Welcome to November. With almost ….
Welcome to November. With almost a week into the month, I assume everyone is adjusted to the end of Daylight Savings Time and all the changes needed.
As I write on Friday, the first day of the month, I can say it is a typical November day. Cloudy, cold and getting dark very early. The weatherman has been talking about it being below average for temperature, but while I don't like it especially, it does seem better now than later. When we actually get into winter and the temperatures drop 20 degrees below normal, that will be cold.
I kind of miss my old friend Roy Hartl this time of the season, as he loved Daylight Savings Time and I delighted in reminding him to set his clocks back. Of course, he could turn the tide by telling me how much longer before we set them ahead again.
Thanks to a clock I acquired when my brother Harold passed away, I have had a week to get prepared. It's a clock that automatically goes back and ahead for the change in time. The problem is the clock was made before Congress decided to fool with the time changes and moved the dates. So for the past week I had to be careful not to rely on that time, but look across the room to see the clock that gets changed by hand twice a year.
ÓÓÓÓÓ
The major news channel never seems to lack news to report, but lately a major event keeps in the news day after day. That's the fires burning in California and one has to wonder if there is anything left to burn out there.
I can tell a story about my introduction to the state in March of 1951. When I left Wisconsin we were having some giant winter snowstorms so the warm, sunny days and the green hills just outside Camp Stoneman were a lovely sight to behold.
Then came May and the hills turned brown, as it never rained again until November. In June we found the camp fire department out burning every blade of dry grass they could find. We were told that the old wooden barracks we lived in had been built during early World War II and it was estimated they would burn in minutes if they ever caught fire.
Another factor is our changing society. People love to live in the country, but you have the risk, and especially in those states with limited rain, the possibility of fire burning the countryside.
Florence's brother Joe and his wife learned all about that years ago when they retired and built a new home, what I called was "up the hill" from Colorado Springs. They built at about 9,500 feet and people ahead of them learned the hard way how to avoid damage from a forest fire.
For one thing, they had to have a driveway wide enough to get fire fighting equipment in and secondly, needed to keep burnable material away from the house.
The thin air must have gotten to them as they have since moved down hill and live in Denver.
Since retiring and getting my own computer, I have acquired a habit of checking funeral homes daily to see who might have passed away. I think it dates back to my early days in the printing business when one of our rush job orders was for printing funeral cards that are handed out at funerals.
It got to be an old story. About the time we would be going somewhere, someone would die and before we left town I'd have to go down and print those funeral cards. It wasn't a big money maker, but shows how one business depends on another to do what is necessary.
These days the new technology and equipment are much quicker and easier, I assume, and are so much nicer.
Checking various funeral homes I keep pretty much in touch with who has left this world and it even comes in handy for a column idea now and then.
Just as it did this week when I checked out the Skinner Funeral Home in Cumberland. They also have homes in Turtle Lake, Shell Lake and Rice Lake. One of the obits was for Rose Strasser. Just a few weeks ago I had written about attending her husband's funeral who had died at age 99.
She was only 90 and was a busy person, just like Harold. In addition to caring for their three children and being a farmer's wife, she loved to bake cakes. When I told Jackie about her dying, she remembered that Rose had made their wedding cake and had even delivered it when she got married.
But the death notice just ahead of Rose was for Irene Hansen. Now she wasn't someone I knew, but the name Arnold Hansen rang a bell. We didn't know him as Arnold, but rather "Chuck".
He was one of the Hansen boys I knew when I was growing up and at the time lived on the farm right next door to the Pipe Lake Lutheran Church.
If my memory serves me correctly, there was five boys and two girls. The boys all had nick names. Besides Arnold "Chuck" there was Bernard who went by the name "Si" and Alvin was "Robin". Myland was "Dick" and Hilbert was "Bud".
I guess I can tell one more story from that. Alvin married a local girl who was our first cook when hot lunches were started when I was still in grade school.
I grew up and moved away. Years later, Florence and I were attending the Minnesota State Fair and we must have stayed over night, as this happened early in the morning.
The fair had a number of stages around the fairgrounds which had musicians putting on shows. At this particular one, the guy playing the accordion wanted volunteers to come up on stage and dance. I had hung my head trying to avoid his eye, but he called on me anyway. Finally I said, fine, no one is going to know me anyway, so I went up.
When the music was over and I came down from the stage, I met someone who said, "Do you remember me, I'm Esther Hansen and I was your hot lunch cook". Yes, I remembered her and that had been many years ago.
The news from Washington is getting to a point where I hold my breath and wonder what next. It even got so bad the guy called me a bad name. He said anyone who had been a Republican and no longer supported him was scum. Well, that wasn't nice and my come back to him was to think, "It takes one to know one".
The Spencer Lions have had a nice sign right next to the traffic light for several weeks. It said,"Integrity is something you do right, even when no one is watching".
With a new month, I have some historical items to pass along. On November 1, 1800, John Adams moved into the White House, which was newly constructed. On November 2, 1983, President Reagan designated Martin Luther King as a federal holiday and on November 3, 1948, the Chicago Tribune announced Thomas Dewey as winner of the election over Harry Truman.On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama became the first African American to be elected president. On November 8, 1960, John F. Kennedy was the youngest man to be elected president.
Did you hear about the lady who had two dogs? They were named Timex and Rolex. They were watch dogs.

We all think of desserts in a different light. Some dream of deep-fried oreos, some envision a fondant-covered cake from Carlo's Bakery. Me – I was brought up on good old-fashioned European-style Sunday desserts. We didn't need colored sugar or a sweet toothache to get high off the delight of these desserts.
One could almost argue that they are the healthier version of desserts, usually laden with fruits. My mother's signature is her pies/tarts: apple, pear, pecan, peach (see link above for more). Let's just admit that Europeans are the rulers of desserts, and it could be quite a debate whether Italy or France would reign. When searching for special pastries that are American, we fall short in that we gear bakery items to ward children. When I close my eyes to get the connotation of "American bakery", I come up with lots of unnatural colors, loads of sweetness, and icing – tons of icing – as in the no-textured messy dessert of cupcakes. Okay, so my connotation was extreme, but I think you will agree with my portrait of contrasts.
After taking my mother to an early Mother's Day dinner at Bouley, I decided to take her the following week for a late afternoon dessert and coffee, and I knew it wasn't going to be in New Jersey. Where do you take a woman from Europe who knows how to make some of the best classics and appreciates such high-end delicacies? I must ask another European who happens to own a restaurant, who happens to have worked at an upscale Italian restaurant, who happens to be Albanian (close enough). "Name two of the best places to sit down and have Italian pastries and coffee." His response: "Roccos' or Venerio's." So I drove her to Pasticceria Rocco on Bleeker.
We were seated in the back, which has an outdoor patio feel but is covered with a glass ceiling. Don't look up because you will see dirt and leaves and sides of buildings. Just enjoy the natural light that peers upon you. Before our server came, we studied the cases up front to carefully make our selections. She couldn't decide between the small lemon meringue pie and the multi-fruit and custard-filled puff pastry. Naturally, the only solution was to order both with a double espresso.
Cheesecake is not usually my first choice, but the pistachio cheesecake whispered to me through the glass with its abundant chopped pistachio pieces. I watched my mother transform into a young child back at home, slowly consuming and savoring every bite as a rare treat. Time stood still for a little while as I glimpsed into the past.
And Rocco's passed her coffee test. Not only was the double espresso served in a small coffee cup, but the potency measured up to her standards. It is difficult to walk by all these desserts without taking some home "for Dad". It was a good excuse to get another little taste the next day.

In the age of automation, companies getting serious about soft skills: Report
Jammu-Srinagar NH reopens for one-way traffic
Press Trust of India | Jammu Last Updated at January 30, 2019 13:55 IST
https://mybs.in/2X366oM
Landslide blocks Jammu-Srinagar national highway
Landslide hits Jammu-Srinagar highway
Jammu-Srinagar national highway closed after landslide in Ramban district
Traffic suspended after landslides on Jammu-Srinagar highway
Jammu-Srinagar NH closed after rains trigger landslide
The strategic Jammu-Srinagar National Highway was reopened for one-way traffic Wednesday after authorities cleared the landslide which had struck the highway in Ramban district, a traffic department official said.
The landslide had blocked the 270-km highway, the only all-weather road linking Kashmir with the rest of the country, at Anokhi fall around 1.30 am but after the road clearance operation was completed at 9.15 am, Jammu-bound vehicles were allowed to ply, the official said.
He said the traffic was going on smoothly when last reports came in although the weather remained cloudy.
Hundreds of Jammu-bound vehicles were left stranded on the highway on Tuesday due to shooting of stones from the hillock overlooking the highway at Panthiyal, also in Ramban district.
Accordingly, authorities decided to allow traffic from Srinagar to Jammu on Wednesday as well.
The traffic on the highway usually plies from the twin capital cities of Srinagar and Jammu alternatively but heavy snowfall, multiple landslides and shooting of stones forced closure of the highway for six days from January 21.
A spokesman of the meteorological department forecast wet weather in most parts of Jammu and Kashmir during the next 48 hours and said it might also affect the highway especially Banihal-Ramban axis Wednesday night and Thursday.
Chilly conditions prevailed in Jammu as the Sun remained hidden behind the clouds which, otherwise, led to marked improvement in the night temperature.
Jammu, the City of Temples, recorded a low of 7.7 degrees Celsius compared to the previous night's 4.1 degrees Celsius, the spokesman said adding the night temperature in the city remained just 1.1 degree below normal during this part of the season.
After reeling under sub-zero temperature after the recent snowfall, the highway town of Banihal recorded a minimum of 0.7 degrees Celsius, nearby Batote 1.2 degrees Celsius and Bhaderwah in Doda district 0.6 degrees Celsius.
Katra, the base camp for pilgrims visiting the Mata Vaishno Devi Shrine, recorded a night temperature of 7.4 degrees Celsius, the spokesman said.

One of the breakout hits of last season was the debut of Young Sheldon. The Big Bang Theory prequel delves into what growing up was like for Jim Parsons' Sheldon Cooper.
The show stars Iain Armitage (Big Little Lies) as the title character alongside Zoe Perry, Lance Barber and Raegan Revord.
At CTV's 2018 upfront presentation, I caught up with Young Sheldon's Zoe Perry and Lance Barber. We chatted about the success of the show's first season and if even they could have predicted how popular the Big Bang Theory prequel would become. We also discussed how the show has been able to find its own voice despite the popularity of its predecessor and where the show will go when it returns.
Young Sheldon airs Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. on CTV.

Index Futures Fall to Close Out Volatile Week
Chinese officials are cracking down on cryptocurrency
Jacob Scott
Dow Jones Futures are around 145 points lower
Stock futures are lower this morning, as Wall Street looks to conclude a rocky week of trading. At last check, Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) futures are down around 145 points, while futures on the S&P 500 Index (SPX) and Nasdaq-100 Index (NDX) are also swimming in red ink. Investors are digesting several earnings reports, including a quarterly revenue miss and lower-than-expected full-year forecast out of blue-chip Nike (NKE). Elsewhere, crypto and technology markets may be in jeopardy, as China aims to crackdown on Bitcoin (BTC), after the central bank in the region said all cryptocurrency related activities are illegal. Regardless, all three major indexes are still pacing toward modest weekly wins.

5 Things You Need to Know Today
The Cboe Options Exchange (CBOE) saw more than 1.8 million call contracts traded on Thursday, compared to 780,742 put contracts. The single-session equity put/call ratio fell to 0.43, and the 21-day moving average stayed at 0.50.
The shares of Roku Inc (NASDAQ:ROKU) are down 2.7% in electronic trading, after Wells Fargo downgraded the streaming staple to "equal weight" from "overweight." The analyst in question cited overenthusiastic revenue growth expectations as the catalyst for the note. Year-over-year, Roku stock is up 78.7%.
Nike Inc (NYSE:NKE) is down 5.1% before the opening bell, after the blue-chip sneaker manufacturer cut its revenue forecasts amid a myriad of supply chain complications. In addition, Nike expects full-year sales growth for the 2022 fiscal year to come in lower than previously forecasted. This negative price action will put a dent in Nike stock's 12.8% year-to-date lead.
Retail giant Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) beat top- and bottom-line expectations in its fiscal fourth-quarter report last night. Further, net sales rose more than 17% year-over-year, while the shares have added 34.8% in the same timespan. COST was last seen 0.5% higher ahead of the open.
Closing out the week, new home sales are on the docket today.
Evergrande Crisis Continues to Grip Overseas Markets
Asian markets were mostly lower on Friday, amid lingering uncertainty as to whether or not China Evergrande Group will pay interest on an overdue U.S. dollar-denominated bond. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reported the Chinese government has told officials to prepare for Evergrande's potential collapse. The sole gainer was Japan's Nikkei, which added 2.1%, while South Korea's Kospi settled just below breakeven. Pacing the laggards was Hong Kong's Hang Seng with a 1.3% drop, followed by China's Shanghai Composite's 0.8% dip.
European markets are also lower, as investors keep an eye on Evergrande. European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde told CNBC in an interview that Europe's direct exposure to that crisis would be "limited," however. Also weighing heavy is news that German business sentiment dropped for a third-straight month in September. At last check, France's CAC 40 is 1% lower, the German DAX is down 0.8%, and London's FTSE 100 is off 0.3%.


TAKE NOTICE that Maritime Electric Company, Limited ("Maritime Electric") has filed an application for changes to rates, toll and charges to be effective March 1, 2016. This is Commission Docket #UE20942.
Since March 1, 2011, electricity rates on PEI were legislated under the Electric Power Act as part of the PEI Energy Accord between the Government of P.E.I. and Maritime Electric. The PEI Energy Accord legislated rates expire February 29, 2016.
Maritime Electric is applying for this rate increase under Section 20 of the Electric Power Act (R.S.P.E.I. 1988, Cap. E-4).
Maritime Electric is requesting an adjustment to electricity rates that would result in an increase of 2.5%, or $2.82/month, for a typical rural residential customer using 650kWh of electricity monthly. Customers using more or less electricity monthly will experience increases at different rates proportional to their monthly consumption. The application proposes changes to the electricity tariff structure.
This application incorporates the recommendations from Maritime Electric of previously filed applications for 2016 Capital Budget, 2014 Depreciation Study and 2015-2020 Demand Side Management Plan. These applications are presently under review by the Commission.
The application proposes a return on Average Rate Base of 7.64%, with a proposed range of 7.56% to 7.72%.
Any person wishing to comment on the filing must do so by writing to the Commission at the address below. In order to be considered, written comments must be received by the Commission by Friday, December 4, 2015. Persons wishing to pose questions to Maritime Electric on the filing may do so by sending their questions, in writing, to Maritime Electric on or before Friday, November 13, 2015. All questions filed must be copied to the Commission. Maritime Electric must provide written responses to questions on or before Wednesday, November 25, 2015. All responses must be copied to the Commission.
All questions posed and comments provided related to this application will be made public on the Commission website at www.irac.pe.ca.
DATED at Charlottetown, this 28th day of October, 2015.

SEOUL, Dec. 11 (Yonhap) -- A North Korean propaganda media outlet warned South Korea on Sunday of an "unpredictable situation" if Seoul lights up a giant Christmas tree-shaped tower near their tense border.
It had been an annual tradition for South Korea to light up the Christmas tree on top of a hill called Aegibong near the western border with the North before it was suspended in 2003 under a reconciliation agreement with the North to end border propaganda activity.
But the South resumed lighting the 30-meter-tall tower last year after the North's deadly artillery attack on a border island in the Yellow Sea. Pyongyang has strongly condemned the move with a series of warnings that it will strike down the glowing structure that it denounces as psychological warfare.
On Sunday, the North Korean Web site Uriminjokkiri denounced Seoul's plan to light up the tower this year, saying the move is aimed at provoking the North and stepping up anti-North Korea psychological warfare. It also warned that the South will bear the "entire responsibilities" if an "unpredictable situation" happens.
The glowing structure has served as a symbol of the prosperous South in contrast to the destitute North, which is apparently concerned that the lights would weaken its regime's ideological control of its hunger-stricken people.
The Aegibong peak is just across a border river that separates the two Koreas. A glowing Christmas tree at the peak can be seen with the naked eye from as far as the major North Korean border city of Kaesong.


It's been a long wait, but the seeds of the crazily good Mortal Kombat: Rebirth demo film that hit the Web last year have finally born fruit in the form of part one of a 10-episode Web series, Mortal Kombat: Legacy. This first installment continues the ultra-gritty cop drama aesthetic director Kevin Tancharoen employed in Rebirth and throws in some big budget explosions and gun-fu for added awesome.
Featuring actors from across the geekosphere, Legacy's first episode is a dream come true for fans of Mortal Kombat and genre film in general. Battlestar Galactica's Tahmoh Pennikett makes an appearance as Striker; Michael Jai White of Spawn and The Dark Knight leads the cast as Jax (or Jacks, as he was called in Rebirth), and Star Trek: Voyager's Borg bombshell Jeri Ryan returns as Sonya Blade. The first episode of Legacy also features Darren Shahlavi as Kano, who we see come eye to eye with his, well, eye. You'll see what we mean when you watch the clip.
WARNING: Features NSFW language and violence.
In Tancharoen's Rebirth, which you can see below, Jax and Sonya set Scorpion out on a mission to win the Mortal Kombat tournament and bring down Shang Tsung. It's unknown whether that story has carried over from Rebirth, as that feature was more of a proof-of-concept than anything else. However, episode two of Legacy is meant to go live next week. We will definitely be watching.

Q: How to stay signed in even after clicking refresh button I am new to php and I want to add a functionality such that whenever user fills the form and logs in, the php code runs perfectly fine but after refreshing the page user have to again fill the form. I don't know code nor have knowledge of further.I tried googling but I only see these kind of solutions:
header(refresh: 5, url: url);
or
meta tag
That refreshes automatically but not after clicking the refresh button.
This is my php code:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="services.css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap-css/bootstrap.css"/>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="bootstrap-3.3.5-dist/css/bootstrap.min.css">

Log In

        <form method="post" onsubmit="return logInPass()" action="log.php">

              Email:
              <input id="usrEmail" name="usrEmail" type="email" class="form-control" size="25%" placeholder="sample@example.com"/>

                Password:
                <input id="u_pswd" type="password" class="form-control" size="25%" placeholder="Enter alteast 8 characters" />

            <button id="submit" name="checkout" class="btn btn-primary" type="submit" value="submit">Log In</button>
        </form>

  <?php
    echo "";
    session_start();
    $_SESSION['username'] = $_POST['usrEmail'];
    echo"Welcome  ".$_SESSION['username']."

";
    echo "Today is ".date("Y-m-d")."
".date("h:i:sa")."
";
?>

A: Use SESSION or COOKIES to store logged in status
On successful sign in, set a session variable or cookie.
Then check if the session variable or cookie is isset and is the intented value, then keep the user on the page. Otherwise, redirect to login.
Also keep session_start() at the beginning of the page.

Edits to make it clear for the OP
Add session_start() at the beginning of the page. After validating the username and password, if an existing user, set a session using the below code.
$_SESSION['u_name'] = $_POST['usrEmail'];

otherwise, redirect to login page.
Then on top of all user specific pages (the pages that are accessible only to logged in users) paste the below code.
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['u_name']))
{
   header('location:login.php?redirect='.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
   exit;
}

Hope this will help.

A: use sessions:
session_start();   // in top of PHP file
...
$_SESSION["userName"] = $userName;

in your page
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION["userName"]) && $_SESSION["userName"] != ''){
 //redirect to logged in page
}

A: Firstly you're outputting before header with the location of session_start();.
Place it as your first line under your opening <?php tag, and you're missing an underscore in $SESSION and for $SESSION['username'], it is a superglobal.

*

*The session isn't being recorded/stored because of it.

*Sidenote: I'm really hoping that wasn't a typo on your part.

That should read as $_SESSION['username']
Having used error reporting, would have signaled a notice of an undefined variable.
Make sure that $_POST['usrEmail'] also holds a value and the element bears the same name attribute, and that the session is started inside all pages using sessions and with no typos as you have now.
Add error reporting to the top of your file(s) which will help find errors.
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

// rest of your code

Sidenote: Displaying errors should only be done in staging, and never production.

If you want to retain session values in a form, use a ternary operator for the inputs:
<input type="text" name= "usrEmail" id="usrEmail" value="<?php echo !empty(htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['username'])) ? htmlspecialchars($_SESSION['username']) : ''; ?>">

...and apply that same method to your other form inputs.
Check to see if the session is set and not empty.
<?php
session_start();
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);

    if(isset($_SESSION["userName"]) && !empty($_SESSION["userName"]) )
    {
        // do something
    }

    else{
        // do something else
    }

A: as you are using sessions to store user name . This session can be used in if condition as like i had used here:

 <?php session_start();
            if($_SESSION['id']=='')
            {
            ?>
            Welcome, Guest  SignIn
            <?php }
            else
            { ?>
            Welcome, <?php echo $_SESSION['name'];?>   SignOut  My Account

<?php }
?>

Here i had stored User Id in session[id] which will make a condition to show user login or not.

Millions feel overwhelmed by the thought of returning back to 'normal' life after lockdown
By Floriane Laroche
Friday, 14th May 2021, 2:44 pm
More than a quarter of adults feel overwhelmed at the thought of life after lockdown – when life admin and social occasions kick in.
A study of 2,000 adults found 38 per cent are now used to living in the 'slow lane' and 23 per cent are not looking forward to life becoming more fast-paced from Monday (May 17th).
Just over three in 10 (31 per cent) want to keep a balance of 'me time' and social plans as restrictions continue to ease.
And 27 per cent went as far as to say they haven't missed having a diary full of events.
It also emerged that while 28 per cent are excited about getting their social life back, 25 per cent are anxious and 23 per cent feel nervous.
A third are not looking forward to being in busy, crowded spaces in the near future and 18 per cent don't want the pressure of making small talk.
Instead, more than three in 10 would like to ease back into a busy social life post lockdown slowly rather than all at once.
And one in six are stressed out at the thought of the amount of life admin and organisation that comes with plans.
A spokesperson for broadband provider Virgin Media which commissioned the research to launch its free virtual assistant service, said: "There are clearly mixed feelings about life after lockdown as we accelerate towards a post-restriction world.
"After more than a year spent staying connected with loved ones online and socialising virtually, we're approaching another shift with many feeling overwhelmed by the growing number of social plans and life admin that come with it.
"And while adapting a new busier routine, almost a fifth admitted they'd happily keep socialising virtually after lockdown with some video call get-togethers.
"The research reveals people have spent just under six hours rearranging events since March 2020 so it's no surprise 15 per cent feel they would benefit from having a personal assistant to help ease them into a faster-paced routine."
Booking struggles
The study also found 17 per cent aren't looking forward to not being able to make appointments and bookings at venues like restaurants and bars.
Since April 12th, 53 per cent have struggled to get an outdoor reservation and had to make an average of five attempts before they could make a booking, leaving them frustrated (37 per cent) and disappointed (36 per cent).
A further 30 per cent admitted they will find it annoying having to book in advance rather than making spontaneous plans in the future.
The average adult already has three social events booked in for May and is expecting to spend £117 per month on average at social events this upcoming summer.
Despite upcoming plans, 43 per cent have found not going out during lockdown relaxing, with almost one in five not looking forward to no longer having restrictions as an excuse to not see people.
How to get out of going to a social event
More than half of those polled via OnePoll have told a white lie in the past to get out of plans, with fake illness (24 per cent), tiredness (19 per cent) and having to work (18 per cent) among the top excuses.
Events people have tried to get out of with an exaggerated version of the truth include socialising with colleagues (37 per cent), friends' birthdays (20 per cent) and dinner with the in-laws (13 per cent).
Virgin Media has teamed up with TV personality Tom Read Wilson to provide a series of lockdown lifting life hacks, including a virtual assistant service and an online tool to help people say no when they need to.
Tom said: "It's important to remember to pause and practice the art of moderation when reconnecting with loved ones and adjusting to a busier routine – the last thing we want is social burnout.
"And for those who need a bit of assistance wriggling their way out of unwanted plans or simply want to continue to embrace the joy of missing out, they can head to my 'polite decline generator' for some inspiration on how to say no with grace."
Tom Read Wilson launches Virgin Media's free virtual assistant service to help people ease into a faster-paced routine ahead of restrictions lifting. The celeb-style service will allow people to hand over life admin tasks to a remote-based PA, with online applications open now until 26 May. More information, including Tom's tips for avoiding social burnout, is available here www.virginmedia.com/tomstricks
Virgin Media's spokesperson added: "Everyone will have a different approach to adjusting to life after lockdown with a fifth of those surveyed saying they will continue to socialise virtually on some occasions.
"So whether they're out and about meeting friends, catching up with family online, or sat solo on the sofa, we're helping the nation bounce back however they choose."
TOP 20 THINGS PEOPLE ARE NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO WHEN RESTRICTIONS CONTINUE TO EASE:
Being in busy or in crowded spaces e.g. bars
Waiting in queues
Wearing a mask
Spending lots of money
Getting public transport
Making small talk
Not being able to use the lockdown restrictions as an excuse to not see people
Not being able to get an appointment / booking e.g. at pubs, restaurants, hairdressers
Talking about lockdown
Constantly feeling tired
Repeating the same stories to friends e.g. what you've been up to over lockdown
Having no free time
Having to plan ahead
Making reservations e.g. at restaurants
Having to get ready e.g. full face of make-up, styling hair etc.
Trying to fit in seeing friends and family
Balancing a social life with work life
Not having as much time to sleep
Less time to spend with your family

Tea Party group blames Mitch McConnell for same-sex marriage
The Senate Conservatives Fund is still trying to portray the hard-right GOP heavyweight as a crypto-liberal
By Elias Isquith
March 5, 2014 9:40PM (UTC)
Mitch McConnell in The Senate Conservatives Fund's "Mistake" radio ad (screen shot, The Senate Conservatives Fund)
In the wake of U.S. District Judge John G. Heyburn II's ruling that Kentucky's ban on recognizing same-sex unions from other states is unconstitutional, gay marriage has suddenly become a major issue in the conservative Bluegrass State.
It's happening on both sides of the aisle, too. On the Democratic side, Kentucky's Dem attorney general, Jack Conway, recently announced he would not personally represent the state in its appeal (outside counsel will instead). For Republicans, meanwhile, the issue has become most prominent through a radio ad from the Senate Conservatives Fund, a Tea Party group that's backing Sen. Mitch McConnell's primary opponent, businessman Matt Bevin.
In the ad, two assumedly regular Kentucky Republicans discuss Heyburn's ruling, describing the George H.W. Bush-appointed judge as "liberal" and blaming McConnell for recommending him way back in the early 1990s.
"Unbelievable! Liberal Judge John Heyburn just ruled that Kentucky has to immediately recognize same-sex marriages from other states," says an unnamed woman in the beginning of the ad.
"Is that the same judge who overturned the ban on partial-birth abortions?" asks a man in response.
"Who recommended this liberal judge?"
"Mitch McConnell."
After claiming that McConnell "praised" Heyburn for being "progressive," the woman explains McConnell's shocking support of the far-left Republican-appointed judge by alleging the Kentucky senator did it because of "cronyism."
"Heyburn donated money to McConnell," she says, "and served as a county chairman for his campaign."
The two then agree that McConnell should apologize for this ideological transgression and try to place it in a broader context of McConnell's secret liberalism.
"First it was funding Obamacare, then it was giving Obama a blank check to raise the debt ceiling, now it's liberal judges," the woman says. "I'm voting for conservative Matt Bevin instead."
For all its bluster, though, the McConnell campaign doesn't seem to be taking the ad particularly seriously. And considering a recent poll shows the incumbent fending off his Tea Party challenger by an amazing 42 points, why should they?
"This is the kind of ad voters expect to hear from people who are days away from boxing up their personal effects and auctioning off the remaining printer cartridges in the office," said Allison Moore, a spokesperson for the McConnell campaign.

Discussion in 'iOS Apps' started by Bear Hunter, Sep 5, 2008.
Data case has an update out. Too bad there are still issues with iTunes...can't download the update.
I was able to download the update fine. I'm hoping it'll fix the issue where some large files won't transfer. Other than that, pretty happy with this app, it has really come in handy often.
Good update. Finally reads iWork files. Haven't tested Keynote files yet, but the others seemed to work fine.
I didnt try this app, but I bought filemagnet and it reads everything really well and is super easy to use. I'm assuming this app allows one to do the same thing.
they have screenshots. Datacase was given an A- and the only negative that the review had was that it lacked iWork compatbility, which seems to be fixed now.
i think datacase is now a keeper.
I want to get this update by my iTunes still isn't giving me the option.
I hope that in a future update they add the ability to password protect volumes from the iPhone side.
Now can't open any of my files.
And the same ugly icon remains.
It works well for me. Only downside was losing all my files, which I then had to copy back across but hey, as this is fairly easy, who's bothered. Always good to get (free) updates.
haven't been able to get the update yet, but a quick question. In datacase, what's the difference between making a volume "browsable" as opposed to "readable?"
Browsable means that people can see what files are there, but not read the files.
You don't have to wait for iTunes. Just go find it in the App Store and 'buy' it again. You'll get a message that you've already purchased it and ask if you want to download it again for free. Do that, then sync your phone.
I have been using Folders for a while and even gave it a great review (five stars). However, thanks to you guys I decided to give Datacase a whirl, and WOW it is the S__T! I am THOROUGHLY impressed! The simplicity of drag and drop is incredible! Moved ALL of my Word files with no problem! This is a 10 STAR app! Hats off to the developers! I deleted the Folders app, and now I could care less if Documents to Go by Dataviz ever materializes! I will stick with Datacase, it is AWESOME!!!! Again, thanks for the input!
It's a very nice app, just be careful to keep backups of everything you put on it. Datacase tends to lose the files when you update it or update firmware.
I ran into some program crashing problems after the update and had to do a full restore, so now I'm trying Files.
If only I'd known that before updating. ARGH.

Lloyd Webber wins Phantom battle
Lord Lloyd Webber wrote the music and Tim Rice the words for many stage hits
A court in the United States has thrown out a lawsuit which alleged that British musical producer Lord Lloyd Webber had stolen the music from one of his most famous songs from a little-known American folk singer.
The BBC's Emma Jones: "Ex-wife Sarah Brightman testified he wrote the tune for her"
The court decided he had not copied Phantom of the Opera from Baltimore songwriter Ray Repp.
A federal jury, who had earlier heard snippets of the two songs played on the piano in court, took only two hours to clear Lord Lloyd Webber of plagiarism.
Lord Lloyd Webber, who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending the lawsuit, was not in court but he issued a statement saying he had been "totally vindicated" by the verdict.
'A great day for the jury system'
His lawyers said in a statement: "This is a great day for Andrew Lloyd Webber, and for the jury system and copyright cases.
Sir Tim Rice: "There are some barmy things out there"
"If justice had not prevailed here, there would have been a floodgate of unfounded contingency cases against successful composers and artists, hoping for lucrative settlements."
Mr Repp looked dejected as his eight-year fight for compensation ended in defeat.
Entertainment journalist Tim Levell: "It's quite difficult to prove one song is directly linked to another song"
He had claimed that the theme song from the hit musical Phantom of the Opera was based on a song he wrote in 1978 called Till You.
Mr Repp had told the court: "I have no doubt whatsoever that's my song."
Lord Lloyd-Webber, who began working on the song in 1983, denied he had ever heard of Mr Repp or his song.
Self-plagiarism
He said he had lifted the song for Phantom from his own composition, Close Any Door.
Lord Lloyd-Webber, who has had a string of hit musicals both in London's West End and on Broadway with Cats, Evita and Jesus Christ Superstar, said he wrote the song at his home in Hampshire.
He said his former wife, Sarah Brightman, helped compose it but he denied it was influenced in any way by Mr Repp's work.
Mr Repp, who had been seeking unspecified damages, has written dozens of religious songs and has 11 albums to his credit. But the court heard that he had only made $78 from sales of Till You.

Cardinal Gregory blesses parish cemetery marker honoring enslaved
By Mark Zimmermann
Catholic News Service Filed Under: Black Catholic Ministry, News, Racial Justice, World News
ST. INIGOES, Md. (CNS) — When Washington Cardinal Wilton D. Gregory blessed a parish cemetery's memorial plaque honoring the unknown enslaved people buried there, Nov. 26, he noted the poignancy of his participation in the service at St. Peter Claver Parish in St. Inigoes.
"I can't help but think that the many people buried here without a marker had to wait for an African American cardinal to bless that memorial honoring them," he said as dozens of people of different backgrounds and ages gathered around him to join in the prayer service held at the parish first established as a mission in the early 1900s for Black Catholics in that region who had experienced segregation at a nearby Catholic church.
The inscription on the bronze plaque reads: "Dedicated to the memory of those unknown who were enslaved and buried in the Archdiocese of Washington." The top of the plaque has an image of Christ crucified on the cross, and the bottom includes a quotation from Wisdom 3:1: "The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment shall touch them."

Cardinal Gregory, who became the first African American cardinal in 2020, read the prayers of blessing in an emotional voice as the people around him bowed their heads in prayer while standing on the grounds of the rural Southern Maryland parish.
"Brothers and sisters in Christ, a common Christian concern has brought us together to bless this memorial stone, which will mark the places in which the bodies of those who suffered the pain and injustice of slavery lie at rest, awaiting the dawn of the Lord's coming in glory … May this stone be a sign of comfort to the living descendants of those buried here and a sign of their hope for unending life for their ancestors," the cardinal prayed before sprinkling the marker with holy water.
After the service, he told the Catholic Standard, archdiocesan newspaper of Washington, that it was "terribly emotional to be able to stand here and bless these graves of former slaves. It put me in touch with my own roots."
He said he has discovered in the Washington Archdiocese, especially in Southern Maryland, "is that the faith that sustained these people was the same strength of faith that sustained the early Christians, because they were suffering. It's the same strength of faith that is present here that was present then."
Before the marker blessing, Cardinal Gregory celebrated a Mass at St. Peter Claver Church, named for the 17th century Spanish Jesuit priest known for his missionary work evangelizing thousands of enslaved Africans in South America.
In 2018, during a Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, Cardinal Donald W. Wuerl, then the archbishop of Washington, blessed the first commemorative bronze plaques honoring unknown enslaved men, women and children buried in cemeteries in the Archdiocese of Washington.
Cardinal Wuerl said then that the time had come "to right a wrong" and to remember and honor those people. That spring, those memorial plaques were placed in the archdiocese's five major cemeteries.
In 2017, Georgetown University held a prayer service to express public contrition over the Maryland Society of Jesus's 1838 sale of 272 enslaved women, children and men to benefit the university, which was then in financial difficulty.

The Jesuits at that time had enslaved workers at the religious order's plantations in Maryland who received sacraments as Catholics and kept that faith when some family members were separated after the sale and moved to plantations in Louisiana.
For generations, descendants of those families in Maryland and Louisiana have remained Catholic through periods of slavery, segregation and ongoing racism in society and the Church.
In an email to the Catholic Standard, Lilliam L. Machado, the president and CEO of the archdiocese's Catholic Cemeteries, said files indicate that in 2018, 24 parishes requested that memorial for their cemeteries.
Reflecting on the importance of those memorial markers, Machado added, "Many older parish cemeteries of the Archdiocese have formerly enslaved persons buried in them. The graves of these brothers and sisters in Christ are largely unmarked."
She also noted that memorial markers like the one at the Southern Maryland parish allow parishioners "to reflect on the contributions enslaved persons made to their community and nation despite their great suffering."
"Memorials are powerful reminders of the past," she said. "While they sometimes shine the light of Christ on the sins of mankind, that light always illuminates a path toward necessary dialogue and healing."
In his homily, Cardinal Gregory said: "There are literally thousands of people who rest unidentified in our cemeteries who were slaves and whose identity and names were considered inconsequential and unimportant to record. They may be nameless in local history, but not before God."
The congregation responded "Amen."
He also said they would "pray for those who today are held in the bondage of hatred and contempt for those who may be from another culture, race, religion, gender or sexual orientation. Those dreadful human sentiments are as binding and as confining as were the physical chains once used from an earlier era."
Cardinal Gregory stressed that the marker's blessing was also a time to pray for "freedom from any hatred that constricts the human heart and soul today, so that in time, we might all be free as God's children were always destined to be."
He said the people honored today "are nameless, but in God's kingdom, they have a name."
The congregation responded with a loud "Amen!" and applause.
After the blessing, some people lingered at the cemetery afterward, to stop and pray at the memorial marker and to walk among the graves there where their family members and longtime parishioners were buried.
Bill Merritt, a St. Peter Claver parishioner for 23 years and a Knight of St. Jerome, said the memorial marker was "much needed," and he appreciated the cardinal's message in his homily. "We have to put away the hatred and love each other," he said.
He showed a photo on his cell phone of the tombstone of his great-great-great grandmother named Narcissus, who lived from 1827-1887. He noted that through DNA testing, he found out about her, that she was enslaved and sold to a plantation in North Carolina, and had a daughter born into slavery.
Reflecting on the enslaved people honored that day, Merritt said: "They're the ancestors of this area."
"We need to keep remembering," he said, "because remembering keeps us faithful to where we should be. We have to have history to keep on the path God wants us on."

Twin vs. Single Bed Size: How Do They Compare?
Lots of people seem to be wondering about the difference between the single and the twin bed.
It's obvious that sizing is one of the most important consideration when choosing a mattress, so let's have a closer look and identify the difference between those two commonly mistaken types.
How Big is a Single?
How Big is a Twin?
Who Should Own a Single?
Who Should Own a Twin?
A single bed is 39 inches wide and 75 inches long. Its main designation is to fit one person. Obviously, this is where the name "single bed" stems from. These are comfortable and convenient for kid's rooms and are likely going to be suited for the kid until he hits high-school age as the 75 inches might not be enough at that point. It's one of the most preferred options when it comes to furnishing children's rooms.
The twin measurements are practically identical to the single. However, it is intended to be one of a pair of single beds. They are usually put in guest rooms which would be shared by more than just one person. They are also commonly chosen by couples who prefer to sleep together but not to share their bed as they don't feel comfortable.
It's also important to note that there are a few different variations of the twin size bed and the most popular one of them is the Twin XL.
There is just one difference between the regular Twin and the Twin XL. The latter comes with added 5 inches in length, making it suited for college kids and people who are slightly taller.
A single bed is usually placed in a kid's room. They are also quite perfect for hotels in rooms which are designed to sleep, three people. These are the so-called "triple" rooms and are very characteristic for low-budget hotels and motels as they are far more affordable and yet they don't compromise your sleeping comfort.
Additionally, single mattresses are preferred if you have a smaller guest room and can't afford to place a larger sized unit.
Twin beds are designed to go in matching pairs, as we already explained above. The most common application for them is the regular double room in a hotel. A lot of hotels use this instead of a common king-sized or regular two single in order to accommodate the versatile demand of clients who are single and those who are a couple.
Additionally, a twin mattress, as we mentioned above, are preferred for rooms which have to be shared by siblings, for example.
There is obviously no difference in the single and twin measurements, but the intention and purpose of both beds are completely different. This is something that you'd have to account for when you're making the call. Take the aforementioned into account in order to ensure that everything is handled perfectly.

On "Voices of Wall Street," Zillow Group President Jeremy Wacksman Discusses Q4 Earnings, Millennial Home-Shoppers, and SNL's Viral Zillow Sketch
February 18th, 2021 in Zillow Group news
On February 12, Zillow Group President Jeremy Wacksman was interviewed by Axios reporter Dion Rabouin on "Voices of Wall Street," a video-podcast aimed at millennial and younger audiences.
On the heels of Zillow's fourth-quarter and full-year earnings report, showing consolidated revenue grew 22% in calendar year 2020, Wacksman put the results in context of other moves the company made during the "roller-coaster" of a year.
"We were able to come out of the pandemic thriving while also moving the company to a cloud headquarters — to a distributed workforce," Wacksman said. "Most of our employees will only be in the office part-time or remote, and the offices and our location footprint will spread U.S.-wide. It'll give us an amazing opportunity to attract and retain talent..and grow Zillow Group."
Wacksman also spoke about the impact that millennials are having on the real estate market, and the digital shopping tools — and seamless experiences — they expect. Of course, Wacksman also offered his perspective on the recent Saturday Night Live sketch about Zillow-surfing.
"It really hits at this cultural moment that I think Zillow-surfing is having," Wacksman explained. "And I think the skit worked so well, and we laughed at it so much, because there's really a truth in it, that this is becoming our pastime more and more. We're seeing that in our traffic. We're seeing record traffic to our website…and in transactions at all-time highs."
Zillow reported 9.6 billion visits to mobile apps and websites over the course of 2020 — 1.5 billion more than in 2019.

The Temperature of Me and You (Paperback)
By Brian Zepka
(Young Adult)
Sixteen-year-old Dylan Highmark thought his winter was going to be full of boring shifts at the Dairy Queen, until he finds himself in love with a boy who's literally too hot to handle.
Dylan has always wanted a boyfriend, but the suburbs surrounding Philadelphia do not have a lot in the way of options. Then, in walks Jordan, a completely normal (and undeniably cute) boy who also happens to run at a cool 110 degrees Fahrenheit. When the boys start spending time together, Dylan begins feeling all kinds of ways, and when he spikes a fever for two weeks and is suddenly coughing flames, he thinks he might be suffering from something more than just a crush. Jordan forces Dylan to keep his symptoms a secret. But as the pressure mounts and Dylan becomes distant with his closest friends and family, he pushes Jordan for answers. Jordan's revelations of why he's like this, where he came from, and who's after him leaves Dylan realizing how much first love is truly out of this world. But if the attraction between them defies the laws of physics, love may be the only thing that can keep Jordan and Dylan together.
THE TEMPERATURE OF ME AND YOU is the story of first love, and the lengths we'll go to figure out our hearts. What starts as an electric, chance encounter at a Dairy Queen quickly evolves into a heated romance, a journey of trust and identity, and a ticking clock for survival.
Brian Zepka was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia. Brian worked with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Virginia where he provided support for programs addressing community health literacy and adolescent sexual health. He currently lives in Philadelphia and is a program evaluator for a nonprofit organization focused on chronic disease prevention. The Temperature of Me and You is his first novel.

Pelee Island and the Western Lake Erie Island archipelago supports globally significant biodiversity and important ecological functions. They are a mosaic of aquatic and terrestrial resources, crossing the boundary of Ohio and Ontario. Globally rare shoreline, alvar, forest communities and species occur on most of the islands. The islands and coastal areas provide critical stopover habitat for migratory land and water birds, and breeding sites for colonial nesting waterbirds. The waters of the region are shallow, warm, relatively clear and high in nutrients, making this the most productive aquatic habitat in the Great Lakes. The reefs and coasts provide spawning and nursery habitat for walleye and other native fish.
The Canadian Islands provide some of the most biologically diverse natural habitats in the country and have one of the highest densities of species at risk. The Ontario Natural Heritage Information Centre currently tracks over 150 species on the islands, 11 of which are globally rare. This extraordinary number of species at risk requires ecosystem-based approaches to conservation and parallel community oriented approaches to education and stewardship programs. Just as managing the landscape as a whole is essential for effective and efficient protection of these species, the education of the whole person is crucial to all stewardship efforts, and to the survival of humankind and wildlife.
