and many of us are not even bothered. For instance, the roads in Nagaland are not dirty because nobody cleans it, but they are strewn with garbage because it is us who have thrown it there in the first place. Such callous littering has no place in modern society but it still exists in ours because we accuse everybody for it and wait for someone else to remove it. On several instances, I have seen people spitting on the roads, littering public places. The current state of public transport, for example, is disheartening. There are spit stains, urine, vulgar graffiti, random garbage and overflowing of sewers at every nook and corner. Aren't we all proud to live in a city that boasts a high standard of living and good infrastructure? Why is it that when it comes to keeping it clean, we turn a blind eye? We are enthralled by many things western societies do and the only thing missing is the sense of collective responsibility. Every single individual in our society seems to feel that the road belongs to him or her, be it the automobile driver, the two wheeler user or the pedestrian. At night, every driver tries to outshine the vehicles coming in the opposite direction, and the incessant honking which we all know is very annoying and of no use. Compare this with the disciplined silent driving in other countries. Land encroachment is another significant instance of the lack of civic sense, particularly in Nagaland. The Nagas today are so driven towards their personal gains that civic sense as an ethic has become a low priority and almost a nuisance to those who regard it as unnecessary evil. This attitude has proven to be catastrophic for our society. In addition, the developmental works carried out by various departments, viz. PHE and Telecom, which are supposed to be constructive initiatives, has unfortunately proven to be destructive in a way, because of the fact that after their work is done, they do not bother to take care of the dirt, and this undoubtedly creates inconvenience.
Ultimately, problems of such nature needs to be addressed in a pro-active way .The objective should be to create a sense of collective responsibility through education, participation and action both as a group and as an individual. The aim is to build awareness, knowledge and understanding the gravity of the situation and its impact on our society. The need of the hour therefore is to effectively address the problem, discourage behaviour that is detrimental to the society by instilling a set of values that can lead to creating the right mindset in people. Each of us should start practicing a culture of civic sense and sensibility, ensuring a future where everyone is aware of the importance of social ethic or societal norms which should not just be followed but should become a way of life.
Smooth functioning societies owe a lot of credit to the right amount of civic behaviour among its people. Civic sense does not come from just enforcement but from a "sense of belonging" which creates pride and a sense of ownership. Law cannot be enforced on many things. As a society we have to address this problem in a pro-active way and need to build that sense of accountability. Value formation as a determinant of behaviour is an important phenomenon that cannot be ignored or overlooked. Lack of civic sense has reached such a point of crisisnthat a single campaign will not be able to address the problem. We need to dismount our high sense of greatness and introspect seriously about our failings in civic virtues. Clean India campaign can address only a tiny part, and we as individuals shall have to find ways to switch on the civic sense button in our DNA. Civic Laws should be enacted and civic education should be introduced. Civic sense is something like a genetic trait. As such, if the present generation can be made 'a human being with civic sense' the rest is simple, future generation will follow.

Model 1 to 6 for both features are exactly the same and more are coming as the application scales. This is becoming hard to maintain. Does clean architecture allow for sharing models and entities across the multiple features? Would that be done through the core folder?

A: Yes you can and you maybe should not do it.
Yes, because the clean architecture doesn't make a statement about this. As long as the dependency rule is honored you are compliant in terms of the clean architecture.
But you maybe should not do it, because there are other principles and considerations you should take into account.
First, you should ask your self if it would be a violation of the single responsiblility principle. Sometimes things look the same but are not really douplicated code. It's more an accident that they look the same. The question is "Who is the change trigger?". Usually the features change for different reasons and thus the features use cases and entities change for different reasons. If so you should not share the models between them.
Second, from a DDD (domain driven design) perspective the features can be in different bounded contexts. In this case you can have two entities with the same name, but they have different meanings in the differnt context. Therefore, the models have different properties and different methods.
If you decide to share the modles you should take a close look at them in intervalls and scan the properties and methods. Are there properties and methods that are exclusively dedicated to one feature? If so you are maybe mixing concerns.
Finally if you are facing problems like "Uhh, we changed someting here and broke something there", you should rethink if the sharing of some code is a good way to go. Sharing of code always couples code, because all clients depend on the shared code. It's a trade off between duplication (maintenance costs) and dependencies. Principles like the SRP help you to make an educated guess.

A: I'm assuming you're following the ResoCoder course. I did too. I used that design in our team for a few weeks before realizing there soon become problems with it (which ResoCoder himself realizes if you check the Github issues and responses for his repo):

*

*Sharing between features doesn't work well.

*It's hard to have functionality split between multiple features.

*Not well organized with a lot of code.

*Some more which I forget off the top of my head (He wrote some article on the failing of it somewhere).

Hence, for my team's app (getting quite complex now), we've adapted this which seems to work:
(ignore the 2 \core directories, that's by mistake. There's meant to be only 1)

Then, inside all of these top-level directories (excluding /core - that's specifically for things like API clients, routers, etc.), there's folders for each feature. Ex: authentication, settings, posting, etc.
Then, here's the important bit, in each of these feature-split directories (ex: /domain, /presentation, etc.) we have a sub-directory called /shared that resembles what each folder needs to look like, except it just contains functionality that's categorized as (example) domain or data. This stuff is then split between all features.
For example, if I have an app that allows users to post content, I'm going to create the post entity (using ResoCoder terminology) inside the /posts feature. Except, UH OH, I need to have it displayed inside the /feed feature as well! This is then a perfect case for /shared inside the general /domain directory.
Let me know if this helps, or if you have any further questions!

A:
Does clean architecture allow for sharing models and entities across the multiple features?

I think DRY principles should be applied whether you use clean architecture or not.
As for the answer:
I think you could abstract your shared models and entities into separate modules or packages. If it's all dart code, I suggest choosing packages. You can place it inside the root project (Monorepo) or separate it to another repository, this way you could achieve modularity by abstracting the all layer of shared dependency (abstract class, interface, clients, or maybe repositories) out of the main application
There is a good video about this topic on Google I/O'19, it is about Android but you can get great insight and applied to general mobile development. I suggest you give it a try

The northern bog lemming ranges across much of boreal North America from the southern two-thirds of Alaska south into northern Washington and east across Canada to the Atlantic coast. In the conterminous United States, it is found near the Canadian border in Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Maine. Despite its extensive distribution, the northern bog lemming is unpredictable in occurrence and nowhere is it considered common (Banfield 1974). In Minnesota, it was classified as a species of special concern in 1984 due to its rarity in the state. It was first reported in Lake of the Woods County in 1932, and since then less than a dozen occurrences have been documented in Roseau, Clearwater, Beltrami, Koochiching, Itasca, and St. Louis counties. The small number of documented locations in areas of apparently suitable habitat supports the species' listing as special concern.
The northern bog lemming closely resembles other microtine rodents with which it may share habitat. Grooved upper incisors, a very short tail (18-25 mm; 0.7-1.0 in.), and grizzled grayish brown to chestnut colored pelage, with a buffy orange patch at the base of the ear, can help distinguish bog lemmings of the genus Synaptomys from other microtines, such as Clethrionomys, Microtus, and Phenacomys. The northern bog lemming closely resembles the more common southern bog lemming (S. cooperi) and both may be found at the same location. Female northern bog lemmings have 4 pairs of mammae, while female southern bog lemmings have 3 pairs. Species identification can only be confirmed by examining dental and skull characteristics. In the northern bog lemming, lower molars lack distinct inward angles on the outer (labial) edge, the upper incisors frequently have labial spines, and the palate has a sharply pointed spine at its posterior end.
Northern bog lemmings typically occur in open, wet habitats dominated by sphagnum moss, ericaceous shrubs, and graminoids (acid peatland and open rich peatland systems). Subspecies exhibit different habitat preferences including conifer forests, shrublands, alpine meadows, and dry sagebrush hillsides (Banfield 1974; Foresman 2001). In Minnesota, northern bog lemmings have been found in open bog, shrub carr, and black spruce swamp habitats (Nordquist 1992).
Little is known about this rare species' habits. The diet of northern bog lemmings consists of herbaceous vegetation, primarily grasses and sedges, but they also will eat snails, slugs, and other invertebrates (Foresman 2001). Small piles of clipped vegetation and bright green feces indicate the presence of bog lemmings (Cowan and Guiguet 1973). Northern bog lemmings are active throughout the year, during day and night. They construct well-defined runways or use those of other species. Globular nests of grass or sedge are hidden in short underground burrows, under logs, in sphagnum hummocks, or on the surface under the snow (Foresman 2001).
The breeding season for northern bog lemmings occurs from May through August. Gestation lasts approximately 3 weeks. Litters of up to 8 young are possible, with an average of 4 young per litter (NatureServe 2008). One day after giving birth, females are capable of breeding again and young northern bog lemmings are sexually mature at 5-6 weeks (West 1999; Foresman 2001).
Predators of northern bog lemmings include hawks, owls, and weasels (West 1999).
During the period of Pleistocene glacial advance, northern bog lemmings occurred as far south as Kansas. Today, their distribution has retreated northward into boreal bog and forest habitats. The species is patchily distributed, occurs in low numbers, and likely experiences little-to-no gene flow between populations. The current distribution of northern bog lemmings may comprise isolated, relic populations that are now trapped in remnant post-glacial habitats (Foresman 2001).
All Minnesota records for northern bog lemmings are from peatland habitats in the Agassiz Lowlands, Littlefork-Vermillion Uplands, and Border Lakes ecological subsections. While this region has not experienced the level of habitat destruction and alteration observed in other parts of the state, harvesting of pulpwood, peat, and Christmas trees affects the habitats used by northern bog lemmings.
Delineating the distribution of northern bog lemmings in Minnesota will be a priority of the Minnesota Biological Survey when surveys are conducted in the Agassiz Lowlands ecological subsection. Large tracts of suitable peatland habitat should be protected where the species is found to occur.

Today's Wonder of the Day was inspired by Dane. Dane Wonders, "Who invented Comic strip art?" Thanks for WONDERing with us, Dane!
What's that way up there in the sky? Is it a bird? Could it be a plane? If you're a fan of superheroes, then you've probably already guessed who it is. It's Superman!
Superheroes are everywhere these days. If you go to the movie theater, it seems like there's always a new superhero movie playing. From Batman and Captain America to Iron Man and Green Lantern, there's no shortage of fascinating films to feed our hunger for heroes.
Although it seems like superhero movies are especially popular recently, they've actually been a fan favorite for a long, long time. Superheroes didn't debut in movies, though. They actually got their start in the pages of the earliest comic books.
So who exactly invented comic books and when did they first appear? Scholars believe the oldest comic book in the world is The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck, which was published in Europe in 1837.
Although it looked more like a picture book than what most Americans would consider to be a comic book, its author, Switzerland's Rudolphe Töpffer, is widely considered to be the creator of the picture story, comic strip, and graphic novel/comic book.
The first American comic book, Funnies on Parade, was published in 1933. Rather than original content, however, it was composed of reprinted comic strips from newspapers, including such favorites as Mutt and Jeff, Joe Palooka, and Skippy.
It was very popular and led to the publication of other syndicated comic strips from newspapers. It wasn't long, though, before demand for comic books led aspiring cartoonists, suffering from high unemployment as a result of the Great Depression, to create inexpensive original content.
It didn't take long for the fledgling comic book industry to take flight. In fact, the golden age of comic books began with the 1938 debut of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster's Superman character in Action Comics #1.
Still the most recognizable comic book character of all time, Superman made comic books very popular and inspired the creation of a wide variety of characters with all sorts of superpowers. Soon comic book fans could buy comic books featuring Captain America, Batman, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Flash, Plastic Man, Captain Marvel, and many others.
Comic book sales increased dramatically during World War II. People could not get enough of the patriotic, inspirational stories of good overcoming evil. Plus, they were cheap. Captain America was particular popular during the war.
Comic books remain popular today. Classic comic books can also be extremely valuable. Action Comics #1, in which Superman made his debut, is still considered the most valuable comic book in the world. In 2014, a copy of the classic comic sold for over $3 million!

I cut out the pictures I wanted to use – large graphs for the main background, circuit diagrams and pictures of transformers for the images. I used a paint brush to paint the watered down PVA glue onto the box, then I painted a picture at a time with it and laid the 'painted' side down on the box. Using the paint brush and my fingers I smoothed any wrinkles in the paper out.
To make it extra neat and prevent flacking edges, I wrapped the paper up underneath the bottom edge of the box and made sure it was smoothed off on the in side, I tried to avoid edges of pictures occuring at corners and edges.
For the hole where the tissues will come out I cut little slits into the pictures along one edge before pasting them on. For the more curved bits I the lines into the picture radiating for the some point on the edge of the picture. Both these ways of cutting the edge of the picture gave me flaps I could glue into place though the hole in the inside of the box.
For the corners I cut the pictures in half up until the middle of the image so I ended up with a piece of paper with two 'legs'. I then pasted it onto the box with the legs sticking up from the sides I folded them over one at a time so that one leg sat over the other.
I then left it to dry raised up on some plastic cups. For a longer life I am going to attempt to vanish it.

Get Your Best Sleep Ever!
Traditional foam earplugs use passive attenuation to reduce the sound entering the ear. Whilst they are good at blocking high frequency sounds, they are quite poor at reducing low frequency sounds, especially those below 500 Hz.
The most common reason married couples sleep in separate rooms is due to the fact that one partner snores. Snoring impacts 25% of people in the U.S. on a regular basis and over 50% on an occasional basis. Cancel out the sound of snoring partner with QuietOn Sleep and enjoy the sleep next to your loved one.
Someone's bliss can be another's annoyance. Loud music from neighbours' parties, lawn mower's sound in early morning, train clanging from nearby traffic, airplane landing… There are millions of reasons to wake us up in the middle of a good night sleep. Shut out the external noise with QuietOn Sleep and enjoy the warm cosiness of your own bed.


Levon , " Malou , are you going to hang out with me or not?!! "
Levon , " Well , you're the one who wanted to hang out together in the tree hammock ."
Levon , " What could be more important than hanging out in the hammock ?! "
Levon , " Fine. I'll touch the wool ball. Now will you cuddle with me ? (whispers. I don't know why I am such a nimrod and I listen to her and actually do her bidding when she gets like this ) . "
Levon , " No , you won't come up after all ?!! Dang! I even touched the wool ball like the big goon that I am even though I knew she wouldn't come up! Is there someone else who wants to have a cat nap cuddle with Little Ole Me? I'll wait for you. "
Malou , " Here I am on the edge of the old claw tub. I like to run around its' perimeter. Frankly , it is a bit of a balancing act but I am very , very capable."
Levon , " I can run around the edge of the tub even faster than you Malou ! No problemo! "
Malou , " I doubt that very much Levon ! "
Malou , " The other thing we like to do when we are in the bathroom is . . . "
Malou , " Pssst. Levon!! Down here!! "
Malou , " right. . . the other thing we like to do when we are in the bathroom is play with the bathtub ring. We call it playing , tub hockey . Sometimes we take breaks from tub hockey and stick our paws down the drain to see how far we can reach down . Sometimes we even catch silverfish but shhhh. don't tell LP. Silverfish make her shiver !! "
Levon , " LP claims we are good at entertaining ourselves. She says we "self - express" , very well. When we are finished with running around the old claw tub and with playing tub hockey we like to leave our signature . . . "
Levon , " . . . on the toilet paper roll , as a final display of and contribution to our self- expression ! "
Esme , " Here I am on my favourite blanket again. I wanted to let you know that I feel one hundred percent better than I did when I turned all red and was rushed to the vet's ."
Esme , " Well , I didn't just turn all red. If you recall , I also had a rash and sores and LP had a heart attack. Or almost had a heart attack and blubbered at the vet's and caused me to hang my head in shame and mortification. Now do you remember ?!! "
Esme , " Well in the end, LP did in fact put on her thinking cap and after a bit of sleuthing around she thinks she knows what caused the problem! You see, she asked a few people who had been over for a BBQ the evening before my rash and red skin outburst , if they had fed me some of their BBQ salmon. The resounding answer was , yes!! So LP put two and two and two more together and realized since I had never been fed salmon before, I was reacting to the salmon that her guests were slipping to me while she was otherwise occupied! "
Esme , " Actually, she insinuated that I stole salmon from her guests' very plates and that I then probably ingratiated myself to them by flirting and batting my eyelashes so that they would feed me even more salmon. What FALSE accusations! "
Esme , " We all know I am incapable and furthermore ABOVE such lowly behaviour. And to add insult to injury , she has ruined any future fun for me by letting everyone know I am highly allergic to salmon!! Her exact words were , " In the future , please do not feed salmon to the monkey at the zoo ! " Monkey?! Me?! HOW RUDE!! "
Malou , " Gosh. It sure has been a long and exciting few weeks ! I had to learn how to be a nurse AND how to meow like a pirate ; both for the very first time! "
Malou , " Actually accomplishing these two incredible , impressive , and skillful feats has plum tuckered me out ! "
Malou , " Levon's already out like a light. But that's also largely because LP finally caved in and bought him the toy he really, really, really wanted. I think all those pain killers are making her extra accommodating. . . YAWN ! ! I'm sooooo sleepy! "
Malou , " I suppose I should really let Levon tell you all about his new toy. Next week. When he eventually wakes up. . . "
Malou , " For now , we'll need to sleep the doubly deep sleep of tired out treasure hunting pirates as well as the sleep of exceptionally dedicated nurses !! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ."
Have fun in the Autumn sun if you get the chance.
Levon , " It's Meow Like a Pirate Day !! Malou and I weren't here last year when the others played! It's our first time aboard! Avast me buckos! "

Issa , " Duffy and I get to be Honorary pirate cats on Meow Like a Pirate Day. I know, I be lookin like the ballerina . . . "
Issa , ". . . but I be wearing the ole skull and bones like a veritable and true pirate cat! "
Issa , " Me tongue be me sword! Yee'll not get away from me yee blaggards! "

Malou , " but don't yee be afeared , I be hoistin me skirt up and masterin me pirate swat and takin a few landlubbers down in no time at all , like thee ole pro pirate cat I be ! "

The recent Court of Appeal Decision, Pacific National Pty Ltd v Baldacchino (2018) NSWCA 281 has provided important clarification of injured workers rights to medical expenses in NSW, particularly in respect to any type of joint replacement surgery.
S59A of the Workers Compensation Act 1987 (Act) outlines the time limits which apply to payment of medical expenses in respect of a work place injury. Simply, if you are an injured worker who has exhausted their entitlement to statutory weekly compensation payments (5 years or 260 weeks) and have been assessed as suffering less than 10% whole person impairment, you are entitled to payment of your ongoing reasonably necessary medical expenses for a period of 2 years.
Moreover, if you are assessed as suffering 10% to 20% whole person impairment, you are entitled to further 5 years medical expenses if deemed reasonably necessary by the workers compensation insurer.
Naturally, these finite time limitations can have significant implications upon an injured workers access to ongoing treatment. Such time limitations may not always accommodate the natural deterioration of an injury and the unforseen need for surgery 10 to 20 years in the future of an injured worker.
The term artificial aid has been helpfully clarified by the abovementioned Court of Appeal decision. Whilst numerous claims in the past pursuant to the Act have asserted joint replacement surgery is classed as a an artificial aid, the decision of Pacific National Pty Ltd v Baldacchino (2018) NSWCA 281 now provides binding authority confirming that joint replacement surgeries are classed as artificial aids and not captured by the time limitation provision of S59A.
Simply, this means that if a worker has suffered an injury and their entitlement to medical expenses has ceased by operation of S59A, the worker will continue to be permitted to claim for any type of surgery which is classed as "joint replacement".
The decision of Baldacchino provides guiding interpretation of the definition of an artificial aid, stating that the "aid" must work to ameliorate the effect of a persons disability and may compromise of a single object or a composite of objects working together.
Therefore, if you are an injured worker who has suffered a workplace injury in the past and now require a surgery, it may be important to seek legal advice as to whether the cost of the proposed surgery can be covered by your workers compensation insurer.

Ontario's finest annual stage events open in earnest this month with previews for a number of anticipated plays. At the renowned Stratford Shakespeare Festival, audiences can start humming on April 10 as Kiss Me, Kate offers a musical interpretation of the Bard's The Taming of the Shrew, while Peter Pan begins his magical flight on April 16. A short trip from Toronto, the Shaw Festival in quaint Niagara-on-the-Lake offers previews starting April 9 of Oscar Wilde's An Ideal Husband, in which a government minister must choose between a public scandal and shaming his wife. Also on the fest's spring schedule are Mary Chase's Harvey, as of April 1, and Chekov's The Cherry Orchard, on April 20. An early-bird bonus: tickets to preview performances often come at a discounted price.
I just wrote out a really detailed comment, however it isn't showing up for some weird reason….


Today, we got a rumor for Samsung's flagship smartphone that will more than likely be launched early next year. A report coming out of South Korea is claiming that Samsung's Galaxy S10+ will have the same number of cameras on board, and in a similar configuration as well.
That would be one more than what's available on the Galaxy S9+ right now. That certainly doesn't seem like a stretch at all, especially with Samsung having put such a focus on photography in its smartphones over the years.
A new report from The Bell echoes that earlier report, saying that Samsung is indeed planning on putting three cameras on the back of the Galaxy S10+. But that's not all. The publication's sources also say that Samsung is going to install a pair of cameras on the front of the phone, too. Unfortunately, whatever Samsung is planning on doing with those pair of cameras up front isn't articulated in the report.
Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy S10 model is said to boast three cameras on the back, too, but come equipped with only a single camera on the front. There is rumored to be a lower cost Galaxy S10 variant, too, which will reportedly feature a pair of cameras on the back and just one camera on the front.
We are many months away from Samsung making the Galaxy S10 officially official, and, if the last few weeks are any indicator, we're going to be hearing about the upcoming handset and its variants quite a bit between then and now. Are you looking forward to the arrival of the Galaxy S10 next year?

Court fixes January 15, 2021 for further hearing in PDP's case against Abiru over Lagos East senatorial bye-election
A Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos has fixed January 15, 2021 for further hearing in the case filed by the People's Democratic Party and its candidate, Mr. Babatunde Gbadamosi, in the just concluded bye-election for the Lagos East Senatorial District.
In the case, the plaintiffs are urging the court to hold that Mr Adetokunbo Abiru was not qualified to stand as a candidate of the All Progressive Congress, in the bye-election that held on December 5, 2020.
The Peoples Democratic Party and its candidate in the said election, Mr. Gbadamosi, had dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission, Mr. Abiru and the APC to court, seeking to disqualify him from contesting the election on the ground of double voter's registration and violation of section 31 of the Electoral Act.
This matter was still pending in court when INEC went ahead and conducted the said bye election on December 5, 2020, whereby it declared Abiru as the senator-elect for the district.
In the suit filed on PDP's behalf by a human rights lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, SAN, the PDP is seeking an order directing INEC to delete the name of Abiru and the APC from the list of the candidates and political parties entitled to participate in the said bye election.
PDP is also asking for an order nullifying, cancelling and voiding the nomination, submission and acceptance of the name of Abiru as the candidate of the APC for the bye-election and an order disqualifying him from contesting the bye election.
When the case came up yesterday, December 9, 2020 before the Hon Justice Professor Chuka Obiozor, Adegboruwa, SAN represented the plaintiffs, while T. I. Inuwa, SAN, represented INEC. Mr Kemi Pinheiro, SAN, represented Abiru and Mr Abiodun Owonikoko, SAN, stood in for APC.
Adegboruwa adopted all the processes filed on behalf of the plaintiffs, urging the court to hold that Abiru was not eligible to stand as a candidate in the election because of false declarations made to INEC under oath. He also stated that Abiru deserves to be disqualified on the ground of possession of multiple voter's registration.
Inuwa on behalf of INEC urged the court to dismiss the case of PDP on the ground that it is not every false declaration on oath that will lead to the disqualification of a candidate. He maintained that Abiru has substantially satisfied the conditions for qualification as stated under the Constitution and the Electoral Act.
Earlier in the proceedings, Adegboruwa had withdrawn his motion for amendment to enable the court hear the substantive case of the plaintiffs.
The Senior lawyers took arguments in turn from 10am till 7pm, when it became clear that the case could not be concluded.
The Judge agreed with the SANs to adjourn further hearing to January 15, 2021.

Are you thinking about providing OHS training to your current and future employees? There are a number of reasons why this is a fantastic idea – here are just five!
In Australia, levels of absenteeism are 25 per cent higher than those recorded in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
This is according to the 2013 Absence Management and Wellbeing survey, conducted by Direct Health Solutions (DHS), which involved approximately 450,000 employees and employers from 108 businesses across the country.
The survey reveals that, on average, employees in Australia take 8.93 days of sick leave each year. Interestingly, manual workers are more likely to take sick leave than non-manual workers, racking up 9.2 days of sick leave each year compared to 7.8 days of sick leave.
Out of the employers who took part in the survey, 71 per cent said they believed absenteeism was a "significant cost" on their businesses. They were right – it's estimated to cost businesses around $2,741 per employee each year.
When an employee is absent – even for a day – you are paying them, but they're not making a contribution to your business.
The longer they are away, the more pressure it places on your other workers to "fill the gap". It will also affect deadlines and impact customers, and may even necessitate the recruitment of a new employee.
The Department of Employment explains that having effective OHS processes in place is proven to reduce absenteeism, which means they could save you hundreds of thousands in sick leave costs.
Of course, the best way to ensure these OHS processes are not only introduced but also implemented correctly is by educating your employees through OHS training.
A comprehensive risk management strategy can help your business handle any dangerous situations that arise efficiently and effectively.
To develop one, your employees will need to have the skills and knowledge to recognise hazards in the workplace and make a note of them.
They will then have to come up with a plan for managing each individual hazard, keeping in mind how likely particular objects or activities are to cause injuries, and how great their potential to cause damage is.
If your employees undergo OHS training, they will be able to develop and implement a risk management strategy. This should reduce the number of serious accidents that occur in your workplace, keeping your staff healthy and safe.
It could also lower your business insurance premiums and workers' compensation costs, which – like reducing absenteeism – could save you quite a bit of money in the long run.
It's important to remember that your business's risk management strategy is not a "set-and-forget" type of document. On the contrary, it should be changing along with your workplace, to make sure it's always up-to-date and adequately covers all of the hazards – both old and new – in your business.
This means your employees should be taking part in OHS training on a regular basis, too, so their knowledge of OHS best practices is current.
If your business is associated with exemplary OHS practices and well-trained employees, this could boost your reputation within the sector you're operating in, which in turn could give you a significant advantage over your competitors.
In addition to this, it will make your business more attractive to customers, potential investors and partners, as well as your current staff and job seekers.
If employees regard your business as a safe and healthy place to work, they are more likely to want to join your team, as well as stay with it for longer.
According to a recent study conducted by recruitment company Hays, professional development such as OHS training is one of the keys attracting job seekers – especially those in Generation Y (that is, workers born between the early 1980s and the 2000s).
The survey involved more than 1,000 job seekers who fell into this age bracket. They were asked what factors helped them to decide between prospective employers and, lo and behold, training and development won by a landslide.
A total of 53 per cent said whether a business provided training and development was the first thing they considered when decided to accept a job offer. It beat out benefits (41 per cent), flexibility (37 per cent), the ability to progress quickly (31 per cent) and a defined career path (29 per cent).
So, if you're looking to secure the creme de la creme of Generation Y workers that a currently looking for work, OHS training could be an easy way to do it!
While each state and territory has its own OHS rules and regulations, the bottom line is that all employers are required to provide their workers with sufficient OHS training to perform work tasks in a safe way.
Naturally, the more dangerous the industry in which you're operating is, the more strict the OHS rules and regulations. For instance, in the construction industry it's important for each employee to possess a white card (formerly known as a green card) before conducting work on site.
Your employees can receive a white card by undertaking the necessary OHS course at a registered training organisation, such as AlertForce. The course is quite straightforward and covers a wide range of topics.
These include how to identify any risks you come into contact with on site, how to safely manage those risks, how to put safety measures in place and ensure other workers both understand and follow them, and an overview of the OHS rules and regulations in your particular area.
Your workers can complete the required training in as little as a day, making them able to perform any and all tasks on site and ultimately much less of a liability to you and your business.
In the end, OHS training is all about making your business a safe and healthy place to work.
According to business.gov.au, as an employer you are obliged to provide your staff with the following things: safe premises, safe equipment and machinery, safe work processes and systems, "suitable working environment and facilities" and – most importantly – all the information, supervision and training they need to make it through the day in one piece.
If you introduce all of these into your business, you will be able to prevent or reduce the number of people who suffer from work-related injuries or are killed, improve long-term productivity and even "foster innovation, quality and efficiency through continuous improvement," according to the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-22.
Would you like to learn more about the OHS training courses that are available to your business? Then get in touch with the team at AlertForce today!


At last, Trekkies and Trypanophobes have something in common. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have pulled a page from Star Trek's book and have developed a technique for giving shots without a needle, much like the injections Dr. McCoy delivered on the starship Enterprise.
MIT scientists, led by Professor Ian Hunter, have figured out a way to inject medicine using a high-pressure jet to deliver specific amounts of medicine to variable depths beneath the skin, reports the Daily Mail. It's a step up from existing needleless transdermal devices, such as nicotine patches, which are limited to medicinal doses tiny enough to be delivered via the skin's pores. This means that the new needleless injections can be used on individuals of all ages and with a variety of doses and medications.
The specifics of the design only make the device sound more like something out of science fiction. The injector is built around a Lorentz-force actuator — a small, powerful magnet surrounded by a coil of wire that's attached to a piston. When the system is charged, it interacts with the magnetic field to produce a force that pushes the piston forward. This force ejects the drug at a pressure and velocity strong enough to get through skin, but supposedly feels no worse than a mosquito bite.
Needle-less injections aren't the only Star Trek-inspired scientific development recently. The Monash Vision Group's bionic eye project is crafting a seeing-eye device that looks a lot like the visor that Geordi LaForge wore in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Now that the needleless-injection is a reality, can they start working on transporters? Or maybe Tribbles, assuming we figure out a way to get them spayed?

Northern Irishman Colin Turkington (BMW) is currently the man to beat on 228 points, with a seven-point lead over Scotsman Gordon Shedden (Honda).
After dominating the early rounds, England's reigning champion Andrew Jordan (Honda) lies in third place with 200 points.
Champion in 2009, Turkington returned to the series last year and is looking forward to racing at Snetterton this weekend.
"I really enjoyed it last year, I found it a much bigger challenge than the old layout," he said.
"I think everybody is keen to know how fast we will be, including myself. I'm looking forward to going back for a second time, hopefully I'll be faster!"

Shedden, the 2012 champion, is confident of success this weekend.
"It will be good to get back into it at Snetterton and really get down to the serious end of the championship," he said.
"I feel relaxed and refreshed after the summer break and am definitely ready to go again.
"I've got happy memories of Snetterton. The 300 is the longest circuit we go to on the BTCC calendar, and it has a good mix of corners and hard-braking zones, which should play to our car's strengths."
Jordan is also ready resume his title defence and is confident of a strong end to the season.
"I think it's been good so far with four wins out of fifteen races, which is more than we'd had last year at this point," he said.
"The consistency hasn't been as good as last year, but I'm only five points behind where I was last year.
"We won a race at Snetterton last year, so I think we'll be strong. The 300 layout makes for good racing."
Englishmen Jason Plato (MG) and Rob Collard (BMW) are also within striking distance of Turkington.
The pair, who are fifth and sixth in the championship respectively, are both are confident of a strong result at Snetterton this weekend.
Since its transformation in 2011, the new Snetterton 300 circuit has provided some of the championship's most memorable moments.
Old rivals and former champions Plato and Matt Neal (Honda) famously clashed on track in the opening two events and last year Plato spectacularly rolled out of the final race of the weekend.
The pair will be joined by BTCC legends Fabrizio Giovanardi (Ford) and Alain Menu (VW) on the 31-car grid.
Giant TV screens will be showing all of the action throughout the day, which includes races from the Porsche Carrera Cup GB, Renault UK Clio Cup, Ginetta GT Supercup, Ginetta Juniors and Formula Ford.
Spectators can meet the drivers during a pit walk and autograph session at lunchtime on Sunday.

Q: Reading XML file in an offline web application I'm very very new in HTML and JavaScript development.
My goal is to develop a WebWorks Playbook app, but as it is identical to an Offline HTML5 app I ask this:
I want to read an XML file using JavaScript. Because it is an Offline application I don't know how to get access to XML file.
Do you know how can I get access to this XML file?
And then, how can I read it? May I use jQuery?

A: You can use HTML5's localStorage to store the XML file in user's browser(as a string).
Then when offline, read it from localStorage.
