Mercury's Wings: Exploring Modes of Communication in the Ancient World is the first volume of essays on ancient communications. The authors, who include Classicists, art historians, Assyriologists, and Egyptologists, take the broad view of communications as a vehicle, not just for the transmission of information, but also for the conduct of religion, commerce, and culture. Encompassed within this scope are varied purposes of communication such as propaganda and celebration, as well as profit and administration. Each chapter deals with either a communications network, a means or type of communication, or the special features of religious communication or communication in and among large empires. The spatial, temporal, and cultural boundaries of this volume take in the Near East as well as Greece and Rome, and cover a period of some 2,000 years, beginning in the second millennium BCE and ending with the spread of Christianity during the last centuries of the Roman Empire in the West. In all, about one quarter of the chapters deal with the Near East, one quarter with Greece, one quarter with Greece and Rome together, and one quarter with the Roman Empire and its Persian and Indian rivals.

Trinity College Dublin to spend €9m on Rubrics building revamp

Elves love peanut butter candy. They love it so much that they have a special day where they eat only desserts made with the confection.
Elves spend a year when they are young traveling together around the world and meeting children. Often their time is spent helping out children's charities in the various countries.
Elves have a choosing day where they decide what kind of trade they are going to work on in Santa's facilities. Providing gifts for children creates over a hundred different types of jobs.
An elf's grandmother chooses the child's name when he/she is born.
Elves have a polar dip on Christmas day after the gifts have been delivered. No one remembers when the tradition started but now the day is filled with fun and freezing water.
Elf children receive gifts from the workshop on their naming day. Usually the gifts are made by their relatives.
Elf children who wear glasses are said to have an inner insight into children's dreams. It is said that the fairies blessed the elf child and gave him/her the ability to interpret children's wants and desires.
Elves love costumes. Each day of the week has a theme and many of the elves will dress for the occasion. Yesterday was pajama day and almost all of the elves came to work wearing thick, colorful pj's over their work uniforms.

Dental abscesses can be extremely painful. After all, they are infected masses full of debris and pus. The infection typically starts out as a tooth infection, but it can easily spread to other areas of your mouth, especially your gums. Most abscesses need to be drained in order for them to heal properly, but these home remedies will give you some pain relief until it's time for your dentist appointment.
Gargling salt water will relieve your pain fairly quickly. Salt is a natural pain reliever, however, it also helps the swelling in the infected area go down.
In a glass, mix together 8 ounces of lukewarm water and one teaspoon of table salt.
Take a big drink and swish the salt water around in your mouth for as long as you can stand it.
Spit the salt water into the sink.
Oregano oil helps you fight the infection causing your abscess because it's a natural anti-bacteria, immune booster, anti-fungal, anti-oxidant, and anti-viral.
Clove oil helps you fight the infection causing the abscess and relieves pain. However, clove oil isn't as strong as oregano oil. You can use clove oil in one of two ways: massage it into the area surrounding the abscess or use it to brush your teeth.
While essential oils work wonders, you need to check with your dentist before you use them to ensure the oils you use won't affect his treatment in any way. Simply, call your dentist's office to ask whether or not the use of essential oils is okay before your dentist appointment. Also, remember, you don't want to ingest essential oils. The oils are highly concentrated compounds, which can make you sick if you ingest them.
Raw garlic kills bacteria naturally, boosts your immune system, and relieves pain, making it a great option to use when you're treating a dental abscess at home. Simply, crush a raw garlic clove to release the juice. Then, use your finger to massage the garlic juice into the area surrounding the abscess. Alternatively, you mash a small piece of a garlic clove so that it begins releasing juice. Then, place it between your cheek and gums.
Dental abscesses aren't fun to deal with, but they are easily treated. While you need to see a dentist (such as one from Dental Services by Bloor Smile Dental), you shouldn't simply live with the pain until it's time for your appointment. Instead, use a home remedy to give yourself some relief.

In the weeks before we picked up our three Tocos, as you can imagine, I was already lost in the Toucanland of the Worldwide Web. I couldn't get enough – I soaked up every piece of information that I could find, trying my best to properly prepare for their arrival.
One of the most curious subjects to me was regarding toucans and their water needs. Most all sources were in agreement that toucans don't really drink much water, as they get most all of their hydration from their moisture-rich fruit diet. I read that they mostly only need water provided in large bowls for bathing. Most sources recommend placing a bowl deep enough to accommodate their large beak on the aviary floor, to mimic their natural behavior in the wild of bathing in puddles on the ground after a rain.
From what I can tell, at their last home, our birds weren't consistently provided with a bowl large enough to bathe in on the ground. I only saw a small bowl located next to their food for drinking. So, in an effort to make an easy transition for the birds, while still providing them with what most experts find is best – we did both. We provide a heavy 9″ x 13″ pewter pan on a shelf next to their food for drinking water, then also have large pewter bowls on the cage floor for bathing.
So far, our toucans drink more water than I expected – taking long, satisfying sips throughout the day. Paco has adapted quickly to his new set-up: bathing in the bowl on the floor and reserving his food station water pan for drinking. Creatures of habit, both Paz & Pepe still have yet to bathe in the floor bowls, preferring to both drink and clean themselves in their main water pan. Hopefully one day they will discover the delights of the floor's bathing bowl and be able to enjoy both.

A görög mitológiában Kerberosz az óriás Tüphón és a félig nő, félig kígyó alakú Ekhidna gyermeke. Kerberosz háromfejű kutyaként született, és apjától óriási méreteket örökölt. A hatalmas teremtményt az istenek közül Hadésznek sikerült megszelídítenie, és így birodalmának őrzőjévé tennie. Kerberosz bárkit beengedett az Alvilág kapuján, azonban onnan ki senkit nem eresztett. Neve görögül azt jelenti, hogy a mélység démona. Mégis sikerült pár földi halandónak túljárnia Kerberosz eszén.

Így az első, aki az Alvilágba léphetett, Orpheusz volt, aki édes zenéjével elandalította a háromfejű szörnyet. Héraklész tizenkettedik munkája pedig az volt, hogy hozza fel Kerberoszt az élők világába. Az ókori görögök azt tartották, hogy amikor a halott rángatózik, akkor Kerberosz vérfagyasztó üvöltését hallja. Az Alvilágba Aineiasznak is sikerült lejutnia, aki a Szibüllától kapott altató hatású pogácsával kábította el a szörnyet.

Dante Isteni színjátékában Kerberosz a pokol 3. bugyrában élt.

Though the element iodine is poisonous in its gaseous state, the iodine ion (iodide) is essential to life.
Iodine in foods is converted to iodide in the gastrointestinal tract. In the body, the primary role of iodine involves thyroid function. Iodide is trapped by the thyroid gland, which uses it in the synthesis of the thyroid hormone thyroxin (T4).
Thyroid hormones regulate body temperature, cell growth, metabolism and the formation of red blood cells, making iodine a mineral of great importance.
Deficiency results in enlargement of the cells of the thyroid gland, a condition known as goiter. It can also cause sluggishness and weight gain, impaired fetal development, and cretinism, a condition of severe mental retardation and stunted growth.
Less severe forms of mental retardation may occur with iodine deficiency as well.
Throughout the world, iodine is added to salt to ensure adequate intakes of this important mineral. Most people are easily able to obtain sufficient amounts through consumption of iodized salt, which usually contains about 30-100 micrograms of iodine per gram.
The recommended amount of iodine for adults is about 150 micrograms per day. Children need between 70 and 150 micrograms per day, while pregnant women need 175 micrograms per day, and lactating women need 200 micrograms per day.
Since typical salt intake is 5-20 grams per day, people who use iodized salt easily meet their needs. Even when sodium intake is limited to the recommended 2 grams per day, iodine needs are easily met.
However, in areas where iodized salt is not available or for people who need to severely restrict sodium intake, iodine must be obtained from other sources.
In addition, eating large amounts of plants in the cabbage family can compromise the absorption of iodine. These foods contain substances called goitrogens that bind iodine in such as way that the body cannot use it.
Some health care providers may recommend supplements of iodine under certain conditions. For example, it is used in topical ointments to treat wounds and burns, and it sometimes recommended for improving symptoms of fibrocystic breast disease. Though it is generally well tolerated and safe to consume through iodized salt and other foods, it is important to use these supplements with caution and under the guidance of a knowledgeable healthcare provider.
In some cases, too much iodine can damage the thyroid gland and lead to the development of goiter or hypothyroidism.
Excessive intake is also associated with autoimmune disease and certain cancers.
People taking thyroid medications and those with thyroid disease, kidney disease or tuberculosis should be particularly cautious about the use of iodine supplements. In general, more than 2,000 micrograms of iodine per day is considered toxic.
The usual amount of iodine consumed through iodized salt intake is 160-600 micrograms per day.

A man who viciously beat and robbed an elderly woman at an ATM in Aurora over the summer will spend 18 more days in jail.
Terrance Rocks, 35, pleaded guilty to one count of robbery in Newmarket court on Friday for the violent July incident that left 81-year-old Mary Rivas with a black and blue shattered face and broken ribs.
Justice Amit Ghosh sentenced Rock on Friday to six months in jail for the attack and theft, but because of enhanced credit for time spent in pre-trial custody he will be freed Dec. 5 and placed on probation for 36 months.
The sentence was in the bottom range of what Ghosh could have imposed.
The defense argued on Dec. 10 that Rocks should have been freed on that day with time served so he could get into a rehab program.
Rocks — who was wanted by Subdury police at the time he attacked Rivas — said he only targeted the senior because he was "dope sick" and needed money for crack cocaine and alcohol.
Ghosh's ruling said he accepted Rock's addiction played a role in the offence.
"The need to deter and denounce Mr. Rocks and others from praying on more senior members of our community is high and reflects the primary consideration on sentence," Ghosh wrote.
Rivas, who fought Rocks with everything she had at the ATM, originally wanted him to do hard time, but she her stance mellowed leading up to sentencing.
At one point during the sentencing phase she crossed the court room to comfort Rocks' upset mother who was in tears.
She said she felt bad for a mother who has a bad son.
"I just want him to get the help he needs," Rivas said.


I exist! I am conceived to the chimes of midnight on the clock on the mantelpiece in the room across the hall. The clock once belonged to my great-grandmother (a woman called Alice) and its tired chime counts me into the world. I'm begun on the first stroke and finished on the last when my father rolls off my mother and is plunged into dreamless sleep, thanks to the five pints of John Smith's Best Bitter he has drunk in the Punch Bowl with his friends, Walter and Bernard Belling. At the moment at which I moved from nothingness into being my mother was pretending to be asleep – as she often does at such moments. My father, however, is made of stern stuff and he didn't let that put him off.

It is evident in our literary and media culture that the idea of selling one's soul to the devil is a commonly used storyline. Take a look at "Young Goodman Brown" or "The Devil and Tom Walker" for classic early American literature examples of this Faustian theme in America. Tune in to a re-run of "The Devil's Advocate" or even the short-lived "666 Park Avenue" to see this theme play out on television today.
And what of music? Many influential writers have written songs referencing the devil, perhaps most notably that Rolling Stones hit "Sympathy for the Devil." However, many of your young scholars may not have heard of Delta bluesman Robert Johnson, whose mysterious life and untimely death been deemed a "real" case of selling one's soul in American folklore.
Robert Johnson, often considered the grandfather of rock and roll, only recorded 29 songs before his early death. Six of those songs centered around deals or pacts with the devil. Johnson used to practice his music while sitting on gravestones in a country church and this may be how his reputation for selling his soul began. No doubt about it; he played well, almost too well in the eyes of some musicians, which led them to claim that Johnson had conspired with the devil, signing away his soul for musical talent.
This rumor was further fueled when Johnson died at a young age, directly after a nightclub performance. While the cause of death was listed as poison, he was poisoned by the husband of a woman he had been seeing. Many claimed that it was indeed the devil who slipped him the mickey, as it were, and came to take his soul away to hell. One cannot listen to Johnson's haunting and hell-hounded music without wondering, in the back of the mind, if the legend could possibly be true.
So, as yourself, and your students, what do they believe? Download the PowerPoint here and have fun discussing this legend with your class.

Prisons in Tunisia: inertia of a repressive system
In Tunisia, the actors of the penal chain tend to perpetuate the repressive reflexes of the former Ben Ali regime. Prison overcrowding remains very high: around 131% rate of occupation with 23,607 prisoners at the end of 2020 (accused and convicted together) for around 18,000 places available, resulting in detention conditions below international standards.
Legal clinics to support access to justice during pandemic
Throughout the world, the pandemic has pushed people further away from access to justice. In Morocco, ASF has been relying for several years on legal clinics, set up in universities, to promote access to justice, particularly for people in vulnerable situations. Under the supervision of teachers and legal professionals, students provide legal services to the population.
Between walls – Mohamed Ramsis Ayari "The real bête noir in prison is overcrowding"
(Nederlands) In het kader van het project "Alternative", gefinancierd door de Europese Unie en uitgevoerd door ASF en ATL MST SIDA, streeft de Association des Juristes de Sfax naar de modernisering van het penitentiaire en strafrechtelijke systeem in Tunesië. Door middel van verschillende pleitbezorgings- en bewustmakingsactiviteiten met magistraten en gevangenispersoneel in Sfax werkt de vereniging vanuit het algemene streven om de overbevolking in de gevangenissen in Tunesië te verminderen, door met name alternatieven voor gevangenisstraffen uit te werken.
Promoting access to justice through community-based mediation programs
In Uganda, access to justice is limited by the financial resources of local populations but also by the geographical distance to the courts of law. In this context, ASF focuses on the training of community-based mediators to promote access to justice and enable local populations to claim their rights.
Press release – NGOs call out to Perenco: end the opacity to tackle the multinational's impunity
In a letter made public today, Sherpa, Friends of the Earth France and Avocats sans Frontières call the oil company Perenco S.A out. Our associations denounce the opacity of Perenco group's organization and operation, as well as the absence of any information on the way the French company takes into account the social and environmental consequences of its activities abroad. While its activities are regularly criticized for their negative impacts on the environment and human rights, the multinational seems to be favoring this opacity, which would allow it to continue operating with impunity.
Reparation to victims of international crimes in the Democratic Republic of Congo, a major challenge in the fight against impunity
ASF has been active in the fight against impunity and the field of international justice for over 15 years in the DRC. During that time, the organization has witnessed great progress but regrets that current mechanisms are still not up to the challenges at stake.

Djugu killings: Significant evolution of Congolese jurisprudence on reparations
The Djugu 2 trial came to an end on 1 April 2021. It concluded with 21 defendants being sentenced to life imprisonment for crimes against humanity by murder, arson, destruction, pillaging and persecution, and 11 defendants being acquitted. The 219 civil parties were also granted most of their claims for reparations, both individual and collective, including rehabilitation measures, thus breaking with the practice of awarding only damages.
Patrick Henry : "In a growing number of countries, the very notion of human rights is being challenged."

Михаи́л Константи́нович Ла́птев (7 февраля 1885, Пермь, Пермская губерния, Российская империя — 6 октября 1948, Ашхабад, Туркменская ССР, СССР) — советский учёный, зоолог, биогеограф, педагог (профессор, 1945), музейный работник. Заслуженный деятель науки Туркменской ССР (1945).

Биография
Михаил Лаптев родился 7 февраля 1885 года в городе Перми Пермской губернии Российской империи, в семье купца-старообрядца Лаптева Константина Артемьевича  и его жены Ольги Андреевны. Имел брата и шесть сестер. .

Окончил Вятскую мужскую гимназию.

В 1904 году поступил на естественное отделение физико-математического факультета Казанского университета, которое окончил в 1910 году по специальности «зоология» со степенью кандидата естественных наук, защитив работу «Развитие и строение иглы у Erinaceus europaeus» (1910).

С 10 ноября 1911 года служил в ведомстве Министерства народного просвещения Российской империи.

С 9 февраля 1912 года работал в Челябинске преподавателем естествоведения, физики и географии в женской гимназии. Одновременно занимался научными изысканиями, написал ряд статей: «К постановке курса методики естествознания в 8 классе Челябинской женской гимназии» (1913), «Гидрофауна озера Горького Челябинского уезда» (1912), «Ихтиофауна р. Миасс» (1913), «Список пауков с. Казанского Челябинского уезда» (1913), однако их рукописи были утеряны во время Первой мировой войны.

В 1913 году активно поддерживал И. М. Крашенинникова в его начинании по созданию местного естественно-исторического общества и стал действительным членом Уральского общества любителей естествознания (УОЛЕ).

В 1914—1917 годах служил в русской армии. Вернувшись в Челябинск, продолжил работу в женской гимназии и реальном училище. Из-за гражданской войны вынужден был уехать из города, в Томскую губернию. Работал ректором народного университета в Томске, директором Томского естественно-исторического музея, затем научным сотрудником I разряда и старшим преподавателем Среднеазиатского государственного университета в Ташкенте (1921).

Был руководителем Среднеазиатского зоологического сада (1927—1929).

В 1929 году описал новый для науки вид — сарезскую белозубку (Crocidura serezkyensis). Своё название эта землеройка получила в честь типового местонахождения — Сарезского или Серезского озера

В 1930 году возглавил кафедру зоологии в зооветеринарном институте в столице Туркменской ССР — городе Ашхабаде, а в 1934 году — кафедру зоологии в Туркменском педагогическом институте, где и проработал до самой смерти. Участвовал в создании музея и научно-исследовательской зоологической станции при кафедре, а также в организации издания «Трудов» станции.

В 1940 году возглавил зоологическую секцию Туркменского филиала Академии наук СССР, был председателем секции биогеографии Ашхабадского отделения Всесоюзного географического общества (ВГО).

В 1945 году был утверждён в звании профессора.

Погиб 6 октября 1948 года в возрасте шестидесяти трёх лет во время землетрясения в Ашхабаде, одного из самых разрушительных землетрясений в истории человечества.

В 1985 году в Туркменской ССР было отмечено 100-летие со дня рождения Михаила Лаптева.

Osteopontin (-{OPN}-), takođe poznat kao koštani sialoprotein -{I (BSP-1)}-, rani T-limfocit aktivator (-{ETA}--1), i izlučeni fosfoprotein 1 (-{SPP1}-), je produkt ljudskog SPP1 gena,. Ovaj protein je konzerviran kod niza drugih vrsta. Osteopontin je -{SIBLING}- glikoprotein koji je prvi put bio identifikovan 1986 godine u osteoblastima.

Prefiks osteo indicira da je ovaj protein izražen u kostima, mada je on takođe izražen i u drugim tkivima. Sufiks -pontin je izveden iz , most, čime se označava uloga osteopontina u vezivanju proteina. Osteopontin je ekstracelularni strukturni protein. On je organska komponenta kostiju. Sinonimi za ovaj protein su sialoprotein -{I}- i 44 K -{BPP}- (koštani fosfoprotein).

Njegov gen ima 7 eksona, sadrži 5 -{kb}-. Kod ljudi je lociran na hromozomu 4. Ovaj protein se sastoji od ~300 aminokiselinskih ostataka i ima ~30 vezanih ugljeno hidratnih ostataka uključujući 10 ostataka sijalinske kiseline. Ugljeno hidratni ostaci su vezani za protein tokom posttranslacionih modifikacija u Goldžijevom aparatu. Ovaj protein je bogat u kiselim ostacima: 30-36% su bilo aspartična ili glutaminska kiselina.

Struktura

Generalna struktura

-{OPN}- je jako negativno naelektrisani protein ekstracelularnog matriksa koji nema ekstenzivnu sekundarnu strukturu. On se sastoji od oko 300 aminokiselina (297 kod miša; 314 kod čoveka) i on je izražen kao 33 -{kDa}- nascentni protein. On sadrži nekoliko funkcionalno važnih mesta rascepa. -{OPN}- je podložan posttranslacionim modifikacijama koje povećavaju njegovu molekulsku težinu do oko 44 -{kDa}-.

Izoforme

-{OPN}- može biti modifikovan trombinskim presecanjem, što izlaže sekvencu -{SVVYGLR}-. Taj protein je poznat kao -{OPN-R}-. On poseduje epitop za integrin receptore α4β1, α9β1, i α9β4. Ova grupa integrin receptora je prisutna na mnogobrojnim imunskim ćelijama kao što su mast ćelije, neutrofili, i T ćelije. Oni su takođe izraženi na monocitima i makrofagama. Nakon vezivanja tih receptora, ćelije koriste nekoliko puteva transdukcije signala da izazovu imunski respons. -{OPN-R}- može biti dalje razložen carboksipeptidazom B (-{CPB}-) odstranjivanjem C-terminalnog arginina, čime se formira -{OPN-L}-. Funkcija -{OPN-L}- proteina nije dovoljno poznata.

Biosinteza

Biosinteza osteopontina se odvija u varijetetu tkiva koji obuhvata: fibroblaste preosteoblaste, osteoblaste, osteocite, odontoblaste, neke ćelije kičmene moždine, hipertrofne hondrocite, dendritske ćelije, makrofage, glatke mišiće, mioblaste skeletalnih mušića, endotelne ćelije, non-koštane ćelije u unutrašnjem uvu, mozak, bubreg, decidua, i placenta. Sinteza osteopontina je stimulisana kalcitriolom (1,25-dihidroksi-vitaminom D3).

Biološka funkcija

Uloga u preoblikovanju kostiju

Ustanovljeno je da je osteopontin važan faktor u preoblikovanju kostiju. Specifično, istraživanja sugerišu da on igra važnu ulogu u fiksiranju osteoklasta za mineralni matriks kostiju. Organski deo kosti sačinjava oko 20% njihove suve težine. Njega sačinjavaju pored osteopontina, kolagen tip -{I}-, osteokalcin, osteonektin, koštani sialoprotein i alkalne fosfataze. Kolagen tip -{I}- sačinjava 90% proteinske mase. Neorganski deo kosti je mineral hidroksiapatit, -{Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2}-. Gubitak tog minerala može da dovede do osteoporoze.

-{OPN}- je inicijator procesa kojim osteoklasti razvijaju njihovu naboranu površinu da bi započeli koštanu resorpciju. On je takođe nađen u urinu, gde inhibira formiranje kamena u bubregu.

Uloga u imunskim funkcijama

-{OPN}- se vezuje za nekoliko integrin receptora (α4β1, α9β1, i α9β4) koji su izraženi na leukocitima. Ti receptori imaju dobro poznatu funkciju u ćelijskoj adheziji, migraciji, i opstanku leukocita. Nedavna istraživanja su bila usredsređena na -{OPN}- ulogu u posredovanju tih responsa.

Osteopontin je izražen u nizu imunskih ćelija, uključujući makrofage, neutrofile, dendritske ćelije, T ćelije|T i B ćelije, mada u različitoj meri. Na osnovu nekih izveštaja -{OPN}- dejstvuje kao imunski modulator na više načina. Primarni oblik njegovog dejstva je hemotaksa, kojom se promoviše ćelijsko regrutovanje na mesta inflamacije. On takođe funkcioniše kao adhezioni protein, koji doprinosi ćelijskom pričvršćavanju i zarastanju rana. Dodatno, -{OPN}- posreduje ćelijsku aktivaciju i produkciju citokina, i podstiče ćelijski opstanak putem regulacije apoptoze.

Hemotaksa

-{OPN}- ima važnu ulogu u regrutovanju neutrofila u oboljenju jetre alkoholičara. -{OPN}- je važan za migraciju neutrofila -{in vitro}-. Dodatno, -{OPN}- regrutuje inflamatorne ćelije u artritične zglobove u kolagen-indukovanom artritičnom modelu reumatoidnog artritisa. Nedavne in vitro studije, 2008, su ustanovile da -{OPN}- učestvuje u migraciji mast ćelija. U ovim eksperimentima -{OPN}- nokaut mast ćelije su bile kultivisane. Primećen je umanjen nivo hemotakse u tim ćelijama u poređenju sa normalnim mast ćelijama. Za -{OPN}- je takođe nađeno da dejstvuje kao hemoatraktivni faktor makrofaga. U ovoj studiji, istraživači su studirali akumulaciju makrofaga u mozgu resus majmuna i ustanovili su da -{OPN}- sprečava makrofage da napuste mesta akumulacije, što indicira povišeni nivo hemotakse.

Q: How can I attach a file from SharePoint document library to an item in a SharePoint list (javascript)? In my current project I have encountered an interesting problem. I am trying to attach multiple files (pdf's, doc's etc. not only text files) to my SharePoint List, getting them from a document library. Problem is, when I use methods like get_web(), get_lists() etc. ending at get_file() from my current SP.ListItem, the type of file is SP.File (which is pretty obvious). In search for a solution I found this kind of method that uses SPServices:
http://www.bjw.co.nz/developer/sharepoint-2010/1188-spservices-addattachment-jquery-example
Here is the code:
    function handleFileChange(listName,itemId,files){
    var filereader = {},
        file = {},
        i=0;

    //loop over each file selected
    for(i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
        file = files[i];

        filereader = new FileReader();
        filereader.filename = file.name;

        filereader.onload = function() {
            var data = this.result,
                n=data.indexOf(";base64,") + 8;

            //removing the first part of the dataurl give us the base64 bytes we need to feed to sharepoint
            data= data.substring(n);

            $().SPServices({
                operation: "AddAttachment",
                listName: listName,
                asynch: false,
                listItemID:itemId,
                fileName: this.filename,
                attachment: data,
                completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
                    console.log('attachment upload complete',xData,status);
                }
            });
        };

        filereader.onabort = function() {
            alert("The upload was aborted.");
        };

        filereader.onerror = function() {
            alert("An error occured while reading the file.");
        };

        //fire the onload function giving it the dataurl
        filereader.readAsDataURL(file);
    }
};

To use this solution I need to have an object of type File, not SP.File. My question is, how  can I get the actual file from a SharePoint document library to complete my task? I couldn't find an answer anywhere, so even the smallest hint will be appreciated.

A: OK here is how to proceed (based on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7370943/retrieving-binary-file-content-using-javascript-base64-encode-it-and-reverse-de):
// get the remote file binary content
function getBinary(file, callback) {
  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.open("GET", file, true);
  xhr.overrideMimeType("text/plain; charset=x-user-defined")
  xhr.onreadystatechange = function (aEvt) {
    if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
      if(xhr.status == 200) {
        callback(xhr.responseText);
      } else {
        console.log("Cannot find the remote file")
      }
    }
  };
  xhr.send(null);
}

// convert the file content to a Base64 string
function base64Encode(str) {
  var CHARS = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/";
  var out = "", i = 0, len = str.length, c1, c2, c3;
  while (i < len) {
    c1 = str.charCodeAt(i++) & 0xff;
    if (i == len) {
      out += CHARS.charAt(c1 >> 2);
      out += CHARS.charAt((c1 & 0x3) << 4);
      out += "==";
      break;
    }
    c2 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
    if (i == len) {
      out += CHARS.charAt(c1 >> 2);
      out += CHARS.charAt(((c1 & 0x3)<< 4) | ((c2 & 0xF0) >> 4));
      out += CHARS.charAt((c2 & 0xF) << 2);
      out += "=";
      break;
    }
    c3 = str.charCodeAt(i++);
    out += CHARS.charAt(c1 >> 2);
    out += CHARS.charAt(((c1 & 0x3) << 4) | ((c2 & 0xF0) >> 4));
    out += CHARS.charAt(((c2 & 0xF) << 2) | ((c3 & 0xC0) >> 6));
    out += CHARS.charAt(c3 & 0x3F);
  }
  return out;
}

getBinary('http://your.site.com/879258.jpeg', function(binary) {
  var data = base64Encode(binary);
  // add the Base64 string version of the remote file to the list item
  $().SPServices({
    webURL: "http://your.site.com/",
    operation: "AddAttachment",
    listName: "List 1",
    async: true,
    listItemID: 315,
    fileName: "879258.jpg",
    attachment: data,
    completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
      console.log('attachment upload complete',xData,status);
    }
  });
})

I tried it and it worked!


Market launch of a new sustainable insulated package solution on a straw and corrugated cardboard basis for the trade with cooled foods.
Remshalden/Stuttgart, 28 September 2015 – The Klingele Group, one of the leading independent manufacturers of corrugated raw paper and cardboard packaging has entered a strategic partnership with the mechanical engineering company Landpack. Together they will focus on the production of environmentally-friendly shipping packaging. Recent years have seen the Klingele Group advance to becoming one of the leading providers of sustainable packaging solutions for online trading. In co-operating with Landpack, the producer of innovative straw-based insulation packaging, Klingele has decided to expand into the cooled food items packaging sector.
Mail order has experienced considerable growth in recent years. Klingele develops packaging solutions for the individual requirements of this branch, which cover the central requirements of product safety and material-use efficiency. In so doing, Klingele supports the business model of the online sellers, enabling them to save resources, thereby minimising costs. Examples of this include the packaging concepts FastFix, which works entirely without filling material and ClickFix, which secures its contents via an especially-effective click closure. Klingele also provides logistics and consultation services for the optimisation of packaging processes, machine concepts and in-house logistics.
The new co-operation with Landpack has been made as a result of the increasing growth in online food purchases. Landpack has developed an insulating packaging made of straw panels, which is combined with Klingele corrugated cardboard to form high-performance and environmentally-friendly dispatch packaging. The Landbox® was specially designed to meet the needs of those dispatching fresh and cooled food and represents the first environmentally-friendly alternative to polystyrene packaging. The use of straw also cushions shock-sensitive goods and enables their safe delivery.
Landpack Managing director Dr Thomas Maier-Eschenlohr: "Straw represents the ideal insulating material - it is hygienic, attractive and fitted with a hi-tech bio-polymer structure. We aim to find new uses for what is currently a neglected material."
Sustainability, resource and energy-efficiency characterise not only the Landbox, but also its production and disposal. The Landpack insulating panels are produced in a carbon-neutral fashion. Pure straw is processed in a low-energy and food items-appropriate fashion without the addition of extra materials. As an agricultural by-product, it is perfectly-suited for use in the Landbox and later can be disposed as compost. The manufacture of the Landbox requires a fraction of the energy required for the production of its polystyrene alternative. The straw panels are encased with a 100% recyclable Klingele corrugated cardboard box. These can be fully recycled and are returned to the production process. The whole packaging concept protects scarce natural resources and saves trouble with disposal.
"We have many years of experience in the development of tailormade sustainable packaging solutions and know the branch requirements very well," thus Dr. Jan Klingele, managing director of the Klingele Group. "The launch of the Landbox comes at the ideal time, therefore is able to meet the growing need from online traders and customers for a new environmentally-friendly packaging method for goods requiring protection from blows and specific temperature requirements. I am therefore confident that the concept will enjoy resonance on the market and anticipate every success for our new collaboration with Landpack."
The Landbox will be presented at the Klingele stand at this year's FachPack (29.9.-1.10. 2015, Nuremberg, hall 7, stand 138).
Located in Pucheim, close to Munich, Landpack® develops and markets production systems for the manufacture of innovative straw-based insulating packaging. The Landbox® is the first environmentally-friendly plant-based insulation packaging produced in an entirely climate-neutral fashion and which can be disposed of in the organic waste. It produces the insulation performance of a polystyrene box. Landpack monitors every process step from cereal cultivation through harvesting, all the way to straw processing in order to guarantee consistent quality.

How was Ciara As Host - The American Music Awards?
TOPIC: How was Ciara As Host - The American Music Awards?
How was Ciara As Host - The American Music Awards?	1 month 3 weeks ago	#401235
RealMsH
Did you get a chance to watch the American Music Awards? I did not watch it live, but caught it, with lots of commercials (lol) on Hulu. I planned to watch it on Hulu instead of live which was a daunting decision. Days after the awards show aired, I steadfastly stayed off news sites, etc. on the internet so it would not be spoiled for me.
Whew! I think I made it two whole days without seeing any news about the awards show which was a feat on and unto itself. So I was able to watch it streaming without any prior knowledge of what happened. What a relief.
I will not discuss the complete show, but will narrow it down to how Ciara did hosting the show. Did she do good, bad, or indifferent? Without further ado, here's my opinion of Ciara as host of the American Music Awards, which aired on ABC live on Sunday, November 24, 2019.
Ciara Dances
Was it just me or did it seem as if she was doing a dance routine she has done many times before. I saw her show-stopping dance routine where she was in all white at another awards show and was expecting something of the same calibre here. Unfortunately, I did not get it. On the plus side, her dances were energetic.
In my opinion, she did not "bring it" to the American Music Awards. Not only did her dances have a "sameness" about them, but her set was not as memorable as I expected. During one number, she was lowered to the stage before she performed -- but that was it. I think the opening number/dance should have been more spectacular.
Ciara Dress Changes
I expected as much for Ciara, since she seems to always be impeccably dressed when she appears on talk shows. Looking back, there was no outfit that stood out for me. I liked the way how her hair was styled differently whenever she appeared, but again, the dresses, outfits to me were forgetful.
Ciara's Attention to Audience
Unfortunately, Ciara seemed like her attention was elsewhere instead of making sure the audience was having a good time. It was smart of the show to have lots of different presenters because Ciara failed at keeping their attention. I recall when she was asking her kids how was she doing as host. There's nothing wrong with that, but an even better question would have been how am I doing keeping the audience engaged and happy.
Assessment of Ciara as host of the American Music Awards
There was a lot that could have been improved upon in my opinion. Of course, Ciara does not face the brunt of the blame for this, but for the most part, she seemed like an after-thought instead of the main host of the awards show. In fact, I do not recall her mentioning at any one time how well someone performed or anything that would have connected her more to the show.
Recommendations for Ciara
First and foremost, the American Music Awards is an entertainment show. There were lots of acts that were show-stoppers. However, Ciara as "host" was not one of those. My advice to her staff and team is to make her appearances more memorable in some way instead of a footnote. Also, keep the energy up and for next time (if there is one), make the American Music Awards a show to remember when it was hosted by Ciara.
Lights! Camera! Action!

Can I Be Prosecuted for Listing Crimes on My SF-86?
Let's say hypothetically that you stole some items from a store and managed to escape the premises undetected. (Which, to be clear, I am not advocating) Weeks go by without police contact, meaning it is a fairly safe bet that your identity has not been discovered.
Now fast-forward a year. You never did get caught, but you suddenly decide to write a letter to the police detailing the crime. You provide them with your date of birth, your social security number, your home address, and sign the letter under penalty of perjury. You drop the letter in the mail and wait for the inevitable knock at the door.
Guilty conscience or spiritual awakening aside, this scenario likely seems far-fetched. Very few people would voluntarily admit to a crime, much less do so without the context of a plea bargain in criminal court. But to be clear, that is exactly what some security clearance applicants do on their SF-86.
The general wisdom seems to be that federal security clearance adjudicators read reports of investigation in a vacuum. I've actually heard someone say, "What happens in OPM-land stays in OPM-land." Setting aside the horribly cheesy Las Vegas analogy, the absurdity of such a comment truly amazes me. On one hand, there is some surprising truth to it: federal policy has generally been that admissions of unreported criminal conduct made by an applicant in the course of their background investigation will not be reported for prosecution. On the other hand, there is a major difference between "can't" and "won't." I, for one, would never advise my clients to rely on the latter.
The fact of the matter is that there really is no legal impediment to using an applicant's admissions of unreported criminal conduct against the applicant in a subsequent criminal prosecution. The Federal Rules of Evidence and every state evidence code of which I'm aware has provisions specifically for using a defendant's prior admissions against him. Such admissions are generally considered exclusions to the prohibition against hearsay evidence in court; it is effectively as though the applicant made the incriminating admission directly on the witness stand. And, while it's highly unlikely that the FBI is trolling SF-86's for undiscovered petty theft or marijuana use, admitting to more major unreported crimes – whether on the SF-86 or to your background investigator – might very well result in a RAP sheet should the winds of bureaucratic policy shift.
The issue is surprisingly prevalent. As a former OPM investigator, I had security clearance applicants admit to me all manner of unreported felonies: domestic violence, insurance fraud, computer hacking, and immigration fraud. And those are just the ones I remember. To this day I am still unsure whether some of my subjects even realized that they were admitting to a crime. Either way, the admissions ran the gamut from bizarre (the guy who regularly spanked his wife for "misbehaving") to alarming (the guy who effectively admitted to keeping a domestic slave).
Question – is the job more important than your 5th amendment rights?
My intent in writing this article is not to encourage applicants to hide information from their background investigator or to perjure themselves. To the contrary: dishonesty is one of the top disqualifiers for security clearance applicants, and for good reason. (It is also a crime itself during the security clearance process). My intent is simply to highlight the choice that all applicants with prior undiscovered criminal conduct must seriously consider: whether the job they are seeking is more important than the preservation of the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Once an admission of guilt is made, it is very hard to recant the confession.
Candidates who have concerns about this issue are strongly advised to consult a qualified security clearance attorney before submitting their SF-86. You might not get the job, but you just might get to keep your freedom.

AK-47 designer regrets rifle's misuse
NEW DELHI, April 16 -- The Russian designer of the dreaded AK-47 automatic assault rifle, Gen. Mikhail Kalshinkov says he regrets the 'misuse' of the weapon. Kalshinkov on Wednesday said he had designed the deadly weapon for use by armies and security agencies, therefore, he was not responsible for the misuse of the gun by terrorists and insurgents world-over.
The Avtomat Kalashinkov, or AK-47, was produced in 1947. Since then, many versions of the rifle, like AK-52, AK-56, AK-72 and AK-74 have entered the market. He says: 'It is not a device of aggression...it is a means of securing peace ...it should be in the safe hands of defense personnel and I feel sad when I hear of its misuse.' He says, 'I had designed the AK-47 to ensure peace since the common man always wants peace.' Kalashinkov is visiting India to inaugurate the India International Civil and Defense Equipment Systems Exhibition. Kalashinkov says the idea of making the AK-47 was born in a hospital bed. After suffering wounds at the hands of invading Nazi forces during the World War II, Kalashinkov thought of designing an assault rifle. He says 'had there been no world war, I would have designed some agricultural tools.' ---

4 Innovative Technologies That Could Change Everything
16th March 2021	0	By Jamie Francis
Innovation is the wellspring of human development, whether it's innovating new ways of thinking or new ways of manipulating the world around. The most tangible evidence of innovation is often technology. New devices and their potentials often lead to people investing in technology because of their immense commercial value. Some technologies vastly improve the way the world work, such as the moving assembly line.
However, there are occasionally new technologies that don't just improve the world; they revolutionize huge facets of it. These are known as disruptive technologies, and there are more and more of them cropping up in recent years.
What are Disruptive Technologies?
Not every technology has the potential to change the world in great ways. For example, the Nightbot app maybe very useful, but it's hardly a gamechanger. Disruptive technologies are those innovations that radically change the way an entire industry works. Occasionally, these technologies may also alter the very way an entire country or even human society works. These technologies used to be relatively rare.
At the start of the 20th century, disruptive technologies included the airplane, mass-produced automobiles and perhaps one or two electrical innovations. However, the relentless march of technological progress has made it possible for people to develop industry-changing innovations faster than ever.
Technological Innovations Developing Now
In the past 20 years, more than enough innovations have radically changed how the world works than in the past hundred years. Smartphones have made portable computing more accessible than ever while the internet has developed into a microcosm of human society.
Below are some of the latest innovations that can change the world in the next few years.
Self-driving cars and autonomous vehicles have been a part of vision of the future for decades, ever since speculative fiction in the 40s. Autonomous vehicles can perform deliveries without tiring human drivers, swoop in to prevent traffic disasters and act as a security measure for human operators.
All these benefits have made developing a fully functional autonomous vehicle the Holy Grail of car companies everywhere. More than 40 companies all over the world, including Tesla, Apple and Uber, are developing their own autonomous vehicles. If these companies are successful, self-driving cars could deal a significant blow to the trucking and taxi industry. But they can also mean a world of difference to people who have a hard time driving, such as the elderly or the disabled.
Technology continues to blur the lines between the digital and the physical worlds. Already, social media platforms and the internet have turned into reflections of the real world, often skewed in different ways. However, rather than bringing the real world into the digital world, some developments have sought to bring the digital into the physical.
Augmented reality superimposes digital enhancements on the real world through cameras or visors. This is often used for gaming, but also for construction and different industries. Experts have suggested that augmented reality for different businesses. Augmented reality can help people visualize the world in different ways and change how they perceive their environment.
Computers have gotten progressively smarter in the past decades. From room-spanning ENIACs to micro transistor-powered smartphones, the capabilities of computers have increased with each iteration. Their continued evolution how hinges of whether computers can actually begin to learn on their own, an advancement that will mark the true beginnings of artificial intelligence.
This can revolutionize how the modern world works, from military software, to cybersecurity and data analysis. Artificial intelligence can help improve systems, spot errors in programming and data human handlers can't detect and offer purely logical solutions to problems. It's no wonder that experts estimate that global funding for the development of artificial intelligence is expected to reach more than $190 billion by 2025.
Commercial Drones
Drones are either associated with military strikes or with aerial photography. Either way, their use is very limited to civilians, meaning that market is very niche. However, developments with drone technology have begun exploring what these mechanical flyers care capable off.
Some people have theorized that long-range commercial drones can deliver packages across neighborhoods, like the owls in "Harry Potter." This means less fossil fuel use and fewer cars or courier bikes on the streets. Drones are already getting more and more advanced, with internet connectivity and longer battery life among the most recent developments. Ina few years, who knows what kind of business opportunities these feisty flyers can represent?
Necessity may be the mother of invention, but it pales in comparison to demand. Market demand can change the way technologies work, but more often than not, its the technologies themselves that can alter the world. Keeping an eye on these 4 upcoming developments can be the key to your success.

Welcome to Adaptivemall.com, where our team of therapists and experts are on hand to help you find top-quality adaptive equipment based on the needs of your child. This page is designed to help you find the appropriate tools, therapy equipment and everyday essentials for adults and children with special needs, including expertly designed equipment to aid in sitting, standing, transportation, walking, lying down, sensory integration, balance, crawling, bathing and more. Let's face it — many of us don't know the names of specific special needs equipment, so shopping by need is often a simpler solution.
When exploring our selection, ask yourself what specifically your child or family member needs assistance with. For many, it's stationery activities such as eating, playing or doing homework. In these cases, we recommend exploring our selection of special needs seats, standers or mobile standers with wheels that allow for extra freedom and movement. You might need solutions that serve several needs, such as an adjustable seat and stander in one. When you click on each category, you can explore by more specific needs. For example, when shopping for standing support, you'll find equipment to aid in front and back support, mobility and more.
Adaptivemall.com was founded by a licensed pediatric physical therapist, Katie Bergeron Peglow, who grew up with a sister with special needs. Peglow and the entire Adaptivemall.com family have a deep understanding of the importance of quality adaptive equipment — it is often the component that allows those with special needs to explore, flourish and grow in spite of challenges. The best part about shopping with us is that we understand the deep needs of families and caregivers, and we'll always do our best to ensure that you get the ideal products to help meet your child's goals.
