All Eyes On Joaquin
With the release of his highly anticipated new film, Her, just around the corner we thought we'd take a moment to remind ourselves of Joaquin Phoenix's finest moments. Let's take it from the top.
1. Parenthood Following the cue of his older brother River, Joaquin kicked off his film career as a brooding teen in Parenthood alongside Steve Martin, Keanu Reeves and Dianne Wiest. Even at the tender age of 15 he demonstrates his now famous scene stealing quality.
2. Gladiator Chilling to the core, is there anyone out there who could have played the twisted Roman Emperor Commodus opposite the sweet blue-eyed Russell Crowe better? The industry certainly stood up and paid attention and the award nominations flooded in.
3. Walk the Line We already knew that he could do troubled and brooding standing on his head, but my oh my the man can sing.
4. I'm Still Here This shout out is far less about the film and more about the all-encompassing transformation Joaquin undertook for this role/farce. Announcing his departure from the film industry for the world of rap, this is Joaquin at his off-beat, fuzziest best and as confused as we were at the time, we love him for it.
5. The Master
Back on form and teaming up with the unfathomably good Philip Seymour Hoffman, this film had no choice but to be a glorious and thought-provoking triumph.
PS. Lest we forget
Liv and Joaquin forever.
Her is in cinemas on 14th February.

Even though South has no recent success to draw from, coach Chelsea Breen noticed this group made their own confidence. They believed in themselves when the perception was South didn't have the program to have a winning season.
The players have an edge, Breen says, and it's that change in attitude that has allowed South to secure its first winning season in Breen's five-year run.
After South beat Northwest, a team it lost to 4-1 during City League play, the players didn't view it as an upset. They celebrated, sure, but they believed they were capable.
South has thrived with a balanced scoring attack this season: Maria Stephens (10 goals, 7 assists), Samantha Vaughn (10 goals, 5 assists), Kaitlyn Morrison (11 goals, 3 assists), Melonie Baca (7 goals, 10 assists), and Beaver (7 goals, 5 assists). All are underclassmen.
North finds the right mix – It's taken a lot of moving parts and a lot of tinkering on Curt Wullschleger's part, but North has found the right lineup to make it a threat in the Class 6A playoffs.
The Redskins (11-6) won 3-2 in overtime against East on Tuesday and will play at Derby (14-3) on Thursday for a regional championship.
Dora Gallo (22 goals, 17 assists), Danisha Brown (11 goals) and Salma Martinez (4 goals) have been mainstays for North, and the additions of Nayeli Gallo (27 goals, 11 assists), Irai Fernandez (14 goals, 16 assists), and Michelle Ramstack (5 goals) have been crucial.
North has piled up the goals (85 on the season) and the wins (11, the most since 2012) to become one of the top offenses in 6A.
North has allowed at least three goals in five of its six losses.
To win a regional championship, especially against a battle-tested team like Derby, North will have to bring its best on defense.
South (9-7-1) at Washburn Rural (15-2), 6 p.m.
Notes – After the program's second playoff victory ever, Augusta finds itself back in the regional championship for the first time since 2007. The Orioles lost at McPherson 7-0 on Apr. 21. Augusta is led by senior striker Clarice Dalziel, who has 17 goals.
Going on the road for a regional championship game is a foreign concept for Carroll, which has been to the state semifinals four straight seasons. A defense that has come through with 11 shutouts will be tested by the explosive attack of Newton, as the Eagles are 2-4 this season when they have allowed a goal.
For the first time in program history, Circle will host a regional championship. The Thunderbirds have set a program record for wins (10) under coach Kasey Brown and won just their second playoff game in a shootout victory over Independent.
It has been a record-setting season for Eisenhower, which has the program's most wins (15), most goals (73), best defense (7 goals allowed), and the single-season scoring leader (Tera Lynch at 24). Thursday will be the first time Eisenhower has hosted a regional championship.
In Jessica Jackson's first season, Goddard has won 11 games and returned to the regional championship. The Lions have registered a shutout in 11 of their 17 games with the renewed commitment to the defensive end.
Outright City League champion for first time since 2013, Kapaun brings a 9-game winning streak into the playoffs. Since first-year coach Anthony Cantele reconfigured the defensive alignment that sparked the winning streak, the Crusaders have shut out seven of their nine opponents.
No team from the South Central region has beaten Maize in the playoffs since 2004. The Eagles have won their last 11 regional championship games, then gone on to the state semifinals each time.
All six losses for Maize South were by one goal, including a 2-1 loss to Eisenhower on Apr. 28. The Mavericks have won two regional championships and made the state semifinals for the first time last season.
For the first time in over a decade, Newton will be hosting a regional championship. The Railers have lost in this game the last two years, both by 2-1 scorelines and both times allowing both goals in the opening 10 minutes. Newton is led by junior midfielder Brookelynn Entz, who has 33 goals in 16 games this season.
Trinity is searching for its seventh straight regional championship after playing mostly Class 6A and 5A teams this season. The Knights are led by the dynamic duo of Ally Henderson (26 goals, 13 assists) and Maycee Bell (22 goals, 8 assists in 10 games).
Since allowing three goals in the first game and only loss this season, Valley Center has earned 15 straight results thanks to 15 straight shutouts. The Hornets haven't won a regional title since 2013 when it played for the Class 5A championship.

More Reasons Not To Trust The Media
Adam Casalino, March 25, 2017 10:32AM
I really hate the mainstream media. I think that's easy to decipher from just a cursory glance at the kind of content I write on TrigTent.
But don't think that my obvious bias against the liberal media doesn't have justification. I like to consider myself a rational, open-minded person. We all have our blind spots, of course, but when it comes to dealing with the media, you quickly realize something's not right. When approached with an open mind, you soon learn you're dealing with a cesspool.
No matter your personal views, when discussing the media, you quickly discover that the major news outlets in America (and many around the world) are not working for your best interests. Anyone with basic common sense can point out the times the predominately liberal media twists facts, distorts reality, or deliberately omits information, simply to promote a certain narrative.
What is that narrative? Well, it changes from time to time, doesn't it? It's not simply to push liberal dogma onto society; sure, that's a part of it. But you have to realize that not all media covers politics. News outlets like CNN, New York Times, Fox News (yep, I hate them too), and online sites like the Huffington Post are pieces of larger corporations. These corporations have their own agendas.
Often reporters will spin stories that protect their parent companies' best interests. That means honest reporting is way low on the priority totem pole.
Plus in today's media landscape, they are rapidly losing ground to emergent sources of news and entertainment. More and more young people (i.e.: the future) are learning about the world through YouTube or the podcaster of their choice. They don't need New York Times to tell them what to think.
This has led to "respectable" institutions lashing out at the least likely people, in pathetic attempts to discredit them.
That video defending Pew Die Pie after the mainstream media attacked him and called him a racist was made by another YouTuber coming to his defense. Another new influencer who is usurping the traditional media's role in reporting and commenting on current events and culture.
But aside from blatantly attacking people they view as a threat, the mainstream media- for a long time- has thrived on manipulation. Spend a few minutes watching cable news. Then check your pulse rate. It went up, didn't it? News outlets are designed to generate hysteria and fear. They play on your anxiety and worry in order to capture your attention. A while ago I wrote about how negative emotions often elicit a stronger response than positive ones. The media has known this for a long time and abuses it on the regular.
The same goes for online news websites. Even ones I visit regularly- ones that I feel are more honest than the big outlets- violate basic rules of honesty and decency. I often find myself scrolling past headline after headline crafted to generate anger or fear from me. I just want to read the news, you guys! I didn't come here for a heart attack!
But there's just not enough bad news happening every day to justify that kind of hysteria. Sure this week has been pretty bad; over 40 people were injured (and some killed) in a terrorist attack in London. That warrants serious reporting and discussion.
Yet the ongoing state of hysteria from media outlets makes real crisis seem less important, because they're always freaking out.
This is a tactic to keep you glued to your screen. It also generates a sense of vulnerability, so you're more receptive to their brain-washing- I mean, clever suggestions in regards to the facts.
It seems like CNN is the worst aggressor when it comes to distorting facts to promote an agenda. And it's not always a liberal versus conservative thing. Often they slander people they view as rivals or threats to their company's success- even if they're on the same ideological side. Just take that whole dust-up with Alec Baldwin a few years back.
Photographers ambushed the 55-year-old actor outside his New York City home on Thursday, Nov. 14. Outraged, the outspoken star then allegedly called one paparazzo a "c--ksucking f-g." Baldwin denied using the epithet on Twitter and insisted that he actually uttered the word "fathead" instead...
[Anderson] Cooper went after Baldwin once more on Friday, Nov. 15. "Wow, Alec Baldwin shows his true colors yet again. How is he going to lie and excuse his anti-gay slurs this time?" the openly gay star asked. (via Eonline)
Now why would Anderson Cooper make such a big deal about Alec's words, uttered in a moment of anger? Alec Baldwin himself was a celebrated liberal and outspoken in his support for gay rights. Could it have been that- at the time- Baldwin was hosting his own show on MSNBC, opposite Cooper's program on CNN?
Mind you, gay people are being murdered around the world for their orientation, and Baldwin has given to gay charities. You'd think that Cooper and the rest of the gay community would show a little consideration for the man in light of the real crimes.
But no, Cooper made it a mini-crusade to destroy a fellow liberal, who happened to be on a rival network.
Keep in mind, I'm not a fan of either one of these people. Both hold to beliefs that do not reflect my own. But you can't help but feel indignant over how Cooper misrepresented the situation, in a clear attempt at protecting his ratings. Oh, and by the way, Alec lost his show after the incident.
Here's something a little more recent.
Fox News contributor Juan Williams has come out swinging at CNN over the network's false claim that Fox host Sean Hannity pulled a gun on him in malice following an argument...
"Last year, after ending one of his many spirited on-air arguments with liberal contributor Juan Williams, Hannity pulled out a gun and pointed it directly at Williams, according to three sources with knowledge of the incident." (via Milo)
Wow, scary sounding stuff. If you are one of the empty-head people who watch CNN, you were made to believe that the conservative Hannity got into such a heated debate with the liberal Williams, that the gun-loving man pulled out a firearm to threaten him! That's what gun-nuts do after all- they shoot before they think. More proof we need stricter gun control laws! More proof that Fox News is full of reprobates!
What really happened? Sean Hannity and Juan Williams were discussing firearms, and Sean took out his unloaded gun to simply show it to Juan. Much like if you were discussing something about your smartphone and you took it out to show your friend.
Hannity himself explained: "while discussing the issue of firearms, I showed my good friend Juan Williams my unloaded firearm in a professional and safe manner."
CNN willfully distorted the situation by making it seem like Hannity was threatening his friend and colleague. How could anyone justify such dishonest and irresponsible reporting?
This is even more obvious in regards to their treatment of President Trump. Okay, maybe you don't like Trump. Maybe you voted for Hillary, or if you live in another country, thought Bernie was a better choice. But that opinion better be based on actual facts- like your disagreement over Trump's policies based on what he's said or planned- not on the dubious reporting from the mainstream media.
Do you really think they are being honest about Trump? It doesn't take much effort to spin a story a certain way. Just look at how liberal media outlets like Politico treated the resignation of U.S. attorneys. In every administration, there is legitimate turnover. The President or the A.G. asks for standing staff to step down. When Obama did it, he simply "replaced" those attorneys. When Trump does it, he "ousts" hard-working, dedicated public servants.
I mean, really? It's the same damn thing. Yet the bias of the media requires that they cast everything Obama did in a positive light and everything Trump does in a negative one. Even if you're a Democrat, you have to see through this nonsense.
Unless you're a Democrat because you've been reading this nonsense. Then maybe you should wake up.
Then, of course, there is my favorite fake news story of the last few weeks: Is Donald Trump afraid of stairs?
CNN aired a segment debating whether or not President Donald Trump is afraid of stairs.
It ran during yesterday's episode of 'New Day' with Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota.
CNN's national correspondent Jeanne Moos – who The Hill states has been with the network for 34 years – voiced the piece...
Moos goes on to cite this BBC article which insists Trump is "scared of stairs."
She also cites numerous British tabloids who diagnosed Trump with "bathmophobia" – a supposed fear of stairs and ramps that isn't even a term used in the Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders.
Moos continues:
"Ever since hearing about the phobia rumor, I've become slightly obsessed with watching President Trump watch his step." (via Milo)
Uh, what? She even admits she's obsessed with the President. I find that particularly hilarious. Even the most enthusiastic Trump supporter isn't obsessed with the man. I mean, he's a nice guy and all, but I have my dignity to think about. Only the foaming-at-the-mouth liberal reporters seem to be far too attached to President Trump, if only to find something to attack.
But seriously, afraid of stairs? This reporter has been in the biz for over 30 years; you'd think she'd be working on much more important issues, like the deplorable conditions of women in Indonesia. Or the over 200 tunnels drug cartels are using to smuggle drugs into the United States from Mexico.
Instead, she is trying to decide if the President of the United States, a man in his 70's, is afraid of steps.
Then, of course, there was the manufactured outrage over Meals on Wheels. When Trump announced his badly needed budget cuts to reduce America's horrible debt and bring the federal government in check, liberals panicked that he was going to deprive thousands of elderly folks of their meals. What a heartless bastard! What a monster! You see? We were right about all our wild, unfounded claims about the man!
Except that Meals on Wheels isn't primarily funded by the government. In fact, only about 3% of its money comes from grants provided to states from D.C. Oh.
I could go on. I actually have many more examples of how the mainstream, liberal media is deliberately lying to you. But I think I made my case clear, for now.
What's the solution? If you're thoroughly convinced (either by me or otherwise) that the media's being dishonest, there are a few things you can do. First, stop supporting blogs, websites, or networks that are pushing this garbage. Even your clicks give them money. Second, support outlets that are actually talking about things in a factual and honest way.
If enough of us do that, then maybe things will change.
P.S.: don' t think this is the last time I rail against the dishonest media. More is to come. Promise.


A quake with a magnitude of seven has hit Peru, killing at least one person.
The earthquake was centred about 85km (53 miles) north-east of the jungle city of Moyobamba and caused damage throughout much of the region.
The earthquake also caused power cuts and disrupted telephone services in the area. Eyewitness reports said several houses had collapsed.
It is the strongest quake to hit Peru since June 2001, when an 8.1-magnitude tremor killed 75 people in Arequipa.
The quake shook Peru's northern region at 2055 on Sunday local time (0155 GMT Monday).
Initial reports put the death toll at four - but officials later said they could only confirm one death, in the town of Lamas.
At least nine people are reported to have been injured.
The earthquake was also felt in parts of Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil.


Until now, late night food and drink on the eastern edge of Williamsburg usually meant beer and a slice of pizza. However, with the opening of Huckleberry Bar on Grand Avenue at Lorimer Street, all of that has changed.
The cozy, modern space opened in October, and is helmed by Stephanie Schneider and Andy Boggs, two neighborhood residents and long-time fine-dining experts. Schneider and Boggs met while working at Blue Smoke, Danny Meyer's tony Manhattan barbecue joint, but have decided to put their talents to use a little closer to home.
And what an experience it is. Alongside a sturdy wine list and plenty of beer, Huckleberry Bar offers a wide array of fancy, seasonal cocktails — hot buttered rum made with house-infused vanilla and allspice rum for $8 — and high-end sandwiches prepared by another white tablecloth ex-patriot, chef Seth Johnson. GO Brooklyn likes a drink now and again ('though mostly now), but even we would stop by for Johnson's tasty treats, like the prosciutto with aged gouda and apple butter sandwich, which goes for a reasonable $8.
With a strong emphasis on hospitality, a chic atmosphere and nightly DJs keeping the bar crowded, Huckleberry Bar seems to be on its way to becoming a neighborhood favorite.
Huckleberry Bar (588 Grand St. at Lorimer Street in Williamsburg) is open daily from 4 pm to 4 am. For information, call (718) 218-8555 or visit www.huckleberrybar.com.

MeetDaniel Lui
Daniel Lui moved to Vancouver, Canada from Hong Kong in 1997. He has made the subject of Chinese tea an intensive study since he was as a teenager, an interest first introduced to him by his father Ken Lui, also a great lover of Chinese tea. Daniel was always interested to discuss the finer points of tea and Chinese culture with friends at social gatherings and at local markets . Over the years as his knowledge and reputation in the community grew, many people encouraged him to start his own authentic Chinese teashop.
After graduating from college in Business Administration, Daniel started selling tea in 2001 and then opened Arts de Chine (Arts of China) in 2004 at 101 East Pender Street in the Chinatown district of Vancouver. It didn't take long for the customers to come. The name was changed in the summer of 2009 to The Chinese Teashop and the store layout changed to make more room and better reflect the store's focus.
TeashopThe Chinese Tea Shop
Today, The Chinese Teashop is as much a gathering place for tea lovers as it is a place to find great tea. On any day, you can find people from anywhere in the world talking together or sitting at Daniel's tea desk trying the latest teas and discussing tea and Chinese antiques.
A patient listener and teacher, Daniel insists on the highest quality in everything from instruction to tea products, good prices and telling people what they are getting for their money. Every year, Daniel travels to China at spring harvest to meet his contacts and sample the new teas in person. Some of these relationships have endured for many years and as tea experts know, are essential to procuring the best tea. Not surprisingly, Daniel provides tea and teaware products to teashops and restaurants around the world.
If you have experience with tea, you know how important all these things really are. Daniel has applied the same principles that have made The Chinese Teashop such a success to our website and hopes in some small way to contribute to your experience with tea as a long lasting and enjoyable one.

JK Bank premier financial institution of the state, instrumental in promoting growth, says Guv Malik
Jammu: Governor Satya Pal Malik on Monday unveiled the JK Bank Wall Calendar and Diary-2019 at Raj Bhawan in presence of K. K. Sharma. Advisor to Governor, Parvez Ahmed, Chairman & CEO, J&K Bank; Umang Narula, Principal Secretary to Governor; Navin Kumar Choudhary, Principal Secretary Finance; and senior management of the Bank.
The Calendar is based on the theme "Pushing the Limits" and showcases the Adventure Tourism potential across the three regions of Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh.
Speaking during the launch, Governor Satya Pal Malik observed, "J&K Bank is the premier financial institution of the State and has always been instrumental in promoting the economic growth of Jammu and Kashmir. It is an epitome of success and for that I commend the leadership of Parvez Ahmed and his team in taking innovative measures not only in management of the Bank but also through various CSR interventions, especially in promoting sports which I believe can be a game changer in positively energizing the youth in the State".
Quoting the example of a football club supported by the Bank recently, the Governor said, "The club has, in a very short span of time, reached amongst the top rankings and has become a passion for the youth in Kashmir. I request the Bank to keep on nurturing such initiatives in future too."
After being apprised by the Chairman JK Bank about the recognition received by the Bank's Easy Payment Unit project in Leh, the Governor appreciated the dedicated staff of the Bank who worked under challenging circumstances to provide indispensable banking facilities in the far flung areas of the State. "The Bank", he added, "is doing a good job and full support from the State administration is assured to the Bank. It is my advise that the Bank should focus on rural/agrarian customers and new entrepreneurs to start a cycle of development and prosperity in the State."
Chairman and CEO, JK Bank Parvez Ahmed while conveying thanks to Governor and State Administration said, "Our calendar finds a place in each of the 25 lac households across every nook and corner of the State and keeping in view its social relevance and impact, we requested the Governor to launch it. It has been our consistent endeavor to utilize the calendar as a powerful medium to convey a relevant message through every leaf of the thematic calendar."
"We are optimistic and confident that post launch, the calendar will not only inspire & engage the youth of the State in adventure sports but will also act as an ambassador to promote adventure tourism in the State and become a harbinger of tourism growth in the niche segments" added Parvez Ahmed.
On the occasion, 50 delivery channels of the bank comprising of 26 banking outlets and 24 ATMs/ Recyclers spread across the State were also inaugurated by the Governor in order to improve the outreach of banking services in the State and to serve the people better in far flung areas.

I recently heard a teacher describe the change in education over the past decade as this: a shift in focus from teaching (the delivery of content and curriculum) to learning (what students actually know and can do).
This is incredibly challenging work. Creating a strong learning culture with student-centered classrooms takes intentionality, vulnerability, and unceasing dedication. And it requires more than just individual effort; it depends on resources and central office support. So what does that support look like, particularly in a more traditional public school district?
Creating a strong learning culture with student-centered classrooms takes intentionality, vulnerability, and unceasing dedication.
Renton School District is working hard to answer that question. Renton is an urban and suburban district just south of Seattle, serving nearly 16,000 students, 73% of color and 52% on free or reduced lunch. Informed by evaluation and focused on district goals, this year the district committed to adding nearly 3,000 more devices for students. The increase in resources is designed to allow students more consistent, reliable access to information, as well as to help teachers better differentiate and personalize student learning.
When it came to supporting schools with this new technology, the central office's main goal was to provide structures that allowed for optimal growth, much like an adjustable trellis. The tomato plant can grow without it, but will grow faster when that support is put in place early and adjusted based on how things are progressing. With this strong vision and an increase in resources, the Digital Learning department at Renton set out to design models of implementation that would allow each school to best support teachers with the new devices.
As Director of Digital Learning for Renton, I met with each school's instructional leadership team before the devices arrived. The goal of these initial meetings was to identify strengths and entry points, focus on student learning, elevate student voice, and create shared ownership in order to develop plans. By understanding the bigger picture and the connection of these resources to academic goals, teams were more invested in the plans and solutions we developed. We discussed the strengths and mission of each school and talked through how change happens at their school.
Because every school's ecosystem is different, schools ultimately made different decisions about how they wanted to leverage the new devices to support student learning. After facilitating about a dozen meetings, the following models emerged. The models take into consideration both the physical implementation of devices, as well as how to best support teachers with the instructional shift that comes with moving towards a blended model.
Model How Will Devices Be Distributed? What Will Support Look Like? Why Will It Work?
Model A: For schools using Model A, the idea is to prioritize and leverage human capital at the building level. In this model, individual teachers are taking on the role of lead-learner, tapping into the support of a Digital Learning Coach, and then influencing their school to expand their experience with digital learning. Because principals' at these sites operate through a shared leadership model and know the strengths of their staff, they are able to push the learning of teachers further.
This model also allows for slower learning by teachers who are less interested or less ready to increase their use of technology. This model supports learning over time, as modeled by experts in their own building.
Model B: Model B acknowledges that nearly all planning happens in PLCs, which meet weekly to plan and examine student data. Realizing that this is the strongest agent of change in a building, teams choose to have PLCs receive resources and then co-create plans which would be tailored to the grade level and content area(s) they teach. By developing plans in a PLC, they were leveraging their established team strengths and purpose, and were not only depending on each to build expertise but also to hold each other accountable.
To launch this work, some schools hosted an introductory, whole staff session around digital learning. PLCs can then be supported by Digital Learning Coaches, who can plan with teams and co-teach lessons. This model aims to integrate device-based personalized learning into an existing structure in order to minimize feelings of discomfort around a new model.
Model C: Model C is preferred by many of our secondary schools, where physical building layouts and complicated scheduling calendars can create inequitable access to devices. Those limitations prompted schools to create a new model which would allow regular, consistent access in all classrooms. Because of this approach, principals have determined that work needs to be done with the whole-staff. Staff have engaged in digital learning sessions and then created individual next steps to expand the way they are empowering students to have greater agency over their learning. Part of the power of this model is in creating a shared vision as a whole school and being intentional in using technology to enhance student learning.
While some pieces of the three models differ, they all employ strategies which capitalize on the strengths of the school and consider learning progressions for staff. In addition, these models inform the central office about approaches that can be standardized and those that must remain flexible. Like a student-centered classroom, this support is reciprocal, responsive, and powerful. It empowers learners--both teachers and students--and inspires them to grow.

missing attributes in API ?
I'm playing with the API to have multiple ports configured.
I've checked https://dashboard.meraki.com/api_docs#update-a-switch-port but no options.
Am i missing something or is the API missing these fields ?
Re: missing attributes in API ?
Are you talking about switch ports?
I mean the MAC whitelist, Sticky e.t..c.
If you GET a switch/port that does have a MAC white-list or sticky configure, does it show that in the results?
Otherwise you probably won't be able to do it via API (yet).
Indeed, we have to wait i guess ? Or can we request some functionality somewhere ?
You can make a wish threw your dashboard.

This works on every browser apart from Firefox *, Safari and IE will just call the function with the argument but Chrome and Opera add uncaught to the argument. This is no big deal though since we can just modify it slightly and use a different object as an argument such as a string.
* Does actually work in Firefox. My site was disabling the error handling.
The default scope is actually "undefined" if you are running under the Strict Mode. Otherwise, it's "window", as you mentioned.
use strict changes the "this" value to undefined but the scoping still counts.
I don't think this technique will work on strict mode but I haven't checked extensively.
Yes you can use regular anchor links on some browsers, simply setting the current window name will be inherited x-domain if not fixed yet.
Great use of the throw! and i <3 your blog, keep it up!
maybe you have a list of bypassed WAF (default rules)?
One problem, this isn't a real exploit. Its just a PoC, its completely and totally useless to an attacker.
What on earth are you talking about? As I said I used it to bypass a filter so it wasn't totally useless. It is also called imagination, you really don't get it do you?
I don't post this stuff to create cookie stealing worms, I post the technique. The point of creation of the technique is all I care about. The challenge of creating something new that others didn't find is what I enjoy.
By "scope" I was referring to the value of `this`. Maybe I used improper terminology. Sure, still in case of "use strict", you may access variables of outer scopes (eventually leading to `window`).

We exist to make the lives of landlords and tenants easier through digital innovation.
Landlord Studio started out life in 2016 as the brain child of our leader Charles. He was shopping around for a good software to manage his own properties and was disappointed with what was on offer. He needed something mobile, something that would enable him to manage his portfolio on the go, wherever he was in the world.
The easiest solution was obviously to go away and make his own software. To that end he started developing a mobile app. Something that would do what he wanted without the limitations of the software currently on the market.
Though we have no confirmation of this, the team imagines his development process as one of wild fury. A flurry of late nights as he maniacally peered over his laptop screen in a dark room, tapping out rows upon rows of the multi-coloured code that would one day become Landlord Studio.
Finally, exhausted by his efforts the first version of the App (Property Buddy) was completed and he uploaded it to the app store.
It was to his great surprise when people started downloading it, and then an even greater surprise when they started asking him for tech support and new features.
Fast forward three years and we have a team based in New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Property Buddy has become Landlord Studio, and there's a whole lot more to come.

Q: Remote SSH disabled after each reboot - Sharing I have a desktop installation of Ubuntu 20.04 with X11. I have installed SSHD, and enabled Remote Login in the Sharing page of Settings in the Desktop.

Then it works to SSH into the machine from a remote computer.
But the problem is that after each reboot the "Remote Login" setting is turned off. This happens every time I reboot. So I have to log in locally to again to the desktop and enable Remote Login, after that it works until next reboot.
Any tips on how to solve this would be great

Maryland SPCA in the Community
Continuing our commitment to animals since 1869, the Maryland SPCA is working toward a future of compassion and care for all of Maryland's cats and dogs.
Baltimore animals do not have access to proper care
Pet families benefited from the 2018 community partners program
Home / About Us / Our Community
Piloted in 2018, the Maryland SPCA's community partners program works in under-resourced neighborhoods to keep owned cats and dogs healthy, in homes, and out of the shelter.
Our partners include Charm City Companions and B-More Dog, grassroots NGOs serving Baltimore City. We help them expand their reach by bringing additional resources and services directly to pets and owners who live in "vet deserts."
The Maryland SPCA joins our partners as they go door to door and host pop-up neighborhood clinics. We add to their efforts with free spay/neuter surgeries, free exams and vaccines, and donated pet supplies. Hundreds of pets and their families benefit from this program every year.
Baltimore City is considered a "Vet Desert".
22 percent of residences live below the poverty line. As many as 35,000 households owning up to 63,000 cats and dogs are living in neighborhoods without access to proper veterinary care for their pets.
Help us save these pets.
Baltimore Animal Welfare Alliance (BAWA)
The Maryland SPCA is proud to be a founding member of the BAWA alliance. Formed in 2008, the alliance includes Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter (BARCS), Baltimore City Animal Control, Baltimore County Animal Services, and Baltimore Humane Society. Together, we collaborate to save more animals' lives in the greater Baltimore region. Partners meet bi-monthly and work together on programs, including shelter transports, case management, spay/neuter, and special adoption events like the Maryland 2000 (a state-wide cat adoption event held in July).
Mayor's Anti-Animal Abuse Advisory Commission
Established in 2010, the commission works to eradicate animal abuse in Baltimore City by increasing awareness of animal cruelty laws; promoting legislation to protect animals and prosecute abusers; training law enforcement officials to handle animal cruelty cases humanely and collect evidence of abuse; improving responses to incidents of animal cruelty; and improving training for animal control officers. The commission is chaired by Katie Flory, Maryland SPCA's community relations director.
Professional Animal Workers of Maryland (PAWS)
The Maryland SPCA is an active member of PAWS, an association of animal control organizations and animal shelters across Maryland. The association promotes positive animal welfare legislation to the Maryland General Assembly during its annual sessions. PAWS members also share best practices in the fields of animal control and animal sheltering.

Police brutality is the use of excessive and/or unnecessary force by police when dealing with civilians. "Excessive use of force" means a force well beyond what would be necessary in order to handle a situation.
Hi my name is Marc Joseph, I wrote a letter earlier on sex trafficking, But now i'm going to talk about Police brutality. This is a big topic, police officers are treating African Americans unfairly and that must stop. Many unarmed African Americans have been shot even tho they put there hands up. While on the other hand they treat the whites with care, for example the dude that went to school and started shooting and then handled with care to the police car. That isn't fair to African Americans because they get brutalized for things like stealing which is better then killing people. That's not right the person who killed multiple people have been handled with care and the one who stole got brutalized. And I believe that this must stop no more racism towards African Americans. I understand it that not all police officers who do that but the one who does must be fired or fine thousands of dollars so they wouldn't act like that anymore. I think that this would stop the Black Lives Matter movement. The reason that its still on is because there isn't severe consequences, now if there is then there wouldn't be much protests as usual. So i would like you Mr or Mrs president to create a new type a law so that these issues would not be addressed again.
Sincerely, Marc Robson Joseph From Community Academy of Science and Health

Painting your home's exterior takes a bit more than just a brush and some paint.
Be sure to prep your tools and materials, including cleaning supplies, a ladder and paint supplies.
You'll need to clean and smooth the surface of your home's exterior, sanding away imperfections and filling in holes and cracks.
Tape off windows and doors before painting on a coat of quality primer.
When you're ready to paint, be sure it's not too humid or windy, as this can affect the quality of the finished product.
Start at the top of the wall and work your way down. Then seal it up with a coat of satin finish.
Painting a home's exterior is a big, yet simple project for DIY homeowners to complete. It's great for bringing life back to your home and is necessary in the case of cracking, peeling or blistering paint—as this condition will only worsen in time. Fresh paint also helps to improve value when (and if) it's time to sell, so use these tips to make sure your paint job goes as smoothly as possible!
Painting your home's exterior takes a bit more than just a brush and some paint. Read up on tips for picking the perfect paint for your home and visit your local Doug Ashy store to pick it up. With the right preparation, your home will come out looking like it was painted by a pro! Make sure you have these tools ready before continuing with the painting process.
Although a paint sprayer isn't absolutely necessary, it can significantly speed up the time it takes to complete the project. However, make sure to practice with the sprayer before proceeding to paint your house, as these tools take some time to master. You can rent one of these from your local Doug Ashy store, and get tips from our staff on how to get the best results.
Every successful home project starts with a bit of preparation. After you've gathered the necessary tools and materials, here's what's next.
Smooth the Exterior—Paint holds best to clean surfaces free of debris and obstructions. Remove old, peeling paint with a pressure washer, wire brush or putty knife and remove obstructions like old nails or screws, or hardened paint drips.
Clean the Surface—The quickest way to clean surfaces is to pressure wash them with an herbicide, bleach, or detergent to remove algae, mildew and grime. However, always remember to rinse afterward. Clean from top to bottom without letting the pressure build too high, as it could damage weak or brittle surfaces. Always be sure the surface is dry before proceeding.
Patch & Repair Damages—Repair any loose, damaged or rotted material before painting. It's important to fill in cracks, seams and holes with caulk, then smooth it out with a putty knife or wet sponge. Use mortar or a masonry caulk in the case of stucco, brick, cement, or stonework. This helps give the exterior a smooth and uniform look. Allow the patches to dry completely before painting.
Make Sure to Prime—Priming with a quality sealer helps achieve the best results with your paint job. Adding a layer of primer allows for a surface ideal for the paint to adhere to, allowing new paint to bond exceptionally well.
Here are a few key tips to that you should keep in mind when painting the exterior of your home.
Mind the Weather—Try to paint in the shade, especially in warm climates. Bright sunlight can dry paint too fast and leave brush marks, overlap marks, faded color or a thin-looking coat. Windy days present a similar problem, as excessive wind can cause the paint to dry poorly and blow debris onto wet paint. Although latex paint breathes well, avoid painting if humidity is very high as this can lead to blistering.
Begin at the Top—Paint from the highest point down. Observe ladder safety. Anchor it securely and don't reach too far to either side.
Be Sure to Get Under the Siding—Paint under the bottom edge of each lap first. Then cover the horizontal space.
Seal— It's typically a good idea to add a final coat with a satin finish, as this helps seal the paint and reflect sunlight away for a longer-lasting paint job.
Clean Up—Once you're finished, all that's left is the clean-up. Make sure paint cans and cleaning agents are sealed tightly before storage.
Still have paint-related questions? We've got you covered. Visit any of our locations and have our team of dedicated experts guide you to finding the perfect solution for your home!

15-Year-Old Critical Missing NR11237cj
Los Angeles: The family of Jennifer Rodriguez and the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) are asking for the public's assistance in locating her.
Jennifer Rodriguez was last seen in the area of Sepulveda Boulevard and San Fernando Mission Boulevard on Wednesday May 18, 2011, at around 3 p.m. Jennifer is a runaway from her mother's residence in Tijuana Mexico. Jennifer is at risk, as she does not have a place to live and was recently treated at a nearby hospital.
She has been known to be in the company of a 22-year-old male Hispanic, Alberto Labastida. Labastida is a known gang member and frequents the area of Parthenia Street and Willis Avenue, in the North Hills area of the
San Fernando Valley. It is believed that Jennifer is with Labastida and both are avoiding contact with Law Enforcement. Jennifer recently learned her mother was ill and may be attempting to return back to Mexico.
Rodriguez was last seen wearing dark colored shoes, blue pants and a light brown or tan jacket. She has brown shoulder length hair, possibly in a short ponytail, brown eyes. She stands at 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs about 120 pounds with a thin build.
Anyone with information regarding the whereabouts of Jennifer Rodriguez is urged to contact LAPD Mission Division at 818-838-9800. During non business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7. Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crimestoppers at 800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477). Tipsters may also contact Crimestoppers by texting to phone number 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone. All text messages should begin with the letters "LAPD." Tipsters may also go to LAPDOnline.org, click on "webtips" and follow the prompts.


Dependency injection is a tremendously useful design pattern. From my experience the direct benefits of this pattern are almost entirely realized as a reduction in the cost of building and maintaining good unit test coverage. Being able to swap out mocks and real instances or values very easily makes the creation of test suites a breeze in comparison to some of the alternatives. All the other benefits derived over the long time largely arise from having a far more comprehensive and maintainable set of tests, since the development team were able to do more in the time allotted.
There are countless dependency injection frameworks in the Java ecosystem, but here I'll look at Guice. It is lightweight enough to drop into most application frameworks with little friction, and is fairly easy to use. Dropwizard is an opinionated Java web application framework with a few packages where someone has already done the heavy lifting of integrating Guice, such as Dropwizard-Guice. If you've already looked through the options, then laying out the boilerplate for a new Dropwizard application that uses Guice for dependency injection is a matter of outlining just a couple of classes.
As it happens I had to do exactly this recently while working in Scala, one of the many successful younger languages that have emerged to run on the Java Virtual Machine. Since I don't like to let lessons learned slip away with the corrosion of memory I took the time to create an example application: you'll find scala-dropwizard-guice-example at GitHub. It is packaged as a single JAR file with dependencies and can run as a command or a server to echo back the text content in a resource file within the JAR. This is just enough to exercise dependency injection for the Dropwizard configuration and a single service and its tests.
It is usually the case that things will work fine if only the latest stable versions are specified when filling out project dependencies in the POM file. If using older versions of various platforms, however, such as Dropwizard 6.2, then it is necessary to be more careful. The Dropwizard version used drives which version of Dropwizard-Guice can be used. That in turn requires a specific older version of Guice. Further compatibility issues with some versions of Guava are likely to show up.
Since Guice is a dependency injection framework many types of version mismatch error will only show up at runtime. On occasion it might be necessary to dig back through the public repositories for a project to inspect the POM files and find out what the dependency version should be, and then check to see whether it is accidentally being overridden.
will turn up via the dependencies. This is necessary.
declaration ordering for plugins in the same phase.
The shade plugin adds all the dependencies to the output JAR.
Integrating Dropwizard with Guice is simple enough: just add a suitably configured GuiceBundle instance to the environment, which here is done in SdgExampleApplication.scala. The GuiceBundle code then automatically adds resources in the package to the Dropwizard Environment, and makes the Configuration and Environment instances available via an injector that can be obtained from the bundle instance.
// Create the bundle for dropwizard-guice integration.
// dropwizard-guice lets us get these instances from the injector as well.
"An example to show how to use dropwizard-guice."
// Print out the content - that is the sole purpose of this example command.
Aside from the above, the rest of it is all straightforward use of Guice: annotate constructors with @Inject; set up an AbstractModule implementation to define the provided dependencies; build unit tests that receive their own mix of mock and real dependencies; and so forth. This is much the same in Scala as in Java, and you should take a look at the code in the scala-dropwizard-guice-example at GitHub for more details.
