I have had difficulty getting my Apple iOS iPad / iPhone to work with an IMAP service on a non-standard port. The phone kept coming up with verification errors, and I could not find a way to get to a screen to configure the IMAP port. I finally got it working. Here's how.
The trick is to get to a screen where you can enter the correct SSL / IMAP port numbers into the iPad / iPhone (IMAP port 995 in my ISPs case, rather than the more typical ). What I have discovered it you cannot do this while you are connected to a network! So the work around is described below.
OMG this worked…Camayoc you are a lifesaving genius lol…I have been at this problem all day!
So decided to share via my blog where hopefully others struggling with the issue can find a resolution. Please like this article if the help works for you.
Set the phone into Airplane mode.
Select "Next". The iPhone will grumble it cannot verify the address, select "OK".
Then ignore the warning about the account not being able to send / receive emails and select "save".
Now go back in to settings, and re-edit.
Magically, there are now configuration options for all the SSL ports etc.
Set the right parameters here.
Please leave a comment, or simply like if you had this problem configuring your iOS iPad / iPhone for IMAP on a non-standard TCP port and the solution I described above worked for you.
Thank you! After wading through lots of virgin media help pages, this was the real answer – it seems to be a bug with ios.
Thank you! I'm so glad I found your post!!
Thank you very much! you saved me! After two days trying to unsuccessfully get emails after updating my Iphone to new version.. I was able to get it working following your instructions… Great help! thanks again!
Genius. So much for Apple's self-configuring intelligence. They should be required to have a special key for "I know what I'm doing, turn off the auto crap". Thank you for this. As a newly subjected wielded of an IOS device this post eases my pain a little. Stuff like this is so much easier on the Android platform because you don't have a monopoly on mail clients.
Thanks! What an annoyance that was; this blog post is very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for putting this on here. I am a bit of a technophobe, but even I managed to set up my ntlworld mail on my iphone using your instructions.
As my ntlworld account is the primary account that I use, it was a must to have on my iphone.
Thank you. It was simple and straight forward. I had 2-step verification ON in my GMAIL Settings. When turned-off temporarily, it worked.
Wonderful. After searching through numerous websites the answer was here.
It work! Thanks a million. I called Verizon technical support and they did have a clue as to why this occurs or how to fix it. Again thanks a million.
Brilliant! Worked for me too. Took ages searching. Didn't even need to change settings just turning network off worked fine!
The problem was with an iPad Air we just purchased yesterday. I'm wondering why Apple hasn't fixed this.
Great tips !!!!! Working off-line allowed me to set up the mail account and it works !!!!
Another thanks. Was seriously struggling converting my POP accounts to IMAP on my Mac, iPhone and iPad. Not only did the airplane mode let me access the SSL and port info on the iPad and iPhone but it automatically told me the correct port to use with Iprimus which I could then use on the Mac! I had spent more than an hour on the phone with Iprimus techs earlier and they couldn't get it going… asked them if the port needed changing from 110 but was told no! Funny about that works now with a different port!
Been stuffing around with this all day but now have two providers linked up to all three devices and syncing fine. Delete one and they all go… yeah! Thanks again!
Hi guys, thanks for the tips. I've tried it on mine but it still doesn't work. Been on it all day!
Thanks for your hints – I was having similar issues with Virginmedia (UK) since upgrading to Yosemite on the MBP. The port, on the laptop, kept getting reset after accessing mail on the iPad.
On iOS8.1 step 6 doesn't work, as the Save is greyed out. However, the good news is that without Airplane setting on, I managed to fix it. By going to Advanced setting on iPad Mini, and switching SSL on / port set to 995 instead of the default 110, it now seems to have stuck. Fingers crossed.
It worked,verry nice job,thanks verry verry much….
Genius! Thank you! Worked perfectly, been getting very frustrated that I couldn't input the appropriate settings to get my emails on my phone!
Amazing! I have been trying to get my mums new iPhone 6 to get emails from her Virgin account for weeks! Googled and this post came up! Easy to do and it works!!! Thank you!
no luck at all! it says cannot get mail the mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding. verify that you have enterede the correct account info in mail settings.
how should i go about this? have tried everything possible!! HELP!!!
I've been fighting with this same issue for the last day and a half… I broke down and asked my IT guy. He replied "Are you connected to the WIFI? Shut it off" – I disconnected the WIFI, and the mail worked! No reasoning… just results.
Thanks for this, worked first time. Why can't Virgin have this on their Help pages?!

EU looks to file new antitrust charges against Google
News: The charges relate to Alphabet company's dominance in advertising.
The European Union's competition watchdog has indicated that it is readying to issue a fresh set of antitrust charges against Google before August.
The charges relate to the search engine giant's dominance in advertising, people familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.
The latest charges will be the third set by the EU against the company so far.
The European Commission has asked Google's competitors to allow it to disclose to the search engine the confidential information provided by them to the commission.
The information supports claims that Google is misusing its dominance in advertising.
Rival companies have been given a week by the commission to submit fresh documents, which implies that the EU is close to finishing charges against Google, people familiar with the matter told the publication.
The European Union's antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager has already filed formal antitrust charges against Google, claiming that the company is distorting its search results to benefit its own shopping service.
In April, Vestager filed charges against the firm over its conduct with its Android mobile-operating system.
Vestager said that the agency is stepping up its probe into whether Google is resorting to abusive practices with its dominant position in advertising services.
The Silicon Valley-based technology firm earned 90% of its total revenue from advertising last year.
The concern is to find whether Google disallows or thwarts website operators from displaying ads on their websites that rival its advertising business.
The EU is also examining whether the company imposes restrictions on advertisers while using its auction-based advertising service.
In May, The Telegraph reported that Google could face a fine of about €3bn by the European Commission in a long-running antitrust case that alleged company's misuse of its dominant position in the online search market.
Apart from the fine, Google would have to modify its search practices to be in line with European law, the report said.
The commission can impose a penalty amounting to 10% of the company's annual sales.
The European Commission says in its antitrust factsheet: "The starting point for the fine is the percentage of the company's annual sales of the product concerned in the infringement (up to 30 percent). This is then multiplied by the number of years and months the infringement lasted.
"The fine can be increased (e.g. repeat offender) or decreased (e.g. limited involvement). The maximum level of fine is capped at 10 percent of the overall annual turnover of the company."

Description Library Commission Board Meeting Minutes: October 13, 1949, page 2
Transcript felt that it was of utmost importance that some of the Board members be present at the meeting. In connection with this, she proposed that the Library use some of its funds to pay membership dues for the Board members, this being customary in other libraries and having been approved by the Attorney General of the State of Louisiana. Mr. Hargrove objected and moved that each member pay his own dues. The Board was unanimous inits approval and suggested that the Librarian secure the forms to be sent in with the dues. The Shreveport Stamp Club has requested space in the Reference Room for the housing of a collection of books and periodicals of interest to stamp collectors, all materials to become the property of the Library but to be kept in one place. The Board gave its tentative approval but suggested that the Librarian meet with the committee from the Stamp Club and make sure that there would be no question as to the Library's ownership and no restrictions placed upon its administration of this collection. Mayor Fant mentioned the Book Page in the Shreveport Times and moved that the Chairman of the Board write a letter to the Editor expressing the Board's appreciation for the inclusion of such a page in the paper's Sunday edition. The Chairman then brought up the matter of a petition which had been presented to him just before the meeting started, by a representative of the Greater West End Civic Club pertaining to the dismissal of the assistant in the Parkview Branch Library by the Librarian. The Librarian gave her reasons for the dismissal and after some discussion the Board decided to hold the matter in abeyance for a period of thirty days. There being no further business the meeting adjourned. Bess Vaughan, Secretary. ___ Chairman.

Google Buzz: To be a geek is to enthusiastically try every weird little project that Google decides to undertake, as soon as possible, risking bugs, frustration, and even bodily harm. And since you will Buzz, if even for a few confused seconds, you may as well do it on your iPhone—it's a far sight more attractive and organized than the desktop app, and at least for me, makes the whole concept more approachable.
Technically, this is a web app; feature for feature, it's comparable to a native app, but the slowness of a web interface is immediately apparent. Free.
Fonolo: Fonolo's deep directory of company support lines and shortcuts it invaluable, leading you to—or near to—the specific human being you want to talk to at whatever company you're calling. It's always been accessible via the web, but the new iPhone app, though a bit buggy, will parachute-crash you into most phone trees faster than you can climb. Free.
Not only has Navigon added a bunch of new features to its iPhone app, the price is $20 cheaper-although if you want Traffic Live and 3D maps, it still adds up to $100. Nonetheless, it sounds worth it.
The update has a few nifty angles-there's the connection to your Facebook or Twitter accounts for updating friends on your current position, destination and time you're due to arrive; the aforementioned Panorama View 3D views (which use NASA height and terrain data) and personalized route delivery, called MyRoutes… it'll cost $100 if you want the full service for your iPhone or iPod Touch, with the actual price of the MobileNavigator app being lowered by $20 to $69.99. The Traffic Live has also been discounted slightly, from $24.99 to $19.99 (only available until the 15th of February), and the Panorama View 3D will cost $9.99. Those who bought the app before will get the update for free, according to Navigon.
NBC's free Olympics app also has a social component, ideal for trash-talking Norwegian lugers.
There are also updated medal counts, video (US-only), and sport-by-sport forecasts. The focus is predominantly on American competitors, so apologies in advance to international readers. Otherwise, though, if you're an Olympics junkie or nationalist smack-talker, it's definitely worth a download.
The level of polish and depth here is what you expect from the kind of paid apps you usually see associated with a specific sports league, and it's tough to overstate the usefulness of have a simple, searchable reference for all the variations of sliding across ice that comprise the Winter Olympics.
Doom II: Mark's down on this app, and I can understand if the concept of a Doom RPG doesn't get your blood boiling. That said, hear me out: The lowered pace of the game, as opposed to a traditional FPS, actually makes the experience less frantic, and less frustrating. Basically, if you enjoyed the Wolfenstein RPG at all, you'll probably like this one too.
Sky Siege: A 3D augmented reality game that fits the mold of most of the first generation of iPhone AR games, as far as gameplay goes: hold your phone up, move to aim, tap to shoot. The blimps, helicopters and planes are all around you, so you will look like an idiot playing this, but what the hell, you'll be a smiling idiot.
With surprisingly good graphics and animations, Sky Siege is more convincing than the other FPS simulators you may have seen, which makes gameplay both more frenetic and immersive. My only gripe is that $3 feels a little pricey for what amounts to a protracted party trick. 3GS only.
Elmo's Monster Maker: Build a Sesame Street puppet monster (nearly) from scratch, and play with him. The real value here is in the graphics and animations, which are extremely smooth, and which make the Frankensteinian moment of life magical enough to cause me, a full-grown human being, to make gleeful gurgling sounds at my iPhone.
If your child doesn't enjoy dancing Elmo, your child is broken. $4.
Meebo: This one's not here yet, but just in case you were planning on running out and dropping five or ten dollars on a messaging app, hold on—Meebo is coming, and it looks wonderful. Vital features like multi-protocol support and push notifications are there, though that's nothing revolutionary. Where Meebo wins, according to Techcrunch, is with speed: it's blazingly fast, simple to navigate and completely, utterly free.
GorillaCam: This app again! Joby's been content to give away GorillaCam for free in exchange for branding, which we cautiously accepted as an excuse for a few shortcomings. For the most part, GorillaCam 1.1 fills the gaps, adding digital zoom, touch to focus (for the 3GS), antishake (which actually works fairly well) and selectable image sizes. Paid apps like Snapture and Camerabag are going to have to step it up, or price it down.
ToonPaint: When you first use ToonPaint, it feels like you're using an adjustable photo filter, and not much more. Then, you start painting. I'll let the video explain this one.
As someone who can't draw an even circle, let alone a convincing portrait, I can vouch for this one. Brutally unartistic people: Remember how you felt when you used to trace cartoons as a kid? This is like that, again, on your iPhone. $2.

Brad & Sarah Jane's Lakeside Engagement Session | Lake Rabun, Georgia
Love on the lake. For Brad and Sarah Jane, the water played a pivotal role in their love story. Brad grew up spending his summers lakeside, his parents met and fell in love on the lake (she was the pretty girl with the cool boat, Brad's dad made sure to scoop her up quick!), so it seemed only natural for Brad and Sarah Jane's love story to include the water.
"Co-worker's" was the first title for Brad and Sarah Jane. Though Sarah Jane quickly knew that she wanted to be more than just co-workers when she met Brad, but he had a strict no dating in the workplace rule. They instead formed a strong friendship, and when they no longer worked together they made fast work of planning a first date. Plans were made and they enjoyed a beautiful rooftop dinner together at JCT Kitchen (an Atlanta fave!) And while the food and drinks we're delicious, it was the ease of conversation that made the evening perfect.
After that first date, Brad and Sarah Jane were inseparable! Five months later, Brad told Sarah Jane he loved her on the porch at the lake house. And not long after that, Brad pulled of what may be the smoothest proposal ever! Like most weekends, they decided to head to the lake. Brad's parent's told a bit of a fib and let them know they were going to be a day late joining them on the water. Sarah Jane didn't think a thing of it. When they arrived at Lake Rabun, she quickly gathered snacks and drinks for she and Brad to enjoy on a sunset cruise. As they laid on the back of the boat, Brad told Sarah Jane that this was almost the perfect day. "What would make it better?" She asked. That's when Brad stood her up, dropped to one knee and asked her to marry him.
They celebrated with dinner at Hotel Rabun and were joined the next day by Brad's parents and to Sarah Jane's shock, her parents as well! Brad and Sarah Jane's story is so sweet. Their loving and joyful spirits made our time together unforgettable. Also unforgettable, when they jumped of their boat into the water and the end of our session!
Love on the lake, is there anything sweeter?
Monica Cohen says:
It's wonderful to see you so happy, Sarah Jane and Brad! I love your romantic story and your engagement story! Brad, you did an excellent job to make it a perfect day! I have tears of joy. Love, Aunt Monica
Leigh Wolfe says:
Agreed, they planned a beautiful and meaningful day!


Jimmy Harris has a lot to learn about girls. Then again, what sixth grade boy doesn't?
As the sixth grade begins, Jimmy promptly finds himself in love with not one, but two girls. What's a boy to do? Luckily, he has football to distract him, and as the big game approaches, Jimmy must make a very big decision, perhaps the biggest in his young life.
Jimmy and the Monroe Mustangs is a coming-of-age, young adult novel that features one very special sixth-grade boy who loves football and girls…but not necessarily in that order.


Tomorrow starts the final session of Formula 1 testing before the first race in Australia for the 2014 season. The last two sessions have been dominated by one story and really one story alone, the continued failures of the Renault powered cars. With this, the current reigning World Champion's Infiniti RedBull, seem to be up a creek without a paddle. They haven't completed nearly enough laps during the last two sessions with both of their drivers combined to make any real headway with the new RB10. This is largely due to the fact that Renault won't allow them to actually run the cars at full throttle due to crankshaft vibration issues. This session is key for them, if they can't figure out and tame the gremlins that they have been battling, I think they will ask for an extension based of mechanical life expectancy, and being that almost half the grid run these powertrains, and I feel like it would be a good bet that they get the extension.
The second story that you should all be following, besides all my cool stuff, are the boys at McLaren. Button and Magnussen right now seem to be fighting to see who becomes the Vettel in their relationship. Magnussen is showing great promise and continues to get better and better. While Button not going down without a fight showed the rookie how it's done in the last session. This will be a great rivalry to watch not just in testing but throughout the season.
Other places to watch will be the dynamic between Raikkonen and Alonso to see who becomes second fiddle at Ferrari. We all know that neither of these drivers will accept a secondary position, this I feel won't become truly evident until Australia. It will be interesting to see if they go toe to toe though in test session times trying to one up each other.
Now many people are saying that the cars are slower and they won't be as good as last year, and all other forms of nonsense. Including what the cars are running right now is in no way what they will be running this season. This is partially true. The cars up to this point haven't been running at full race pace. Mercedes did attempt a qualifying lap with Rosberg and managed to pull in only a second behind last season's qualifying pole position, held by Rosberg, but they even stated they weren't giving it the full beans. That means that they are within a real chance of tying that time that they set last season. This is good for us fans, because that means the cars, so far are just as quick or on par to being just as quick as last season. They also aren't running as much downforce as they were last season. Meaning they will be a bit slower through the turns, however that lack of downforce means that they will be faster through the straights possibly giving us more position switching throughout the race. This is good.
Now I understand that there are still many factors coming into this next test session that need to be worked out and that nothing is set in stone, but just from the timing sheets so far, I have a feeling this is going to be a good season, so long as Renault can fix their cars!
Stay tuned tomorrow starting at 5am CST for the first test day of the second session!
And check out my new series Sittin, Waitin, Wishin, this is the second article in the series!

"Gripping…as in classic tragedy, it's a subtle look at how the personalities and choices of the characters lead to a deed they can't undo." -The Dallas Morning News


When Bob Dylan released Modern Times in 2006, Robert Forster wrote an incisive essay in The Monthly about his hero's shape-shifting personas. In particular, he examined Dylan's most recent incarnation: as a grizzled older man, getting on a bit yet still swinging, facing down death with a tune.
Over his last decade, Forster, now nearing 60, has gone through a few reinventions of his own. First off, 2008's The Evangelist suggested he was following Dylan's example and embracing the cruel passage of time just as it had embraced him. Inspired by the sudden death of The Go-Betweens' co-founder and co-writer, Grant McLennan, in May 2006, the record was slow, sparse and filled with ruminations on loss. It had its beautiful moments, sure, but the sarcasm, the louche sophistication and the playful, biting wit that have long characterised Forster's best work were, understandably, taking a back seat. It was as if Bryan Ferry had suddenly morphed into Nick Drake.
The Evangelist was something of an anomaly, though; in the years since, Robert Forster has become the renaissance man he's long cast himself as in his songs. His career as a music critic has flourished, even resulting in a publication of his columns, The Ten Rules Of Rock And Roll; he's compiled the reissue series G Stands For Go-Betweens, Volume One of which was released earlier this year; he's begun producing for other people, including The John Steel Singers on their 2010 debut, Tangalooma; and now he's not only writing songs about Rupert Bunny paintings, he's so respected as a cultural commentator that he's actually invited to galleries to talk about them.
Unlike The Evangelist, recorded by Go-Betweens producer Mark Wallis on computer in London, Songs To Play was made in collaboration with two of The John Steel Singers, Scott Bromiley and Luke McDonald, and tracked live to tape up a mountain outside Brisbane. It's arguably the best Forster has ever sounded, with the crisp recording a world away from the digital reverb smears that blighted 1990's Danger In The Past, or even The Go-Betweens' Tallulah.
30 years his juniors, Bromiley and McDonald seem to have acted as the young bucks pushing Uncle Robert to again experiment with arrangements. 1996's Warm Nights was similarly expansive, with lysergic fuzz guitars, oom-pah-assisted country shuffles and stately "Like A Rolling Stone" homages, and Songs To Play picks up where that left off; from the bossa nova rhythms of "Love Is Where It Is", and the acidic, clattering folk of "I'm So Happy For You", to the glittering piano and glockenspiel parts that highlight the limping, romantic "And I Knew", there's a rich palette of colour here. Throughout much of the record, too, the lilting violin and voice of Forster's wife, Karin Bäumler, are important textures, echoing Amanda Brown's contributions to The Go-Betweens' late-'80s peaks.
The Go-Betweens were at their most impressive when they matched traditional pop structures with warped lyrics or experimental textures – "Cattle And Cane"'s cantering, off-kilter rhythm, say, or the detached wordplay of "You Can't Say No Forever". Perhaps Forster was reminded of these successes as he compiled the Go-Betweens boxsets, as in many respects, for all the years, joy and pain that have spooled by, the Robert Forster on Songs To Play is very much like the Robert Forster of the '80s – bookish, aloof, fey, stylish and sarcastic, he's still speak-singing snarky bon mots like a subtropical Jonathan Richman in an undertaker's suit, or an Antipodean Lou Reed more comfortable at a gallery than Lexington, 125. Back in 1987, he even turned grey, the result of a reputed eight-hour dye job in unlikely honour of Dynasty's Blake Carrington.
His modus operandi – white, suburban, left-of-centre indie-pop, still in thrall to the '60s and '70s – might not have changed all that much, but Songs To Play is nevertheless his strongest work for decades. It's to Robert Forster's credit that he hasn't settled down into the persona of the older musician, like his hero Dylan, slowing both tempos and heart rates. Instead he's returned revitalised, buoyed by young blood and new possibilities, reinvigorated by life, art and music. His hair's now grey for real, yet he's sounding more youthful than he has in years. Old age suits him.


This week I have the pleasure of bringing you this interview from the sunny and smoky, though thankfully not burning, south coast of New South Wales from my fabulous family holiday. A time I'm thankful to be able to spend with my family but also a time I'm beginning to fear may be extended as I get stranded by closed highways. So this is also a time I send heartfelt thoughts to all of those affected by the bushfires sweeping the nation.
I was pleased to ask some questions of West Australian author Jenny Schwartz in the lead up to the release of her January title with Escape Publishing, Mistaken Engagement, which I am looking forward to reading on my weekend at the coast.
Welcome to Beauty and Lace Jenny, thanks for taking the time to talk with us.
Thanks for the chance to visit, Michelle. I'm thrilled to be chatting with everyone at Beauty and Lace. You all know how to make a girl feel welcome!
You're going to think I'm pulling your leg, but the honest to God truth is that I was writing before I could write. Mum remembers me sitting at a tiny kids table in a corner of the kitchen and scribbling line after line before I could read or write. After that, reading Enid Blyton just fed the habit, and I can't remember a time when I wasn't reading or writing. Once I worked up the courage to start submitting my stories to (scary) editors, I found that the publishing community is immensely supportive of new writers. So that was a huge life lesson learned: If you have a dream, follow it.
My big break came when Harlequin launched its first digital-only line, Carina Press. I submitted an angel and djinn story, The Price of Freedom, and they published it! I was one of Carina Press's launch authors and the experience was incredible. Over two years later, the community of Carina authors remains strong and I've had four more stories published with Carina Press, including two steampunk stories set in Western Australia, my Bustlepunk Chronicles. It was such a wonderful experience that I leapt at the chance to be involved in Escape Publishing, Harlequin's new Australian digital line. Escape has given me the opportunity to try my hand at writing contemporary romance, and you know what? It's fun!
Your January Escape title is Mistaken Engagement, can you tell us a little about it?
I love all the stories I write, but Mistaken Engagement is special. It's written to celebrate Australia Day, to share the joy of catching up with family and friends, of being part of a wonderful community and of simply enjoying an Aussie summer holiday. At 10,000 words it's a quick, intense romance to get you in the holiday mood — whether you're an Aussie or just dreaming of summer Down Under.
Saul won't let his step-cousin Grace avoid the family any longer. Sure, his claim that they're engaged & her hysterical denial makes things awkward, but it can all be worked out. The Australia Day long weekend down at the family's beach house is the perfect time to show everyone that they're friends, with not a broken heart between them. But can a fake engagement become life-changingly real?
Have you got a favourite genre? You write across several genres, do you enjoy one more than the others?
I've been reading contemporary romance for (counts on fingers, adds toes, runs out of digits. Eeek!) a number of years *grin* and I'm thrilled to be writing it. The joy of contemporary romance is that it celebrates the here and now and offers people hope and the promise of happy ever after. So I love contemporary romance.
But I adore Steampunk. Steampunk is history with a twist. It adds fantastic technology and modern attitude to a world that never was. For me, that world is the West Australian Goldrush of the 1890s. I have a degree in history and steampunk lets me use and abuse it. The very best thing about writing about that time and place in my Bustlepunk Chronicles is that people can walk the present day streets of Fremantle and Perth and imagine them overlaid with the world I describe. That world is very real to me and I wish that the Bombaytown I made up, modelled on San Francisco's Chinatown, existed.
Copper Beach by Jayne Ann Krentz. I'm a huge fan of her work. She's an amazing romance author, and I just love her heroes. I've got three of my favourite Aussie authors lined up after that: Man Drought by Rachael Johns, How to Get Over Your Ex by Nikki Logan and Kelly Hunter's The One that Got Away.
Is there something you're working on that you can tell us about?
It's meant to be a secret so I can only hint…look out for something special around Anzac Day.
With so many new Australian romance publishers (not just Escape Publishing, but Destiny Romance and Romance at Random) this is an exciting time to share stories that really resonate with Australian readers. I hope people get addicted to celebrating Aussie holidays with Aussie authors.
I was checking out your website today and have got to ask, where was you're your cover image taken?
Fremantle! The setting for my Bustlepunk Chronicles and the setting for my first contemporary romance published with Escape, Drawing Closer. Isn't it a fab photo? It's of Bathers Beach, which is just across from where the Romance Writers of Australia will be holding their 2013 conference and where all readers will be welcome to attend an Australian Romance Readers Association book signing. I hope to see you all there! And if you are there, please be super-nice to me. It'll be my first RWA conference and book signing, and I'll be a nervous wreck.
I take photos, like the ones used on my website. Although I'm very much an amateur photographer, I enjoy seeing the world through a lens. For some reason, it frames the beauty and makes me stop and appreciate how gorgeous my life is.
I also read, cook and occasionally garden. I say occasionally garden because I start out all enthusiastic, then decide I'd rather be inside, in the air conditioning (hasn't this summer been hot? or is that just Perth?) reading.
Who do you think has had the strongest influence on your career?
This is such a good question and so difficult to answer. A high school teacher who wrote "worthy of publication" on one of my stories. Too many editors to name who gave freely of their time, offering support and criticism even when they had to reject my early stories. Friends and family. Perhaps most of all, the innumerable authors whose books helped me through bad times and good. I keep writing because I want to share that gift of touching people's hearts.
It means being strong, being there for those you love, laughing, loving, sharing joy and embracing who you are. Follow your heart.
You can catch up with Jenny at her website, on Twitter and Facebook.
I really need to get into Steampunk and your Bustlepunk Chronicles sound amazing! Great to learn more about you and your amazing publishing journey.
Re: A high school teacher who wrote "worthy of publication" on one of my stories.
I just want to hug that HS teacher for you. She was not only prescient but supportive of her students.
Great post Jenny. I loved learning about your steampunk novels which sound fascinating. Ooooh, AND now cant wait until ANZAC Day.
Loving the title of her life saving recipes……that's me to a T.


As the bible says, firstly we hear the message of God, secondly we see (an open mind) thirdly we act (putting the word of God into practice – repentance of sins) and we then ask for His Holy Spirit which carries the truth and leads us to salvation. Now that our mind is open to Christ's teaching, we live a life that pleases God. So we shun evil and embrace goodness.
God made it easy for us; Jesus said, His yoke is easy… and that means Jesus' ways are easy, they give us peace and joy, but Satan's ways are harder and makes our lives harder to eventual misery. We have all done something wrong at some point and have apologised to someone. But a Christian way is to humble yourself, seek forgiveness from God, and say, I'm sorry God, from now on I'm going to change my ways and do it your way. (Obedience) Just like a prodigal son.
Just like a parent to a child. When a child does something wrong, a good child would confess to a parent. I'm sorry I lied, and then a parent would explain to the child with a warning not do that again or you'll get a discipline. Or when a child does something wrong, a parent would tell a child to go and apologise to the one they've wronged (confession). The same applies with God and his children, in the end we ask Him for forgiveness. For God wants us to act in humility and love.

Firms reminded to remember fall risk from vehicles
A manufacturer of steel water storage tanks and supporting towers has been fined after a worker suffered multiple fractures falling from height.
On 25 October 2017, a Braithwaite Engineers Limited employee was injured when he fell from a lorry bed whilst unloading the lorry at their site in Risca. The fall resulted in multiple fractures of his head, ribs, shoulder blade and fingers, causing him to miss over five months of work.
Investigating, the HSE found the company had failed to provide employees with suitable and clear instructions and training so that employees did not access lorry beds in an unsafe manner.
Braithwaite Engineers Limited, of Units A&B Leeway House, Leeway Industrial Estate, Newport pleaded guilty of breaching Section 2(1) of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The company was fined £9,400 and ordered to pay costs of £1,680.75.
Speaking after the case HSE Inspector Will Powell said: "Falls from vehicles can be overlooked by employers when considering risks from work at height. Simple measures would have prevented this accident."

Hochul Reviewing Legal Bills Racked Up by Cuomo's Office in Harassment and Nursing Home Probes
By Greg B. Smith gsmith@thecity.nyc
SHARE Hochul Reviewing Legal Bills Racked Up by Cuomo's Office in Harassment and Nursing Home Probes

Gov. Kathy Hochul is examining some $5 million in pending taxpayer-funded contracts with the law firms and public relations outfit her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo, hired to represent his office and staff before stepping down, THE CITY has learned.
"We will be reviewing all legal contracts and making appropriate decisions on the need for legal representation and whether to continue any contracts," a spokesperson for the governor told THE CITY in response to questions about the outstanding bills.
All told, between lawyers representing Cuomo's office and outside counsel brought in to investigate him, taxpayers face a potential total bill of $8.78 million based on contracts already signed by Cuomo, Attorney General Letitia James' office and the state Assembly.
As of this week, one of two prominent Manhattan law firms and a public relations company Cuomo hired several months back had submitted bills to the executive chamber. Before he left office Cuomo signed off on about $785,000 in payments for one of the law firms and the p.r. concern, records show.
That leaves another $4.2 million in potential bills under the contracts inked by Cuomo. Hochul — who in her first day in office pledged a new transparency for state government — will now decide what the firms will be paid going forward.
Gov. Kathy Hochul pledged a new transparency for state government in her address to New Yorkers Tuesday.

The law firm Walden Macht & Haran represented the governor's office in James' investigation into the sexual harassment accusations against Cuomo that led to his resignation.
A second firm, Morvillo Abramowitz Grand Iason & Anello, was enlisted by the governor's office to deal with the state Assembly-led impeachment effort and a federal investigation into Cuomo's public representations about the number of nursing home deaths during the pandemic.
As of Wednesday, only the Morvillo firm had been paid, receiving about $765,000 back in July, state records show. The Walden firm was expected to submit a bill to the executive chamber before Cuomo left office, but it was unclear whether that happened.
$973 an Hour
Innovative Discovery Holdings, a public relations firm hired by Cuomo that describes itself as "Your trusted partner throughout the litigation lifecycle," has received three payments totaling $28,534, the most recent one sent out last week, records show.
A spokesperson for Cuomo said the company had "provided assistance with discovery requests made by the New York Attorney General's office."
The executive chamber hired Walden Macht & Haran three days after Cuomo asked James to investigate allegations by multiple women accusing the governor of sexual harassment. The lead lawyer, former federal prosecutor Mitra Hormozi, was to be paid $600 per hour — a 20% discount from what the firm says is her usual fee.
Morvillo Abramowitz had represented Cuomo in the past when then-Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara looked into why the then-governor had shut down a corruption investigation led by a Moreland Commission he himself had appointed. That investigation yielded no criminal charges or findings of wrongdoing by Cuomo.
In February, Cuomo again reached out to the Morvillo Abramowitz firm after the Brooklyn U.S. attorney began looking into whether he and his administration had lied to the federal government about the number of nursing home patients who'd died of COVID-19 during the height of the pandemic last year.
Lawyer Elkan Abramowitz commands $973 per hour — a 25% discount from his usual fee.
The firm was hired on contract not to exceed $1.5 million, though that cap grew to $2.5 million when the Assembly opened up its impeachment inquiry.
Partner Elkan Abramowitz, a veteran criminal defense lawyer, commands $973 per hour, under the deal — a 25% discount from what the firm says is his usual fee.
The executive chamber signed off on contracts agreeing to pay up to $2.5 million each to both the Walden and Morvillo firms, and both have end dates that take the arrangements well into 2023. A spokesperson for Cuomo said Innovative did not have a retainer agreement.
Lawyers at Walden Macht declined to comment. Morvillo Abramowitz did not respond to a request for comment. Lisa Richmeier, vice president of human resources at Innovative, declined to describe what the company did for Cuomo's office, stating, "We don't comment on our work."
A third law firm, Arnold & Porter, also represented the executive chamber in the attorney general's investigation, but it has yet to submit a bill and there was still no contract on file with the state comptroller as of Wednesday.
Some Yet to Be Paid
Meanwhile, Cuomo's campaign is paying his personal lawyer, Rita Glavin, who took to TV to defend the then-governor and cast doubt on the accounts of some of his accusers. As of June 2, her firm, Glavin PLLC, had received $284,873, campaign finance records show.
Law firms were also hired by investigators looking into accusations against Cuomo. Two law firms enlisted by James' office, for example, inked contracts worth up to $3.5 million: Cleary Gottlieb ($2.552 million) and Vladeck Raskin ($950,000).
A third, Davis Polk, has an agreement worth up to $250,000 to assist the Assembly in its impeachment inquiry, which essentially ended when Cuomo announced his resignation. A final report based on the impeachment investigation is expected in the coming months.
Attorney Rita Glavin defended then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in an online presentation three days after the report that led to his eventual downfall.

The firms hired by the AG and the Assembly have yet to receive a dime, records show.
James' Aug. 3 report detailed accusations from 11 women, including three who alleged Cuomo touched them in a sexual manner. The findings triggered several local district attorneys to request the evidence James had collected for possible criminal charges down the road.
James declined to recommend criminal prosecution for any of Cuomo's actions, although five local district attorneys — in Manhattan, Westchester, Nassau, Oswego and Albany Counties — have opened investigations into some of the sexual harassment accusations. So far none have resulted in any charges.
How New York Went From Cuomo to Hochul
Some of the DAs recently asked James to delay releasing transcripts of interviews made during her investigation of the sexual harassment claims.
An investigation apparently continues by federal prosecutors in Brooklyn looking into whether Cuomo and his staff misled the U.S. Justice Department about the number of COVID-19-related deaths in nursing homes.

NTC Chain of responsibility duties review submission
The chain of responsibility provisions in the Heavy Vehicle National Law should be streamlined to reduce complexity without affecting safety, the ATA submission to the National Transport Commission's Chain of Responsibility (CoR) duties review says.
The ATA has long argued that the complexity and inconsistency of the existing CoR provisions is a problem for industry and regulators. Even prosecutors and judges have trouble understanding them.
From an industry point of view, the lack of clarity and sensible organisation in the law makes it unnecessarily difficult for businesses, managers and employees to understand and comply with their legal obligations.
To address these issues, the CoR duties in the law should be restructured into a single chapter and duplicate provisions removed.
The ATA submission argues the requirement that businesses must take 'all reasonable steps' to prevent contraventions is misleading and has serious practical problems.
The ATA proposes retiring the concept of 'all reasonable steps' and replacing it with the work health and safety standard, 'so far as is reasonably practicable'.
Businesses have a clear understanding of their obligations under 'so far as is reasonably practicable.' In addition, it has a history of consistent interpretation by the courts going back to 1949.
There is probably little legal difference between the two standards, so the proposal would make the law clearer and more understandable without affecting safety.
The submission recommends that what the NTC calls 'chapter-based' duties should be introduced to cover vehicle safety and standards; mass, dimension and load restraint; and speeding. There is already a chapter based duty relating to fatigue.
These duties would require businesses to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that contraventions in each area covered by the law do not occur.
Adding these extra duties would fill in some gaps, avoid the need for tinkering as business practices change, and enable seven overly-prescriptive requirements to be removed.
The ATA submission also recommends that the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator publish guidelines for non-mandatory codes of practice to help businesses meet their CoR obligations.
An integral part of best practice safety regulation is the availability of evidentiary standards, such as industry codes of practice, that have special legal significance. Proof of compliance with an approved code of practice can be used as evidence of whether a duty has been complied with.
Apart from transitional codes that were registered under the previous state laws, there are no codes of practice available under the HVNL, nor has the NHVR released guidelines for registering one.
The NHVR should issue these guidelines as soon as possible. In addition, the NHVR and NTC should publish more non-code guidance material about how businesses can comply.

Senator Syverson's Week in Review: Oct. 30 – Nov. 3
State lawmakers return to Springfield Nov. 7 for the final days of fall veto session. Lawmakers are expected to take up several pieces of new legislation and possibly vote on other legislation vetoed by the Governor.
Also this week, the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) will begin to pour through thousands of surveys from across the state, advising them on how they can improve rest areas; the Illinois State Police is asking people to take part in a new logo contest; and new information is available on how people can protect themselves from a recent data breach.
Final week of Veto Session begins next week
State lawmakers return to Springfield Nov. 7 for the final week of the fall veto session. Issues that could come up during the scheduled three-day session include a property tax freeze, gun control measures, law enforcement being allowed to continue to use an eavesdropping device during investigations, credit agencies not being allowed to charge consumers who place or take off a security freeze on their credit report, and mandatory sexual harassment training for lawmakers, staff, and lobbyists, among other issues.
Lawmakers are expected to return to Springfield in January to begin a five-month legislative session.
Legislation helps municipalities save money when filing audits
Municipalities could file their annual audit with the Comptroller's Office using a far easier method, saving them time and taxpayer dollars, under legislation filed at the Statehouse.
Senate Bill 2258 would allow municipalities to prepare their annual financial audit through either an accrual basis or cash basis accounting practices. In June, the Comptroller's Office sent a letter requiring municipalities use only the accrual basis accounting practice, a method that is more complicated, time-consuming, and costly because oftentimes, an accounting firm has to be hired by the municipality to conduct the audit.
Many rural municipalities want to use cash basis accounting because their budgets are basic, small, and don't justify them using accrual basis accounting.
According to accountingcoach.com, under the accrual basis method of accounting, revenues are reported on the income statement when they are earned and expenses are matched with the related revenues and/or are reported when the expense occurs, not when the cash is paid. Under the cash basis method of accounting, revenues are reported on the income statement when the cash is received.
Thousands offer IDOT advice on rest areas
The Illinois Department of Transportation will now start to analyze nearly 4,500 surveys about the condition of rest areas in Illinois. From Oct. 11-Oct. 29, IDOT offered people the chance to answer a 20-question survey about rest areas, ranging from their thoughts on rest rooms, water fountains, playgrounds, how satisfied they are when they use the state's rest areas, how important certain features are to them, among other topics.
IDOT says the survey will help the agency when they consider how to rehab or possibly close rest areas throughout the state. IDOT says that many of their rest areas have reached a point where now is the time to evaluate their future. A date has not been determined for when IDOT will announce what rest areas will be rehabbed or possibly closed.
Thirty rests areas throughout the state are maintained by IDOT, serving more than 36 million travelers every year.

Updated information on protecting yourself from Equifax data breach
Illinois residents are urged to be vigilant following a massive data breach of consumer reporting agency Equifax, which announced on Sept. 8 that it suffered a breach affecting at least 143 million Americans. Information compromised in the breach includes Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, names, dates of birth, credit card numbers and addresses. This creates an ideal opportunity for impacted people to become victims of identity theft.
The company has set up a website where people can check whether their personal information potentially was affected by the breach: https://www.equifaxsecurity2017.com/. Consumers with questions regarding Equifax's data breach are encouraged to contact Equifax at 866-447-7559.
Illinois residents are urged to take the Equifax breach seriously and take precautions, such as:
· Seriously consider placing a credit freeze on your credit reports with all 3 consumer reporting agencies: TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax;
· Regularly request your free credit reports, inspect them closely, and promptly dispute any unauthorized accounts;
· Inspect all financial account statements closely and promptly dispute any unauthorized charges;
· Consider placing alerts on your financial accounts so your financial institution alerts you when money above a pre-designated amount is withdrawn;
· Beware of potential phishing emails; don't open any email messages or attachments from unknown senders and do not click on any unknown links. Fraudsters will frequently send coercive and misleading emails threatening account suspension or worse if sensitive information is not provided. Remember, businesses will never ask customers to verify account information via email. If in doubt, contact the business in question directly for verification and to report phishing emails; and
· Be on the lookout for spoofed email addresses. Spoofed email addresses are those that make minor changes in the domain name, frequently changing the letter O to the number zero, or the lowercase letter l to the number one. Scrutinize all incoming email addresses to ensure that the sender is truly legitimate.
· Visit www.equifaxsecurity2017.com for more information.
· Equifax will provide free credit-monitoring and identity-theft protection.
· Sign up for a credit freeze with Equifax, Transunion, and Experian.
o Equifax: Call 800-349-9960. Free until November 21st.
o TransUnion at 888-909-8872 and Experian at 888-397-3742. There will be a $10 charge.
· Illinois Attorney General Resources
o Identity Theft Hotline: (866) 999-5630.
o Consumer information: http://www.illinoisattorneygeneral.gov/consumers/hotline.html
o Option to filing a complaint: https://ccformsubmission.ilattorneygeneral.net/
· The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires the three credit reporting agencies to provide a free copy of your credit report, at your request, once every 12 months.
People can also contact the state Attorney General's Identity Theft Hotline at 1 (866) 999-5630 or review Identity Theft resources on the AG's website. The hotline is staffed with identity theft experts who can help victims report the crime to local law enforcement and financial institutions, work to repair their credit and prevent future theft. Hotline operators can also assist callers who want to take proactive steps to prevent their personal information from being stolen.
The Attorney General is also calling on Equifax to suspend its charge for placing a credit freeze on their accounts in light of the significant risk of identity theft posted by the breach. Currently, Equifax is permitted to charge Illinois residents up to $10 to implement a credit freeze, remove a freeze or temporarily thaw a credit freeze, with limited exceptions for identity theft victims, individuals age 65 or older, and active duty military service members. In announcing the breach, Equifax also said it would offer free credit monitoring to everyone.

26-11-2021 Fri 23:10 IST | IANS | Health
New Delhi, Nov 26: The first European case of the new ultra-infectious and vaccine-resistant Botswana variant has been confirmed in Belgium, with experts in the UK warning that it could be there already, the Daily Mail reported.
Passengers flying to the Netherlands from South Africa were barred from getting off the plane on Friday as the continent tightened its borders in an attempt to shut out the strain, which scientists have described as the 'worst variant ever'.
Yet, British arrivals from the variant's epicentre, Johannesburg, were left to mingle with hundreds of other passengers as they flew into Heathrow on the last flights out of Africa before the red list was re-imposed at midday. Passengers revealed they were not tested or questioned about their travel history, the report said.
In a sombre statement to MPs in the House of Commons on Friday morning, the UK Health Secretary said the new B.1.1.529 strain -- which has been spotted in Europe -- posed a 'substantial risk to public health' and described its ultra-transmissibility and vaccine-dodging abilities as of 'huge international concern'.
Adam Finn, a member of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), had earlier raised the prospect of lockdown curbs being reintroduced, warning that people must be braced for a 'change in restrictions' if the variant spreads to the UK, the report added.
Susan Hopkins, chief medical advisor to the UK's Health and Security Agency (UKHSA), warned that it is 'possible' that the strain has already entered Britain.
She said "people are arriving every day" to the UK from Belgium, South Africa, Botswana, Hong Kong and Israel, where the variant has been officially detected.
Around 10,000 people have arrived from South Africa alone in the last two weeks since the strain was first detected, the report added.

Q: Proof that a force applied to the center of mass is the same as force applied off-center There is a similar question that gives a bit of an explanation, but little mathematical proof here:
force applied not on the center of mass
I would like mathematical proof that shows that the velocity of a rigid body when a force is applied to the center of mass is equal to the velocity of the same rigid body when the same force is applied to a point on the body other than the center of mass.
Thanks in advance!

A: Newton's second law $F=ma$ does not depend on the point of application of force because this law is valid only for point particles. Now to apply it to rigid bodies we must consider them as a system of particles.
Let a rigid body be made up of $N$ particles of mass $m_1,m_2,\cdots,m_N$. Now apply a force $f$ to some $i_{th}$ particle. All other particles will also exert internal forces on each other.
Therefore, the second law for all particles is
\begin{align}f_1^{int}&=\frac{dp_1}{dt}\\
f_2^{int}&=\frac{dp_2}{dt}\\
\cdots\\
f+f_i^{int}&=\frac{dp_i}{dt}\\
\cdots\\
f_N^{int}&=\frac{dp_N}{dt}\end{align}
Adding all these
$$\sum_j f_j^{int}+f=\sum_j\frac{dp_j}{dt}$$
By the third law
$$\sum_j f_j^{int}=0$$
Thus
$$f=\frac{dP}{dt} \text{where } P=\sum_jp_j$$
Now if you apply the same force $f$ to the center of mass of the body, you get the same equation for total momentum.
$$f=\frac{dP}{dt}$$
Therefore both situations will have identical solution for the total momentum and hence for the linear velocity of the center of mass of the rigid body.

A:
the velocity of a rigid body when a force is applied to the center of mass is equal to the velocity of the same rigid body when the same force is applied to a point on the body other than the center of mass

I disagree with the above statement that you made.  For instance, if I have a long, narrow block and apply a force at its center of mass all the force I applied will get turned into translational motion of the object, i.e., the object will start moving to another location.  However, if I take the same object and apply a force near one of the ends of the block perpendicular to the length of the block some to all of the force will produce a rotational motion in the block; thus even with the same force the block will not have the same final translational velocity as in the first case because it will also have some rotational velocity (usually called angular velocity).
However (and perhaps this is what you mean in your question) the final kinetic energies of the objects in both cases will be the same (as long as the same force is applied over the same displacement).  In the first case, all the work from applying the force will become translational kinetic energy while in the second case some of the work from the applied force will become translational kinetic energy while some becomes rotational kinetic energy.  However, as I said before, for the same force applied over the same displacement the final total kinetic energies in both cases will be the same.

A: Well,, its not sufficiently mathematically sound,
But
On any body, wherever you apply a force as long as the force is on that body,,, we can apply F=ma (newtons second law)
which is independent of the position of application of force as long as the body as rigid (or else mass may change(breaking off, etc)
However,, when it comes to torque the equation being |T|=mar sin x ,, varies with r

Home Editorial RSN Pick of the Day Russian Hacking Hysteria
Russian Hacking Hysteria
Matthew Vadum | FrontPage Mag
The Left can't stop blaming the vast Russian conspiracy.
All this talk of a vast Russian conspiracy to hack U.S. computer networks to put Donald Trump in the White House is difficult to believe.
It may turn out to be true that somebody either hacked the Democratic National Committee or leaked emails from inside the DNC to expose Democrats' dirty tricks against the Trump campaign. Among those illicit operations were the effort to foment violence at Trump campaign rallies, rigging the Democrat primaries against Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), and the leaking of debate questions by then-CNN pundit and now acting DNC chairman Donna Brazile.
The Left's immediate goal, as it was during and after the bitter 36-day-long Bush versus Gore recent in Florida in 2000, is working toward a broader narrative. Left-wingers are laboring to delegitimize the incoming president because he is a Republican. Democracy isn't working properly if it puts non-leftists in power, left-wingers reason, so all GOP chief executives must be vigorously opposed.
Commie agitprop director Michael Moore is encouraging angry left-wing mobs to come to Washington, D.C., and riot in the streets of the nation's capital on Inauguration Day in an effort to prevent or at least cast a shadow over Trump's assumption of the powers of the presidency. The idea is to do as much damage as possible to Trump before he even gets sworn in.
Selective recounts in states Trump won aren't yielding election-changing results so now Electoral College members pledged to vote for Trump are being besieged by angry radicals who are threatening them with death if they vote for Trump on the appointed day Dec. 19. Corrupt partisan shills like Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta, former head of the George Soros-funded Center for American Progress, are demanding that presidential electors be burdened with unprecedented, utterly inappropriate intelligence briefings before they vote.
Left-wing Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) openly embraces an Electoral College coup against Trump, calling him a "potentially dangerous president" who is "not only unqualified to be president, he's a danger to the republic."
After recounts and threatening electors, paranoid fear-mongering about Russia is the Left's fallback position.
And more than a few Republicans are playing along with the Left.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-Wisc.) both lined upbehind the deeply dysfunctional Central Intelligence Agency, which is home to plenty of left-wing Democrats, chief among them being CIA Director John Brennan. The ultra-politically correct Brennan, who steadfastly covers up for Islamofascism, has admitted to voting for the Communist Party's presidential candidate in 1976, an acknowledgement that ought to have instantly and permanently disqualified him as CIA chief.
McConnell said Monday he had the "highest confidence" in U.S. intelligence agencies and Ryan praised those same agencies for "working diligently" to combat cyber attacks from abroad. Trump haters Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) joined incoming Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.) in calling for a congressional investigation into the alleged Russian hacking.
President Obama clownishly weighed in Monday night, announcing on "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah" that he has called for a full review of the evidence of Russian hacking "to prevent this kind of interference from having an impact on elections in the future."
President-elect Trump himself dismisses the allegations as "ridiculous," accusing the Democrats of fabricating the claim to explain the stunning electoral shellacking their party received in Nov. 8 elections.
"I don't believe it," he told Chris Wallace of Fox News Channel. "I think it's just another excuse."
Yet Americans keep hearing from the mainstream media that unnamed sources in the intelligence community say this alleged Russian-led pro-Trump computer hacking happened during the recent election cycle. This is exactly how intelligence agencies disseminate lies and cover stories.
In an emperor-wears-no-clothes moment, press releases are being blasted out saying that all 17 U.S. intelligence agencies agree that Russia set out to hurt Hillary Clinton's campaign, but nobody is willing to go on the record with what they actually know.
So there is no publicly available evidence whatsoever that Russians engaged in cyberwarfare specifically in an effort to have an impact on the U.S. election. All we have so far are unproven claims about actions and presumed intent made by figures in the U.S. intelligence community. The Russians may have participated in hacking against U.S. targets but it isn't clear why they did so or if they acquired anything useful.
And as press time neared Monday night, Reuters reported that the agency that oversees those 17 U.S. spy agencies has not endorsed the CIA-backed theory that Russian hackers intervened to help Trump's campaign.
While the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) does not doubt the CIA's analysis of Russian hacking operations, it is withholding its approval of the assessment "because of a lack of conclusive evidence that Moscow intended to boost Trump over Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton, said the officials, who declined to be named."
The Reuters article continued:
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, whose evidentiary standards require it to make cases that can stand up in court, declined to accept the CIA's analysis – a deductive assessment of the available intelligence – for the same reason, the three officials said.
There is good reason to be skeptical of the CIA's findings.
This is the CIA of Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame and traitor Aldrich Ames.
This is the CIA that failed to notice in the late 1980s and early 1990s that the economically sclerotic Soviet Union was disintegrating.
"The CIA failed in its single, overriding defining mission, which was to chart the course of Soviet affairs," the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.) observed in 1992.
During the Cold War the CIA was penetrated repeatedly by Warsaw Pact intelligence agencies which supplied false intelligence to American decision-makers for years.
The agency "bucked the law of averages by recruiting double agents on an industrial scale; it was hoodwinked not a few but many times," according to Benjamin B. Fischer, the CIA's former chief historian. "The result was a massive but largely ignored intelligence failure" that allowed double agents to spread disinformation and "wreaked havoc" on the agency.
CIA officials have been criticized as incompetent, overly bureaucratic, and resistant to change for years.
Bill Gertz writes at the Washington Free Beacon that:
Critics have charged the agency with harboring an aversion to counterintelligence—the practice of countering foreign spies and the vetting of the legitimacy of both agents and career officers. Beginning in the 1970s, many in the CIA criticized counter-spying, which often involved questioning the loyalties of intelligence personnel, as "sickthink."
The agency's ability to discern false agents turned deadly in 2009 when a Jordanian recruit pretending to work for CIA killed a group of seven CIA officers and contractors in a suicide bombing at a camp in Afghanistan.
More than four dozen CIA recruits over a 40-year period worked secretly for Communist Cuba and provided disinformation to the CIA.
"In East Germany, all the recruited CIA agents working there were found to be double-agents working secretly for the Ministry of State Security spy service, also known as the Stasi," Gertz wrote.
The CIA reportedly didn't know the Berlin Wall was being planned in 1961 until the East Germans started building it and learned in 1989 that it was being torn down by watching cable television.
So the CIA is far from perfect and it is filled with people who don't want change to come to the intelligence community.
And it needs to be noted that after such a tumultuous campaign, it's easy to forget who took the lead in making a false connection between Trump and the Russians to begin with.
It's a Big Lie originated by NBC reporter Katy Tur during the DNC convention in Philadelphia and then vigorously promoted by the New York Times and CNN.
Recall that Clinton admitted to grabbing some 66,000 emails and then returning about half of them which she claimed didn't touch upon personal matters. She said those personal emails were deleted.
At the July 27 press conference, Trump, half-jokingly, urged the Russians to hand over those supposedly personal emails. "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing," Trump said. He added sarcastically: "I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press."
A few minutes later Tur used a loaded question to introduce into the media ecosystem the lie that Trump had invited Russia to engage in cyberwarfare.
"Do you have any qualms about asking a foreign government — Russia, China, anybody — to interfere, to hack into the system of anybody in this country?"
"Hey, you know what gives me more pause, that a person in our government, crooked Hillary Clinton — here's what gives me more pause," Trump said, as Tur tried to sneak in follow-up questions.
Be quiet, I know you want to, you know, save her. That a person in our government, Katy, would delete or get rid of 33,000 emails. That gives me a big problem. After she gets a subpoena. She gets subpoenaed, and she gets rid of 33,000 emails. That gives me a problem. Now, if Russia or China or any other country has those emails, I mean to be honest with you, I'd love to see them.
A few minutes after the press conference, Trump restated on Twitter his point about the e-mails: "If Russia or any other country or person has Hillary Clinton's 33,000 illegally deleted e-mails, perhaps they should share them with the FBI!"
But almost immediately after the comments were made at the media event the New York Times lied on Twitter, writing: "Donald J. Trump called on Russia to hack Hillary Clinton's email, essentially sanctioning a foreign power's cyberspying."
As Mark Twain said, "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
And so Katy Tur's Big Lie was engraved in deep relief into the Left's narrative, allowing it be repeated over and over again and hardening into fact in the eyes of the mainstream media.
Now this lie is being used by Democrats, Never Trump Republicans, and the media to undermine the legitimate victor in the presidential contest.
And this is only the beginning.

PD Editorial: Banning new gas pumps won't reduce emissions
News item: Sonoma County and six local cities are weighing whether to follow Petaluma's lead and ban new gas pumps|
Editorials represent the views of The Press Democrat editorial board and The Press Democrat as an institution. The editorial board and the newsroom operate separately and independently of one another.
News item: Sonoma County and six local cities are weighing whether to follow Petaluma's lead and ban new gas pumps.
"This is a really important signal that we are transitioning away from the internal combustion era and into the future," Supervisor Lynda Hopkins told Staff Writer Mary Callahan.
Yes, even oil companies have largely stopped denying that burning fossil fuel is the primary cause of climate change, and a transition to renewable energy has begun. California and at least four other states will end sales of new gas-powered motor vehicles by 2035. Sales of zero-emission vehicles are surging, and automakers are introducing electric versions of sports cars, pickups and other popular models — even the Mustang, Ford's trademark muscle car — to meet anticipated demand.
But gas-powered cars will be on the road for a long time — probably for years after the last new one is sold — and motorists will need places to buy fuel.
While prices for electric vehicles are falling, it's likely that the last converts will include those least able to afford a new car, however it may be powered.
Moreover, forcing people to drive farther for gas burns more fuel, if only marginally.
But if your car runs on gas, don't fret: Local laws prohibiting new or expanded gas stations won't stop anyone from filling up anytime in the foreseeable future.
Indeed, a staff analysis prepared last year, before the Petaluma City Council enacted its first-in-the-nation ban on new gas stations, determined that every local resident lived within a five-minute drive of an existing station. That's almost certainly true in Sonoma County's other cities, though not in many rural areas.
We share local officials' commitment to combating climate change, but there must be more effective ways to reduce carbon emissions.
Here's one possibility: Idling cars are a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, not to mention a waste of costly fuel. Yet local traffic lights are poorly synchronized, creating their own stop-and-go situations at otherwise deserted intersections, especially during noncommute hours.
Meanwhile, new drive-thru lanes for coffee and fast food are popping up all over the county, followed by motorists lining up for a vegan burger or an iced latte with soy milk. Is this small convenience worth the added emissions?
Here's another idea: Enforcing speed limits — or even persuading drivers to ease off the gas a little bit — would reduce fuel consumption and, in turn, carbon emissions.
If talk radio's reaction to Petaluma's ordinance is any measure, banning new gas stations is great fodder for an American tradition — bickering. But the law of supply and demand already is changing the landscape. Between 1994 and 2013, as vehicles became more fuel-efficient and urban real estate became more expensive, the number of gas stations in the United States declined by a quarter.
Sonoma County has seen a handful of recent proposals to build new gas stations or add pumps at existing locations. But drive around and you can see many old gas stations that have been converted to other purposes, even a bagel shop.
With higher gas prices, stricter fuel economy standards and more plentiful (and more affordable) zero-emission vehicles, more gas stations will close, with or without government intervention. Banning new pumps now may pack a symbolic punch, but it leaves the hard work of cutting emissions for another day.

Q: ¿Cómo enviar email con php cada cierto determinado tiempo? Tengo un bucle for que envía una cierta cantidad de correros, pero me gustaría saber como hacer para que ese bucle for envíe los correos en una escala determinada de tiempo:
<?php

$a = 1;

for($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
  $destinatario = "magodiesan@gmail.com";
  $asunto = "Hola Diesan";
  $cuerpo = "Como estas?";
  mail($destinatario,$asunto,$cuerpo);
  echo "
Correos enviados
";
}

?>

Se me ocurre hacerlo con el setInvertal() de javascript, pero no sé como integrarlo. No se mucho php, y este script lo necesito para algo sencillo de una sola vez.

A: Si quieres hacerlo en PHP desde el lado del servidor, simplemente puedes utilizar la función Sleep.
<?php

$a = 1;

for($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
  $destinatario = "magodiesan@gmail.com";
  $asunto = "Hola Diesan";
  $cuerpo = "Como estas?";
  mail($destinatario,$asunto,$cuerpo);
  echo "
Correos enviados
";
  // Duerme el programa 5 segundos, luego continúa
  sleep(5);
}

?>

Si quieres que la llamada se realice desde js/jquery en el lado del cliente, como bien dices deberías usar setInterval y una llamada Ajax, en caso de que quieras mantener la ejecución asíncrona.

A: Puedes hacerlo utilizando setInterval() y JQuery. El proceso es llamar a tu función php desde js a través de JQuery con $.get. El servidor ejecutará la función con el for enviando los correos.
Por ejemplo:
JS:
    setInterval(function(){
        $.get('server.php', function(response){
            alert("Respuesta: " + response);
        });
    }, 3000);

PHP (server.php):
$i = 1;

for($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
 //$destinatario = "magodiesan@gmail.com";
 //$asunto = "Hola Diesan";
 //$cuerpo = "Como estas?";
 //mail($destinatario,$asunto,$cuerpo);
 echo $i."correos enviados...";
}

Si probás este ejemplo, cada 3000 miliseg. se ejecuta el for en el servidor y obtienes como respuesta:
Respuesta:  1correos enviados...2correos enviados...3correos
enviados...4correos enviados...5correos enviados...6correos
enviados...7correos enviados...8correos enviados...9correos
enviados...10correos enviados...


eTA, being Turkey's new generation electronic transportation network, took significant steps for growth in 2015. Gaining 1000 new member customers and 5000 new member truck drivers, eTA increased its work volume by 3 times in 2015.
Unveiled by Borusan Lojistik and serving as a bridge between Small and Medium Size Enterprises and truck drivers for transportation business, eTA increased the number of customers in 2015 and increased its turnover up to TL 15.5 million by offering regular jobs to its 17000 member truck drivers. Providing corporate services to SMEs with cost advantage for their logistic needs and supporting them to achieve the optimum logistic costs, eTA also achieved to satisfy transportation needs of its 4500 member customers with timely vehicle provision by 95%. The evaluation surveys proved that satisfaction achieved for 16000 transportations has been by 96%. In order to ensure the sustainability of this achievement, eTA insures all carriages and optimizes the service quality by tracing the trucks 24/7 thanks to the technological investments.
Taking important steps to make the lives of of SME and truck drivers easier in 2015, eTA renewed its website etasimacilik.com to accord with customer expectations and simplified membership procedures. It also allows users to request quote without login as well as to get the opportunities thanks to "eTA-Puan" customer loyalty program. With the mobile application that started to appear on app stores in August 2015, eTA truck driver members were able to have mobile access to job opportunities at any time, anwyhere.
"We consider 2015 as an important period for the growth and development of eTA and we intend to grow further in 2016. We are making plans and undertaking activities to create more benefit to truck drivers, who are both our customers and suppliers, to increase the job volume by 4 times, to reinforce the systemic infrastructure in doing so, to offer easier options to our customers through mobile apps, and to make sure truck drivers enjoy the advantages of working with eTA to the maximum extent. Standing out as a new approach to the traditional transportation business, we believe that eTA's achieving higher volumes will also play an important role for electronic transformation of the logistic industry."


County Administrator Larry Kleindl received notice late Thursday afternoon from Consolidated Telecommunications Co. CEO Kevin Larson that the Brainerd company intends to pull out of the project.
In a signed letter sent via email, Larson said the "lack of sufficient future broadband subscribers financially committed to the project" led the company's board of directors to decide not to accept a $4.9 million state grant that was a key piece of the $10 million project, which would also have included $5 million in county-backed tax abatement bonds.
"Proceeding with the project would not be financially responsible for our Cooperative," Larson wrote.
Kleindl said he was caught off-guard by the company's decision.
Despite the bleak announcement from Consolidated Telecommunications Co., Kleindl and [Representative] Baker said they are not ready to give up and will pursue negotiations in hopes of still reaching a positive resolution.
