film profile] is easily one of the most visually extravagant titles in the section – and it reaffirms Baigazin's position as a daring arthouse filmmaker.
In a remote Kazakh village lives a family with five sons. Their strict and, at times, violent father puts his teenage son in charge of his four younger brothers, and he supervises them in their everyday chores, which include the construction of a barn and tending the livestock. Aslan is a more gentle leader to his brothers than his father is, and is forgiving of their mistakes. As the film turns more and more surreal, he leads them to the river, which seems to change their lives. After they take a few strokes through its glistening, enchantingly blue-green waves, they can't help but come back over and over again. In addition, the way they carry out their daily chores is completely transformed – that is, until a mysterious visitor, Kanat, arrives in the village, carrying a tablet containing computer games, which entice the younger boys away from their brother.
Baigazin has for the first time not only written and directed the film, but has also served as the cinematographer. In his hands, The River becomes a delight for the eyes, and he utilises an elegant yet subtle feeling for composition, dreamy blue and beige hues, spacious wide-screen frames, and a leisurely camera to their best effect. The film's images indicate a story tiptoeing somewhere between the real and the mythological world, between the realm of the symbolic, something akin to a collective unconscious, and some very concrete details of today's globalised world – like popular culture and technology invading peaceful, rural, traditional lives outside of Western civilisation.
It is hard to say what to make of an intriguing premise like this. The arrival of Kanat – who brings the only sense of a specific time period to an otherwise ahistorical story – in what turns out to be a refuge from the outside perils functions as a deeply disruptive presence. Are we to take it as some kind of warning against the advancements of society, with rural tradition being idealised in a somewhat short-sighted way? Or are the elemental qualities of the film pointing to something else? Perhaps to a presence that can be just as ambiguous, signifying a destructive force at times, and at others pointing to deeply entrenched ideas of conventionality when it comes to perceiving the world. The River doesn't lend itself to easy answers, which could be its biggest flaw, but it is also a strength – it can function very efficiently as a reflection of the viewer's mind, much like on a river's shimmering surface, where each person will get a reflection of exactly what they wish to see in it.
The River is a Kazakh-Polish-Norwegian-Dutch co-production staged by Norsk Filmproduksjon, Madants, Ludmila Cvikova C&P and Emir Baigazin Production.

The HADRIAN approach to accessible transport
2010-03-11T13:50:22Z (GMT) by Russell Marshall J. Mark Porter Ruth Sims Steve Summerskill Diane Gyi Keith Case
This paper describes research carried out at Loughborough University in the UK into the areas of 'design for all' and accessible transport. The research addresses two common needs for designers and ergonomists working towards developing more inclusive products and environments, namely data on users that is accessible, valid, and applicable and a means of utilising the data to assess the accessibility of designs during the early stages of development. HADRIAN is a computer-based inclusive design tool that has been developed to support designers in their efforts to develop products that meet the needs of a broader range of users. Currently HADRIAN is being expanded to support transport design. This includes data on an individual's ability to undertake a variety of transport-related tasks, such as vehicle ingress/egress, coping with uneven surfaces, steps, street furniture and complex pedestrian environments. The subsequent use of this data will be supported either through a task analysis system that will allow a designer to evaluate a design for a part of the transport infrastructure (ticket barrier, train carriage etc.), or alternatively allow the designer or an end user to evaluate a whole journey. The 'journey planner' feature of the HADRIAN tool will compare an individual's physical, cognitive and emotional abilities with the demands placed upon that individual by the mode(s) of transport available and the route options selected. It is envisaged that these developments will prove extremely useful to users, designers, planners and all those involved with transport use and implementation.

Andrew Hartman joins ISU as an Assistant Professor of History. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from George Washington University and his B.A. from the University of New Mexico. A specialist in history education, his research deals with American education during the Cold War era. "I look forward to many years of exciting intellectual collaboration with my colleagues, not only in the history department, but throughout the College," said Dr. Hartman.


Bill Buford's Heat : An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker, and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany was one of the books I most anticipated reading this year. Buford, founding editor of the literary magazine, Granta, and an editor at the New Yorker, astounded me with his gritty portrayal of soccer hooligans in Among the Thugs (which I finally read earlier this year).
Heat tells several tales. Buford weaves the biography of FoodTV legend Mario Batali in with his own apprenticeship in Batali's Babbo kitchen, while also traveling to Italy to learn traditional Italian cooking. The resulting book combines history, biography, and self-revelation with a few recipes and cooking tips to form one of the best non-fiction books of the year. As a disclaimer, I have to admit that this book seems tailor-made for me. I am not only a foodie, but I love to cook, and am a huge fan of the orange-clogged myth that is Mario Batali.
My next book is Leif Tande's Morlac.


Don't let negative influences change your opinion. Become a better you for yourself, to lead a better life in the future.

As another year is set to pass again, it is that time where I look back and assess if it was better than the year before.

Q: Excel 2010 VBA - Split String by Comma, Skip Blank Results I am using the following code to chop up a column of comma-separated lists and to return each entry in a new row:
Sub SliceNDice()
    '
    ' Splits the locations cells according to commas and pushes to new rows
    ' Code courtesy of brettdj (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8560718/split-comma-separated-entries-to-new-rows)
    '
    Dim objRegex As Object
    Dim x
    Dim Y
    Dim lngRow As Long
    Dim lngCnt As Long
    Dim tempArr() As String
    Dim strArr
    Set objRegex = CreateObject("vbscript.regexp")

    objRegex.Pattern = "^\s+(.+?)$"
     'Define the range to be analysed
    x = Range([a1], Cells(Rows.Count, "c").End(xlUp)).Value2
    ReDim Y(1 To 3, 1 To 1000)
    For lngRow = 1 To UBound(x, 1)
         'Split each string by ","
        tempArr = Split(x(lngRow, 3), ",")
        For Each strArr In tempArr
            lngCnt = lngCnt + 1
             'Add another 1000 records to resorted array every 1000 records
            If lngCnt Mod 1000 = 0 Then ReDim Preserve Y(1 To 3, 1 To lngCnt + 1000)
            Y(1, lngCnt) = x(lngRow, 1)
            Y(2, lngCnt) = x(lngRow, 2)
            Y(3, lngCnt) = objRegex.Replace(strArr, "$1")
        Next
    Next lngRow
     'Dump the re-ordered range to columns E:G
    [e1].Resize(lngCnt, 3).Value2 = Application.Transpose(Y)

End Sub

While this code works perfectly, it has a fatal flaw in that any double-commas in the cells of column C will result in blank cells pushed to the new rows in column G.
Does anyone know how to edit the code so that it does not create new rows with empty cells in column G, but skips them and enters the next rows in their places as if the superfluous commas were never included in column C at all?

A: Just test for the string length of strArr as the first operation inside the For Each strArr In tempArr loop.
For Each strArr In tempArr
    If CBool(Len(strArr)) Then
        lngCnt = lngCnt + 1
         'Add another 1000 records to resorted array every 1000 records
        If lngCnt Mod 1000 = 0 Then ReDim Preserve Y(1 To 3, 1 To lngCnt + 1000)
        Y(1, lngCnt) = x(lngRow, 1)
        Y(2, lngCnt) = x(lngRow, 2)
        Y(3, lngCnt) = objRegex.Replace(strArr, "$1")
    End If
Next strArr

A: You could loop on the occurence of double comma to clean up the input as opposed to fixing the output, here is a working example:
Text in A1: Hello,,World,This,,Is,,,,,,,A,,Test
Sub TestString()
Dim MyString As String
MyString = Range("A1").Text
Do Until Len(MyString) = Len(Replace(MyString, ",,", ","))
    MyString = Replace(MyString, ",,", ",")
Loop
MsgBox MyString
End Sub

You would do this just before splitting
If you want it as a function (would be better in your case) do this:
Function FixDoubleComma(MyString As String)
Do Until Len(MyString) = Len(Replace(MyString, ",,", ","))
    MyString = Replace(MyString, ",,", ",")
Loop
FixDoubleComma = MyString
End Function

Then replace this in your code:
tempArr = Split(x(lngRow, 3), ",")

With this:
tempArr = Split(FixDoubleComma(x(lngRow, 3)), ",")

A: I have a little sample that solves blanks everywhere
Sub RemoveBlanks()
    Dim mystr As String
    Dim arrWithBlanks() As String
    Dim arrNoBlanks() As String
    Dim i As Integer
    mystr = ",tom,jerry, ,,spike,," 'Blanks everywhere (beginning, middle and end)
    arrWithBlanks = Split(mystr, ",")
    ReDim arrNoBlanks(0 To 0)
    Debug.Print "Array with blanks:"
    'Loop through the array with blanks
    For i = LBound(arrWithBlanks) To UBound(arrWithBlanks)
        'Check if there is a blank (or element with spaces only)
        If Trim(arrWithBlanks(i)) = "" Then
            Debug.Print i & " (blank)"
        Else
            Debug.Print i & " " & arrWithBlanks(i)
            If arrNoBlanks(UBound(arrNoBlanks)) <> "" Then ReDim Preserve arrNoBlanks(0 To UBound(arrNoBlanks) + 1)
            arrNoBlanks(UBound(arrNoBlanks)) = arrWithBlanks(i)
        End If
    Next i
    Debug.Print "Array with NO blanks:"
    For i = LBound(arrNoBlanks) To UBound(arrNoBlanks)
        Debug.Print i & " " & arrNoBlanks(i)
    Next i
End Sub

Everything will be displayed in the immediate window (Press Ctrl + G to show it)
The result will look like this:
Array with blanks:
0 (blank)
1 tom
2 jerry
3 (blank)
4 (blank)
5 spike
6 (blank)
7 (blank)
Array with NO blanks:
0 tom
1 jerry
2 spike

Sabrina shared this recipe on her website, CASA & Company, and we were immediately hooked. If you feel like you need a pick me up mid afternoon, these energy balls are perfect. They make a big batch, and can be kept in the fridge for two weeks.
Place almonds and cashews into your food processor/blender and process until they are ground into a fine flour. Don't turn them to dust though we still have some more processing to do and we want our energy bites to have a little texture to them.
Add dates, vanilla and cinnamon and process until well combined.
Add chia seeds along with 2 tablespoons of your shredded coconut and process until combined. If you find your dough is a little dry add a splash of water and process again.
Use your hands to roll your dough into bites size balls and set aside , about 1 heaping teaspoon per bite.
Place your remanning tablespoon of shredded coconut into a small bowl and gently roll some of your delicious little bites to coat.

Der Stehekin River ist ein Fluss im Chelan County im US-Bundesstaat Washington. Er ist der Hauptzufluss des Lake Chelan. Bergleute erreichten das Stehekin River Valley im späten 19. Jahrhundert. Ihnen folgten Siedler, die einzelne Gehöfte errichteten. Auch heute noch ist das Stehekin River Valley ein abgelegenes Gebiet, das nur über eine 90-km-Bootsfahrt über den Lake Chelan erreicht werden kann.

Der Name des Flusses ist vom Wort stxwíkn' aus dem Columbia-Moses abgeleitet, welches "der Weg hindurch" bedeutet.

Verlauf
Der Stehekin River entspringt in der Nördlichen Kaskadenkette nahe dem Cascade Pass im North Cascades National Park. Er sammelt das Wasser mehrerer Quellflüsse wie das des Pelton Creek, des Doubtful Creek und des Basin Creek. Hauptgipfel in der Nähe der Quellen sind der Boston Peak, der Buckner Mountain, der Booker Mountain, der Sahale Mountain, der Cascade Peak, der Mix-up Peak und der Hurry-up Peak.

Der Stehekin River fließt im Allgemeinen von diesen Bergen aus nach Westen und Südwesten südlich der Park Creek Ridge bis zu seinem Zusammenfluss mit dem Park Creek. Kurz unterhalb des Park Creek nimmt der Fluss den Bridge Creek auf, einen seiner Hauptzuflüsse. Der Bridge Creek kommt von Norden und entwässert den äußersten Norden des Chelan County im North Cascades National Park. Der Bridge Creek und seine Zuflüsse führen das Wasser einiger bedeutender Berge ab, darunter sind der Goode Mountain, der Storm King, der Mount Logan und der Black Peak. Die Quelle des Bridge Creek liegt nahe dem Rainy Pass und dem Washington Pass an der Washington State Route 20. Der Stehekin River setzt seinen Lauf im Allgemeinen nach Südosten bis zum Nordwestende des Lake Chelan fort. Kurz vor Erreichen des Sees nimmt er den vom Westen kommenden Agnes Creek auf, einen weiteren Hauptzufluss. Der Agnes Creek entwässert den äußersten Norden des Wenatchee National Forest. Die letzte Meile seines Laufs markiert die Grenze zwischen dem North Cascades National Park und dem Lake Chelan National Recreation Area.

An der Mündung des Agnes Creek verlässt der Stehekin River den Nationalpark und tritt in das National Recreation Area ein. Der Stehekin River fließt nahe Stehekin, einer kleinen Gemeinde, die nur per Boot zu erreichen ist, in den Lake Chelan. Straßen von Stehekin aus folgen dem Fluss aufwärts den größten Teil des Tals hinauf. Es gibt mehrere Zeltplätze. Der Pacific Crest Trail erreicht das Stehekin River Basin von Süden über den Suiattle Pass, verläuft den South Fork Agnes Creek und den Agnes Creek hinunter zum Stehekin River, dann den Stehekin aufwärts zum Bridge Creek und den Bridge Creek aufwärts zum Rainy Pass.

Besiedlung
Weil die Region derartig abgelegen ist, blieb das Stehekin River Valley bis in die 1880er Jahre hinein unbesiedelt. Zu dieser Zeit begannen Bergleute auf der Suche nach Wohlstand in die Region einzudringen. Zwischen 1887 und 1910 erreichte eine erkleckliche Anzahl das Tal auf der Suche nach Erzlagerstätten in der Nördlichen Kaskadenkette. Bis 1890 gab es ein relativ großes Hotel Stehekin am Lake Chelan an der Mündung des Stehekin River. Das Hotel diente Touristen und Fischern wie auch Bergleuten als Unterkunft.

Über die Jahrhunderte lagerte der Stehekin River bei seinen Laufverlegungen fruchtbare alluviale Sedimente am Talboden ab; er hinterließ jedoch auch große Felsbrocken, die eine landwirtschaftliche Nutzung erschwerten. Nichtsdestotrotz begannen einige frühe Siedler um 1910 im Tal mit der Landwirtschaft und der Errichtung von Bauernhöfen. Die am meisten begehrten Flächen erstreckten sich entlang des Stehekin River und seiner Zuflüsse, da diese eine verlässliche Wasserversorgung für die Landwirtschaft und natürliche Transportwege zum Lake Chelan darstellten.  Der Buckner-Hof war einer der ersten am Stehekin River. Er ist heute im National Register of Historic Places aufgeführt.

Aufgrund der strengen Winter blieben nur wenige Siedler das ganze Jahr über im Tal. Im Herbst verließen die meisten Bauern das Gebiet und wählten einen Winteraufenthalt in weniger isolierten Orten wie Chelan. Im Frühjahr kehrten die Familien auf ihre Höfe im Stehekin Valley zurück. Viele der frühen Siedler besserten ihr Einkommen auf, indem sie Bergleute in das Hinterland führten und Güter zu den entlegenen Claims brachten. Die erste Schule im Tal wurde 1902 in einer Hütte in der Nähe des Lake-Chelan-Ufers eröffnet. Sie wurde später durch einen als Kronk Cabin bekannten Bau ersetzt. Heute ist diese Hütte das älteste Schulgebäude im Stehekin Valley. Als weitere Familien sich niederließen, wurde der Bedarf an einem neuen Schulgebäude offenbar. 1921 wählten die Einwohner einen Ort für die neue Schule aus. Der Schulbau war als Blockhütte gefertigt, die von Freiwilligen vor Ort errichtet wurde. Die Stehekin School existiert immer noch und ist im National Register of Historic Places eingetragen.

Als der Bergbau zurückging, bildeten Subsistenzwirtschaft, Holzeinschlag und Tourismus die Grundlage für das Verbleiben der Einwohner im Stehekin Valley. Äpfel bildeten in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine wichtige Kultur. Im Winter stellten Jagd und Fallenstellen einen Teil des Lebens der ganzjährig anwesenden Einwohner dar. Möglicherweise war die Ankunft des United States Forest Service das bedeutendste wirtschaftliche Ereignis im Tal. Mit der Bildung des Stehekin Ranger District 1905 wurde eine verlässliche Einnahmequelle für die Talbewohner begründet.

Auch heute noch ist das Stehekin Valley ziemlich isoliert. Es gibt nur knapp einhundert ständige Einwohner, die meisten sind beim National Park Service angestellt. Der einzige Weg ins Tal ist eine Bootsfahrt über 90 km über den See von Chelan aus. Im Sommer verkehren zwei Boote regelmäßig zwischen Chelan und Stehekin. Im Winter ist dieser Service auf zwei Fahrten wöchentlich eingeschränkt.

Erholung
Seit die Region Teil des Lake Chelan National Recreation Area ist, hat der Tourismus im Sommer einen hohen Stellenwert. Der Stehekin River ist landschaftlich reizvoll und abgelegen; es bieten sich Möglichkeiten für Wildwasser-Rafting und -Kayakfahren. Es gibt eine Reihe von Campingplätzen entlang des Flusses. Der Stehekin River ist für seine exzellenten Möglichkeiten zum Fliegenfischen bekannt.  Regenbogen- und Cutthroat-Forellen werden am erfolgreichsten im Frühjahr geangelt, während im Herbst die Rotlachse bei den Anglern begehrt sind.

Torture in Chechnya: Emergency visas now!
5,827 actions
goal: 8,000
URGENT: Authorities in Chechnya are rounding up, detaining, and torturing hundreds of men assumed to be gay or bisexual in what rights groups are calling "concentration camps".
This is a human rights emergency of that requires an urgent, escalated response. Canada already prioritizes members of the LGBTQ community facing persecution for resettlement - but isn't doing enough for these men who are under extreme risk. A massive petition to Foreign Affairs and Immigration Ministers could pressure Canada to extend emergency visas to these victims and get them out of the region as soon as possible.
Three people have reportedly died, and hundreds of others are facing atrocities in these unlawful prison camps could meet the same fate.[3] We have to act fast. One signature might not make a difference, but thousands will. Sign the petition now.

When that delicious smell fills your kitchen and the timer goes off, be ready to take that perfectly baked creation out and protect your hands with this cute double pot holder. Conveniently hang it on your oven door so you'll never have to search for hot pads again. Make it in any color you'd like to match your kitchen, or sew a few to have on hand for the perfect hostess gift.
Cut two 8 x 24-inch pieces of cotton fabric and one 8 x 24-inch piece of cotton batting.
Create rounded corners on all of the pieces by tracing around a drinking glass and cutting along the line.
Sandwich the batting between the two long pieces with the right sides facing out. Pin in place.
Use a straight edge and a washable marking pen to draw horizontal lines 1 1/2-inches apart. Sew along the lines.
If your fabric slips while sewing, try placing perpendicular pins along each line and slowly sewing over them to keep the layers in place.
Cut four 6 1/2 x 8-inch pieces of cotton and two 6 1/2 x 8-inch pieces of cotton batting. Round the two bottom corners on each piece.
Sandwich the cotton batting in between the 2 pieces of cotton fabric with the right sides facing out and lining up the rounded corners. Open up the bias tape and with right sides together, pin along the raw edges of the straight edge. Sew along the first fold line.
You can purchase bias tape but the colors are limited. If you'd like to learn how to make your own in any color or pattern you'd like, click here.
Wrap the bias tape around the raw edges. Pin and sew in place.
Place the two smaller pocket sections at the ends of the longer rectangle piece. Match the rounded corners and pin in place. Baste around the edges with a 1/4 inch seam allowance.
Add bias tape around the outer edge of the pot holder. Open the bias tape and pin along the entire raw edge of the pot holder.
When you get to the end of the bias tape, fold over a 1/4 inch and pin in place. Overlap the other end about a 1/2 inch.
Sew along the first fold line of the opened bias tape.
Wrap the bias tape around the raw edge, then pin and sew in place.
Now when the timer goes off, you'll be ready to slide both your hands into each of the pockets and grab that hot pan right out of the oven.

Q: Why does adding a number to a string show up as object undefined

var person = "person" + toString(0);

console.log(person);

Why does the output of this make person[object undefined] instead of person0

A: So, to follow from my comment, you are using the toString method completely wrong.
You are doing the following;
var person = "person" + toString(0);

console.log(person);

Giving you the result of person[object Undefined]
However, if you have the following;
var num = 0;
var person = "person" + num.toString();
console.log(person);

This will result in person0 from the console.log
Please see this fiddle for a working example

A: the toString() does not take any arguments. Remove your arguments and you can use this as 'person' + String(0)

Walmart Joins White House Pledge to Curb Climate Change
By Tara Donaldson
The ever-ominous impacts of climate change are already revealing themselves worldwide and now American businesses are doing their part to halt impending hotter temps.
On Monday, the White House launched the American Business Act on Climate pledge and hosted 13 of the country's largest companies dedicated to the effort. Those in tow include: Alco, Apple, Bank of America, Berkshire Hathaway Energy, Cargill, Coca-Cola, General Motors, Goldman Sachs, Google, Microsoft, PepsiCo, UPS and Walmart. Combined, the companies represented $1.3 trillion in revenue last year and a combined market capitalization of at least $2.5 trillion.
According to a White House press statement, 19 of the 20 hottest years on record happened the last two decades, and across the globe countries are experiencing more persistent droughts, more severe weather, bigger storm surges and more frequent and dangerous wildfires.
"No corner of the planet and no sector of the global economy will remain unaffected by climate change in the years ahead," the White House noted.
President Obama's Climate Action Plan, once fully implemented, is expected to cut nearly 6 billion tons of carbon pollution through 2030—an amount roughly equal to taking all of the cars in the U.S. off the road for more than four years.
Companies signing the American Business Act on Climate pledge are making their own promises to reduce emissions, increase low-carbon investments, deploy more clean energy and generally build more sustainable businesses.
As part of the pledge, Walmart said it would drive the production of 7 billion kilowatt hours of renewable energy globally by 2020, a 600 percent increase over its 2010 baseline. The company also said it would double the number of solar energy projects at its stores and distribution centers by 2020 and establish agricultural partnerships with 17 suppliers, cooperatives and service providers on 23 million acres of land in the U.S. and Canada, potentially reducing 11 million metric tons of greenhouse gas in the next five years.
Walmart will also work toward achieving zero net deforestation in product sourcing by 2020.
"At Walmart, we believe climate change is an urgent and pressing challenge, and we must all do our part to reduce, avoid and mitigate the impact of rising greenhouse gas (GHG) levels," the company noted in its individual pledge. "We remain committed to our role in accelerating the transition to a sustainable future."

Five Portlanders are accused of conspiring to create, deal and pass counterfeit bills at such busy retailers as Target, Albertson's, Fred Meyer, Safeway, Walmart, Nordstrom and Subway, according to an indictment handed up on March 28. The crew used ordinary three-in-one printers, resume-quality inkjet paper and dabs of hair gel to construct bogus bills of excellent quality, prosecutors allege.
Nokia's first LTE-capable Windows Phone smartphone, the Lumia 900, is now available for purchase from AT&T. The phone is available for the bargain price of $99.99 on a two year contract, under-cutting most other LTE capable devices by $100 or more. I got mine on Friday and replaced my iPhone immediately. It's faster, the screen is larger, and the Metro interface is dynamic.
More than half a million Apple computers have been infected with the Flashback Trojan, according to Kaspersky security. Its report claims that about 600,000 Macs have installed the malware - potentially allowing them to be hijacked and used as a "botnet". The firm, Dr Web, says that more than half that number are based in the US. Apple has released a security update, but users who have not installed the patch remain exposed. Flashback was first detected last September when anti-virus researchers flagged up software masquerading itself as a Flash Player update. Once downloaded it deactivated some of the computer's security software. Now that Apple is a bigger target we should see more of these is the coming months.
The new iPhone 5 may come out as soon as June of this year, but what about your old iPhone? A report says that ATT may allow a free unlocking code once your contract is up. This would allow you to move your phone to TMobile or another like carrier. It will also increase the value of the older phones resale. Prior to this, unlocking a phone could cost as much as $500.
Facebook has agreed to buy the hugely popular photo-sharing app maker Instagram for about $1 billion in cash and stock in a blockbuster deal reverberating around Silicon Valley. It's about the only thing that could top Justin Bieber on Instagram. Facebook's chief executive and founder made the announcement Monday on Facebook in a post that has already generated tens of thousands of likes. He has pledged to allow Instagram to remain independent. "For years, we've focused on building the best experience for sharing photos with your friends and family. Now, we'll be able to work even more closely with the Instagram team to also offer the best experiences for sharing beautiful mobile photos with people based on your interests," Mark Zuckerberg wrote.
Earlier today, Cricket's parent company Leap Wireless announced a deal that'd see its own Savary Island Wireless, T-Mobile and Cook Intlet/VS GSM VII GPS (itself a T-Mo venture) swap spectrum in a handful of markets. The agreement lets Leap Wireless inherit 10MHz of AWS waves in Phoenix, Houston, Galveston, and Brian-College Station, TX, while the Magenta carrier -- in partnership with Cook Intlet -- would receive spectrum in various markets within Alabama, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Leap's CEO Doug Hutcheson says the move's bound to help "provide us a longer term flexibility to offer a larger LTE channel." Of course, the pact still needs the OK from the FCC, thus the champagne bottles must remain on standby until then.
The US Navy is planning to deploy robot helicopters to help scan the seas for pirates. The Office of Naval Research recently detailed the new system it calls Multi-Mode Sensor Seeker (MMSS), which involves high-definition cameras and sensors along with 3D imaging laser-radar, or LADAR, technology. The new system will be deployed on Fire Scout drones, which have already been helpful at catching cocaine smugglers at sea. With the added 3D radar scanning technology, the drones will be able to automatically compare the 3D images of boats to those of pirate boat profiles on record. This capability will ease the work load on Navy sailors, who would otherwise have to manually comb through an overwhelming amount of data.
When Google officially unveiled Project Glass - the company's bid to develop Terminator-style augmented-reality glasses - we saw a provocative glimpse of the future. The video Google released yesterday showed us the point of view of someone wearing the glasses, with icons, maps and other graphical overlays appearing over the user's complete field of vision. Accompanying photos, meanwhile, showed us how the new glasses might look - but the glasses weren't really glasses. Instead, we saw a system that lacked full lenses, and included just a small, rectangular pieces of glass hovering over the wearer's right eye. If anything, the system in the photos looks similar to what Recon does with its head-up-display snowboarding goggles: Data overlays don't consume one's entire field of vision. Rather, small bits of data appear only in one's peripheral vision. However, according to Pranav Mistry, an MIT Media Lab researcher and one of the inventors of the SixthSense wearable computing system, "The small screen seen in the photos cannot give the experience the video is showing."

Lenovo is prepping a new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich tablet called the IdeaTab S2109, which includes a screen similar to the one Apple used on older versions of the iPad. The forthcoming tablet will have a 9.7-inch display, with a resolution of 1024-by-768 - just like Apple's older iPads, SlashGear noted. A video overview (below) of the upcoming slate indicates that it measures 8.9mm (or about 0.35 inches) in thickness and boasts a gunmetal-finish unibody shell. The IdeaTab S2109 also has a 1.3-megapixel, front-facing camera for video chat, but no rear camera. It sports four speakers on the back, a micro-HDMI jack, a microUSB slot and a microSD memory card slot.

My main research interests are language revitalisation, language policy and planning, mainly from a sociolinguistic perspective. I am particularly interested in 'intellectualisation' of the field of language revitalisation, which is under-theorised.
I have become increasingly interested in literacy practices in endangered languages, and their implications for language policy. I am also interested in making links with other disciplines such as anthropology and human development.
Since 2000 I have been working with the endangered language community in Guernsey, Channel Islands, and have an Endangered Languages Documentation grant for documentation of the indigenous language, Guernesiais.

The Record of a New York Day
A freak, mid-afternoon electrical storm came, went and left the city still hot and perspiring. The hottest temperature was 88 degrees, and, according to the Weather Bureau, it ought to be about the same today. A woman, Ida Bogart, 25, was killed yesterday at Nanuet Lake, N.J. when lightening struck a tree under which she had taken shelter.
Luckily for resorts, the rain was restricted mostly to the Bronx and Washington Heights. There wasn't even a drizzle at Coney Island, which drew 1,000,000 visitors. Despite the heat, only 75,000 of Coney's million went into the water. The remaining 925,000, however, found other forms of amusement.
ATTEMPTED HOLDUP: Just about a half-hour before this picture was taken, Michael Reilly, 23-year-old paroled convict, shown here with Patrolman Thomas Henry, was standing up. According to the police, Reilly, who still "owes" eight years at Danemora [Danemora! That's a coincidence…] for a previous hold up, tried yesterday to hold up a bartender at a tavern at 750 Tenth Ave., near 54th Street.

The other day Adolf's sister-in-law, Mrs. Brigid Hitler, the 49-year-old Dubliner who used to be married to der Fueherer's half-brother, Alois, volunteered for service with the British War Relief. Yesterday William Patrick Hitler, 30, her son and Adolf's nephew, got a good-by kiss from Brigid as he left for Canada to join the fight against his uncle. Photo by Weegee
74 Years Ago Today: "It is characteristic of him to have his picture taken this way…"
"Weegee makes friends readily. On a Chinatown assignment, he got this New Year's lucky wish from a Chinese girl. He has a photo of her painting it pinned above his bed (see picture next page). It is characteristic of him to have his picture taken this way. The cigar is standard equipment."
74 Years Ago Today… "Weegee advises: Get the human interest…"
"Weegee advises: 'If it's a fire don't just start shooting the burning building. Get the human interest: people being rescued or watching the building.' Picture editors found this car, iced by firemen more interesting than smoke and flames."
74 Years Ago Today… "I don't gloat over it, it's my job."
"This is a horrible but fascinating picture of a midget arrested in a vice case, unsuccessfully trying to dodge Weegee's camera. About such pictures Weegee says: 'I'm there to take pictures and I do it. I don't gloat over it, it's my job.'"

A 1970s classic houseplant, hoya is making a comeback in a big way and for good reason. This easy-care low-water succulent thrives indoors and will even flower when grown in just-right conditions.
Chances are if you were alive in the 1970s, you remember this beloved vining houseplant. Maybe it crawled over the cupboards in your grandma's kitchen or perhaps it was nestled in a macramè plant hanger suspended from the ceiling. Hoya, also called wax plant, is a succulent plant with shiny or fuzzy leaves. It produces long, lanky stems and is often grown in a hanging basket but does well in traditional containers, too. It is slow growing so you don't need to worry about it taking over your desktop or forming a curtain of foliage when hung near a window.
Hoya is becoming more available at specialty garden centers and houseplant shops. Look for varieties with narrow, almond-shape leaves that might be all green or variegated. Tricolor hoya (Hoya carnosa 'Variegata') is especially striking with its green, white, and pink colored leaves. 'Shooting Stars' hoya has green foliage and clusters of fragrant star-shaped white flowers. Rope-type hoyas, sometimes called Hindu rope plant, have unusual curled and twisted leaves that line long stems and resemble living ropes.
Hoyas produce clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of white, pink, and red. The waxy petals have a porcelain-like appearance and are often fragrant. Some people find hoya to be too fragrant for indoor settings, so they'll move it outside when it's flowering.
There are many types of hoya and they're all easy to grow. Hoya grows well in low, medium, or bright light, however it doesn't typically bloom in these conditions. Like most flowering plants, the more light hoya receives, the more flowers it will produce.
Water hoya when the soil is dry to the touch. Be mindful not to overwater hoya; its thick stems and leaves store water for dry conditions and it doesn't mind extended periods of drought and low humidity. Generally, hoya requires watering every couple of weeks. Hoya doesn't need fertilizer to grow and bloom. Repotting is rarely necessary for this slow-growing plant. There is evidence that growing hoyas in small pots with constricted roots encourages blooming.

Hundreds of years ago, a king of an Asian country who lived in a port city, received a visit from a king of adjacent country, his friend.
The visitor brought a present with him. It was an elephant.
The visitor gave it and said, "Can you measure the elephant's rough weight in a day?"
The king of the port city consulted with the retainers. "We just have beam scales weighing bags. Do you have any ideas?"
One vassal said, "I can make the relevant measuring equipment assembling large levers and pulleys, your majesty."
"Can you make it in a day?"
Another vassal said, "How about weighing in pieces after killing the elephant?"
At last they found the method and measured the elephant's approximate weight without sophisticated devices.
Load the elephant onto a boat large enough to carry it. The boat will sink slightly, and you mark the level of the water on the side of the boat. Then you offload the elephant and fill the boat with bags until the boat sinks to the level marked. The bags can be individually weighed using beam scales and the weight of the elephant is the sum of the weight of the bags.
This puzzle is slightly cunning in that it the geographic location of the city is a small clue.

Andre Breton's apartment at Rue Fontane, above the strip clubs and clip joints of the Pigalle red light district was by most accounts almost a work of art in its own right. In 2003 the French auctioneers Calmels Cohen put over 5,300 lots under the hammer from Breton's vast collection of books, manuscripts, works of art and objects at Drouot-Richelieu; the catalogue alone extends to 8 volumes. The sale included 150 items of Oceanic art, the most important being the magnificent Uli statue from Central New Ireland, Papua New Guinea that graced his desk for many years.
Once again it is instructive to look at the Surrealist Map of the World (reference my previous post Redraw the Map, Re-Write History and Re-Invent Reality) to see the importance official Surrealism attached to the islands of the Pacific. In this idealised rendering of how the world should be according to the Surrealists, Papua New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago is centrally located and larger than both Europe and Africa and truly dwarfs Australia.
Central to Papua New Guinea artistic reputation within Surrealist circles were the Uli, ancestor figures used for rites and endowed with immense magical powers. When a chieftain died his skull was buried and a tree planted on top of the burial place. After the tree had matured it was then cut down and the Uli was fashioned from the wood. The Uli are often bearded with protruding jaw and phallus to represent the traditional masculine attributes of strength and protection, while also possessing breasts as the ideal chieftain must maternally nurture and provide. When the Uli wasn't participating in fertility, initiation and funerary rituals it would be kept in its own special enclosure away from prying eyes.
Breton was very taken with the Uli, naming a beloved Skye terrier Uli and dedicating a poem which I have included below. I have also included photographs for some of the most outstanding examples of this figure that Breton calls Grand Dieu, as well as the Future Sound of London's seminal dance track Papua New Guinea, the video of which doesn't include either the Uli or Papua New Guinea much as far as I can see, but does have some magic squares.
The great Italian director Federico Fellini noticed Nico when she walked through the set of his most famous film La Dolce Vita and he immediately gave her a small cameo role starring as herself. This seemed to always happen to Nico, she had got her break in modelling by simply standing outside an upscale Berlin department store. With her striking, stunning beauty she was always going to attract attention.
Nico's life is the stuff of legend and like all legends the exact details are somewhat hazy. She was either born in 1938 or 1943 in either Cologne or Budapest (though it was probably 1938 in Cologne). She started modelling at 16 in Berlin which led to a peripatetic existence that was to continue throughout her life. She spent a large part of the Sixties in New York where she met Andy Warhol and consequently become one of his Superstars, starring in his experimental extravaganzas, most notably Chelsea Girls. Warhol then decided that The Factory house band The Velvet Underground needed a chaunteuse and who better than Nico, the Teutonic Ice Queen with her distinctive husky, heavily accented monotone? The main movers in The Velvet Underground, the singer Lou Reed and the Welsh sound wizard John Cale initially met the suggestion with consternation. Nico was a notoriously capacious and difficult character who was also tone deaf. However she featured on lead vocals on three songs (Femme Fatale, I'll Be Your Mirror and All Tomorrows Parties) on their ground-breaking and hugely influential debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico.
She left the group to pursue a solo career, however she only started to write her own material at the suggestion of Jim Morrison of The Doors with who she had a particularly intense relationship. After his death she dyed her hair black and started to sport heavy, dark clothes and recorded with the help of John Cale the desolate, wintry The Marble Index in 1969, the first of three albums unmatched in their crushing bleakness. Unsurprisingly there all sold poorly, as Cale remarked 'you can't sell suicide,' and Nico spent the next two decades as the junkie Dietrich. Her addiction was such that hardened drug fiends crossed the road to avoid her.
Nico's death was spectacularly bathetic. She had finally getting her act together: successfully kicking her heroin habit and re-established relations with her adult son Ari from her relationship with the actor Alain Delon. She was on holiday with Ari in the Balearic island of Ibiza when she announced that she was off to buy some marijuana and on the way fell off her bicycle suffering a cerebral haemorrhage. A taxi driver found her on the hillside and took her to four hospitals before she was admitted. She was misdiagnosed as suffering from sunstroke before dying the next day.
Nico, known as the Moon Goddess and Queen of the Bad Girls was cremated and buried in her mother's grave in Berlin.

Q: What does "spark our hidden creative streak" mean? There is a sentence (the bold one) that I can't understand what the writer talks about :

All of the objects and animals in these images have been generated by
  a computer vision model called Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)!
  This is one of the most popular branches of deep learning right now.
  It certainly helps that they spark our hidden creative streak!

Source : https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2020/01/generative-models-gans-computer-vision/
Hope someone could help me.

A: The writer of the website asks

Can you pick out what's odd in the below collection of images?

Therein follows a set of eight seemingly random images ranging from a peacock to a salt cellar. I thought the reader had to identify the photo which had nothing in common with the other seven images but I was wrong, all the images are "odd" because they have been created artificially by machine learning systems called GANs.
The field of "computer vision" nevertheless sparks (ignites, stimulates, unleashes etc.) our hidden creative streak, which refers to the ability to use  imagination and intelligence in a creative, original way. Sometimes an ability (talent, gift) is said to be hidden if a person never knew they had it.

streak
  2. An element of a specified kind in someone's character.
'there's a streak of insanity in the family'
  'Lucy had a ruthless streak'
  'Today's reading highlights the jealous streak in his character.'

Q: Rails4: ForbiddenAttributesError on Model Update I get a ForbiddenAttributesError when I send an update to my Rails 4 controller.
The model is 'Company' and it has a private method in it's controller:
 def company_params

                                  )
end

BetterErrors shows me these Request parameters:
{"utf8"=>"✓", "_method"=>"patch", "authenticity_token"=>"0rDHB7BNuHikL3/Fktdaj6BFFDinpUwPdpy+12HdMw4=", "company"=>{"adress_id"=>"", "name"=>"AGIP Tankstelle Rapperswil", "zusatz"=>"", "kontakt"=>"Eni Suisse S.A.", "strasse"=>"Zürcherstrasse 92", "adresszusatz"=>"", "plz"=>"8640", "ort"=>"Rapperswil", "telefon"=>"", "fax"=>"", "natel"=>"", "email"=>"", "url"=>"", "anbieter_id"=>"", "eintrittsdatum"=>"", "betrag"=>"", "bemerkungen"=>"", "betrag_gwrj"=>"", "betrag_sgkv"=>"", "rechnungszusatz"=>"", "zusatzfeld_7"=>"test", "zusatzfeld_8"=>"", "zusatzfeld_9"=>"", "zusatzfeld_10"=>"", "datum_mutation"=>"", "verzeichnis_id"=>"HR & Stadt", "alternative_email"=>""}, "commit"=>"Speichern", "action"=>"update", "controller"=>"companies", "id"=>"375"}

The form looks like this:

        <%= f.label :adress_id %>
        <%= f.text_field :adress_id %>

...
      <%= f.submit "Speichern" %>

  <% end %>

And this is the Update Method in the controller:
def update
@company = Company.find(params[:id])
if @company.update_attributes(params[:company])
  redirect_to(@company)
else
  render :edit
end
end

If I use the "company" hash in the rails console and create a company via Company.create [hash], it works fine. Any idea why Rails is throwing this error at me?

A: Be sure than in your controller you're using company_params in update_attributes:
  def update
    @company = Company.find(params[:id])

    respond_to do |format|

      # Here use company_params and not params[:company]
      if @company.update_attributes(company_params)
        format.html { redirect_to @company, notice: 'company updated.' }
        format.json { head :no_content }
      else
        format.html { render action: "edit" }
        format.json { render json: @company.errors, status: :unprocessable_entity }
      end
    end
  end

Getting all caught up on my current inventory, the rest of my finished rocks are on the website today.
I'm trying out some new things with photographing and editing with different apps. I'm pretty pleased with how simply I can pull together a mini portfolio for each rock, showing them off from all angles.
I use my iPhone 6 as my only camera, and adjust color and cropping right on the phone. Then I use two apps, Layout and Font Candy (both free) to combine multiple pictures into one photo, and then to add text. It takes less than a minute for each step.
Next I text the finished collage to myself, and open it in Messages on my MacBook, where I drag it to the desktop so I can easily drop it into place on my website, Facebook, Tumblr, and anywhere else I might want to share a photo.
It doesn't get any easier, cheaper, or low-tech than this.
I'll share more rocks as I make them. I can't seem to stop, and why would I want to?
These are making me very happy.


Your Sexually Transmitted Disease Test Kits will be shipped to you for your private and convenient testing.
Our goal is to encourage sexual infection testing and to ensure individuals protect their health and the health of others through early detection.
Your STD Home Test Kits will be billed as 'Health Products'. They are packaged and shipped discretely.


Then what would be solution absent these tests? Interviews? What standards?
All majors don't use the Hogan. Yet those that don't do not appear to have pilots substantially inferior to those that do. That would seem to scuttle the business necessity argument.
Why are you so anxious to defend a test that has little if any power to distinguish between people who will be successful in the job and those who won't?
The issue comes down to something in group statistics called Bayes Theorem. If you were using personality testing on an unscreened group - just guys off the street - personality testing like MMPI Or the Hogan would have reasonable statistical power to pick out the 1% who are schizophrenic and the 3 or 4% who are chronically depressed. The predictive value of a positive assessment or negative assessment might be pretty decent. But that isn't what you are doing. When you change the population being screened to a group that - for instance, has safely accumulated 5000 flying hours including 1500-2000 of 121 time, has passed a half dozen physicals (even FAA physicals), has a clean police record, passed the KCM check, and has a few recommendations from people with similar qualifications who know him/her, you've ALREADY eliminated the vast majority of the problem children, so even if you apply the exact same criteria, the value of the test goes way down.
Your percentage of false positives doesn't change, but there are barely any true positives to be found. Basically if you use the results to cull half the applicants, the bottom half that you are eliminating do not differ in any meaningful way from the 'top' half you are keeping.
I mean, don't take my word for it. Look up Bayes Theorem or ask some statistician. By the time you apply a screening test to a population that has already been heavily screened by other criteria you might as well just flip a coin and save the money.

Home State of the Nation South East Asaba Airport to resume operation soon – Delta SSG
Asaba Airport to resume operation soon – Delta SSG
By Ifeanyi Olannye
Asaba, Aug. 6, 2020 The Delta Government said on Thursday that modalities were being worked out to ensure resumption of flight operations at the Asaba Airport soon.
The Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Mr Chiedu Ebie, made the disclosure while inspecting the airport, ahead of the planned resumption of operations.
Naija247news recalls that the state government shut down the airport on March 27, to stem the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the state.
Ebie said the airport was ready to resume operations, in line with the stipulated guidelines and COVID-19 protocols to contain the spread of the virus.
He said the state government had put measures in place to ensure assengers' compliance with the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) COVID-19 guidelines for aviation activities.
The SSG said the inspection was to ascertain the level of preparations on the part of the management of the airport for the full resumption of flight operations.
He expressed satisfaction with the level of compliance with guidelines by the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) and the NCDC against the spread of the virus.
Ebie disclosed that personnel of the airport were currently undergoing training to enable them to function optimally in line with the "new normal."
He also said that when flight operations resumed, no fewer than six airlines, including Ibom Air, Azman and Arik Air, would be on the Asaba route.
He gave the assurance that the state government would ensure that physical distancing and wearing of face masks were maintained in the operation of the airport.
Ebie, however, noted that it was not the state government's duty to regulate air fares, but it would ensure that the airport ranked among the best in the country.
"The state government has no right to regulate the fares as the airlines are in business, but government will continue to do its best to ensure that the airport remains one of the best in the country," he said.
On his part, the Special Project Director of the airport, Mr Austin Ayemidejor, said steps had been taken to ensure physical distancing, compulsory wearing of face masks, washing of hands and temperature check at the point of entry.
Ayemidejor who conducted the SSG roud airport, said that it was ready to host full flight operations.
Also in the inspection team were the state Commissioner for Information, Mr Charles Aniagwu; the Commissioner for Finance, Sir Fidelis Tilije; and the Chief of Staff, Government House, Chief David Edevbie.
The team inspected the ticketing hall, departure and arrival halls as well as other sections of the airport.

"Hispanic Heritage Foundation, CVS Health, Navarro Pharmacy and FIU Launch School-Based Health Care Interventions Pilot in Miami"
MIAMI, FL – October 28, 2014 – (HISPANICIZE WIRE) – The Hispanic Heritage Foundation (HHF), CVS Health, and Navarro Pharmacy will host a special site visit at Booker T. Washington High's school based health center (SBHC) to launch a pilot program to deliver training and improved strategies to select SBHC teams in the greater Miami Region, which will reach approximately 100,000 students and their families over the next 12 months. The pilot will be replicable and scalable across the country and will leverage HHF's LOFT (Latinos On Fast Track) Healthcare Track, which will engage Latino students from FIU to assist in the effort and provide them with practical experiences.
"This pilot is part of our LOFT Healthcare Track which works to diversify the healthcare field and was inspired by Dr. Joe Greer who continues to be a local and national leader in providing care to those in need. He has served as a role model and mentor to countless talented young people in our Healthcare Track for many years and to bring Joe, FIU, CVS Health and HHF together for this effort is very exciting"
The event will take place on Tuesday, October 28, from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m., at Booker T. Washington High School SBHC, 1200 NW, 6th Ave, Miami, FL, which is a member of the School Based Health Alliance, another CVS Health Workforce Initiatives' collaborating partner in this arena and will feature Dr. Pedro Jose Greer, Jr., Florida International University Chair of the Department of Humanities, Health, and Society Associate Dean for Community Engagement, FIU Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine, who is also HHF Chair Emeritus, board member and the inspiration for the LOFT Healthcare Track. Also attending will be CVS Health Senior Director of Workforce Initiatives, Ernest DuPont, HHF President and CEO Jose Antonio Tijerino.
"We are thrilled to be a part of this impactful effort in Miami through our partnership with CVS Health and FIU which will involve our talented young Latinos who will gain experience and mentoring through this program," said Tijerino. "This pilot is part of our LOFT Healthcare Track which works to diversify the healthcare field and was inspired by Dr. Joe Greer who continues to be a local and national leader in providing care to those in need. He has served as a role model and mentor to countless talented young people in our Healthcare Track for many years and to bring Joe, FIU, CVS Health and HHF together for this effort is very exciting."
The Miami regional strategy will be based on the findings from an effort currently being led by DuPont's team and CVS Health Chief Diversity Officer David Casey in Chicago, called the SBHC Innovation Project, which is currently pioneering a new model for supporting student academic achievement by strategically delivering preventative and primary health care in schools. The following week, Casey, along with other CVS Health executive leaders, will host LOFT students at a follow-up event on site at CVS Health Customer Support Center in Woonsocket, RI to foster an exchange of ideas regarding addressing health care disparities and encouraging minority pursuit of health care careers.
In the new pilot, learnings from the Chicago innovation project, whose partners include Chicago Public Schools, Illinois Department of Public Health, EverThrive and medical provider Advocate Health, will be specifically applied for Miami area students' benefit and will focus on respiratory health including.
– Asthma screenings, action plans and compliance
– Increased flu immunization rates
– Smoking cessation strategies

I have noticed some new email scams going around, One of the latest is supposedly from the police at the moment seems to be from Greater Manchester police, saying that you have been caught for speeding and asking you to click a link.
I got one of these scam emails the other day (see above) say that a speed camera had caught me doing 67mph in a 30mph zone, I did have to read it twice as recently I have had a speeding fine, but that was in Staffordshire and any speeding documents will come through the post and not email. The main give away that it is a fake is that the email lists speed limit, speed of vehicle, as well as road, date and speed camera id BUT no registration number.
The email asks to click on a link, if you click this link will download some malware on your computer and will probably harvest banking details etc.
This is like any other scam emails asking you to click on a link, around normally September and January you get the fake ones from inland revenue advising of a tax refund again these are scams.
So here are some quick tips on how to spot these fake emails.
[ ] Normally the English isn't that great in the email with spelling mistakes etc.
[ ] check the link ie if on mobile you can long press the link or on pc hover mouse over the link, this will show you the website it is linking to and the site address is nothing like the company it is being sent from.
[ ] if unsure Delete the email and get in contact with the company direct either by going to the website direct or by phoning them.
[ ] Most email scams do install malware which is mainly pc, so make sure your virus checker is up to date.
