This Instagram account is dedicated to that Zara coat you keep seeing everywhere

Following #ThatCoat (Picture: thatcoat/Instagram)
It happens without fail every single year. There will be one particular Zara coat that you see everywhere.
Three years ago, it was a khaki green jacket with black leather sleeves that Olivia Palermo wore one time.
Then, it was that navy coat with studded sleeves that seemed to be everywhere – it even made an appearance on Hollyoaks.
This year, it's a £69.99 printed blue and white three-quarter length coat.
It's probably something to do with the combination of the Spanish brand's relatively low price-points and its ability to hit on key trends.
And the yearly ubiquitous Zara jacket has not gone unnoticed.
(Picture: Zara)
In fact, there's now an Instagram account which celebrates every sighting of that blue and white coat. Or #ThatCoat.
It was set up by sisters Alice Frances and Emily Bray after they spotted it several times during a trip to the Chelsea Flower Show earlier this summer.
'It all started at Chelsea Flower Show "She's wearing my coat" "Which coat?" "That coat" and suddenly, everywhere,' Alice writes on her blog. 'A blue and white printed coat worn by women all over London. It's as though they are in a secret club.

'And once you know you'll start seeing it – sitting next to you on the tube, buying a Pret sandwich, sitting in the pew next to you at the wedding…'
https://www.instagram.com/p/BHl5cZmh98V/?taken-by=thatcoat
It was an epidemic and Alice and Emily decided it couldn't be ignored any longer.

Just under four months ago, they started documenting their coat sightings online. They encouraged others to share their own pictures.

This shore base / radio station was situated some 12 miles from Singapore City, off Bukit Timah Road near the small village of Yew Tea. This was at the North / North West side of Singapore Island within a mile of the Causeway linking Singapore to mainland Malaysia. It was reputed to be on the site of a WW2 Japanese prisoner of war camp but this cannot be confirmed.
The radio station was in fact known as Singapore Radio but the actual Communications Centre was at a remote site within the Naval Dockyard at Sembawang. In the 1950''s and 1960''s each shift at Kranji W/T was staffed with a Radio Supervisor and Leading Radio Operator (RN) with the rest being locally employed civilian radio operators. A number of Radio Electricians (RN) were also on each shift. Far more R N radio operators worked at the remote site known as Singapore Comcen and were accommodated in the barracks at HMS Terror.
Also accommodated at Kranji were radio operators (RN) who formed the "Far East Fleet Pool". As the name implies these were a ''pool'' of operators who were available at short notice to supplement staff onboard ships or other shore bases taking part in exercises anywhere East of Suez or to fill in onboard ships in emergencies. It was also a Rest & Recuperation (R & R) camp for R N staff recovering from sickness/illness.
In December 1969 the "Fleet Pool" re-located to the main naval barracks (HMS Terror) and Kranji was handed over in the early 1970''s to the Singapore Government. It remained a radio station, staffed by radio operators from the Austrailian and New Zealand navies and also Singaporeans.
It later closed altogether, although the exact date is not known.

Кузе́мин — село в Україні, в Охтирському районі Сумської області. Населення становить 1954 особи. Орган місцевого самоврядування — Куземинська сільська рада. Сільський голова — Довгий Олександр Васильович.

Географія
Село розташоване на правому березі Ворскли, вище за течією на відстані 3 км розташоване село Скелька, нижче за течією на відстані 2,5 км — село Більськ. Річка в цьому місці звивиста, утворює лимани, стариці і заболочені озера. До села примикають невеликі дубові лісові масиви. У селі бере початок Балка Безіменна.

Історія

За місцевою легендою село дістало назву від скіфа Кузьми. Куземин згадується у статтях, підписаних гетьманом Брюховецьким і його старшиною в жовтні 1665 року у Москві, як сотенне містечко Зіньківського полку. Надалі містечко Куземин до ліквідації козацької автономії (1782 р.) - сотенний центр Куземинської сотні Гадяцького полку

в 19 столітті - центр Куземинської волості Зінківського повіту Полтавської губернії

У листопаді 1917 року український науковець Віра Платонівна Кушніренко  прибула до села. Разом із сестрою Наталією організувала і очолила вищу початкову школу, а також бібліотеку, драмгурток, хор, деякий час керувала місцевою «Просвітою» .

Пам'ятки
Більське городище, відноситься до VII століття до Р. Х.. Знаходиться поблизу Куземина.

Куземин у літературі
В історичному романі у віршах Івана Багряного «Скелька» описано Куземин, зокрема церкву Покрови Пресвятої Богородиці (знищена комуністами в 1930-і рр.), вид із села на Ворсклу та «синій ліс» по той бік ріки.

У пригодницькій повісті Івана Андрусяка «Сорокопуди, або Як Ліза і Стефа втекли з дому» дія відбувається в Куземині, описано місцеві легенди й перекази.

The role of community energy in renewable energy use and development

As a number of researchers have observed, local communities play an important role in facilitating decentralized renewable energy (RE). Based on a literature review, this study identifies viewpoints with implications for community energy organization models that merit further investigation. First, the study identifies key features of community energy—economic and financial advantages, and community autonomy and sustainability—in the research literature. In regard to these features, the study then presents four viewpoints with implications for community energy: economic efficiency, common pool resource management, social networking, and social system context. Further research from these viewpoints will provide a better understanding of community energy and the development of RE.
© Y. Yamamoto, published by EDP Sciences, 2016
Renewable energy (RE) is increasingly being introduced worldwide due to concerns over global warming and energy security, as well as advances in RE technologies. Wind, solar, and biomass energy are commonly harnessed as RE sources.
In Japan, relative meteorological advantage and a feed-in law implemented in 2012 to promote RE have contributed to widespread adoption of photovoltaic (PV) power generation (Fig. 1). In addition to rooftop installation of PV panels by households, private companies are also setting up large-scale PV systems to sell PV power to electric utilities under the 2012 law. These companies often collaborate with municipalities in pursuing these ventures, forming public–private partnerships in which the municipalities provide sites to companies for power generation.
Many studies have observed that communities play an important role in facilitating decentralized RE diffusion, particularly in Europe, including Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands, and the UK [2–7]. Maruyama et al. [8] also observed a number of RE projects that involve communities in Japan, and the number of such projects seems to be increasing after the devastating 2011 earthquake and subsequent nuclear disaster in Fukushima.
In this study, "community energy" refers to those RE projects in which communities are somewhat involved in terms of financial investment and managerial control. This definition, in contrast to that employed by Seyfang et al. [7], does not necessarily assume community ownership since community participation in RE projects takes a variety of organizational forms, including cooperatives, community charities, development trusts, shares owned by local community organizations, and others [3].
The RE cooperative seems like a particularly effective organizational model for community energy, as many have argued (including [9–13]). Subbarao and Lloyd [14] point out that successful projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol were typically managed by cooperative ventures rather than for-profit corporations. However, while RE cooperatives have flourished in countries such as Germany and Denmark [11] (Fig. 2), they have met with less acceptance in Japan, among other countries.
This study explores community energy organizational models from four viewpoints, considering implications for the development of RE projects that merit further investigation. The exploration of viewpoints is based on a review of literature investigating the effectiveness of community energy.
The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the literature review on community energy. Based on this review, Section 3 considers four viewpoints with implications for community energy. Section 4 concludes with discussion of implications for further multidisciplinary research.

Cumulative energy cooperatives in Germany. Data: DGRV Energy cooperatives survey 2014 [15].
This section summarizes the main findings from research on the effectiveness of community energy. Most of these findings were based on interviews with individuals in community RE projects. In general, four salient features of community energy—economic and financial advantages, and community autonomy and sustainability—were found to contribute to the effectiveness of RE projects.
First, community energy was found to provide economic and financial benefits to communities and local residents [3,9]. RE projects produce heat and/or power for communities, offer profitable investment opportunities, and/or provide job opportunities. Some RE projects make use of biomass produced as a by-product of agriculture, benefiting farmers in the region. These support community revitalization.
Second, community energy contributes to community autonomy and sustainability [3,5,9,12,13]. Local communities can participate in decision-making on RE projects more readily than on projects such as centralized, large-scale, power plants outside the region. Community energy may furthermore make communities less dependent on the electricity generated at such large-scale plants. Furthermore, projects enacted with and for the community enhance community revitalization and cohesion, which will strongly be connected with community spirit [12].
A number of studies have considered the role of public acceptance in community autonomy [3,9,13,16,17]. If a local community is involved in an RE project, then the project is more likely to be accepted by that community. If the community is not involved, local residents are more likely to resist the construction of RE facilities such as wind turbines and solar panels out of concern that such facilities will degrade the environment, produce noise, or cause other harms. This resistance is stronger, to an extent, when such projects are set up without community participation; conversely, community involvement reduces resistance to some extent. According to Subbarao and Lloyd [14], community involvement in RE projects under the CDM was effective in increasing public acceptance.
Finally, it should be noted that RE cooperatives are different from agricultural ones. Whereas agricultural cooperatives aim to maximize profits for member-farmers, RE cooperatives aim not only to yield economic benefits but also community autonomy and sustainability (see, for example, [18]).
Based on the literature review of community energy research above, this section considers four viewpoints with implications for development of RE projects: economic efficiency, common pool resource management, social networking, and social system context.
3.1 Economic efficiency
From the viewpoint of economic efficiency, two implications emerge from the literature reviewed in Section 2. The first concerns public acceptance of RE projects. Public acceptance determines the capacity of a project, which affects generation/production efficiency, and hence the profitability of the project. However, the literature shows that while community involvement enhances public acceptance of RE, local communities do not necessarily aim at profit maximization. This trade-off must be resolved for an RE project to succeed.
Second, strong connections between RE projects and economic activity in a region may contribute to project success. For example, local farmers may produce agricultural waste, including waste from thinning and lumbering, crop harvesting, and livestock manure, that can serve as inputs for biomass energy production. If farmers both use a cooperative RE facility and are members of the cooperative, they will optimize both their own agricultural activities and the performance of the RE project. This is, precisely, an internalization of multiple businesses resulting in efficient management. RE projects incorporating such connections may positively affect the economic performance of a region.
3.2 Common pool resource management
The RE sources used in RE projects are community resources. Hence, if a company from outside of a community sets up an RE project to generate electricity to sell to the grid, local residents may feel that their resources are being appropriated without any benefit to them.
To avoid this, communities may manage the resources themselves. However, community resource management gives rise to a problem: such resources may be considered common pool resources, which are characterized by the difficulties of exclusion and subtraction of resource units. This characteristic may lead to a prisoner's dilemma of overuse leading to congestion, or even to the destruction of the resource [19]. Bomberg and McEwen [5] and Huybrechts and Mertens [11], among others, also mention this problem in the context of community energy.
Ostrom [20] investigated common pool resource management problems intensively. As an alternative to a prisoner's dilemma, Ostrom proposes a model in which the players "can make a binding contract to commit themselves to a cooperative strategy that they themselves will work out" ([20], p. 15). "The self-interest of those who negotiated the contract will lead them to monitor each other and to report observed infractions so that the contract is enforced" ([20], p. 17).
Whether or not this form of management is applicable to community RE resource management, and what relevance it may have to community energy, merit further investigation.
3.3 Social networking
I postulate that, at least in Japan, an initiator of a community RE project may be considered an opinion leader in that community, and those other participants may be considered followers of the opinion leader [21]. Previous literature, websites, and interviews I have conducted on community energy support this viewpoint to some extent.
This viewpoint has implications for the diffusion of community RE projects. Rogers [22] argues that "diffusion campaigns are more likely to be successful if change agents identify and mobilize opinion leaders" ([22], p. 388), noting that "a change agent is an individual who influences clients' innovation-decision in a direction deemed desirable by a change agency" ([22], p. 366). It follows that, to facilitate RE diffusion, it is important to provide potential opinion leaders with information on community energy.
Another kind of network may also play a role. According to Seyfang et al. [7], RE cooperatives form networks that contribute to the exchange of information on community energy.
The potential of networks to facilitate community energy also merits further investigation.
3.4 Social system context
As the literature review in Section 2 supports, the cooperative may be an effective organizational model for RE projects. However, RE cooperatives have not been widely adopted worldwide, though there are many in some countries.
Only a few RE cooperatives have been undertaken in Japan. When a group of individuals in Japan set up an RE cooperative, they establish it as a business cooperative. The business cooperative is the organizational form for small businesses that are owned by their members rather than outside investors, and that must be approved by the National Federation of Small Business Associations. RE business cooperatives are thus relatively oriented towards commerce, and in this sense, differ from RE cooperatives in Germany and Denmark, which seem to be more oriented towards community. Furthermore, Japanese business cooperatives are less familiar to people in Japan than cooperatives in these countries.
However, neighborhood associations have long been prevalent in Japan. Japanese neighborhood associations are distinct from those in other countries. They are found nationwide (about 300,000 across Japan), and typically are characterized by high rates of citizen participation [23]. Japanese neighborhood associations support a broad range of social service activities, including cleaning and beatification, garbage disposal, festivals, fire prevention, and residential road management. Neighborhood associations have the potential to play the positive role in community energy in Japan that RE cooperatives play in other countries, although there have been no such cases to date, to my knowledge.
This study investigated important aspects of the role that community energy plays in decentralized RE projects. Through a literature review, the study identified key aspects of community energy—economic and financial advantages, and community autonomy and sustainability. The following four viewpoints emerged in considering the literature with regard to these aspects, each with implications for RE in community energy: economic efficiency, common pool resource management, social networking, and social system context. Further research from these viewpoints will provide a better understanding of the role of community energy in RE use and development.
The best organizational model for community energy in a given context depends on cultural, social, historical, and economic considerations [24]. Different organizational forms may prove optimal in different contexts. Developing models appropriate to given cases will facilitate diffusion of RE use.
Accordingly, further research into multiple dimensions of RE in community energy are merited, and will likely require multidisciplinary investigation.

LDDT had been developed in 1982 by Robert G. Brown of The Database Design Group entirely outside the IDEF program and with no knowledge of IDEF1. Nevertheless, the central goal of IDEF1 and LDDT was the same: to produce a database neutral model of the persistent information needed by an enterprise by modeling the real-world entities involved. LDDT combined elements of the relational data model, the E-R model, and data generalization in a way specifically intended to support data modeling and the transformation of the data models into database designs.
LDDT included multiple levels of model, the modeling of generalization/specialization, and the explicit representation of relationships by primary and foreign keys, supported by a well defined role naming facility. The primary keys and unambiguously role-named foreign keys expressed sometimes subtle uniqueness and referential integrity constraints that needed to be known and honored by whatever type of database was ultimately designed. Whether the database design used the integrity constraint based keys of the LDDT model as database access keys or indexes was an entirely separate decision. The precision and completeness of the LDDT models was an important factor in enabling the relatively smooth transformation of the models into database designs. Early LDDT models were transformed into database designs for IBM's hierarchical database, IMS. Later models were transformed into database designs for Cullinet's network database, IDMS, and many varieties of relational database.
The graphic syntax of LDDT differed from that of IDEF1 and, more importantly, LDDT contained interrelated modeling concepts not present in IDEF1. Therefore, instead of extending IDEF1, Mary E. Loomis of DACOM wrote a concise summary of the syntax and semantics of a substantial subset of LDDT, using terminology compatible with IDEF1 wherever possible. DACOM labeled the result IDEF1X and supplied it to the ICAM program, which published it in 1985. (IEEE 1998, p. iii) (Bruce 1992, p. xii)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_Database_Design_Technique#Logical_Database…
To satisfy the data modeling enhancement requirements that were identified in the IISS-6202 project, a sub-contractor, DACOM, obtained a license to the Logical Database Design Technique (LDDT) and its supporting software (ADAM).

Q: Assign values in a one to one relation I have created an entity "computer" and an entity "user" in Rapidclipse (using Vaadin and JPA/Hibernate).
These two entites are connected via a one to one relation.
Entity Computer
@Entity
@DAO(daoClass = ComputerDAO.class)
@Cacheable(true)
@Table(name = "computer")
public class Computer implements Serializable {
    private int id;
    ...
    private User user;
    ...
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "id")
    public int getId() {
        return this.id;
    }
    public void setId(final int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    ...
    @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER)
    @JoinColumn(name = "user_id")
    public User getUser() {
        return this.user;
    }
    public void setUser(final User user) {
        this.user = user;
    }
    ...
}

Entity User
@Entity
@DAO(daoClass = UserDAO.class)
@Cacheable(true)
@Table(name = "user")
public class User implements Serializable {
    private int id;
    ...
    private Computer computer;
    ...
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
    @Column(name = "id")
    public int getId() {
        return this.id;
    }
    public void setId(final int id) {
        this.id = id;
    }
    ...
    @OneToOne(mappedBy = "sps")
    public Computer getComputer() {
        return this.computer;
    }
    public void setComputer(final Computer computer) {
        this.computer = computer;
    }
    ...
}

I have already created a few computers in my database. Via a field group, I am trying to assign a certain user to a certain computer. Therefore I have text fields to input the user data to create a new user and a list select to choose the linked computer. With a save button I want to create this new user with the selected connection to the computer.
...
this.fieldGroup.setItemDataSource(new User());
...
private void cmdSave_buttonClick(final Button.ClickEvent event){
    this.fieldGroup.save(); // the user gets created, but there is no link to the computer
    this.listSelect.getSelectedItem().getBean().setUser(this.fieldGroup.getItemDataSource().getBean()); // i am trying to link them manually, but it does not work
}

As described the problem is, that the link between computer and user is not written into the database. In the table computer the attribute user_id is always null. So why doesn't it work to set the user manually?

A: *

*User user = new User(...);

*Computer computer = new Computer(...);

*user.setComputer(computer);

*computer.setUser(user);

*userDao.save(user);

This will save both User and Computer Objects.

A: Try editing you @OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER) annotation that it looks like the following:
@OneToOne(fetch = FetchType.EAGER, , cascade = CascadeType.ALL)

The CascadeType specifies what operations are propagated to the related entities. it will make sure that the entity where it relates to, will be stored in the database as well.

Southampton's prosperity during the medieval period is reflected by the town walls, towers and gates (including the Bargate), and many other buildings in the Old Town such as the Wool House, Tudor House Museum, and St Michael's Church.
About half of the original one mile of town walls survives, with nearly half of the original 29 towers and six of the eight gates still standing.
After the Norman invasion of 1066, Southampton became the largest port on the south coast, developing trade links with France and then the rest of Europe and the Mediterranean. The town's success as a port lasted right through to the 1500s.
The chief trade was the import of wine and the export of wool.

Leaky AWS S3 bucket once again at centre of data breach
Prestige Software exposed millions of records after failing to pay attention to the security of its cloud instances
Alex Scroxton, Security Editor
The apparent inability of organisations to correctly and appropriately secure the data they hold in cloud storage instances has once again been made painfully obvious with the exposure of millions of records by Prestige Software, a supplier of channel management software services to the online travel industry.
Users of some of the world's most popular travel retail websites, including Booking.com, Expedia and Hotels.com, should be on their guard after Prestige's failure to appropriately configure an AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket left data going back 10 years exposed to the public internet.
It was disclosed on 6 November 2020 by researchers at Website Planet, and totalled 24.4GB of data, comprising at least 10 million files.
Data points included in the dump include the credit card details of travellers and travel agents, including the all-important CVV code, payment details, reservation details, and personally identifiable information (PII) including names, email addresses, national ID numbers and phone numbers.
Website Planet said the bucket was still in use with new records constantly being uploaded, and although it was secured within a few hours of the research team contacting AWS, it is impossible to say that the database had not been accessed or stolen.
Secure by default
AWS S3 buckets are secure by default, so in the absence of a targeted attack by a cyber criminal, which cannot necessarily be ruled out in this instance, their contents can only be revealed through error or negligence on the part of Prestige Software. Also, AWS provides detailed information on keeping S3 buckets secure.
This raises the question of why such breaches are quite so comically common – indeed, according to Sonrai Security CEO Brendan Hannigan, misconfigurations are the number one cause of a public cloud breach. But, he adds, the reasons for this are perhaps somewhat understandable.
"Exploding complexity, especially around identity and data access, is leading to human error and unintentional exposure," said Hannigan.
"We have found unintended and mistaken data exposure when onboarding new customers with many datasets containing PII. This means data breaches, such as an exposed S3 bucket, are just the tip of the iceberg."
Synopsys senior security engineer Boris Cipot commented: "Cloud technology is helping organisations in many ways to be better, faster and more advanced in their operations. However, processes to maintain this technology also need to be regarded as a priority.
"Introducing technologies in production needs to be paired with thorough checks to ensure that the data is properly safeguarded. While these checks may initially be time-consuming, they are necessary to prevent issues later down the line."
Data-centric, privacy-centric
Warren Poschman, senior solutions architect at comforte AG, said that although the incident could have been mitigated by accepting the default AWS S3 permissions to deny access, the root of the issue was that many organisations are playing roulette with live data, when they should instead be using a data-centric security model that allows data to be protected as it is acquired and travels through the organisation, regardless of where it is being stored or accessed.
"Data-centric protection using technologies like tokenisation allows the organisation to use the protected data for day-to-day operations, analytics and data sharing," said Poschman. "In this case, it could have meant avoiding a breach entirely because the S3 bucket would have only contained de-identified, secure data."
Metomic CEO and co-founder Rich Viber also spoke up for tokenisation as a critical element of a privacy-centric culture.
"It's frustrating that this could have been easily and affordably avoided by embracing a privacy-first culture," he said. "For example, introducing technology to detect and tokenise the personally identifiable information they exposed, so it would have been unreadable.
"Companies such as Prestige Software need to stop thinking of privacy as a legal and contractual check-box. Instead, they must see it as a means for eradicating data breaches, so they can maintain customer trust and have the power of data, without the risk."
Third-party exposure
For Prestige's customer base of online travel firms, the incident will yet again highlight questions over responsibility for cloud security, and the wisdom of trusting third parties with valuable data – as software supplier Blackbaud's bungled response to a ransomware incident earlier in 2020 also demonstrated.
"The breach of Prestige Software's data is as unfortunate, especially coming as the result of a misconfiguration," said Gurucul CEO Saryu Nayyar. "Working with third-party vendors poses a number of challenges, including making sure they are maintaining the same level of cyber security that your own organisation requires."
The real victims
The real victims of Prestige's blunder are, of course, not its customers, but its customers' customers, potentially many millions of consumers who are now, through no fault of their own, at heightened risk of being compromised by cyber criminals.
ProPrivacy digital privacy expert Ray Walsh said the numbers affected could be much higher than currently disclosed.
"Millions of people's data, including credit card details, could have been accessed by cyber criminals," he said. "Anybody who has made a hotel booking with these major hotel reservation platforms since 2013 is potentially at risk.
"It is vital for Prestige Software and the hotel reservation platforms involved to act quickly to determine which consumers were affected, so they can be contacted and told to cancel their cards and look closely at their accounts for any signs of intrusion."
Read more about data breaches
Information Commissioner's Office levies fine of £20m on British Airways for failing to protect the personal data of hundreds of thousands of passengers – a vast reduction on the initial £183m penalty.
The criminal charges against former Uber CSO Joe Sullivan were the latest development in the ongoing scandal over the ride-sharing company's concealment of a 2016 data breach.
Canadian e-commerce company Shopify disclosed a data breach involving two insider threats, but questions remain about the breach and how it was discovered.
Cipot at Synopsys agreed that if the database was accessed while public, consumers would face the most damaging repercussions. He said he anticipated malicious actors attempting to compromise them by trying to infiltrate other linked accounts and services and conducting phishing attacks, as well as carrying out credit card fraud and identity theft.
"We can't be certain that bad actors have not already gained access to this data," he added. "But there are a few things that potentially affected users can do to proactively lower their risk and, in turn, improve their security moving forward.
"First, users should change their password on the site as well as on any other online service where it may have been reused. It is worth employing a password manager if you are overwhelmed with the number of services used and the regulatory demands for strong passwords.
"Second, be wary of any email requesting personal data such as passwords, usernames, social security numbers or financial data. Service providers would never request such data over email or even on the phone. If ever in doubt, call your service provider or visit their web page directly and log in through the site. It is critical that you do not open attachments or click on links in emails.
"Finally, talk with your bank proactively – let them know that you have used a service that has leaked your data and check your bank statements regularly for suspicious activity."
Legal consequences
As a Spanish company bound by the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and holding data on European citizens, Prestige Software needed to report the breach, because not to do so would invite legal actions and huge fines, said Website Planet researcher Mark Holden.
And more trouble lies ahead for the company in terms of financial compliance, said Walsh at ProPrivacy.
"It is now necessary for a full investigation so that a decision can be made as to whether Prestige Software was in violation of the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), as a result of which it may need to be stripped of its ability to process card payments on behalf of the companies it works with," he said.

Google Hangouts easier, faster: no need Google+ or Gmail
August 18, 2015 /in Google, Google Apps, Video
I'm a huge fan of Google Hangouts and use them any time I need a video connection. Hangouts are fabulous for holding meetings where you want the face to face connection. The only problem was that actually starting Hangout required traversing a labyrinth of clicks.
That's no longer the case. Now, you just go to https://hangouts.google.com/ and get started. Finally!
The only requirement is that you have a Google Account. You don't need to have a Gmail address; you can register your existing email address as a Google account.
If you have the webcam hardware and haven't tried videoconferencing, you don't know what you're missing. If you have used Google Hangouts in the past, it's now easier than ever to start a Hangout.

Will Grigg earns spot in NI Euro 2016 squad
Will Grigg has been included in the Northern Ireland Euro 2016 squad
Liam Blackburn
Will Grigg's place in Northern Ireland's 23-man Euro 2016 squad has been confirmed, but Liam Boyce, Billy McKay, Daniel Lafferty, Michael Smith and Ben Reeves have all been left out by manager Michael O'Neill.
The announcement for the country's first finals squad in 30 years was made at the Titanic Belfast museum on Saturday lunchtime, though the unlucky quintet were informed of their fate earlier this week and missed Friday's 3-0 victory over Belarus despite being named in the 28-player group for that game.
Grigg, whose 25 goals fired Wigan to the Sky Bet League One title, opened his international account in that triumph and has earned the nod over Wigan team-mate McKay and Boyce, despite the latter scoring 20 times for Ross County last term.
Lee Hodson has been preferred to one-cap right-back Smith while fellow full-back Lafferty and midfielder Reeves have suffered after not featuring regularly for their Championship clubs.
QPR's Conor Washington has been included having scored twice in his three caps to date while Aaron Hughes, 36, will arrive in France with a century of international appearances should he feature in Slovakia next week.
O'Neill confirmed his biggest decision boiled down to whether to pick Grigg or Boyce as his fourth forward alongside Kyle Lafferty, Washington and Josh Magennis.
Boyce had scored 17 times before January, yet a broken hand set him back and Grigg propelled himself into O'Neill's thoughts with 20 club goals since the new year.
"It was very difficult leaving lads out who didn't make it," O'Neill said after the final squad was shown in a video montage which had their images projected on to Giant's Causeway.
"I've spoken individually to all the players. Some of the lads maybe thought it was 50-50 whether they were going to go. I determined I'd bring four central attackers, Josh gives us that opportunity to play wide. Probably the most difficult decision was between Liam Boyce and Will Grigg.
"Liam had a great first half of the season and had a hand injury second half. We watch the lads in Scotland maybe more than the other lads.
"Will just kept scoring, has 28 goals, is in a good place and his club has been promoted. Then he stepped on to the pitch last night and scored again. It was a difficult decision but I think it's the right one."

Former players Pat Jennings, Billy Hamilton and Peter McParland all shared their memories from Northern Ireland's previous World Cup finals campaigns in 1958, 1982 and 1986 before O'Neill arrived on stage.
And their thoughts were a reminder of the historic achievement that O'Neill's current crop have already attained having reached their first ever European Championship finals.
"I look at some of the players I played with - Michael Hughes, (Keith) Gillespie, (Jim) Magilton, (Gerry) Taggart, (Neil) Lennon, we had some great players and it's amazing to think that I'm managing the country and then had the chance to build the team," O'Neill added.
"Soon after that 6-0 defeat (to Holland in 2012) I went to Poland and Ukraine at Euro 2012 and I remember being at the games and the atmosphere was amazing. I remember thinking, 'it would be amazing to be a part of this', and four years later here we are."
Northern Ireland squad: McGovern (Hamilton), Carroll (Notts County), Mannus (St. Johnstone), Cathcart (Watford), McAuley (West Brom), J Evans (Manchester United), McCullough (Doncaster), Hughes (Melbourne), McLaughlin (Fleetwood), Hodson (MK Dons), McNair (Manchester United), Ferguson (Millwall), Dallas (Leeds), Davis (Southampton), Norwood (Reading), Baird (Derby), C Evans (Blackburn), McGinn (Aberdeen), Magennis (Kilmarnock), K Lafferty (Norwich), Ward (Nottingham Forest), Washington (QPR), Grigg (Wigan).

The Herrimans and St. Augustine Catholic Church
The Herrimans were devoutly Catholic. They attended Masses and celebrated sacraments at numerous churches surrounding their neighborhood. Yet the historic St. Augustine Church was their "home" church.
Celebrated as the first African-American parish in the United States, St. Augustine was founded in 1841 on land that originally was part of Claude Tremé's plantation. It is estimated that between half to two-thirds of its early parish was composed of people of color, including both enslaved and free people. (Slaves would sit in side pews that remain part of the church interior today.)
The Herrimans were among the earliest members of St. Augustine. In 1844 — just three years after the church's founding — Frederic and Adelaide Herriman brought their one-month-old son Frederic Herriman here to be baptized by Guillaume Arthur Le Mercier du Quesnay, the Jamaican-born pastor of St. Augustine who would later move to St. Louis Cathedral. Frederic Sr. was brother to George Herriman's grandfather (who also was named George Herriman). Their mother — cartoonist George Herriman's great-grandmother — was a socially prominent Free Woman of Color named Justine Olivier. Their father — the cartoonist's great-grandfather — was Stephen Herriman, a white steamboat captain from New York.
In the decades following St. Augustine's founding, the Herriman family would return again and again to celebrate baptisms and weddings. Although the church was integrated, its records were not — the details of the Herrimans' involvement with St. Augustine are recorded in archdiocese books that were reserved for people of color.
When cartoonist George Herriman was born in 1880, his parents opted for unknown reasons to bring their first-born child to Our Lady of Sacred Heart Church, located about the same distance from their house in the opposite direction. Yet the Herrimans remained involved with St. Augustine, returning here to celebrate the baptism of their second son, Henry Walter, in 1882 — presumably with two-year-old George Herriman in tow.
Other notable members of St. Augustine have included pioneers in the Civil Rights struggle such as Homer Plessy, whose challenge to segregated trains resulted in the 1896 Plessy vs. Ferguson decision that enshrined "separate but equal" into law, and Alexander Pierre "A. P." Tureaud Sr., whose work as the NAACP's New Orleans attorney helped dismantle the tragic results of that ruling. Following a struggle over its future after Hurricane Katrina, St. Augustine Catholic Church remains an active parish to this day.

Q: Python search genes for barcode sequences and output matches into their corresponding files I am fairly new to python and have gotten a bit stuck. Basically what I am trying to do is use my barcode sequences to search and match to different gene sequences. I need each to create a fastq file named after each barcode sequence and output only the genes that match that barcode into the corresponding file.
My script will output only a few barcode sequence files but will copy the entire genome into the file. I am not sure how to only output the matches. My file 'clinical_data.txt' contains information about the barcode sequences and the barcode itself. My file 'sequences.fastq' is what contains the list of genes I am searching.
#I wasn't sure how to directly search the barcode sequences from 'clinical_data' so I outputted them to their own file

text_strings = []
with open('clinical_data.txt') as ff:
    ss = ff.readlines()
for s in ss:
    text_strings.append(s.split('\t')[-1])
with open('out_file.txt', 'w') as outf:
    outf.write('\n'.join(text_strings))

def matches_barcode(sequence, barcodes):
  for bc in barcodes:
    if sequence.startswith(bc):
      return True
  return False
#Here I attempt to match the barcodes to the genes and create the new file at the same time
barcodes = []
with open('out_file.txt', 'r') as barcodefile:
    for barcode in barcodefile:
        barcodes.append(barcode.strip())
        with open('sequences.fastq', 'r') as seqfile:
            for sequence in seqfile:
                if matches_barcode(sequence.strip(), barcodes):
                    for line in barcodes:
                        with open(line + '.fastq', 'w') as f:
                            f.write(line)
                            f.writelines(sequence)

I definitely feel like there is a better way to go about doing this than what I have so far. It seems very slow and doesn't work the way I want it to. If someone would be able to point me in the direction of generally what I should be doing it would be much appreciated!

Diana Damrau, född 31 maj 1971 i Günzburg, Bayern, Västtyskland, är en tysk operasångare (koloratursopran).

Uppväxt
Diana Damrau påbörjade sina operastudier för Carmen Hanganu på Hochschule für Musik Würzburg. Under sina studier drabbades hon av ett ödem på sina stämband. Sedan hon hade konsulterat flera läkare, bestämde hon sig för att genomgå en alternativmedicinsk behandling utan operation. Behandlingen varade ungefär ett och ett halvt år.

Karriär
Hon debuterade i Würzburg och framträdde därpå i Nationaltheater Mannheim och Oper Frankfurt innan hon fick roller på de stora världsscenerna. En av de roller hon klätt oftast är Nattens drottning  i Mozarts Trollflöjten, vilken hon bland annat framfört på festivalen i Salzburg, Covent Garden och på Metropolitan Opera.

Damrau blev inbjuden att sjunga titelrollen i Salieris Europa riconosciuta vid återöppnandet av La Scala i Milano, under ledning av Riccardo Muti år 2004.

Bortsett från operaroller har hon givit ett flertal konserter på scener som till exempel Carnegie Hall och La Scala. Hon har utgivit två skivor på EMI/Virgin, Arie di Bravura och Donna.

Privatliv
Diana Damrau är sedan maj 2010 gift med den franske basbarytonen Nicolas Testé; de har två söner, Alexander, född i oktober 2010 och Colyn, född i oktober 2012.

Functional neurology is a method of evaluating and treating conditions that stem from problems in the nervous system. A specialist in functional neurology uses characteristics of the nervous system to restore and maintain health.
These treatments as based on findings in the fields of neurology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, embryology and cellular biochemistry.
A functional neurologist utilizes this cutting edge research to test for and determine the cause of the problem and treat it using brain-based rehabilitation.
Functional neurology has had success with patients when traditional medicine cannot explain and/or effectively treat the patient's symptoms. While traditional neurology relies on having a specific diagnosis of a disease to treat a problem, functional neurology can treat problems that do not fit into a specific diagnosed disorder. For example, a patient may have symptoms of dizziness, but fall short of a diagnosis of vertigo. In functional neurology, the symptoms that the patient is displaying can be effectively treated by utilizing brain-based rehabilitation to treat the area of the brain that is causing the feeling of dizziness.
Bryan D. Royer, DC, DACNB is a chiropractic neurologist who is trained to assess groups of nerves and determines how well they are working. He is trained to understand and treat the problems that occur when there is an imbalance in groups of nerves. In many patients with neurological problems, some groups of nerves may be overexcited and express themselves too much while other groups of nerves may be lethargic. This imbalance leads to the nerves becoming fatigued too quickly and being unable to properly perform. Through functional neurology, a doctor can determine the specific group of nerves that need are imbalanced and target these nerves with specific brain-based exercises to improve their overall performance. Similar to exercises for muscles that are designed to increase the strength and function of muscles, these brain-based exercises are designed to increase the stamina or function of certain areas of the brain to improve their operation. Improvement in performance of these imbalanced groups of nerves often leads to improvement in symptoms experienced by the patient.
Correcting a functional neurological imbalance requires extensive knowledge of neurophysiology and neuroanatomy. Those who have taken specialist post-graduate study in functional neurology, like Dr. Royer, are trained to understand the physiological function and anatomical structure of the human nervous system to better differentiate the cause of the patient's disorder.
While a medical neurologist generally prescribes medications and a neurosurgeon typically uses surgery as the means of correcting conditions, a chiropractic neurologist uses medication free and non-surgical treatment methods to accomplish their goal. Patients receive individualized care based on the findings of their examination. Brain-based rehabilitation methods may include precise chiropractic adjustments coupled with specific stimulations and exercise, as well as nutritional supplementation. Common exercises used in treating neurological conditions include: visual or auditory stimulation or stimulation of the inner ear such as spinning or balance work. These exercises are very powerful methods of stimulating the appropriate areas of the brain.
Through the use of brain-based exercises, Chiropractic Neurologists can effectively treat neurological problems without the use of drugs or surgery. These exercises help the brain to function properly by restoring balance to the brain and harmony to neurological system.
Dr. Royer is a chiropractic neurologist certified as a Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board (DACNB). Dr. Royer has taken over 900 hours of post-graduate education in functional neurology from the Carrick Institute of Graduate Studies and was required to pass a rigorous written and practical examination process in order to receive his specialty. Less than 500 people in the world currently have this certification, and Dr. Royer is the only board certified chiropractic neurologist in the Toledo area. Dr. Royer is also member of the ACA Council on Neurology. He has been practicing chiropractic medicine in the Toledo, OH area since 2005. Dr. Royer also teaches Anatomy and Physiology at Owens Community College.

La batalla naval de Sant Feliu de Guíxols fou una de les batalles de la Croada contra la Corona d'Aragó.

Antecedents
El Papa Martí IV, que havia succeït Climent IV va declarar al rei Pere el Gran privat dels seus regnes a causa de la seva intervenció a Sicília arran de les Vespres Sicilianes, i donà la investidura com a rei d'Aragó, rei de València i Comte de Barcelona el 27 d'agost de 1283 a Carles I d'Anjou, segon fill del rei Felip III de França, sent coronat el 27 de febrer de 1284 a París.

L'exèrcit croat va sortir de Perpinyà el 13 de maig en direcció als Pirineus, on es va trobar una forta resistència al Coll de Panissars, que el va fer retirar fins a Perpinyà, per finalment creuar pel Coll de la Massana, arribant a Peralada, el quarter general de Pere el Gran d'on es va retirar a Girona, deixant al càrrec de la ciutat a Ramon Folc de Cardona amb les tropes del rei, les hosts dels nobles, i 600 sarraïns del regne de València, mentre el rei i l'Infant Alfons preparaven les següents línies de defensa abans que els croats arribessin a Barcelona.

Les línies d'aprovisionament de l'exèrcit croat eren servides per via marítima entre els ports de Narbona, Aigües Mortes i Marsella, i Roses, mentre que la flota de guerra croada composta per cent galeres, dominava la costa patrullant des dels ports de Roses i Sant Feliu de Guíxols, mentre l'estol català de Ramon Marquet i Berenguer Mallol es preparava a Barcelona mentre Roger de Llúria tornava de Sicília, mentre els corsaris atacaven els vaixells de subministrament francesos.

Desenvolupament militar
Una família de Cadaqués (els d'en Gras) va seguir els moviments de la flota francesa d'aprovisionament tot voltant el cap de Creus, informant a l'estol català de Ramon Marquet i Berenguer Mallol, sorprenent un estol francès de 25 galeres fondejat a Roses.

L'estol català va salpar de Barcelona el 27 de juliol i es va presentar davant de Sant Feliu de Guíxols on es trobaven les 24 galeres croades, que foren atacades frontalment, trencant la línia i aïllant set galeres (entre elles la capitana) que foren encerclades i escombrades pels ballesters catalans, que atacaven les seves tripùlacions armades amb espases, mentre que la resta de galeres van fugir.

Conseqüències
L'almirall francès Guillem de Lodeva fou capturat, mentre que els supervivents, tret dels que podien valdre un rescat, foren concentrats en dues galeres que immediatament van ser enfonsades, partint els catalans amb les cinc galeres restants, aparellades amb la tripulació mínima, cap a Barcelona. De Palamós va salpar un altre estol francès per encalçar als catalans, que van abandonar les cinc galeres per guanyar velocitat i van girar cap a Mallorca, sent encalçats pels croats, que els van perdre durant la nit. Al matí del 29 de juliol l'estol va entrar a Barcelona.

Unes setmanes més tard, l'estol de Ramon Marquet i Berenguer Mallol es va reunir amb el de Roger de Llúria per guanyar la Batalla naval de les Formigues.

Regimental returns containing information on officers and arranged by regiment. No records of service of the commissioned officers who were appointed before 1793 have survived.
Another potential source of regular army officer information can be found in the Graduation Lists which run from 1901 to 1914 which are available in the open reading room at The National Archives. These lists are similar in scope to the Army Lists.
The key starting point for most army research is to determine which regiment the officer served with. A possible starting point for officer research pre-WWI is to consult the alphabetical card index of officers compiled by staff at The National Archives in the 1970s. The information was extracted from series WO 25 and WO 26 but unfortunately is not complete. WO 25 is also available as part of the Digital Microfilm project. Officer commissions, promotions and discharges have also been published in the London Gazette since the early 18th century.
Birth Marriage and Death certificates for officers and their families as well as wills can be found in series WO 42. This series also includes some information on retired officers and details of officer marriages from 1830-1882. For Also consult Charles Dalton's English Army Lists, 1661-1714 and George I's Army, 1714-1727. The records of some militia officers can be founds amongst series WO 76 and WO 25.
Records within WO 76 are available to download free of charge as part of the Digital Microfilm project or online at Findmypast.
Name, rank, date and place of birth of officer; Date of appointment, age at the time of appointment, country of origin and date of first commission; His medal awards and foreign service; Marriage details and the names and birth dates of his children.

The coastal town of Santa Cruz is laden with sandy beaches and breaking waves. In other words, it's a surfer's dream. Lovingly nicknamed "surf city," the waves in town have something for all levels. From gentle waves to dangerous crashing swells, Santa Cruz has surfing hot spots made for every surfer.

This cleverly named spot lies just four miles (6.4 kilometers) outside of town. Four Mile is surrounded by a protective gathering of bluffs and cliffs, walling it off from harsh winds; this means that even if you're a beginner, you'll be able to catch some waves that are perfect for your skill level. And for all of you surf pros and experts out there, don't worry because Four Mile is still able to get those high-crashing swells we know you love.

30th and East Cliff
Novice surfers should probably plant it in the sand at 30th and East Cliff. The aggressive swells and waves here make for great aerial tricks and rides, and some good old-fashioned showboating. Many people line the shore to watch those take on the waves at this spot, so if you end up needing to take a knee from the surf, you're not alone. 30th and East Cliff is the place for perfecting your surf skills.

Pleasure Point is probably one of the most well-known and liked surf spots in Santa Cruz. It's a favorite for its varietal waves—pros and first-timers flock here, boards in hand. All that surf perfection draws a lot of crowds though, so surf etiquette is certainly in high-demand at Pleasure Point.

When many people think of surfing in Santa Cruz, Steamer Lane is what typically comes to mind. This classic surf spot has incredibly intense and picturesque waves you'll have to see to believe. A major consideration though is its intensity. When the swell is up, Steamer Lane does, indeed, become Santa Cruz's most dangerous place to surf; novices, beware. But it is an excellent spot for some of the best surfing—whether that means you're out in the swell or watching from the shore. Indeed, Steamer Lane says "surf" so perfectly that there's even a surfing museum near the beach.

There are plenty of surf spots for the pros to head out to and dive right in. At Cowell's though, first-timers can take a moment to breathe before getting in the surf. This spot is known for its gentle and long waves, so it's also great for longboarders. Cowell's is also the location where many surf schools choose to teach their eager students how to surf.

Not too far from the favorable Pleasure Point is where many locals and surf experts can be found. To reach The Hook, you just need to descend a flight of stairs at the end of Pleasure Point, and you're there. This spot got its name from the collection of kelp that gets "hooked" around buoys and skags in the water. Surfers love coming to The Hook for its perfect swells. The waters can get a little crowded, mostly with locals, but once you're out there, it's absolutely worth it.

Private's Beach
This locale may seem unattainable due to its name, but Private's Beach is open for public use. The long and easygoing waves are perfect for novices and those looking for a little bit of seclusion. Imagine Private's Beach as a lesser-known Cowell's—a wonderful spot for beginners to ride the waves at their own pace.

Probably one of the most scenic places for surfing in Santa Cruz, Natural Bridges offers some of the best surf you can imagine for all levels. The only trick is timing the surf right, as it can be quite finicky. When the timing is right though, the surf is spectacular. Even when the conditions aren't completely favorable, Natural Bridges is still a breathtaking place just to paddle out and float.

Manresa State Beach
Just a quick drive outside Santa Cruz is the must-see Manresa State Beach in Watsonville. The beauty of this spot is how much less crowded it is compared to those within the heart of Santa Cruz. What's even better at Manresa is that you'll find some of the best swells around.

To mix it up a bit, strap your board to your ride and head along Highway 1 through Santa Cruz. Not only is this one of the most beautiful drives you'll take, but as long as you keep an eye on the waves, you can also catch sight of some amazing surf. All you need to do is pull over into one of the Highway's multiple turnouts, hop out, and head to the sand. Not knowing what kind of surf spot you'll come across next is half the fun.
