"A superb film noir in every way possible."
A superb film noir in every way possible, especially under the crisp direction by Henry Hathaway bringing into play bits and pieces from other film noirs and the fine location black and white photography by Joe MacDonald giving the film a menacing look. It's taken from a story by Leo Rosten, while the taut screenplay is by Jay Dratler and Bernard Schoenfeld. The film's title comes from the Sam Spade-like private eye whose tough-guy persona is cracking as he tells his nurturing secretary "There goes my last lead. I feel all dead inside. I'm backed up in a dark corner and I don't know who's hitting me." Perhaps the quote that comes from the Clifton Webb character best sets the film's dark mood "I hate the dawn. The grass always looks as though it has been left out all night."
Mark Stevens is private eye Bradford Galt, just released from a San Francisco prison where he was framed for a manslaughter rap and served two years in prison. Galt was framed by his shady ex-partner in the detective agency, Tony Jardine (Kurt Kreuger), a shyster lawyer and a womanizer who is not only a blackmailer but stole money from the firm. Galt is now a NYC private eye, who is being kept tabs on by a suspicious Lt. Frank Reeves. While spending a night out with his new adoring and loyal secretary Kathleen (Lucille Ball), Galt observes that he's being followed by a man in a white suit (William Bendix) for no apparent reason. We will later learn the muscleman was hired by an effete art dealer, Hardy Cathcart, played by Clifton Webb in an almost duplication of his cultured smarmy role in Laura. Hardy has learned that his beautiful trophy wife Mari is having an affair with Jardine, a close business associate, and before she can run away with her lover Hardy schemes to have Galt kill Jardine. White Suit secretly arranges for Galt to come to Jardine's pad after it has been established that Jardine put a tail on him, but instead of killing his nemesis Galt only gives him a beating. Hardy then has his San Francisco hit man, White Suit, kill Jardine in Galt's apartment with a fireplace poker and make it look like Galt did it for revenge as he plants the poker in the knocked unconscious P.I.'s hand. When Galt wakes up, he hides the body underneath his bed. It's discovered later in the week by the cleaning woman. Running from the police, the perplexed private detective is helped by Kathleen. They track down where White Suit lives after figuring out Jardine had no reason to tail Galt, but White Suit would certainly know who put the tail on him and probably would know why they did it. But before Galt can catch up with White Suit, the sleaze meets his Maker when pushed out of the 31st floor window of the Grant Building by the double-crosser Hardy. Through another puzzling clue offered by a little girl who heard White Suit on the hallway phone, Galt goes to the Cathcart Gallery on 5th Avenue. Here, in this world of high culture, proletarian Galt confronts the sophisticated villain and his grief-stricken wife over the death of her lover. The stoical Galt shows resolve, as the situation is settled when an embittered Mari pumps her hubby full of lead while he's gabbing away with his heater pointed at the detective slob.
The talented cast all gave superb performances: Lucy shunning her later comic fame for a likable straight romantic lead part that goes with some amusing wisecracking, Bendix makes for a scary and oily thug, Kreuger as a snake-like Teutonic demon creeping around the shadowy rooms of the wealthy, Webb is perfect as the obsessed hubby and art collector taken over by his dark side and becoming the purveyor of a warped culture and love, and Stevens gives a finely tuned performance as the vulnerable hard-boiled noir hero grateful to be coddled by his good gal secretary in his moment of greatest need.

Q: Symfony / Doctrine: OneToMany insert results in null id I have two entities that I'm trying to apply a OneToMany / ManyToOne relationship to (one Game has many GameContent).
Game
/**
 * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="GameContent", mappedBy="game")
 */
private $contents;

public function __construct()
{
    $this->contents = new ArrayCollection();
}

public function getContents()
{
    return $this->contents;
}

GameContent
/**
 * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Game", inversedBy="contents")
 */
private $game;

And the following code inserts both records into their respective tables:
$game = $form->getData();
$content = new GameContent();
$content->setType('some type');
$game->getContents()->add($content);

$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($content);
$em->persist($game);
$em->flush();

However, the GameContent's game_id is inserted as null:
INSERT INTO game_content (type, game_id) VALUES (?, ?)
Parameters: { 1: 'some type', 2: null }

I've also tried:

*

*changing the order of persist()

*replacing $game->getContents()->add($content) with $game->addContents($content) by doing $this->contents[] = $content;

*removing persist($content) and having cascade={"persist"} on the Game entity.

Why is game_id being inserted as null?

My current workaround is:
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

$game = $form->getData();
$em->persist($game);

$content = new GameContent();
$content->setType('some type');
$content->setGame($game);
$em->persist($content);

$em->flush();

A: You have 2 solutions :
Persist children in controller
Without cascade={"persist"}
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

// Get data
$game = $form->getData();

// Create new GameContent and hydrate
$content = new GameContent();
$content->setType('some type');

// Associate Game <> GameContent
$content->setGame($game);

// Persist GameContent
$em->persist($content);

// Persist Game and commit
$em->persist($game);
$em->flush();

Persist children in cascade
With cascade={"persist"} in OneToMany relation.
Add in setGame() function, to force association :
$game->addContent($this);

And remove persist :
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

// Get data
$game = $form->getData();

// Create new GameContent and hydrate
$content = new GameContent();
$content->setType('some type');

// Associate Game <> GameContent
$content->setGame($game);

// Persist Game and commit
$em->persist($game);
$em->flush();

I think the error was also due to the positioning of the persist on game.

A:
Add in setGame() function, to force association :
$game->addContent($this);

And remove persist :
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();

// Get data
$game = $form->getData();

// Create new GameContent and hydrate
$content = new GameContent();
$content->setType('some type');

// Associate Game <> GameContent
$content->setGame($game);

// Persist Game and commit
$em->persist($game);
$em->flush();

Note that today (Doctrine 2.7.1), the make:entity utility creates methods that does this stuff for you, in your case you would have had a method like this on your Game entity:
public function addContent(GameContent $content): self
{
    $this->contents->add($content);
    $content->setGame($this); // <-- IMPORTANT PART IS HERE

    return $this;
}

Then, calling this on the game would have done the job:
this->addContent((new GameContent())->setType('some type'));

A: Further to the accepted answer, my next step was to create a form to handle the GameContent data, which led to further changes and some simplified logic.
I now setGame() in Game::addContent(), and so I've removed $game->addContent($this); in GameContent::setGame().
Game
/**
 * @var ArrayCollection
 * @ORM\OneToMany(targetEntity="GameContent", mappedBy="game", cascade={"persist"})
 */
private $contents;

public function __construct()
{
    $this->contents = new ArrayCollection();
}

public function getContents()
{
    return $this->contents;
}

public function addContent(GameContent $content)
{
    $this->contents->add($content);
    $content->setGame($this);

    return $this;
}

public function removeContent(GameContent $content)
{
    $this->contents->removeElement($content);

    return $this;
}

GameContent
/**
 * @ORM\ManyToOne(targetEntity="Game", inversedBy="contents")
 */
private $game;

public function setGame(Game $game)
{
    $this->game = $game;

    return $this;
}

/**
 * @return Game
 */
public function getGame()
{
    return $this->game;
}

The real-world form-handling logic will look like this:
$game = $form->getData();
$em = $this->getDoctrine()->getManager();
$em->persist($game);
$em->flush();

Q: watin dll: other équivalents solutions for parsing web page? I  using watin in a wpf c# project for firing clicks on links and parsing pages in   web sites.
It works post part of time but it launchs sometimes exceptions  without raisons ans it is not reallly intuitive .
Do you know équivalents more realiable , intuitive ans with a big community and a good documentation

A: There is one big contender to Watin and it is called Selenium. It is different from Watin and there is a learning curve (you can't just switch to Selenium) but it could suit your needs better (I have VERY stable systems made in Watin and never had an issue with them).
It could help, also, if you post more details about your issue, in the way you asked your question leaves a lot to be desired (what's making it unstable, what portions of the code, what exceptions are you getting, when, etc.)

Diemonds
Band Rock
Share Diemonds's EPK!
In The Rough is a 7 song EP packed full of dirty, gutter rock and punky, glamified retro riffola.
From the dungeons of Gale's Snack Bar came the unholy terror called DIEMONDS. Toronto's Diemonds is a fierce reminder that rock n' roll is very much alive, with one boot in the gutter and the other planted firmly in your face. Gaining notoriety for their incendiary live shows, they were invited to play two years in a row at NXNE without ever applying, because of the buzz created around the live show.. They've played with bands like legendary punks Teenage Head and New York's Semi-Precious Weapons.
Diemonds independently released their debut E.P. "In the Rough" in October '08. The album is seven songs of female-fronted hard rock goodness that has been getting a really good response, especially when coupled with our live show. Smoke machines, wailing guitars and a crowd of rabid rockers really helps us to drive our catchy, blues-based rock & punk home and its the live atmosphere which really allows us to thrive. One of the hardest working bands in the city, they're tight musically and have postered every inch of this town, making the name Diemonds click in a lot of people's minds.
"In the Rough" quickly sold out of its first pressing after receiving killer reviews from both indie and mainstream press, both in Canada and Europe and gaining the backing of the likes of rocker/producer Moe Berg, (The Pursuit of Happiness) who has since recorded a song with Diemonds, and singer Paul Mars Black (LA Guns). Infamous UK sleaze writer/scenester Kelv Hellrazer even featured the band on his radio show "London Calling" on LA's 100.1 The Edge.
MySpace has also helped Diemonds acquire fans all over Canada, United States, Europe and Japan. Seems like the Diemonds Dis-ease is spreading and we want to play shows all over the country and beyond to inject our heavy tunes to the far corners of the earth.
"Residing in the nether-region between '70s glam-punk and '80s hair metal" (Eye Weekly) Diemonds has taken cues from veterans like Guns n' Roses, Aerosmith, and KISS and created their own brand of louder-than-hell, blues-based rock and punk.
Powerhouse Priya Panda takes centre stage on vocals, C.C. Diemond is lead guitar slayer and a thunderous rhythm section is rounded out by Cuzo on bass guitar and Alan "The Yeti" on drums. Rock rag Sleazegrinder called 'em "Young, Tough, & Canadian" and this band of late-night lovin' misfits prove that there ain't no such thing as too loud. Long Live Party Rock!

Q: Solve ODE by change of variable and separation I have come across the following question:
Solve by change of variable and separation:
$(x+y+1)^2 \frac{dy}{dx} + (x+y+1)^2 + x^3 = 0$
I have tried $u=(x+y+1)^2$, $u=(x+y+1)$ and also $u=\frac{y}{x}$ (thinking it was a homogeneous DE), but haven't been able to get to the separation stage. Am I on the right lines, or have I completely missed the substitution?
Many Thanks

A: Your considering $u=x+y+1$ work:
If $x+y+1=0$, then a solution is $y=-x-1$. Else, dividing by $(x+y+1)^2$ gives
$$\frac{dy}{dx}=-1-\frac{x^3}{(x+y+1)^2}.$$
Now put $u=x+y+1$, and we have $\frac{du}{dx}=1+\frac{dy}{dx}$, thus
$$\frac{du}{dx}-1=-1-\frac{x^3}{u^2}$$
or $$\frac{du}{dx}=-\frac{x^3}{u^2}$$
therefore
$$\frac{1}{3}u^3=-\frac{1}{4}x^4+c$$
or $$(x+y+1)^3=-\frac{3}{4}x^4+c.$$

A: Let $x+y+1=v \implies \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dv}{dx}-1$, the ODE becomes
$$v^2(\frac{dv}{dx}-1)+v^2+x^3 \implies v^2\frac{dv}{dx}+x^3=0$$
$$\implies \int v^2 dv+ \int x^3 dx \implies \frac{v^3}{3}+\frac{x^4}{4}=C$$
Hence, $4(x+y+1)^3+3x^3=D$$

With J&K varsities yet to get Chancellor, VC JU assumes top role
on: December 10, 2019 In: Cities & Towns, Jammu, Jammu and Kashmir, Kashmir, Latest News, News, Top J&K News, Top StoriesTags:
JAMMU: With Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir yet to get Chancellor for the public funded universities, Vice Chancellor University of Jammu Prof Manoj K Dhar is all set to assume the top profile by inaugurating the Chancellor's Trophy.
Since the bifurcation of the State of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union Territories of Ladakh and J&K on 31 October this year as per J&K Reogranisation Bill 2017, the public funded varsities are ceased to have Chancellor, who used to be the Governor of the erstwhile state.
President Ram Nath Kovind, in all likelihood, is nominating and appointing the first Lt Governor of the UT of J&K G. C Murmu as the Chancellor of public funded varsities. The presidential communiqué is expected after the ongoing session of Parliament.
Without waiting for the appointment of Chancellor, the JU Vice Chancellor has announced holding of Chancellor's Trophy, a sports event involving the universities. This is seen as unprecedented.
Lt Governor Murmu will also hold the position of Pro-Chancellor, as the Union Territory is currently under presidential rule. He will be bestowed the same powers, which were enjoyed by Governor as Chancellor of the universities.
The Lt Governor has not till date issued any orders or signed any communications as the Chancellor of Jammu University. The communications received by universities from November 1, 2019 from Raj Bhavan are sent from the office of Lt Governor and not in his capacity as Chancellor of the University.
There are remote chances of someone other than Lt Governor being declared as the Chancellor of JU. However, till such an order is issued, there is complete restrain from Raj Bhavan in signing any files of university by the Lt Governor as the Chancellor.
Under such circumstances where the Raj Bhavan is showing restrain and dignity, the Vice Chancellor has announced Chancellors Trophy even as the slot of Chancellor is still vacant. Invitations have gone to media, inviting them at the inaugural function by the office of media incharge who has assumed the role of new friend, philosopher and guide of the Vice Chancellor in the absence of his most trusted lieutenant Prof R K Ganjoo.
Prof Ganjoo had to eat a humble pie and leave office of Registrar after VC received an advice from Raj Bhavan to replace him because of being ineligible.
The Director Physical Education Dr Baba is reported to be operating through the office of Incharge Media to influence the Vice Chancellor to hold the Chancellors Trophy though the Special Secretary to VC having advised him not to assume the role of Chancellor and cause further affront to Raj Bhavan.
University of Jammu continues to be caught up in an imbroglio after senior professors, scholars and students of Department of Geology sat on hunger strike against the Head of the Department Prof Avtar Singh Jasrotia . Placards and posters were put by protesting teachers and students even against Prof Ganjoo.
The VC had to hurriedly remove Prof Jasrotia and constitute a committee to look into the issues raised by protesters.
Prof Jasrotia spoke to STATE TIMES and leveled allegations against his protesting colleagues and the inaction of administration against them.
It is also learnt through highly reliable sources that Prof G M Bhat, a world renowned Geologist, who spearheaded the protest has filed a defamation suit against Prof Jasrotia and continues to be on protest by wearing black ribbon along with his colleagues even in VC's office.
Amid such state of affairs where the Registrar appointed by the VC had to be removed in two months and two days time, appointments made under him are already being challenged, senior professors going on hunger strikes, Head of the Department organising press briefing against administration, and a former Registrar charging the VC with conspiracy of harassment and victimization, there is loss of credibility and dignity of the chair of the Vice Chancellor.
Now the latest move by the Vice Chancellor to organize Chancellor's Trophy in the absence of Chancellor is dubbed by most of the teachers and officers, who spoke to STATE TIMES, as not only a sign of immaturity but an administrative goof up.

Antioch Council votes to ban oil and gas drilling in city, but owner of permits and rights can still drill, claims it won't protect environment
Sunset Exploration's drilling rigs at their Deer Valley Road site just outside Antioch city limits. Herald file photo.
"Local produced oil and gas will be replaced by foreign fuel imports which are significantly more harmful to the environment" – Bob Nunn, Sunset Exploration, owner of the drilling permits in Antioch
During their meeting Tuesday night Jan. 11, the Antioch City Council on a 5-0 vote approved a ban on oil and gas drilling, production and exploratory operations in the city in a stated effort to protect the health of residents and the environment. However, Bob Nunn, president of Sunset Exploration which owns permits and rights in Antioch, can still drill when he's ready and says the action will actually harm the environment more. His company has the oil drilling site off Deer Valley Road south of Kaiser outside both the city limits of Antioch and Brentwood. (See related article) Antioch Oil & Gas Drilling Ban ACC011122
In addition, although he was not made aware of the council's agenda item by staff or council members, Nunn sent an email to all five council members on Tuesday which pointed to a state report that shows importing oil and gas into California is worse for the environment by a factor of two-thirds than producing it locally.
This breakdown shows the average carbon intensity of California's imported oil vs. what is produced by Nunn's company on Deer Valley Road in Brentwood. GHG means greenhouse gases. According to Nunn, these figures are from the State of California's Air Resources Board. Source: Sunset Exploration.
According to City Attorney Thomas L. Smith, "presently there are no plans for oil or gas drilling in the city. There is a complete permit to allow gas and oil exploration, but that was put on hold." The council action "will ban oil and gas drilling in the city with no apparent impacts," he said.
Yet, neither Smith nor any of the council members mentioned the email sent by Nunn:
Sent: 1/11/2022 2:58:11 PM Pacific Standard Time
Subject: Item 9, 01-11-22 Antioch City Council agenda
Dear City Council Members
Re: Introduction of Ordinance of Amending the Antioch Municipal Code Sections 9-5.3803 and 9-5.3834 to Prohibit Oil and Gas Drilling, Production, and Exploratory Operations as Permitted Uses in the M-2 and S Zones.
I have reviewed the above referenced Ordinance and do not object to the prohibition of future oil and gas permits in the areas referenced therein. However please be advised that my company, Sunset Exploration, Inc., currently has valid permits both within the City of Antioch and Contra Costa County that allow for future oil and gas activities and those rights remain unaffected by this proposed Ordinance.
Furthermore, I have attached a link below from the California Air Resources Board (CARB), which conducts annual crude oil life cycle assessments that compares the environmental impacts of various oil fields in California as compared to the oil California imports. Currently California imports 90% of its natural gas needs and 63% of its crude oil needs. Any oil and gas California does not produce is imported. Ironically, the oil and gas we and others produce in this vicinity emits, on average, 1/3rd the amount of the carbon of foreign sources.
Deer Valley Road oil drilling site production vs. Top CA oil fields 011222. Source: Sunset Exploration
Prohibiting local oil and gas production does not affect the local or statewide demand, but it does increase rather than decrease the environmental impact of oil and gas production and use and does not achieve the stated goal of this Ordinance to reduce air emissions or provide any other environmental benefit.
Local produced oil and gas will be replaced by foreign fuel imports which are significantly more harmful to the environment.
Until we completely transition to 100% green energy sources, which California and the local community is not projected to do in the next two decades (and potentially far longer for heating and other utility needs), producing the cleanest fossil fuels available will have the least impact on climate change and the environment.
I recommend the City acknowledge that by adopting this Ordinance and prohibiting locally sourced oil and gas, it will result in the need to import more oil and gas, shifting the environmental impacts to other communities and causing an overall increase in impacts on the environment.
That is at least according to the California Air Resources Board. Deer Valley Rd. oil production Comparison 011222

Following public comments, mostly from people outside of Antioch thanking the council for protecting residents' health and the environment, District 4 Councilwoman Monica Wilson, who proposed the ban, made a motion to approve the ordinance.
District 2 Councilman Mike Barbanica said, "I just wanted to note that property owners that could have been affected…didn't show up. To me, that speaks volumes."
"I've been on the front lines for many years on social justice and environmental justice and I can't take any of the credit," District 1 Councilwoman Tamisha Torres-Walker said. "I would just like to thank the Antioch residents on the frontline…and council members who have been working on this since before me."
"After this then, we will be requesting and bring forward…a resolution to ask the county to no longer engage in this," Mayor Lamar Thorpe said.
The motion passed 5-0.

Time Present and Time Past: Memoirs of an Unorthodox Top Cop
Kirpal Singh Dhillon
In over three decades as a police officer, Kirpal Dhillon handled some of the most challenging assignments in independent India, from anti-dacoity operations in Madhya Pradesh to revamping a demoralized force as police chief of Punjab in the aftermath of Operation Blue Star. These memoirs describe his experiences in fascinating detail, and present vivid portraits of a range of people, including sadhus and swindlers, maharajas and brigands, scheming politicians and back-stabbing colleagues. There are evocative descriptions of his village in Punjab, of Partition, and of the leaders he worked with, such as Nehru, Indira Gandhi and Morarji Desai. He writes with insight and expertise about terrorism, law-and-order problems, the training of administrators and policemen, and what can be done to ensure that they function with greater autonomy, accountability and humanity.

Defensive computing (англ. Захисні обчислення) — така форма взаємодії користувачів з комп'ютером, яка дозволяє знизити ризик появи проблем, пов'язаних з його працездатністю. Основна мета цього способу полягає в тому, щоб, незважаючи на будь-які несприятливі умови роботи комп'ютерної системи або будь-які помилки, зроблені користувачами, система перебувала в стані очікування і готовності до можливих проблематичних ситуацій до моменту їх виникнення. Це може бути досягнуто через дотримання безлічі загальних керівних принципів, а також застосування певних комп'ютерних технологій.

Стратегії щодо захисту комп'ютера можна розділити на три категорії: мережева безпека, резервне копіювання і відновлення даних.

Мережева безпека
При доступі в Інтернет та інші мережі, користувачі піддають свої комп'ютери загрозі. Використання будь-якого з цих з'єднань дозволяє іншим користувачам отримати доступ до його системи і важливої інформації. Користувачі прагнуть знизити ризик, пов'язаний з доступом в їх мережу, застосовуючи певні стратегії.

Брандмауер
Брандмауер — колекція заходів безпеки, які захищають комп'ютер від шкідливого вхідного і вихідного трафіку в Інтернеті, і запобігає несанкціонований доступ до комп'ютерних систем. Ці заходи безпеки об'єднані у формі спеціального програмного забезпечення, яке працює автономно на окремих комп'ютерних системах, або зовнішнім чином, через програмне забезпечення в маршрутизаторах і модемах.

Брандмауер не захистить комп'ютер від поточного шкідливого або несанкціонованого вхідного трафіку. Мета захисту комп'ютера полягає в тому, щоб знайти та реалізувати якісне програмне забезпечення брандмауера, який фільтрує і вхідний, і вихідний трафік.

Анти-шкідливе програмне забезпечення
Основний спосіб захисту комп'ютера, яким користується більшість користувачів, полягає в тому, щоб встановити та використовувати анти-шкідливе програмне забезпечення. Брандмауери не можуть захистити комп'ютер в повній мірі. Деяке шкідливе програмне забезпечення може пройти через брандмауер і залізти в систему. Анти-шкідливе програмне забезпечення, таке як антивірус, антифішинг і поштове фільтрувальне програмне забезпечення здійснює деякий захист від шкідливого програмного забезпечення, яке знаходиться в комп'ютері. Загальна кількість шкідливого програмного забезпечення, яке знаходиться в Інтернет мережі, постійно збільшується. Користувачам важливо використовувати таке анти-шкідливе програмне забезпечення, яке легко і ефективно оновлюється, щоб боротися з новими видами шкідливого програмного забезпечення.

Скептицизм
Скептичне ставлення до даних, які користувач отримує через Інтернет — важливий аспект захисту комп'ютера. Шкідливе програмне забезпечення може існувати в безлічі різних форм, і багато з них вводять в оману користувачів і навіть деяке анти-шкідливе програмне забезпечення. Користувачі, які захищають свій комп'ютер серйозно думають над інформацією, до якої вони хочуть отримати доступ, щоб зменшити можливість завантаження та розповсюдження шкідливого програмного забезпечення. Захист включає сканування поштових додатків до їх відкриття і ручну фільтрацію вхідних електронних листів від підозрілих поштових скриньок. Користувачі повинні знати теми і заголовки електронних листів від будь-яких адресатів, оскільки вони фактично можуть містити шкідливе програмне забезпечення або спам. Спам може ввести в оману користувачів неправдивою рекламою, що приводить до розкрадання ідентифікаційних даних. Користувачі можуть сканувати файли, які вони завантажують, до їх відкриття. Також, налаштувати свої комп'ютери таким чином, щоб було показано розширення потенційно небезпечних файлів, які здаються безпечними.  Скептично також потрібно ставитися до вебсайтів, які відвідує користувач. Як і через електронні листи, користувача можуть залучити неправдиві рекламні оголошення. Крім того, шкідливе програмне забезпечення може бути завантажено на комп'ютер, після відвідування якого-небудь вебсайту, і заразити комп'ютер, без відома користувача.

Процедури резервного копіювання і відновлення
Незважаючи на зусилля користувача по захисту комп'ютера, втрата важливих даних може відбутися не тільки через шкідливе програмного забезпечення, але й через перебої в електриці, відмови обладнання і загального неправильного використання. Незважаючи на те, що принципово неможливо убезпечитись від втрати даних, користувачі можуть вживати заходів, для зменшення обсягу втрачених даних і відновлення системи до її первісного стану.

Резервне копіювання файлів
Регулярне резервне копіювання важливих файлів-основний спосіб захисту проти ненавмисної втрати даних. Користувачі можуть робити безліч копій важливих даних і зберігати їх або на тому ж комп'ютері, або на іншому пристрої, такому як компакт-диск або зовнішній жорсткий диск. Користувачі можуть також завантажувати важливі файли в Інтернет, якщо у них є доступ до інтернет-служб зберігання інформації.

Відновлення
Деякі операційні системи мають можливість відновлення комп'ютера до певного стану. Якщо така опція не доступна, користувач може отримати відповідне програмне забезпечення для відновлення системи. Користувач може відновити будь втрачені або змінені файли в разі системного відмови або серйозної втрати даних, і видалити будь-які шкідливі файли, яких не було раніше.

Належна практика для захисту даних
 Регулярно копіюйте важливі файли, документи та електронні листи.
 Не використовуйте аккаунт адміністратора для повсякденних дій.
 Оновлюйте програмне забезпечення, антивіруси з появою нових версій.
 Відключіть опцію автоматичного виконання у USB флеш-карт. Деякі віруси, особливо черв'яки, поширюються автоматично через карти флеш-пам'яті з USB інтерфейсом.
 Використовуйте різні паролі.
 Завжди підключайтеся до мережі Інтернет через брандмауер.
 Коли сумніваєтеся, не виконуйте дію з файлом.

You may have driven past 18 Brooks Road in Toms River before and got a creepy vibe that you just couldn't put your finger on, and there's a good reason for that.
If you saw 1979's "The Amityville Horror", that house should look familiar. It was used for the exterior shots of the famously haunted New York home.
While the house isn't on the market, it was sold for $950,000 in 2014, and lookie-loos are discouraged, there is a way that you can see behind the famous facade.
Thanks to a pretty thorough listing on real estate website Zillow, there are about three dozen photos both inside and outside the home.
There are plenty of photos of both the stately interior and the expansive exterior. Just click here to start your tour.
One thing that should also be mentioned - there have never been any accounts of paranormal activity at the Toms River property.
The filmmakers thought that the house would make a good stand-in for the actual demonic dwelling on Long Island, but that doesn't mean that the spirits packed up and went down the shore!
Up Next - Are there ghosts at the WOBM studios? We wanted to find out!

20+ Pictures That Will Make You Want to Visit Malta
A small island in the Mediterranean sea, Malta is an underrated country that doesn't attract the attention of many travelers who think it's a boring country with nothing to do. This couldn't be further from the truth and in fact, Malta is such an interesting and diverse country that in one week you won't have time to see everything. But that doesn't mean you won't fall in love with the place and eagerly think of your return. Let me show you exactly why you should visit Malta.
Let's start with the gorgeous Blue Lagoon on the island of Comino, one of Malta most popular attractions. It's easy to understand why, with its crystal clear blue water, perfect for snorkeling, swimming or just floating on a relaxing day.
What about churches? Malta has many, many churches, over 350 (some people say that there are 365, one for every day of the year), and each one is more beautiful than the other. From Baroque to Neo-Romantic, they are all impressive and you will wish you had time to see them all.
St John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta

Rotunda of Mosta, with the third largest unsupported dome in the world.
Our Lady of Ta' Pinu, a stunning cathedral on the island of Gozo
I'm sure you've heard of the wildly popular tv show Game of Thrones, maybe you're even a fan. You'll be interested to know that Malta was a filming location in season 1 and more recently in season 4, for a certain Purple Wedding. Without giving too much away for now, here is the entrance to King's Landing (before filming moved to Croatia), the gate of the medieval city of Mdina and one of the many narrow streets of the city. But Game of Thrones isn't the only one to film there, you can also visit Popeye's village or the filming locations for Gladiator, Troy or War World Z.
Marsaxlokk is a fishing village in the south east of Malta famous for its Sunday market where you can find basically anything: fresh fish, traditional Maltese food, all kinds of fruit, clothes or souvenirs. From the same place, I bought the best strawberries I've ever had (pictured below) and also a pair of yellow sneakers. 😀
Surely, you must like cats. I saw a lot of cats (and small dogs) in Malta, some shy, some lazy, but all very adorable.
The capital city of Valletta, built behind a fort after the arrival of the Order of Saint John, is a charming city that makes a perfect weekend trip because it's small and you can see all the sights. What I liked the most was wandering on the streets, admiring the beautiful buildings with their picturesque balconies.
Speaking of the Order of St John, the Knights of Malta who once defended the city during the wars, left many forts and cities behind where you can wander and imagine what it was like back then.
View of Valletta from the city of Senglea (or L-Isla), the first home of the Knights
Senglea, seen from Valletta (the Upper Barrakka Gardens)
The highest point in Malta isn't a tower of some sort. The Dingli Cliffs, with an elevation of 253 meters stand above the sea, making an excellent hike in nature. The path is easy to walk and it's a nice feeling to imagine that you have the whole island for yourself just for a little while.
A short ferry ride away from the main island lies another Maltese treasure, the island of Gozo, who is just as beautiful as it's bigger sister. Here you can go diving, swim, explore megalithic temples, drink cactus liqueur or see the place where Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones got married. Sounds good? 🙂

Xlendi Bay (pronounced Sh-len-dee), a small village with many things to offer.

A perfect beach to relax in Gozo.
I hope I got your attention and made you interested in the small but beautiful islands of Malta. Would you like to visit?


Video works, space installations, wall paintings, environments, furniture designs, sculpture, ceiling decoration: Tobias Rehberger (b.1966 in Esslingen) as an artist working conceptually cannot be pinned down to any single medium. But a certain complex of questions is always the motive behind an œuvre that is located between art, architecture and design. What is a work of art, how much of it is contextually determined? Or does it merely derive from a contemporary cliche of art? The public can in most cases "walk into" Rehberger's works which oscillate between functionality and uselessness, and this removes the nimbus of the untouchable art work.

Update: News Channel 5 Confirms Door-To-Door Questioning Of Food Supplies In Tennessee While Canneries Downplay Initial Reports
– Update: News channel 5 confirms door-to-door questioning of food supplies in Tennessee while canneries downplay initial reports (Natural News, Dec. 11, 2011):
Citizens in Tennessee are being asked by government workers to divulge details about their preparedness plans in a door-to-door "assessment" program reported by Janet Kim from local news channel 5 (http://www.newschannel5.com/story/1…). During this assessment, government workers ask residents 22 questions about their preparedness status. NaturalNews has confirmed through reliable sources that these include questions about emergency food supplies.
Fortunately, this effort is being done by a Tennessee group of state employees who are widely recognized throughout the preparedness community as being "good guys" who are truly just trying to help people get prepared. They are not interested in confiscation or anything of the kind, according to our sources. It's a local community preparedness support effort.
On another front, three days ago Oath Keepers reported that their chapter president in Tennessee was told by a local cannery federal agents were demanding customer lists (http://www.naturalnews.com/034371_f…). This account quickly went viral across alternative news websites, and the news exploded across the 'net.
The Tennessee cannery that originally relayed that account to Oath Keepers has backed off their account and is now telling customers who call that federal agents never visited their cannery. Oath Keepers has posted an update confirming this (http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2011/12…).
The change in this first-hand account has many people scratching their heads, as this story was confirmed face-to-face by none other than Oath Keepers Tennessee Chapter President Sgt. Rand Cardwell, a USMC veteran (Desert Storm) with a solid reputation. There is virtually no possibility that Sgt. Rand Cardwell invented this story, as he is widely known to be a trustworthy individual who honorably served his country as a U.S. Marine.
A far more likely explanation may be found in the Patriot Act itself, which features a sneak-and-peek with a gag order provision that allows federal agents to conduct searches of any facility and then gag the witnesses from speaking about it for at least one year, after which they may challenge the gag order. The existence of this sneak-and-peek gag order is widely acknowledged and easily verified through common web searches. Even NPR reported on it several years ago: http://www.npr.org/news/specials/pa…
Another possibility is that the original source at the Tennessee cannery may have been instructed to remain silent by higher ups either within their own organization or, theoretically, the Mormon Church with which the cannery is affiliated. This is only speculation, of course. We no longer have access to any further fact-checking because nobody from that cannery is talking. NaturalNews has long admired the preparedness philosophy of the Mormon Church and its members, most of which are far better prepared for an economic collapse than people of any other organized religion.
Who is getting prepared? The smart folks
The bottom line is that government officials are taking a curious interest all of a sudden in the preparedness status of the American people. Whether for innocent reasons or for nefarious purposes, this is a new focus of both state and federal government, and it indicates that somebody up the chain of command is very interested in knowing WHO is preparing and HOW they're getting prepared.
My advice to NaturalNews readers is to connect with a Mormon cannery in your area and help support their operations. Such canneries frequently offer food storage skills and advice, in addition to offering you quality stored goods at affordable prices. Most Mormon-run canneries graciously open their doors to people of any religious denomination, and for that they deserve tremendous credit.
NaturalNews will continue to investigate this story and bring you any important developments. In the mean time, we encourage all our readers, in Tennessee and elsewhere, to get yourself prepared for what's coming. Because there will very likely come a day when the federal government begins to look at stored food, cash, and ammunition as "signs of terrorism." The government already flags people who "pay with cash" as being engaged in suspicious activity — just try to buy an airplane ticket with cash and see what happens if you don't believe me. Similarly, those who buy quantities of firearms are already being flagged and tracked by the ATF. The federal government runs elaborate infiltration and spying schemes to ensnare raw milk farmers (http://www.naturalnews.com/033428_F…).
For that same government to start asking questions about who has stored food isn't even a stretch. It fits their pattern of spying on their own people even as the government tries to encroach upon more freedoms we all once took for granted.
Stay prepared, folks. The economic tsunami is headed our way, and there's a whole lotta paper currency that may end up being worth no more than the paper it's printed on. For now, I think it's safe to purchase stored food without drawing too much attention to yourself, but you'll probably get a much better value if you buy it locally from regional canneries where you don't have to pay the large shipping costs.
Do I have 5-gallon buckets full of spelt and brown rice? You bet I do. And I got 'em from a Mormon cannery in Idaho.

Protapirus — вимерлий рід тапірів, відомий з олігоцену та міоцену Північної Америки та Євразії.

Таксономія
Типовим видом є Protapirus priscus з пізнього олігоцену Керсі, Франція. Протапіра часто вважають найдавнішим справжнім тапіром або, принаймні, тапіроїдом, який є прямим предком родини тапірових.

Поширення й історія
Найдавнішим видом є північноамериканський P. simplex з формації Уайт-Рівер. Пізнішим північноамериканським видом є P. obliquidens. З Північної Америки рід поширився в Євразію в олігоцені, з п'ятьма видами, відомими з олігоцену та міоцену Європи, і одним видом (P. gromovae) з Казахстану.

Опис

Вони були такого ж розміру, як і сучасні тапіри, але мали більш примітивні риси, такі як премоляри, які мали менш моляриформну форму. У порівнянні з більш примітивними тапіроїдами, у Протапіра була втягнута область носа, що може свідчити про наявність хоботка. Однак ніс не був таким укороченим, як у сучасних тапірів, тому хоботок, ймовірно, був би менш помітним.

The Dark Pictures: Little Hope Pre-Order And Release Date Details
Known for its critically acclaimed survival horror game Until Dawn, Supermassive Games kicked off its next project, The Dark Pictures Anthology, last year with Man of Medan, which told the frightening story of a group of college students who find themselves aboard a ghost ship. Now, the next entry in the horror franchise is nearly here. While the game was set to release this summer, the game has been delayed in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic and will now release in fall 2020. If you already know it's a day-one purchase for you, Amazon pre-orders for The Dark Pictures: Little Hope are still available.
Like Until Dawn and the first Dark Pictures game, Little Hope will involve playing as several different characters from a third-person perspective and making decisions as the story progresses that will affect various outcomes. The decisions you make for each character affect how their personality evolves over the course of the game, and those decisions also affect their relationships with each other. As a result, there are multiple endings and different ways events can play out in Little Hope, and as always, the stakes are high–no one is guaranteed to survive if you don't think carefully about your next move.
Story-wise, Little Hope follows a new group of college students along with their teacher, who find themselves stranded in a quaint, isolated town shrouded in fog after their bus crashes in a storm. You soon discover the town has a dark and bloody past–in the 17th century, the town was "gripped by witchcraft," and nobody was safe from the accusations that would cause your death. The trailer shows flashbacks to 1692, when these Salem-inspired events took place, and it seems as though your actions in the past will affect how the future plays out, although it's unclear exactly how much agency you'll have in these scenes.
"All that suffering, all that malice leaves a profound effect. It creates repercussions. And there are always repercussions," teases the mysterious Curator in the trailer, the omnipresent narrator from Man of Medan who returns to guide you and speak to you directly as the player in Little Hope.
While similar to Until Dawn in many ways, The Dark Pictures Anthology innovates on the genre with its multiplayer gameplay, which is set up perfectly for a spook-filled game night. In the couch co-op Movie Night mode, each player will pick a character (or two, depending on your group size) to play as, and every time that character has a playable scene, you'll pass the controller around. You can also play online with a friend in the two-player Shared Story mode. While each player will experience the story together, at certain points the story will branch off, giving each player a unique perspective of the events. The new multiplayer elements in The Dark Pictures Anthology were inspired by the immense popularity of Until Dawn streaming and the fact that many people would gather to play through the game together. Of course, you can still play the entire story solo if you wish.
Pre-order The Dark Pictures: Little Hope
As of right now, there's only a standard edition available for The Dark Pictures: Little Hope. It's selling for $30, the same price as Man of Medan at launch. Pre-order listings are live now for PS4 and Xbox One. It's not available for PC yet, but we expect more listings will go live soon. The Amazon listing below offers free release-day shipping and the pre-order price guarantee–if the game gets discounted before launch, you'll be charged only the cheapest price once it ships. At Best Buy and GameStop, this game falls just short of the $35 minimum that gets you free shipping, but you'll still get your copy by release day.
Little Hope is a self-contained story that doesn't require playing the first game, but if you never checked out Man of Medan, you can grab it on sale right now below. There's also a free Curator's Cut available on each platform that shows you new playable scenes from other characters' perspectives, offering new decisions to be made and new consequences to be had.
See at Amazon — $19.15 ($30)
See at PlayStation Store — $30
See at Xbox Store — $30
See at Green Man Gaming — $27.59 ($30) | Steam key

Furnace of his Brain, Anvil of his Heart
Larry Hama (script), Adam Kubert (pencils), Dan Green (inks), Joe Rosas (colors), Richard Starkings & Comicraft (lettering), Electric Crayon (color seps), Bob Harras (editor), Cover by Adam Kubert
In Apocalypse's citadel, Genesis begins to attempt to bond Cyber's old adamantium to Logan's skeleton. Watching are his Dark Riders, Dirt Nap, Hurricane, Spyne, Lifeforce, Deadbolt and Gauntlet, as well as Cannonball and Zoe Culloden from a secret location. Every time the adamantium begins to bond to Logan, he does what he can to fight it. When Genesis eventually becomes annoyed and demands that the power be increased, Cannonball can take no more and goes to help Logan. He manages to damage the bonding apparatus but is quickly taken out by the Dark Riders. Seeing his friend being beaten to a pulp, Logan wills the adamantium out of his system and causes the bonding machine to blow. When it does, the shrapnel kills Hurricane and Lifeforce. Freeing himself, Cannonball grabs Logan and heads deeper into the citadel. When Genesis sends his Dark Riders, a now feral Wolverine kills them one by one - first Spyne, then Deadbolt and finally Gauntlet before directing his aggression at Genesis. At Apocalypse's coffin, Sam opens it up to find it empty. Meanwhile, Wolverine kills Genesis and asks Sam to tell Cable that he's sorry about his kid before leaving. Elsewhere, Stick informs Elektra that a warrior has fallen. Elektra offers to help him on his path and begins her journey to help Logan.
Observing Wolverine strapped to wires and tubes, Genesis muses that he is transported to a universe consisting wholly of pain. It is suffering beyond comprehension – agony on a molecular level – but he will endure. He is certain of it, it is his destiny. Wolverine is, after all a survivor.
Looking at Wolverine upside down, Genesis says see how he glares at him. Through the hurt gleams the fearsome intensity of his fury. Despite the mind-numbing torment, he knows what is being done to him and he is aware that he is the architect of his excruciation. He then asks Lifeforce how the bonding process goes, to which Lifeforce informs him it's too early to tell. They do have a positive flow of adamantium molecules through the saline/electrolyte solution but the adamantium is destroying living tissue almost as fast as Wolverine's mutant factor is replacing it. Genesis replies that he knew that would be the case. His only concern was that the adamantium they harvested from Cyber's body might be of an inferior grade. They have molecular flow, but do they have bonding? Lifeforce says that she is running a tissue scan and that the readings are fluctuating, then stabilizing. She then exclaims they have ossial bonding, the adamantium isn't being rejected.
Upon hearing that, Genesis turns around to his Dark Riders Gauntlet, Hurricane, Spyne and Deadbolt and asks if they heard that. He will make this one whole again and he shall be the first horsemen. He tells Logan that unbeknownst to him, his fate was sealed the moment Magneto drew the mythic metal from his body. Without the adamantium, he was doomed to degenerate into a howling beast, some mindless gibbering thing with fell appetites and sanguine passions. But by this metal, he shall be transformed again. He is the only mutant on the face of the planet who could survive the bonding process. Walking up the stairs, Genesis says survival – that is the key word there. Who but the ultimate survivor is fit to be a paladin to he who shall return?
Once Genesis has left, Hurricane asks Deadbolt how Genesis thinks he's going to control this one after he's put the metal back in him. Deadbolt tells him brain-wipe and implants. Spyne laughs and says that Genesis is not taking into consideration that the healing factor might negate the brain-wipe and eventually erode the implant. As they talk, Logan grits his teeth and sneers inside the tube.
Up above, Cannonball says to Zoe Culloden that they should jump down and wail into Genesis right now. Then they can get Wolverine out of the contraption and… Zoe cuts him off and tells him no. They bide their time and they observe. Then, they act when circumstances are in their favor. She then tells him that it's a good thing she came along and found him. Sam asks her how she knew who he is and why she should trust her. He then asks her who in the blue blazes she is anyhow. Zoe tells him she is the Expediter, but he can call her Zoe. She adds that she really is on his side; he's going to have to take her word on that. Sam says okay, he guesses he won't make her cross her heart and hope to die.
Looking down into a large room filled with thousands of anonymous coffins and one gigantic one that resembles Apocalypse, Sam asks Zoe what she reckons the set-up is down there and what's up with the "mummy-boxes." Zoe informs him they are sarcophagi. The smaller ones containing living prisoners of Genesis – peasants and laborers, men, women and children abducted by the Dark Riders and connected in a psychic ring series to be sapped of their life-energies so that a single entity can be restored to a horrible semblance of life. Sam asks that all those sarco – sarchopho – coffins have got live people in them? They're all hooked up to that big one that looks like… Oh sweet lord, he's gonna bring Apocalypse back to life!
Zoe tells him to shhhhh and control himself. Sam replies that they gotta do something. He then asks why Logan isn't trying to bust out of there. Isn't there anything left of what used to be him inside his head? Zoe replies that it's impossible to tell. She's been monitoring his feral regression and studying all the research papers pertinent to his condition in three different time continuums and seven special dimensions. Hearing that, Sam tells her to backtrack just a bit. He asks her where and when is she from. Zoe tells him they are irrelevant questions. Suffice to say that she is an agent of Landau, Luckman and Lake (LL&L). The firm deals in inter-reality finance. As to Logan's present mental state, he could be operating on a very primal level. Simple reaction to stimuli, impulsive survival reflexes, the lizard brain at work or the predator might be alive in there.
As Wolverine struggles inside his containment tube, a rush of energy emits from outside the chamber. Immediately, Genesis recognizes it as backflow and orders Lifeforce to increase the power and give him a higher electrolyte saturation. Manipulating the levers, Lifeforce says that the equipment wasn't designed to cope with a backflow and that Wolverine's body is rejecting the adamantium. Up above, Sam says that he knew it, Logan's tryin' to fight back – they have to help him. Zoe tells him no, they can't interfere just yet.
Below, Genesis declares to Lifeforce he shall not be denied. The will of Apocalypse shall not be denied. Triple the power; divert all power from the entire citadel to the bonding unit! Watching from the sidelines, Gauntlet asks what the consequences are of an overload. Hurricane replies disaster – they are talking meltdown and explosive energy discharge.
Intently watching Logan, Sam asks Zoe what is happening to him; what's that popping out of him? Zoe tells him it's the adamantium. Logan's extruding it out through his pores. They're pumping more into him than his system can take. Hurricane sees it too and says to Deadbolt no way he can survive this. Deadbolt replies that he wouldn't be too sure of that. Meanwhile, Genesis calls out that he shall survive. Apocalypse shall walk the earth again and Wolverine shall be at his right hand to serve him as his first horsemen – as the new Lord Death!!
From their vantage point, Sam tells Zoe this is crazy, she has to help him. He saw her transport herself into there. He tells her she has some dimensional zapper on her wrist – use it on Wolverine and get him outta this place. Zoe says she can't interrupt the process. Logan has to purge himself of the adamantium before he does what he has to do. At that moment, Sam grabs Zoe and pushes her up against the wall. He asks what's that? She's talking like it's all pre-ordained. Just then, Zoe starts to fade out, much to the chagrin of Sam. She tells him that she has to cover the other bases and that, when Logan defeats the bonding process, that is when he must strike. Sam asks defeat it; how's he gonna do that?
At that moment, Lifeforce calls out that it's sticking. The adamantium is bonding to Logan's skeleton on a true molecular level. Genesis asks if he is rejecting the brain implants. It would be insanity to have an adamantium-enhanced mutant running amok in the citadel without proper restraints. From the side, Dirt Nap quips "no kidding Sherlock," to which Hurricane tells him to cool it. Lifeforce responds to Genesis that the brain tissue is not rejecting the implants. Pleased, Genesis raises his hands in victory. He exclaims that he's succeeded. Is he not truly worthy of the mantle? Is he not the singular undisputed heir of Apocalypse?
Without warning, Sam blasts from his perch and knocks Lifeforce away from the bonding machine and then proceeds to knock Genesis down before he then knocks over the Dark Riders. As he does, he tells Genesis what he is is short a quart in the oil pan. He adds that Cannonball ain't about to sit around doin' zip while they do a number on Wolverine and bring Apocalypse back to life. Genesis screams to his Dark Riders to stop him; he is destroying the bonding apparatus!
Hurricane strikes first and does so with a force-ten gale which slams Sam into a wall. Once he hits the wall, the other Dark Riders converge on him and proceed to beat him unmercifully. As they do, they tells him that they're going to put him in his place before they rip out his heart and sends it to his fellow X-Men. Sam calls out to Logan that he's sorry. He gave it his best shot and asks that Logan forgive him. Lifeforce concentrates on putting out the fire on the control panel.
Once that is complete, she looks at the status board and sees that there is another backflow. She calls out that Logan is rejecting the adamantium. What's worse, he's rejecting the brain implants. It's a conscious rejection; he's willing it out of his system. Upon hearing that, Spyne calls out to his fellow Dark Riders to evacuate, the machinery is exceeding its redline parameters. Hurricane asks, "Huh?" to which Genesis tells him it's going to blow dummy.
When it does, Hurricane's body is riddled with shrapnel of adamantium shards, killing him instantly. Wolverine, now free, appears more feral than ever. Forcing himself up, Sam blasts off in the direction of Logan and decides that he has to get him outta there and wrap up unfinished business. When he reaches Wolverine, he asks him if it is him. He then says to him if there's still anything left inside o' him that's still him, he has to stop Apocalypse from comin' back. He has to.
Genesis tells Sypne, Gauntlet, Deadbolt and Dirt Nap that they are desecrating the resurrection chamber of Apocalypse and that he wants their torn, lifeless bodies brought back and laid at his feet. Once they have gone off to do his bidding, Genesis says that Lord En Sabah Nur will have to do without a paladin for the Dark Riders. He then tells Lifeforce to stop staring at the useless bonding controls and help the others chase down the mutants. When he heads over towards her, he yells at her and asks her if she has been deafened by the explosion. He ordered her to… Just then, he discovers why she's not answering, she has been killed by the adamantium shrapnel. Genesis laments there is come a doom by his own hand.
Meanwhile, atop a mountain halfway 'round the world, an old man carrying a staff asks his female assistant if she senses it yet. When the lady replies nothing, the man smacks her in the head with his staff and tells her that there's somebody out there, a warrior. He walked the path, but didn't even know it. He's the enemy of their enemies. He could have climbed the mountain if he had wanted to and he would have been welcome. The lady responds he has fallen. The man confirms yeah, he has fallen.
Back in Genesis' citadel, Sam is slumped against a post. As he calls out to Wolverine that he knows he's out there, an' that he knows he's hurtin', Spyne begins to stalk him and gets ready to grab hold of him. Sam asks that Logan reach down inside himself and remember who he used to be. Just before, Spyne can grab hold of Sam, a hairy hand reaches out, grabs Spyne's tail and jerks him upwards.
In another location, Deadbolt hears some screams and calls out to Spyne. When he sees his tail, he says there you are, he could have sworn that was him screaming… Before he can utter anything else, the tail is wrapped around his neck and he is jerked upwards as well. Perched on top of a column, Wolverine, holding Spyne's severed tail tells him it was.
Shortly, Gauntlet happens upon the location and notices fresh blood but wonders whom it belongs to. Dirt Nap tells him that there is somebody behind him and proceeds to promptly run off. Gauntlet raises his weapon and tells Dirt Nap that he'll be worm food before he needs his help. Just then, he sees what he thinks is Deadbolt. In reality, it is Wolverine holding Deadbolt's severed head in his hand. As Gauntlet puts his gun away he says to "Deadbolt" that they should find Spyne and run a systematic sweep of…
He too, is unable to utter anything further before Wolverine attacks him and kills him. Seeing it happen, Dirt Nap quips that he has to do some serious re-thinking about his allegiances around there.
Genesis, fed up with the inactivity, grabs Sam by the collar and demands to know where his furry clawed friend stripling… He stops mid-sentence when he hears screams coming from Gauntlet. Sam tells him he's next and that Wolverine's gonna put a whuppin' on him to write home about. Dragging Sam over towards the enormous coffin of Apocalypse, Genesis tells him indeed and that he'll have to come to him there then to the revival crèche of Apocalypse. There, to the nexus of genetic fulfillment wherein are harvested the fruits of natural selection.
With that, he tosses Sam to the ground. Sam then says to him survival o' the fittest, right and tells Genesis that he don't think his Dark Riders made the cut. He adds that he don't think he's gonna make the cut either. Genesis looks up in shock to see Wolverine perched on top of Apocalypse's coffin. He is more feral than he's ever been, more animal than man, with long fingernails and toenails and a pug-like nose. Sam mentions to Genesis that whatever he did to Wolverine has pushed him over the edge and into a place he don't even wanna know about. He informs Genesis that his chickens are coming home to roost and they got some big powerful claws.
When Wolverine leaps towards Genesis, Sam works on prying Apocalypse's coffin open with his bare hands. While he does, he informs Genesis that as much as he would love to stand around and see him get his just deserts, he's fixin' to rain on Apocalypse's homecoming.
Near Sam, Wolverine unmercifully swipes and attacks Genesis like a tiger would a gazelle. As Wolverine continues to slash away at him, Genesis thinks to himself how was he to know that to resist the influx of adamantium, Logan would go so far? That to escape enslavement to his will, he would jettison the last vestiges of his humanity. That he would succumb to the dark, red hunger that lurks in the core of all living things. How was he, Genesis, heir-apparent of Apocalypse, to know that in the survival of the fittest, the apex of the pyramid was occupied by some shambling, devolved brute who just happened to be the best there is at what he does?!?
Once Sam gets Apocalypse's coffin open, he finds it empty. But, but that means Genesis was lying or totally outta his gourd and delusional or Apocalypse got up and left by himself. Just then, Sam hears Logan call out to him. When he turns around and sees Genesis, lying on the ground, shredded, Logan asks him to tell Cable that he's sorry about his kid. He didn't have a choice. A bruised, battered Sam asks Logan where he's goin', why can't he tell him himself? Logan doesn't answer and just turns and leaves without another sound. Noticing that, Sam laments that he's gone… in more ways than one…
On the mountaintop, many miles away, the old man calls out that he is fallen. He asks the lady if they turn their backs on a guy like that or do they help him to his feet and set him on the path again. Preparing to leave the cabin, Elektra tells the old man, Stick, that she'll find him. Stick tells her to do just that.

We continue our look at famous sporting personalities who regularly support charities with names such as, Peyton Manning, Alex Smith and Tom Brady. There are are fair share of well-paid sports players that hug the high life and enjoy spending all their money on frivolous things.
However, there are certain athletes that realize that their position in life grants them not only the money to do good on behalf of others, but also to use their fame to promote awareness of certain charities, foundations and the work that they do.
The founder of the PeyBack Foundation is American Football super hero Peyton Manning. Manning formed the foundation to assist American kids at risk to grow their future prospects and to live a happy life. Peyton Manning is not just happy to attach his name to the foundation for publicity, he actively gets involved with his role as president.
The PeyBack Foundation has raised and given nearly ten million dollars in grants to help these youngsters, and has run help programs around the USA, including Tennessee, Colorado, Louisiana and Indiana. Peyton Manning has put back a great deal into a society that has given him so much.
Another Pro Grid-Iron player on our list is Alex Smith, and he helped to establish the Alex Smith Foundation that helps youngsters to achieve their dreams of becoming football players. Through scholarships, provision is given to young hopefuls to train, and learn the game.
Smith has been specifically active in lobbying for child-welfare changes and regularly attends conferences to explain what his foundation is all about. The Boston Globe has bought attention to the foundation in regular articles and news stories about the great work that is being achieved.
The first tennis player in our list of charitable athletes is Andre Agassi, and he has been a significant influence in helping well deserved charities. The most famous is the Andre Agassi Foundation for Education, which was set up to help kids that are at risk.
The Foundation through education and recreation aids the kids with their personal problems. And the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy is a private school that is open to kids in West Las Vegas for a first class education.
Even Nascar is not without its charitable heroes and Jeff Gordon is one of its chief contributors. The Jeff Gordon Foundation seeks to help children that are facing challenges with cancer. Pediatric cancer is one of his main causes, so much so he has helped to build a children's hospital in North Carolina.
As well as all his work with the Jeff Gordon Foundation, he has tirelessly worked with other charities such as: Athletes for Hope, American Association of Retired Persons, Soles4Soles and Partners in Health. Who could have imagined that Nascar could provide so much help to truly needy people, and with the lead from one of their most famous personalities, namely Jeff Gordon, many people lives have changed for the better. In the third and concluding part of this blog we look into the lives of other great athletes that get involved in charity work.

This is my very first SCP, so I might've gotten some things wrong.
Although blackboxing the Site isn't the worst thing, you should generally try not to hide any information in the Special Containment Procedures. In-universe, people need to know where an SCP item is. You could just leave out the Site information fully, use an unused/underused number, or see if any recorded Sites here fit.
The Foundation uses metric, not imperial, measurements. That means centimetres or metres in this case.
A cube is a 3D object, so you need three figures here, not two.
Where is this cube meant to be kept? Why a cube, and not some sort of Safe Storage Locker?
is to be cleaned once every year.
This doesn't need to be said, it's the sort of thing that would just be done on a regular basis unless specified it needs to happen more often, or not at all.
Anyone with Level 3 clearance or higher is allowed in this room, but only people with Level 4 clearance or higher are allowed to write on it.
Why do people have to have such a high clearance to write on it? Considering you may end up killing them (more on that point when I get to it), it seems silly to ask for such a high Level and then potentially end up losing an expensive, important resource. Reading the guidelines here, even Level 2 should be allowed to interact with this SCP object.
Yet they must keep the questions simple and not "exposing."
This is a confusing lapse in clinical tone, as well as being a sentence fragment. I would advise rewriting it to something like - 'Personnel testing with SCP-XXXX are advised to keep their questions simple and to avoid potentially exposing sensitive data'.
SCP-(N/A) is a Chalkboard measuring 36" tall and 48" wide.
'Chalkboard' doesn't need a capital letter. Also, this would be measured in centimetres in this case, not inches. Also, a chalkboard is a 3D object - you need three figures here.
However it was later moved to Site-██.
This goes without saying, that it was contained, because we know it has been due to the existence of the article. Additionally, this is plonked in the middle of the history of this SCP object, so it doesn't read particularly well.
But how did The Foundation come to know about it? Remember, they have to find out organically, they can't magically find out, and people can't just come and report unusual things to them as though they were cops.
When writing with any kind of chalk on SCP-(N/A) the chalkboard will answer whatever the person has wrote on SCP-(N/A).
'has written', not 'has wrote'.
It's not answering the question by blinding people, so that sentence is wrong. Additionally, that information shouldn't be in brackets, and doesn't need to be 'signed' by a doctor. As a final note on this sentence, we don't do the 'numbers in brackets' thing anymore - instead, you should write out the numbers one to nine, then use digits for 10 and up.
Shouldn't this be easy to tell without such a dangerous experiment? Additionally, one right answer doesn't mean it answers all questions correctly. It also doesn't give us an idea if this has sapience or not.
Dr. ████ wrote on the board "What SCP is 001?"
They find this chalkboard, and this is the very first question they ask it? Seems unlikely.
Upon finishing the experiment they made sure no person was allowed to write anything about the foundation, and if someone finds classified info they will be sent to get executed at once.
This is a weirdly worded sentence. What would one 'write about The Foundation'? If the test was done correctly, it would involve researchers who can be exposed to expunged data, and would expunge it again when it was written - not to mention that this very article is proof that it wasn't made sure that 'no person was allowed to write anything'.
On to the random killing part - The Foundation wouldn't do that. Not only does it go against their nature of being 'cold, but not cruel', but it would potentially mean killing off an expensive, hard-to-replace resource, especially with higher Level personnel. Instead, anyone exposed to information they shouldn't be exposed to would be given amnestics after the test.
Dr. ██████ was called in to scribble on the SCP to see what would happen.
The Foundation is a scientific institute. They're not particularly free-form with their testing - so they wouldn't just 'call in' a random doctor to do a random thing. They would keep trying with actual questions, and they wouldn't start with potentially dangerous ones either.
D-927██ was told to write any (long) but simple question on the board (taking up all the space.) When finished the board [DATA EXPUNGED].
What happened to the Level 4 rule? I don't agree with it, but you could at least stick to what you state in your article. Additionally, I don't feel that 'data expunged' is actually hiding anything - instead, I feel like you didn't know what to say, so you just put in there to get out of a stick situation.
All in all, there's a lot of problems with this SCP article, ranging from small problems with SPAG all the way to bigger problems like the fact it's not exactly an interesting object - you could do the same with a Magic 8 ball that could somehow also answer questions correctly, and you would have the same thing. These days, articles are an example of flash fiction, with a narrative and 'plot' of some type being very important. I would advise you to read as many Series III articles as you can, and to think about what story you're trying to tell first, before you even think of what the object could be. That tends to be better than thinking of the object first.


Two leading global payments suppliers, TAS Group and OmniSafe, Inc., announced today that they have joined forces to deliver a complete EMV card issuing solution for U.S. banks. OmniSafe will begin deploying TAS Group's new EMV instant and central card issuing solutions later this month.
The U.S. is in the process of migrating to EMV-based chip cards, which are substantially more secure than conventional magnetic stripe credit and debit cards. Card brands American Express, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa have decided, through a liability switch mechanism, that the U.S. payments industry be EMV compliant beginning in October 2015. TAS and OmniSafe help issuers, merchants and processors meet these deadlines.


In Him... : Are You Burdened?
First of all, I wanted to share something personally with you in this blog. Some of you may know that my father went home to be with Jesus on December 23rd after a brief illness.
During the last two months of his life, Dad and I talked about heaven and at one point he said he felt a little guilty because he was looking forward to it. He said, "Won't it be great! No more pain, no more sin, no jealousy. Just pure love from the Lord."
He was looking forward to seeing family members he hadn't seen, and especially Jesus, and was, well, sort of excited to go! He did express that he would feel bad about leaving, but… Frankly, as much as I may have wanted him to stay, I could not blame him for wanting to leave.
Anyway, one of the things we talked about was the grace of God and how amazing His love for us is. And I was thinking about that today and it reminded me of an allegory I wrote a few years ago, and I wanted to share it again with you. I hope you enjoy it… again.
"Welcome, Sojourner," said the shepherd. "I see you have laid your heavy burden down at the foot of the cross; How wonderful!"
"Now that you have received the wonderful gift of salvation, let me show you how to grow. Follow me and I will guide you through your new responsibilities."
"Responsibilities?" Sojourner wondered? "Let me show you," said the shepherd. With those words, young Sojourner began a journey into a new life.
As each day progressed, he was excited to learn from the shepherd and others in the flock how he was to now live and what things he needed to do to please the Master.
There was so much to learn, so many new things he needed to accomplish!
The shepherd and the people of the flock helped him as he began to absorb all the great principles that were so new to him. It was explained to him that the shepherd and flock discovered these ideas in a book they said contained the "Great Standards of Life."
"Oh, there is so much to comprehend," he fretted. "How will I ever please my new Master?"
"Follow my lead," said the shepherd, I have lived by these Great Standards for many years.
"But how can I ever live up to such Great Standards."
"The Master's grace will help you fulfill the Great Standards. You see, the reason He gives us grace so we can live up to them. No one can fully carry them out without help, so we must ask the Master for grace to help us."
"I think I understand," whispered Sojourner. "You are saying that I should ask the Master for grace to help me live up to the Great Standards of Life, and in that way I will someday earn the Master's approval."
"You are a fast learner!" said the shepherd.
As the days passed, no one worked harder in the flock than Sojourner. He performed excellently. He was there with the flock whenever the doors were opened, and he faithfully studied the parts of the Great Standard he was told about.
He faithfully accomplished everything the shepherd taught him to do to please the Master. The desire of his whole heart was to please the One who had taken his heavy burden, and the way he was taught was to obey the tenets of the Great Standards.
Sojourner was unfulfilled and sort of, well… disappointed. And yet, he could not put his finger on the reason why.
Even with all the effort he was putting in he didn't feel he was doing enough.
He was reading the book every day – sometimes for hours. He was praying and seeking and asking for help. He went for days without food just to have more time to learn about the Great Standards. And even then, something was absent in the new life he had found.
So he decided he must try harder.
He said to himself, "I will follow the Great Standards yet closer than before. I will achieve even more than the shepherd has taught me. Then I will be satisfied, because then I will know I have pleased the Master."
So, he began to act upon his newly found fervor.
He passionately lived his life as close to the Great Standards as humanly possible. He performed even the minutest details (within reason and common sense) of the standards, and constantly prayed for more of the Master's grace to live up to even more.
He also learned about the "Rules for the Flock," which included suggestions on how the flock should live differently from the other people of the world so that other people could see that they were part of a flock, and not just wanderers in the shadows.
Sojourner also executed these rules flawlessly.
He out-performed all of the other members of the flock, and the shepherd began to point to him as another example for the flock to follow. He spent immeasurable hours reading the book and would always stumble upon more things to do that he hoped would please the Master.
He discovered increasingly more ways to labor, more things to do, which he was sure, would succeed in gaining the Master's favor. He spent days praying and crying out to the Master for the ability to please Him more.
Yet, deep in his heart, Sojourner was unconvinced that he was pleasing the Master.
As the weeks, and months, and years wore on, Sojourner became frustrated with his new life.
The precepts and the tenets that he rejoiced to learn at the first, now had become heavy burdens that weighed his life down. The harder he toiled, the more he seemed to leave undone.
"Is this all there is to it – a life of performance-based living and never knowing for sure if I am pleasing the Master? Even when I obey all of the rules, I never feel that I have done enough!"
As he sought the counsel of the shepherd and the older wiser members of the flock, they all seemed to agree that there must be something wrong in the way that Sojourner was performing. They assured him that if he had been performing correctly, he could be sure that he was pleasing the Master.
They suggested to him, "You simply need to read further about the Great Standards and the Rules for the Flock. After all, they have been our guide all of these years."
"Sojourner, if you would just fast and pray more often, these thoughts would not trouble you."
He could hear the others whispering, "Perhaps there is disobedience in Sojourner's life, or worse, a transgression of the Great Standards... "
"There must be something he is doing wrong or he would not have these thoughts…"
Yet the harder he tried to perform, the more frustrated he became.
He began to read other things in the book that suggested he didn't have to perform to gain the Master's approval, but when he brought those ideas up to the shepherd and flock, they quickly squelched them.
"Don't talk to us about sloppy agape and greasy grace!" "Are you trying to get a license to sin!"
The only thing that was in Sojourner's heart was to somehow please his Master.
One night, after many hours of weeping in discouragement, a still, small Voice gently whispered, "Sojourner, I love you and I want to be your Friend."
"Who, who are you? Are you the taskmaster that I have worn myself out trying to please?"
"How can this be?" Sojourner questioned, "I have done everything I could think of to live my life to please You. How can I please You without executing to the letter what the Great Standards teach?"
"This new life is about being a new creation in Me with My life dwelling in you. It is about relating with Me as Your Friend."
Shaken, Sojourner wept and said, "You, You want me as your friend? How can this be? I thought I was serving You all this time, and I never realized that You wanted me as a friend. I have done nothing to be worthy of Your friendship!"
"Sojourner, I have always wanted your love and friendship. I have given you My grace, not to help you fulfill the Great Standard, but rather, because you never can fulfill the Great Standard, I fulfilled it for you.
My grace is not help you live up to any of the the Great Standards, but rather, to liberate you from trying to bring about something that I have already accomplished for you. There is not a rule or a law that you can fulfill that could earn my approval. I love you and I approve of you!
This new life that you have sought so earnestly can only be lived through abiding in My Peace, Presence, Grace and Love."
"I fulfilled the requirements of the Great Standards when I died on the cross, and because you are in Me, you have become a partaker of all that I accomplished. You have become everything I have ever wanted, simply because you are in Me. I love you. And because I love you, I want to live My Life through you."
"Be strong, establish your heart, and grow in My grace. You will find that My grace will be sufficient to sustain you throughout all of your earthly life."
"And remember, I am with you. I will not fail you, and you cannot fail Me. I know your beginning from your ending, and I will sustain you with My Grace."
As Sojourner heard these words, a flood of tears released every fear he had ever had of not pleasing his Lord and Friend. As the tears streamed down, he was filled with a joy, a peace, and a love he had not felt since the day that he lay his burden at the cross. The freedom he sensed was overwhelming, as if a heavy load had been again lifted from his shoulders.

Q: In Swagger openapi v3.0.0, facing issue in multiple file uploads Trying to upload multiple files in swagger api. While uploading single file with
files:
    type: string
    format: binary

Getting file in req.files, but when trying for multiple files with
files:
   type: array
    items:
      type: string
      format: binary

req.files = null  and there is files: '[object file],[object file]'  in req.body
using nodejs with express

A: Uploading an array of files is supported in Swagger UI 3.26.0+ and Swagger Editor 3.10.0+. You need to upgrade your Swagger UI to the latest version.
Earlier versions had an issue where the string [object file],[object file] was sent instead of the actual files.
