Did you ever check what is your WiFi security setting? If not, is time to do it.
Sometimes, routers have unsafe configurations that make them susceptible to malware attacks. For instance, there are security failures in the operating system, the firmware, the security algorithm and the web applications of routers. Attackers can use these vulnerabilities as entry points to compromise your network. In fact, there are some tools and websites that cybercriminals use to find vulnerable routers and get exploits for their attacks. Learn to identify if your encryption algorithm is working to protect you from intruders.
What are WiFi security protocols and how they work?
Basically, a WiFi security protocol is data encryption to prevent data fraud perpetrated by hackers. Let's take a simple example of how it works. Think about a letter you don't want anyone else to read except the final recipient, but you need to send it through a messenger. So, you fold the letter and put it in a closed envelope to keep the peepers away.
Using an encryption algorithm works very similarly to the letter example. In this case, plain text is transformed into encrypted text while transported over the networks. When this data arrives at its final destination, it goes back to its original form: plain text. If you still want to go deeper into this topic you may want to take a look how routing algorithms work.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): Used to be one of the most popular. However, became one of the most attacked and vulnerable.
WPA (WiFi Protected Access): Provides better security than WEP but still vulnerable to attacks.
WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access 2): Although it has specific vulnerabilities, it is the safest option for WiFi connections so far.
WPA2 provides two types of encryption focused on network security: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol, also known as TKIP, and Advanced Encryption Standard or AES.
Both encryptions offer different levels of security, so it is necessary to know what the differences between AES and TKIP are to choose the most appropriate.
Let's start with TKIP. This protocol was the first one to be used to increase the security of WPA, also to cover the deficiencies of the WEP algorithm.
Although the TKIP helped protect networks for a while, it is now unsafe and is not recommended to establish a connection.
On the other hand, we have the AES, which is considered the most efficient encryption system to stop intruders. But this does not mean that the AES is unbreakable since it has shown some vulnerabilities under a brute-force attack.
What is the best WiFi security protocol then?
In theory, your WiFi connection should be safe using a WPA2-AES algorithm. However, you must consider how old the device you are using to link the router is.
By default, all routers produced after 2006 use WPA2 but this does not mean that they always use AES encryption.
The reason is that some old devices still need TKIP encryption. In this case, the router uses the WPA-PSK connection which essentially is TKIP. Therefore, you must check what type of connection your device requires to avoid vulnerabilities.
We know this can be a bit confusing. In the end, it's all about finding the safest way to connect your devices to the network.
Open Low You may want to share your WiFi with everyone who comes to your house. If so, avoid setting up an open WiFi connection. You never know if other people in the neighborhood will take advantage of this to do criminal activities using your connection. And guess who's going to be the guilty one for the police? Always use a password to access the router and only share it with people you trust.
WEP Low As we mentioned before, WEP is one of the most insecure protocols and it's better to avoid it.
WPA-PSK (TKPI) Low This is the oldest and most basic version of the WAP protocol. Now it has been replaced by WAP2 to improve its security.
WPA-PSK (AES) Medium Like the previous algorithm, this one uses the WPA platform. However, security is improving with AES encryption. This option does not make much sense because if your device supports AES, it will support WPA2.
WPA2-PSK (TKPI) Medium Although WPA2 is present, TKIP encryption is not always secure. Use it only if your device does not support AES.
WPA2-PSK (AES) Good This is the most reliable option and the one that you should use. It has an updated encryption protocol. Depending on your device, sometimes you'll find it as WPA2 or WPA2-PSK.
WPAWPA2-PSK (TKPI/AES) Good If your device is old (manufactured before 2006), this option is ok. This combined algorithm offers compatibility with most new and old devices. Anyway, you must consider that it can be under attack through the WPA and TKPI windows.
The table shows the security level while using different algorithms.
In conclusion, the best you can do to reduce potential attacks to your WiFi connection is to avoid devices manufactured before 2006.
It's not easy to stand your ground against DDoS attacks. It's best to be ready and know the methods of your attackers. Read about two most common types of DDoS – UDP and SYN floods.
Some people trust webpages when they show them an icon of a lock. But internet security is not as simple as that. Read all about the SSL certificates, how do they work and why should you use them on your company server.

Scarcity of green fodder and hot climatic conditions in summer are the major problems faced by the livestock reared for economic purposes. Most of the semi-organized farms in and around Proddatur region of Andhra Pradesh were found to maintain Jersey Cross bred cows and graded Murrah buffaloes in summer by feeding Total Mixed Ration (TMR) or balanced ration along with supplementation of mineral mixture due to the lack of green fodder. Therefore, the present study was undertaken to study the effect of raise in environmental temperature as well as lack of green fodder on the various biochemical parameters of apparently healthy Jersey Cross bred cows and graded Murrah buffaloes in and around Proddatur region of Andhra Pradesh. A total of 29 blood samples were analyzed in both Jersey cross- bred cows and graded murrah buffaloes for various biochemical parameters. The concentration of Total Protein(g/dl), Globulin (g/dl), Urea (mg/dl), Total Cholesterol (mg/dl) and Calcium (mg/dl) were found to be significantly different between Jersey cross bred cows and graded buffaloes(P< 0.05 ). These values obtained can serve as baseline values for Jersey cross bred cows and graded murrah buffaloes of that particular location in summer and also for comparison with the animals maintained during the period of availability of abundant green fodder in kharif season.

Blunt Scooters: AOS Limited Edition Decks
Posted in Scooter, on 13th March 2019
Designed By Riders, For Riders!
Blunt Envy is one of our best selling scooter brands here at SkateHut. They are also our brand of the month for March! To celebrate, we're going to take a closer look at their Limited Edition Ace of Spades decks!
As a well-known, trusted scooter brand, they believe that every rider should be able to afford the best quality parts to push their riding to the next level!
With the creation of the AOS Limited Edition Decks, Blunt gave a number of professional riders, currently killing the game, free reign to design a deck to their specification. After years of riding and building a reputation in the sport, they were awarded with the opportunity to customise their very own deck. Not only has this given them an opportunity to excel in their own style of riding, but it has given other up and coming riders, a chance to excel in the very same styles they have been inspired by.
Let's take a look at these limited-edition masterful decks!
The latest version of the Ace of Spades deck is the AOSV4 LTD with Blunt rider Didine Terchague attaining his well-earned sig deck at the start of 2019. Didine extends the already compelling list of signature riders: Flavio Pesenti, Charles Padel, Warick Beynon, Raymond Warner and Jon Reyes.
Why did you choose these dimensions for the AOSV4 LTD?
"I chose to have a long and wide deck because I wanted to have a lot of foot space, so I would feel more comfortable riding. I especially like this wider deck for the rails, I find its really stable when you grind or slide on ledges and rails. I also feel like my riding flows more on my scoot when I'm cruising."
What is the significance of your signature deck graphics?
"I wanted the design to represent how I ride street. When I'm riding street, I don't know if the rail will beat me or if I will win the spot. I also like the snake because they attack their prey fast and that's how I like to ride street spots, hard and fast. I chose black because I prefer the clean stealth look."
"I like riding a longer deck so I can get more pop out of bunny hops and with length comes greater stability. For width I prefer an intermediate size because I like to be stable on rails, but I also want a reactive and responsive deck."
"Regarding graphics, my first AOSV4 Deck was half black and half grey. The black represented the bad things of my life and the reaper was holding a chain with my father's initials on it. The grey part represented the things that made me enjoy my life such as my family, friends and my city which mean a lot to me. The graphic of the reaper reminds me to really put my life on it while riding but also reminds where of come from and how it's made me arrive where I am today. For my latest AOSV4LTD I chose gold colours because I wanted to have fun and get that real bling bling style. I love my promodel parts and greatly appreciate blunt allowing to put my soul onto scooter parts."
Charles Padel
"My last4 AOS signatures decks have grown up with me, with each model getting slightly bigger and bigger. My latest signature deck, the AOSv4 LTD, is perfect for my style of riding a sit's not too big or too small, so I can ride it everywhere! Maybe my next deck will be bigger." ;)
"I wanted my deck to have a clean style and use my sentence DNWTF (Don't Need Wings To Fly) for the graphic which I've had for years. For the curious ones who don't know it, in french, my name Padel means "no wings". I also I really love to go high on quarter pipes or transfers, so Don't Need Wings To Fly is like a play on words and is representative of my riding style."
Wazzeh
"Choosing the specific dimensions of your signature deck is hard, especially when you want the rider to have as much fun on it as you do! I chose the dimensions 4.9 wide x 21 long because it was slightly bigger than my original AOSv4 but still small enough for shredders if all sizes & ages to have fun on it."
"The bandana graphic originated from my old tradition of wrapping my bars in bandanas & other crazy patterned fabrics! My original AOSv4 was teal because it's my favourite colour, but for the limited edition decks I decided to keep it monotone so that it would look good with any colour combo & that's how we came up with silver!"
Raymond Warner
"The reason I ride my signature deck size which is 4.75" wide x 20.25" long is because I do so many tail whip combinations. Having a smaller deck size makes it a lot easier on myself to get the deck around. I've tried doing six-whips with decks that are 5" wide x 21" long and the difficulty difference is astonishing. Therefore, I'll be sticking with the smaller deck sizes for a while!"
"My signature deck graphic to many is just a photo of an old car with a personalized license plate underneath a bible verse with a bunch of pin striping around it. Although, the meaning behind it is quite complex if I do say so myself. The car on the deck is a 1970 Pontiac GTO which is my first car who I named "Bertha". I have had the car since I was 18 years old and I have cherished it since the first day I got it. The license plate reads "GTLI22" which translates to "Got To Love It 22". 'Got to love it' is a saying that I have said, and it was something that was a part of the Scooter Zone family which I was a part of for so long. As for the Bible verse, I have always had a verse on my signature parts that are able to have a decent amount of lettering. The prayer reads "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" which is Philippians 4:13. I've lived by this prayer for as long as I can remember so I figured it would fit perfectly on something with my name on it. As for the blue colour, blue is my favourite colour so.....no brainer."
Jon Reyes
"20.5x4.7 is the perfect middle size. Small enough to sneak in some last second combos, long enough to keep you stable and balanced. Oil slick was my solution forwanting so many different colours on one deck. I could not decide a colour that would go with everything, so I decided to choose a colour that has everything!"
"The graphic on the bottom resembles life. The world around you can be torn, destroyed, and could put you in the deepest corner. The rose symbolizes chance, the chances and choices we all have to grow and get through anything. No matter how hard something can be, there is always a way."

ABORIGINAL ART - 4
Non-figurative Art Styles
Non-figurative art styles include abstract designs, geometric patterns, and the array of circles, spirals and concentric circles found in Central Australian Aboriginal art. Although meaningless from a European perspective, this art holds great significance to its creators.
Ovals, circles, spirals and concentric circles signify water holes, places, and significant features in accompanying stories. U-shapes represent people. Arc shapes represent the wind breaks around people's camps, hills, and occasionally boomerangs. Short wavy lines represent snakes, or snake tracks. Long wavy and meandering lines represent the pathways of animals and ancestors, or creeks, hills and lines of trees.
Collecting Bush Oranges. A painting by Kaitish artist Reggie Sultan, Central Australia.
The U-shaped motifs are the traditional symbols representing a seated person, and in this case, each arc represents a woman. The oval shapes on each side represent the women's coolamons (wooden bark dishes) which are used to collect the bush fruit.

Throughout the various teaching sessions he spoke about the river of living water that the prophet Ezekiel saw coming from the throne of God. Steve prophesied over the Thai people, that he saw this river springing forth from their hearts by the Holy Spirit, however, there was something unique about it: That river would not, like it is normal in Bangkok, flow south into the sea but this river of God would flow to the East. Our team was surprised - that was exactly where God led us for our outreach outside of Thialand. At that time we were already in preparations for a one-week-outreach to Laos PDR!
Many times it has been prophecied over Thailand that this nation will be the birthplace of revival in Southeast Asia. As organisation we're stirred by the question: What can we do to let this vision become real?
So it was settled: With the On the Move team we would at least do one outreach to our neighbouring countries. We couldn't make appointments with our contacts in Cambodia but in Lao PDR doors opened immediately. A short while ago, some friends moved there and had already started, despite the persecution of Christians, to advance God's kingdom. Thus our goal was set and we started to make preparations. Passports and visas had to be issued since it was the very first trip of our Thai scholars to leave their own country.
For decades, Christians have suffered persecution and oppression. However, there are still about 250 churches, and the name of Jesus is to be exalted in Lao PDR! We knew that we had to take our worship to public places. On the day of our arrival we found a spot in the capital city of Vientiane and put our idea into action. Since we had a rough night on the road and entered an atmosphere of control and depression, we had a hard time worshipping in that park. HOwever, we didn't accept that at all. The next day we met in a room to prepare: We shared about what and how we could do better and a clear vision led into a great time of worship. So we desired to see that happening outside these four walls, too!
In order to bless the government and authorities of Lao PDR and to proclaim God's sovreignity over the nation we drove to the Victory Gate, the Patuxay, in the centre of the capital. Everything was different this time: It was easy to look onto Jesus and prophetic songs and bible scriptures filled the little park around the monument quickly. It surely didn't take long until we got some curious looks. The presence of the Holy Spirit was tangible and we shared the Gospel with some Vietnamese tourists and revealed the heart of God to them by prophetic words.
In the evening we headed back to the park where we struggled to worship the night before. There too, the atmosphere was totally changed. The feeling of depression was gone and it turned out to be great fun to worship Jesus Christ in freedom and with creativity in public. Our friends from Lao PDR weren't sure if anyone has ever done that in the country before!
For two days, our journey took us out of the capital to the countryside - leaving paved roads and entering adventure! We met with Christians whose faith had been tested in many ways. There, church leaders and pastors had been put to jail because of their belief or churches and congregations would be mocked in different ways. To pray with these brothers in faith stirred a deep humility, for they had overcome by their faith to a degree that our team has never been tested to.
It's truly encouraging how the kingdom of God still paves a path. A Christian drug rehabilitation centre is helping quite young drug addicts for years, despite authorities trying to shut it down a few months after it was founded, because the Christian values of living didn't fit their picture. To this day this rehab has been a place of restoration and life!
Being on the move with teams starting in Bangkok is on our hearts. We want to strengthen the relationships we have in Lao PDR which include future visits. Cambodia is in our focus, too, and when a door opens we will be ready to go.
Preparations for the REVIVAL SCHOOL on the Move 2018 are in full progress already. If you want to get to know our ministry in Bangkok or want to get trained, you should not miss the opportunity of joining this school, for: Following Christ means being on the move!

Connected Commerce: OTTO & ECE enable delivery from the store.
With the new "Ship from Store" service, retailers sell their local assortments online and ship them directly from the store.
Online or offline commerce? For OTTO and ECE, these two worlds are not mutually exclusive. Under the name "Connected Commerce," both companies are driving forward the networking of the shopping worlds with their joint venture Stocksquare. The goal is to build a bridge for commerce. To this end, the marketplace connector Stocksquare connects stationary retailers with online marketplaces and makes local product ranges available online. This includes an availability display for stationary items as well as the option of online reservations.
Now comes the next stage in the expansion of bridge technology: with "Ship from Store," the first retailers are shipping their items directly from the stationary store. For retailers, this means not only greater visibility for their products, but also additional sales potential. End customers benefit from greater availability and product range diversity: "By working with Stocksquare, retailers can make their products accessible to millions of new customers in one fell swoop, thereby significantly increasing their sales potential. On otto.de alone, we have 11.5 million customers," explains Alexander Will, Head of Innovation Management at OTTO and Co-Managing Director at Stocksquare.
Connection to other marketplaces
However, it doesn't stop at a connection to OTTO. "We have decided to open up our technology to other marketplaces as well. For retailers, this means a huge new virtual sales landscape, and for OTTO it means a new business model," Will continues. In addition to otto.de, Stocksquare is therefore also linking its partners to AboutYou and Limango. The figures from the first participating retailers show: The concept is catching on. Stationary retailers, such as the premium fashion retailer EGOIST in Dresden, are in some cases achieving six-figure additional sales per week thanks to the marketplace connection with Stocksquare. The PTH Group, which operates a total of 119 stores of brands such as ESPRIT, Calvin Klein, Levi's and Tommy Hilfiger, has also been using the function since August. At the start, the group initially linked its ESPRIT stores to OTTO, with stores of other brands to follow.
How Ship from Store works
As an omnichannel connector, Stocksquare is the link between brick-and-mortar stores and online marketplaces. With a connection, retailers gain access to various platforms such as OTTO and ABOUT YOU. To ensure that this connection functions smoothly, Stocksquare offers services such as its own in-store tool for order processing from the stores, the provision of product data and interfaces to various merchandise management systems. After the connection, retailers enter the EANs, stocks and prices of their products and are thus immediately ready to sell. "The logic behind Stocksquare is called Plug & Play," says Sebastian Baumann, Head of Digital Business & Innovation at ECE and Co-Managing Director of Stocksquare. "We provide turnkey technology that connects retailers with millions of new customers* at the push of a button and enables easy order processing."

Edinburgh airport Edinburgh airport was established in 1915 for the Royal Flying Corps. It was originally known as Turnhouse aerodrome and was operational during World War I. This RAF Turnhouse then went to fulfill its military role for nearly 40 years before it was handed over to the Ministry of Aviation in 1960. The BAA PLC took over the administration of Edinburgh Airport, which was then officially opened by the Queen in 1977. The Edinburgh airport has undergone a ?100 million-investment programme for upgrading and extension. The airport handles nearly 6.3 million passengers and is seeing remarkable growth on account of the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. It continues to remain a major airfreight centre on account of its excellent road network to other parts of Scotland.
Long stay parking at Edinburgh airport is one of the most economical ways to leave your car. There are many parking options at Edinburgh airport. Off airport car parks are more economical than on airport parking at Edinburgh. Such parking facilities also offer free transfers to and from the airport. Meet and Greet services are offered for Edinburgh airport parking. You can be met at the airport and have your car waiting for you on your return. Park and Fly is yet another car parking option in Edinburgh airport. Security is the over riding concern when choosing a parking option in Edinburgh airport.
Edinburgh airport hotels are ideal for those on overnight and transit breaks. The proximity to Edinburgh airport can make for a relaxed dinner and night's rest before taking a flight the next day. Many websites allow you to locate and choose a hotel of your choice near Edinburgh airport. A booking with an Edinburgh airport hotel can save you an early morning start and also beat the rush hour traffic. This facility is also ideal if you wish to park your car. Many a time, Edinburgh airport hotel rates work out to just a few pounds more than parking at the Edinburgh airport alone.


Around 1966, the NYPD was assailed by the police union as an unfit place to work. The cops were miserable. Morale had never been lower. The troops wallowed in lachrymose self-pity and the Fourth Estate lapped it up.
What a fun time they were all having.
My boss then was the four-star chief in charge of the force, under the police commissioner. As he usually did, he asked me what I thought.
The question shoved me into my favorite exercise, and I began to consider the question.
We were having a problem recruiting black males because the community leaders defined us as the enemy. Still true.
We had no interest in recruiting women but I helped change that in 1975—still nine years off then.
But Italians, Irish, even Jews? They flocked to the tests and we steadily raised the requirements and still they flooded the lists. No recruitment problems. The standards were high. The job was incredibly attractive to the segment of the upper levels of the lower class (civil servants, clerks and high school strivers) from which we'd always drawn. Salaries and benefits and pensions were surprisingly good.
Outsiders thought it was easy to be a cop. Insiders knew better but bad-mouthed "The Job" (the curious appellation used by insiders) for their own arcane purposes. No one quit, and the union made it damnably difficult to fire thumpers, racists, alcoholics, thieves, scoundrels and other miscreants in the ranks. Indeed, the unions—having, by 2019, secured seriously attractive salaries, benefits and pensions—had little else to do but defend wrongdoers.
That catchy phrase punctured the balloon and the issue sank to the ocean floor.
And now comes City Pages echoing the recruitment myth—and using a female police executive (a real revolution—unheralded and unsung) and, of course, the union-head, to prove the point.
I was outraged from the first line. Cops do not call it the "noble profession" and never have. Some awful events are cited to justify the affection for self-pity. Yes, cops do encounter the underbelly of the human beast. This is news?
The account describes tough incidents—often (without comment) handled by female cops. Duh! Split second decisions; horrid cases; unappreciative public. Hello? Anybody home? There are three photos—a white female police executive; a black female sergeant and, of course, a police union head.
So, are America's police free of problems? Not quite. There's racism and brutality and featherbedding, not to mention gargantuan judgments and settlements. And, yes, waste, inefficiency and bloat. What there isn't—amazingly—is corruption. Bribery is history—made thus by such generous salaries, benefits and pensions as to make the acceptance of a corrupt offer literally unthinkable. The unions have done their jobs so well that all that is left for them to do is defend thumpers, racists, alcoholics, malingerers and their ilk.
A recurring theme of mobility suffuses the account. Rough statistics (guesses, really) are offered. Nothing in the least persuasive.
Does anyone quit? Is it easy to be a cop? Can you describe the salary? The benefits? The pension? Haven't the requirements been raised?

ANA Pendant
Estimated lead time 16 weeks
The ANA Pendant is designed by Barba Corsini in collaboration with Joaquim Ruiz Millet. The ANA Pendant is an extension to the original PD2 Floor Lamp which Corsini designed for La Pedrera in 1955, and shares the same characteristic look and iconic status. The inspiration for the lampshade is found in the form of the cylindrical chimneys of La Pedrera. The ANA Pendant has a powerful simple character, which also is an apt description of Corsini's personal design style, and fits well into any contemporary home.
Barba Corsini was in 1955 assigned to remodel the attics of the prominent Antoni Gaudí landmark La Pedrera. Used as a laundry room and a storage area, Corsini transformed the space into 13 modern apartments. To complete the architectural experience, Corsini specifically designed and decorated the apartments with his own designs, inspired by the characteristic appearance of the building.
In 1991, it was decided that the loft space of La Pedrera should be restored according to the original conception of Gaudí. The interior made by Corsini was torn down and most of it thrown away. During the renovation the architect and gallerist, Joaquim Ruiz Millet, discovered the PD2 Floor Lamp and saved it from being thrown in the trash. Ruiz Millet started to collaborate with Corsini and his designs, and recreated the original pieces, specifically in order to help rescuing his work, make it more known and available for the public.
Lead Time - 16 weeks
By Barba Corsini
Barba Corsini (1916-2008) was a leading functionalist architect who won international praise for his architecture and his design for La Pedrera. Corsini was strongly inspired by German architect, Mies van der Rohe and American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. He also had a great affinity to Finnish architecture, which he believed to be the finest in Europe on account of the powerful simplicity of the designs. 'Powerful simplicity' is perhaps an apt description of Corsini's personal design style, as represented by the Pedrera series.

Q: Groovy function without parenthesis and argument starting with capital letter causing error I have a class that holds a list of ingredients and provides a function SERVE that prints those ingredients for now.
class CookDSL {
  List<String> ingredientsToCook

  CookDSL(List<String> ingredients){
     ingredientsToCook=ingredients
  }

  void SERVE(Closure closure){closure(ingredientsToCook)}
}

Here is the DSL function that returns an instance of above class:
CookDSL COOK(List<String> ingredients){
  new CookDSL(ingredients)
}

Now I can use this DSL as shown below and works fine by printing all ingredients:
def ingredients = ["X", "Y", "Z"]
COOK ingredients SERVE {it-> println(it)}

Output:
[X, Y, Z]

To maintain consistency in above DSL, I tried naming ingredients as Ingredients and Groovy didn't liked it.
def Ingredients = ["X", "Y", "Z"]
COOK Ingredients SERVE {it-> println(it)}

Output:
startup failed:
Script1.groovy: 16: unexpected token: Ingredients @ line 18, column 10.
   COOK Ingredients SERVE {it-> println(it)}
        ^

1 error

It works fine if Ingredients variable is surrounded with parenthesis:
def Ingredients = ["X", "Y", "Z"]
COOK(Ingredients) SERVE {it-> println(it)}

Output:
[X, Y, Z]

Not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a limitation in Groovy on using variables starting with capital letters in certain situations?
Groovy version: 2.3.8

A: As @tim_yates stated, the capital letters are probably confusing the parser, maybe it understands them as class identifiers. I've usually seem DSLs uncapitalized.
class CookDSL {
  List<String> ingredientsToCook

  void serve(Closure closure){closure(ingredientsToCook)}
}

CookDSL cook(List<String> ingredients){
  new CookDSL(ingredientsToCook: ingredients)
}

def ingredients = ["X", "Y", "Z"]
cook ingredients serve {it-> println(it)}

If you set the result to a var, it doesn't complain. Probably it is not ambiguous anymore:
def COOK = { ingredients -> new CookDSL(ingredientsToCook: ingredients) }

def Ingredients = ["ribs", "bacon", "pineapple"]
def cooked = COOK Ingredients SERVE { "cooked $it" }
assert cooked == ["cooked ribs", "cooked bacon", "cooked pineapple"]

The Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans: vestiges of a neighborhood
Adam N. Hess, Louisiana State University and Agricultural and Mechanical CollegeFollow
The Lower Ninth Ward, New Orleans: Vestiges of a Neighborhood is a photo-documentary of the remnants of one of America's most unique and culturally distinct neighborhoods. Three years after Hurricane Katrina devastated this neighborhood, it lies in ruin, slowly returning to nature. All that remains of the community that once occupied the Lower Ninth are the dilapidated buildings, the crumbling homes, and the small possessions left behind. For the past three years I have explored the Lower Ninth Ward, discovering the remains of a community rich in tradition, family, and religion. Through the use of black and white photographs and the panoramic format, the tragic landscape and the broken architecture come together to give a greater perspective of the fragile state of the neighborhood. In this past year I have created a portrait of this neighborhood, to serve as a memorial to the loss of the Lower Ninth Ward community and as a means of preserving what is left.

Oil is the life blood of your engine. As oil circulates through your engine, it creates a film between all the moving parts, preventing metal-to-metal contact. It also cleans, cools, and holds minute particles - the by-products of combustion and wear and tear - in suspension so they can be trapped in the oil filter. It should be obvious therefore, that maintaining a continual supply of oil is critical to the continued good health of your engine.
Most of us will be familiar with the childhood trick ('Amaze your friends…') of tying a length of rope to the handle of a bucket of water and whirling the bucket in a circular motion without spilling a drop. Provided the bucket is rotated with sufficient speed (Tip: it helps if the bucket is only two-thirds full!), centrifugal force causes the water to remain in the bottom of the bucket even when it is to all intents and purposes, horizontal.
Well, much the same thing can happen to the oil in your engine. Under the influence of the centrifugal force generated by hard cornering, oil moves from side to side, effectively 'climbing' the walls of the sump. This is known as oil surge. In extreme cases, the oil may be forced away from the pickup pipe located in the bottom of the sump, which supplies oil to the oil pump. Momentary loss of oil circulation is the result as the engine is starved of its vital life blood. Even the briefest occurrence can cause irreversible damage to your engine bearings; if it is in any way prolonged, your engine can be completely ruined in seconds.
This is especially relevant to owners of Rover-powered Elises, as the Elise is capable of cornering forces not envisaged by Rover when they designed the K-Series engine. And as the Elise has no oil pressure gauge fitted as standard the oil pressure can be difficult to monitor. In any event, by the time the oil pressure warning light has operated the damage has already been done. Lakeside Engineering is aware of a number of engine failures resulting from oil surge.
In response to this problem, Lakeside Engineering has developed a baffled sump kit. Easily fitted to all existing Rover-engined Elises, it requires no specialist tools, machining or welding. It works by effectively placing a lid on the oil in the sump, inhibiting the oil from climbing the walls of the sump and cylinder block, and therefore keeps the oil contained near the pickup under all combinations of braking, cornering and acceleration.
And it is not just suitable for Elises. Indeed, it may be just as beneficial to the owner of MGF's and other vehicles powered by Rover's K-Series engines, fitted with the standard alloy sump.
If you have a highly tuned (ie expensive) engine you need to protect, or even if you simply want to provide the very best protection for your standard engine, peace of mind is now available in the form of the Lakeside Engineering sump baffle kit.

Q: Make Bootstrap navbar brand on its own row resizable with images I found a way online to make a Bootstrap navbar on two rows, with the navbar-brand on its own row:

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.5.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    My website
    <button class="navbar-toggler ml-auto" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarContent" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation"></button>

        Link here
        Link here
        Link here
        Link here

(It collapses on small screens, so view as a full page to see it in action)
Now that I got that working, there are two things that I want to accomplish:

*

*Have two scalable images flanking the navbar-brand (on either side of it). They should be as tall as the navbar-brand is (plus maybe a little margin up and down)

*Have the text of the navbar-brand scale with the size of the window. I would set a max size (like font-size: 300%), but it should scale as the window width shrinks

What I have so far is responsive font-sizes for the different window widths using bootstrap breakpoints (see below, although for some reason it's not working in the code snippet. Perhaps because I'm overriding bootstrap code. Or perhaps SO code snippets don't allow SASS includes...)
It would be nicer if it would gradually scale, instead of just at the above breakpoints. Also, I'm not sure how to do this with images, so that they're at the same height as the text. How do I do this? I'm not so familiar with flexboxes, which is how this two-row navbar seems to be implemented. I tried looking into it, but I'm getting confused. Right now all I can figure to do is have a set height for the images.
Here is what I have so far:

.navbar-brand {
    font-size: 100%
}

.navbar img {
    height: 100px;
}

@include media-breakpoint-up(md) {
  .navbar-brand {
    font-size: 250%;
  }
}

@include media-breakpoint-up(lg) {
  .navbar-brand {
    font-size: 300%;
  }
}

<link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@4.5.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />

    My website

    <button class="navbar-toggler ml-auto" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarContent" aria-controls="navbarNavDropdown" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation"></button>

        Link here
        Link here
        Link here
        Link here

A: Surrounding your logo-text with 2 images can be done simply by adding them into the ancher tag like so:
  Logo-text

If your navbar has a height set you can make your img responsive ( scalable ) with this code:
a img { width: auto; height: 100%;}

Clueless (, lit. "Blind Game") was a Polish game show hosted by Krzysztof Ibisz that ran from 2005 to 2007 on Polsat. This game show was known for showing amounts in the contestant's envelopes to the TV viewers (thanks to the on-screen graphics), while not showing those amounts to the contestant until the end of the game.

Gameplay
Each game of Clueless consists of three parts:

Part 1: Picks
At the start of the game, the contestant picks several envelopes from a pool of 50 - initially they picked 10, then reduced to 8 and 5 in later episodes. Each envelope has a cheque with the smallest amount being 0 zlotys, and the highest being 100,000 zlotys. There are also two special cheques labeled -50% and -100%, which, if taken to the end of the game, reduce the contestant's final winnings by 50% and 100% respectively.

The contents in each envelope is shown to home viewers, while the contestant does not know which envelope contains what amount.

Part 2: Questions
After picking the envelopes, the contestant is asked a series of multiple-choice questions, one for each envelope they have. The contestant is first shown the question, then chooses an envelope to play for in that question, before 4 possible answers are revealed. If the contestant answers correctly, they get to keep the chosen envelope. If not, they open the envelope to reveal the amount inside, then destroy the envelope using a paper shredder.

Part 3: Offers
After answering all questions, if the contestant has no envelopes left, the game ends immediately and the contestant leaves with nothing. Otherwise, the host offers an amount of money for one or more envelopes. The contestant can reject the offer; they can also suggest a new offer, but it has to be approved by the host. Once an offer is accepted, the traded envelopes are opened to reveal the amount inside, then destroyed in the same manner as Part 2. The contestant can also choose to open an envelope and immediately claim the amount inside.

Conclusion
Once all envelopes have been opened, either as part of an offer or for the contestant to keep, the game ends. The contestant wins any money inside the envelope(s) they chose to keep as well as any money won as part of offers; this amount is reduced by 50% or 100% if the contestant chooses to keep the corresponding envelopes.

Memorable moments and statistics
A woman picked 5 envelopes with 100,000 zl in each one of them, but sold them all for 12,000 zl. The host gave her a reward for that, which was 20,000 zl. In all, she won 32,000 zl. This was the only time somebody picked these envelopes.

The most money ever won was 115,000 zl, win by Grasz czy nie grasz host Zygmunt Chajzer and journalist Agata Młynarska.

The least you could win is 6 zl and 25 gr, having 5 envelopes, a 100 and 4 -50%, and the highest is 500,000, each envelope containing 100,000.

It took a village to kill my brother: How families, hospitals and government fail alcoholics
My brother didn't fail us. Instead, he was exploited by caregivers, neglected by the law and left to fend for himself by family. We were the ones who failed.
Jeff Gewert
Opinion contributor
My brother died alone in a cheap Long Island motel this past July from a disease commonly treated by unlicensed caregivers using nearly century-old, faith-based practices rather than modern medicine.
Tim was a successful businessman, loving husband, and adoring father of two young girls until alcoholism reduced him to a tormented shell of an addict. When he died at 49 he was in what is called the end stage, a living hell where withdrawal symptoms are so severe that the alcoholic has to drink incessantly just to mitigate the anguish. Tim was incapable of helping himself, and family members and friends were either disengaged or offered ill-advised support, both due to ignorance or misconceptions about the disease.
One misconception is that addiction is caused by lack of willpower or character flaws. Not true. It is a medically-recognized, chronic disease of the brain. Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, explains that this misconception "arises from a false belief that they have willfully abandoned their responsibilities in favor of a search for pleasure." In fact, she notes that alcoholics have a diminished ability to feel pleasure from alcohol.
Addiction treatment should be scientific
Even the 12-steps of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) discounts this medical wisdom. That program advises members to surrender to "God" who will, in turn, remove any "defects of character" and "shortcomings," and restore them to "sanity". Given AA's messaging, it's no wonder that certain loved ones watched passively from the sidelines believing Tim's fate was out of their hands.
More: 'A Star is Born': What the movie gets wrong about treatment for alcohol, opioid addiction
The opioid crisis hits home. Mine.
My friend overdosed in his recovery home, and no one was held accountable. That's about to change.
Having been raised by a recovering alcoholic, we heard inspiring stories of AA, but they were anecdotal. Peer-reviewed studies estimate the program has only a 5 to 10 percent success rate.
According to the National Institute of Health approximately 88,000 Americans die annually from alcohol-related causes. Yet, Columbia University's 2012 study on addiction medicine found that "only a small fraction of individuals receive interventions or treatment consistent with scientific knowledge about what works."
Not every alcoholic responds favorably to any particular treatment — as with any chronic disease. It's no surprise then that Tim failed to find sobriety in any of the 16 treatment facilities endorsing the 12-steps that he entered in his last three years. Many medical professionals recommend that hardcore addicts spend at least 90 days in an inpatient facility; he usually stayed about 30 days.
Last winter, my brother became a "snow bird" addict and entered a "Florida model" treatment center. Originating in its namesake, these low-overhead facilities offer walk-in, addiction counseling by day and separate group homes at night. They are proliferating all over the country, particularly in the Sun Belt, because the insurance companies favor their inexpensive approach and in many states no certification is required.
Making matters worse, many of those treating this potentially fatal disease are not licensed nor hold college degrees. According to the Columbia University report, only six states require addiction counselors to have at least a bachelor's degree. Absolutely no licensing is required in 14 states.
Physicians can't compete with individuals and facilities charging far less because of far less formal training. According to the Columbia report, only 1,200 U.S. physicians out of nearly a million are even trained in addiction medicine and, until 2016, only psychiatrists could get board-certified.
Knocking on death's doorstep
Just before my brother died, I was investigating New York State's Kendra's Law which can involuntarily commit an individual to an assisted outpatient treatment facility if they are mentally ill and cannot safely live on their own. Unfortunately, the law is ambiguous when it comes to alcoholics. And it didn't help matters that only one other family member was supportive of the idea, neither of us being the next of kin.
Although Tim was clearly on death's doorstep having been treated for serious medical issues at no less than nine emergency rooms in his last year, I could not find anyone who could advise me on how to use the law to save him.
In hindsight, I don't believe Tim let us down, so much as the village failed him. No addict should be exploited by caregivers and insurance companies, neglected by government authorities, or left to their own devices by family and friends. They are loved ones suffering from a painful and dehumanizing disease, and should be tirelessly afforded our support and all the appropriate, evidence-based, medical treatment to help them get well.
This may not have saved Tim, but I believe it would have given him a better fighting chance.

A sunscreen is a product that you apply to your skin for some protection against the sun's UV rays, although it does not provide total protection. Sunscreens are available in many forms — lotions, creams, ointments, gels, wipes, and lip balms, to name a few.
While many cosmetics, foundations, and lipsticks list the contain sunscreen you do not exactly slop it on, you gently apply it, and usually as little as is needed. In order to obtain the full 15 SPF or 30 SPF protection sunscreen should be slopped on allowing the skin to absorb it giving full protection as listed. Cosmetics, foundations, lipstick and other make-up without sunscreen does not provide sun protection. Check the labels to find out.

Dementia 13 (1963) Revisited on Blu-ray 4 comments
I wrote a review of Dementia 13 a while back, but that was based on seeing a fairly grainy version on YouTube. Last fall, the lovely people at Film Detective sent me a Blu-ray of the fun horror gem. I had some dumb technical issues so I'm just watching it now. Sorry, Film Detective. I didn't forget you.
"People get so dramatic when they're not invited to the wedding."
Dementia 13 was made in 1963, in black and white, for $40,000. Francis Ford Coppola filmed it, with Roger Corman's blessing, around the set of The Young Racers, also starring William Campbell and Luana Anders. It's just 75 minutes long and it's a terrific little thriller. It's not a perfect film, but it moves along and the acting is good, especially from Patrick Magee, who plays—surprise—a sinister doctor.
Since I first watched and wrote about this film, I've seen it a few times, but it's never looked this good. The Blu-ray version is crisp and clear and I managed to see more details of Dementia 13 in this viewing than I ever have. It's a real treat to see a film you like in the best possible way. Director of photography, Charles Hanawalt, uses a lot of natural and dim lighting. That makes sense considering the modern Gothic setting. It also means that in the past, I've had to strain to catch details. Not this time.
I enjoyed actually seeing Dementia 13 after all this time. If you're a fan, the Blu-ray is a must.
Psst…below is my review of Dementia 13, with a few additions.
Fishy fishy in the brook
Daddy's caught you on a hook
-Nursery rhyme
As John Haloran rows across the lake on his family's Irish estate, he teases his wife Louise (Luana Anders). If he drops dead, Louise will inherit none of the Haloran wealth. Pro tip: Never annoy your wife in a rowboat…if you have a bad heart. The always resourceful Louise dumps John overboard, packs his suitcase, and tells the family he went to New York on business. She'll stay at the Haloran castle and get to know them while John's away. Psst…it'll be a while. It doesn't take long for Louise to see just how nutty the Halorans are. Richard (William Campbell) solders bad art and scowls. Billy (Bart Patton) walks around in a fog telling people about his dreams. Lady Haloran, fixated on death and grief, holds funerals to commemorate a funeral. Creepy Doctor Caleb (Patrick Magee) tells everyone they're doing it wrong in a 'Get into my van. I have candy.' kind of way.
"…and then I crushed its head."
They're a fun bunch.
Weeeeee!
Louise, ever the multitasker, figures she'll push the already dotty Lady Haloran over the edge using a few props from the nursery while insinuating herself into the family and the will. Her simple plan runs into a snag, however and then the fun really starts.
If you see this you have gone too far.
Francis Ford Coppola (yes that one), wrote and directed Dementia 13 with some tweaks by Jack Hill (The Bees, Coffy). Coppola gives the film a creepy quality by using odd camera angles and off-kilter close-ups and filming so much of it at night. The look reminded me of George Romero's Night of the Living Dead (1968). Even the dim day shots look dismal and give the black and white film an eerie atmosphere.
Eavesdropping on the funeral.
What's missing is dialogue and character development. What dialogue there is works, but the characters need more to say to help us get to know them. More realistic conversations might also decrease the tendency toward exposition. Also, for a film set in Ireland, I found the lack of Irish accents from almost all the lead characters somewhat baffling. According to articles on the making of Dementia 13, producer Roger Corman assigned Coppola to make a gory version of Psycho on the cheap so he dashed off a script and went into production. In spite of this and the fact that this marked Coppola's non-porn directorial debut, it's a good gothic horror film with a creative plot and some genuinely scary moments. The nifty chamber music by Ronald Stein enhanced the mood as well. I understand why this has become such a cult favorite and I'm glad I finally saw it.
Thanks again to the folks at Film Detective.
Fun fact: Early on in the film, Louise discusses Richard's girlfriend saying, "You can tell she's an American girl, raised on promises." Sound familiar? It's pretty close to the first lines of the Tom Petty tune, "American Girl", released in 1976. I can't find definitive information to link the song lyrics to the film, but it's a neat tidbit.
A sure sign of quality

Ad Ops Online: IAB Releases OpenDirect 1.0 for Public Comment of Specification That Provides Publishers Greater Control in Packaging, Buying and Selling Premium Inventory Through Programmatic
November 17, 2014 in Article
Read on Ad Ops Online With programmatic practices flourishing within the digital media arena, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) has released "OpenDirect 1.0" for public comment, a new automated, guaranteed API standard for the programmatic selling and buying of premium inventory that delivers greater efficiencies and reliability in the packaging, pricing, and delivering of reserved inventory for publishers. Originally developed by a working group of representatives from AOL, Microsoft, Yahoo and Yieldex, and later expanded to include executives from Bionic Advertising Systems and MediaMath as well, the OpenDirect specification was brought to the IAB and its Digital Advertising Automation Task Force to be part of the trade association's existing automation efforts, gain wider industry participation, and drive adoption across the ecosystem.
"Efficient transactions between multiple publishers and buying platforms have the potential to dramatically accelerate the growth of automated guaranteed buying."
The specification offers a range of benefits to publishers, including:
Increased workflow efficiencies
Greater control in packaging, pricing, and delivery of inventory
Reliable means of automating reserved inventory
Once adopted by publishers, it will provide advantages for agencies as well, such as:
Liquidity of bigger pools of unique users
Increased efficiency via one API integration across multiple publishers
Book guaranteed delivery and access to media offerings not available on an exchange
"OpenDirect 1.0 is valuable to the industry at-large and therefore is best served under the auspices of the IAB, where we have the resources and reach to ensure it becomes a global standard," said Scott Cunningham, Vice President, Technology and Ad Operations, IAB. "Programmatic strategies have become a mainstay within our business and it is imperative to find solutions and technologies that will make these types of automated transactions more reliable and beneficial to all parties involved. This common set of API specifications sets the stage for direct programmatic ad sales and will allow buyers who want to access guaranteed inventory via automated processes avoid multiple, costly, custom integrations." "Microsoft was founded on the belief that technology empowers people and organizations to do more and achieve more," said Greg Nelson, General Manager, Display Advertising, Microsoft. "Supporting the growth of programmatic premium aligns with this value as this technology alleviates points of friction that make it hard for advertisers and publishers to scale big brand buys on the internet. By removing these obstacles, programmatic users are given back valuable time to focus on what matters most to them. These new standards will serve as a catalyst to unlock pent-up demand for premium publisher offerings and help speed the migration of offline media spend to online, and ultimately empower others to achieve more." "Yahoo has been working hard to establish standards that will improve programmatic buying and make the process easier and more efficient for advertisers," said Eric Lange, VP of Ad Products, Yahoo. "Common API specifications will help create a thriving digital ad ecosystem. Now, advertisers can confidently use programmatic to maximize the value of high-quality premium ad placements and get a higher return on their ad budgets." "This initiative and the capabilities it provides are in line with AOL's open programmatic strategy and an extension of our AOP Programmatic Guaranteed offering," said Seth Demsey, CTO, AOL Platforms. "Efficient transactions between multiple publishers and buying platforms have the potential to dramatically accelerate the growth of automated guaranteed buying." "We are excited to unveil the work we've been doing with AOL, Microsoft, and Yahoo to further our collective mission to make it easier for all premium publishers to increase efficiency and grow revenue," said Tom Shields, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Yieldex. "This standard will enable agencies to efficiently and easily buy premium inventory from some of the industry's most desirable properties." The news was released at this year's IAB Ad Operations Summit in New York City. To review "OpenDirect 1.0," please visit www.iab.net/opendirect. The public comment period will run through December 3, 2014, after which the IAB Digital Advertising Automation Task Force will evaluate the comments received, make any necessary revisions, and release a final version. Comments are being accepted via email by Ramona Gonzales, IAB lead on this initiative, atramona@iab.net.

Keith Urban, Nicole Kidman Perform Wedding Serenade Together in Italy [Watch]
Tricia Despres Published: September 30, 2019
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman sure know how to keep the romance alive wherever they go — like in Italy over the weekend.
According to a number of Instagram posts, Urban and his wife of 13 years stepped onstage together to sing the Elton John classic "Your Song" to a couple whose wedding they were attending. They exchanged verses of the romantic ballad, while seemingly singing it to the happy couple.
Of course, this is not the first time the actress and country megastar have sung together. Who could forget the time back in 2016 that they lip-synced to the song "The Fighter," the very song that Urban and Carrie Underwood eventually took to No. 1?
Indeed, the couple looked like they were having a magnificent time together over the weekend, even posing for a selfie that Urban shared on his Instagram page on Sunday (Sept. 29).
"Sunset in Firenze, with my love," he says in the post caption:
Urban and Kidman married in the summer of 2006 and have two young daughters together, and they make it a priority to keep their couple fire burning. As for the secret?
"Just love. Just love each other, lavish each other with love," Kidman revealed in an interview with People in 2016. "Also we just happen to like each other, too. That works."
Urban will likely be spending more quality time with family in the months ahead, as the "We Were" hitmaker wraps up his Graffiti U World Tour in Oklahoma on Oct. 18. The Aussie will finish up the year playing in Nashville on New Year's Eve.

Surely a city is a place where people and economies flow together, where differences commingle. In contrast, the most pervasive force in Jerusalem is division – division visible in walls and fences but also hidden away in legislation and identity cards, division that is so elaborate and highly scripted that it hinders even the most mundane everyday activities. At least, for half of its citizens, that is.
Anyone who's been to this year's Venice Architecture Biennale, the theme of which is "cities", might have noticed that Jerusalem isn't represented. This is because it doesn't fit the exhibition's neat encapsulation of the kind of problems facing our cities. It doesn't provide the dramatic aerial image of a megalopolis, with the eloquent warnings about urban population explosions that such images make. But this is short sighted. In an age when – even in "liberal" Britain – our paranoia about immigration and terrorism is making civil liberties expendable, Jerusalem is a masterclass in what our cities mustn't become.
There it is in a nutshell. In this theatre Israel plays the traditional role of the coloniser, using every advantage that that gives it – such as making the law – to secure as much of the area in and around Jerusalem for itself and to stifle Palestinian ownership as much as possible.
Here is a basic and infamous example. Adopting the medieval strategy, Israel has built a wall around the city defining an imaginary entity called "Greater Jerusalem". The ostensible reason for the wall is to keep out suicide bombers, but it also happens to take a substantial (13%) and illegal bite out of the West Bank. Aside from cutting right through Palestinian neighbourhoods, it encloses the Palestinians' half of the city, known as East Jerusalem, throttling any idea of it becoming their capital.
cycle of "illegal" building. The result is almost the opposite situation to the sprawling slums of São Paolo and Caracas that are on display in Venice. With no room to sprawl, Palestinian neighbourhoods grow denser and denser, while Israeli settlements spread themselves out in a leisurely suburbia around them.
Of the 38 contributors to this book, not one attempts to justify Israel's planning and delineation policies. Ordinarily, this degree of consensus ought to make a reader suspicious; in this case, there's no defending the indefensible. However, the book is no diatribe. It is a deeply impressive – exhaustive – body of research that brings not just the city's problems but also its history to life. It is well illustrated with maps and photography, and if you can look past some of the academic jargon then the sheer complexity of the situation and your sense of injustice should keep you reading. As will the odd unexpected detail, such as the story about a love affair between an ultra-orthodox Jewish woman and a Palestinian taxi driver.

Well, it's one of her houses.
Kylie Jenner's got quite a few houses — and now, according to *TMZ, her brother Rob Kardashian is staying in one of them with Blac Chyna and their newborn daughter, Dream.
As a source told TMZ, the home in question is being rented to Rob and Chyna so that they can be closer to matriarch Kris Jenner and sister Kim Kardashian while they raise Dream. (No one in the family has commented on their living arrangements, so take this for what it's worth.) Apparently, the siblings are still working out leasing terms for the six-bedroom, seven-bath mansion. In other news, this holiday season I will be working out the terms for which of my siblings deserve a gift that crests the $25 range.
The living situation might raise a few eyebrows if you're familiar with the familial backstory here. Kylie's current boyfriend Tyga is Chyna's ex, and the two have a son together, King Cairo. Kylie's brother, Rob, and Chyna, started dating early this year; they welcomed Dream a few weeks ago. Despite any perceived drama, Kylie and Chyna squashed rumors that they weren't friends with a few key Snaps earlier this year. Kylie's also been supportive of her brother and Blac Chyna's new family, tweeting her excitement over welcoming Dream after her birth and Snapchatting herself holding the baby girl.

Q: What does the term "assert" mean in respect of hardware (bus) signals? Reading a hardware bus specification, I frequently come across things like:
"When the controller sees that a bus request has been made, it asserts the Bus Grant line to the first device."
What exactly does the term "assert" mean here? Is it as simple as "activate", or is there more to it?


It's 11 pm on a Saturday and you've locked yourself out of your house. You'll have to call a locksmith. Then you'll wait for him or her to come to your place… and, if you're a New Yorker, you'll end up paying about $100 to get back into your house.
But what if you could go a 7-Eleven and get a whole new copy of your key for about $20, instead? A homegrown startup called KeyMe has just installed two kiosks in New York City 7-Elevens to do just that. Three more are coming this week, says the startup's founder, Greg Marsh. But don't first go to a kiosk when you're in trouble. You'll need to have the foresight to have had a copy of your key scanned digitally beforehand.
Here's how it works. When you first go to a kiosk, you scan the key you want copied. If you like, you are able to make a copy right then and there for $3.49, for a basic key, or $5.99, for a novelty one.
You may also choose to make an account with KeyMe and save a digital file of the key in KeyMe's online database. Simply storing the digital file is free. Then, if you lock yourself out in the future, you can go to a KeyMe kiosk, log into your account and get a new key cut from the file for $19.99. Logging into your account requires your email and a single fingerprint scan.

I know that eating things in season has a huge affect on quality of food and eating experience, but what about eating in the proper seasonal location? Because all three of those things I have eaten before, and they've never tasted as good as they did this afternoon. Sometimes eating outside heightens flavor, I swear it. Sometimes on a cold snowy day, nothing beats coming home and making hot food.

I have been trying to get in as much time as possible bouldering in the Park, building up strength and muscle memory for several projects in hopes for sending when the temperatures begin to let up. Most of these trips have been solo, grabbing a window of time when I can for as long as I can. Besides age, this is the primary contrast I have with most boulderers up here. Time, or rather the lack of it.
Time is a relentless opponent in the game of getting anything interesting done up here. The season is ruthlessly short, the approach and drive anything but swift and convenient, and conditions are constantly changing from hour to hour. There is also the bigger picture of time as in my age and the question of physical decline. I perceive a narrowing window of possibility with every visit. How many seasons more? Can I become strong enough to realize my ambitions? Persistence and luck seem to be the answer, in roughly equal measure.
The compensations are tremendous. The setting here is sublime, unparalleled in the pursuit of bouldering. The boulders are sculpted with a master's hand, not literally, but metaphorically. The shapes, colors, arrangements, and textures seem the result of some native spirit, a spirit who has shaped a private garden of stone, water and trees, a site that constantly reveals new insights into the natural world. Though temporarily lost in the flurries of crowds and chatter that occasionally drift by, this sense of understanding and engagement with nature returns with solitude. One is faced with the rock and one's own mind and spirit and body. This is all that matters. That and the light that illuminates the forests and distant peaks.
Thanks for the engaging and thoughtful post. It's rare thing for climbing commentary to speak so directly to my private world of climbing inspiration. The incredible force of nature, the passage of time, the relentless and occasionally effortless focus of will, these things are all key ingredients in our collective fascination. It's rare that anyone bothers to attempt, let alone succeeds, to weave all these forces into a three paragraph cameo. You're a damn good writer Peter, I'm frankly a bit envious.

National View: Wonder Woman is the perfect hero for the Trump era
By Henry D. Godinez
My youngest daughter, Gaby, and I have a cherished tradition of watching superhero and sci-fi movies together, like "Star Trek," "Star Wars" and, most recently, "Wonder Woman." We'd both been looking forward to finally seeing a superhero film with a woman at the center.
Men don't need to know or love a woman to care about gender equality, but as a man with five sisters and two daughters, I've found myself growing increasingly sensitive to how women are represented in cinema. And, happily, now, my daughter, who graduated from high school this year, points out such disparities, too.
As a professor of theater at Northwestern University, and a professional actor and director of color myself, I pay close attention to, and can't help but closely analyze, how women and actors of color are represented on screen.
Of the 19 films that Marvel and DC Comics have made over the past 10 years, none of them has had a woman at the helm, either in front of or behind the camera. All that changed with the Warner Bros. production of DC's "Wonder Woman," starring Gal Gadot and directed by Patty Jenkins. The movie is now the highest-grossing live-action film directed by a woman, and it's on the verge of becoming the biggest earner in DC's extended universe.
"Wonder Woman" begins on Themyscira, an island of Amazons, mythical women of extraordinary fighting ability that — and this is key — the gods created to protect the world. In interviews, the film's stars stressed its themes of world peace and female empowerment. Nonetheless, the film was besieged by controversies well before it opened, from its marketing campaign with a diet protein bar, to the United Nations designating Wonder Woman, a character many considered a sex symbol, as an "honorary ambassador for the empowerment of women and girls." The backlash was so intense that the U.N. quietly withdrew the designation several months later.
None of that seemed to trouble the young girl my daughter pointed out at the movie theater when we saw it, who was there with her father, replete in her Wonder Woman costume, shield and all. And it hasn't bothered the film's Israeli star Gadot, despite enduring two years of sexual and anti-Semitic harassment. Referring to the double standard our society seems so eager to embrace, Gadot said, "I don't quite get it, if she's smart and strong, she can't also be sexy. That's not fair. Why can't she be all of the above?" The film's success shows most critics and audiences agree. (Despite the well-deserved praise for the film's female empowerment, it is nonetheless hard to deny its racial Achilles' heel: Women of color in the film are noticeably marginalized.)
The timing of the film's release during the current climate in our country is both ironic and so important.
The rise of President Donald Trump, and the misogynistic attitudes that he has espoused so often over the years, no doubt paved the way for some of the controversy surrounding a recent women-only screening of the film in Austin. Up to now, of course, the screenings of superhero movies have been metaphorically all-male all along, from gender disparity on corporate boards and in positions of leadership to on-screen representation. So naturally, a film about an exceptional group of women created specifically to save the world that men have wrecked would be threatening.
But it is eerily apropos at this moment in our nation's history, when a new international poll of 37 countries found that favorable perceptions of the United States has fallen, and only a median 22 percent of those countries surveyed, including traditional allies such as Britain and France, felt that our president could be trusted to do the right thing when it came to global affairs.
Unlike the central action of the film — personified by American soldier Steve Trevor's selfless determination to defend the world from evil and by Wonder Woman's own drive to stand up for the vulnerable — the poll indicates that Trump's words and actions scorn those very principles that traditionally defined the United States in the 20th century and have caused America's standing in the eyes of the world to plummet.
So it's no wonder that watching Wonder Woman with my daughter — on the very day that Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord — lines like "If no one else will defend the world, then I must" blared out like clarion calls.
To both of us, and I hope many others, the film served notice that if men won't save the world even though we've long held the majority of powerful leadership positions and thus had ample opportunity to have done so by now, then women are ready to do it instead.
