Ledger Nano X is designed to be the easiest hardware wallet to use. It's compatible with both Android and iOS devices. A USB cable can be used to connect the device to your computer. The screen displays your transactions and private keys. You can set it up in just five minutes.
The Ledger Nano S can be used to safely store digital tokens and coins, regardless of whether you're new to it or an expert. It has strong security features to protect your assets, and it can be easily set up and used without any technical skills.
The Nano S is a slim and elegant hardware wallet. You can use it on a computer, or connect to a USB cable. It comes with a screen built in, making it easy to see your accounts.
You will be asked to enter a pin code when setting up the Nano S. The PIN protects your cryptocurrency assets in case you lose your device. You must remember the four-digit PIN number. You should also keep it safe.
Compared to the older Nano S model, the Nano S Plus has a larger display screen and more memory. It also supports more coins, a larger number of applications, and offers better functionality. It's also easier and cheaper to use.
Ledger is a well-known hardware wallet manufacturer. They are well-respected and have excellent customer service. They have a website and a dedicated team of customer support. They also have an academy.
Nano S Plus wallet offers many features. It has a large screen and has multi-signature support. It also supports NFTs. It can be used with both PCs and mobile devices. It uses a certified secure chip. It can be purchased from the Ledger website. You also get a case made of plastic.
The Nano S Plus can support up to 100 applications simultaneously, which is one of its best features. It can also support DeFi, which allows users to stake a variety of cryptocurrencies in a safe and secure manner. You can also stake coins like Polodot or Tezos.
Among hardware wallets, the Ledger Nano Wallet is the best-known device. It offers an easy way to store almost any digital asset. It uses a certified secure chip to protect private keys.
A secure chip is the same type used in credit cards and passports. When you store private keys on a secure chip, they are not exposed to the Internet. This makes it safer.
You can also install up to three different crypto wallets. This allows you to keep your ledger and private keys separate. You can also set a passphrase to let you access your wallets. This is ideal for crypto beginners.
Ledger Nano S is the safest and most secure hardware wallet. It uses a dual chip architecture to protect private keys. It comes in an anti-tamper sealed box. The secure chip stores your private keys, and the ST31H320 (OS), chip protects your coins. The device also has a built-in display panel.
The flaw allows an attacker to install malware that would siphon off private keys from users' crypto accounts. An attacker can also install malicious code on a Ledger device, similar to the BadUSB attack. Ledger released a security update to fix the flaw.
These attacks are prevented by the Ledger NanoX. An attacker must have physical possession of the device in order to install malware. It's a good idea to buy a Ledger device from an official retailer. It's also a good idea to create a backup of the recovery phrase.
First, create a recovery phrase. Unlike a password, a recovery phrase is not stored on the device. It must be written out on paper. Then, you must create a PIN number that can be used to access the device.
Once you are ready to begin the process, you will be presented with a list of words. Each word should be reviewed and arranged in the correct order. If you are having trouble, you can always contact Ledger customer support.
Ledger Nano X, a USB storage wallet, supports more than 1,100 coins and tokens. It works with both Android and iOS devices. It can also be connected to mobile devices using Bluetooth.

The first version of the innovative smartphone line Galaxy Note has just received the possibility to be updated to Android 4.1.2 through a test Firmware version XXLSA. Last week it was the Galaxy Note 2 who received the update.
Although this is a test firmware provided to the public by Sammobile, it seems that it performs really close to an official firmware. There are still some problems with the S Pen functionality in Android 4.1.2 that should be solved when the official Samsung firmware gets released. This should be sometime in December/January.
!!!This is not an official update, this is a test firmware that comes before an official update. The installation requires you to use ODIN. If you don't know what this is, you should do some research first before proceeding with the installation. Also we cannot be held responsible if anything bad happens to your phone, so be careful.
After the phone reboots you should be able to use Android 4.1.2 version XXLSA on your Galaxy Note device.


The 2017 cruise season at Ports of Stockholm has set a new record, with total passenger numbers reaching 600 000. These passengers spend more than SEK 0.5 billion in the Stockholm region.
The 2017 cruise season concludes on 13 October with the arrival of the Norwegian Getaway at the Port of Nynäshamn. The number of cruise passengers for 2017 has reached an all-time-high of 600 000. This is an increase of 22 percent in comparison to the previous year.
"Every month, almost for the past year, Stockholm has grown as an international tourist destination. The revenue from cruise passenger spending is important for both the tourist industry and for the entire Stockholm region," explains Thomas Andersson, Visit Stockholm CEO.
Over the course of the international cruise ship season, which runs from May until October, 263 cruise ships have called at Ports of Stockholm. Of these a record number, 73 cruise ship calls, were what is known as turnarounds, with passengers beginning and/or ending their cruises in Stockholm. Passengers then often spend an extra day and night on land, which benefits the tourist industry even further. In total the cruise ship passengers spend more than SEK 0.5 billion on sightseeing, hotels, restaurant visits and shopping in Stockholm.
"It is very positive to see passenger numbers increasing and Stockholm retaining its popularity as a cruise destination at the same time as we are developing and adapting our quays to be able to offer the shipping companies top class service," states Stefan Hansson, Chair of the Board at Port of Stockholm.
This year an entirely new cruise ship quay-berth was completed at the Värtahamnen port, to enable more cruise ships to call. The installation in 2016 of the Seawalk, a 260 metre-long retractable floating pier at the Port of Nynäshamn, has resulted in increased flexibility and improved service. During the 2017 cruise season 22 cruise ships called at the Port of Nynäshamn, and almost all of these used the Seawalk.
The international cruise ship season runs from May until October. Ferry services operate all-year-round in the Baltic Sea, with routes to Finland, Poland, the Baltic States and Russia. Each year approximately eleven million passengers travel using these ferry routes.

The example used in this scenario will be based on the RFID processing solution that was used in the duplicate messaging scenario. The scenario was based on an RFID tag reader that would read the RFID tags for products in an order and send them, via a queue, to a check out application. The scenario worked well in that duplicate detection was used to suppress any duplicate RFID tag messages.
There is, however, a major flaw in the implementation. If the RFID tags for more than one order are read at the same time the checkout application is unable to determine which tag reads came from which order, and will be merged onto a single order. It is also not possible to load-balance the checkout applications, as items from the different orders will be received by different instances of the application.
This can be seen if the application is tested with three tag reader consoles sending orders to checkout console.
When all three tag reader consoles send orders simultaneously the following results are displayed in the checkout console.
The tag-read messages sent by the three console applications have all been aggregated into one bill for the customer.
In order for the solution to ensure that the tag-read messages from a single are processed as one batch or sequence rather than individual messages, the solution must be modified to use message sessions.


Sure a quality tenant mix is important, but engaging the community through programming is becoming an essential element of a successful retail center.
Curated and organized programming is becoming an essential element of a successful retail center. While the evolution of retail has been focused on tenant mix and Internet-resistant tenants, programming has become a way to engage the community and drive foot traffic to a retail center. This can come from both the landlord and from the retailers in the center, the combination of which helps to create a dynamic environment.

Manuel Charr claims he's in negotiations with Anthony Joshua over a potential replacement fight on June 1 in New York.
The 34-year-old WBA 'regular' heavyweight champion entered the fray after AJ's initial opponent, Jarrell Miller, failed a drugs test.
It was announced in the early hours of Wednesday morning that the American tested positive for GW1516 (a metabolic modulator also known as cardarine and endurobol) and therefore the fight may not go ahead, depending on the New York State Athletic Commission's ruling.
As a result, Joshua's team are now looking for possible alternatives.
There's every chance they are speaking to a number of different fighters, though Charr quickly came out and made it public that he is among them.
He wrote on social media: "Internal negotiations are taking place regarding the fight in June against Anthony Joshua.
"I am very happy about this task and the challenge. I'm ready to go to fight against Joshua and bring home the victory.
"As the and reigning WBA ['regular'] champion, I'm the most worthy opponent for Anthony Joshua. I am the suitable and official challenger.
There's no doubt a fight between Joshua and Charr would be a big disappointment for boxing fans if it came to fruition.
Charr is an ageing, 31-4 heavyweight who has not boxed since picking up the WBA 'regular' belt in November 2017.
His four losses have come to Vitali Klitschko, Alexander Povetkin, Johann Duhaupas and Mairis Briedis.


JD Dam Lake, Perkins Tank, Elk Tank and Middle Tank are located about 20 south of Williams. Directions I have from a fishing book take me through Flagstaff then to Williams then south to the lakes.
Is there a more scenic route to these lakes. Slower driving than the interstate is ok too.
Are you kidding about the route or the scenery?
Game and Fish told me JD has little water and isn't worth fishing.
it was terribly low this spring,with a die off....on top of that a wild fire in area made J.D. a water stop for refilling the choppers dumping water on the blaze. Give it a rest and hope for a winter with snow.
J.D. suffered a major fish kill in July. Some fish survived but fishing will be poor until we restock the lake. Remember: Regulations on J.D are flies and lures only with single barbless hooks; all fish must be immediately released. This lake is managed as a catch-and-release fishery.


Celine Dion is the latest music icon to get a movie based on her life.
The French-Canadian superstar will have her life and career adapted into a movie, and will be released in 2020.
The Power Of Love has been commissioned by French movie studio Gaumont, with permission granted by Celine Dion herself.
The movie will apparently focus on Celine's upbringing in Charlemagne, Quebec, her rise to fame as a teenager, and her relationship with her late manager and husband René Angélil.
According to Variety, Valerie Lemercier will direct the French-language film and star as Céline, and the film will include many of the singer's classics like 'My Heart Will Go On' and the title track.
It is expected to be released on December 2, 2020, with filming slated to begin in March.
There also films in the works about David Bowie, Aretha Franklin and Dusty Springfield.

MGP names Matt Greeno lead master distiller
21 January 2021 By Nicola Carruthers
Third-party spirits producer MGP Ingredients has promoted Matt Greeno to the position of lead master distiller.
Matt Greeno has worked for MGP Ingredients since 2011
In his new role, Greeno will be responsible for safeguarding the quality of distillation and supporting new product development for contract-distilling customers and the company's brands.
Greeno will be in charge of MGP's master distillers and process engineers, and will manage technical processes across the firm's distillery operations in Kansas, Indiana and Washington DC.
To support product development, Greeno will partner with MGP's alcohol research and development, and innovations teams to create new concepts and custom mash bills and distillates.
David Dykstra, MGP's vice president of alcohol sales and marketing, said: "Matt's new role supports our strategy of developing 'bench strength' with MGP team members who are highly skilled in distilling and blending.
"This allows us to serve customers of any size with quality spirits and, for those seeking to stand out in a crowded market, exceptional customised products."
Greeno joined MGP in autumn 2011 as a plant process engineer at the company's headquarters in Atchison, Kansas. He received his master distiller certification from MGP in 2019. Greeno graduated from the University of Kansas with a bachelor of science in chemical engineering/physics in 2010, and received an MBA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 2020.
"Greeno's knowledge and expertise in distilling both gins and whiskeys is important as MGP Brands expands its portfolio," said Andy Mansinne, MGP's vice president of brands.
"We look forward to even more collaborations between our talented master distillers and master blenders in 2021 and beyond to innovate with exciting new gins and whiskeys that will elevate our position in the marketplace. Matt will play an important role in this evolution."

Q: Find the matrix of linear transformation. Find the matrix (in standard base) of the linear transformation $T$:
$R^{4}\rightarrow R^{4}$, given:
$$Ker(T)=lin \{ |2,1,1,2|^{T}, |1,2,1,1|^{T}\}  \\
Im(T)=lin \{ |1,0,1,0|^{T}, |0,1,1,1|^{T}\}  $$
I'm not exactly sure how to approach this problem. Could anyone explain how to solve this?

A: First solve the simpler version of this:
$\ker T = \operatorname{span} \{e_1, e_2\}$ and
$\operatorname{im} T = \operatorname{span} \{e_1, e_2\}$. Call the matrix that you get from solving this problem $A$.
Then once you find $A$, find change of basis matrices $P$ and $Q$ with the property that $P$ takes the basis for the kernel to $e_1$ and $e_2$ and $Q$ takes the basis for the image to $e_3$ and $e_4$.
Express the matrix that you want in terms of $A$, $P$, and $Q$.

A: First, the cannonical base of $\mathbb{R}^4$ is $\{(1,0,0,0),(0,1,0,0),(0,0,1,0),(0,0,0,1)\}$. You can define a linear transformation by defining what it do to the base. But it will be hard using directly the standard base, so that we will complete $\{(2,1,1,2),(1,2,1,1)\}$ (this set is l.i. so we can do the completion)(note that this will be useful because we will define $T$ to be zero in $\{(2,1,1,2),(1,2,1,1)\}$ and to take $T$ into the wanted image), we take the $\mathbb{R}^4$ base $\{(1,0,0,0),(2,1,1,2),(1,2,1,1), (0,0,0,1)\}$ (if you have trouble finding this you can ask me). So we define:
$$T(1,0,0,0)=(1,0,1,0),$$
$$T(2,1,1,2)=(0,0,0,0),$$
$$T(1,2,1,1)=(0,0,0,0),$$
$$T(0,0,0,1)=(0,1,1,1).$$
Now, we have to compute the value of $T$ at the vectors $(0,1,0,0),(0,0,1,0)$. In fact, we have that: $(0,1,0,0)=(1,2,1,1)-(2,1,1,2)+(1,0,0,0)+(0,0,0,1)$, since $T$ is lineal, we have that:
\begin{align}
T(0,1,0,0) & = T(1,2,1,1)-T(2,1,1,2)+T(1,0,0,0)+T(0,0,0,1) \\
           & = T(1,0,0,0)+T(0,0,0,1) \\
           & = (1,0,1,0)+(0,1,1,1) \\
           & = (1,1,2,1).
\end{align}
And $(0,0,1,0)=(1,2,1,1)-(1,0,0,0)-(0,0,0,1)-(0,1,0,0)$, so that:
\begin{align}
T(0,0,1,0) & = T(1,2,1,1)-T(1,0,0,0)-T(0,0,0,1)-T(0,1,0,0) \\
           & =  -T(1,0,0,0)-T(0,0,0,1)-T(0,1,0,0)\\
           & = -(1,0,1,0)-(0,1,1,1)-(1,1,2,1) \\
           & = (-2,-2,-4,-2).
\end{align}
Summarizing the above, we have obtained:
\begin{align}
T(1,0,0,0) & = (1,0,1,0) \\
T(0,1,0,0) & = (1,1,2,1) \\
T(0,0,1,0) & = (-2,-2,-4,-2) \\
T(0,0,0,1) & = (0,1,1,1).
\end{align}
Therefore, we have that $im(T)=\mbox{span}\{T(1,0,0,0),T(0,0,0,1)\}=\mbox{span}\{(1,0,1,0),(0,1,1,1)\}$. And the kernel is $\mbox{span}\{(2,1,1,2),(1,2,1,1)\}$ as required. And,
$$\left[T\right]_\beta^\beta=\begin{pmatrix}
1 & 1 & -2 & 0 \\

Premiere: The Political Protest in Emily Afton's Outspoken "The Veil"
A powerful reminder that silence is deafening and voting matters, Emily Afton's "The Veil" is an outspoken political protest against not only privilege and ignorance, but also societal sedation and oppression.
Stream: "The Veil" – Emily Afton
'The Veil' is about how privilege and ignorance are dangerous, and how those who are dealt the most privilege get to stay asleep the longest.
It's been getting harder and harder to ignore political discourse in our everyday, but why is that? Political science professors and students alike profess that "politics is life" – it affects everything from your rights and your safety, to the water you drink and the public transport at your disposal. So why does everything seem louder now? It must be more than just the age in which we found ourselves.
Emily Afton's new single "The Veil" tackles this important question with thoughtful poise and infectious style. A powerful reminder that silence is deafening and voting matters, Afton's dynamic performance is an outspoken political protest against not only privilege and ignorance, but also societal sedation and oppression.
Stand up and be heard, before it's too late.
The Veil – Emily Afton
Who would have thought
Who could have imagined
It would all turn out this way
He came along
They had their hearts out
Out on their sleeves to be taken
And I watched as his words
His words took hold at dawn
Like a plague in the night
And I watched as he turned
Turned their fears into hate
Now I see fire in their eyes
Atwood Magazine is proud to be premiering the Alex Mortensen-directed music video for "The Veil," the opening single off Emily Afton's forthcoming EP Consideration (out March 2020). Following 2016's debut album Archetype, Consideration finds the San Diego-born, Oakland-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist returning with wave after wave of compelling, immersive music. "The Veil" is a perfect example of Afton's striking creativity at work: Not so much anti-Trump as it is anti-the forces that allowed a Trumpian figure to manifest and propagate, Afton's song smartly speaks more to progressives and moderates on the left than it does to anyone else. It's a reminder that together we win, divided we lose; that nothing happens if people stay silent; and that oppressive regimes eventually rob all of their rights, even if it starts with just some.
Listening to "The Veil," I'm reminded of the poem First They Came, a powerful piece of post-Holocaust writing:
First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist…
Then they came for the trade unionists
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
Because I was not a Jew
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
Emily Afton
Just as this poem warns of the impact of not speaking out, "The Veil" reminds us that we are powerless if we stay silent and allow others around us – whether in our lives, or just on the TV screen – to be discriminated against, no matter who they are, what they believe in, where they're from, or what they look like. Afton's chorus is simply stunning – a much-needed jolt to the senses, especially as we now find ourselves in another election year:
So don't call this a bad dream now
Because while you are sleeping
they take everything away
Don't tell me not to scream now
In my scream they heard
my life and couldn't look away
They couldn't look away
While "The Veil" looks and feels like it might have been written just yesterday, the song is actually three years old — written for the San Francisco Women's March following Donald Trump's inauguration.
Its words pre-date the "Muslim ban," family separation and the immigration detention facilities, an empowered ICE, the US withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord… the list goes on.
Are we desensitized?
"'The Veil' is the opening track off Consideration, our EP coming out this March. I wrote this song three years ago when I was invited to play the Women's March in San Francisco, just after Donald Trump was inaugurated," Afton tells Atwood Magazine. "When I first performed it (for an estimated 40,000 people), it was only half finished; I was still figuring out what I was trying to express about what was happening in our country. It has been 3 years, and The Veil's release coincides with another election cycle – another time when politics are at the forefront of our national consciousness."
Afton continues, "'The Veil' is about how privilege and ignorance are dangerous, and how those who are dealt the most privilege get to stay asleep the longest. It's about the place between facing the oppressor within myself as a white person while being dehumanized as a queer person in Trump's America. It's about learning when to use my voice, and how to scream loudly in the presence of injustice."
"The video was shot by my friend Alex Mortensen in my hometown San Diego. We wanted to focus on the role of TV and the news cycle. I wanted the only two characters in the video to be myself and the TV, so as to highlight that this was MY perspective and to not speak for anyone else. We included images of women and girls screaming as a way to show the breaking of silence and awakening from societal sedation. It feels appropriate to release this as we experience the 2020 primary elections. When you use your voice, people are forced to see the human within you."
When you use your voice, people are forced to see the human within you.
That we could stoop so low
And now the curtain's been drawn
The veil has been lifted
Now the truth we all know
We all know
That this isn't a dream now
'Cause while we were sleeping
they took everything away
Ooh your voice is power, your voice is power
An evocative indie pop song with an ominous message, Emily Afton's new music is as catchy as it is serious.
Her forthcoming Consideration EP is described as an expression of "being a woman and artist in today's world." The songs are the lens through which she sees herself and her peers in this moment – a moment fraught with distress and waning hope as Democrats see increasing infighting between presidential primary candidates' divided factions. If we can't come together as one party and one country – if we can't get back to those American freedoms and ideals that everyone so desperately wants to believe in – then we'll never get anywhere.
"The Veil" is a political protest because politics matters; because politics really is life, and it really does impact everyone. Maybe – even if it wasn't right, it felt okay to be silent, once-upon-a-time. Silence is no longer an option today. Today, we lift the veil and speak out, with help from Emily Afton's inspiring new song.

If one created a venn diagram (remember those from elementary school?) with one side being all things weddings and the other side being all things sports, Sports Weddings by The Knot would be the complete middle of said venn diagram. 'Sports Weddings' has articles galore including how to propose at Fenway Park, real grooms cakes for inspiration, and sports favor ideas just to name a few. I almost made this a "Groom's Corner" post but I hesitate to say that only grooms would be interested in this. Not only are there many sports fan brides, but a lot of couples share 'fan-dom' in their college or local sports team. This is for any couple looking to incorporate sports in any way, small or big, into the big celebration.
This website is so appealing because a lot of couples are unsure of how to incorporate a hobby or interest in a tasteful way. 'Sports Weddings' offers various ways to have a sports themed ceremony, reception and everything in between. Some couples may want to focus on their school or team's colors or other couples may want to feature a specific sport. I loved going through the photo galleries and especially the sports wedding board which is full of real brides who are discussing all their plans & giving great ideas. I hope this website serves as a great resource for all the sports fan couples out there. Enjoy!


The Graduate Employment Research Report shows 95 percent of all 2017 FVTC graduates found employment within six months of graduation.
Fox Valley Technical College has seen its graduate employment rates rise again this year.
According to the college's latest Graduate Employment Research Report, 95 percent of all 2017 FVTC graduates found employment within six months of graduation, the highest figure for the school in 17 years.
Similar data on graduate employment at FVTC covering the two previous years showed that 94 percent of alumni found jobs within six months, up from 92 percent in 2014.
The study is done each year and examines the graduation status of students from the previous year's class.
Hilbert native Heather Beil knew she wanted to work in a lab setting as a career while attending high school.
Beil landed an internship at McCain Foods in Appleton, an experience that aided the 19-year-old in later being hired as a quality and food safety specialist at Sargento Foods in Hilbert.
"To support the needs of today's workforce, we're focused on providing graduates with the skill sets in demand while working with employers across the region to expand the knowledge and skills of their current employees," said Susan May, president of FVTC.
Beil's lab science program was one of the 70 programs in which all graduates were able to begin their careers within six months, FVTC officials said.
Each year, more than 2,000 students graduate from FVTC. To view the report, visit www.fvtc.edu/graduateemployment.


Researchers with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences have developed new tools to teach students about invasive plants.
View of tropical forest with a variety of plants and trees in tropical south Florida.
A 16-minute video, "Silent Invaders," allows teachers to introduce students to the concepts of invasive aquatic plants and their management with examples from across the United States.
Additional teaching tools include a Teacher's Guide, Teaching Points, Keyword Chart and Definitions, and Guiding Questions suitable for upper elementary, middle school and high school students. These tools align with Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core Standards.


Speedhub Splined Sprocket, Replacement Sprocket carrier.
The Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 comes fitted with a 16 tooth reversible sprocket. 15 and 17 tooth reversible sprockets are available as alternatives. Hereby, an individual chainring/sprocket combination can be applied. The 15, 16 and 17 tooth sprockets are reversible, and therefore, can be used from both drive sides. For sprocket removal, a special Rohloff sprocket tool is needed.
For the use of the Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 on small wheeled bicycles (e.g. 20", folding bikes and recumbents) the special 13 tooth sprocket is needed. It uses a different chain line (58mm instead of 54mm) and is not reversible. When using a Rohloff chain tensioner on frames with dropouts thinner than 7mm, the longer chain tensioner mounting bolt must be separately ordered. For sprocket removal, a special Rohloff sprocket removal tool is needed.
The Rohloff SPEEDHUB 500/14 has been developed for racing which means that it can handle the heavy loads encountered during competition. Maximum torque loads in extreme conditions can be as high as 250Nm on the crank (= 150kg on the pedal). This will not damage the gear box because the high chainring/sprocket ratio transforms the low number of crank revolutions into a higher number of revolutions at the cog.
The higher the chainring/sprocket ratio, the lower the input torque to the gear-unit. It is imperative therefore that the chainring/sprocket factor does not drop below 1.9 (e.g. 34/17=2.0). The smallest permissible sprocket ratios for a rider weighing less than 100kg are: 32:17, 30:16, 28:15 and 26:13.
These are the equivalent to a 22:40 combination on a conventional drivetrain. There is no limit whatsoever for higher ratios which means that you can mount bigger chainrings than shown on the table for extreme downhill racing.
If the SPEEDHUB is mounted on a tandem bicycle or if the rider weighs over 100kg, a chainring/sprocket factor of 2.5 (e.g. 42/17=2.5) must be upheld. This equates to sprocket ratios of: 42:17, 40:16, 38:15 and 34:13.

The days get shorter during autumn, and the darkness lasts longer. As the leaves turn, life does as well. This annual change ushers in another season and all of its inherent possibilities. For as dark as it may seem, it offers the promise of a new chapter. Such contrast fuels Alberta, Canada metal outfit Arrival of Autumn. Sonically, precise metallic pummeling offsets sweeping and soaring hooks, while thematically apocalyptic imagery undercuts a glimmer of hope. The quintet—Jamison Friesen [lead vocals], Brendan Anderson [lead guitars], Ryan Sorensen [rhythm guitars], Kevin Student [bass], and Ty Fox [drums]—explores this dichotomy to the fullest extent on its full-length debut, Harbinger [Nuclear Blast].
"Symbolically, the arrival of autumn represents the leaves changing, the smell of decay, and the oncoming bleakness of winter," says Jamison. "We're entering a bleak time of year that can be translated to a mental state or the state of the world. However, things sometimes have to get a little bleak before they can get better. We're attracted to art that reflects and accepts this side of humanity as part of nature. We're going to grab the issues and address them head-on."
Born and raised in the tiny city of Grande Prairie, the musicians grew up "300 miles from the nearest international airport." Inspired by the likes of Metallica, Lamb of God, Trivium, Black Dahlia Murder, and more, music doubled as a refuge from small town malaise and nearly six months of winter as the band formally came to life in 2011.
"When you're in a boring city in the middle of nowhere, people find themselves susceptible to destructive habits, so you need to have a willingness to avoid those," he continues. "Playing music is how we grounded ourselves."
The musicians personally booked tours across the Great White North, attracting a growing fan base in the process. They unleashed a pair of independent albums—Endless Nights and Shadows—and caught the attention of super producer Jason Suecof [All That Remains, Motionless In White, Whitechapel]. Not only did he turn them on to Nuclear Blast, but he manned the boards for Harbinger throughout 2018.
Throughout intense sessions, the producer pushed the boys to maximize their potential all-around.
"Jason would analyze every part at a deep level," he goes on. "We learned a ton from him in terms of how to write and really refine our approach. He brought the best out of us."
Arrival of Autumn introduce Harbinger with the bludgeoning barrage of first single "The Endless." Airtight riffing and a percussive onslaught culminate around an undeniable hook.
"We're really into Westworld, and that inspired the song" says Jamison. "It addresses the human psyche and almost questions our free will and what drives us. Do we have free will, or are we simply going through our daily lives unchecked?"
Meanwhile, "Better Off Without" underscores a metallic maelstrom with a ponderous concept of "how at some point in history we gained conscience and we mistook it for a divine voice." Elsewhere, "Witness" hinges on thick grooves and a refrain as haunting as its subject matter.
"That one is about trying to survive when everything around you is falling apart," he remarks. "It's told through a fictional apocalyptic setting, nodding to the Mad Max movies. The protagonist finds he can be a hero when there doesn't seem to be a point in trying."
In the end, Arrival Of Autumn signal a new season for heavy music on Harbinger.
"I hope the content does make people think about how they live their lives day-to-day and to be themselves and believe what they believe," Jamison leaves off. "Don't live a lie. If you know something is false and you are acting it out day-to-day in order to impress other people, cut it out, and get yourself together. Recognize that all you have to do is be a better person and that itself can cause a ripple effect for the better."

The Hastings to Haiti Partnership (HHP) works to advance the rule of law in Haiti by supporting legal education and working to enforce human rights.
HHP is a collaboration between the University of California, Hastings College of the Law and the L'École Supérieure Catholique de Droit de Jérémie (ESCDROJ), the Catholic Law School of Jérémie. Professors Karen Musalo and Richard Boswell established Hastings to Haiti and first traveled to Jérémie to support the newly founded law school in 1999. The delegation was expanded to include student members in 2000, first as an independent study, and in 2010 the classroom component of the organization became a two-credit seminar. And, since 2008, HHP has worked to make the partnership truly reciprocal, bringing Haitian students and lawyers to the U.S. to gain a comparative perspective to bring to their work at home.

Children love to play with toys. Toys create a feeling of companionship for children, they help them improve their ability to interact, they evoke imagination, they enable pretension and over and above all they bring joy to the kids.
Watching children enjoy playing with toys is in itself a soul filling experience.
The toys that children play with takes various shapes and forms like stuffed toys (like a teddy bear, a most common toy for toddlers), with toy vehicles (trains, cars), toy machines, robots etc. The kinds of toys that children get to play with is dependent on the environments in which they live especially their economic backgrounds.
Children belonging to families from poor economic backgrounds do not get a chance to play with toys as we generally perceive. They use of stones, wood, clay, branches and leaves of trees etc as toys.
To enable children at chetana to derive the joy of playing with toys, the idea of a toy library has been evolved. Just like a library having books to be read or borrowed for being read and returned, a toy library for stocking toys for being used by the children at chetana was established on chetana premises.
Toys are housed in separate rooms having racks to arrange the toys.
As of now, we are able to arrange all the toys that we have, within the existing facility.
If the toys in the library outgrow our capacity to house them, we may develop a methodology to give away some toys to the children to be taken away to their homes.
Children studying at the school for child laborers get time to come to the toy library and play with toys all through out the week during specific timings on weekdays.
The library stays open for children at the orphanage on holidays also.
Toys at the library are collected through toy donations. Initially it started with the toys (both used and new ones) donated by the children and parents of the schools being run by our parent organisation. Later on, we started receiving toy donations from others who have come to know of the existence of this library by word of mouth or on visiting chetana.
Apart from toys in the library, the resources required to run this library are very much minimal which includes staff to manage and maintain the library. As such we manage the need for funds to run this entity through our internal accruals.
Toys form the largest resource of this entity. We receive toys, both used and new from donors. You may help the children at chetana by giving away the toys that you (if you are a child) or your kids (if you are elders taking care of children) do not need anymore.
By enabling giving away used toys, we hope to create utility and rejuvenate the value of used toys whose value has almost exhausted. We also hope to provide an avenue for children as well as elders get that joy of giving.
We do not find it prudent to collect donations and buy new toys as we doubt that our decisions as to which toys to buy would be biased towards toys having academic relevance. Moreover we believe that anyone donating a toy would be the best judge in this respect.
Toy Library, Chetana Charity, Chowdavaram, Guntur District - 522 019, Andhra Pradesh, India.

Price War! Price War! : Pizza Chains Follow Burger Joints" Lead With New Deals
By ALEXEI BARRIONUEVO
April 29, 1993 12 AM PT
TIMES STAFF WRITER
In their corporate war rooms and across the nation's restaurant battlefields, three leading pizza chains are firing their dough at a burgeoning campaign: cheaper pizza.
Bombarded for years by Little Caesar's value-priced, two-for-one pizza offer, Pepsico's Pizza Hut unit is launching an all-out counterattack Monday with Big Foot--a 21-slice, 2-by-1-foot pie priced at between $9 and $11. Not to be outdone, Domino's Pizza said Tuesday that it will counter with the Dominator--at 30 slices for a comparable price, an even cheesier weapon.
With these new products, the pizza chains will be escalating the fast-food war on two fronts: pizza and hamburger. For years, pizza had been advancing steadily on the hamburgers' market share. By unleashing more combo and two-for-one deals in 1992, the hamburger segment posted greater growth in nationwide customer traffic than pizza, for the first time in years.
In greater Los Angeles, however, pizza chains remained on the offensive in 1992. Pizza was the only fast-food chain segment to show improved sales.
"All the armies of the big three are gathering reinforcements and mounting for battle," said Gerry Durnell, editor of the trade journal Pizza Today.
Pepsico's Pizza Hut remains the overall leader, with Little Caesar's and Domino's Pizza hot on its trail. Together, the three chains carved out 48% of the nationwide $18.2-billion pizza market last year.
Sales at Pizza Hut's nearly 7,300 U.S. units rose by 35% the last five years, in large part because of the company's entering the delivery arena. Rival Domino's, the self-proclaimed king of home delivery, saw its sales decline; Little Caesar's sales ballooned by 54% although it offers only carry-out service.
"Pizza is the food of our time, without question," said Harry Balzer, vice president of the NPD Group Inc., a market research firm that tracks eating patterns. "This country wants a live-in cook, and pizza is the next best thing."
Little Caesar's was the first pizza chain to establish a "value niche" with its two-for-one deal in 1974, made famous in its "Pizza! Pizza!" ad campaign. In recent years, Pizza Hut and Domino's have responded by discounting some premium varieties.
In March, Little Caesar's took the offensive again with its Big, Big Cheese campaign, which offered a 24-slice pizza for $8.88.
Pizza Hut is only steps behind. Marketing chief Bob Perkins predicted Big Foot will generate $1 billion in annual revenue by 1995, which would amount to 23% of the chain's $4.3 billion in 1992 revenue.
In Southern California, the value-priced pizza war will mean good things for recession-burdened consumers, said Bob Sandelman of Brea-based Sandelman & Associates, a consultant to the fast-food industry.
The heightened pizza war will also bring jobs to the Southland. Pizza Hut said Monday that Big Foot's arrival will create 2,000 jobs in the Los Angeles area, positions the company expects to fill by June at 280 locations. In San Diego, Pizza Hut will add 1,000 positions at 65 locations. The new jobs will range from delivery drivers to cashiers.
For Domino's, pressure to stay with its chief competitors pushed the company to unveil the Dominator two months earlier than originally planned. The Dominator is the company's first foray into the carry-out business.
Domino's said the Dominator will also result in "considerably more" hiring at franchised locations throughout Southern California.
Like Big Foot, the Dominator will be a rectangular pie. One big difference: Pizza Hut will deliver, Domino's won't--an irony, considering Domino's has always been a delivery outfit and Pizza Hut did not begin going door to door until 1986.
Domino's has said it does not want to deliver the Dominator out of fear that the product would eat into sales of its pricier pizzas.
Jean-Paul Sarte once wrote that when the rich wage war, it's the poor who die. In this case, likely he would have been referring to the smaller chains and independents that made up the remaining 52% of the pizza market last year.
At least one analyst predicted that there will be enough business to go around. "History has shown that as a result of all the hype, everybody gains," Durnell said.
More likely, the losers will be in other segments of the fast-food industry, analysts contend. The public's appetite for pizza is being stimulated by pizza's low cost and the availability of delivery, said Ron Paul, president of the restaurant-industry consultant Technomic Inc.
"The value-priced category will have staying power as long as there continue to be families and supermoms in the population," Balzer said. "And that's a long time."
A Bigger Slice
Led by Pizza Hut, Domino's and Little Caesar's, pizza chains managed the largest gain in market share last year in Southern California"'s fast-food market. January, 1992 Burger chains: 51.1% Chicken chains: 8.9% Mexican food chains: 20.0% Pizza chains: 13.4% Other: 6.6%
January, 1993 Burger chains: 50.7% Chicken chains: 8.7% Mexican food chains: 17.4% Pizza chains: 15.5% Other: 7.7%

Q: Is iMessages secure? What security does iMessages provide or is it open and subject to the security of the connection used to send the messages?

A: iMessages are transmitted with TLS (SSL) encryption, and the saved messages on your devices will be encrypted (like all other data), but the message contents themselves aren't encrypted. I'm not aware that Apple has publicly stated whether they store any iMessages on their servers, and how they might be encrypted.

A: It is encrypted end to end better than SMS. I wouldn't call it secure, though since the code isn't peer-reviewed (AFAIK) nor does it pass the "dropped in a puddle" test to ensure you and only you have keys to decrypt the contents. (In other words, if you are not holding they keys, it's not very secure.)


Are you a martial arts movie lover? Do you have a sweet tooth for twisted endings? If you answered "yes" to one or both of those questions, "Die Fighting" is a movie that you cannot afford to miss. The first feature film from independent action filmmakers: Z-Team Films, "Die Fighting" assaults the viewer with a non-stop parade of show-stopping martial arts action, then completely changes the context of everything they've just seen with a twisted ending worthy of "The Sixth Sense"!
The major cast is comprised of three of the four members of Z-Team Films, all of whom use their real names. Fabien Garcia leads the way both as leading man and director, in addition to numerous other duties. He's aided in his efforts by two of his fellow Z-Team members, Laurent "Lohan" Buson of "Merantau" fame and his real-life brother Didier, with Jess Allen rounding out the four eponymous leads. Adelyne Dandan Liu portrays Fabien's wife Meilu, who finds herself at the mercy of a mysterious sadist known only as "The Filmmaker", played by Dave Vescio and seen mostly from behind by the viewer.
Z-Team Films, a group of highly skilled martial artists and aspiring action stars consisting of Fabien Garcia, Jess Allen, and brothers Lohan and Didier Buson, are bound and determined to break into the action film industry. They've already released a well-received short film, and although their uphill battle to get their feet in Hollywood's door continues, the group remains ever optimistic and determined to achieve their dream. Following Fabien's birthday, their big break presents itself, just not in the way they had hoped. The group receives a phone-call from a mysterious figure known only as "The Filmmaker", who informs them that he plans to give them the shot at superstardom that they've been hoping for. This is to be achieved through an intricate series of hidden cameras throughout Los Angeles. To ensure their co-operation, The Filmmaker has also kidnapped Fabien's wife, Meilu, leaving the group with little choice but to play along in the shadowy villain's perversely improvised martial arts thriller.
"Die Fighting" spends roughly its first seven minutes setting up all the pieces on its chessboard, with the remainder of the film consisting primarily of one superbly crafted action sequence after another. At the whim of The Filmmaker, our four leads quickly become fugitives from the law after being forced to rob an armoured truck, and must alternately dodge the LAPD while being coerced into fighting opponents of their puppet master's choosing, all for the sake of his "movie". The film frequently has the feel of a horror movie to it. The Filmmaker's distorted voice and behind-the-scenes string pulling feels like something out of the "Saw" movies, and anyone whose every wanted to see a dash of martial arts thrown into the "Paranormal Activity" series will basically get their wish through the seemingly endless series of hidden cameras the villain has placed all throughout Los Angeles. The enemies that they face throughout the film are chosen by the Filmmaker specifically to fit the purposes of his "movie". This leads to Fabien being forced to act out half the "script" on his own while his three compatriots are sent on a parallel mission comprising the other half. It also leads to some of the most sensational action scenes you're likely to see this year.
The word "stunning" comes to mind when describing the Z-Team's skills but even that doesn't fully do justice to what they are capable of! When he starts moving, Fabien is simply unbelievable. His solo outing pits him against mobsters in a church, students in a local karate dojo, and low-level thugs in one of L.A.'s rougher neighborhoods. Choosing the best of these is akin to determining which bar of gold is the shiniest, but the last one stands out due to the Filmmaker's insistence that Fabien employ Drunken Fist to fight off his foes. Fabien is skeptical of its effectiveness in combat then goes on to prove himself wrong moments later. Just how many times in the 21st century have you seen Drunken Fist put to use on film, and with the same kind of grace and power that Jackie Chan used to immortalize the art in "Drunken Master"?
The parallel quest of Fabien's three friends is just as engaging, beginning with a video-game-like sequence where they are forced to evade a pursuing SWAT team in a warehouse with the Filmmaker's guidance. Anyone who's seen "Merantau" already knows what Lohan Buson can do, and he certainly doesn't rest on his laurels! He may well have found a trademark technique in the form of launching an axe kick. He grabs his foot at its high point to put himself into a full standing-split then lets it land on his enemy -he puts this to use three or four times throughout the film. His brother Didier's scene-stealing moment comes when he is pitted against a crime boss played by Xin Wuku of the EMC Monkeys, and "two gravity-defying monkeys battling to the death" is a pretty apt approximation of seeing the two of them wage war on one another. Still, it's the finale of the film that is guaranteed to leave every viewer's jaw in their laps. Not just for the spectacular final fight in which Fabien takes on an opponent who shall remain unidentified, employing the much-beloved Guyver Kick while he does, but for the twisted-up ending that COMPLETELY pulls the rug out from under the viewer's feet. This will leave them as shocked and dazed as the characters themselves…!
"Die Fighting" has very clearly been made by guys who have both had a lot of training and seen a lot of movies. The abilities the Z-Team exhibit on screen are the kind that leaves the viewer wondering whether wires were involved when they know for a fact they weren't. Jackie Chan and Tony Jaa would absolutely love "Die Fighting" – what more of an endorsement could anyone possibly need eh?
"Die Fighting" is currently available through iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, Xbox Video, and the Playstation Network!
Like their characters in the film, Fabien Garcia and Lohan Buson trained at China's legendary Shaolin Temple, as did their fellow Z-Team member Yannick Van Dam, who served as executive producer for "Die Fighting".
In addition to appearing in the film and directing it, Fabien Garcia also served as the film's editor, digital compositor, writer and action director.
Lohan and Didier Buson also served as fight choreographers for the film.
Hello Abisai, can you tell us more about the book you mentioned?

Afghanistan and Haiti — How You can Help
Building Community /
Susan Posey, Lutheran Church of the Redeemer, McLean 08/24/2021

NO ONE LEFT BEHIND: the only nation-wide association of wartime allies in the US dedicated to ensuring that America keeps its promise to our interpreters from Iraq and Afghanistan, now trying, among other things, to charter planes to rescue Afghan refugees. See https://nooneleft.org/default.aspx?
INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ( IRAP): a leading organization, headquartered in New York, involved in litigation and advocacy on behalf of refugees across the United States. See https://refugeerights.org/
WOMEN FOR WOMEN INTERNATIONAL: https://support.womenforwomen.org/donate/afghanistan-emergency-2x-match?src=HHUA21082A
CHURCH WORLD SERVICE: another leading refugee resettlement agency, run by U.S. churches for over 70 years, involved in advocacy as well as refugee resettlement around the world. See https://cwsglobal.org/learn/refugees-and-immigrants/

Greetings Everyone,
Thank you for inquiring about what you can do to support the arriving members of the Afghan community. Please see the information below for how you can help.
Fairfax County is working with nonprofits and faith communities in assisting Afghan refugees who will eventually call the county their home. Afghan refugees have experienced significant trauma, uncertainty and stress during the evacuation process. It is Fairfax County's priority to ensure that individuals and families who resettle here can access services as quickly as possible so that they can focus on rebuilding their lives and establishing support networks in the community.
