The imageview visibility is set to gone, when an user adds an image the visibility changes to visible and the imageview pushes the submit button downward.
However, the result is undesirable, it makes the submit button anchor to the very bottom of the layout. As you can see below:

My quesiton is, how can I make this layout respect the bottom margin of the submit button?

A: Adding android:paddingBottom to parent ConstraintLayout works.

A: Adding layout_marginBottom to its parent (in this case, the ConstraintLayout) might work.
It seems to me that all those constraint attributes might have messed up the margins. For this layout, I don't think you need a ConstraintLayout. A LinearLayout would do just fine.

A: I too faced the same issue and it was solved by wraping the child layout with another Linearlayout having no margins. in your case it would be like

Value Communication
Tables and Comparisons
LeveragePoint Tables
Creating a Table
Note: This article will discuss how to create LeveragePoint tables. For potential use cases for tables, see LeveragePoint Tables.
Below is an example of a common table use, a total cost of ownership (TCO) chart, from a value proposition for a fictitious company. We'll use this table as an example throughout this article.
Tables have a similar layout to the standard LeveragePoint value driver page, with a name on the top left of the screen and a message below. The key distinctive elements of this page are the table on the left and the stacked bar chart on the right. Each data point on the table in the left and the stacked bar chart on the right represent a variable from the underlying value model.
LeveragePoint provides the flexibility to selectively display data in a table and not the bar chart. While not represented in the TCO chart above, you could also display data in a bar chart that is not represented in the table.
How to Build a Table
To build or modify a table, users must use the Tables subtab under the 1. Message tab in the Value Communication tool.
To create a new table, select the Add link.
The editable options immediately available are:
Label: the name for the table. In the table slide featured above, the label is "Total Cost of Ownership".
Message: value message for the table. In the table slide featured above, the value message is "The BTR system results in significant fully loaded savings over the life of the equipment".
Tags: use to categorize tables. For additional functionality with this tag option, see Table Tags.
Details: where table slide content is selected.
Click on the Details link to open a dialog where users can build out the table and bar charts that are displayed in a table slide. Below is how an empty table will appear.
A typical table will use columns to display major categories to compare and rows to display specific variables within each major category. In the accompanying bar chart, columns will display as a stacked bar and rows represent the portions of the stacked bar chart.
Select Add Column or Add Row to add a column or row, respectively, and label them with a name.
To construct the table in the TCO example above, there will need to be three columns and five rows.
Next, click the Select link to open a dialog where users can add a variable to display for each row/column pairing. Below is the variable selection dialog for the Energy row/NTG system column.
Any variable from a model can be selected in this dialog box. Narrow the list of variables using the search box, then select the relevant variable using the Select button. It may be necessary to create a new variable for a table if a relevant one has not already been created.
Note: value drivers and price components cannot be displayed in a table. It is possible to convert a value driver or price component into a subformula which can then be used in a table.
Once a variable is selected, it will appear within the constructed table as the name of the variable and its value. Below is the table from above with variables selected for each row/column combination.
Finally, it may be necessary to hide data from either the chart or the table. In the TCO example above, there are two columns featuring cost components of two offerings. The final row, Total, would be out of place in a stacked bar chart already showing the components of that total. Table tags are used to hide that row from the stacked bar chart.
Tags control what is shown in either the graph or the table. To add a tag, use the Add Tags link. The tags will function as follows:
hide-table: hides either a row or column from the table.
hide-chart: hides either a row or column from the bar chart. Hiding a column will remove the entire stacked bar representing that column from the chart. Hiding a row will remove the relevant portion from all stacked bars.
hide-chart-label: removes chart labels from either a row or column in the bar chart.
In the TCO example, the tags hide-chart would be used on the row Total and the column Net.
Note: the existing table editing function does not allow users to insert or re-arrange rows and columns. This means that it is important to consider the order or rows and columns before building a table in order to avoid having to rebuild it from scratch.

Financial literacy to be integrated into education curriculum
The education ministry is working on integrating the national financial literacy school curriculum into the formal education curriculum.
The Royal Monetary Authority (RMA) presented the draft of the curriculum to the education ministry during the global money week earlier this week. The Royal Institute of Management (RIM) developed the curriculum.
Education ministry's deputy chief programme officer for School Planning and Coordination Division, Pem Tshering, said that the draft curriculum submitted by RMA would be further deliberated with Royal Education Council to integrate the curriculum into the existing curriculum.
He said that the financial concepts, risks, skills and knowledge from the draft would function as a supplementary reference for teachers to teach and for students to refer. "For instance, a teacher teaching any subject which has reference to financial concepts and literacy can use the book as a teaching material or as a reference."
Work on drafting the curriculum began about a year ago under RMA to promote financial education and inclusion among the youth.
RMA's Head of Financial Inclusion and Literacy Division, Nangsi Dema, said that in Bhutan, formal education does not include financial literacy as part of the curriculum.
She said that having a financial literacy curriculum would educate the future generation for smart and informed decision-making. "The students will be educated on learning to earn before learning to connect with any financial institutions. Other countries have such curriculum and our objective is to bring a smarter and financial literate future generation."
The draft curriculum includes lessons on learning to earn, importance of saving, smart shopping, digital financing, importance of credits and their usage among others.
Nangsi Dema said that RMA's objective is to reach almost all the grades and also focus on students who might move for choices other than formal education. "This is why the curriculum is made very generic. However, further discussion will take place to decide on it."
For a better inclusion of the financial literacy modules in the curriculum, RMA will provide first hand Training of Trainers to the ministry of education, which will be further disseminated to the teachers.

Nostradamus predicted Trump's shock election victory in 2016, or did he? Some passages bear eerie similarities to real events. What are we to make of this and what does it mean for the future fate of the world?
CC Image Courtesy of Kristoffer Trolle on Flickr.
Shameless and audacious Mr. Trump certainly is. He's also commander-in-chief, and his election occasioned a lot of incredible, almost apocalyptic hysteria (which has since abated… somewhat). Is the bridge the bridge of partisanship being severed with the election of such a divisive anti-establishment figure?
CC Image Courtesy of Gage Skidmore on Flickr.
Here's what Nostradamus apparently had to say about Hillary Clinton, a politician perhaps as loved and loathed as Mr. Orange.
She did exert herself in the global north. But did she really annoy nearly all of Europe and the rest of the world? Seems a bit harsh. Two failures will put her in an imbalance – is that her failure in the 2008 Democratic Primaries and then in the 2016 Presidential Election? The last line seems to say that Eastern Europe, and perhaps Russia specifically, will be strengthened in the global order no matter what happens to Hillary at this point. In other words, the implication is her power to influence the situation has waned.
Did Nostradamus Have Anything to Say About Trump and Russia?
False message about the rigged election could imply a vindication of Trump and his ties with Russia. Or, since there's an ambiguity to the language, it could be that the election was rigged, but the message of how it was rigged is false and misleading, perhaps the result of intense partisanship. "Stopping the broken pact" could mean the final end of the American dream through war, racism, etc. Voices bought could be the Facebook ads and other election "influencing" media Russia paid for. Finally, "empire contracted to another one" – that's Trump's American regime cozying up with Russia, probably. I admit these predictions are a bit eerie when you put them side-by-side. However, as I said earlier, I think you can use a lot of Nostradamus quotes for different situations. "The masculine woman will exert herself to the north" could just as well be about German Chancellor Angela Merkel, for example. Ultimately, I feel like Trump trumps Nostradamus.

Guilt-Free haircare products!
We started with a clear conviction when we started HairFood Co., "create products that promote healthier hair
without the negative ingredients"
The shocking truth is most haircare products nowadays have the three ingredients "sulfates", "paraben", and "phthalates". These are ingredients infused in most hair care products for decades but are now controversial because of their adverse effects to users.
What are Sulfates?
Sulfates are an additive to cleaning products that causes the foaming action commonly associated with soaps. The most common sulfate is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), found in most shampoos and conditioners. Used primarily as a foaming agent, a sulfate combines with water to emulsify grease, dispersing it into the water so that it can be washed away. Sulfates also act as a surfactant, a substance that reduces the surface tension of water, helping your shampoo loosen the grease and sebum from your hair and scalp.
However, sulfates can be harmful. Sulfates are also used for cleaning products like household soaps and detergents. If you have particularly sensitive skin, sulfates may increase your sensitivity, causing irritation. "Though sulfate-based shampoos do effectively clean the hair, they can also strip the hair of essential oils as well as irritate the skin," cosmetic chemist and BeautyStat founder of Ron Robinson told Glamour.
What are Parabens?
Parabens are the most widely used preservatives in personal care products — stopping fungus, bacteria and other microbes from growing in your favorite products, especially in the moist, warm environment of a bathroom.
Their names are a mouthful: methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, and isobutylparaben. You'll find them listed on thousands of personal care products such as shampoos, mascara, foundations and body lotions. But over the past few years, a debate has been building among scientists, product safety regulators and cosmetic manufacturers about whether these chemicals may actually be harmful for your health.
Parabens has estrogenic qualities. Research has shown parabens don't cause cancer, only that they were easily detected among cancerous cells. Paraben could be detected in the blood and urine of users a few hours after products with parabens were applied to skin. It means that these chemicals could be absorbed, metabolized and excreted, they could potentially contribute to adverse health effects.
There's ongoing policies that in the next 10 years, parabens will be phased out. That may not be so much because of conclusive evidence as consumer demand.
What are Phthalates?
Phthalates are a group of chemicals used to make plastics more flexible and harder to break. They are often called plasticizers. Some phthalates are used as solvents (dissolving agents) for other materials. They are used in hundreds of products, such as vinyl flooring, adhesives, detergents, lubricating oils, automotive plastics, plastic clothes (raincoats), and personal-care products (soaps, shampoos, hair sprays, and nail polishes).
Phthalates is the name given to a group of compounds that has numerous side effects and should be avoided strictly by everyone. Typically, more flexible is the plastic, higher the number of phthalates in the product. Because phthalates are not chemically bound to the plastics to which they are added, they are easily released into the environment.
Phthalates are endocrine disruptors. The following are some of the problems linked to phthalates:
The exposure of Phthalates in the womb of the mother has been associated with abnormalities in the reproductive tract, especially decreased Ano-genital distance. Phthalates appear to cause more damage to male reproduction when the exposure occurs during male fetal development. Continuous exposure over the lifetime has shown an association of Phthalates with sperm motility and concentration, thus might be one of the contributing factors increasing cases of infertility in Males. One study has shown an association between Phthalates and pre-pubertal breast development in girls. Phthalates levels were found to be higher in pregnant females with complications when compared to those with normal pregnancy. High exposure to phthalates in the womb of the mother was associated with increased chanced of inattention (ADHD), rule-breaking and aggressive behavior, headache, stomachache and muscular tension more so in boys than girls.
What HairFood Co. is doing?
In HairFood Co., we aggressively find ways to replace chemicals that pose to be of risk to the users. We've collaborated with trusted chemists to use alternative ingredients that support nature-inspired formulations. We believe that beautiful and healthier hair can be achieved with more research, better ingredients and the power of nature.

Social Protection Ministry allocated $24M to GNCUL
By Editor On Dec 21, 2016 Last updated Dec 21, 2016
The Ministry of Social Protection's Department of Labour has budgeted a total of $24M to be invested in the Guyana National Cooperative Union Limited (GNCUL).
During the consideration of estimates for the Department of Labour in the Supply Committee of the National Assembly on Tuesday evening, Minister with responsibility for the sector, Keith Scott made this disclosure. However, he could not disclose the head and other members of the body when questioned by members of the opposition. The minister promised to provide the details at a later date.
Minister Scott claimed that the body is located at Waterloo Street, Georgetown.
Opposition members of Parliament questioned the criteria for the allocation.
PPP/C MP, Bishop Juan Edghill asked about the nature of the body to which the Minister said the support is necessary as the Labour Department is in the process of revitalising the co-op movement.
Opposition MP, Jillian Burton also questioned the investment and asked the Minister to justify same. He told the house that the GNCUL is an umbrella body for several co-ops in the ten administrative regions.
Burton further questioned whether that money could not be better used by the Guyana Trade Unions Congress (GTUC), and the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Guyana (FITUG) to which the minister stunned the house by saying "You would recognise the virtual impotence of those two bodies."
FITUG and the GTUC represent thousands of workers.

Captain's Log – September 18th, 2015
By Alec Peters September 21, 2015 September 25th, 2015 Captain's Log
Today was podcast day. We started off with Rob and I recording a podcast with Gary Graham at my place. He even posed with my Captain America shield.
Gary Graham's genre crossover
This interview will be in Podcast # 33, which we plan to release next week. We then took Gary to lunch at the Daily Grill to thank him for his time. Rob and I always have fun with Gary.
The official poster
We then jetted down to the famous Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Bl. to meet with John Atkins, the executive producer of Yorktown: A Time to Heal, the famous, never-released Star Trek fan film starring George Takei and James Shigeta. We did an interview with him, which will be on Podcast # 34.
This is an amazing project started in 1985 and now being finished. Read about its history on the Wikipedia page and then check out the official Yorktown webpage and their Facebook page.
George Takei and cast from Yorktown
John Atkin sits center seat in the new scenes shot for "Yorktown: A Time to Heal".
Acting legend James Shigeta played Admiral Nogura.
At night Diana and I went to the 28th anniversary showing of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe at the famed Egyptian Theater. Pretty cool as there was a Q&A after with the cast and crew.

Author: Pavel Sayk.
The invention relates to the field of electroacoustics, in particular to the formation of acoustic radiation and designs of magnetic systems of electroacoustic transducers.
Thanks to its design, the electro-acoustic transducer has a high efficiency and insignificant nonlinear distortions.
Fig. 1. Sectional design of the electroacoustic transducer Volegova V.E.
The electroacoustic transducer contains two permanent axially magnetized annular magnets 1, placed between the upper and lower annular flanges 2 and directed towards each other by the same-named poles, between which an annular magnetic multilayer gasket 3 is located, the middle layer 4 of which is made of a paramagnetic or diamagnetic material, and the remaining layers 5 are placed symmetrically relative to the middle layer 4 and are made of soft magnetic anisotropic materials, the non-magnetic gasket 6 adjoins the lower annular flanges 2 and 13, and the voice coil 7, mechanically connected to the membrane 8, installed in the working gap coaxially and symmetrically to the annular magnetic multilayer gaskets 3 and 14, a membrane holder 9 with a cover 10, in the center of which, along the axis, a quasicone 11 is installed, the tip of which enters the central holes along the axis of the central core and membrane holder 9, two annular flanges 13, two annular magnets 12 and an annular, magnetic, multilayer the gasket 14 is placed coaxially, with a working gap to the outer annular magnets 1, two annular magnets 12 are located between the upper and lower annular flanges 13 and are directed towards each other by the same poles, but opposite to the external annular magnets 1.
An annular magnetic multilayer gasket 14 is placed between the magnets 12. The membrane holder 9 is made with a central hole 15 and with radial holes 16 and is mechanically connected to a non-magnetic annular gasket 6 and to the outer edges of the cover 10 and membrane 8.
Layers 5 and 4 of annular, magnetic, multilayer gaskets 3 and 14, at high radiator powers and significant dimensions of the voice coil 7, are optimally, in terms of costs and technology, made toroidal, twisted from a tape made of soft magnetic anisotropic and diamagnetic or paramagnetic materials.
Two acoustic chambers are formed in the transducer. The inner chamber is formed by the inner, emitting surface of the membrane 8, the inner surface of the cover 10, the surface of the quasicone 11, the tip of which enters the hole of the central core and the central hole 15 of the membrane holder 9, which is the outlet of the acoustic chamber. The acoustic radiation of the chamber is directed towards the center, through the central hole 15.
The outer chamber is formed by the outer emitting surface of the membrane 8, the inner surface of the membrane holder 9 and the surface of the magnetic system. The radial holes 16 are the outlet of the acoustic chamber. The acoustic radiation of the chamber is directed from the center through the radial opening 16.
The electroacoustic transducer works as follows. When an electroacoustic signal is applied to the voice coil 7, its electromagnetic field interacts with the magnetic fluxes of the magnetic system, which consists of permanent annular magnets 1 and 12, magnetic flanges 2 and 13 and multilayer magnetic spacers 3 and 14. Coil 7 performs longitudinal oscillations in the working gap, in a magnetic field created by two coaxially placed magnetic systems, depending on the direction of the electric current.
When the coil 7 moves to the end of one of the poles of the magnets 1, 12, it enters the scattered magnetic field and decelerates, since the main magnetic field formed by the magnetic spacers 3 and 14 is directed in the other direction. The working stroke of the coil 7 and membrane 8 is calculated in such a way that the coil 7, at the maximum amplitude of movements, does not reach the ends of magnets 1 and 12. Due to the open acoustic chambers, membrane 8 is symmetrically suspended and loaded, and the magnetic system limits the output in the area of nonlinear distortion of acoustic radiation.
Rice. 2. Electroacoustic transducer Volegova V.E. View from above
The proposed design makes it possible to significantly increase the efficiency and at high powers of acoustic radiation, up to 0.3 kW of acoustic power, to provide insignificant nonlinear distortions.

In today's era of big data, we often rely on computers to do sorting, searching, and analyzing. Sometimes, however, there's just no substitute for the human eye and brain, which comes pre-loaded with excellent pattern-detection capabilities. This is where citizen science come in.
With the advent of major transiting-planet surveys like Kepler, its successor mission K2, and now the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), we have more light curves to sort through than ever before. Combined, these missions will produce light curves for hundreds of thousands — if not millions — of stars! Reasonably, scientists have turned to computers to search these light curves for the faint signs of transiting exoplanet candidates.
In the K2 mission, scientists used an automated search pipeline to check the light curves of tens of thousands of stars for transit candidates. Wisely, however, the K2 team didn't dismiss the inconclusive light curves after this first automated pass.
Those curves with candidate transits that didn't quite meet the algorithm's thresholds were then passed to a citizen-science project known as Exoplanet Explorers, a Zooniverse spinoff. There, citizen scientists had the opportunity to examine individual candidate transit events and phase-folded light curves, hunting for features consistent with a transiting planet that the automated search may have missed.
Sixteen citizen scientists flagged the star K2-288 as showing signs of hosting a transiting planet. Upon further inspection, it was evident that this candidate had been missed by the automated search because the original data had been trimmed in order to remove systematics. This trimming had dropped one of the planet's three observed transits; with only two possible transits visible, the automated search didn't flag K2-288.
With access to reprocessed data, however, the Exoplanet Explorers citizen scientists identified K2-288 as a candidate of interest and passed it along to the waiting team of scientists. Led by Adina Feinstein (Tufts University and University of Chicago), that team then conducted follow-up observations of K2-288 to confirm the presence of a planet and determine its properties.
Feinstein and collaborators report that the confirmed planet, K2-288Bb, is a small (~1.9 Earth radii) planet that lies in or near the habitable zone of its host — a host that is one of two M-dwarf stars in a binary system.
K2-288 is an interesting system for a number of reasons. First, the unique architecture of the system — a relatively wide-orbit planet around one star of a moderate-separation binary — provides us with an opportunity to learn about the complex dynamics that allowed it to form and evolve.
Additionally, K2-288Bb's estimated radius places it in an observed gap in planet radius distribution. Its unusual size suggests that its atmosphere may be evolving, causing it to transition either from gaseous mini-Neptune to rocky super-Earth or the other way around.
More observations of this intriguing system will help us to better understand what we're seeing. In the meantime, we can be glad for citizen scientists helping us to spot what automated techniques might miss!

All experiments performed on human peripheral blood lymphocytes in the presence of human seroblock (BUF070A).
Mouse anti Human CD26 antibody, clone M-A261, recognizes human dipeptidyl peptidase 4, also known as adenosine deaminase complexing protein 2, CD26, TP103, ADABP or DPP IV. CD26 is a 766 amino acid ~110 kDa single pass type II transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by activated T cells, B cells and macrophages. A soluble form of CD26 can be derived by cleavage of the membrane bound form between residues 38-39 (Uniprot: 27487).
CD26 acts as a functional receptor for the pathogenic Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus [MERS-CoV] (Raj et al. 2014), a severe and frequently fatal disease in humans and marmosets sharing identical CD26 sequence at the site of interaction with the MERS-CoV spike protein (Lu et al. 2013, Wang et al. 2013).
Mouse anti Human CD26 antibody, clone M-A261 has been used successfully for the immunohistochemical detection of CD26 on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissues and the demonstration of elevated CD26 expression in thyroid neoplasia (Kholová et al. 2003). Mouse anti Human CD26 antibody, clone M-A261 has also been used for the immunohistochemical detection of CD26 on cryostat sections using both immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence staining in liver biopsies from NASH patients (Balaban et al. 2007).

Kathryn McCooeye has been named co-executive director of the Nelson and District Women's Centre. Photo submitted
Kathryn McCooeye joins Nelson Women's Centre as co-executive director
McCooeye is an Elder raised in the Gitksan culture
The Nelson and District Women's Centre welcomed Kathryn McCooeye as its new co-executive director as of April 15.
McCooeye is from Huron, Celt and African ancestry, but was raised in the Gitksan (Coast Salish) culture in a remote village in northwest B.C. She is a Chanumpa (Sacred Pipe) Carrier in the Lakota tradition, having apprenticed with the late Grandfather Wallace Black Elk (Lakota). McCooeye has dedicated her life to serving Mitakuye Oyasin (All My Relations) and is a much sought after Indigenous cultural consultant, elder, traditional knowledge keeper, outdoor Indigenous educator and ceremonial facilitator.
"Intersectional feminism directly aligns with our traditional First Nations sacred women's laws in meeting our responsibilities by ensuring that the needs of everyone in the village and natural environment are met," said McCooeye.
"I look forward to working as co-executive director of the Nelson and District Women's Centre and I am honoured to be entrusted to ensure the inclusion of our self-identified women, trans, cis, non-binary, two spirited and queer women of colour in our services.
"Too often women's centres are places that cater only to the settler population so I would like to extend a warm welcome to the Indigenous and other women of colour in the community who require services, support or just a cup of tea to come on over. You will be included in our space with warmth and respect."
Reasha Wolfe was hired in February 2018 to share the position with Kori Doty, who resigned in October 2018 following over six months of controversy and harassment regarding their gender expression.
"I was deeply honoured to be partnered with Kori and honestly I was shattered by the bullying they experienced and that they weren't safe in their position at the Women's Centre. It has taken a lot of work to create a safer working environment since then, and I was overjoyed to receive Kat's application."
Wolfe added: "I think this may be the first time in the 45-year history of the Women's Centre that an Indigenous woman is in leadership, and I am overjoyed about the opportunity to work with Kat and learn from her."
The Nelson and District Women's Centre is also known as the West Kootenay Women's Association, a feminist organization with a volunteer board of directors called the co-ordinating collective, two drop-in co-ordinators, Zaynab Mohammed and Nichola Cornell, a volunteer co-ordinator and youth co-ordinator, Axel McGowan, another youth co-ordinator, Raina Gardener, a bookkeeper, Clelie Murray Chevrier, and a housekeeper, April Isnardy.
Sometimes there is one executive director and sometimes there are two. Membership has grown by over 300 per cent in the last year. Members are feminists from near and far who support the society's work.

Q: Short story where the ship's cat saves them by playing with the defense system? I'm looking for a sci-fi short story I read ages ago, where the crew of an experimental new spaceship that scans their minds to anticipate their orders get drunk one night and scan in the cat, which the ship starts treating like a member of crew.
When the ship gets attacked by aliens using a weapon that paralyses the humans, the computer displays the situation as a hologram, and the cat starts attacking the enemy diagram, guiding the ship to fight and win. As a reward, the crew give the cat all the luxuries it can eat.

A: I think it's "Well Worth the Money", by Jody Lynn Nye! Published in Cats in Space and Other Spaces, edited by Bill Fawcett, Baen Books, 1992.
From this review:

Balin Jurgenevski along with two others volunteer to take an experimental spaceship to deliver and pick up goods at a space colony.  The spaceship was a dual project between humans and a friendly alien race but it's not quite clear how easy or likely it will work so the 3-person crew is being offered a whole lot of money to try it out.  Once aboard, the three find that the ship practically takes care of itself and they have little work to do besides take care of the ship cat, Kelvin.  The ship's operating system has user profiles for each person and thus, prepares, delivers, and checks in on the specifics of each person.  One day, they decide to create a user profile for Kelvin and sure enough, the ship's adaptive program begins caring for and working with Kelvin.  During one of the jumps, the crew end up in a dangerous part of the galaxy where a known race of alien blobs regularly seeks to do them harm.  An alien ship arrives and starts to attack with a beam that paralyzes the humans but Kelvin is still free.  The ship's computer works with Kelvin to fight the other spaceship and destroy them.  The rest of the mission goes well and they all speak on Kelvin's behalf as an official crew member.


NEW DELHI: The IT Act has legal framework for privacy and security of data in digital format and provides for compensation to the victim in the case of unauthorised access and leakage of sensitive personal information, the government said today.
"Section 43, Section 43A and Section 72A of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and the IT Rules (Reasonable Security Practices and Procedures and Sensitive Personal Data or Information) 2011 provide comprehensive legal framework for privacy and security of data in digital form," Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha informed Rajya Sabha today.
He was responding to a query on the government's plan to ensure there is no violation of user privacy through Internet-based messaging services.
"Sections 43 and 43A of the Act provide for compensation to be paid to the victim in the case of unauthorised access of information and leakage of sensitive personal information, respectively," Sinha said.
Many mobile applications at the time of their installation in mobile phones force upon users to give permission to access content in their mobile phones, access to call records, microphone and the like without their intervention. Such permissions can be misused for breach of privacy of users.
"They are also required to implement reasonable security practices and procedures to protect the information. The government has already notified as per the provisions of Section 46 of the IT Act that Secretary of Department of Information Technology of each state and UT to act as adjudicating officers for the purpose of the IT Act," Sinha said.

As a Paladin, you are a resolute warrior against Chaos and evil, and a stalwart defender of Law. You might resemble the "knight in shining armor," or you might be a grim, deadly veteran of the dark and desperate war against the foul powers of Chaos. In either case, you are wholly dedicated to the eradication of Chaos and the protection of civilization. You defend the weak from tyranny, fight injustice where you find it, and hunt down those who are tainted with the demonic mark of Chaos. Most Paladins are members of an order of knights, or are attached to the service of a temple of Law, although some of them operate as "knights errant," following the guidance of higher powers toward the places where Law battles Chaos.
Armor/Shield Permitted: Paladins are able to use any armor or shield effectively.
Weapons Permitted: Paladins are able to use all weapons equally effectively.
Race: Only humans may be Paladins.
Paladins must be of Lawful alignment or they will revert to the abilities of a normal Fighter.
Paladins may own a suit of magic armor, a magic shield, and up to 3 magical weapons, but they may own no more than four additional magic items. Paladins can use any magic items that can normally be used by Fighters.
Other than whatever is needed for food and shelter, a Paladin must donate all treasure to charities or temples associated with the Lawful alignment.
Paladins will not work with characters other than those of Lawful alignment unless ordered to do so by a superior officer of the Paladin's order, by a Lawful prince, or by the high priest of a Lawful temple.
Although Paladins do not receive a class-based saving throw bonus, they have better saving throw chances than any other character class due to the divine influence of Law. If the Referee is using an alternate saving throw system, it is important to take this into account: Paladins should generally have base saving throw "target numbers" 2 points better than those of a regular Fighter.
A Paladin can "lay on hands" once per day to cure others of 2 hit points of damage per level of the Paladin, or to cure disease. If the other person is afflicted by more than one disease, only one of these will be affected per five levels the Paladin has attained.
Paladins are immune to all diseases.
At any level, the character may summon a warhorse that will arrive from the wilderness to serve as the Paladin's steed. This warhorse will be unusually intelligent and extremely strong (5 HD). However, if the horse is killed, the Paladin may not summon another within a period of ten game-years.
Starting at 8th level, the Paladin can dispel evil, as per the Clerical spell.
Starting at 8th level, the Paladin can detect evil as per the Clerical spell, at a range of 60 feet.
