Um laço é uma insígnia feita a partir de um laço de fitas ou outro material, de forma circular, com cores distintivas, usada, normalmente, numa cobertura de cabeça. Também é referido como cocar, cocarda, roseta ou tope. Frequentemente usado
como símbolo oficial de estados soberanos, o laço foi também usado como símbolo político.

Descrição
Consiste normalmente numa roseta de fitas dobradas, geralmente com um botão ao centro. Além disso, duas ou mais tiras de fita podem pender da sua traseira. O material que constituía as fitas era historicamente o tecido. Contudo, no século XX, o plástico substituiu quase completamente o tecido.

História
A partir do século XV, várias monarquias europeias introduziram o uso de laços como insígnia para identificação da nacionalidade dos seus soldados. A origem destes laços reverte para as bandas ou fitas de cores distintivas usadas no braço ou coberturas de cabeça, pelos homens de armas do final da Idade Média, a fim de distinguir os amigos dos inimigos, tanto nos campos de batalha ou como em torneios. Laços de fita passaram a ser mais tarde usados nos capacetes, chapéus de abas, tricórnios, bicornes, barretinas, chapéus armados e outras coberturas de cabeça. O material e o local de aplicação do laço poderia variar conforme o tipo de cobertura. Por exemplo, em capacetes era comum a aplicação de laços em material metálico de grande dimensão na lateral, enquanto que em bonés de pala eram normalmente aplicados laços de pequena dimensão, semelhantes a botões, na parte frontal. Para além da significância deste tipo de insígnia como símbolo de lealdade a um monarca particular, o laço colorido servia como um distintivo de campanha comum e económico, em épocas em que as cores dos uniformes poderiam variar entre os vários regimentos de um mesmo exército.

No final do século XVIII, o uso de laços coloridos intensificou-se na Europa, servindo de sinal distintivo para demonstrar a lealdade dos seus usuários a um monarca, a uma nação ou a uma causa política. Além de serem usados em librés e em uniformes militares, também passou a ser comum o seu uso em trajes civis. Um laço poderia ser preso na lateral do tricórnio de um homem ou na sua lapela. As senhoras também o poderiam usar nos seus chapéus ou no cabelo.

Na França pré-revolucionária o laço da dinastia dos Bourbons era totalmente branco. Na Grã-Bretalha, os apoiantes de uma restauração jacobita usavam laços brancos, enquanto que a recentemente estabelecida monarquia de Hanôver usava um laço preto. Durante os distúrbios anticatólicos de Gordon, em Londres, o laço azul foi usado pelos arruaceiros como símbolo do sentimento antigovernamental.

Durante a Revolução Americana, o Exército Continental usou inicialmente laços de várias cores como uma forma improvisada de insignia de patente. Contudo, pouco depois, o referido Exército reverteu para o uso dos laços pretos herdados dos Britânicos. Mais tarde, quando a França se tornou uma aliada dos Estados Unidos, o laço branco dos franceses foi unido ao laço preto dos americanos, criando-se um laço preto e branco, usado como marca da aliança entre os dois países. Este laço passou a ser conhecido como "Cocar da União".

No contexto da Revolução Francesa, Camille Desmoulins incentivou a multidão que participou na Tomada da Bastilha a usar laços verdes. A cor verde foi no entanto rejeitada mais tarde, devido à sua associação com o Conde de Artois. Em vez disso, os revolucionários passaram a usar as cores vermelha e azul do brasão de Paris. Mais tarde, foi-lhes acrescentado o branco dos Bourbons, dando origem à famosa Cocarde tricolore (cocar tricolor) revolucionária.

Durante as guerras napoleónicas, as cocares tricolores (vermelha-branca-azul ou de outras cores) passaram a ser associadas aos regimes revolucionários aliados dos Franceses, enquanto que os laços monocolores ou bicolores eram associados aos regimes antirrevolucionários.

Em 1912 a França, necessitando de uma insígnia que identificasse facilmente a nacionalidade das suas aeronaves militares, começou a pintar, na sua fuselagem, cocares tricolores. Nisto foi seguida por uma série de países, que passaram a utilizar cocares reproduzindo os seus laços nacionais como insígnias aeronáuticas.

Os laços nacionais nos diversos países

Portugal
Até 1797 o laço nacional de Portugal utilizava as cores verde e branca, identificativas da Casa de Bragança. Esse laço, ao que parece, seria de pouca utilização, nomeadamente pelo Exército Português, cujos tricórnios do uniforme dispunham de um laço, mas de cor preta, usado apenas como enfeite e sem qualquer significado simbólico.

O uso generalizado do laço nacional foi introduzido nos uniformes militares a partir de 1797. Nessa altura a Casa Real Portuguesa mudou as suas cores para azul-vermelho (definido oficialmente como "azul-escarlate"). O verde e o branco voltaram então a ser, simplesmente, as cores privativas da Casa Ducal de Bragança e do seu Duque, o Príncipe do Brasil. Como cores Reais, o azul-escarlate passou a ser usado nos laços nacionais das coberturas de cabeça dos uniformes militares. Além disso, o azul e o escarlate foram adoptadas como cores principais das bandeiras dos regimentos de infantaria e como cores dos librés (uniformes) dos funcionários civis.

A Revolução Liberal de 1820 mudou as cores do laço nacional para branco-azul. Estas eram consideradas as verdadeiras cores heráldicas de Portugal, presentes na primeira bandeira e nas quinas das armas nacionais. Mais tarde, as novas cores do laço nacional foram também utilizadas na nova bandeira nacional da monarquia liberal.

Durante a Guerra Civil os absolutistas mantiveram como símbolo a laço nacional azul-vermelho, sendo o laço branco-azul o símbolo dos liberais. Na sequência da vitória dos liberais em 1834 o azul e branco tornaram-se definitivamente as cores nacionais.

Em 1910, na sequência da implantação da República são mudadas as cores base da bandeira nacional de azul e branco para verde e vermelho. Com consequência disso, o laço nacional passa a adoptar as novas cores de verde-vermelho. A cocar verde-vermelha também é adoptada como insígnia das aeronaves militares portuguesas a partir de cerca de 1914, até começar a ser substituída pela Cruz de Cristo em 1918.

O uso do laço nacional nos uniformes portugueses começou a cair em desuso a partir da década de 1930. No uniforme do Exército Português passou a ser usada como insígnia de nacionalidade o próprio escudo nacional sobre a esfera armilar, que dava um efeito semelhante aos laços redondos de seda ou de metal, até aí usados. Os uniformes policiais e civis seguiram a mesma linha. Actualmente o laço nacional verde-vermelho mantém-se na barretina do uniforme de gala do Colégio Militar.

Varnish as front-end load-balancing cache.
For any content-driven website, this is probably the worst idea of them all, and as you'll find out, it is trivial to implement most of the above caching strategies. Clearly, my single server arrangement is not going to be representative of your large app server cluster, so I urge you to evaluate all the options if you are anticipating scaling. Finding the right recipe for your server setup is going to be the fun part.
It's probably possible to tune this for shorter latency, but we got the main number we were looking for; we can push 14.57 requests/second without a cache. Not bad, until you get Slashdotted!
Django-Mingus makes good use of the cache template tag in the default templates. In this test, I enabled Memcache in Django and removed view caching so I could get an idea how segment caching affects performance. This page benefits from 10 template cache hits and 4 other Memcache hits used in some of Mingus's apps.
Enabling templatetag caching has given a significant speed boost to 38.18 requests/second. This is a 262% improvement over no cache. Response time is also improved, down from 682ms to an acceptable 260ms. Good, but there's still a lot of room for improvement.
The subtle increase in performance shouldn't deter you from implementing the tag though, as template caching bears the benefit that one segment can be cached and used across multiple pages (for example, a sidebar that is the same on different parts of the site).
Django comes equiped with middleware that provides frontend proxy-style full page caching with almost no configuration. Full page caching is clearly where you're going to find the greatest benefits. Something like Squid, Varnish, or NGINX is better suited for this job, but the ease of setup makes this middleware useful for environments where a minimal amount of complexity is desired. Because of the greater performance, I'm running 10,000 requests instead of 1,000 to get a better sample.
This is about as fast as Django's going to run on this hardware without a more sophisticated caching proxy. We've revved Django's internal caching to give us 1103 requests/second, over 75 times as many as we had with no caching. However, we're still passing every request into Python, which gives us limits we cannot avoid without moving the caching layer into the frontend server. For this we'll need to explore NGINX or Varnish.
Now we're getting serious! I was serving 2703 requests/second through memcache on my VPS. Now we're in Slashdotting territory. This is over 185 times as fast as vanilla Django. The important thing to note here is that we're accomplishing the same thing as Django's built-in two-part caching middleware, but now we are doing it 2.5 times faster.
Now we're rocking 3597 requests/second. NGINX can serve static files like nobody's business.
Varnish is a very powerful load balancing caching proxy that is made for heavy traffic. I'm configuring it as an HTTP proxy to my NGINX server to see how it stacks up.
Varnish is very competitive in raw speed, serving 3623 requests/second, an impressive number, nearly 250 times higher than if there was no cache. Varnish is also very configurable and built for extremely high traffic.
Every scaling problem has it's own variables that can greatly affect the types of decisions that need to be made to implement a good caching stategy. For example, a multi-server setup is likely to behave much different given the same benchmarks. There are also more complicated factors such as how to treat logged-in users and cookies. There are workarounds for cookie hashing problems (such as removing the "Vary: Cookie" response header) that can add complexity to certain environments, so there is more to consider than raw performance.
Also make note that not all of these are mutually exclusive. A good combination of caching might be internal template caching plus either Varnish or NGINX acting as a frontend cache. My best suggestion is to experiment and see what works best for your environment, and I hope this post was helpful for summarizing your options.

A: This should fix the "Sorry, command-not-found has crashed!..." issue:
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
sudo locale-gen en_US.UTF-8 # sudo required on ubuntu 20.04
sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales

A: If any of the above solutions don't work, it means "command-not-found" utility itself is misconfigured.
Simply remove the utility,
sudo apt purge command-not-found

and install again,
sudo apt install command-not-found

A: this is better with a final asterisk :
sudo chmod o+r /var/lib/command-not-found/commands.db*
>----------------------------------------------------^

A: A bad WSL upgrade messed up some of my file permissions. None of the other answers worked for me, but this did:
sudo chmod o+r /var/lib/command-not-found/commands.db

A: Have you tried changing export LC_CTYPE="utf-8" to export LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"? The latter references a valid locale name on my system. You can see the valid locale names on your system by running locale -a.

A lot of people credit Gram Parsons with inventing Country Rock, but it was John David Souther who helped to make Country Rock so popular in the late '60s and early '70s. Souther moved in with Glen Frey (pre-Eagles) and the two started Longbranch Pennywhistle, a post-Cosmic American Music/pre-Country Rock outfit that created beautiful songs and amazing vocal harmonies. (If you happen to own this very out of print and rare piece of vinyl, you are one lucky record geek.) When Frye went on to form the Eagles, Souther remained close by as a contributing songwriter; he penned such hits as "New Kid In Town," "Best of My Love," and "Heartache Tonight." Souther went on to produce some Linda Ronstadt records and pursued solo recording endeavors. Though he was never as successful as the Eagles, Souther did turn out some damn good records on his own and with Chris Hillman and Richie Furay.

Amazon DynamoDB is a great NoSQL cloud database. It is cheap, highly reliable and rather powerful. I'm using it in many web systems.
There is one feature that it lacks, though—auto-increment attributes.
Every time you add a new item to the table, a new value of id has to be set. And this has to be done with concurrency in mind. SQL databases like PostgreSQL, Oracle, MySQL and others support auto-increment features. When you add a new record to the table, the value of the primary key is omitted and the server retrieves the next one automatically. If a number of INSERT requests arrive at the same time the server guarantees that the numbers won't be duplicated.
However, DynamoDB doesn't have this feature. Instead, DynamoDB has Atomic Counters and Conditional Updates, which are very similar features. Still, they're not exactly the same.
In case of an atomic counter, you should create a supplementary table and keep the latest value of id in it.
In case of conditional updates, you should retry a few times in case of collisions.
To make life easier in a few of my applications, I created a simple web service—stateful.co. It provides a simple atomic counter feature through its RESTful API.
First, you create a counter with a unique name. Then, you set its initial value (it is zero by default). And, that's it. Every time you need to obtain a new value for id column in DynamoDB table, you make an HTTP request to stateful.co asking to increment your counter by one and return its next value.
stateful.co guarantees that values returned will never duplicate each other—no matter how many clients are using a counter or how fast they request increments simultaneously.
You can review authentication parameters for RtSttc constructor at stateful.co.
The service is absolutely free of charge.


A report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) claims the IRS was overbilled for work on its new communications portal. The portal is the key component in the IRS' electronic tax return filing system.
According to the report, TIGTA audited three months of invoices submitted by private contractors. During that time period, the audit found 161 instances when invoices were submitted for work done outside the billing period. The audit found several instances where individual contractors claimed to have worked more than 240 hours in a single month. Worse, the audit found the IRS didn't properly review invoices and obtain documentation prior to payment.
Although every federal agency has an inspector general, TIGTA is one of the more vocal agency watchdogs. In recent years, IRS has frequently disagreed with its overseers and has been quite public in doing so.
We aren't sure where the truth lies but we know TIGTA has been vigilant in its oversight of the IRS. Unfortunately no inspector general or agency watchdog can prevent and stop all fraud. Whistleblowers remain the best defense against fraud and overbilling in government contracts.
Under the federal False Claims Act, a whistleblower can receive up to 30% of whatever the government collects from wrongdoers. With triple damages and penalties of up to $11,000 for each false invoice, potential whistleblower awards can be huge. Two of our clients have received awards of approximately $50 million each.
To qualify as a whistleblower, one must have inside, original source information about overbilling the government or some other type fraud involving a government program or agency.

Meet The Gift Indies Bucking The Retail Trend
By Sue Marks
With Monsoon/Acessorize the latest in a long line of independents seeking a company voluntary agreement (CVA) to give them the opportunity to reduce rates and close unprofitable stores, it's the independents, to include gift independents, who are opening new stores and feeling confident about the rest of the year.

"We trade in popular seaside locations which all seem to be bucking the trend," comments Keiron Cockley, co-owner of Brocante which has shops in Fowey, Mevagissey and St Ives. "The staycation is very much in vogue, and it's with this in mind that we are opening the doors to our fourth Brocante in July and our second shop in Fowey. It's a chance to expand our offer and add new lines, as well as to capitalise on our current customer base."
Above: Brocante, St. Ives.
MOOCH, which has a shop on St Giles Street in Northampton, and a concession in Bell, has just opened a third store in the market town of Olney in Buckinghamshire. Explains MOOCH's co-owner Paul Roberts, "we've added a few new products to the range, and will also be featuring many favourites. Plus, we will be opening a fourth shop in Towcester this summer."
Top: The new MOOCH gift shop in Olney.
Amanda Oscroft, co-owner of Love It in Bury St Edmunds and Stamford, adds: "This year has been fantastic for us. There seems to be a big drive to help independents. We have a shop in Stamford where there is a great #ShopStamford campaign that is really helping to boost the high street. So far, we've had a great year, to include having our best first quarter since we opened the shop 22 years ago."
Above: Love It in Bury St Edmunds.
It's a similar story at Mooch Gifts & Home in Bewdley and Stourport. "We remain very positive that people are coming back to support their local high streets," says co-owner Jon May. "In fact, we have seen increased sales year on year in both stores. May saw the refurbishment of our Bewdley store, and even though we were closed for a week, we still ended 20% up for the month, year on year.

Adds Katrina Roberts-Pollock, owner of Coorie Doon in Gourock: "The first six months of the year have been really great, to include a period where we had a skip outside while the coffee shop next door carried out some renovations. I think that independents like ourselves are bucking the trend because we offer a friendly personal experience, our prices are fair and people feel that they can trust us," says Katrina Roberts-Pollock, owner of Coorie Doon in Gourock.

Q: How to bring SDLSurfaceView to front when placed inside a layout? I'm using a FrameLayout to hold two views, one on top of the other. One is an AdView and the other is a SDLSurfaceView:https://github.com/kivy/python-for-android/blob/master/src/src/org/renpy/android/SDLSurfaceView.java
Basically I want the AdView to be placed in front of the SDLSurfaceView but only when an actual Ad is being displayed. The ad loads after about 30 seconds after starting the app but if I click on where the ad should be when no ad is displayed, it still opens up a link. How do I keep the SDLSurfaceView in front of the AdView until the AdView actually loads?
Here is a sample of what I have so far:
mView = new SDLSurfaceView(
            this,
            mPath.getAbsolutePath());
Hardware.view = mView;

//CREATE WIDGETS LAYOUT PARAMETERS
FrameLayout.LayoutParams lp = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(
    FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
    FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
    Gravity.BOTTOM|Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

//CREATE ADVIEW
adView = new AdView(this);
adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111");
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);

//ADD LAYOUT PARAMETER TO ADVIEW
adView.setLayoutParams(lp);

//SET AD LISTENER
adView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAdLoaded() {
            super.onAdLoaded();
            adView.bringToFront();
            adView.invalidate();
            mView.invalidate();
        }

        @Override
        public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
            super.onAdFailedToLoad(errorCode);
            adView.getParent().bringChildToFront(mView);
            mView.invalidate();
            adView.invalidate();
        }
    });

//CREATE LAYOUT
FrameLayout layout = new FrameLayout(this);
//SET CONTENT TO LAYOUT
setContentView(layout);
//ADD VIEWS TO LAYOUT
layout.addView(adView);
layout.addView(mView);
//BUILD AD REQUEST
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
    .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
    .build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);

I am using kivy to create an adroid app and python-for-android to package the apk. The sample is part of my PythonActivity.java used by the python-for-android packager.

A: You can show the ad when it's loaded and remove from the layout when it isn't loaded or displayed. In this case, you'd have to place the adview on top of the SDLSurfaceView and set its visibility modes:
I would do it this way:
mView = new SDLSurfaceView(
            this,
            mPath.getAbsolutePath());
Hardware.view = mView;

//CREATE WIDGETS LAYOUT PARAMETERS
FrameLayout.LayoutParams lp = new FrameLayout.LayoutParams(
    FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
    FrameLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,
    Gravity.BOTTOM|Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL);

//CREATE ADVIEW
adView = new AdView(this);
adView.setAdUnitId("ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/6300978111");
adView.setAdSize(AdSize.BANNER);
adView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

//ADD LAYOUT PARAMETER TO ADVIEW
adView.setLayoutParams(lp);

//SET AD LISTENER
adView.setAdListener(new AdListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAdLoaded() {
            super.onAdLoaded();
            adView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

        }

        @Override
        public void onAdFailedToLoad(int errorCode) {
            super.onAdFailedToLoad(errorCode);
            adView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

        }
    });

//CREATE LAYOUT
FrameLayout layout = new FrameLayout(this);
//SET CONTENT TO LAYOUT
setContentView(layout);
//ADD VIEWS TO LAYOUT
layout.addView(mView);
layout.addView(adView);
//BUILD AD REQUEST
AdRequest adRequest = new AdRequest.Builder()
    .addTestDevice(AdRequest.DEVICE_ID_EMULATOR)
    .build();
adView.loadAd(adRequest);


My second activity today was at Hanovers for the Tornados 15th Anniversary Party. Apparently the cold windy weather didn't have too much effect, because we had a good selection of clubs there. It was a very relaxed affair, with snacks, music and fellowship. Oh, and they did draw the raffle winner for the Home Defense Shotgun. I didn't win but somebody did, they had to call him, and I think they got him out of bed, but they got a winner! Now, I'm off to bed.

I am aware I skipped a week, I have no excuse, I've just been living the dream flying from New York to LA and struggling to find a Starbucks to sit down in and write blog posts. You can however, look forward to AMAZING content on my "The Mindfoodist" part of the blog, up in the menu next to the Instagram link. I have posts coming up about my travels and a NYC food guide. You will be more than satisfied.
Todays recipe is high in iron, super simple, super healthy, super quick and super easy. Oh, and super delicious.
Chop your onion and roast it in a sauce pan and a little oil. Then dice your tomatoes and add them. Then add your beets and the garlic. Add water if needed.
Then you just blend it up adding as much water as you want, depending on how soupy you want the soup. You could also use coconut milk for a little exotic note.
Finally add salt & pepper, plus a little garlic basil and you're done.
As promised super quick, but really tasty.

Planting Milkweed for Monarchs
CLC aims to help the regal butterfly bounce back from severe decline
The monarch butterfly is in trouble. And that means our ecosystem is in trouble. The monarch population in the United States has been reduced by 90 percent in the last 20 years. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing a petition to have them added to the endangered species list.
The decline has been blamed on illegal logging in the butterflies' Mexican wintering grounds and the drop in milkweed habitat in the U.S. due to overuse of pesticides in current agricultural practices.
Monarchs depend not only on nectar-producing plants, but also milkweed as the primary food source for their caterpillars.
By protecting natural lands and actively working with the US Fish and Wildlife Service to restore milkweed habitat on conserved properties, we're helping the monarch recover!
In October, staff and volunteers planted more than 700 milkweeds propagated by the North Carolina Botanical Garden on two of our conserved properties, Buffalo Creek Preserve in Mt. Pleasant and Seven Oaks Preserve in Belmont.
The planting is part of a national monarch conservation project to protect and increase habitat needed for this iconic insect. Learn more.


Bacon Wrapped Burgers with and without dress out!
It is true that constructing a bacon wrapped burger is pretty easy. The burger patty is shaped and formed and the bacon is wrapped around the outside and held in place with toothpicks. Presto! There's your burger masterpiece. However, if you want to take your bacon wrapped burgers to another dimension, keep reading. Your taste buds will do the moonwalk for this flavor packed creation!
Thoroughly crumble apart the 4 pounds of ground beef.
Sprinkle half the packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix.
With clean hands, combine the ground beef and dressing mix together.
Sprinkle the remaining packet of dressing mix and mix again.
Add half the cup of bread crumbs and mix thoroughly.
Add the remaining bread crumbs and mix again.
Thoroughly beat the 2 eggs in a bowl and add to the mix.
Form the patties. At 8 ounces each, 4 lbs of ground beef should easily yield 8 burgers.
Place bacon slices around the outside of the burgers and hold in place with toothpicks.
Sprinkle Lawry's All Purpose Beef Seasoning on both sides of the burgers. They are ready!
It is now time to grill. Hopefully the coals in your grill are all white and ready to go. If you have a grill that has a two layer rack system, your burgers are going to turn out perfectly cooked. Place the burgers on the higher level rack evenly spaced. Close the grill top and open up the vent to let some smoke escape. It is important to close the grill top down so that the coals won't come to a complete flame from the oxygen.
Allow the burgers to grill for 8 to 10 minutes on the first side. This will give you enough time to melt the butter in a skillet or flat top grill surface. Once the butter is melted, add the Portobello mushrooms, onions, and garlic salt and saute to your preference.
You can now flip your burgers. Let them grill for an additional 8 minutes with top closed. After time has expired, check your burgers. The bacon may be fully cooked or may not. Because the bacon I used was of medium thickness, it wasn't as crisp as I preferred. I left the top open and allowed the coals to catch oxygen to create a flame. I then moved the burgers down to the lower level and allowed direct contact of burger and flame. This has to be done quickly in order to prevent burning of the burger and bacon.
The burgers are now done and you can begin the construction process. Add the mozzarella cheese to the burgers immediately to promote melting. Top the burgers off with your sauteed mushrooms and onions and add whatever condiments you like. Get ready for a taste buds party!
Note: This recipe mix design for burgers is also great for hamburger steaks smothered in gravy. Just follow the instructions for the mix and prepare the burgers in your favorite skillet. Save the drippings to make a rich brown gravy!

From building site to glitzy dinner, Keepmoat's charity dinner raises £10,000 for Changing Lives
Corporate Support, News|9th November 2017
Housebuilder, Keepmoat Homes and its partners recently swapped high-vis for black tie for an evening to raise funds for North East based, national charity, Changing Lives.
Over 200 Keepmoat employees, suppliers and subcontractors donned their glad-rags for the charity dinner, raffle and auction, where everyone dug deep for Changing Lives, who provide specialist support services for 21,000 vulnerable people and their families every year, helping people to make positive and lasting changes in their lives.
The event was held at The Biscuit Factory in Newcastle and is Keepmoat's second charity fund raising dinner.
Richard Bass, Regional Managing Director for Keepmoat, said:
"We're delighted to have raised such a substantial amount for Changing Lives and would like to thank our suppliers and subcontractors for supporting what was a really enjoyable evening. The money raised will provide much needed funds for the charity, which was established 45 years ago here in the North East.
"Keepmoat prides itself in supporting and improving communities and a large part of this involves engaging with and supporting local charities and good causes wherever possible."
Stephen Bell OBE, CEO of Changing Lives, said:
"On behalf of the 21,000 people Changing Lives supports across the country each year, I'd like to say a massive thank you to Richard Bass and the Keepmoat team for all their hard work and enthusiasm in arranging such a fantastic and fun night which was so well supported by Keepmoat suppliers, friends and staff.
The work we do in the North East and beyond supports people at the edge of society, facing unimaginable hardship including homelessness, sexual exploitation, domestic violence, life threatening addictions and barriers to employment.
Businesses such as Keepmoat are key to the success of our frontline services and we were delighted they chose to support our work. Together we are Changing Lives."

Taking time in organising a closet is usually happen to most of us. And at a time like that, we consider using custom closet organiser. But sometimes, it is not that simple to install the organiser. That is why you have options to install it by yourself or hiring people to do that. If you want to hire someone, be sure that you hire someone who is killed in this area. Discuss it before hand with them how you want the closet area to look, the amount you will pay for the finished project if you will provide the tools, the deadline for completing the project, or they need to bring their own.
If you are willing to install the closet by yourself, of course, you will save some money. But gather up some information too. It's not bad to ask around how to instal that so you won't face difficulties. Most custom closet products can be installed using basic tools. Usually you only need a flat head screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver, a level, a hammer, and a drill. Take a few minutes to make sure you have all the tools you need and read the instructions carefully before you begin putting the custom closet products together. If you are missing any parts you have two options, contact the customer service for the manufacturer. You can also go to the hardware store and purchase the missing parts yourself.
Make sure you follow the instructions if you are using a closet organiser kit for the proper order of installing the pieces. Install them from the bottom up if you purchased separate pieces of closet organisers. It is also a good idea to have each area for the particular item outlined. It is important that you adjust things as necessary. You can add wall anchors or braces if you don't have any studs to attach the closet organisation products to. Be sure to secure each item is level before you secure it in place to get the best result.

As residential elevators have become more affordable, the next step in luxury is to create a custom design. Custom residential lifts are built according to your expectations. This includes the design and architecture of the elevator cab and hoistway as well as the materials used. From high-end metals to exotic woods, almost nothing is off limits when designing a custom residential elevator with Artisan Elevators. Some common designs for large or small residential elevators include birdcage elevators and panoramic designs. While both of these types of designs are possible with the help of our team of master crafters and engineers, so are many others.
Creating a residential elevator from scratch is a joint effort between you and our artisans. After the type of elevator has been decided upon, you and our designers will work together to define every detail of your vision. We can create residential lifts and elevators in a wide range shapes, sizes, and styles. For a contemporary, minimalist feel, perhaps you would like a panoramic glass elevator. Residential spaces with more of an antique feel might be better suited for a birdcage elevator. Want the cab of your residential lift to perfectly match the interior of your home? This can be discussed and drawn into a two-dimensional plan. Want to create something more elaborate? This can also be realized.
After we've sketched out and settled on your design, our team will create a three-dimensional model so you can see how the elevator will look from all sides. This is your chance to make sure that every detail is exactly as you'd like it. Once this design has been finalized, our engineers will test the elevator before it's installed in your home. Once we're satisfied with the quality of your lift, residential installation can begin.
A large part of creating custom residential elevators comes down to the frame. Although certain styles, like birdcage or panoramic, can be designed using several the mechanism options, one type of mobility system may be better-suited for your home than another. The best residential elevators will be designed to take into account the physical space available as well as the home's aesthetic. Choose from hydraulic, winding drum, machine traction drive, and pneumatic elevators for your small residential lift.
Residential home elevators should express the character of the house, and at Artisan Elevators, we have residential elevators for sale to satisfy any taste. When you commission Artisan Elevators to craft your residential lifts, you can expect a high-end, luxury elevator. For residential home design and installation, we engage you in the entire process of designing and installing your small residential elevator. Contact us today to start creating the best residential elevator for your space.

UnGoogle: The Right To Be Forgotten
23rd February 2015 · IT Talent
"Go – Go – Gadget – Chips!"
If somebody asked you to describe yourself, would your answer depict the equivalent of what Google would have to say about you?
It's always going to be a heated talking point when two major organisations come head to head; in this case, the European Court of Justice, Europe's highest court, and the tech king that is Google. In this way, it can become easy to forget that a dominant force like Google is even legible to come under mass fire and criticism.
More of our personal history than we care to habitually ponder exists on Google databases and, as any recruiter can tell you, it is the online face that you show to the world, whether it encompasses a full and correct portrait of you or not. Search engines are familiar with your location, previous messages and communication, photographs, internet searches, videos, interests, average spending and even your voting habits.
The significance of this selective profile can often be distorted by a lack of context, though. In real life, information sediments over time, allowing people to move on and become unburdened by past events that now lie devoid of purpose, but computer technology doesn't quite allow for the same natural and humanly process. This was the foundation for Gonzalez' small but critical battle to constrain our digital identities, habitually lost to corporations, governments and each other. Whilst it's an oddity that we can rely on the internet for 'truth' or 'history' or 'memory', it's elusive to ignore that Google's commercially prioritised list of an imperfect collection of digital traces still has responsibilities to be held accountable for.
Generally, the European Union's data protection laws are designed to protect the integrity of information about people. 'Outdated' or 'invalid' information is not as such a new phenomenon. For instance, if a credit scoring agency has wrongly disclosed information about you, you can legally challenge this and demand that they make it right and just. A longstanding principle also lies in UK domestic law under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 that after a given period of time, some criminal convictions are considered to be 'spent' and need not to be referred to in job applications or civil proceedings. However, Europe decided that with the increasing expansion of data retention, this idea ought to be extended. It is interesting to note that the US, by contrast, upholds that everything should be held potentially publishable, as embodied in the First Amendment regarding the infringement of freedom of speech.
The case at hand was brought by a Spanish citizen, Mr Costeja Gonzalez, after he failed to secure the deletion of an auction notice. His home had once been repossessed, dating back to 1998, but since his house had long been auctioned to recover his social security debts, he argued that he had resolved the issue and so this should no longer be linked to him in pertinent Google searches. As such, the EU court has now backed the 'right to be forgotten'. The term was previously coined in the EU data protection Directive, but was reiterated in this case to enforce that Google must erase 'inadequate, irrelevant or no longer relevant' data from results, when a public member requests so.
The ruling applies specifically to search engines and not to journalistic endeavour. Hence why, even though technically the original content in this case was published in a Spanish newspaper and later republished on the internet, Google is being hit to delete the content whilst the newspaper in question comes under the bracket of being regarded as "media" under EU data protection law. (Google has explicitly opted out of being described as a "media" company.)
Judges found that if an individual desires links on search results to be removed on the grounds that they wish related pages to be forgotten after a certain and sufficient amount of time, then this is approved given that this information becomes incompatible with existing data protection laws. In other words, data has to be erased in light of the time frame that has elapsed, if it is now excessive, unnecessary and irrelevant. The ruling added that this could include data that was once accurate and lawfully published, but over the course of time has become incompatible with the data protection Directive.
Google has argued that they are an index for online data and should not have to act as a censor. They added that there is a misconception that Google didn't allow for deletion before, even though they have removed data, particularly regarding copyright violations and previous criminal convictions. They similarly motioned that this legal transition raises queries over removals of information held by companies whom are outside of the jurisdiction and thus not bound by its statute. Nevertheless, Google has agreed to cooperate accordingly post – ruling, and have stated that they now need to take the time to analyse the implications. Unsurprisingly, requests are now piling in to Google.
Indeed, further arguments have been put forward, regarding the negative or contradictory implications of this case. Firstly, people worry that this sort of data protection will collide with the value of freedom of expression and freedom of information. Thus, some careful boundaries must be put in place as to balance mutual interests.
There's also confusion as to the practicality of the ruling. What if the individual inviting deletion is an individual that's involved in the public eye? Should they be subject to the same statute, disregarding their social status? Public interest demands that relevant information remains accessible, which is the reason for why information about politicians, public officials, criminals and professionals (including negative reviews) is rightly and readily searchable. But distinctions as to what is in the 'public's interest' are regularly not as straight – forward as they may appear. A line must also be drawn between the right to be forgotten and the right to privacy; whilst the right to privacy constitutes of information unknown or which shouldn't be known to the public, the right to be forgotten contrastingly is information that was publically known once but should now not be acknowledged or utilised by third parties.
Further, it has been contested that we are often irresponsible, unsophisticated and over – trusting in what we disclose online. Therefore, this ruling may take the onus off of individuals whom ought to assert more personal responsibility, autonomy and control over their online activity. Then again, this wouldn't apply to circumstances whereby the distribution of sensitive information is being involuntarily revealed by third parties and not by ourselves or the person it circulates. Surely everyone should be entitled to make mistakes without someone being able to research it, to a certain extent? Moreover, the ruling has been dubbed the 'right to silence pasts events that are no longer occurring', but is this actually just allowing people to rewrite their histories and fool others?
Clearly, despite the possible repercussions, the judgment has meant some alterations to the modern technology industry. With billions relying on Google's usage, these legal implications will inevitably stem down into many coordinating companies. The Ministry of Justice claimed that Europe's commissions' proposals could cost British businesses huge amounts, including many leading data and tech firms.
Subsequently, other search engines are affected if they complete business in Europe (eg. Yahoo and Bing) and it has been recognised that a search engine must be treated as a 'data controller' under data protection laws in all EU member states. In regards to this, data protection lawyers have said the decision means that Google can no longer be regarded as a legally "neutral intermediary."
This doesn't mean that Google's index will be emptied. The ruling is very carefully phrased; someone who wants information about them taken out of the index will have to apply to Google, then it is up to Google to weigh up whether it's in the public's interest for that information to remain accessible. Even post – deletion, this will often mean that the information is still out there somewhere; somebody just needs to quest a little deeper and longer to source it.
Despite allegations and concerns that Google will adopt a much 'broader interpretation' of the ECJ ruling than required (watch this space for whether that's validated or not), a clear victory has still been achieved regarding the protection of personal data for Europeans. Mr Costeja Gonzalez's legal success vs. Google marks the right to try to define what our public, online personas look like. There's an urgency for search engines to act more intelligently, with the command of empathy and respect that individuals would employ in real life when hoarding sensitive information. The point of having rights against search engines is not as such to manipulate memory, however, to make it less prominent when justified. But, having already given a frightening amount away, how much can we realistically retract?

Good riddance, 2016! You've been a tumultuous year, 2016, and since this New Year number ends in 7, we can hope it lives up to its reputation as a bearer of good luck.
For The Bulletin, November 2016 was the final month we printed a newspaper. From now on, The Bulletin remains "in The Cloud," available here online at www.thebulletin.ca.
With the exception of one November in 2010, The Bulletin has been regularly printed each month since 1998 when it made its first appearance as the St. Lawrence Neighbourhood Community Bulletin. The name change to The Bulletin came a few years later as our popularity grew in other Downtown neighbourhoods and our mailed circulation soared to 50,000 each month.
The economy was strong in those early years. It easily supported our expansion and The Bulletin was immensely profitable. But 2007 saw the start of this current economic depression which began to erode retail sales in the following year and thus our advertising clients were more frugal. And the postal rates were rising.
The printed media are very likely doomed as the economy continues to hurt advertisers who can't afford to promote themselves as in the past. Newspapers and magazines are trimming their printing and delivery costs and leaning heavily on their websites and other electronic outlets to deliver editorial content. Website ads are increasing, they're quite cheap and offer the advantage of linking to an advertiser's website to bring potential customers right into their electronic front doors.
The Bulletin's website has been active since 2001 and our plan is to continue to serve Downtown readers and advertisers at www.thebulletin.ca. We are developing solid new ways of serving our substantial array of online readers. For local advertisers it means they can promote their businesses at prices they can't afford not to take advantage of.
Are printing presses for newspapers and magazines the next buggy whip?
Happy New Year! Here's to a prosperous and healthy 2017 and beyond!
This is a super awful commenting feature. If you want to see some life in here, I'd fix it. I typed my comment, which was promptly disappeared because I didn't fill out this field 'after' logging on successfully. These fields didn't even appear to be part of the commenting system. I'm outta here.
My story? My story is this website is a mess.
Kind of miss the paper edition—it was usually absorbed when in the "Reading Room." I too am like you, learned computer-ing in my 40s on early hardware. Look forward to reading from now on via tablet.

Resident Evil Outbreak, known as Biohazard Outbreak (バイオハザード アウトブレイク ?) in Japan, is a single player game with online playability for the PlayStation 2 initially released in 2004. This game was the first in the Resident Evil series to feature online multiplayer support, although online support was not available for the PAL versions of the game. Outbreak was produced by Tsuyoshi Tanaka, and depicts a series of episodic storylines in Raccoon City set during the same general time period as Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. Outbreak was followed by a standalone expansion entitled Resident Evil Outbreak: File #2.
1.1 Scenarios
The player chooses a scenario, difficulty level, and a character. The difficulty level is tied to what enemies and items the player encounters as they progress through the scenario. The game has five scenarios, each of which has an event checklist consisting of special actions that the player must perform to reach 100% completion. Upon doing so the player will unlock "Infinity Mode" in which all the player's weapons never break or run out of ammunition.
Each scenario also has "SP" items. These are invisible items hidden throughout the level, and are randomly generated on two paths. There are twenty scenario items for each scenario, and twenty items specific to each character hidden across the five scenarios. If acquired, these items unlock new costumes and the option to listen to their ad-libs.
Players could connect to the internet servers using a broadband connection and a network adapter. Account registration and login was required. Once players connected and logged in, they could then choose between Free Mode and Scenario Mode. Free Mode took place in a lobby and allowed players to create their own games, scenarios, and difficulty level. Scenario Mode would choose the scenario and players automatically. When a player first started online, they would begin on the Outbreak scenario and progress from there. If the player wished to stop playing, they could save their data and start off from the scenario they were up to at the time. If the player had beaten a scenario, they acquired a star by their name.
On December 31, 2007, Capcom shut down the US servers for Outbreak.
The beginning of Outbreak is set a couple of days after the initial outbreak of the T-virus in Raccoon City, moments before the crisis erupts into complete chaos. The game starts with the eight characters at J's Bar, unaware of what is happening until a lone zombie wanders into the bar and attacks one of the employees named Will. After that the characters must make it through the city. The game ends in the final moments of the same incident, with the player attempting to escape Raccoon City before the US government launches a missile strike to eliminate the threat posed by the T-virus. The player controls one of eight characters, or numerous supporting characters who can be selected in their place. Gameplay events transpire across various regions of Raccoon City and span over a period of several days.
Resident Evil Outbreak was originally known as Biohazard Online. Developer Capcom released various pieces of media under this name in 2002, including pictures featuring the eight main characters wandering around the Arklay Mountains and a trailer demonstrating the ad-lib system and character communication.[1]
The title was later changed to Network Biohazard and information was given that the game was to include over twenty scenarios. The final title became Biohazard: Outbreak (Resident Evil: Outbreak outside Japan) with the number of scenarios reduced to five.
The game received above average reviews and sold 1.45 million copies.[2]

Resident Evil Outbreak is a game in the Resident Evil series
In the US, the Resident Evil Outbreak series are the first of the Resident Evil games to use the Resident Evil logo of the movies. PAL releases kept the logo used in all prior Playstation releases of the games.
Resident Evil Outbreak was the first Resident Evil game that allowed players to become zombies. Each player begins the scenarios with a meter that measures their viral infection rate. The virus progresses gradually throughout the scenario. Items can be used to slow the progression, while being attacked by a zombie will cause a jump in the progression, and being knocked to the ground will cause the infection to rise rapidly until the player stands up. When the virus reaches 100% infection, the player will fall to the ground. In the one-player mode, this results in game over, while in the Network mode, the player is reanimated as a zombie, and can attack their former teammates for a brief period of time, before collapsing again, and being presented with the "You Died" screen.
The "Handgun" item (a Beretta M92FS) is called the R.P.D.'s standard-issue pistol in the "Outbreak" series. In the novel, Resident Evil: City of the Dead by S.D. Perry, the R.P.D. side arm was stated to be the Heckler & Koch VP70. Strangely, the VP70 only ever once appears in the video games, and is used by only one character. However, the novels contain many alterations to the games, and are not considered canon works. It was also argued that the Browning Hi-Power and VP70 were R.P.D. standard-issue in Resident Evil 2, but at no point in the game is it ever stated that either of these firearms are R.P.D. standard-issue weapons; they simply happen to be the guns carried by the main characters. This is reinforced by the fact that Leon had brought the VP70 in his possession into town with him before officially even signing on for active duty with the Raccoon Police Department, while the Hi-Power was discovered by Claire in a glovebox of an R.P.D. squad car. Police officers, especially in countries with minimal gun-control laws such as the United States, are known to carry secondary firearms on their person and in their vehicles for use during emergencies, and the Hi-Power found by Claire was likely such a weapon.
Resident Evil: Outbreak was originally known as Resident Evil Online/Biohazard Online. In this state of production, there were to be over twenty levels with branching paths. However, the ad-lib system was already in place and fully functional.
In the game, there was only one branching path, which was walking through the Apple Inn's grounds in the Outbreak scenario before meeting twith the police.
On May 28th, 2004, "friendly fire," an option which allowed players to shoot each other using fire-arms (or to hit each other with melee weapons) was activated on the servers in Network mode. During the night in which this option was activated, the total player count in the lobby was over 30 (compared to the relatively low count of 10 to 15).
The "Outbreak" scenario was re-used in the second title, but was instead called the "Training Grounds." This level was designed to allow novice and veteran gamers alike to familiarise themselves with the new control system, real-time file/item selection screen and ad-lib features of the "Outbreak" series, as fans were "thrown in the deep end" with the original release.
The cast consists of a number of voice actors primarily recognized from CBC Radio dramas. Although the voice acting was redone in Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2, a few of the voices remain in some of the NPCs.
The main street in "Outbreak", is the same street seen in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
In "Below Freezing Point", players get to visit the lab from Resident Evil 2, which has been greatly expanded. In Resident Evil 0, players were able to visit the room where the train was underground while playing as Rebecca Chambers.
The Hospital in "The Hive", is the same hospital, as seen in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, although, it's been expanded with a third floor and a second basement. Also, the first basement has been expanded.
The lobby from "Hellfire" as well as the streets in front of the Apple Inn from "Outbreak," are featured in Resident Evil Outbreak #2
The opening cutscene in "Decisions, Decisions", takes place in the police station from Resident Evil 2 & 3
Nicholai Ginovaef originally appeared in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis

Transcriptional control of the recombination activating genes Rag1 and Rag2 in B lymphocytes and non-lymphoid cells
Author(s): Timblin, Greg Alan
Advisor(s): Schlissel, Mark S
Tjian, Robert
Expression of the recombination activating genes Rag1 and Rag2 (Rag) is essential for generation of a diverse B cell antigen receptor repertoire necessary for effective adaptive immune responses. The Rag genes are among the first lineage-specific genes expressed in lymphocyte progenitors, and their expression strongly correlates with commitment to the B lineage. Because V(D)J recombination involves generation of DNA breaks by the RAG proteins, Rag expression must be tightly controlled throughout B cell development to maintain genomic integrity. Using Abelson Murine Leukemia Virus-transformed B cells as a model system, we sought to identify factors that repress Rag transcription during pre-B cell differentiation, a period of B cell development marked by rapid proliferation during which the Rag genes are transiently repressed and then reactivated upon differentiation. A screen identified Ebf1 and c-Myb, two well-studied transcription factors in the context of early B cell development, as repressors of Rag transcription in these highly proliferative cells. As we found no evidence for direct Rag repression by Ebf1, we investigated how Ebf1 influences the expression of factors previously implicated in the regulation Rag transcription. We discovered that Ebf1 achieves Rag repression through both negative regulation of the Rag activator Foxo1, and positive regulation of the Rag repressor Gfi1b. In addition to influencing Foxo1 and Gfi1b expression in a similar manner, we found that c-Myb directly binds to the Erag enhancer in the Rag locus and antagonizes Foxo1 binding to this cis regulatory element. Together this work reveals previously unappreciated roles for Ebf1 and c-Myb in the transcriptional repression of the Rag genes during pre-B cell differentiation. In addition to screening for factors that regulate Rag expression during B cell development, we also performed a screen for factors capable of activating the Rag genes in non-lymphoid cells. Given the close connection between Rag expression and B lineage commitment in lymphocyte progenitors, we reasoned that if we were able to induce Rag transcription in non-lymphoid cells such as fibroblast, these cells might be activating a host of B cell-specific genes and undergoing direct reprogramming to the B lineage. While we identified factors that could readily induce Rag expression when overexpressed in primary fibroblasts, we could detect no evidence of a reprogramming event involving activation of additional B lineage genes. Together our work identified novel repressors of Rag transcription in developing B cells, and factors capable of activating Rag transcription in non-lymphoid cells that may inform future fibroblast-to-B cell reprogramming experiments.

What Age Do You Have To Be To Have Instagram: Young kids and tweens using social media, especially Instagram, appears totally typical. However a lot of social media internet sites have policies that need to avoid more youthful youngsters from having the ability to sign up with. So at just what age can kids use Instagram? Because all moms and dads absolutely have to understand.
Instagram's plan is that children must go to the very least 13 years of ages to utilize its solution. This minimal age requirement remains in line with lots of other social media sites websites such as Facebook and Snapchat due to standards established by the Kid's Online Personal privacy Defense Guideline (" COPPA"). Websites and on the internet services may not gather information on youngsters under 13 years of ages without parental permission-- however if a 9 or 10-year-old signs up with Instagram claiming to be 13, COPPA cannot protect them.
While it's hard to discover data revealing simply how many minor youngsters utilize Instagram, statistics for other social media sites accounts recommend it's exceptionally usual. A research from safety advising site KnowTheNet exposed that 59 percent of kids utilize social media sites prior to the age of 10. The research study, which surveyed more than 1,000 kids aged 8 to 16, additionally reported that many youngsters established a fake account for themselves for the first time at 11 years old.
Children under the age of 13 should not have the ability to download and install the application with their iTunes accounts in any way-- but a number of the youngsters who do utilize Instagram download and install the application via their moms and dad's account.
As parent Michelle Meyers created at CNET, younger children may be gathering to Instagram due to the fact that their parents aren't on it. While the typical teams utilizing Facebook are 25 to 34 years of age as well as the 55 and older crowd, Instagram's largest individual demographic is 18 to 24 year olds. Meyers suggests that because several kids' parents don't utilize the app, "they can be a little freer with just what they publish and also comment" on Instagram.
Some parents as well as professionals really feel that youngsters under 13 who use social networks accounts are as well young for them. "Some youngsters might be ready to handle social media sites under the legal age of 13, however most likely can't," said Parents Magazine advisor Michael Rich.
