Adobe Punches Up 'TV Everywhere' System After Olympics Workout
Adobe Systems is introducing a second wave of major new features for its TV Everywhere platform -- including tools to make signing in easier for consumers -- after testing out elements of the 2.0 version with NBCUniversal during record-setting online-video viewing of the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Adobe Pass 2.0's enhancements include: auto-authentication using cable modems; an option to present a temporary free preview to subscribers who don't know or have forgotten their passwords; improved scalability; and a forthcoming server-side application programming interface, said senior product manager Todd Greenbaum.
The company, whose Flash multimedia player is widely used for online video, first introduced Adobe Pass in March 2011. The system now is integrated with 150 cable, satellite and telco TV operators, which serve 98% of U.S. households.
This summer, Adobe Pass supported NBC Olympics' verification efforts for its coverage of the London Olympics, which resulted in more than 88 million authenticated streams served to about 7 million U.S. households -- believed to be the biggest single TV Everywhere event to date.
For the Summer Games, Comcast and Cablevision Systems were the two operators that used the Adobe Pass auto-authentication feature, which verifies subscribers based on the IP or MAC (media access control) address of their cable modem. The MSOs had login success rates that were 23% higher than pay TV operators that didn't take advantage of the capability. According to Comcast, on some days auto-authentications were more than half of all logins.
NBCU, meanwhile, used the new "free preview" feature offers consumers temporary access to premium TV content online for a two-hour window. That was to aid customers "if they didn't know their credentials right off the bat," Greenbaum said. Some operators provided gave customers the option of entering their email address to retrieve their password after granting the free preview.
With Adobe Pass 2.0, the company is providing better failover and redundancy features and live monitoring so programmer partners can see the "real-time health on a per-operator basis," Greenbaum said.
This fall, Adobe Pass will introduce a server-side API to let content providers integrate the authentication capabilities within native applications -- including on connected TVs and other devices -- rather than requiring the vendor's software development kit.
In addition, Adobe is developing features to limit the number of concurrent streams and devices allowed per account, to cut down on unauthorized sharing of usernames and passwords, Greenbaum said.
On the content side, Adobe Pass supports about 40 sites and mobile apps from 25 top programmers. Networks that use Adobe Pass include ESPN, Fox, CNN, TNT, MTV and Disney.
HBO is the most notable programmer offering TV Everywhere that is not using Adobe Pass. Instead, the premium programmer works directly with affiliates to provide authentication for its HBO Go website and mobile apps.
In the first six months of 2012, the number of video streams authenticated by Adobe Pass increased tenfold (though the company would not disclose how many streams total it processed). High-profile TV Everywhere events in the first half of the year included NCAA March Madness, UEFA Euro 2012 soccer and the NBA playoffs.
Campbell Foster, director of product marketing for Adobe's video and ad solutions, said the two remaining barriers to broad adoption of TV Everywhere at this point are consumer awareness of the services agreements between operators and programmers.
"The infrastructure is in place to support authenticated content," he said.
Adobe Pass is a component of Adobe Primetime, which brings together the vendor's video publishing, streaming, DRM, authentication, advertising and analytics capabilities. The company expects to have full integration of all major components of Primetime before the end of 2012 with support for Windows, Mac OS, Apple iOS, Google Android and other platforms.

"Obliterate what is not" has been a repeating mantra in my heart and mind for a few months. There is this ferocious appetite to change, to discard, to destroy and to have nothing. Should I trust it? Is this a tantrum reaction to the pain of losing both parents or is this a genuine divine nudging from God? I remember the Sanskrit expression "Neti-Neti" which means "Not this and Not that". Is this what I'm going through?
This feeling shows up strongly especially in my life style. For example, I have been obsessed with wanting to pare down my material possessions. I did give away and sell about 90% of what I owned when I left Massachusetts and moved to Big Sur, CA last December. So what is this obsession?
I realized when I lost my parents, I lost the most valuable things of my life. There is a deep emptiness as well as exhaustion that makes the rest of my possessions feel insignificant and disposable. I do not have the same attachment to them as before. My things and I have transcended to a different level of being where I am no longer interested to own them but am interested to be in relationship with them. In this way, I want to minimize what I have in order to know what I have.
The loss plus leaving my job, community, and moving to a different coast have gifted me many powerful insight about life, love and freedom and have inspired me to live differently. If I'm not mindful and attentive, I will subconsciously diverge back to old habits that will strangle this new revelation. Now is the golden opportunity to make bold changes, design and practice new habits to support the new lifestyle.
My physique feels like a forest that has just gone through a major fire. There is nothing left but barren ground. Even though I feel desolated by deaths, life ultimately is undefeatable. Like a gardener, I need to attend and water the seemingly empty ground, and to weed out anything that will interfere with the growth of a new life. This is a precious time that calls for wild imagination, great creativity and passionate devotion to what is possible.

190mm Oiled Engineered European Oak Wood Flooring – product code EO1049 - has a total thickness of 20mm with a 6mm solid hardtop wear layer. This product comes in fixed lengths of 1900mm. This product is pre finished with a UV oil which gives the flooring an ultra strong protection from any damage including day to day wear and tear as well as giving a beautiful look.
Each plank has a 4V Groove, bevelled edge giving each plank a unique definition that can rival the real thing. This floor can be sanded down up to 5 times however it shouldn't be necessary to do so for the first 15-20 years, plus this product also comes with our 25 guarantee, so you can relax knowing your floor will retain its high quality for years. The grade of this product is prime, which means the product comes with natural imperfections and knots on the surface. Rustic is the most popular finish in the industry as it offers that same incredible look of wood with all the added benefits of an engineered floor.
The EO1049 can be installed using one of three techniques. Option one, 'floating floor', is achieved by gluing the tongue and groove parts of the board and allow the floor as a whole to float, usually cushioned with use of an underlay. Option two would be to secret nail the tongue part of the plank into a wooden subfloor. Finally, option three would be to stick the timber directly onto the subfloor with use of flooring adhesive. Please see the full, downloadable installation guide in the installation tab above for more information.
Engineered floor doesn't only look gorgeous, it is also incredibly practical too. Thanks to the way engineered flooring is constructed the material is incredibly hard wearing. This means that it is perfect for using in kitchens, where exposure to dirt is quite common. Engineered flooring, unlike some other flooring, is able to endure fluctuations temperatures. Because of this, it is also suitable for use with underfloor heating and can be used in rooms such as conservatories and basements without perishing.

We are excited about the great things we are doing at Stratton Elementary! Last year Stratton Staff members were trained in the Capturing Kids Hearts (CKH) program. We left this training inspired to make some changes to our school community through intentional positive school culture and climate.
This amazing program outlines a process staff can use to help build meaningful connections between staff and students, students and their peers, and between staff and families. The goal is to Capture Kids' Hearts in order to capture their minds. Research shows that when students feel more connected to their school and staff, they achieve higher academic success and are less likely to have behavior or attendance issues. Students thrive when they feel cared for and engaged!
A central piece of CKH is the SOCIAL CONTRACT. A Social Contract is written by the community of each classroom to establish guidelines and expectations for how students and teachers will treat each other. Students work together to develop this contract and the teacher acts as a facilitator to encourage discussion. The Social contract is designed to help students internalize and practice character traits and skills that they will use in their future lives. The goal is to help students develop "Self-managing" skills. The Stratton staff also creates a Social Contract each year that governs how we treat one another and hold each other accountable throughout the school year.
The EXCEL Model* helps show Stratton students that teachers here care about their experience in our school.
ENGAGE: Administration greets every student walking in the front doors in the morning with a smile and a handshake, high-five, fist bump, etc. Teachers personally greet each student at the classroom door with a smile and welcome.
X-PLORE: Teachers and staff look for opportunities to listen and interact with students, not just here at school but also about their lives outside of school. Studetns enjoy sharing "Good Things" each morning with their peers and teachers. Teachers affirm students' personal experiences while showing a genuine interest in the students' thoughts and feelings.
COMMUNICATE: We believe the interactions in classrooms should be a dialogue between teachers and students, as well as between students and their peers, with the teacher serving as a resource and facilitator of learning. This facilitation is focused around the classroom Social Contract, embedding those ideals into the daily schedule and lessons.
EMPOWER: Teachers and staff empower students to self-manage and peer manage behaviors in school when appropriate, and to problem solve on their own when appropriate.
LAUNCH: A conscious effort is made each day to close the day with a positive thought, and inspirational quote/video/activity, or with affirmtations. Through this process we hope to inspire students to enjoy their evening at home and look forward to coming to school the following day.
Capturing Kids' Hearts is a process that involves many components. We have only shared a portion with you here but we hope it provides some understanding of its usefulness as well as some of the strategies. We at Stratton Elementary strive to focus on what matters most-our students! We stay focused by asking ourselves daily "Are we capturing their hearts today?"

Joaquin Phoenix will be wearing the same tuxedo through this year's awards season in an attempt to reduce waste.
British designer Stella McCartney revealed that she was joining forces with the "Joker" star "to make choices for the future of the planet."
Phoenix discussed climate change during his acceptance speech at the Golden Globes, telling his fellow stars to stop taking private jets.
Visit Insider's homepage for more stories.
From the plant-based dinner to numerous speeches that mentioned the Australian bushfires, climate change was a major topic at the Golden Globes.
Following Sunday night's show, it has been revealed that Joaquin Phoenix is planning to wear the same tuxedo throughout this year's awards season in an attempt to reduce waste.
The news was shared by British designer Stella McCartney, who wrote that she was "proud to join forces" with the "Joker" star.
This man is a winner… wearing custom Stella because he chooses to make choices for the future of the planet and all of its creatures. He has also chosen to wear this same Tux for the entire award season to reduce waste. I am proud and honoured to join forces with you Joaquin, keep inspiring and keep shining your light x Stella Joaquin Phoenix wins Best Actor at the 77th Golden Globe awards, wearing a custom #StellaMenswear Tuxedo. . #JoaquinPhoenix #StellaMcCartney #GoldenGlobes #InStella
A post shared by Stella McCartney (@stellamccartney) on Jan 6, 2020 at 3:09am PST Jan 6, 2020 at 3:09am PST
"This man is a winner," she wrote in a post shared to both Twitter and Instagram. "Wearing custom Stella because he chooses to make choices for the future of the planet."
"He has also chosen to wear the same tux for the entire awards season to reduce waste," she added. "I am proud to join forces with you."
Stella McCartney calls itself a "sustainable luxury fashion brand" and McCartney herself is vegan. The company never uses leather, skin, fur, or feathers.

"By taking this stance, we are proving it is possible to create beautiful, luxurious products that are better for everyone — animals, people, and the environment," the company's website reads.
The label also uses a tool called the Environmental Profit and Loss (EP&L) to measure its impact on the environment from "greenhouse gas emissions, water use, water pollution, land use, air pollution, and waste."
Phoenix himself discussed climate change, and the negative impact Hollywood has on it, during his acceptance speech on Sunday after winning best performance by an actor in a drama film.
The actor first thanked the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for "recognizing and acknowledging the link between animal agriculture and climate change" by choosing to serve a 100% plant-based dinner during the show for the first time in its 77-year history.
"It's a very bold move making tonight plant-based, and it really sends a powerful message," he said.
Phoenix then called on his fellow stars to do more than just mention Australia in their speeches as the continent continues to grapple with devastating bushfires.

"It's really nice that so many people have sent their well wishes to Australia, but we have to do more than that," he said. "Hopefully, we can be unified and actually make some changes."
"Sometimes we have to take that responsibility on ourselves and make changes and sacrifices in our own lives," he added. "We don't have to take private jets to Palm Springs for the awards."
Phoenix may have been inspired in part by his fiancé Rooney Mara, who opted to wear a Givenchy gown from the label's spring 2019 couture collection instead of a brand-new custom dress for the show.

Clare Waight Keller, Givenchy's current artistic director, has also spoken about her own efforts to make the brand more sustainable by using organic and recycled textiles.
"We need to wear our clothes for longer," she told Vogue. "It's the throwaway aspect which is destructive."
Representatives for Joaquin Phoenix and Stella McCartney did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

According to the rules of a new petitions site set up by the UK government only last week, parliament will now have to consider the legalisation of cannabis for debate.
The petition, which aims to make the production, sale and use of cannabis legal in the UK has received 154,092 signatures at the time of writing. Rules governing the new petition site stipulate any petition that receives over 100,000 signatures must be considered by parliament for debate.
Petitions that reach 100,000 signatures "are almost always debated", claims the petitions site. Petition may not be put forward for debate if "the issue has already been debated recently or there's a debate scheduled for the near future". "Legalising cannabis could bring in £900m in taxes every year, save £400m on policing cannabis and create over 10,000 new jobs," writes James Richard Owen, who started the petition. "A substance that is safer than alcohol, and has many uses. It is believed to have been used by humans for over 4000 years, being made illegal in the UK in 1925."
The only petition to so far bring in more signatures is one calling for a debate over a vote of no confidence in Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt. The government has already responded to the petition -- something it must do when petitions reach 10,000 signatories. "The government is committed to delivering seven day services to make sure that patients get the same high quality, safe care on a Saturday and Sunday as they do on a weekday," it wrote.
Other popular petitions include a bid to allow transgender people to self-define their legal gender and a plea to immediately halt the use of Neonicotinoids on crops in order to save the UK's bee population. Both are currently awaiting responses from the government.
Multiple petitions call for votes of no confidence in Iain Duncan Smith, prime minister David Cameron and the Conservative government as a whole.
One flaw in the petitions system, which is still very new, is that there seem to be multiple petitions calling for the government to ban puppy farms in which beagles are bred for testing. While a significant number of people care about this issue, the duplicate petitions are undermining the chances of the issue receiving a response from the government or being considered for debate.
A couple of petitions also bring a touch humour to the service. One calls for correct grammar and punctuation to be used in adverts. Another insists the word for bread roll must be standardised across the UK and the EU to the word "cob". This petition has been rejected on the grounds that "petitions cannot be used to request action on issues that are outside the responsibility of the government".
Even though only two debates have acquired the number of signatures to be considered for debate, MPs can also consider petitions for debate before they reach 100,000 signatures.
Those setting up petitions should also be aware that the Petitions Committee could contact them to take part in further discussions with MPs or ministers -- something to keep in mind before launching a "comedy" petition about the price of milk.


Make bread on a gas hob (stove).
Make excellent bread without an oven using only a heavy-based large saucepan, a wooden spoon and a fish slicer or similar.
This method can be adapted to suit your own favourite bread recipe.
Take 500g of your favourite yeast-based bread readymix and place in a large heavy-based saucepan.
Add suffcient cold water to make a wettish dough. Make sure you have enough of the readymix to add a little more the following morning. This takes about five minutes.
After mixing, cover the pan with the lid and keep in a warm place overnight.
The following morning, add enough of your dry mix to make a soft dough.
Clean out the pan, dry thoroughly, and oil the base and sides.
Place the ball of dough into the pan, cover with the lid, and put in a warm place to rise.
When the dough has doubled in size, place the pan with the dough onto a hob ring or stove burner at the highest setting.
Heat until you can hear the dough starting to fry on the base.
Keep at the high heat for a couple of minutes. You should aim to get a good colour to your crust at this point.
Turn the heat down to the lowest setting and leave for about half an hour, letting the condensation drip onto the bread.
After half an hour has passed, use a fish slicer or similar to carefully turn the loaf over. You may need to tip the pan as you do this to make it easier.
Turn the heat up to full again just to get the other side to a nice crust.
Turn down the heat to the minimum again and cook with the lid off until the loaf makes a hollow sound when tapped. I find a further half hour works for me.
Now that your loaf is cooked, you can turn the heat up a little and cook the sides if you wish, turning the loaf from time to time as you keep a good eye on it so as not to burn the sides.
When you have finished the sides turn the loaf out onto a cooling rack and allow to cool thoroughly before slicing.
The crust on this bread is the best I have ever had: the moistness from the closed container coupled with the relatively intense heat from the base of the pan make a crust that is nice and chewy.

Your life changes with the speed of light in your teenage. Nothing seems permanent. It looks like the thing you have got is soon going to slip away from your hands. Lets face it people if we are talking about teenage, how can we not discuss the beauty factor. Everyone so wants to look beautiful while going through that phase of life. It is always good to take care of yourself as well as your body. We always look for tips and tricks that are affordable and enough time saving. Also, we know that you don't have much time to prep yourself to look good always. Here are some easy and quick beauty tips that can make you look fabulous always.
Anyone can afford Vaseline. The benefits are great in number. It can be used as a chap stick and can also be applied in a sparing amount to the dry skin. If you apply Vaseline on face at night and keep it overnight then chances are you getting a permanent glowing skin. But if you have oily skin then beware of the pimples you might develop.
You can get rid of the dark stains your nail paint has left on your nails. You just need to stick your nails in lemon halves for five minutes. This trick is used by models as they have to get their nails done very often with dark nail shades.
There is no need to buy a cream eye shadow. You can simply use a wet brush on the dry one. It will give the same look as the cream eye shadow does. Moreover, it will make the eye shadow look creamier and brighter.
Put a decent fragrance on your wrist and behind your ears before going out to meet someone.
You can simply give your hair a different look instead of going for a cut. Try new accessories such as bobby pins, clips and head bands.
Whether you brought a smoky smell from last night's party or your hair are making you smell really bad, just run a fabric softener sheet and it would make you ready to face a new day.
Apart from these things, consider drinking water as much as you can. 70% of human body is made up of water. Water is very important for our existence on earth. No matter how many beauty tips you get, nothing can replace the benefits of water. A hydrated body glows automatically and helps you remain healthy.

Are there any techniques for concentration? It sounds easy to concentrate, but there are individual who have difficulties in concentrating. Here's an easy concentration technique for them.
Concentration is an elusive state of mind. Ironically, the more you think or worry about concentration, the less you're concentrating on the task.
Sometimes, you are confused about the difference between concentration and meditation. Meditation is a self-directed practice for relaxing the body and calming the mind. We believe that meditation techniques came from religious sectors in India, China, Korea and Japan. Concentration is a technique or an action to focus on one thing in mind.
How to know or distinguish concentration?
In the midst of the playing cards, take about 6 cards, and tell your friend to choose one of those cards and let him remember the number. Your friend is now concentrating to remember one card he chose. Now, your friend can remember none of other 5 cards. It means that your friend concentrated on one card. This is concentration.
It is essential to do sport, work, study and many other things. Concentration perhaps is a MUST for everyone of us unintentionally to satisfy daily living.
Let's take the simple case of your schoolchildren who do their homework. "Hi, children, it's examination soon. You must concentrate more on your homework." Your children maybe just wandering how to concentrate for their homework.
Here, we tried to investigate how concentration occurs in the brain. At first, we requested an abacus champion to calculate a five-page accounting sheets in a schoolroom. When he started hitting the abacus, rock and roll music was played aloud, but surprisingly, the champion appeared to be not noticing the lousy music around him. It means the abacus champion was really concentrated calculating with the abacus.
Another instance was prepared. A famous magician was invited to a small room in a hospital. Three doctors were invited to see the magic. The doctors were told to find the trick. While the magician was performing at the stage, a nurse with a white pig passed through, then the nurse with a monkey passed through, and then three nurses passed through. However, when we asked about nurses passing through the stage, the three doctors did not notice them at all. The doctors were indeed concentrating to see the trick of the magic.
The abacus champion and the three doctors were able to concentrate easily. Or they were made to concentrate simply without any form of suggestion. Yes, concentration is born simply. Truly, anyone is made to concentrate simply. It is just a matter of a simple technique or brain system that triggers concentration.
For you to believe, let's try to make an "Egg and Spoon Race".
You can understand that all runners are concentrating not to drop the egg from the small spoon. However, when the loud speaker announces a certain story of a particular runner, the addressed runner dropped the egg. It means the runner's concentration was broken by the disturbance of the announcement.
We have learned that our brains will work very narrowly when we concentrate. Our brain consists of several parts such as for accounting, memory, viewing, and listening. When we concentrate, only the selected part of the brain works. The people who cannot concentrate usually try to listen or hear as much as possible.
Yes, the ear, hearing or listening noise could be the number one disturbance when concentrating.
What is the technique to eliminate such noise or obstacles when you want to concentrate?
We visited a toy manufacturer that has tremendous number of productions and all workers need serious concentration. A mistake or poor quality control will create a huge amount of loses in the production line, thus, high concentration of all workers are required in the factory. The manager of the factory told us that women have higher concentration ability than men. For that reason, the factory has applied all women workers in specific department. The factory is constructed with soundproof materials with several speakers mounted inside the ceiling.
No music sound comes from the speakers but sounds of stream, seaside, and sounds of forest. They are all sounds of nature.
From this, we understand that the sound that has nothing to do with workers can make them concentrate. The sound that creates them to think something like what happened during the egg and spoon race will disturb and make them hard to concentrate.
The sound technology for concentration has been applied quite a long time ago, especially in various offices in major cities in Japan.
Of course, these sounds of nature make people tired, too. How to eradicate such fatigue is also thought. It is very simple. Just let workers answer test questions in a paper, which will be delivered by the supervisor. Questions are so simple, such as writing down your birth date, mailing address, and names of your family. This simple act of insertion will create better concentration according to the office management.
Today, most factories and offices use computers. Concentrating on the monitor or screen will make some people dizzy or sleepy. The supervisor will bring them a paper to answer the simple test questions probably every one hour or two. In this way, concentration skill increases according to the management. Of course, the sound of nature keeps flowing from the ceiling.
From the above, you can surmise that it is important not to let your brain work on other obstacles or noise other than what you have to concentrate. This is an important point for those who cannot concentrate easily.
Probably, the following are also clues for concentration techniques to switch the brain "ON". For example, set a goal like..."If I'm able to concentrate well on this work, I will go to a restaurant to eat what I like" or "The school examination is coming, I will surely pass".
Before concentrating, relax and do not put yourself in place where your ears, eyes and interest will go around. Do a few times of deep breathing. Drinking a cup of tea or coffee is good. Taking a bath or shower is also good. All these preparations will trigger the brain "ON" for concentration.
Concentration makes us tired. It is the reason, as mentioned previously, that you write your name, address, and names of your friends during some hours of interval. By doing it, your concentration skill will increase.
There are Japanese temples where they teach Buddhism way of concentration and meditation. However, some supervisors of large factories told us that their methods are not applicable to their works. Technique of concentration differs on the place you apply. How is your idea, then?


Building upon the three visitor experience contexts identified by museum researchers John H. Falk and Lynn D. Dierking, this thesis identifies the possible integration points, where common data exists, and how to relate the data despite an institution's original or legacy non-relational databases. By identifying the integration points between personal, sociocultural and physical databases, museums may alter the collection of visitor information and the data sets of museum objects and people to access and analyze this data alongside each other to determine actionable insights to improve the visitor's museum experience. The methodology outlined in this thesis may be applied to an individual museum and potential networks of museums linked by geography or specialty.
Not all elements and metrics identifying the museum experience will be relevant for each museum. Cultural institutions need to map the visitor experience and align the touch points with the appropriate contexts. Museums have the opportunity to combine visitor information with artifact information to create a rich base of knowledge that could positively inform exhibit design, marketing efforts, and interactive visitor experiences that span multiple touch points in and outside of the physical museum space. The way to take advantage of this opportunity is to change visitor information collection processes and database design and allow employees across the museum to access this data. This will help them understand how context and empathy can be added to data so the organization can make better business decisions reflecting the needs, challenges and desires of their community at the intersection of personal, sociocultural, and physical contexts.
Over the next several months, I will be expanding my thesis topic, sharing my research, and exploring the concepts I was not able to publish in my thesis. The interactive experience is the holy grail for cultural institutions and is achievable. Think big, act small.


Half this country openly supports obvious, glaring, criminals. It's a criminal empire.
MOSCOW — Russia's Defense Ministry said Thursday the United States appeared to be running a clandestine biological weapons lab in the country of Georgia, allegedly flouting international conventions and posing a direct security threat to Russia — allegations the Pentagon angrily rejected.
… Giorgadze's materials cited the deaths of 73 volunteers who took part in tests of a new drug at the lab in 2015-2016.


PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Officials say a Butler County woman fraudulently accepted thousands of dollars in benefits while running a million-dollar business.
Pennsylvania Office of State Inspector General agents investigated allegations of fraud against Pittsburgh-area resident Kimberly Coleman after receiving information from the Cranberry Township Police.
According to officials, Coleman applied for and accepted almost $200,000 in state child care and SNAP assistance between June 2014 and November 2018.
Officials say during that same period of time, Coleman owned and operated a residential care business that received more than $1 million from the Department of Human Services for services provided. Coleman and her husband also entered an 11-month residential lease paying $8,900 a month with a $30,000 down payment.
Coleman allegedly submitted false information to state caseworkers so she could continue receiving benefits.
Officials say she submitted paystubs from a pizza restaurant on her husband's behalf, but her husband never worked at the restaurant. She also submitted false paystubs on her own behalf from a fictitious corporation at an address belonging to another property she owned but failed to disclose.
She also lied about her residential address so she could receive benefits through Allegheny County even though she lived in Butler County.
Officials say in all, Coleman stole $195,223 of state benefits over the course of four and a half years.
Coleman was charged with three counts of welfare fraud each graded as a felony of the third degree.

BEST SONGS EVER…THIS WEEK 8.8.18
Aug 8, 2018 by KUTX
KUTX host Laurie Gallardo shows us the best songs ever… for this week!
Christine and The Queens – "Doesn't Matter"
We'll start with one from Paris-based synth-pop outfit Christine and The Queens, led by songwriter Heloise Letissier, and the single "Doesn't Matter," from the forthcoming album, Chris. Now, this is gonna be the band's second album, which is coming out next month. With an infectious danceable beat, "Doesn't Matter" carries some heavy subject matter – like, contemplating one's existence, the belief in an omnipotent being, God, or if anything really means anything anymore. Bring it on.
Natalie Prass – "Short Court Style"
Up next: An artist that teamed up once again with producer Matthew E. White and his Spacebomb House Band to hone in on some tasty R&B, funk and disco vibes, Natalie Prass with "Short Court Style." Some soft, smooth and sweet vocals on this one, and pretty much throughout her album, The Future and the Past. And Natalie's here to remind you: Love is hard work. Do it.
Damien Jurado – "Random Fearless"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeJnL5MOpCQ
Last but not least, a longtime favorite of mine, the master of supreme subtleties, Damien Jurado, with "Random Fearless," from his self-produced album, The Horizon Just Laughed. The tones on this track may be soft, but don't be deceived; there's an intensity there burning like amber amid those hushed vocals and stripped-down rhythms. And this is a fire that takes you places. You're teleported in his gorgeous lyrical journey through human desire. "Random Fearless" is – dare I say it? – sexy.

خانه/Too many nutrients make microbes less responsive
Too many nutrients make microbes less responsive
khadem43 14 آذر 1396
Bacteria in lakes play a key role in maintaining water quality by absorbing excess nitrogen and phosphorus. They also help store carbon, which has implications for our climate. But, as it turns out, their ability to do these tasks varies depending on the makeup of the lake in which they live, according to a new study by University of Minnesota researchers that was funded by the National Science Foundation. In short, location matters most.
Phosphorus and nitrogen are two nutrients that, when added to lakes through runoff, cause them to become overgrown with algae and have other water quality problems. The study, published in ISME Journal, found that lakes with lots of nitrogen and phosphorus seem to have bacteria in the water that are less responsive to additional nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon.
"In some ways, adding too much phosphorus and nitrogen to lakes is similar to what happens with Type II diabetes—our lakes are becoming less able to respond to increasing carbon just as humans with diabetes become less able to respond to insulin in their body," says study author Jim Cotner, a professor at the University of Minnesota. "Too much of a good thing can lead to metabolic dysfunction that can be catastrophic."
Cotner and co-author Casey Godwin, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Michigan, collected individual bacterial species from 35 lakes throughout Minnesota. They investigated the characteristics of the bacteria present in each lake and examined variables linked to how bacteria in lakes might respond to increased phosphorus and a warming planet.
Other work has shown that lakes with more phosphorus and nitrogen have different species of microbes, plants, insects, and animals than more pristine lakes, but this is the first study to show that the species in polluted lakes are less able to respond to further added nutrients and perhaps more importantly, carbon. If more of the CO2 we produce is absorbed by microbes and plants in lakes, oceans, and other ecosystems, that means less CO2 will accumulate in Earth's atmosphere.
"When we compared the bacteria from the most phosphorus rich lakes to bacteria from lakes that were more pristine, one of the big differences was that the microbes from lakes with lots of phosphorus were less able to remove carbon from the water" says Godwin. As humans burn more and more coal and gas, we are releasing more carbon dioxide (CO2) to our atmosphere, yet the Earth's ecosystems have a limited capacity to absorb these increasing concentrations.

Technocracy is a proposed system of governance in which decision-makers are selected on the basis of their expertise in a given area of responsibility, particularly with regard to scientific or technical knowledge.

A Foot In Both Camps: Jonathan Gould
For our feature speaking to a player who has represented both clubs this weekend, we travel half-way around the world to speak to former Preston North End and Coventry City goalkeeper Jonathan Gould, from his farm in New Zealand!
Watch PNE Against Coventry City Live On iFollow PNE
'Gouldy' left the Lilywhites goalkeeping staff in August and returned to a country he had previously lived and worked, but he was delighted to catch up with iFollow PNE ahead of a game against two sides that have played an important part of his life.
Life in New Zealand has been different to the UK over the last 12 months, with most things continuing as normal, after some very stringent early lock downs, keeping 'Covid at the door', for the four-and-a-half-million residents of the two islands.
The 52-year-old has been working with the nation's national team, as well as with a team in the national league and alongside a local college… as well as tending to his sheep, which he admits he could 'only do for so long'!
And he started by reflecting on the injury to Declan Rudd, back in January, someone he had worked closely with in his time back at PNE last year.
"It was poor for him, because he had been in such good form leading into that," said the former Lilywhites custodian. "He'd made the position his own and I remember talking with him about contracts when the club were negotiating with him and one of the things I said to him at the time was that it was a really good football club, really stable behind the scenes and if he were to get injury and not have signed a contract, he would open himself up.
"It was part of the discussion as a mentor to Dec and a coach and as a friend that's the kind of advice you impart. [The injury] is not good for the club, because they have had to go and recruit a goalkeeper, but Iversen was someone we had been tracking. Jack Cudworth brought his name forward when we had a list of goalkeepers in case anything like this happened to Declan and he has come in and done a tremendous job."
Frankie McAvoy: "I Can't Ask For Any More"
With the change of manager in the last few months, Jonathan thinks the opportunity for whoever gets the full-time job will be an exciting one: "Frankie was probably going into a tougher job than people realised, because he had been such a close friend and colleague of Alex, so it kind of puts you under a bit more pressure, as you are stepping outside that coaching unit.
"The year I spent working with Alex, I got to know him so well and I respected his diligence and detail and that was pretty evident in our finish last year. It was disappointing for Alex, but it provides opportunity for others and the results that the club has had, the big win against Derby in the last couple of days is fantastic.
"It probably settles everybody's nerves, because they probably were jangling a little bit and you also have to remember – and it was something I spoke to Alex about when they had a change around of players – they take time to bed in and I would imagine it has helped that Frankie knew those players and was part of that recruitment drive, so it may have been a little bit easier than people may have expected.
"I just feel delighted for the club. You think of everything that we have all been through; we have no supporters, which means we have had no cash flow. I know how hard the guys work behind the scenes, how hard Peter [Ridsdale] works and for the club to come through that and know they have Championship football and supporters still to come in – you know what I feel about the club, it has always been so well run – I am just delighted that come that first game in August, and the sun is shining, I'd like to see a full house at Deepdale, I think that's what it deserves."
Coventry City are in a similar situation, three straight wins having all but secured their Championship status for 2021/22 and as a man with a lot of family connections to the Sky Blues, including his own playing time there, he is delighted for them, as well.
"My father was their top scorer when they first got into the top division and he managed them, he played for them and I was lucky enough to play for them in the Premier League," he explained.
Ben Whiteman Looking To Add To First Goal
"To see the job that Mark Robins has done and secured Championship football this year, he has done an absolutely tremendous job – again, without a huge amount of resource. They flirted with danger, but the last three wins on the bounce have secured Championship football for a club that probably should be in the Premier League, given its history.
"As we know, that is not always possible and it will be a harder job again next season, but for two clubs like Preston and Coventry to meet and probably still have fingernails left at the end of the game, is a nice thought at this time."
There is masses more with Jonathan, as we chat for 15 minutes with him about Coventry's return to the Ricoh Arena, the opportunity for the next full-time PNE manager, the return of fans and what it will mean, the ill-fated Super League and much, much more. Just click on the video at the top of the page to watch the full piece.
This weekend's game will see Jonathan Breeze back on the mic, for the Lilywhites' second trip to St Andrews this season; he will be joined by a co-commentator for live and exclusive coverage from 2.30pm on iFollow PNE, with all the usual camera angles, replays and graphics.

Q: How do I use the toast feature? I just started learning Android Studio. I want to display a toast notification by pressing a button on the widget. However, there is an error when using the getApplicationContext() function. Can you tell me how to fix it? Other things, including getBaseContext(), were the same..... The error message was "Cannot resolve method" getApplicationContext () ""  I didn't speak English, so I used Google Translator.... I'm so sorry if you can't understand...
package com.jhjsapp.widget;

import android.appwidget.AppWidgetManager;
import android.appwidget.AppWidgetProvider;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.RemoteViews;
import android.widget.Toast;

/**
 * Implementation of App Widget functionality.
 */
public class TestWidget extends AppWidgetProvider {

    static void updateAppWidget(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager,
                                int appWidgetId) {

        CharSequence widgetText = context.getString(R.string.appwidget_text);
        // Construct the RemoteViews object
        RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.test_widget);
        views.setTextViewText(R.id.appwidget_text, widgetText);

        // Instruct the widget manager to update the widget
        appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
    }

    @Override
    public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {
        // There may be multiple widgets active, so update all of them
        for (int appWidgetId : appWidgetIds) {
            updateAppWidget(context, appWidgetManager, appWidgetId);
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onEnabled(Context context) {
        // Enter relevant functionality for when the first widget is created
    }

    @Override
    public void onDisabled(Context context) {
        // Enter relevant functionality for when the last widget is disabled
    }

    public void butcli(View view){
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"버튼 눌림", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
}

This is JAVA code
enter image description here

A: You cannot show Toast message using getApplicationContext() because the Widget extends AppWidgetProvider. So you cannot get the current context.
You can try something like this :
public class testWidget extends AppWidgetProvider{

@Override
public void onUpdate(Context context, AppWidgetManager appWidgetManager, int[] appWidgetIds) {

final int N = appWidgetIds.length;

for (int i=0; i<N; i++) {
    int appWidgetId = appWidgetIds[i];

    Intent intent = new Intent(context, MainPage.class);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(context, 0, intent, 0);

    RemoteViews views = new RemoteViews(context.getPackageName(), R.layout.widgetlayout);
    views.setOnClickPendingIntent(R.id.button1, pendingIntent);

    appWidgetManager.updateAppWidget(appWidgetId, views);
   }
}

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    super.onReceive(context, intent);
    Toast.makeText(context, "Button Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

A: create a global variable first
private Context context;

then initialize context by adding this line to updateAppWidget() and onUpdate() and onEnabled() and onDisabled();
this.context=context;

then use toast like :
Toast.makeText(context,"버튼 눌림", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
