LOS GATOS, CA – (September 7, 2016) – BrightSign, LLC®, the global market leader in digital signage media players, today announced the first major overhaul of the company's players in nearly two years. BrightSign's lineup of digital signage media players has been completely redesigned and will ship with a portfolio of technology updates including an M.2 interface for Wi-Fi antennae or a solid-state drive (M.2 SSD). BrightSign's free BrightAuthor software and the BrightSign Network are also updated with advanced digital signage features for enterprise-level performance.
"The digital signage marketplace is evolving rapidly. For that reason it's important that our technology solutions not only support signage as it's being used today, but that they also work flawlessly many years from now," said Jeff Hastings, BrightSign's CEO. "Customers can install our players today knowing that BrightSign software, hardware and networking solutions will serve them well in the future as they implement new and exciting digital signage features."
BrightAuthor software v4.5 will enable a new feature on the HD, XD and XT players called Mosaic Mode, which allows a multitude of lower resolution videos to be played in multiple video zones that add up to the total resolution decoding power of the players video decoder. CEA HDR 10 is supported on all players delivering a much higher contrast ratio and much wider color palette, complementing the higher resolution of 4K displays. And the ability to real-time encode and stream content from the player to another end-point or device is now incorporated in XD and XT players.
B-Deploy, a powerful new feature that allows customers to setup and deploy from tens to thousands of players all at once, can be used with the BrightSign Network, a BrightSign Partner CMS, or an on-premise secure corporate LAN with internet access.
BrightSign Network, including the new B-Deploy feature, now supports media and player tagging for highly targeted content distribution to large networks of players.
Each of the seven new players boasts a sleek new industrial design with a very slim profile under 1" in height that makes it possible to place the players virtually anywhere. All new players integrate H.265 (HEVC playback features) and HTML5. The top two product lines (XD and XT) offer a hardware accelerated H.265 video decoding engine capable of 4K HDR 10-bit video playback.
BrightSign's portfolio of digital signage media players is now comprised of seven players spanning four product lines:
BrightSign LS: Affordable, Compact and Fully Featured
BrightSign's LS423 ($250) is a fully featured, commercial-grade player offering a superior alternative to consumer devices often chosen for price-sensitive digital signage installations. Based on the award-winning BrightSign HD platform, BrightSign LS423 delivers signature reliability and affordability, with a robust feature set including H.265 Full HD video decoding, a basic HTML5 engine, USB 2.0 type C, and networking.
BrightSign HD: Updated Classic with Mainstream Performance
BrightSign's new HD models are updated with advanced technology that delivers power and performance for mainstream applications at a very affordable cost. Both the HD223 ($350) and HD1023 ($450) offer hardware-accelerated HTML5 engine and 1080p60 decode, along with BrightSign's highly reliable media-handling platform and signature ease of use. All HD models support Gigabit Ethernet, as well as robust interactive controls and dynamic live content features.
BrightSign XD: True 4K Playback and Advanced Performance
BrightSign's two new XD players are capable of decoding either two 1080p60 videos or a single 4K video and a single 1080p60 video simultaneously. Both the XD233 ($450) and XD1033 ($550) have Gigabit Ethernet and offer an advanced hardware-accelerated HTML5 engine.
BrightSign XT: State-of-the-Art Technology with Enterprise Performance
The BrightSign XT243 ($550) and XT1143 ($650) offer unsurpassed performance with the company's fastest HTML and graphics engine and the most powerful CPU. This state-of-the-art technology for enterprise level digital signage installations supports dual video decode of one 4K and one 1080p60 video simultaneously. The hardware-accelerated HTML5 engine enables flawless playback of multiple modular HTML5 assets including CSS animations, Web GL and swipe/gesture interactivity. Both XT models support PoE+ and Gigabit Ethernet, and the XT1143 offers HDMI-in for Live TV playback.

I'm trying to model a strange paradigm in Alfresco, and I'm not sure I can do it without cracking the thing open and doing some development. The basic idea is that a document is uploaded to a folder, and the same document is then uploaded to a different folder–i.e., it is multi filed. The first folder it is uploaded to will be under lock-and-key to the user, but I want the user to be able to view it from its multi-filed folder.
The first question is…does the Alfresco community edition support multi filing through its UI? I had to do it through the CMIS endpoint. This is mostly for curiosity, though it would be convenient if I could do it through the UI.
The second question is…is that paradigm possible without additional development? I know that it spits on the principle of least priviledge; I'm simply trying to model functionality that exists in our current ECM system. The one solution I can come up with would be to execute an action on the multi-filed folder to give a user or group permissions on the document when a document is placed into it, but lo and behond, no such action seems to exist out of the box. Doing it manually does achieve the effect I'm looking for (user cannot see the "home folder" but can see the "Multi filed folder" and the document therein), so I'm hopeful that there's a reasonably simple way to turn that behavior into an action.
Can you outline the business requirement that results in you having to multi-file in Alfresco? If we can understand the original requirement we can recommended a more elegant solution.

Employment Law Case Update – Religious Discrimination
July 1, 2019, By Helen Frankland
The claimant in this case, Mr Page, was a non-executive director of the Respondent NHS trust. He was also a Magistrate, participating in decisions involving family matters such as adoptions. In his position as a Magistrate, Mr Page was part of a panel hearing an application by a same sex couple to adopt a young child. Mr Page was a Christian and held the firm view that a child should always be brought up by a mother and a father and not by a same sex couple. Mr Page expressed his views to his fellow magistrates and was disciplined for misconduct. He did not inform the NHS trust of what had happened, nor did he inform the NHS trust of the significant media interest around the matter.
When the NHS trust eventually found out what had happened, it warned Mr Page that his public expression of his views could affect his position as non-executive director of the NHS trust as it could suggest that he was unable to exercise his judgement impartially. He was instructed to inform the NHS trust of any further media interest. However, despite this instruction, Mr Page continued to engage with the media, even giving interviews on the subject.
As a consequence of his actions, Mr Page was removed from his position as a Magistrate and the NHS trust decided not to renew his non-executive directorship.
Mr Page brought claims of direct and indirect discrimination against the NHS trust claiming that he had been removed from office because of his religious beliefs.
The Employment Tribunal dismissed Mr Page's claims. In so dismissing his claims, the ET decided that the NHS trust had decided not to renew his non-executive directorship because of the manner in which he had expressed his beliefs, rather than because of his beliefs themselves. In this situation the NHS did not discriminate against him.
Mr Page appealed to the EAT and the EAT dismissed his appeal. The Tribunal was entirely correct in its findings and the appeal was therefore rejected. Mr Page was not discriminated against on the ground of his religious beliefs.

10 Paranoiacs Who Were Right In The End
A. J. Simonson
Featured photo credit: TheMachineStops
In the immortal words of author Joseph Heller, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you!" These examples are a testament to the truth of that statement. Some environments, such as espionage and politics, induce paranoia much more easily than others, but in the end, sometimes that suspicion is warranted. After all, even paranoid people can have enemies.
10James Jesus Angleton
The long-time counterintelligence chief at the CIA was a man whose job was as simple to describe as it was difficult to perform: Catch all Soviet spies and their allies in the US. His was a world of smoke and mirrors where trust was a mere chimaera. That constant pressure made him see a massive conspiracy in which dozens of people in the CIA were in fact Soviet moles. It's generally agreed now that Angleton thwarted the work of the whole agency by squandering an absurd amount of agency resources to catch non-existent moles.
But as luck would have it, there really were double agents who sold American secrets to the Soviets and the Israelis—Aldrich Ames, Robert Hanssen, Jonathan Pollard, and Christopher Boyce were just a few of the more public names. Granted, they probably weren't part of a coordinated spy network, but they really existed and they were really harming American interests with their activities. Aldrich Ames alone is purported to have compromised over 100 operations.
9Richard Stallman
Photo credit: Thomas Bresson
Richard Stallman, the disheveled guru of free software, has always been a strong advocate of the "Four Freedoms," a stance which he claims is born from an instinctive distrust of secrets and opacity. Stallman spearheaded the creation of the GNU operating system, which usually runs on the Linux kernel and is the basis of the operating systems in Android phones, most Internet servers, and 97 percent of the world's top 500 supercomputers. He is notorious for rejecting the usage of mobile phones, which he calls "portable surveillance and tracking devices," and for not browsing the Web, which may sound odd coming from an IT expert but which is completely justified in his worldview.
After the Wikileaks and Snowden leaks that revealed how Western intelligence services regularly track and record phone usage and which detailed how Verizon was forced to hand over data from millions of phone calls, he has been proven right.
8Joseph McCarthy
A junior US Senator from Wisconsin, McCarthy is notorious for being the face of the 1950s Red Scare in which hundreds of American citizens were tried for conspiring against the US. He accused hundreds of being crypto-communists and launched a witch hunt that deeply affected both the State Department and the Army. The thing is, there was really a communist infiltration in the works. Around that time, an intercept of Soviet documents from the KGB called the VENONA papers had established the existence of a mole at the top of the Department of State.
Although McCarthy was not entirely right in his zeal, there was a great degree of truth to his statements. In the end, though, his histrionic personality might have played against him. The film Good Night and Good Luck features stock footage of McCarthy that offers a pretty accurate picture of how over-the-top he really was.
7Ahmed Suedani
Probably the most obscure person in this list, Colonel Suedani was the chief of Syrian military intelligence in the 1960s. A deeply suspicious man, he trusted no one—especially businessman Kamel Amin Tabet, who was the friend and confidant of President Amin El-Hafez. He saw something slightly "off" in the charming, Lebanese-born playboy who had immigrated to Argentina and become rich with his wits, his charm, and his linguistic abilities.
With the help of Soviet radio operators and equipment, Suedani made an astonishing discovery: Tabet was in fact an Egyptian-born Jew named Eli Cohen who was working as a spy for the Israeli Mossad. His excellent command of the Syrian Arab dialect was due to being born to Jewish Syrian parents and the excellent training he received in the Mossad. The discovery prompted the resignation of President El-Hafez, the execution of Cohen, and a new job for Suedani as Chief of the General Staff.
6Sir John Cockroft
This brilliant Englishman was a specialist in nuclear physics and was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1951. As such, he was worried about the safety of nuclear installations. As head of the Atomic Energy Research Establishment, he insisted that the chimneys at the Windscale nuclear reactor be fitted with bulky and costly filters to purify the air that cooled their graphite cores. Those filters were called "Cockroft's Follies" since the design of the reactor was deemed perfectly safe as it was.
At least, they thought it was safe until the Windscale fire in 1957, in which the uranium fuel in one of the cores caught fire, releasing radioactive particles into the air. Were it not for the filters, the disaster would have been comparable to Chernobyl. As such, thousands of lives were spared due to the foresight and cautious paranoia of Sir John Cockroft.
5Wild Bill Hickok
The mythical gunslinger from the Old West, Bill Hickok was one of the sharpest shooters of his age. After serving with the Union in the Civil War, he became a law enforcement officer in Kansas and tamed what was then the wild frontier—but not before he had already killed several men in shootouts and duels. For that reason, he was cautious of those men's relatives and friends. He became so paranoid that he refused to sit in a room with his back to the door.
But as the years went by and nobody tried to kill him, he relaxed a little. Finally, during a poker game in Deadwood, South Dakota, he sat with his back to the door. He was subsequently shot in the back by Jack McCall, a man whose motive for the crime is still a mystery. The cards Wild Bill Hickok was holding in the moment of his death—a pair of black aces and a pair of black eights—became the "Dead Man's Hand."
4Mao Zedong
Chairman Mao was the ruler of China from the end of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 until his death in 1976. He wielded an immense amount of power based on his particular brand of Marxism-Leninism dubbed "Mao Zedong Thought"—Maoism for short—which was condensed in "The Little Red Book." He was beset by an intense distrust of his own comrades that resulted in regular purges. One of the targeted individuals was Deng Xiaoping. He was seen by Mao—and the Gang of Four, which briefly ruled China after Mao's death—as a dangerously rightist person who could undermine their efforts to create a truly communist society.
They were all proven right after Mao's death: Deng survived several attacks and became the Paramount Leader of the People's Republic of China, pushing a reformist program which enabled private ownership of the means of production—in other words, plain old capitalism. The Gang Of Four, which included Mao's last wife Jiang Qing, was tried and executed.
3Saddam Hussein
The well-known dictator of Iraq was beset by a constant fear of assassination and overthrow attempts. He was known to purge his own cabinet ministers at the faintest whisper of a plot. He also went to extreme lengths to mislead his enemies as to the whereabouts of the real Saddam—he allegedly used doppelgangers in most of his public appearances, a claim that was completely unsubstantiated.
Despite his excellent relations with the US during the '80s—when he was gassing his own people and going to war against Islamic Iran—the Kuwait War soured the West on this former darling to the point that the US launched cruise missiles against his palaces several times in futile attempts to kill him. Of course, every single one of his fears was ultimately justified—there were a lot of people who wanted to kill him in the end, and eventually, they succeeded.
2Martha Mitchell
Martha Beall Mitchell was the wife of John N. Mitchell, Attorney General of the United States. She had problems with alcoholism that led to their divorce, and she became famous after a series of contacts with the press in which she claimed that the US government was involved in illegal surveillance and cover-up activities. Allegedly, she was once locked in a hotel room and sedated to keep her from talking to the press. Her claims were dismissed by reputed medical professionals as delusions, but some of the claims were strangely coherent.
The president of the United States at the time was Richard Nixon, and as it turned out, the "illegal activities" that she kept going on about were a little thing that became known as the Watergate Affair. Nixon was quoted as saying that "if there hadn't been a Martha Mitchell, there wouldn't have been a Watergate." Although he was referring to the destabilizing effect her behavior had on her husband, that statement might also be applied to the effect she had on the public which made them more likely to believe Woodward and Bernstein's articles on the scandal.
1Rick Rescorla
Rick Rescorla, a Cornish-born American soldier, served in Northern Rhodesia (current-day Zambia) and Vietnam, in the process becoming a staunch anti-communist. He first became famous at the Battle of Ia Drang, where a photo was taken that later appeared on the cover of the book We Were Soldiers Once . . . And Young. He then settled down in the US and became a security guard for Dean Witter Reynolds in the World Trade Center. While working there, he and his friend Daniel Hill spent some time assessing the security of the WTC. They both predicted that it could be effectively bombed by putting an explosives-laden truck in the underground parking lot, which Islamist terrorists did in 1993.
After that, Rescorla predicted that the Towers would be vulnerable to an airborne attack and advised his employers to move out of the building to a safer and cheaper location in New Jersey. His advice went unheeded, and Rescorla was last seen on September 11, 2001, trying to evacuate people from the South Tower. The US Department of Homeland Security instituted an award in his honor called the Rick Rescorla National Award for Resilience.

Can you quit a job during probation period without giving 2 weeks in advance notice?
the employment decided to extend my probation period for 1 more month. I feel like I'm being cheated. Their excuse was that I do not speak mandarin, yet they hired me. I want to quit now and leave them high and dry. Can i do it without giving a 2 week notice?
How would this effect my future employment with other companies?
yes, you can thats why its call probation if they were dissatified with you they would let you go without notice. when they hired you did they ask for 2 weeks notice during probation? if so then if i could i would give a 2 weeks notice.
but if not i wouldn't .
sure you can leave and not place them on your resume…or just say that i don't think your company is a good fit for me. And write a letter of resignation.
if you quit before giving two week notice i would never use them as a refrence. I would talk to there HR dept. and explain the situation to them and come to an agreement.

After this awkward family reunion, the couple was welcomed back into the Schuyler home, and Church stopped using his fake identity.
"There was another Revolutionary love-affair in General Schuyler's family which history has scarcely noted,- overshadowed as it is by that of Hamilton and his Betsey- and that is the elopement of Angelica, his eldest daughter with John Barker Church, a gentleman of fortune masquerading in America under the nom de guerre of Carter. The vivacious and clever Angelica, who far outshone the more retiring Elizabeth, met him at a Philadelphia assembly at the beginning of the war. Possessed of dashing manners and almost godlike beauty, it is small wonder that he attracted the attention of the maiden. From his mother, Elizabeth Barker, celebrated at the court of George III for her loveliness, he inherited the languishing blue eyes and finely-chiseled features which Reynolds and Cosway have immortalized. Although but a few years past his school days, he was already the hero of many adventures and a breaker of hearts. To escape a marriage with a wealthy kinswoman, whose Lowestoft estates joined his own, and the consequences of a duel, he fled from London without baggage or credentials; and it was under this assumed name that he wooed and won the most brilliant daughter of one of New York's first families. General Schuyler at first did not approve of the marriage, but through the influence of the Patroon Van Rensselaer, who encouraged and sheltered the young couple at his manor, he gradually relented, and finally received them with open arms at the Albany homestead.
He noted that despite Eliza's happiness with their early married life, it was important for Peggy to be cautious before making such a commitment.
Two years later, Peggy eloped with young Stephen van Rensselaer III. The marriage raised some eyebrows because Peggy was 25 and van Rensselar was only 19. The couple had three children, but only one, Stephen van Rensselaer IV, survived to adulthood. Peggy died at age 42 in 1801.

School boards ask an appeals court to put the student mask case on a fast track
WUSF Public Media - WUSF 89.7 | By News Service of Florida
In asking the appeals court to move quickly, attorneys for the school boards said the emergency rule is slated to expire Dec. 21 and is creating confusion for students, teachers and parents.
School boards are asking an appeals court to "expedite" consideration of a challenge to a Florida Department of Health rule aimed at preventing student mask requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Attorneys for the school boards in Miami-Dade, Leon, Duval, Broward and Alachua counties took the case Friday to the 4th District Court of Appeal in West Palm Beach after an administrative law judge upheld the emergency rule.
The boards filed a motion Monday asking the appeals court to put the case on a fast track.
The emergency rule, issued Sept. 22, said decisions to opt out of student mask requirements are at the "sole discretion" of parents or guardians. Also, it allowed students to attend school if they have been exposed to COVID-19 but are asymptomatic, preventing districts from requiring quarantines for those students.
The Florida Department of Education has used the rule as a basis to impose financial penalties on school districts that have required students to wear masks.
The school boards argued, in part, that the Department of Health overstepped its authority with the rule, which helped carry out a July 30 executive order by Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Administrative Law Judge Brian Newman issued a 25-page decision Friday rejecting the challenge.
In asking the appeals court to move quickly, the attorneys for the school boards said the emergency rule is slated to expire Dec. 21.
"Moreover, appellants (the school boards and Leon County Superintendent Rocky Hanna) are adversely affected by the new emergency rule, not only because of DOE's (the Department of Education's) enforcement and continuing penalties, but because the uncertainty surrounding the validity of appellants' existing mask and quarantine policies is creating administrative difficulties and confusion for hundreds of thousands of students, as well as their teachers and parents," the motion said. "Modification of those policies to achieve the compliance mandated by DOE would, in appellants' view, unquestionably increase serious health risks for all concerned."
In his ruling, Newman wrote that the school boards "failed to prove that the emergency rule opt-out provisions facilitate the spread of COVID-19 in schools."
"On the contrary, the evidence admitted in this case established that the emergency rule opt-out provisions strike the right balance by ensuring that the protocols that govern the control of COVID-19 in schools go no further than what is required to keep children safe and in school," Newman wrote.
The 4th District Court of Appeal, which is based in West Palm Beach, hears Broward County cases. Many challenges of rulings by administrative law judges are heard in the Tallahassee-based 1st District Court of Appeal. A panel of that court late last month issued a ruling in a separate case that indicated it thought school officials in Alachua and Duval counties violated state law by requiring students to wear masks.
The department issued an initial rule Aug. 6 and a revised --- and strengthened --- version Sept. 22. In addition to requiring that parents be able to opt out children from mask requirements, the revised rule allowed students to attend school if they have been exposed to COVID-19 but are asymptomatic, preventing districts from requiring quarantines for those students. That issue was not in the Aug. 6 version of the rule.
While the case moved forward before Newman, some of the districts scaled back or eliminated mask requirements as COVID-19 cases in the state dropped. For example, the Duval County and Orange County districts decided to allow parents to opt their children out of wearing masks. The Orange County School Board was a party in the case, but it was not listed as being part of the appeal.

The Episcopal Church embraces sex changes for children of 'all ages'
"Resolved, that the 80th General Convention calls for the Episcopal Church to advocate for access to gender affirming care in all forms (social, medical, or any other) and at all ages."
Christina ButtonsNashville, TN
The Episcopal Church has officially endorsed medical transition for trans-identified children "at all ages" with the adoption of Resolution D066. It affirms the church's support for "gender affirming care" of any type and for any age, including children.
The 80th General Convention was held in June of this year, where the bishops' and deputies' committees proposed 16 resolutions on topics ranging from abortion to election security. A final hearing was held in the evening on Resolution D066, that would call on the Episcopal Church "to advocate for access to gender-affirming care in all forms … and at all ages." The resolution was proposed in response to the laws recently passed in red states to safeguard children from irreversible treatments and surgeries, that the Episcopal Church calls "anti-transgender legislation."
Earlier this year, Rev. Gay Clark Jennings, the House of Deputies president of the Episcopal Church, sent a letter in response to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's ban medical treatments for minors who identify as transgender, such as puberty blockers, hormone therapy and transition surgery, which he called "child abuse." Jennings said in a letter to the House of Deputies that Abbott's "reprehensible statement" on transgender adolescents "puts some of the most vulnerable children in our society, and their families, in grave danger."
"Denying the full humanity of transgender people, putting beloved children of God at risk, and threatening to separate loving families is cruel and antithetical to the way of Jesus," Jennings said. "We must do all we can to protect the children whom Governor Abbott has targeted to advance his own political standing and, more broadly, to stop the wave of anti-transgender legislation sweeping across the United States."
Six people testified in favor of the resolution, including trans-identified clergy, parents of trans-identified children, and members of the group TransEpiscopal, a "group of transgender, nonbinary, and allied Episcopalians dedicated to fostering the full embrace of trans and nonbinary people," as they describe themselves on their website.
From the Episcopal House of Deputies Resolution:
"Resolved, that the 80th General Convention calls for the Episcopal Church to advocate for access to gender affirming care in all forms (social, medical, or any other) and at all ages as part of our Baptismal call to 'respect the dignity of every human being'; and be it further
Resolved, that the 80th General Convention affirms that all Episcopalians should be able to partake in gender affirming care with no restriction on movement, autonomy, or timing; and be it further
Resolved, that the 80th General Convention understands that the protection of religious liberty extends to all Episcopalians who may need or desire to access, to utilize, to aid others in the procurement of, or to offer gender affirming care; and be it further
Resolved, that this 80th General Convention supports public policies at the local, state, and national levels in all our countries to support gender affirming care."
"This is disturbing but not surprising. The Episcopal Church has been post-Christian for some time, and has fully bought into the premises of the transgender movement," said Jonathon Van Maren for Lifesite News.
"The Anglicans have released pastoral guidance on how to perform a special 'baptismal' service for transgender people with their new name and chosen gender; the Church of England has sought to actively recruit transgender clergy; former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams called on Boris Johnson to include transgenderism in his conversion therapy ban, despite warnings from experts who pointed out that it would actually prevent children from getting therapy they need to feel comfortable in their own bodies," said Van Maren.

Unfortunately our site is jacked up right now. The person I hired to build it didn't do a good job and the recent WordPress update blew it up. I hired another dev partner who worked on it for several days who couldn't quite get to the root of the problem. I spent quite a bit of time today getting it back to looking at least decent, but I'm still very unhappy. The site is based on the Genesis framework with is complete garbage. It's one of those systems that is dumbed down so much to make it easy for laypeople, that it's IMPOSSIBLE to unscrew when something goes wrong. I'm moving hosts and recoding my site from scratch by myself. If you want something done right, do it yourself. Sorry folks. Bear with me.


This winding railway looks like coming out from the thick woods. While my husband was driving, I held my pocket camera. Sometimes I can capture an interesting object like this railway. I don't remember where the spot is, but it's somewhere in Malangbong City (West Java Province, Indonesia).
It is an interesting object! It gives definition to the forest and farmland it runs through!
I agree with Dimple, the railroad adds a dimension to the forest.
You have so much detail here - forest and cleared areas, all set off by the curves of the railway.

I really like the contrasts Lina.
The tracks look like they are coming right out of the mountain...such a nice shot...it makes the me feel like I am there in the car with you. Lovely work.

Radford Highlanders (1-1) vs. Virginia Tech Hokies (2-0)
The Line: Virginia Tech Hokies -20.5 ; Over/Under: 134.5
The Radford Highlanders and the Virginia Tech Hokies meet Monday in college basketball action from Cassell Coliseum. Radford is 1-1 so far this year following a win over Emory & Henry and a loss to Virginia. As for Virginia Tech, they've won both their games so far, taking out Maine and Navy. Check back all season long for free college basketball picks at Sports Chat Place.
Radford opened up the year with a good effort versus Emory & Henry, scoring 45 in the first half on the way to an 84-72 win. The Highlanders' leading scorer was Camron McNeil, with 17 points, four rebounds and two assists off the bench.
Game two versus Virginia didn't go as well for Radford. The Highlanders fell 73-52 to Virginia following a massive 41-21 deficit at the break. Bryan Hard led the team on 12 points, while Shaquan Jules added 10 points and two boards.
Over on the Virginia Tech side, they jumped out to a 46-22 halftime lead in their opener versus Maine, eventually cruising to an 82-47 blowout win. Justyn Mutts posted 15 points with seven rebounds and six assists, and David N'Guessan added 15 points in 18 minutes of play.
In their second matchup of the year versus Navy, Virginia Tech kept it rolling. The Hokies put up another solid first half with a 45-27 edge, managing a 77-57 win at game's end. Keve Aluma was the leading scorer in that one with 20 points, six rebounds and one assist.
The Hokies are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Monday games. VT is 6-2 ATS in their last eight as a home favorite.
Meanwhile, the Highlanders are 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-6 ATS in their last seven overall. Radford is 4-1 ATS in their last five Monday games.
PICK: I'm going to stick with Virginia Tech. The Hokies have looked pretty impressive over their first couple of games. In the Navy matchup, Virginia Tech shot 50 percent from the floor and a nice 42.1 percent (8-of-19) from 3-point range. The Hokies out-rebounded the Midshipmen 35-29 as well.
As for Radford, there really wasn't much they could do scoring-wise versus Virginia, but they stayed competitive with a mild 32-30 rebounding deficit. This should be a similar game, though; I don't think the Highlanders will be able to keep up.

The Waste Management Association of Australia (WMAA) today welcomes the Queensland Palaszczuk's Government announcment of a reintroduction to state wide landfill levy.
The Queensland government has answered the industry and public's call for action due to a a small number of waste industry operators continuing to use irresponsible and dangerous practices including transportation of waste over many hundreds of kilometres to avoid paying landfill levies and gain a commercial advantage.
WMAA, Australia's peak national body for the waste and resource recovery industry, began calling on members, operators and stakeholders in the sector to sign a Waste of Origin Pledge in order for the industry to further the conversation with Government.
WMAA was the only waste and resource recovery association that actively called on the Queensland state government ahead of this announcement, and is continuing to work nationally with all state governements to achieve a national harmonised approach to waste and resource recovery management, to both ensure a level playing field for operators and ensure that this service is provided to the public in a professional and safe manner.
It is time for the States and the Commonwealth to work together with industry to create a circular economy within Australia by encouraging reduction, reuse, recycling, and manufacturing. The last piece of the puzzle is a harmonised approach to create a circular economy in Australia, wherein we can develop onshore local markets and create local employment (for every 10,000 tonnes of waste recycled, more than 9.2 jobs are created).

A photograph of Lord Justice Moriarty published in the Ballymena Telegraph, 8 May 1915, via British Newspaper Archive.
The character of Professor Moriarty in Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Sherlock Holmes' stories may have been inspired by Doyle's Stonyhurst classmate John Francis Moriarty, who subsequently went on to become an Irish barrister and judge of the Court of Appeal in Ireland. Not only that, but he also became one of that small but select category of barristers who end up marrying one of their clients.
The Ballymena Weekly Telegraph of 8 May 1915, in an article published at the time of Moriarty's unexpected death, stated as follows:
"His first wife was a very wealthy lady, possessed of a fortune of £26,000. The two paid a prolonged visit to America, and after an absence of four or five years, Mr Moriarty resumed his practice at the Irish Bar. His marriage with his second wife was of a romantic character. Her previous husband's will (by which she was a large beneficiary) was contested by some of his relations, and Mr Moriarty was engaged as her counsel in support of the will. While examining the lady in the witness-box, he fell in love with her, and, in due course, they were married."
Moriarty's obituary in the Sunday Independent of 3 May 1915 described him as
"an able and brilliant advocate… His incisive method of examining witnesses, was consummate, suave and subtle, and his graceful and fluent addresses were often adorned with neat literary allusions. He used to tell a story against himself in his young days of having a rough time with the Bench in a certain case, and when he came into the dressing room he flung down his wig, exclaiming disgustedly 'I've the greatest contempt for the law.' 'Ah, my dear Moriarty, said a caustic brother, that's not a contempt born of familiarity.'"
Moriarty was well-known for his use of the monocle in court, as well as for a habit of flicking his gown to celebrate scoring a point in cross-examination.
Serjeant Moriarty KC, cross-examining in the East Cork Election Petition case of 1911. The photo is from the Daily Mirror, 24 April 1911, via British Newspaper Archive.
The case in which Moriarty met his second wife was Martyn v Dolphin, a dispute relating to a will of Hubert Dolphin, of Galway, which had been re-executed shortly before his death to remove a gift to his sister, Mrs Martyn. Moriarty succeeded in rebutting allegations that Mr Dolphin's signature on this final will had been forged by his much younger wife, Mabel. Mabel had married Mr Dolphin as a child bride and was still only in her mid-twenties at the time of his death.
Some of the evidence in Martyn v Dolphin, as reported in the Weekly Irish Times, 27 June 1908. The witness being examined was Kate Killigher, a servant of the Dolphins, whose anonymous letter to Mrs Martyn regarding the alleged forgery had prompted the case, and who was pejoratively described by Moriarty as 'half-witted'.
Mabel and Moriarty married not long after Martyn v Dolphin's successful conclusion in 1908 but did not live happily ever after. Moriarty died unexpectedly in 1915, less than two years after having been made a Lord Justice of the Irish Court of Appeal.
An obituary giving details of the circumstances of Moriarty's death, also published in the Ballymena Weekly Telegraph of 8 May 1915, via British Newspaper Archive.
Mabel had recovered quickly after the death of her first husband and she moved on even more quickly after the death of Moriarty, marrying again a mere six months later to Captain Robert Francis Guy, a man of her own age. She was widowed again for the third time when Captain Guy died prematurely in 1927. Not long before his death he had been involved in a car accident near Stonehenge, Wiltshire, in which a woman was killed. Mabel – whom tragedy seemed to follow throughout her life – was in the car at the time.
Is the moral of this story that a barrister should never marry their client?

Fan Fiction Sites
Slayer's Fanfic Archive This was the first major Buffy fanfiction site, and for quite a while was the one to which all others aspired. It was also the largest, with a huge author selection, including some fine names and excellent stories. Programming difficulties — and a change of ownership — kept it in stasis for years, but now it's back to full activity. The new site interface allows an author most of the personalized story entry/editing capabilities first available with Fanfiction.net; the previous collection of stories is being gradually reinstated, and there are many new authors. A good community site, and still a good place to look for decent fic.
Sunnydale Slayers A smaller, high-quality site. The ratio of really good stories is higher than at SFA, because the site managers only post from a small pool of known writers. Some fine fiction to be found here (and mine, too, now, but that's beside the point). Plus, while you're at it, don't fail to check out their Angel Annex.
the Better Buffy Fiction Archive The BetterBuffyFics mailing list operates like a book club, wherein the members recommend their own favorite stories and authors; as the title indicates, the list is dedicated to finding quality work (and one of the rules is that members can't recommend their own stories). After more than two years of operation, the list moderators decided to set up an archive site, and the initial stories on that site were selected by popular vote of the list members. The archive files are straight text — no formatting whatsoever, which saves on server space but could affect how some stories are read — and the list's tastes are substantially different from my own, especially in the predominance of Buffy/Spike stories chosen. However, given that this site began with a determination to find and share the BEST Buffyfic, it's definitely worth checking out. Many of the authors will be familiar, and the calibre of the stories is well above the average. Give it a shot.
BFA (the Buffy Fiction Archive) Yet another in the series of sites attempting to fill the gap left by the long inactivity of the Slayer's Fanfic Archive, the similarly-named BFA shows more promise than most of being able to pull it off. Their posting interface clearly has quite a bit of thought behind it, though I haven't checked to see how well it works, and only completed stories are accepted (a major step that I believe all archives should follow). Most telling is the search engine that serves as the main — if not only — access to the stories themselves. A highly detailed behemoth, it allows selection by multiple criteria, including genre, rating, characters, pairings, author, title, and keywords. Still building a constituency, this site has already passed the point of being one to watch; now the only question is how far it will go.
Ignis Verbis
(A Fire of Words) Graphically beautiful and thematically well-organized, this site was developed to collect the best Buffyfic available, and while I may not always agree with the site owner's tastes, there is no denying the quality of the stories archived here. You'll still have to keep looking to find something you really like, but you'll be starting from a good source pool.
the Darker Side of Sunnydale As its name indicates, darker stories are the theme of this site. I can handle the occasional noir piece, but the're like anchovies: I get tired of them quickly when I have several in a row. My own preferences aside, this serves as home to some top-quality fics and authors; my first exposure to Dreamsmith was through tDSoS, so it's not to be ignored or underestimated.
Eterniata Eros [Unbound] This site is oriented toward "adult" material, an area that usually holds little appeal for me. Many extremely good writers can be found here, however. I name no favorites, leaving that to individual tastes.
FanFiction.net My initial review of this site was less than favorable, and with some reason. This is an enormous collection of fanfic, dealing with almost every genre one could name, though Buffy is the largest single subheading in the "TV Shows" section. Presumably to save server space, the formatting and layout are bare-bones basic; worse, the quality of submissions starts at illiterate and works its way up. Major names like Yahtzee maintain a presence at this site, so there is quality work to be found here, but with literally thousands of stories to wade through, locating the good ones can be a serious headache.
On the other hand, it's a great find if you're looking for a place to post your work and retain some control. The file upload page seems to work without a glitch, with an edit/update section for anyone wishing to correct, add to or alter such of his/her material as is already on file. The setup encourages feedback ("reviews") from the readers, and as any earnest ficcer knows, that is no small consideration. After more than a year of turning my nose up at this site, I now have copies of my own stories posted there. As a fanfic collection, this is a hodgepodge to be sifted carefully; as a community resource, it fills much of the purpose once served so ably by the Slayer's Fanfic Archive.
Sonja Marie's Buffy Fanfiction Links Not really a fanfiction site in itself, this page carries a collection of links to fanfic sites that is probably the largest on the web. There are some general site categories, but the sheer mass of information here makes this a resource to be mined. If you're an insatiable (or compulsive) Buffy fanfic reader, this one will keep you busy for awhile.
Resource and Community Sites
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Official Site Finally, with the advent of Season Six, UPN has posted a site to replace the now-defunct WB official Buffy page. As a brand-new offering, it will have to be evaluated over time, but appears to be a good beginning.
Sonja Marie's Buffy the Vampire Slayer Links Index The larger site from which Sonja Marie's Buffy fanfiction links site (above) is derived, this is a collection of links to various Buffy sites that a serious fan is sure to find of interest or use. Buffyguide.com says there are more than 5,000 links to be found here, and I believe it.
The Buffy Cross and Stake Once hosted by Slayer.simplenet.com, this site contains a decent episode summary section and links to other resources. Worth a look at least.
the Council of Watchers This site calls itself "The definitive resource for episode reviews, rankings, and ratings of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel." Whether or not it lives up to that billing, it's definitely worth investigating. The graphic design is nice, site organization is relatively clean, and the writing in most of the segments is more than acceptable. I'll be checking this site on a regular basis from now on.
Posting Boards
UPN's Buffy Posting Board The WB's posting board was at one time the single richest source of online discussion and rumors regarding Buffy facts and opinions, so it's not unreasonable to assume that the UPN replacement will operate in much the same way. Though still in the process of building a constituency and history, this is nonetheless a place to watch.
BtVS Writer's Guild Message Board This site has sadly diminished since its inception. The posting board for the BtVS Writer's Guild, it carried some highly intelligent observation and discussion; several of the regulars from the SFA Posting Board (now defunct) also frequented the Writer's Forum, though not always under the same names, and the actual-in-practice discussion focus was geared more toward fanfiction and less toward episode review or speculation about the direction the series was taking. It was never as well known as the other posting boards, however, and traffic faded after the first flush of discovery; furthermore, the home site (and posting board) recently relocated, and all previous posts were lost in the process. A shame, because quality was quite high and the citizenry of good calibre.
Buffyguide.com Forums Buffyguide.com actually has six posting boards available, plus a chat section, and this link goes to the Forums page. Though I haven't had a chance to check these out myself, the excellence of Buffyguide.com's other work makes this automatically worth a look.
Award Sites
Note: My personal interest is in fanfic only, so 1) I don't profile sites with no — or severely limited — fanfic categories, and 2) my reviews of such sites pay no attention to their non-fanfic offerings. Just so you know.
Disclaimer: I've received awards from some of the sites listed below. I try not to play favorites because of that, but in any case you've been notified.
Undead Awards If not the first of the major Buffyfic awards, certainly the first I ever heard of. The most recent word is that they've closed; while this may change, the likelihood is that this institution has fallen victim to the vicissitudes of Real Life. Shudder.
Noir Awards Once dispensed from the Addictive Stigmata site, these are now strictly recommendations, though because of their past status they still carry weight. Oriented toward the darker side of darkfic, they focus on stories so extreme that the darkness almost overshadows the quality. Since that same tendency is strongly pronounced in fan response, it can be considered fairly representative of Buffy fanfic even if you don't particularly care for it (and I don't).
Halo Awards This is one of the newest set of awards to carry any genuine prestige, and deserves it. A great deal of care and thought have gone into formulating how Halos are handed out. To begin with, the decision in each category is made by a panel of judges, rather than by popular vote: not a guarantor of objectivity, but certainly an aid. Additionally, there are several rules for the individual categories: no author may be nominated more than once per category; no story may be nominated in more than three categories; no author may be nominated in any category which he/she won in the previous season's awards; and no author may win in more than one category per season. This can produce some interesting results, but the intent is to give new fiction a chance against some of the established favorites. However one may feel about the announced winners, the list of Halo nominees is an excellent place to begin when seeking Buffy fiction of the highest order.
All or Nothing Awards This site caught my notice because of graphics that are beautifully stylish and periodically updated, a variety of categories for which awards are given, and the requisite panel of judges. (It also initially excluded slash submissions, which is fine with me, but may not stand up under negative peer response.) Still making itself known in fan circles, it could be one to watch.
Pure Bliss Widely recognized in many areas as one of the best new award sites, Pure Bliss has more different categories for fanfic than any other site I've ever seen. It also allows for multiple submissions of a single story in different categories (not always a good thing). Consequently, the number of submissions and authors isn't actually as large as it first appears … but give it time, I have no doubt that this one will grow.
SBA The "Schmuck Bait Twisty Plot Award for Fanfic Excellence" (presented by the Schmuck Bait site) is far from being a big-league, prestigious award. The sponsoring site is relatively obscure, and presentation apparently done on an unabashedly subjective basis. I mention it here for two reasons. First, the site's recommendations list includes many of my own favorite stories, including "I-55", "Beats a Cruel December", and "techsupport@demon.com". Second, the site owner bestowed on me the first fanfic award(s) I myself ever received. Sincere thanks, and keep encouraging the authors. There's never enough of that.
Scooby Awards These awards were offered by the "Very Suave, Very Not Pathetic Slayerette Site" (http://slayerette.org/), and could be seen as the direct opposite of the Halo. No central award information can be found, the categories were haphazard (and apparently created on the spot), and the meaning of the award itself is not exactly clear. Since slayerette.org's last official update was in December of 2000, one may assume these awards are no longer viable until contrary information becomes available.
Surrender Awards A relative newcomer, Surrender completed its first round of awards in May of 2002. Like most other judge-based sites (including Halo and All or Nothing), it actively recruits from readers and viewers for its judging. As this one becomes better known, it may acquire more submissions (including the 'big names' that tend to dominate Buffyfic awards), but for now it's a nice place for newer or lower-profile authors to submit their work.
Writing/Research Aid Sites
BtVS Writer's Guild This is a thoroughly decent place for a prospective Buffy fanfic writer to begin. Though downgraded somewhat from its earlier presence, the Writer's Guild has a list of volunteer beta readers and connections to other pertinent sites. Their posting board (cited above) was once first-rate, but has now started over from scratch.
Resources for Writers This is an enormously useful site for anyone interested in writing well, with links to all kinds of useful tools, and articles on various aspects of writing, fiction, fandom, copyright issues, and the like.
Once Upon a Time Back at FanFiction.Net after several months of absence, this is one of the best online columns on fanfic writing to be found. (The link here leads to the FanFiction.Net main page, from which the column can be selected from the menu.) The author, a Halo Award winner for Angel fanfiction, is enormously well-qualified to advise, opine, and judge, and any ambitious author would do well to consult her columns archive.
Buffyguide.com The site of unquestionably the best Buffy episode guide to be found on the web, this one stood out even before a major upgrade, and now is beyond compare. There are plenty of other useful links as well, enough that this would be on my favorites list even without the episode guide.
Buffyworld.com This site was an unexpected gem of a find, in that it contains copies of all the transcripts AleXander did before he was forced by the Fox lawyers to remove his offerings from the SFA. Following the transcript for Earshot, the work is taken up by different transcriptionists; while the dialogue appears to be accurate, there is considerably less of the background detail that made AleXander's products so useful and appealing, but it still is a useful resource for anyone wanting to establish the facts of canon.
Psyche: Transcripts & Fanfiction For a long time I saw this site as a secondary and less desirable source of episode transcripts. In actual fact, the transcripts themselves are the same as those found at Buffyworld; the HTML versions are formatted in a way that I find easier to read than their Buffyworld counterparts, and there are text versions also available. The site itself is graphically less impressive, but the material is solid.
TV Data Links for Buffy and Angel Not especially informative in themselves, these sites can be an extremely useful supplement for someone seeking information about a specific episode, character, or actor. Used in conjunction with the official Buffy site, episode guides available at several fanfiction sites, and program transcripts (see above), almost any canonical fact can be established to some degree or another.
Mustreadtv.com Once a place where one could find copies of actual shooting scripts for Buffy episodes, this site no longer provides that service following a cease-and-desist notice from Fox lawyers. I'm leaving up the link in case anything changes.

Q: AJAX update post_meta not updating the_modified_date Wondering if someone knows a way to trigger an update to the_modified_date of a post when using AJAX to change post_meta?
I believe that this is caused because there is no add_action( 'save_post' passed in the AJAX and is only updating the DB directly.
Can this be done via JS or is it a question of adding to the PHP function?

A: If you need to change your post modified date, then you need to update the post, not post meta.
I'm sending you simple example how to do that, and for sure that is on the php realm, either in functions.php file or inside your custom plugin file. X is the post number (integer)
$post = array(
    'post_modified'  => date(),
    'post_modified_gmt'   => date(),
    'ID'          => X, // $post->ID;
);
// update post
wp_update_post( $post );

You can change your date via ajax for sure, but for that you need to use use native WP wp_ajax_(action) hook and a little javascript(jQuery).. take a look here for more info: https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference/wp_ajax_(action)

Your question is very vague and can lead to so many directions that we as community can't possibly know what you really want.. You should post questions that are mcve but if you can't then you should share as much code with us as you can!
OK, I'm gonna hope that maybe, this can be of help to someone who finds it via search engines in the future.

« Awesome News: That $9 Trillion Deficit Everyone Was Freaked Out By? That's Low Balling It. | Main | NYT Liberal Economist and Obama-Booster Paul Krugman: I Believe in the End the Government Option "Would, in the End, Kill the Private Plans" »
No One Saw That Coming: Byrd Wants to Name Socialist Government Health Care Bill After Kennedy
Flashback: Soros' Website Media Matters Castigated Rush Limbaugh for Accurately Predicting Just This
Flashback Update: Rush predicted: ""Before it's all over, it'll be called the Ted Kennedy memorial health care bill""
He was scolded for it. And not just by Soros' internet hacks, either.
Does George Soros and the MSM owe Limbaugh a retraction/apology for, you know, being right and everything?
Thanks to Amish Dude.
ChappaquiddiCare.
(Hey, if they want to brand the man and use him for politics, it's fair game.)
"In his honor and as a tribute to his commitment to his ideals, let us stop the shouting and name calling and have a civilized debate on health care reform which I hope, when legislation has been signed into law, will bear his name for his commitment to insuring the health of every American," Byrd said.
New amendment: Doctors will be required to examine you with a Chivas Regal in hand and without pants.
Chivas Regal Succession: A more balanced portrait of Kennedy than you'll find in the MSM from Jules Crittendon.
Regarding Kennedy himself, they don't exactly need to fire up the hagiography. Ted Kennedy's image enhancement has been a life-long project that only requires the bow of a national funeral extravaganza. Served in the Army, 51-53, didn't go to Korea, overcame a Harvard cheating scandal, slid into his big brother's seat, held for him till he was old enough, dodged responsibility in the death of Mary jo Kopechne, though whether he dodged consequences is debatable. It's hard to image anyone else holding a Senate seat after that, but he didn't get to be president.
The Warden tips me that the AP's bio only mentions Mary Jo Kopechne in an an attack on Republicans for being so uncouth to mention criminally negligent homicide.
As the most prominent liberal of his day, Kennedy was long an easy and popular target for Republicans. The automobile accident that resulted in the death of a young Pennsylvania woman, Mary Jo Kopechne, drew snickers both before and after it shadowed his presidential campaign in 1980. Kennedy was driving the car in the accident at Chappaquiddick.
The AP sure is distancing Kennedy from the manslaughter with that passive voice, eh? I can almost make out the line they wanted to use but then deleted as going too far: "In many ways, Ted Kennedy was the true victim of Chappaquiddick..."
Let's Win One for the Zipper: The left, including the wonderful Andy Stern of SEIU, is determined to use Kennedy's death for political advantage.
Andy Stern, president of the Service Employees International Union, also issued a statement this morning calling for the passage of health care overhaul. "Let us continue his cause," Stern said. "Let us take action this year to pass health care reform. And let us continue to build Kennedy's vision of America."
And Madame "Palomino" Pelosi, as well:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office sent an email to reporters at around 2:30 a.m. today, just hours after his death, calling for the passage of health care overhaul. "Ted Kennedy's dream of quality health care for all Americans will be made real this year because of his leadership and his inspiration," the statement read.
Well, since they're insisting on doing that, I'll run this pic from the Devil's Advocate. I wasn't going to -- thought it was too much and too early -- but if we've gone from death panels to death politicking I guess it's fair game (content warning for taste and macabre imagery).
You Definitely Won't See This in the AP: A very tough look back at Kennedy.
Oh Dear: Chris Matthews proclaims Barack Obama "the last [Kennedy] brother."
To Be Buried at Arlington: Sure, why not. He gave his liver for his country.
All those vets buried there will be comforted to know their bones rest in the company of a true hero.

Chapter 191 Voucher Parking
[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of New Hyde Park 7-20-1995. Amendments noted where applicable.]
Vehicles and traffic — See Ch. 189.
For the purposes of this chapter, the following words, terms or phrases shall have the meanings ascribed hereinbelow:
AUTHORIZED PARKING VOUCHER
Any preprinted one-time-use voucher parking card or device, authorized and licensed for sale by the village and having the legal parking time limit and prepayable related parking fee already imprinted on the face thereof, designed to be activated for use by the owner or operator of a motor vehicle, and then displayed in the driver's window thereof, immediately upon the parking or standing of such vehicle, during applicable hours of operation, in any designated and posted voucher parking space or voucher parking zone within the village, as prescribed and regulated under or pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
VOUCHER PARKING ZONE/VOUCHER PARKING SPACE
Any duly posted and unmetered on-street locations, or any duly posted and unmetered spaces or sections in a MOPS facility, established and regulated pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and more particularly designated and described in § 191-2 of this chapter or in any amendatory order or schedule hereafter adopted with reference hereto.
The following locations, heretofore established as long-term metered parking zones, are hereby converted to, and reestablished as, long-term voucher parking zones, in which latter zones the parking and standing of motor vehicles, on and after the effective date of this chapter and during designated hours of operation, shall be subject to, and regulated and enforced in accordance with, the provisions of this chapter:
The southerly side of Plaza Avenue, from its intersection with the east side of Herkomer Street, running thence easterly to its intersection with the west side of New Hyde Park Road.
The northerly side of 2nd Avenue, from its intersection with the east side of Herkomer Street, running thence easterly to its intersection with the west side of New Hyde Park Road.

The establishment of voucher parking zones in the locations designated in § 191-2 hereinabove shall not serve to convert or repeal, supersede or otherwise affect any parking space or spaces either heretofore or hereafter designated and properly posted as Special Permit Parking District spaces under § 189-37 or any related schedule, or as short-term metered parking spaces under Article IV, or any related schedule, set forth in Chapter 189 of the Village Code.
Voucher parking shall be deemed to be in force and effect for the purposes of this chapter, in all on-street voucher parking zones designated under § 191-2 hereinabove, between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., prevailing time, of every day except Saturdays and Sundays and legal holidays; provided, however, that when and where any different hours of operation shall be specified and posted for any particular on-street voucher zone by any separate and/or subsequent order of the Board of Trustees, such different posted hours of operation shall be deemed to supersede those specified in this section, and shall solely apply to and exclusively govern the posted zone or space(s), for all purposes under or in connection with this chapter.
[Amended 7-10-2001]
The maximum parking time limit for all vehicles parked or standing in a designated on-street voucher parking zone, during established hours of operation, shall be the posted time limit for that particular zone or particular space. Subject to the maximum posted limits described above, the legal individual time limit for any particular vehicle shall be the prepaid and imprinted parking time limit shown upon a current, activated and unexpired authorized parking voucher displayed, as required by the instructions on such voucher, in the driver's window of that vehicle.
During any period constituting the applicable hours of operation for voucher parking under or pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, no person shall at any time park or stand any motor vehicle in any designated on-street voucher parking zone without having first activated, and then displayed upon such vehicle, one or more prepaid authorized parking voucher(s) approved for such use, as prescribed and directed by the instructions imprinted upon or accompanying such voucher(s); and no person shall continue to park or stand such vehicle in any such zone or space during such hours of operation after the expiration of the legal time limit provided for and appearing upon the face of any such voucher(s), nor in any event beyond the maximum parking time limit posted for that zone or space, as referred to and provided for in Subsection B of this section, hereinabove.
Every voucher parking zone designated under § 191-2 of this chapter, hereinabove, shall be a long-term (i.e., all-day) voucher parking zone. Within every such zone, only authorized long-term parking vouchers officially licensed by and sold on behalf of the Village of New Hyde Park shall be used by any person when parking or standing a motor vehicle, for any duration, in any parking space regulated and posted as a voucher-required parking space controlled by that zone. The fee for every authorized long-term parking voucher shall be as set forth in § 1-32 of Article III of Chapter 1 of the Village Code per individual daily voucher, and such vouchers shall be made available for sale at such price, and may be purchased by the public in advance of their use, at any authorized retail voucher sales agent outlet located within the Village, during regular business hours.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, or the provisions of any article, section or subsection of Chapter 189 of the Village Code, the Board of Trustees hereby reserves the power and authority to temporarily suspend voucher parking regulations in any or all voucher parking zones designated under this chapter: on any Village or other locally observed holiday; during snowstorms, hurricanes or other natural disasters or during Village-declared weather or other emergencies; or for or during any Village-sponsored or Village-authorized public events, parades or other special public celebrations; when and if, in the opinion of such Board, such temporary suspension is deemed to be in the best interests of the Village or is otherwise deemed to be required to protect or preserve public health, safety, welfare or convenience.
Pursuant to § 189-46 of Article VIII of Chapter 189 of the Village Code, a violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall constitute a traffic infraction and shall be punishable in accordance with the provisions of said Article VIII, in the same manner and to the same degree as other offenses against the provisions of said chapter; except that, for the purposes of this chapter, and pursuant to the authority of § 189-47A of said chapter: a fixed fine of $25 is hereby prescribed as the penalty for any overtime parking offense in violation of the provisions of § 191-4 of this chapter; a fixed fine of $20 is hereby prescribed as the penalty for any failure to properly display an authorized parking voucher as instructed, and when required, in violation of the provisions of § 191-4 hereof; a fixed fine of $50 is hereby prescribed as the penalty for parking in a designated voucher parking zone without an authorized parking voucher, in violation of the provisions of § 191-4 hereof; and a fixed fine of $75 is hereby prescribed as the penalty for the use at any time in a voucher parking zone of any unlicensed, unauthorized, fraudulent altered or reproduced or other illegally duplicated parking vouchers, in violation of the provisions § 191-5 of this chapter.

Tuesday, May 17, 2016 — There are lots of awards out there. But the biggest honour is when the people you admire don't just award your work or wish they had done it themselves, but actually do it themselves. Therefore, Boondoggle is honoured to see Jung von Matt re-do its "adblock recruiting" case, launched in November last year.
With this campaign, Boondoggle recruited the kind of advertising people who use an adblocker. Because they are more likely to create a different kind of campaign.
We reached this target group by using a plugin that detects adblock users, on the 3 major sites, visited by people from the industry: mm.be, pub.be and bloovi.be. The case movie can be viewed here.
It received quite a lot of attention from the likes of Adweek and Think With Google, and picked up a few national awards so far. A nice compliment from the industry.
Now, the cherry is on the cake: seven months after our initial launch Jung von Matt launched a campaign, titled: "how we used adblockers as a recruiting tool". It detected adblock users on the Jung von Matt website, and showed them a recruiting message.
Jung von Matt has been the most succesful creative agency in Germany over the past 20 years, and a regular winner at Cannes Lions.
Boondoggle is just happy to be in this press release. And would be more than happy to offer the makers of the Jung von Matt campaign a job at our offices in Leuven. Because great minds think alike.


(JTA) — Jews from Belgium's Flemish Region said they "lost all confidence" in the country's anti-racism authority over its lawyer's defense of a Palestinian man whom the lawyer helped convict for hate speech over calls to slaughter Jews.
The unusual rebuke Thursday by the Forum of Jewish Organization of Flanders came after the Jewish weekly Joods Actueel published a leaked email written by Johan Otte, a judicial expert of the Interfederal Centre for Equal Opportunities, or UNIA, condemning Tuesday's conviction for incitement to violence by a criminal tribunal in Antwerp. In 2014, the man shouted anti-Semitic slogans during a protest rally in that city.
The Belgian Palestinian, according to the media in Belgium, was given a six-month suspended sentence. Two co-defendants were acquitted.
Otte's rebuke called the sentence "distorted justice instead of true justice," even though UNIA was one of two complainants who had initiated the trial. The other party was the Flemish Jewish forum.
"The email clearly illustrates that UNIA's sympathy lies with the perpetrator over his would-be victims," the Jewish group wrote in its statement.
According to the Gazet van Antwerpen daily, the defendant, who is appealing his sentence, shouted about Khaybar – a place in modern-day Saudi Arabia where in the seventh-century, Muslims massacred and expelled Jews. According to Joods Actueel, the defendant also shouted about slaughtering Jews.
Joods Actueel editor-in-chief Michael Freilich said the case was the latest in a list of failures to confront anti-Semitism by the Belgian state authority for fighting racism. He added UNIA's track record suggests "it is only paying lip service" to the fight against anti-Semitism when in reality it fails to act on this type of racism as vigorously as it confronts other forms of xenophobia.
UNIA's press service did not reply to requests for comment by JTA and Joods Actueel.
On Friday, Liesbeth Homans, the minister in charge of equal opportunities within the government of the Flemish Region — one of three entities that make up the federal Belgian state — called for a review of UNIA activities in light of the Joods Actueel report.
