Is torrenting illegal in Canada
Mikaela Bray
We live in a day and age when people in the Western world fear of being arrested for things they say and/or do on the internet, and we mean that literally. Hence, today's topic is dedicated to our readers in Canada: is torrenting illegal in Canada?
Without too much ado, let's get right into the meat of the topic.
Is torrenting illegal in Canada?
TL;DR: No.
Canada is a very interesting country in regard to enforcing copyright laws. On one hand, Canada's criminal code did not cover copyright infringement issues, such as torrenting and the like. On the other hand, if you download "sensitive" stuff that makes for criminalized content, you may fall under Canada's criminal code and face fines and even jail time. As usual, everything revolves around the nature of the content you're downloading via torrenting, not on the technology, per se.
Torrenting in Canada
Canadians and torrenting are synonymous, as file sharing is common practice for downloading all types of content in Canada, whether we're talking about copyright-protected content or otherwise. According to OECD reports, Canada used to boast the highest percentage of population in the world using torrents back in 2004, but nowadays, Canada hardly makes the top-ten in regard to downloading copyrighted contend. However, torrenting is still very popular in Canada, due to the country's top-notch internet infrastructure which offers some of the fastest download-speeds in the world.
Hence, torrenting movies and TV shows (entertainment related contend mostly) has become increasingly popular, especially for the past few years, as well as downloading books, songs, and documentaries. Speaking of the popularity of torrents in Canada, according to official consumer surveys, 75 percent of Canada's netizens are in good standing as far as copyright law is concerned, i.e. the vast majority of Canadians claim to never download copyrighted content.
However, approximately five percent of Canadians who access TV, movies, and other types of digital content online say they consume the respective content illegally. The federally commissioned survey interviewed over 3300 Canadians over the age of twelve.
Yet, a poll conducted by Kantar TNS which interviewed Canadian senior citizens (over 65 years of age) found that half of the netizens surveyed are acquiring at least part of their digital entertainment via illegal means. One in four Canadians say they ignore notices of copyright infringement from their ISPs, which means that at least 25 percent of Canadians consume pirated content one way or the other, torrenting included. The demographic lines in regard to copyright infringement in Canada are rather blurry, regardless of region (rural/urban), gender and employment status. Yet, piracy seems to be more frequent among the young, and strangely enough, among rich Canadians (household incomes of $100,000 or more). The study found that "Relative to total internet users, torrenting users are more likely to be male (62%) and are predominantly 18 to 34 (52%) years of age."
Legal documents defining the use of torrent sites/files
Canada's legislation with regard to torrenting revolves around the Copyright Modernization Act that was introduced back in 2011. Here a couple of excerpts from the law that may be interesting to torrenting aficionados from Canada:
-Limits the amount of statutory damages for cases of non-commercial infringement to between $100 and $5,000 for all infringements in a single proceeding for all works. Statutory damages for commercial infringement range from $500 to $20,000 per work infringed.
-Adopts a "notice-and-notice" regime which requires ISPs to forward any notice alleging infringement received from copyright owners to the subscribers in question.
Legal consequences for torrenting of copyrighted material in Canada
Torrenting copyrighted material in Canada (provided you get caught in the act) is not a criminal but a civil offense, which means that, worst case scenario, you'll receive a fine, but you'll not be facing jail time. For non-commercial copyright infringements, the minimum fine is $100, while the maximum stands at $5,000 (for all infringements in a particular lawsuit, not per infringement).
Torrenting-related lawsuit statistics in Canada
According to Canadian newspapers, copyright holders started cracking down on internet pirates following a law passed back in 2016, which requires internet service providers to send email notices to their clients who are caught downloading copyrighted content.
Even if most people ignore these email notices, as they're not literal threats of legal action, approximately 1000 Canadians were sued since 2017 by movie right holders. In some cases, Canada's federal courts have ordered "online-pirates" to pay statutory damages to the tune of $5,000 apiece to LHF Productions LLC and Headhunter LLC. There are also unknown numbers of people involved in John-Doe lawsuits who have paid undisclosed settlements on alleged copyright infringements.

The film studios have been taking action against people downloading shows and movies illegally for some time now. The suspects are targeted and tracked through their internet service providers (ISPs). just be careful and make sure you use a VPN to mask your identity when you torrent movies
Dammy Gosh April 7, 2019 at 5:19 pm
Astril VPN is your recommendation? That's cool, I guess I need to switch and see what Astril has to offer. The Seychelles base of the company is an added advantage for the platform as it makes it more convenient to protect personal information.

Basically, Canada's constitution does not make a clearly defined reaction to torrenting on copyright infringement issues. Interestingly, Canada is one country that won't compromise in regard to enforcing copyright laws. Except the constitution is clearly defined, there may still be the confusion on this position
Alana Hinger March 30, 2019 at 4:00 am
Honestly I think this should be illegal everywhere. Sadly it isn't and I don't agree with that at all.

Netaji's vision is relevant for Amrit Kaal: Vikram Diesh
New Delhi, January 21: "Inspired by the values of India's civilization and composite cultural identity and endowed with a scientific temper, Netaji embarked on a mission whose relevance continues even today," said Veteran Sqn Ldr Vikram Diesh at the Friday Dialogue organized by the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC). DG IIMC, Prof. (Dr.) Sanjay Dwivedi, Dean (Student Welfare) Prof. Pramod Kumar, Regional Directors, faculty members, and students from all IIMC Regional Centers were present on the occasion.
Expressing views on the topic 'Amrit Kaal & the Vision of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose', Sqn Ldr Vikram Diesh said that Netaji's roadmap comprised a rich legacy of ideas, ideals, and dreams for a free India and how the post-colonial nation should shape up socially, economically and in delivering governance. He added that Netaji reminded citizens to never lose faith in the destiny of India. He aspired to raise India's prestige to such an extent that a free India would be a force to reckon with in the global world order.
Sqn Ldr Vikram Diesh said that Netaji was a champion of gender equality and his vision was to build a nation where men and women not only have the same rights but can also deliver the same duties, this today is reflected in women being involved in combat roles as they command air force and army units. Adding to it he said, Netaji was not only a pioneer of economic planning but also a strong believer in the application of science and technology for development.
The program was moderated by Saloni Saini, Associate, Outreach Activities, Welcome address was delivered by Dr. Rachna Sharma, Course Director, Digital Media, and the vote of thanks was given by Bhavna Acharya, Assistant Professor, Dhenkanal.

After the rupee plunged to new lows against the dollar, having depreciated to close to 73, the government has finally acted by announcing a slew of measures to prop up the currency.
After the rupee plunged to new lows against the dollar, having depreciated to close to 73, the government has finally acted by announcing a slew of measures to prop up the currency. In the past, the Reserve Bank of India has also been using foreign reserves to stabilise the rupee. Some say the interest rate tool will be used next by increasing the repo rate by 25-50 basis points in the next monetary policy.
Globally, after Turkey and Argentina, the focus is shifting now to Brazil. But should the United States make the expected announcement on another set of tariffs on Chinese goods - worth $200 billion - all emerging markets will be thrown into panic. The outlook for the rupee isn't looking better.


"What is it like to begin again?"
I relate our lives to the little things that we forget we accomplished in our younger days of existence.
It is like jumping off a diving board for the first time, afraid to break away from gravity's comforting hold. The pool has never been an opposing threat to us, just a large body of water confined in the symmetrical linings of concrete. We wonder why this body of water is so blue, so tranquil though it is man-made. Are we crazy for making something so beautiful but we destroy our inner created beauty at the same time?
We know the leap of faith towards the unknown is out of our control, but the reward is euphoric. We close our eyes as the cold blue water hugs our bodies and we awake from those feelings of uncertainty. A smile emerges from our lips as we resurface back to the rippling waters of reality. Life does go on, with or without you. Despite the bursts of uncertainty and self-doubt, we accomplished our goal(s) and are here now. What once has been horrifying to comprehend is now our strength. To whoever is reading this, we are all going to be okay in this life. You are going to be okay.


Few people may know this, but individuals who play video games are among the smartest in the world. If you, on the other hand, feel this little tidbit of information is potentially inaccurate, we encourage you to ask a gamer. It doesn't matter if you play XBOX, Playstation, Wii, or PC. People who play video games are actively honing their skills of deduction and concentration. The problem, however, is that gamers don't tend to get out much. Perhaps, instead of playing Tomb Raider & Settlers of Catan, you will want to visit Escape the Space (at 540 Hawthorne Ave) to see if you have what it takes...SO, RISE UP GAMERS! Now is your chance. Put down the controller and JOIN THE FUN!

Q: scala observable unify observable with a sequence without intermediate datastructure update I have a code which calls couchbase for getting some rows as following:
val gotValues: Observable[JsonDocument] = Observable.from(rowKeys).flatMap(id =>
      couchbaseBucket.async().get(id))

If I have 1,2,3,4,5,6 as input row-keys and only rows 1,2,3 exist in the DB then the observable would get notified only about 1,2,3.
My requirement however is that I return a map with 1,2,3 true (exist in db) and 4,5,6 with false, (meaning not exist in DB).  I managed to do that with scala observable however i'm using an intermediate map data structure to return the total map which contains all ids.  Below is a sample code which simulates my problem..
object Main extends App {
  import rx.lang.scala.Observable

  val idsToFetch = Seq(1,2,3,4,5,6)

  println(isInDBOrNot()) // {1=true, 2=true, 3=true, 4=false, 5=false, 6=false}

  private def isInDBOrNot(): ConcurrentHashMap[Int, Boolean] = {
    val inAndNotInDB = new java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap[Int, Boolean]
    // - How can I avoid the additional data structure?
    // - In this case a map, so that the function will return
    //   a map with all numbers and for each if exist in DB?
    // - I mean I want the function to return a map I don't
    //   want to populate that map inside the observer,
    //   it's like a mini side effect I would rather simply
    //   manipulate the stream.

    Observable.from(idsToFetch)
      .filterNot(x => x == 4 || x == 5 || x == 6) // Simulate fetch from DB, 4,5,6 do not exist in DB, so not returned.
      .subscribe(
      x => inAndNotInDB.put(x, true),
      e => println(e),
      () => idsToFetch.filterNot(inAndNotInDB.containsKey)
        .foreach(inAndNotInDB.put(_, false)) // mark all non-found as false.
    )

    inAndNotInDB
  }

}

Anyway to do that without the intermediate map (without populating an intermedia data structure, but only by manipulating the stream)? It does not look clean!! . Thanks.

A: You problem seems to arise from the fact that you use flatMap so if there is no data in the DB for a given id and you get an empty Observable, flatMap just produces no output for such id. So it looks like what you need is defaultIfEmpty which is translated to Scala's orElse. You can use orElse to return some default value inside flatMap. So to modify your example:
def fetchFromDb(id: Int): Observable[String] = {
  if (id <= 3)
    Observable.just(s"Document #$id")
  else
    Observable.empty
}

def gotValue(idsToFetch: Seq[Int]): Observable[(Int, Boolean)] = {
  Observable.from(idsToFetch).flatMap((id: Int) => fetchFromDb(id).map(_ => (id, true)).orElse((id, false)))
}

println(gotValue(Seq(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)).toBlocking.toList)

which prints

List((1,true), (2,true), (3,true), (4,false), (5,false), (6,false))

Or you can use Option to return Some(JsonDocument) or None such as
def gotValueEx(idsToFetch: Seq[Int]): Observable[(Int, Option[String])] = {
  Observable.from(idsToFetch).flatMap((id: Int) => fetchFromDb(id).map(doc => (id, Option(doc))).orElse((id, None)))
}

println(gotValueEx(Seq(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)).toBlocking.toList)

which prints

List((1,Some(Document #1)), (2,Some(Document #2)), (3,Some(Document #3)), (4,None), (5,None), (6,None))

A: One way of doing this is the following:
(1) convert sequence of ids to Observable and map it with
id => (id, false)

... so you'll get an observable of type Observable[(Int, Boolean)] (lets call this new observable first).
(2) fetch data from database and map every fetched row to from:
(some_id, true)

... inside Observable[(Int, Boolean)] (lets call this observable last)
(3) concat first and last.
(4) toMap result of (3). Duplicate elements coming from first will be dropped in process. (this will be your resultObsrvable)
(5) (possibly) collect the first and only element of the observable (your map). You might not want to do this at all, but if you do, you should really understand implications of blocking to collect result at this point. In any case, this step really depends on your application specifics (how threading\scheduling\io is organized) but brute-force approach should look something like this (refer to this demo for more specifics):
Await.result(resultObsrvable.toBlocking.toFuture, 2 seconds)

A: how about this
Observable.from(idsToFetch)
        .filterNot(x => x._1 == 4 || x._1 == 5 || x._1 == 6)
        .foldLeft(idToFetch.map{_->false}.toMap){(m,id)=>m+(id->true)}

Q: Not able to get updated apk file in my project In my project when i test my application on my mobile device or emulator the app works properly and show all changes what i did with it but in PROJECT -> bin folder .apk file is not getting update? Help please.

A: Each time you make changes in the project which has the apk file earlier. You have to go through below process again:
Project file>Right click>Android tools>Export signed/unsigned application package and proceed until your current .apk is saved at target folder.
For the .apk in bin folder, sometimes Eclipse faces problems to update, you can 'Clean' and 'Build' project. Then run either in emulator or on your device. That will solve the issue at bin folder.
Good luck.

Robert Brubaker
Tenor Robert Brubaker was born in Mannheim, Pennsylvania, and studied at the Hartt College of Music in Hartford, Connecticut. Shortly after graduation he joined the New York City Opera, where he advanced from being a baritone in the chorus to become one of the company's leading tenors, appearing at Lincoln Center and on tour in such roles as Rodolfo in La Bohème, Pinkerton in Madama Butterfly, the Duke in Rigoletto, Alfred in Die Fledermaus, Alfredo in La Traviata, and Cavaradossi in Tosca. Since then he has gone on to sing at some of the world's leading opera houses. In 1992, he made his Metropolitan debut as one of the Mastersingers in Die Meistersinger, and two years later he made his European debut at the Rome Opera in the title role of Zemlinsky's Der Zwerg (The Dwarf). Brubaker's first appearance at the English National Opera in London was in 1995—in Kurt Weill's Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny—and in 1999 he sang his first Peter Grimes there to great acclaim. In 2000, he debuted with the Opéra de Paris–Bastille as Pierre in Prokofiev's War and Peace. His numerous other appearances have included Peter Grimes, The Makropulos Case, and Bussoni's Dr. Faust at the Met; Janacek's From the House of the Dead and John Adams's Nixon in China at the English National Opera; and Der Zwerg and Khovanshchina in Paris. In 2002, he made his Salzburg Festival debut in the title role of Zemlinsky's König Kandaules. Brubaker has also sung at the Houston Grand Opera; the Washington, Seattle, Vancouver, Canadian (Toronto), and New Israeli (Tel Aviv) operas; and at Lincoln Center's Mostly Mozart Festival. During the 1980s, he sang with the New York–based Jewish male-voice choir Schola Hebraeica, and as a chorister for traditional High Holy Day services. He points to the influence of those cantorial renditions on his own vocal development and his spiritual approach, and he often credits the emotional impact of that experience with informing his interpretation of sacred music in general.

An Interview with Robert Brubaker


It was summer of 1998 when I got the dreaded phone call. The local ministry director was going to be attending our children's club to check in on us and offer encouragement. To us, nothing could be scarier! It was our first year teaching 5-Day Clubs, and Emily and I had both studied the missionary story at the training camp. Because of the ratio of new students to more advanced students, we ended up being paired together to teach and having to learn the Bible lessons on our own. And now the director himself would be watching?? Aaaah! We turned our club upside down that day to teach the hardest stuff first hoping he wouldn't show up right away. I can still remember our laughs of relief at the end as we finished everything in record time!
Life went on and over time Emily and I lost track of each other. After becoming friends on Facebook, I knew she was marrying a good friend's husband's friend, but not much else. So one Friday night while sitting at the kitchen table sipping tea with my photographer friend Michele, I mentioned that I needed a shoot to be able to practice all I'd been learning lately. "You're welcome to come along to my wedding tomorrow," she said. And that's how, fourteen summers later, I got to watch Emily marry her best friend, Brian.
The Ridge in Auburn made perfect backdrop for family and friends to get together and celebrate!
A ladybug for good luck!
Just love the layers of her dress!
Emily was such a beautiful bride! Radiant and so full of joy to be marrying Brian!
beautiful photography! I really liked how you captured the couple in the mirror in the last image - how clever!


The three jaw chuck is a convenience tool. It is quick to use because all three jaws move in unison, so that round stock can be chucked quickly, more or less to centre. I say "more or less" because there is a built in "inaccuracy" in three jaw chucks. It is not really inaccuracy, it is that, because of inevitable tolerances in the scroll, they seldom close dead to centre, usually one or two thousandths out ( 25 – 50 microns). Also, the error is different at different diameters, and often, if a piece of work is removed from the chuck and later returned, it will not be exactly on centre. Three jaw chucks are thus quick and convenient for repetitive round work at one setting, but not for much else.
The four jaw chuck is much more accurate and versatile. That's why most books recommend that, if only one chuck is to be purchased, it should be a four jaw. Most mention that it can hold rectangular work, and can do eccentric turning work, but the full extent of its versatility is seldom explained.
On its own, its only advantage is that it can hold rectanguler work. But if the work can be set in the chuck to exact measurements, it opens up a whole world of versatility and precision that can't otherwise be imagined. That measurement is provided by the dial test indicator. The four jaw chuck and DTI should therefore be considered a two-piece combination tool, each as important as the other.
It is the most important lathe accessory, more versatile and useful than all others combined. It is indispensable for serious work, and makes possible a variety and complexity of work, and a degree of precision that cannot be achieved otherwise.
My book is not big at 52 pages, but with 13500 words and 77 illustrations, it explains in detail the advantages of the four jaw, with several working examples. It is not armchair theory – the four jaw chuck was the vital tool for the many parts, jigs and tools I made in my gunsmithing work.
It is a E book, available direct from me, boothroyd@polka.co.za, and will be sent by e mail. I will gladly send sample pages to anyone who wants to see the quality of the content before buying.

My buddy, Richard Bowman, and I have often discussed making bullet moulds, so that we can make experimental moulds and save some bucks as well. But its not easy, and needs some special equipment when you get past the first rough attempts. Last week, Richard showed me a mould he had made. He'd be the first to admit that it's a bit rough, but it was made only to test the method, with the better build quality coming later. It works very well. The blocks are aluminium, dimensioned to fit RCBS handles. The alignment pins have matching bushings in the soft aluminium blocks. It was made for a very big bullet, for a 4 bore rifle. Bullet diameter is almost 19mm (3/4″). It is too big to weigh on my scale, but measurements indicate about 800 grains. Big cavities are easier to cut, which is why Richard chose a big calibre for his first effort.
The cavity was drilled out with a series of ordinary twist drill bits of increasing diameter, and finished with a twist drill bit that Richard had ground to desired diameter and shape. Again, a bit rough, but creditably good for experimental use. The driving bands were cut in the four jaw chuck with a suitably ground boring tool.
It casts creditably good, perfectly shootable bullets, considering its experimental nature. Making moulds as good as factory moulds will need a lot more work, but this is a good start and proves that it can be done. Professional mould makers naturally don't publish their trade secrets, so intending mould makers have to figure it out the hard way.
I have published an e book entitled "Bullet Casting for Beginners." There are many books and articles about cast bullets, but most say little about the actual casting, and how to do it efficiently and well. One book says that a high temperature furnace is needed for melting antimony, and that multi cavity moulds are no faster than single or double cavity. And how often have you read that tin and antimony will separate from the lead if not fluxed and stirred ? All are untrue.
Then there are the things they just don't tell you. Like the fact that bevel base bullets can't be lubricated in RCBS, Lyman and Saeco lubricators. Well, they can, but so slowly and with such difficulty that it's not worth the struggle. How many guys have bought moulds they can't use, but can't return because they've used them once ?
I am a commercial bullet caster. I have hand-cast handgun and rifle bullets for quality conscious customers for many years. In doing so, I have found what works and what doesn't, and have encountered and sorted out every imaginable hitch and glitch.
My book is not big at 55 pages, but with 21500 words and 75 illustrations, it is packed with the sort of "how to" detail you need to cast quality bullets. It covers equipment selection and use, alloy blending, hardness testing, casting methods, temperature control, sizing & lubricating, gas check seating, and much more.
It is an e book, available direct from me, boothroyd@polka.co.za, and will be sent by e mail. I will gladly send sample pages to anyone who wants to see the quality of content before buying. As far as I know, it is the first bullet casting book written by a commercial bullets caster, with the wealth of experience that implies.
Price is $20. Payment will be credit card via www.gunownerssa.org. Payment instructions will be sent with the book.


1. Firewall: Is it turned on the remote host? If it is, are there any rules that prevent you from enabling RD?
2. Is the remote computer or server on the domain or is it in the P2P network?
3. WinRM: Is the service running on the remote host?
All those three pitfalls make you treat the remote computer or server like a black box! In this article, I describe some ways how you still can enable RD remotely.
Let's look at the model environment that I built for today's article. I used two exactly the same from the hardware point of view Windows Server 2016 hosts in the P2P network. One server was playing the role of the machine with the console ("console"). Another one, in turn, was a client ("client"), the machine where I tried to enable RD.
You would be a lucky guy if there were no fine tuning after OS installation. Typically, you observe this scenario in a fresh install of Windows Server 2016. Yes, firewall is on (if it is disabled for some reason, you are REALLY lucky 🙂 ), but you can still access the remote PC or server over the 5985 port via WinRM with PowerShell. The WinRM service, in its turn, should be running, set up, and completely ready to go! So, it does not matter whether the machine is on the domain or in the P2P network.
In order to enable RD, you need to set up everything on the "console" side first. Let's see what exactly you should do.
In my case, the service is stopped; therefore I need to enable it with the cmdlet below. You can just skip the following two steps if WinRM is running.
Check the service status again to ensure that it's running.
Next, list all the trusted hosts, the servers and PC that are allowed to run the PowerShell cmdlets remotely. In my case, that list was empty.
Afterward, check whether the computer has been successfully added to the trusted hosts.
Enter the credentials. You need to use the local administrator's, Client\Administrator, ones. The local administrator has enough rights to access "client" remotely via PowerShell and Remote Desktop. In this way, log in as the local administrator; otherwise, you won't be able to do anything I write here!
This means that you're on the right way. Let's move on and set up the RD now!
Leave the session by typing Exit.
Here I RDP via 3389 port since I did not choose any other port for that purpose. Sure, it can be any other port, so I believe it is not the thing one should worry about.
Now, allow the connections with the remote terminal server. For that purpose, set fDenyTSConnections registry parameter value to 0.
Next, enable the remote terminal server connections for the computers only with network level authentication. This setting delivers higher connection security.
Set the firewall rule. Note that the name should begin with "Remote Desktop". If you are as lazy as me to come up with the name, it's ok to leave it just as "Remote Desktop" .
Now, everything should work really fine.
Exit the session by typing Exit.
Now, try to RDP from "console".
See, everything works great now!
Now, let's talk about the case when you cannot access the remote host via PowerShell as there's no WinRM running on that host.
No worries, if the firewall is disabled or has some necessary rules set, you can start the service with PsServices, the utility from the PsTools. You can find more about the utility here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psservice. PsServices allows you to manage the services remotely even if it is not installed on "client". Note that this utility requires the access to the open system and network layers.
That's not rocket science to start the utility, you know. First, you need to extract the utilities from the PsTools package into some folder (it was c:\Tools\ in my case). Open the directory afterward and run WinRM remotely.
So, here's the command allowing to access the right directory. Keep in mind that you won't be able to start WinRM remotely without opening the directory.
Find out now whether WinRM is running on the remote host.
You need to read and accept PsService License Agreement during the utility first launch. Look through it and press Agree.
In my case, the service is not running on the remote host. Well, let's make it running!
Note that username and password are not hidden. That's not good in terms of security, but today I do not care about it.
See, WinRM has started pending. The further RD setting is held via the remote PowerShell session in just the same way I've described above.
I believe those two methods described above to be the most efficient ones for setting the RD on the host in the P2P network. If none of them works, call for some specialist. Sure, there also are some "unrecommended" ways to gain access, but I don't believe them to be legal, so I don't discuss them in this article.
If the remote host is in the Active Directory, you can gain the remote control over it fairly easily. And, here is how you can do that. I did everything using those "console" and "client" hosts that you already know. I added them to the Test.local domain.
So, first, go to the domain controller (it should see "client") and open Group Policy Management Console. Find the Group Policy Objects directory there and create a new policy.
I called it Test-GPO here, but you can use any other name that you are ok with.
Right-click the policy and press Edit to open Group Policy Objects Editor.
Now, go to the connections directory. Just follow this path: Computer Configuration \ Policies \ Administrative Templates: Policy definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the local computer. \ Windows Components \ Remote Desktop Services \ Remote Desktop Session Host \ Connections.
You need to enable remote connections there. For that purpose, change the Allow users to connect remotely by using Remote Desktop Services parameter to Enabled.
Once you are done with enabling RD connections, edit the security policy. Here's the path: Computer Configuration \ Policies \ Administrative Templates: Policy definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the local computer. \ Windows Components \ Remote Desktop Services \ Remote Desktop Session Host \ Security.
You need to enable user authentication there. Just change the Require user authentication for remote connections by using Network Level Authentication parameter to Enabled. Now, you can connect with the Network Level Authentication.
Edit the Domain Profile afterward. Follow this path: Computer Configuration \ Policies \ Administrative Templates: Policy definitions (ADMX files) retrieved from the local computer. \ Network \ Network Connections \ Windows Firewall \ Domain Profile.
There, change the Windows Firewall: Allow inbound Remote Desktop exceptions parameter to Enabled. Add the IP or the subnetwork that will be allowed for connection. Otherwise, you can just type *, just as I did, to allow connections via firewall to the RD port from any IP.
Once you press Ok, you are officially done with creating and setting up the policy. Now, go back to Group Policy Management Console and apply the policy to the Organizational Unit. In my case, it was called "Servers". So, I right-clicked Servers and linked it as an existing GPO (there is the self-titled option). Afterward, In the Select GPO window, I selected the Test-GPO policy and pressed Ok.
Confirm the force policy update. Note that I have only one computer in this Organizational Unit, and there are just as many hosts to be updated.
Wait until the Remote Group Policy finally updates.
Well, that's it! Now, Remote Desktop works on "client". Connect. Use it.
In this article, I described a couple of ways to enable Remote Desktop on another computer remotely. The last method always works. Well, unless, there was some firewall fine-tuning, of course. Honestly, here I provided only the methods that I know. Sorry, I did not examine the issue that deep. Sure, there are other methods how you can enable Remote Desktop. Do you know any? I really appreciate if you share them in comments.

Q: Can't intercept a PropertyChangeEvent in a Main class that extends PropertyChangeListener, why? I am pretty new in Java Swing develompment and I am finding some difficulties using the PropertyChangeListener in my GUI.
So I have a Main class that implements PropertyChangeListener interface:
package com.test.login4;

import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class Main implements PropertyChangeListener {

    private static LoginFrame loginFrame;

    private static final GUI gui = new GUI();

    public static void main(String[] args) {
          System.out.println("Main ---> main()");
          loginFrame = new LoginFrame();
          loginFrame.setVisible(true);

    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Main ---> actionPerformed()");

    }

    @Override
    public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("GUI ---> propertyChange()");

    }

}

Then I have the LoginFrame class:
package com.test.login4;

import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class LoginFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener {

    private static final int FIXED_WIDTH = 550;
    private static final Dimension INITAL_SIZE = new Dimension(FIXED_WIDTH, 230);

    private boolean loginResult = true;

    public LoginFrame() {

        System.out.println("Inside LoginFrame ---> LoginFrame()");

        this.setTitle("XCloud Login");

        //this.setPreferredSize(INITAL_SIZE);
        this.setSize(INITAL_SIZE);
        this.setResizable(false);

        Container mainContainer = this.getContentPane(); // main Container into the main JFrame

        // JPanel creation and settings of the MigLayout on it:
        // JPanel externalPanel = new JPanel();
        JPanelWithBackground externalPanel = null;

        try {
            // externalPanel = new JPanelWithBackground("resources/logo.png");
            externalPanel = new JPanelWithBackground("src/com/test/resources/logo.png");

        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        externalPanel.setLayout(new net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout("fill"));

        externalPanel.add(new JLabel("Username"), "w 50%, wrap");
        JTextField userNameTextField = new JTextField(20);

        externalPanel.add(userNameTextField, "w 90%, wrap");

        externalPanel.add(new JLabel("Password"), "w 50%, wrap");
        JTextField pswdTextField = new JTextField(20);
        externalPanel.add(pswdTextField, "w 90%, wrap");

        JButton loginButton = new JButton("Login");
        loginButton.setActionCommand("loginAction");
        loginButton.addActionListener(this);

        externalPanel.add(loginButton, "w 25%, wrap");

        mainContainer.add(externalPanel);
        // mainFrame.add(mainContainer);
        // loginFrame.setVisible(true);
        this.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        System.out.println("Button cliccked");

        firePropertyChange("loginButtonClicked", false, true);

    }

}

As you can see in this LoginFrame class when the user click on the JButton the actionPerformed method is executed (and it work, because I see it by the println) and in this method execute a firePropertyChange() method by this line:
firePropertyChange("loginButtonClicked", false, true);

Then In the Main class I have the propertyChange() method that have to intercept this event but this seem don't work, because don't enter in this method and don't print "GUI ---> propertyChange()" in my console
Why? What am I missing?

A: You have to register the listener with addPropertyChangeListener, ie:
Main listener = new Main();
loginFrame.addPropertyChangeListener(listener);

See How to Write a Property Change Listener for details and example.
EDIT:

but where have I to insert your previuos 2 lines of code? in what
  class\method?

You do not allocate an instance of class Main in the posted sample, so I am not sure what is its purpose. The posted sample also does not compile. To see the output, add the following lines:
loginFrame.addPropertyChangeListener(new Main());

But it is simply a hack. All in all, you need to allocate an instance that implements PropertyChangeListener and register it with a panel using addPropertyChangeListener method.
EDIT:
Here is a sample that demonstrates a basic listener:
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;

import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class ListenerDemo {
    public static final String PROP_NAME = "loginButtonClicked";

    public ListenerDemo() {
        DemoPanel panel = new DemoPanel();

        panel.addPropertyChangeListener(PROP_NAME, new PropertyChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
                System.out.println(evt.getPropertyName());
            }
        });

        JFrame frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
        frame.add(panel);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    class DemoPanel extends JPanel {
        public DemoPanel() {
            JButton button = new JButton("Test");
            button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
                @Override
                public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    firePropertyChange(PROP_NAME, false, true);
                }
            });
            add(button);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                new ListenerDemo();
            }
        });
    }
}


Ever wonder why "the nuts" refers to the best possible hand? The phrase comes from the Old West when not only chips and cash were used at the poker table but any other good that could be valued. A player could end up betting his horse and wagon which were represented by the nuts and bolts of the wagon wheels. You wouldnít want to put the wagon nuts in the pot with the second best hand. The stone cold nuts must have been the nuts taken off the wagon during a cold night or winter game. Walking home on a cold night was probably even more reason not to go all in with the second best hand.


The Spinstars were the result of sessions done between Jan - March 1980 at September Sound Studio in Golcar, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, with Bob Whiteley as recording engineer. The musicians on these tracks were Inner Mind members Dave Tattersall, Jimmy Walsh & Ian; also on the sessions were Alan Wormald on guitar and Rick Longden on sax.
Ian selected several old Soul and Reggae/RockSteady titles & some original songs then bounced them up to the then-trendy 90m.p.h. Punky/Ska style. In fact, one original track "Sufferin` Still" ended up as `B`-side to Ian`s solo single as The Spinstar called "(No) I Can`t Stand It" on Hot Lead Records.
The other tracks never saw the light of day on record, but remain great tracks in the Punk/Ska style.

I saw this picture at my friend Tanya's Facebook and marvelled at the beauty of this. I have never witnessed a true ice-storm, but my mom shared a lot of stories about them in Kansas City where she went to the seminary.
It seems so attractive. If the sun will shine upon the ice, it will sparkle and look incredibly beautiful.
A couple of friends mentioned a new book that is coming out soon. Rob Bell, the one Time magazine named "a singular rock star in the church world," wrote a book on Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived.
As I watched the promo video, I couldn't help but feel like I am travelling back in time, to my university years when I would argue with a professor of mine about the existence of hell (he doesn't believe that hell exists). Rob Bell seems to follow the same theological movement, using the principle of "Love Wins" – if God is love, there can't be no hell.
It's an incredibly tantalizing notion. No hell, just love.
However, as much as I am tempted to give into that thinking, I cannot understand… How on earth would Rob Bell explain evil's presence in the world then? I mean, either God is a God whose Love is a fluffy one that never really cares what we do, simply loving us no matter what… or hell is a very real place where those who don't want to be with God go.
Maybe my point of view on hell differs from the standard one… but I think that hell is rejecting God and then fully REALIZING what you've done. The realization that you have rejected being with the One who cares and loves, that you have consciously made yourself an absolute orphan… that must be hell.
So seriously… if one follows Rob Bell's logic, even those who did not want to be with God, will be with Him in the end? Those who claimed to hate him and those who claimed that they don't want to worship Him but rather worship His creations – will they be with God (i.e. in heaven) too? Boy… that would probably be hell for them as well – being where you did not want to be for eternity… surrounded by people whose only aim is to bring Him praise and glory. Either way, hell is a very real thing.
Here's the video for your judgement. All your comments are welcome.
What do you think? Dangerous beauty that has the potential to destroy or a real deal?


Electronic payments have become increasingly popular with the US companies, taking over the place of paper checks. The Eastern Caribbean Region adopted the national automated clearing house (ACH) standards for processing electronic payments in March of 2010. Earlier that year, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank upgraded its Real Time Gross Settlement System with the implementation of Straight Through Processing (STP), a key component of the payment system improvement project. The upgraded system allows for the electronic capturing and processing of financial transactions from the point of initiation to final settlement. The result of the upgrade is faster and more efficient transaction processing and settlement.
Mr Harris noted the role and contribution of ECCB in development of the financial services sector in the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU). The electronic payments were introduced in the mid 90-s but were not popular in the finance sector due to security issues and the time it took to arrange and process transactions. Now with new infrastructure and systems in place the rise of the electronic payments is obvious. They are efficient, convenient and fast. The cost of transaction for financial institutions has significantly reduced over the past few years and it will become even cheaper and more secure going forward.
Printech Global Secure Payment Solutions has been servicing banks, financial institutions and insurance companies in the Eastern Caribbean region for years with CheckPlusCFO software. Originally it helped organizations process check payments from multiple bank accounts, multiple companies using various currencies efficient and secure. With the electronic payments becoming more popular, the CheckPlus ACH electronic payment module has been implemented as an addition to check system. The companies can decide which payments will be made using paper check and which will be processed via electronic payment system. CheckPlusCFO software handles both check and ACH methods in one location, separating payments at the time of transaction processing. This allows the clients to process batches of payments once, using the same system. Printech's software automates payment processing, reduces manual labor and allows companies to choose the best cost-effective methods to make payment.
Printech now offers a free web demo to showcase benefits of CheckPlusCFO. Schedule your demo today and improve the payment processing operations in your company.

A LETTER TO DUANE...
I am hugely proud to present this tribute to our late friend, Duane Mark. Duane was a much-loved and respected member of our musical community. He had a reputation for being kind, caring, endlessly funny, a brilliant musician and songwriter, and a fine man. He was a friend to many of us and, despite being separated by great distances and oceans, he would always go the extra mile for Aldora Britain Records. He was that kind of man.
When news reached us of his death, there was only one thing to do. Pay tribute to the man through his incredible music and storytelling. Seven of his labelmates with home studios stepped forward and produced touching and thoughtful reworkings of their favourite song of Duane's. We truly hope that when Duane hears these, at that gig in the sky, he looks down with that big Texan smile.
Before signing off, I would like to share an excerpt from an interview that I did with Duane just over a year ago. We discussed my favourite song of his, 'Brittle Flower', and the words he said, I believe, represent the man he was...
"This is the song that strikes my heart the hardest … I am a firm believer in chasing your dreams … I want my children to have this same passion for chasing what they believe in. I wrote this song after my youngest daughter went through a rough time in school … I just wanted to make a simple tune to remind us that we are all in this together."
Our thoughts, prayers and condolences go out to his family, friends and fans. This is our letter to Duane. Rest in peace, we miss you.
Tom and the Aldora Britain Records Community.
All songs written by Duane Mark.

How to set NegaFix for Fujifilm Superia Premium 400?
Hi All, I brought Fujifilm Superia Premium 400 and would like to scan it with SilverFast 8 SE. However, i found only Fuji Superia 400 in NegaFix. Would it be any difference? Will SF supports this film? Thanks.
Re: How to set NegaFix for Fujifilm Superia Premium 400?
Unfortunately we can not support every film available.
We require special calibration targets to create the necessary profiles for a film type.
You can however search for another film profile which gives you a good result.
It does not necessarily have to be for the exact film.
If it removes the orange mask satisfactory then everything should be fine.
In SilverFast Ai Studio it further is possible to adjust existing profiles and store them as custom profiles.
Has LaserSoft created a profile for Ilford Delta 3200? I am not getting satisfactory results from other profiles using SF Ai 8. Thanks!
Unfortunately we only have profiling targets for the Ilford Delta 100 and 400.
The 3200 unfortunately is quite uncommon so no calibration targets were created.
In SilverFast Ai Studio you could use an existing profile and edit it in the expert settings to fit this emulsion.

Career Management: Three Things to Consider Before Resigning
By CommonWisdom	 Last updated Jun 6, 2018
There are three main questions when it comes to career management: Where do you come from? Where are you today? Where do you want to go?
We don't have full control over our lives and choices; there are many situations, opportunities and people that are beyond our reach and control. There is no straight road ahead of us that enables us to determine the route to follow, take a bearing and start walking. We now mention a much more complicated geography when talking about careers. There are mountains, hills, unpassable rivers and cliffs ahead of us. Even if we set our route to the North, the obstacles on the way make it impossible to follow; and we follow North-east some days while North-west some others. But sometimes when we lose track, we might find ourselves heading south. I share below the three principles to keep in mind to stay in route in terms of career management.
The greatest skill those who can manage their careers have is the ability to navigate in this complicated geography.
Push Vs. Pull
I have heard career stories from thousands of people as a part of my job. I can tell you this as a person who is about to make his fifth career change: There are difficult goals, difficult people and difficult conditions in every work environment. There are environments in corporate life that interfere with personal life, keep one from having a balanced life, require long and hard working periods, and sometimes give unrealistic goals. Excluding environments where one is under the risk of getting permanent psychological harm (life is too short for this); not pushing but pulling factors should convince one to change jobs. No matter how harsh the conditions are, it only brings regret to act on the feeling of getting rid of something. Pushing factors shouldn't govern a person, but the attraction of the pulling ones should be determinant.
How do the new job or conditions that come after resignation speak to the feeling of pointfulness? How advantageous is it financially? Is it compatible with the person's own strengths and weaknesses? Does it even match the direction he wants to follow? Will he get better as he does his new duty or job? What are the "pulling" factors?
So it should be the pulling factors that are effective in making the decision, not the pushing ones. Otherwise you might find yourself in unwanted conditions after a relief of 1-2 months.
In other words;
It doesn't matter what you escape from but what you run towards.
In trainings I have given on Staying Happy by Questioning, I ask people to tell about themselves without mentioning themselves, and their current title and duties. I see a difficulty in answering this question in everyone (including myself). People start asking questions like "What remains of me if I take away my job title and duty of today?" Then I don't need to add anything else. As I wrote before, it is not answering but asking questions that is important.
There is no problem in telling your short-term stories; telling where we are today, what we have done in the past and what we want to do in the couple of years to follow. But it is not as easy to discover our long-term stories. Those who put a lot of effort into this win more both in life and in career. They know where they want to see themselves in the following years (although they don't detail it completely), what kind of skills they want to gain and what kind of a person they want to be. Most importantly, they have discovered what their values are.
Those who know their long-term stories have the advantage of evaluating their every career move as in "Does it fit my story?" or "Does it fit my values?" and take strong steps that don't divert from the route. This gives them significant power in career management.It is not always possible to go straight all the time. Career paths are full of unsurpassable rivers as in nature.
Total Benefit Analysis
The first difficulty in this matter is that we cannot directly compare the benefits that can be calculated in a concrete and clear way (working hours, location of the work-place, commuting distance, salary, bonuses, stimulus packages etc.) and those that cannot easily be quantified (feeling of accomplishment that the job brings, its suitability to the person, extend to which it answers the need to be doing something meaningful in the long run, richness of the relationships built with co-workers etc.).
People tend to decide based on concrete and clearly calculable benefits when deciding to switch to a new job. I can say this based on the hundreds of hiring and offering processes I have had the chance of witnessing. Yet the irony here is that people reach the clarity of mind that can analyse the abstract and concrete benefits holistically only after starting working in the job. Dissatisfaction with both the concrete and abstract benefits that I have listed above play a part in the job-change decision and in career management.
A person can holistically view the pros and cons of the situation he is in only as he lives, contacts people, and works on different areas possibly with the ability to think long-term. Of course the skill here is to be able to see this before making the decision, not after making the decision of changing jobs and going through the experience.
Holistic Decisions (concrete + abstract)
People who are good at drawing their life routes and career management can see the concrete benefits correctly. They analyse the decisions they make holistically.
In addition to these three main points; I have seen that being able to make the right sacrifices when necessary and going after learning opportunities at times instead of financial power have contributed a lot in the pasts of successful people.
With hope that we all can stay in route in the hustle of corporate life…

Orange County takes proactive measures to reduce threat of Zika outbreak
5th Fla. county added to Zika health emergency
TAMPA, Fla. – The threat of Zika virus spreading rapidly across Florida is pushing counties like Seminole to take action.
Timberland Trail in Altamonte Springs was one street on a list of areas covered in repellant. Other spots include Lake Mary, Sanford and Longwood. One man said he took matters into his own hands.
[MORE: Zika travel notices | Virus symptoms, treatment | Drain and cover video ]
"We called out the local authorities to come and do some spraying around the neighborhood," he said.
It's what the state wants Floridians to do: Make sure you're proactive by dumping standing water near your home, cleaning empty pool areas and making sure you're slathered with DEET bug spray.
"These mosquitoes are found in areas that collect and hold water around homes in places like tin cans, old tires, buckets, unused plastic swimming pools," said Orange County Mosquito Control Division acting manager Kelly Deutsch in a release. "It's also important to remove or refresh water in bird baths and pet dishes at least every week. Controlling these mosquitoes is really a community effort. We need all residents to take a look around their homes to see how they can help lower their risk of contact with these mosquitoes by eliminating unnecessary standing water."
Sen. Bill Nelson is calling for even higher action. He asked President Obama to coordinate a national response with a Zika czar as point-person.
"If Puerto Rico's and Florida's history in dealing with other mosquito-borne illnesses is any indication of the potential for viral spread, these numbers are likely to rise as we head into the summer months," Nelson said in a statement.
The numbers are already growing. There are at least a dozen cases in Florida. Gov. Rick Scott is now ordering 5,000 Zika kits to test the most vulnerable -- pregnant women.
"We're preparing for the worst and hoping for the best," said Scott, comparing the readiness to that of a hurricane. "We're going to stay ahead of the Zika virus."
Scott said the mosquito that carries the virus is very common in Florida but added that he wants residents and tourists to know that Florida is safe.
This week, the American Red Cross issued a blood donation policy change, in which anyone who has traveled to Zika-affected countries should delay blood donations for 28 days.
Additionally, people who have already donated blood and who develop symptoms should call the Red Cross to keep their infected blood from entering local blood supplies.
One Blood, which distributes blood donations in Florida, told News 6 it will also begin a similar policy.
"If the donor visited any of the areas within the past 28 days, they will be asked not to donate," said Pat Michaels, of One Blood. "The public should take great comfort in knowing our local blood supply is safe and meets the highest possible standards mandated by the (Food and Drug Administration)."
The Zika virus is linked to brain deformities in babies and is causing concern among public health officials worldwide. The virus is primarily spread through mosquito bites, but investigators had been exploring the possibility it could be sexually transmitted.
U.S. health officials say a person in Texas became infected with Zika through sex, in the first case of the illness being transmitted within the United States.

I don't write stories, but I know that when I have to write a paper for a class(college) I usually don't use outlines. They tend to confuse me more than help me. In fact I tend to fly by the seat of my pants and write the entire thing in one sitting. I also do better when it's getting close to the deadline.
By the way Michelle; the guy on the cover of "The Pirate Prince" looks absolutely yummy.
Love all the fun facts I am learning as you travel your blog tour. Have a wonderful Monday.
Fun blog tour with both of you answering one question per blog. Really keeps the interest up as to which question may be next and what you may say.

Q: How to apply a list of functions using tidyverse and get back a column for each function applied I am trying to apply multiple functions to each column in a data set and get back a column for each function that was computed and the rows would then correspond to which column it was computed on. So in the code below, there are 3 IDs. I then compute three functions on each so the final data frame would have 3 rows and 3 columns. The rows now correspond to which Id the function was computed on and the column corresponds to what was computed. I am open to other solutions but would prefer a tidyverse solution since I need it to be generalizable to a lot of functions and still be fast.
The expected output is in end.data
data <- data.frame(id1 = 1:10,id2 = 1:10,id3 = 1:10)
data

end.data <- data.frame(innprod = c(385,385,385),identity = c(55,55,55) , range = c(9,9,9))
end.data

I tried combining across and summarise which does the calculations but it returns each in their own column.
data <- data.frame(id1 = 1:10,id2 = 1:10,id3 = 1:10)
map.fun <- list(
  innprod = ~ t(.x)%*%.x,
  identity = ~ sum(.x),
  range = ~ max(.x) - min(.x)
)
feat_m <-      data %>%  summarise(across(where(is.numeric),map.fun))
feat_m

A: Your function for map.fun returns a matrix for inprod, we first need to convert it into vector like rest of the elements.
map.fun <- list(
  innprod = ~ c(t(.x)%*%.x),
  identity = ~ sum(.x),
  range = ~ max(.x) - min(.x)
)

Once you do that you can use summarise + across to apply the function to each numeric column. If you want each value into separate column you can then use pivot_longer on summarised data with names_sep argument.
library(dplyr)

data %>%
  summarise(across(where(is.numeric),map.fun)) %>%
  tidyr::pivot_longer(cols = where(is.numeric),
               names_to = c('id', '.value'),
               names_sep = '_')

#   id    innprod identity range
#  <chr>   <dbl>    <int> <int>
#1 id1       385       55     9
#2 id2       385       55     9
#3 id3       385       55     9

A: We could reshape to 'long' format and then apply as a function
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
map.fun <- function(.x) list(
  innprod =  as.numeric(t(.x)%*%.x),
 identity =  sum(.x),
 range =  max(.x) - min(.x)
)

data %>%
       select(where(is.numeric)) %>%
       pivot_longer(everything()) %>%
       group_by(name) %>%
       summarise(value = list(map.fun(value)), .groups = 'drop') %>%
       unnest_wider(c(value))

-output
# A tibble: 3 x 4
#  name  innprod identity range
#  <chr>   <dbl>    <int> <int>
#1 id1       385       55     9
#2 id2       385       55     9
#3 id3       385       55     9

A: Base R alternative, which is essentially a hidden double loop. Still generalisable to many functions as requested:
funs <-  c(
  innprod  = function(x) c(t(x) %*% x),
  identity = sum,
  range    = function(x) diff(range(x))
)
sapply(funs, function(f) sapply(data, function(d) f(d)) )

#    innprod identity range
#id1     385       55     9
#id2     385       55     9
#id3     385       55     9

KVβ2 (or KCNAB2) is a member of a family of proteins that regulate the activity of voltage-dependent K+ channels. The other members of the family are KVβ1 and KVβ3.
The KVβ subunits were originally identified using a biochemical approach that demonstrated that the ion-conducting α subunits existed in a macromolecular complex with auxiliary β subunits with a probable stoichiometry of α4β4. It is now widely established that the regulatory β subunits are able to alter both the biophysical (i.e. acceleration of inactivation kinetics) and biochemical (promote cell surface expression) properties of the functional KV channel.
The KVβ regulatory subunits are cytosolic proteins with conserved C-termini and variable N-terminus domains. The interaction with the α subunits is via the conserved C-terminus that binds to a specific sequence in the N-terminus of the α subunits.
KVβ2, as well as the other KVβ subunits can bind to all the members of the large KV1.x (Shaker) channel subfamily. However, recent evidence suggests that it can also bind to members of the KV4.x subfamily.
KVβ2 is the most abundant β subunit in the brain, where it couples with all the KV1.x subunits, but the protein is also expressed in peripheral tissues including the heart, lungs and cells of hematopoietic origin such as T cells where it couples with KV1.3, the dominant voltage-dependent K+ channel in these cells.
Alomone Labs is pleased to offer a highly specific antibody directed against an epitope of rat KVβ2. Anti-KVβ2 Antibody (#APC-117) can be used in western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunocytochemistry applications. It has been designed to recognize KVβ2 from rat, mouse and human samples.

UNICEF Appeals for $76.1 million to Assist Children in Bangladesh Affected by the Rohingya Crisis
NEW YORK (October 2, 2017) – UNICEF is launching a $76.1 million appeal for its emergency humanitarian response to the Rohingya refugee crisis in southern Bangladesh.
The appeal will cover the immediate needs of newly-arrived Rohingya children, as well as those who arrived before the recent influx, and children from vulnerable host communities -- 720,000 children in all.
Up to 60 percent of the 500,000-plus Rohingya who have fled Myanmar since August 25 are estimated to be children. Most are now living in harsh and insanitary conditions in makeshift camps and settlements spread across the district of Cox's Bazar.
"Desperate, traumatized children and their families are fleeing the violence in Myanmar every day. We are scaling up our response as fast as we can, but the magnitude of need is immense and we must be able do more to help them. These children are being denied a childhood. They need our help now and they need our help to have a future," said UNICEF Executive Director Anthony Lake, who is visiting southern Bangladesh.
Expanding the provision of safe water, sanitation and improved hygiene for Rohingya children is the overriding priority of the appeal, amid concerns over a possible outbreak of diarrhea and other waterborne diseases. The majority of Rohingya children are not fully immunized against diseases such as polio.
An oral cholera vaccination campaign targeting all children over 1 year old is planned in October, and 900,000 doses of the vaccine are expected to arrive in Bangladesh on October 7, possibly earlier.
An earlier UNICEF appeal for $7 million has been expanded to reflect the fast-growing scale of the crisis.
Under the response plan, UNICEF will:
Provide safe water and sanitation for up to 50 percent of the target population, and respond to the hygiene needs of 40 percent. The priority will be the most vulnerable children at risk of disease, along with health, nutrition and learning centers.
Focus on disease prevention through vaccinations and antenatal care services. UNICEF and partners are working to make information and resources on water handling available to households. Staff at nutrition centers will screen and refer children with suspected cholera cases.
Lifesaving information on how to prevent and detect suspected cholera cases, and where to go for treatment will be broadcast through mass media. Religious leaders, volunteers and youth will support awareness-raising campaigns.
Meet the nutritional needs of at least 60 percent of an estimated caseload of 7,500 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and procure supplies of Ready-to-use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) and therapeutic milk for other partners treating SAM. UNICEF will reach 70 percent of children with micronutrient support, including Vitamin A.
Provide child protection services (including psychosocial and recreational support) to up to 180,000 children through structured activities at Child Friendly Spaces and referrals for children who require specialized support. UNICEF will work with the Red Cross on family tracing and reunification, and with other partners to provide survivors of sexual violence with a broad range of support.
Expand its network of Adolescent Centers to provide life-skills training, recreational activities, and psychosocial support to an especially vulnerable group.
Work closely with the Ministry of Primary and Mass Education to provide early learning and non-formal basic education to all Rohingya children, using a curriculum that provides basic literacy, numeracy and life skills designed for children who have been out of school. UNICEF will also provide support to schools in host communities, including non-formal education for out of school children. UNICEF will work to recruit teachers among the Rohingya population.
The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) works in more than 190 countries and territories to put children first. UNICEF has helped save more children's lives than any other humanitarian organization, by providing health care and immunizations, safe water and sanitation, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more. UNICEF USA supports UNICEF's work through fundraising, advocacy and education in the United States. Together, we are working toward the day when no children die from preventable causes and every child has a safe and healthy childhood. For more information, visit www.unicefusa.org.

Marantz launches NR1510 and NR1710 slimline AV receivers
By Becky Scarrott published 21 May 19
A flexible pair of 4K-friendly home cinema amps
Slimline AV receivers make a lot of sense. They don't take up as much space as their heftier brethren, yet you can still pack in the features and the performance.
The NR1510 and NR1710 home cinema amps are the latest streamlined models from Marantz's stable and replace last year's NR1509 and NR1609.
The NR1710 boasts the biggest feature count of the two - the 7.2-channel amp boasts 50 watts per channel and no fewer than eight HDMI ports (including one on the front panel). It even slips in eARC compatibility too, which should give added flexibility to some home cinema systems.
Using the built-in Heos app, both receivers also work with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri voice assistants.
While the NR1510 has drops the number of channels to five and HDMI inputs to six, both models have 4k pass-through, HDR support and can decode Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X and DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks. Both also have dual subwoofer outputs, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, AirPlay and Spotify Connect.
The NR1510 is priced at $599 and the NR1710 is priced at $749. Both are available to buy in the US but there's no news on an official UK launch, yet.

Q: Using Taylor's theorem to determine an approximation of the highest possible order If, where $f$ is a function and $a,b,c$ are constants, $af(-2h)+bf(0) + cf(h)$ is an approximation for $f'(0)$, I have to find the values of $a,b,c$ such that the approximation is of the highest order possible, using Taylor's theorem.
From Taylor's theorem, I have that:
$f(x+h) = f(x) + hf'(x)+\frac{1}{2}h^2f''(x)+\frac{1}{6}h^3f'''(\xi)$
and therefore, with $x=0$:
$f(-2h)=f(0)-2hf'(0)+2h^2f''(0)-\frac{4}{3}h^3f'''(\xi)$ and
$f(h)=f(0)+hf'(0)+\frac{1}{2}h^2f''(0)+\frac{1}{6}h^3f'''(\xi')$
So what I believe I would do to maximise the order of  $af(-2h)+bf(0)+cf(h)$ when approximating $f'(0)$ is to have $a,b,c$ such that $f(0)$ and $f''(0)$ vanish.
If I had $a+b+c=0$ and $2a+\frac{1}{2}c=0$ this would do it.
What confuses me is that the question I am doing asks me to find $the$ values $a,b,c$ and since there are infinite solutions to the above equations I don't know which values would be better.
The other problem I have is that if I used, say, $a=1,b=1,c=-2$ then I would get $af(-2h) +bf(0)+cf(h)=-4hf'(0)-\frac{8}{3}f'''(\xi'')$ and I don't get how this is is an approximation for $f'(0)$ due to the $h$. In fact, no values of $a,b,c$ could get rid of the $h$. So I'm slightly confused about how $af(-2h)+bf(0) + cf(h)$ is an approximation in the first place.
Thank you.

A: There are in fact three equations and three unknowns. Moreover, a division with $h$ is required. You have
$$f(-2h) = f(0) - 2f'(h) + 2f''(0)h^2 + O(h^3).$$
and
$$f(h) = f(0) + f'(0)h + \frac{1}{2}f''(0)h^2 + O(h^3)$$
It follows that
$$af(-2h) + b f(0) + c f(h) = (a+b+c)f(0) + (-2a+c)f'(0)h + \left(2a+\frac{1}{2}c\right)f''(0)h^2+O(h^3).$$
As you have reasoned, you must have
$$a+b+c=0$$
and $$2a+\frac{1}{2}c = 0.$$
However, there is also a third equation which must not be neglected. Specifically,
$$-2a+c = 1.$$
When these equations are solved you have
$$\frac{af(-2h) + b f(0) + c f(h)}{h} = f'(0) + O(h^2).$$
Notice that I have explicitly divided with $h$. It is straight forward to determine the values of $a$, $b$ and $c$. You should also extend the Taylor expansion to fourth order and verify that in general we can not expect third order accuracy from this approximation of the derivative.

MINER MEMORIALS
Discover our... Coalport Area Coal Museum
Coalport Area Coal Museum
Coalport, PA 16627
(814) 790-0984 (voice or text)
Sundays -- 1:00 to 5:00 PM
Thursdays -- 1:00 to 5:00 PM
(Contact us for a tour or special request)
The Coalport Area Coal Museum is located in the large hallway of the Coalport Community Building at 961 Forrest Street in "Historic Coalport" (Beccaria Township, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania)
Founded in 1991 through the efforts of the Coalport Area Museum Commission and the Glendale Industrial Development Association, our Museum was funded initially by contributions from the community, donations from businesses, and small grants. Thanks to the Coalport Borough Council, the museum was given a 'home' in its expansive corridors of the community building—itself the former Coalport Elementary School built in 1937.
All of the artifacts in the Museum were donated by families of former coal miners who wished to have their memories preserved following our motto: To Enrich our Future by Preserving the Past. Most of the items on display are from the early hand-loading days of mining bituminous coal--for which our region was primarily known.
The town's name of "Coalport"," incorporated as a borough in 1883, most likely derived from the main industry that was quite ubiquitous in our central Pennsylvania region. Our records show there were over 400 coal mines at various times in our Glendale Valley region of central Pennsylvania--know for its quality-burning bituminous coal.
Although there are currently no deep mines, there are a few coal strip mines still operating in our area. Spoil piles of local mines still dot the region, and, among other places, can even be seen directly behind the Coal Museum. Heading north on Forest Street, there's a large space where the former "Sunshine Mine" existed—as Coalport was one of the very few communities which had a large working mine and tipple practically in the town center!
Coalport is one of the five municipalities making up the "Glendale Valley" region and is located three miles from Prince Gallitzin State Park and Glendale Lake. In April 2000, Coalport's downtown section had the honor of being named to the prestigious National Register of Historic Places—with 53 original buildings helping the town earn that distinction.
