Zoom Vows to Offer End-to-End Encryption to All Users; Not Just Paid Ones
Anmol Sachdeva - Last Updated: June 18, 2020 10:53 am
Zoom announced its plan to implement end-to-end encryption for video calls back in April earlier this year, post a ton of backlash from privacy enthusiasts. The company has since been advocating that it will only provide AES 256 GCM encryption to paid users – leaving its free tier users high and dry. However, Zoom has today announced that it has figured out how to enable end-to-end encryption for all users.
In an official blog post, Zoom CEO Eric Yuan says, "we have identified a path forward that balances the legitimate right of all users to privacy and the safety of users on our platform." Users who use the video conferencing tool at no charge (Basic tier) will soon need to verify their phone number to get access to end-to-end encryption (E2EE).
This will be a one-time verification process, enabling Zoom to further reduce abuse on its platform. But, it's a rather small price to pay for the privacy of your video calls and webinars. It does mean that Zoom will now have your mobile number in its database. The company has updated its E2EE design on GitHub and you can check it out right here.
Previously, Zoom had decided not to offer end-to-end encryption to free users to curb misuse and hold users responsible for malicious activity. The company talked about its plan to support FBI and law enforcement agencies, offering them access to video calls made by free tier users, if the platform was used for bad purposes.
Other points to keep in mind are those account administrators will have the "option to enable and disable E2EE at the account and group level." The encryption also limits a few meeting-specific features, so it will be optional but available to all. Zoom intends to start testing end-to-end encryption for its video conferencing tool in July.

What Makes Trademark Factory® Different From Everyone Else?
Pay nothing to find out your brand is problematic or unregistrable.
How will you know if your brand is trademarkable?
Or would you rather see a professional opinion about the chances of your brand going through?
Yes, you can use free trademark search tools to check if someone had trademarked your brand.
But do you really know what to search for?
Or how to interpret search results?
Our specialists have done thousands of trademark searches and prepared thousands of opinions.
We analyze several factors to decide if your brand is worth pursuing. We check if the Trademarks Office might reject your trademark for formal reasons. We analyze all look-alike, sound-alike, and mean-alike trademarks and pending applications.
Our registrability opinion is included with each of our packages.
And if we find that your trademark is problematic, you can get all your money back. No questions asked.
No billable hours. One fee from start to finish. You will never see another invoice from us.
Trademark registration is a complex multi-step process that can often be quite unpredictable.
But trademarking fees don't have to.
As a business owner, all you care about is the final result.
Why pay for each step separately?
Each of our packages covers everything from start to finish for straightforward applications.
From comprehensive search to mailing you the certificate in a custom frame.
Looking for a single flat fee to cover even the most complex scenarios?
Choose our ALL-INCLUSIVE and ULTIMATE packages-and forget about attorneys' hourly fees.
Get all your money if the trademarks office refuses to register a trademark we told you were registrable.
If we tell you we can register your trademark—and the Trademarks Office rejects it, you get a full refund.
You get back everything you paid us—to a penny.
No "we spent so much time working on your file" nonsense.
No credit card processing deductions.
It's a straight-out 100% money-back guarantee.
Get your brand trademarked by someone who actually cares about your success.
Our mission is to create 1,000 success stories of growth-minded entrepreneurs whose lives were transformed because they trademarked their brands with Trademark Factory®.
Whether it's about you being acquired by a 9-figure giant, seeing your early idea become a household name, or helping defend your startup's brand against a multinational corporation—we are in the trademarking business because we admire success. Your success.
Trademark Factory® was founded in 2013 by Andrei Mincov, whose career as an intellectual property lawyer began when his father, a famous Russian composer Mark Minkov, caught a radio station stealing his music. While still a student, Andrei filed a lawsuit against the station, had to take it all the way to one level below the Supreme Court of Russia—and won!
By now, Andrei and his team have helped thousands of entrepreneurs and companies protect their intellectual property. But since day one it has always been more than just a way to make a good living. It's always been personal.
When you choose Trademark Factory® to trademark your brands, you don't become a client.
What are you actually protecting when you trademark your brand?
It's about both credibility in your own eyes and in the eyes of others.
Dozens of our clients have told us something magical happened when they received their framed trademark registration certificates from us. They said it was something tangible that validated in their mind that they owned a business, not a hobby.
When you trademark your brand, you send the message to your clients, your shareholders, your investors, your bankers, and your competitors that you're serious about your business. Trademarking process takes a long time, and if you weren't serious, you wouldn't bother getting your brand trademarked.
It's a fact. Many business owners, with their skills and knowledge, would be making more if they shut down their business and got a job.
But they persevere. They work long hours. They do whatever it takes.
Because they know they offer something of value to the world. They know that what they do, they way they do it, will help a lot of people.
They want to be remembered under the brand they came up with for all the good things they've done for all the people they've helped.
Jeff Bezos knows a thing or two about making competition irrelevant.
If you build a business that's worth something, your brand will be one of your most valuable assets.
Trademarking it accomplishes two things.
It acts as insurance against unscrupulous competitors who might otherwise try to rip you off with impunity.
It also acts as a bank vault for storing something of value that can later be sold, franchised, or licensed to others.
* Success rate is calculated as percentage of trademarks filed minus trademarks refused.
Applications voluntarily abandoned by clients do not count towards refused trademarks.
To trademark my name is a personal matter; it is not a university issue, but to take measures to protect my name and the success it has brought, and in order to prevent people from using my name inappropriately in products.
When we wanted to go out and do the 'Hottest Show On Earth' tour, Ringling Bros. came to us and said, 'You can't do that.' So, when I came up with this idea [for the name "End Of The Road"], I thought let's make sure we tie this up. I wanted to be sure that we own it and it's ours.
Although I own the trademark to "FaceCash", I want to protect my ability to use the word "face" in future products. If Facebook gets the trademark for the word "Face," that could spell trouble for FaceCash. I also want to make sure Facebook won't go after me. Given it's track record of vigorously defending its trademarks (which it is encouraged to do by the law or else risk losing them), that could become a very real possibility.
To legally protect my brand, I trademarked every one of my companies and their many subsidiaries, and my legal team actively pursues those who infringe upon my trademarks.
I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go to thermonuclear war on this.
I am happy that the Supreme People's Court has recognized the right to protect my name through its ruling in the trademark cases. Chinese consumers deserve to know that Qiaodan Sports and its products have no connection to me. Nothing is more important than protecting your own name, and today's decision shows the importance of that principle.
Trademark counterfeiting hurts all New Yorkers. It deceives consumers, it costs the City billions of dollars in lost tax revenue and it puts the safety of our residents in jeopardy. Last night's seizure, and our efforts throughout the year, illustrates our dedication and commitment to putting an end to trademark counterfeiting.
A brand worth creating is a brand worth protecting. If you truly believe in your vision, message and direction, you need to take the steps to protect your brand.
I take action to protect our trademark and to protect this valuable asset that we've created and to stop people trying to profit off the backs of this company and this brand. And that's what I do, and I believe I do it properly and fairly to the best of my ability.
Simon Cowell is very serious when it comes to protecting the intellectual property of his shows. He trailblazed in the TV talent show sector and has to protect his brand.
If I could, I would trademark the air you breathe. Every breath. Yes, I would.
Your continued exploitation of 'Shop Talk' infringes 'Uninterrupted's' copyright, trademark rights and other valuable intellectual property rights in 'The Shop' and significantly damages 'Uninterrupted's' commercial prospects for 'The Shop'. I'll "be damned" if I "let someone else use" a platform I made for athletes.
I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees to secure my own name and globally recognized brand from Chinese individuals who seek to trade off my reputation. The company has been zealously protecting its valuable brand internationally for more than 20 years.
When you name the game—and I'll add, when you trademark the game—you own the game.
The well-known Mercedes-Benz logo used in the wheel center caps, an encircled three-pointed star, and which have been in force in some cases for half a century has been used conspicuously for more than 50 years and it has spent billions of dollars in advertising, the result of which has made the Mercedes-Benz marks highly recognizable to U.S. consumers.
Amazon.com Inc and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. are are confusing consumers into believing that Run-DMC endorsed their products and are trading on the goodwill associated with the name, in violation of federal trademark and New York unfair competition laws. I am seeking at least $50 million of damages from the retailers and other defendants over their alleged sale of glasses, hats, patches, T-shirts, wallets and other products that infringe the Run-DMC trademark registered in 2007.
The alternating stripes have been "iconic codes" of the house for more than 50 years. Now, in an effort to distract from its own blatant infringements, Forever 21 is attempting to attack some of Gucci's most famous and iconic trademarks. This will not deter Gucci from pursuing its own claims against Forever 21 as part of its ongoing commitment to the vigorous protection of its valuable intellectual property rights and distinctive brand identity.
Fubu had 50 patents that cost me $700,000. I never made a dime off of them because people can alter them. But you can never use the word FUBU anywhere in the world. And a universal trademark cost me $50,000 but I started off [in U.S.] with just $2,500.
A brand for a company is like a reputation for a person. You earn reputation by trying to do hard things well. When you brand yourself properly, the competition becomes irrelevant.
Trademarks are assets, so if you are in the creative industries, there is a benefit in registering your name. Quite often, you will be doing some sort of licensing arrangement with someone else. David Beckham, for example, has been doing adverts for Haig whisky, and there will be a licensing arrangement between him and the firm. A trademark is something tangible which you can can license to third parties with various terms and conditions.
Every time we think about trademarking, we start with the brand name and the logo. Those are the things that companies want to protect first. But, especially in luxury, there are other things that consumers come to recognize as a symbol or a signature for the brand that need to be protected. The red sole is the signature of the shoe. It makes sense that I wanted to protect it in every jurisdiction in the world. You need to understand that for a consumer, the red sole means something. It signals luxury, it signals quality, it's a status symbol. It signals sexiness in general.
If I was on to the last dollar, I would spend it on marketing and making the brand strong.
Within every brand is a product, but not every product is a brand.
Up to 90 minutes of responding to the first office action.
Unlimited responses to unlimited number of office actions.
Lifetime maintenance and confusion watch service.
Obtaining your trademark registration certificate and mailing it to you in a custom frame.

Showtime has ordered a third season of reality series The Real L Word. While seasons one and two focused exclusively on L.A.'s lesbian community, season three will introduce women from the New York scene while also featuring the return of key "fan favorite" cast members. "We're excited and gratified to be picking up the stories of our most beloved season 2 cast members at some truly major and life-altering junctures, and we think it's time to throw down and invite the women of New York to join in and demonstrate the claims they've lobbed at us these past few years…that New York's women have something more to say about lesbian life, something that isn't being said by our Los Angeles ladies," says creator and executive producer Ilene Chaiken. "Bring it on, Brooklyn!" Casting for new cast members will begin shortly, with production on the nine-episode third season slated to begin in Los Angeles and New York in early 2012. While The Real L Word has been a marginal ratings performer for Showtime, the renewal reaffirms the network's commitment to the LGBT community which has had strong ties to Showtime going back to the days of Queer As Folk and The L Word.

It was quite interesting to be aware of difference of age groups and how to target them and planning the lessons. How to create the learning environment was also very helpful for future lesson. Many of these things were never concerned into the lesson plan before. I'm exciting to teach children yet am nervous about it, yet this lesson gave some idea of how to focus into the lesson plan.In this unit, I learnt about the teaching materials, for a inexperienced teacher, maybe for the start period, we will rely on the course book, which is tried and used for many time, but when we getting experienced, we can add in some authentic materials or do some supplementary creation for the course book, that will make our class more interesting and motive student when studying English.

WORK ON FLYNN'S ROAD
Over the past number of weeks, we have highlighted the wonderful work John, our CE worker, has been doing on Flynn's Road. It has made a very noticeable difference. This week a further 3 tonne bags of weeds were collected from here.
An Caislean Residents Association sent a lovely message commending John and his work. It was very much appreciated.
KIND GESTURE
We in Ballincollig Tidy Towns are extremely grateful to John O'Donovan of O'Donovan Agri Group who very kindly gave us two road signs. These will be invaluable to us going forward as part of Health and Safety that has to be in place as we carry out various projects.
YOUR CARDS ARE MARKED
To the person who dumped three bags of their garden waste cuttings, mostly ivy, at the collection point in the car park on Sunday morning last……your cards are marked.
This collection point is designated for Ballincollig Tidy Towns Volunteers to drop off the bags filled from their Litter Picks. These are then collected and taken to the Allotment for sorting.
Our Volunteers and Workers have more than enough to be doing disposing of the waste they gather from around Ballincollig.
Would you not think if you're going to all the trouble of making your way to the car park and shamelessly dumping your garden waste for others to deal with that you would spend that time disposing of it yourself in the proper manner.
Perhaps you would like to become a Volunteer and see the extent of the work BTT does with regard to litter alone. Maybe then you would think twice before doing so again.
Please keep in mind that there are plenty of CCTV cameras in the area and you could quite easily be identified and receive a fine for littering.
AND SO, TO PHASE 3
This week we welcomed the start of Phase 3 and all that comes with it. However much we want to return to normal, we all HAVE to remain vigilant and adhere to what is being asked of us. This is probably the most important phase so far as this allows most people return to work and most of us to return to some form of socializing in groups. The success or failure of this phase will determine whether or not the final people waiting to return to their jobs can do so and ultimately how we, as a country continue to go forward from here. We are now being asked not to travel abroad to other countries just for the duration. As it is, once travel around Europe reopens, there will be an influx of visitors to Ireland and this alone could cause another spike here which we most certainly do not want.
It is exciting being able to go shopping and eat out, in some places quite literally, very continental. It all looks very positive. Businesses have done everything they can to ensure that your safety and that of their staff takes precedence. When all is said and done, it is down to us as individuals to take every precaution to protect ourselves.
FUN BY THE RIVER
This Saturday 4th July is the first of the three small events being organised on the first Saturday of the next three months. Each of the Saturdays will be in a different area near the river.
The hope is to make the selected areas nicer, increase our connection to the river, have fun and get together with other people who might be able to encourage more activity along the river.
Saturday 4th July from 10am to noon
Gather at the car park at Inniscarra graveyard at 10am and do a Litter Pick along the river and around Inniscarra cemetery for half an hour
From 10.30am do a Chalk Art activity for the kids (and adults)
From 11am join a conversation with Pat O'Callaghan from Inniscarra Historical Association about the cemetery and old abbey
If anyone has questions, they can contact Mary on venables.mary@gmail.com
Please come out and support.
Ballincollig Tidy Towns is delighted with these planned events and has organized litter pickers, gloves and black bags. BTT will also collect the filled bags.
A RARE FIND
On Sunday last while walking in Ballincollig Regional Park Dr Tom Doyle a Lecturer in Zoology at University College Cork spotted the striking 'Common broomrape'. It looks like an orchid, and is about 30 cm tall. It is a parasitic plant that feeds on the roots of other plants. Amazingly, as a plant, it has no chlorophyll or green leaves. There are only 11 recorded findings of this plant in Ireland this year (according to NBDC), so this is a great find in the Regional Park! Also found were some 'spotted orchids' in one of the meadows, which are thankfully unmowed. The meadows were full of animal life too. He saw several ringlet butterflies, a common blue butterfly and also 100s of grasshoppers all chirping at each other. He will be reporting his findings to Biodiversity Ireland so they can be recorded and we also encourage people to report any unusual findings on this link https://www.biodiversityireland.ie/
The rain was back with a vengeance last week which helped replenish the Water Harvesting tanks. Because of the rain "The Waterboys" watered for two hours on Thursday night of last week. All planters and window boxes were watered. They only used 450 litres of water which is one of the smallest amounts we have ever used.
The heavy rain caused some damage to plants but these will be tended to by our 'Dead Heading Team'. On Monday night they spent two and a half hours watering and used 1,300 litres of water. Tuesday night the two Pats were out again and they both spent one and a quarter hours watering Fr. Sexton Park, Station Road, St. Mary & St. John's and Aldi. Aldi took almost 600 litres.
LITTER PICKS
As Ballincollig Tidy Towns has not officially resumed 'normal' activities, our Volunteers continue to do daily Litter Picks in their own areas and on the Main Street. The work they are doing is invaluable. We are extremely grateful to them.
The numbers of bags were in line with other weeks but again litter from some of the Fast Food outlets was prevalent which is very disappointing.

Sweet Summertime in a Glass!
TreeShaker is a mild peach beer. Muddy Creek has never been big on "over-fruiting" the beer and you'll find that we've stuck with that formula with TreeShaker. You'll get a nice and light air of peaches in the nose and that comes through gently in the flavor, but as we try to do with all our fruit beers, everything is subdued and mild. As the summer heat builds and the days get longer, you may find that you enjoy a cool sip of TreeShaker as you wind down and take in some music. Perhaps some Steve Miller?

What is the reason that the boxes can not be sorted? Is there a CSS issue maybe?

A: Try to add flex to your row, it might solve your problem.
.container > .row{
  display:flex;
  flex-direction:row-reverse;
  justify-content:start;
}

Our global food and agriculture system is in the midst of unprecedented change. World population growth has accelerated, rising from 2.5 billion in 1950, to 6 billion in 2000, to a projected 9 billion by 2050, putting the world's food and agriculture system capacity under increasing stress. At the same time, globalization and the development of emerging markets have produced a burgeoning global middle class with more disposable income. Adding to the complex, fluid environment, climate change threatens to disrupt the global and local food supply chains.
All of these factors will contribute to a dramatic and sustained increase of agricultural exports of all kinds—including commodities and processed foods—to global markets.
Illinois has the history and the expertise to thrive in this new era of food and agriculture. Our state is at the center of the Midwest, one of the world's most fertile and productive regions, and is home to Chicago, one of the world's top global cities and a hub for trade.
The Chicago metropolitan area, with more than 9 million consumers, is also a strong market driver of enterprise and innovation around local and resilient food systems and a partner for the state in developing the technologies and business models to address new consumer expectations and evolving regulatory standards.
Illinoisans, like others around the United States and the world, are focused on the nutrition, safety, and sustainability of the food they eat. They view the food and agriculture system as a vital component of the fabric of successful rural and urban communities.
Historically, Illinois has long been a leader in food and agriculture. However, the state cannot rest on its impressive laurels. The evolution in the global food and agriculture system will require coordinated leadership to foster new understanding, new approaches, and new cooperation if Illinois is to not only remain competitive but also seize the reins and lead that change.


This presentation aims to demystify the complex phenomenon of microaggressions, particularly as they occur in creating inclusive communities. Ultimately, the goal of this presentation is to empower attendees to begin engaging their respective communities in these challenging, yet important dialogues. As a result, attendees will have an increased awareness of respectful language and behavior as well as strategies to promote environments where community members can be open and engaged to encountering differences across cultural experiences.

first and foremost May Allah subhana wa tada bless all of us in the entire oma on the first moharram of the year 1443. This is our new year, our new hedgy year we make to Allah to Allah subhanho wa Taala, to allow this year to be a year of happiness in the year of peace and a year of lifting of the COVID crisis and the year of return to normalcy. And the year is for the Islam and the Muslims in the year of protection for all that are persecuted from the Uyghurs and from our Syrian brothers and sisters and the Burmese and what is happening at Ivana Stan, and all the places we want to have peace and security, because today is the first time how wrong it is useful to remind ourselves of
the reality of the hedgy calendar, where it came from and some minor issues about this insha Allah, Allah miscellaneous thoughts is going to be a bit unstructured today insha Allah. The first issue, of course, is where did this calendar come from? We're all familiar that in the 16th year of the Hydra, there was no hijiri calendar, and urban on the photographer, the rhodiola. One had to settle a court case where two people were arguing, and the contract said you have to return the money in shadowbanned. And the guy said, No, this is next Siobhan and the other guy said, No, this was the previous Shaban that went by. It didn't have a year. So I'm going to realize we need a calendar like
the Persians have a calendar and like the Romans have a calendar, okay? They understood that for a civilization to come, you had to have some independent realities of your own. You cannot be linked to other civilizations. This is the reality of any great civilization so that we needed our own calendar, another 30 years would come and Abdul Malik even more one realize we need our own currency. We cannot work with the currencies of the Romans and the Persians. So he minted the first oma yet currency. So the point being we needed our own civilization. So we're going to the hotdog realize we need our own calendar. So he called the Sahaba. And he said, What should we do? We need
to have our own years now What did the Quraysh do before the coming of the Hijri calendar? How did they mark the years, the holidays were of course not a global civilization, they were a small regional tribe, and the Arabs would mark the years like
uncultured civilizations, which is an incident would become the year something major happens, then you will say that is the year of the elephant and will feel that is the year of the peace treaty of the such and such that is the year of how to boil fauja whatever might be the became the year and if nothing happened one year, they will say one year after horrible failure, okay, two years before amyl field. So every few years, as you grow up organically, you begin to memorize the dates based upon a major occurrence. So in your lifetime, 1015 major occurrences plus or minus a few you have your years you get the point, right. That's how the calendar system was pre Islam. So very
rudimentary system, which is what we expect for a rudimentary peoples like the kurush and like to pre Islamic Arabs. Now, Islam is becoming a civilization we need to incorporate we need to have independence. So I'm gonna go hop over the last one calls the Sahaba in the masjid of the Prophet system, what should we do? They said, Yes, we need our own independent calendar. We cannot follow the Romans and the Persians. We should have our own. Okay, when should we begin? Multiple suggestions, once a Hobie said with the birth of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam another Sahabi said, with the beginning of the dour when the Islam began to be preached, okay, coming down.
And it is said that a little deal law one who said we should begin the calendar from the year of the hijra, because this is one How can barter were separated. And this is when it was manifested in the oma and Obama hardtop said yes, that is the date we should do. The hegira is what separated the time of Yanni stress and the time of humiliate not humiliation is a harsh word. But you know, the time of oppression is a better word right versus the time of public reserved. That's the clear cut distinction. in Makkah, you are oppressed in Makkah, you cannot be public. in Medina, you have your own independence. So this is the beginning of our calendar. So they unanimously decided that is
going to be from the hijiri year. And by the way, it's interesting to note, they're even thinking maybe the birth of the Prophet system. They're thinking, you know, the beginning of the doubt, these were suggestions that were debated, but then eventually they decided this was in the 16th year so in reality
The history calendar was instituted in the 17th year and they back projected the 17. You get the point right? For the first 17. There was no history calendar in the 17th year of the hedgerow. This is one day back projected. Okay, you have the year, the year is going to be the year of the hedgerow. Which month should we begin the calendar because before the history calendar, there was no system of the beginning month, it's just a continuous 12 months all the time back and forth. And by the way, pre Islam, they would swap the month. This is another pre Islamic custom that the Koran mentions, and the Prophet system forbade this right? If they didn't like a month or you know, the,
the four months of the season of non fighting the national hero, if they wanted to wage war, there was you Okay, actually, it's no longer a third. Hey, Jenna, we'll just pretend that is suffer right now. They'll swap it just imaginary, you know, and they will do this, the Koran came and forbade it and said, No, you're going to keep it as it is in the shoulder. And Allah has an eye shadow and is in Surah tober. So 12 months was there, but there was no first month, there was no first month, it's a perpetual cycle. Now that you're going to have a calendar, you need a first month as well. So then the second discussion began, which month should be the first month, the most obvious candidate was
Ramadan. And Ramadan was discussed, and Ramadan was almost close to adoption. But then it is said either with money been a fan or I'm gonna have a hot tub. So the calendar, it comes from Adi rhodiola. One and earthman and Omar, and then the Sahaba. All of them unanimously agree, but the main minds of it are these three that are doing the soap, then the suggestion came, actually, and actually, there's also suggestion of Roger, believe it or not, there was a suggestion or a beer And oh, by the way, Mr. Malik 160 years later, no 150 years later, would say that it should have been, it should have been rebutted. Oh, well, Mr. Malik's opinion was that they should have chosen a
beard. Oh, well, why are a beard? Oh, well, not why most of you think why that's not the reason why Mr. Malik said because it was the month of the Hydra. The Hydra actually occurred and revered Oh, by the way, so common misconception, especially amongst our youth, that the hedgerow occurred, and we'll have it on, because it's our first month. So the assumption then comes it is in Muharram. No, this is a false assumption. No scholar actually said this, the hedgerow occurred and rubbish. And oh, well, this is the explicit
testimony of the books of Hadith. Ibn is how they've been a sham and walk through the insides and stuff of what they all mentioned the hedgerow occurred in the month of Ruby and oh, well, it is well known no dispute there. So there was a position of greater audit was basically not adopted and Mr. Malik wished they had a Dr. Bill Oh, well, for the first month, because if you want to do it the way the Hydra, then you should do it. Roberto windhager. Right. So that's when it began. Nonetheless, they began their discussion with mundo de la one or Omar or the both of them, they came to the conclusion issue to be more huddled on why more how to run. So this is the reasoning that they had,
they said, and remember, and those years, pretty much every McKee or Madani person is doing hygiene, right. So it's a regular thing. When you're there in Medina and maca, you're going to go for hygiene, the majority would go for Hajj every single year, it's close by you're not going to why would you not do your hygiene. So rather than the hot tub set, and by the way, hedge would take around two weeks to come back to from Medina. Okay, so two weeks of suffer time, not four hours and we're complaining about four hours in the bus. These days, that four or five hour journey, we find it difficult, okay in air conditioned sitting on coaches, and we get irritated at that. Can you
imagine if the Sahaba saw us and we are grumbling we have to be in Iran for four hours in this air conditioned coach sipping our teas in our juices and what not? Can you imagine walking from Mecca to Medina in two weeks journey by the way on average, right? That's how they did it. So 100 Allah Allah blessed us but he also only tested us in this regard. So Urban hottub reasoned that look, by the time we get back from hedge, okay, we are now you know, everybody knows hedges re birth to new opportunity. So when we come back, you'll begin Muharram so it's as if every single moharram you have a new opportunity to be a better person to cleanse your sins to have a new year. So he goes no
moharram is when we come back, you know from the hedge and we start you know life again, because again, when hedge finishes you stay there a few days you come back, you're literally going to come back to Medina you know, two three days before first of Muharram and then the first time around begins so they decided to make it more haram That is why Muharram was chosen. It has nothing to do with the month of the Hydra the year of the Hydra is yes number one age by the way, for the youngsters in the audience, there is no zero ah okay, you have the first year of the hedgerow is the first year there is no zero in time you have negative one and then you have one one year before the
Hydra then one year of the Hydra, the Hydra occurred in year one, not Year Zero time is not zero unless you believe in quantum
That was a whole different case which we're definitely not going to go into Tuesday night caught that after Isha. So where was I? We're talking about the, what are we talking about? I forgot
the hedge. We finished the hedge. Muharram Okay, well, how long so how long was the month that they decided, Okay, now another scholar by the name of his Swahili, he died 850 something great alum of Sera, Sera, Sera and literature and history. So, Haley said, I have a Quranic evidence that I don't know how Papa's decision was correct. I have a Quranic evidence that yes, that should be the hijra should be the first year of the Islamic calendar. How can you have a Quranic evidence for something that's historical? This is called back projecting, like if you want to find evidence, you'll find something so he found a verse I mean, you know, he constructed an argument from the vs select a
tober, right that lemma student OC Salah, taqwa, Min awali yo Min hacohen Tahoma fee, okay. And so Haley says min a William the first day. So the verse goes that remember the process of migrated to convey the first message he built was Koba right. And then there was some tension between the magnitude of the roar of the munafo and Oba and whatnot there was some tensions. So Allah praised Koba and Allah said, the masjid you establish from the first day, that is where you should pray mini Masjid Koba, okay, so Allah says from the first day, so Haley says that means Allah intended Of course, this is a stretch but still it's interesting point that Allah intended the hit God calendar,
the first day to be the year of the of the hedgerow. So anyway, that's the story of the hedgerow. One other miscellaneous point which again, FYI, I did fight in Charlotte, and we're done.
The issue comes that Okay, I'm gonna have instituted the Hydra and we now have this, you know, civilizational calendar and whatnot. How about saying greetings and making dua and blessing the oma like I just did in the beginning of this talk, okay. Is this something that might become a beta? Or is this something that is john is an allowed? Because the Hijri calendar is not from the sooner quote unquote, right? So should we give congratulations moblog Today's the first time we're hard on New Year's Jani, our new year's and May Allah make this I just made a long day. So you already know my position because I made the job but now the question arises, okay, should we do something like
this? Or is it a religious innovation? This goes back to a much deeper topic, I have a longer lecture online, you will find it I gave it four or five years ago about the definition of Buddha. And depending on your definition of Buddha, you will then have a position based upon your definition. So there's a small group of scholars you will find there fatawa and those who read Arabic and you're on Facebook, you know, these fatawa have been floating around every single year, the same thing that you should not mention, that is the first time I've heard of them. Do not make dua for the oma do not bless anybody robotic, but do not do this. It becomes a bit. Okay. Jay, we
respect that position. Always. We respect any item that says that's their opinion. But of course, there's always alternative viewpoints. Right. And in fact, Mr. Su t 600 years ago, wrote treaties. And in it, he says in this that, you know, I was asked, should we greet one another and the beginning of the new year? And should we make dua for the beginning of the new year? So Mr. masucci, died 911 hedger, we're talking literally 500 600 foreigners 500 years ago, that he was asked this, and he quoted an alum of the Shafi school I forgot his name that was in my head somewhere who died 200 years before him. And he says share so and so Imam so and so mentioned this as well. And he said
that, giving greetings and wishing well for people at the beginning of the new year. Listen to this. It is neither Sunnah, nor VEDA. It is permissible and it's not a part of the deen
and this is the correct opinion. Okay, it can't be sooner because there was no hichy calendar at the time of the Prophet system. But it is not be there as well because Veda means you introduce a ritual that you expect to be a part of the deen and that Allah is gonna reward you for now making the offer somebody on any occasion. Is that a ritual in and of itself or is it something generic? Somebody gets a job May Allah bless you in that job. Okay, somebody gets a house May Allah bless you in that house, making a generic drop. Do you need a specific evidence to make a generic Yes or no? No, you can make a generic girl what's wrong with making a do offer and I can make do out right now when I
see you may Eliza bless you and your family. Any problem with that. So to make a drop no
This is not Allah didn't tell you on this day magdoff you know it, but it's just you want something good. And by the way, by the way, if you want it to go down this route, which is the bigger quote unquote beta making the app for your Muslim brother or sister or bringing a whole new calendar that the process of did not have, or whatever the hot tub did not view this as beta IDT to bring in a whole new calendar, he understands this is the world needs to work as dunya we know problem and it becomes religious and it becomes a sign of Islam. Right? Not everything that is dunya we is separated from religion, it becomes sometimes religion, even though it's not religious, per se. And
if you listen to my longer electron this I give it an academic lecture what is the definition it's a bit of a shout Toby's opinion, a shaeffer his opinion have been tamie his opinion have been Hydros opinion, different definitions a bit are based upon that you get different understandings. The bottom line is that wishing somebody, any generic drop on any occasion is permissible and to make dua in the beginning of the month when they get a new job in the beginning of the hedgy calendar is something good overall, it doesn't become something that is of the negative without because you are not making it into a ritual. And so with that, I once again make dua that Allah subhana wa tada
bless all of us in this year and make us all better Muslims than we were last year. And may Allah azza wa jal show us there is of Islam throughout the world may Allah azza wa jal grant peace to all those that are suffering. May Allah azza wa jal live from us this COVID crisis which is akmola, who was set on widecombe rahmatullah wa barakato.

Discover the incredible variety of molluscs in the Australian Museum collection factsheets.
Malacology, the study of molluscs, include chitons, clams, mussels, snails, sea slugs, tusk shells, octopus, and squid. Molluscs live almost everywhere - on the rocky shore, in freshwater habitats and in your garden.
Generally molluscs have:
an unsegmented, soft body
a muscular foot or tentacles
a mantle that can secrete a shell
Most, but not all, molluscs have:
an internal or external shell
a radula (tongue with teeth)
Molluscs are one of the largest animal groups with about 200,000 species worldwide. The number of species in Australia is about 15,000 with more than 2,000 known from Sydney. Sydney has an amazing diversity of molluscs, from the Little Blue Periwinkle the size of your little fingernail to the Giant Cuttlefish over 1 m long. Despite the many differences in external appearance, their internal structure is very similar. Mollusca means 'soft-bodied' and, although some have developed a tough shell, they are all soft on the inside.
Molluscs are further classified into seven major groups and Sydney has representative from five of these. The main groups found in Sydney are gastropods, bivalves, cephalopods, chitons, and also a minor group, the aplacophorans or spicule worms.
Molluscs can be found in marine, terrestrial and freshwater environments. 99% of Australian freshwater molluscs are endemic to their region, meaning they are found nowhere else on Earth.
Although extremely diverse, molluscs have some common characteristics such as a soft, unsegmented body, a muscular foot or tentacles and a mantle that can secrete a shell. Snails and slugs comprise about 70% of all mollusc species.
Most molluscs with shells produce a highly valuable and shiny object: the pearl. The most desirable pearls are natural pearls, which are formed when a small, foreign object gets stuck inside an oyster.

There's a lot of talk about so-called clean diesel, which in North America means any diesel that meets tailpipe emissions standards that went into effect seven years ago.
Those standards, known as Tier II, Bin 5, are among the strictest in the world--and considerably tougher than the European standards in force over that period.
Europe, where roughly half the new cars are sold with diesel engines (it varies considerably by country), has long been held up by diesel advocates as a model for how the U.S. could significantly reduce its fuel consumption.
DON'T MISS: Volkswagen Jetta TDI: Much More Mileage Than EPA Admits?
Diesel combustion is more efficient than gasoline combustion, as a rule, and many diesel-engined passenger vehicles prove to get higher real-world fuel economy than the ratings under U.S. EPA test regimens--often not the case for hybrid vehicles.
But only next year will Europe move to exhaust-emission standards as tough as those in the U.S. (known as the Euro 6 standard).
Meanwhile, it turns out that diesel trucks and buses cause significant air pollution in European cities.
In London, for instance, the degree of nitrous oxides in the famous Oxford Street shopping district was fully three times the maximum recommended by the EU.
More startling, the NOx levels in London were even higher than those in the legendarily awful air of Beijing, according to a report issued in July.
Paris, too, has had numerous smog alerts--we experienced one last week while attending a workshop there--and reductions in car travel as a result appear to have lowered harmful airborne emissions, at least temporarily.
The facts about European cities came in a Navigant Research blog post that looked at the role of highly-polluted city air in driving more stringent emissions regulations for vehicles and industry.
So by all means purchase a diesel vehicle if you want to get better fuel economy and make the most of your transportation dollar.
Assuming, of course, that the higher purchase cost will be offset by lower fuel expenses, and especially if you drive long distances at highway speeds.
But if you don't want to worsen the emissions in your town or travel route, just make sure it's one that was built in 2008 or later.

How can I completely uninstall Reshade? My problem is that when I undock the GPS in the default 172, the separate window turns black. I tried removing the folder, but the reshade app is still active on X-Plane 11 startup. I'm afraid I may need to reinstall X-Plane 11.
Go to the XPlane 11 folder where the EXE is located and delete the DXGI.DLL.

EP Music Mondays (#3): Deolinda
March 14, 2016 April 24, 2016 luisdomingos
If the first decades after the 25 de Abril Revolution showed a reluctance from the younger generations to embrace fado and other traditional forms of Portuguese music, the new millenium (and a new generation, removed both from the hardships of the dictatorship and the whiplash effect of the smorgasbord of new influences discovered immediately after, including the first few English-singing bands in the late 80s and 90s) saw a rediscovery and reappraisal of fado.
Contributing to that reapprasial were both young fadistas of the traditional mould reshaped their sound to incorporate new sounds and rhythms (together with a more modern, lively uptake on life which toned down the dourness of fado and brought it to the new mainstream) and the appearance of fado-inspired bands, using some of its sounds while trying to reinvent its wheels, crafting funny, quirky and uplifting portraits of daily life – if only fado didn't take itself so seriously!
Deolinda (a woman's name, emphasizing the quirky aspect of the music and its Portugalness) is the band that encapsulates the best of these impulses. Their concerns are grounded in the quotidian, but they always find an engaging way of relaying the importance of the trivial and the wisdom to be mined from such situations – including an acute awareness of social injustices creating a lighter (but no less strong) social protest songs.

Q: why cout not works before getche() in VC++ 6.0? I want to show a message before an input :
cout<<"Enter a char:";
ch = getche();

But when running program it does not show the message and getche() works and after that the message is showed !!!
The whole program :
#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

int main(){
    int ch;
    cout<<"Enter a char:";
    //cin.ignore();
    ch = getche();

    return 0;
}

The whole problem that, i want to do is this:
1- show a message
2- enter ONLY one char
3- do something immediately after entering the char

A: Adding endl soleved the problem :
cout<<"Enter a char:"<<endl;
ch = getche();


The movie's official poster calls Her "A Spike Jonze Love Story." The decidedly unofficial "honest" movie poster created by Uproxx calls it "a two-hour closeup of Joaquin Phoenix's face." More on that in a bit; for now I'd like to focus on the official tagline. Jonze (of the genre-bending—and genre-shaping—Being John Malkovich and Adaptation) is a filmmaker with an astute sense of the absurd. His films are genuinely provocative, brazenly original and bravely inquisitive, and Her, Jonze's screenwriting debut, is no exception. But the film also offers one of the loveliest romances ever to have graced the silver screen. The fact that it transpires between a man and his software only increases my admiration for the delicacy and depth of feeling packed into the relationship, a brilliant conceptual gag that proves nonetheless sincere and completely plausible. Wildly inventive, challenging and engaging, this subtly profound film follows its own quirky, amusing course. It's a melancholy, eerie love story unlike anything else you've seen this year—or ever.
In Her's opening shots, Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix in a quietly heroic, beautifully hushed performance), is making an unabashed declaration of love to an unseen beloved. The actor, as well as his character, is unaffected, sincere, disarming. We quickly discover, however, that his lovely words are not addressed to his beloved at all, that this is what Theodore does for a living; the character is a latter-day Cyrano writing heartfelt notes-for-hire at BeautifulHandwrittenLetters.com (the handwriting all computer-generated, of course). The cuteness is instantly turned to cynicism, in a movie that is both visionary and traditional, tender and cool, passionate and wispy. Like the lingering analog affection for handwriting in a digital age, Her argues for both the past and the future, with a soulfully poetic spirit that's become extremely rare in American cinema.
As demonstrated by his occupation, Theodore is acutely attuned to other people's inner feelings, writing out the most intimate thoughts that people he's never met could possibly have. He's less attuned to his own feelings. Theo's default setting, you see, is isolation. "I miss you," his only friend Amy (Amy Adams, unrecognizable from her portrayal of a self-invented sexpot swindler in David O. Russell's American Hustle) tells him. "Not the sad, mopey you. The old, fun you." The character is still getting over the breakup of his marriage to Catherine (Rooney Mara), and is in the process of falling in love with his artificially intelligent operating system, which calls itself Samantha (voiced beautifully by Scarlett Johansson, sliding from girlish squeakiness to seductive, smoky lower registers at will and creating a complex, full-bodied character without any body at all).
The peculiar triumph of the film is that this affair is seen as only mildly odd. The software enters Theodore's life almost accidentally and, like so much technology today, makes him wonder how he ever lived without it. Samantha, however, does more than reorganize Theodore's files; she also listens to him, commiserates and advises, makes him laugh, and starts to develop real emotions and something like human consciousness. The most seductive and unnerving part of this whole enterprise is that the OS can not only match the conversation, intimacy, and satisfaction of non-virtual relationships, but might even be better.
Theodore's initially promising but ultimately ill-fated blind date (with Olivia Wilde) certainly proves relationships with human beings can be more demanding and messier than anything we can channel through a handheld device, and Her has the daring to ask if it's worth it. The movie burrows deep into the give and take of relationships and the eternal dilemma of knowing one's true self, in or outside of a couple, developing into a crash course on what it means to be human, and what it means to love.
More than anything else, Her is about loneliness and about our compulsion to overcome it, about the need to connect in a digital age when we're always plugged into some device but distance ourselves from actual human interaction. The film asks the right questions, and, rightly, doesn't answer them. Does technology foster alienation, help surmount it, or—if it's even possible—both? We see people listening to headphones and responding to invisible companions all day long. Jonze just takes it one step further.
The environment of the movie is only an intriguing step or too ahead of contemporary reality. Jonze doesn't necessarily strive for scientific or cultural coherence, instead creating a beguiling cinematic world of the not-too-distant but distinctly fantastical future. The filmmaker fashions a fully imagined and constructed universe that vaguely resembles our own (in all but the efficient L.A. mass transit system), a universe of smoggy skies thick with modernistic, steel-and-glass high-rises and hazy, glittering skyscrapers. In a way, Her's setting creates a wholly positive counterpart to the recent Elysium's social and urban malaises. Jonze and his superb—and, thankfully, Oscar-nominated—production designer, K.K. Barrett, haven't quite reinvented the world, but rather ingeniously embellished ours. Everything is simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar.
Judging from the film's trailer, I was expecting it to be more like Lars and the Real Girl. I was wrong. Theo does feel a bit odd at first about his new "girlfriend," but soon discovers he is not alone. Amy is also developing a friendship with her husband's OS, and, apparently, there are thousands out there in love with theirs. The character is surrounded by solitaires, all alone together.
A more apt comparison to Her would be Michel Gondry's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, especially in its dreamy tone, offbeat romance, slight satire, stylistic flourishes, and visual panache. Hoyte Van Hoytema's muted but vividly tactile cinematography is gorgeous, made up of understated colors, mellow yellows, tranquil tangerines, and neutral tones of blue and gray peppered with flashes of bright red. All soft focus and diffused lighting, the images are infused with an ethereal, enchanted quality, and the strange, melancholy score (by Arcade Fire) casts a spell of its own.
Phoenix, perhaps the greatest of all screen enactors of exquisite isolation, here is unprecedently touching, open, and vulnerable, pulling an impressive about-face from the tortured eccentricity of his role in P.T. Anderson's The Master. With a neat moustache, horn-rimmed glasses, slumped shoulders and unflatteringly high-waisted pants, the actor paints a harmless, defeated picture, as if the solitude and agonies of this wounded, stunted soul had been drawn from some deep, unarticulated place in Phoenix's own being. But, as the two hour mark approaches, the tagline of the honest poster becomes more and more applicable. Because Theodore is in a relationship with a non-corporeal confidant, he is often the only person on screen for extended periods of time. By the end, the feeling is this beguiling concept was extended beyond its natural breaking point and spread a bit thinly throughout the sobering but surprisingly soft conclusion.
One of the biggest, most ardently burning questions of the film is only implied. In Her, machines can think, but can humans still feel? Just look around the next time you go out for dinner. How many two-, three- or four- person tables are there full of people eating "together" while staring into two, three, or four separate screens? Jonze's futuristic love story cuts to the heart of how we live now. Thankfully, when I ask Siri if she's a woman, she still tells me gender is for nouns and animals.

Very soon the search engine by Google voice won't have anything to envy to Siri or Cortana thanks to its fully intelligent our site with which we'll talk about as if it were a person, but it seems that very few people will enjoy the new Google Assistant at launch.
The application of Google Android continues to prepare for integration with Assistant, and in version 6.3 gives more information about its expected launch, giving clues about the supported languages.
The source code for the new version of Google Android includes lines of text which reported that Assistant is only available in English and German, inviting us to change the language of search to one of these two languages supported.
Seems to enjoy from Google Assistant in Spanish we have to wait longer, but hopefully that not much, because the conversational Wizard is also part essential Google Home speaker and new messaging Allo in the form of bot client.
And speaking of the speaker Google Home, We also know that the Google Android application is also preparing for home automation, to control our home also from your mobile phone, tablet or watch. The application is preparing to recognize compatible hardware for rapid configuration of devices such as Google OnHub, Google Home, Chromecast, Android TV and Nest among other products compatible with the new Google smart platform.

SpaceX to Attempt First West Coast Falcon 9 Landing on Land Today
Oct 7, 2018 08:15 PM (This post was last modified: Oct 8, 2018 02:44 AM by Yazata.)
Scheduled for a 7:21 PM PDT (10:21 PM EDT) launch from Vandenberg today. The plan is for the booster to return to a propulsive landing at Vandenberg after orbiting a pair of satellites. While these landings have become routine at Cape Canaveral, they haven't been attempted in California, mainly because a landing zone hadn't been constructed. But now one has. Prior to this, all the west coast booster recoveries have been on a SpaceX landing barge/"droneship".

The payload on this one consists of two Argentinian satellites that propose to use radar to gather soil moisture information around the Earth. (That's useful for assessing fire danger, for biological purposes and for agriculture.) The two satellites join a 'constellation' of similar satellites put up by Argentina and Italy.
Here's the new west coast landing pad (SpaceX photo):

7:07 PM PDT and the webcast is going. The narrator says that there are no issues with the booster, which is used/"flight proven" and flew previously when it launched a satellite from Vandenberg in July and landed at sea. The narrator is telling southern California that due to the launch right after sunset, the rocket's high-altitude contrail may be visible illuminated by sunlight high in the sky west of LA, Orange county and San Diego.
Space X has built its launch pad and landing pad where Titan missiles used to be launched. These were ICBMs at first, then when they became surplus they were used as space launch vehicles.
7:30 PM PDT: launch went perfectly, stage separation, boostback and entry burn by the book and then the booster stuck its landing in the middle of the SpaceX 'X' on the landing pad. Satellite is in the correct orbit and has already been deployed from the second stage.
Here's the now veteran twice-flown booster safely back on its landing pad at Vandenberg (SpaceX photo)

And it does seem to have given southern California a good light-show. People are posting lots of photos to twitter.

Here's some cool stuff from SpaceX's twitter page.
There's a little one minute (greatest-hits) video that captures the launch, staging, reentry burn and landing.
And there's a very cool just-a-few-seconds-long video that somebody shot that shows how the light show unfolded.

I think that the next time SpaceX has one of these scheduled to launch right after sunset, I'll take some binoculars and maybe a cell-phone camera, go climb a nearby hill that gives me a reasonably good view to the south and see that I can see.
I like the video showing the puffs of its maneuvering thrusters (presumably to steer itself towards the landing pad where it wanted to go):

This short video, from an LA TV reporter called Veronica Miracle (is that really her name?) appears to show the vehicle immediately after stage separation. What appears to be the second stage is accelerating to the left, while the first stage is boosting back to the right in order to return home to Vandenberg. They typically use Vandenberg to shoot satellites into polar orbit, since there is nothing but ocean southwards until you hit Antarctica. (There's lots of stuff both north and south of Cape Canaveral.) So in Veronica's video which presumably is looking westwards, the left would be south and the right north. Vandenberg is north of LA.

Makes me wonder if the "Sister" below was a relative; i.e., if the reporter was named after her. (Nah, certainly not should she be married, unless she retained her maiden name professionally.)

The best video that I've seen of this particular launch is here. It's filmed from Pismo Beach, about 30 miles north of Vandenberg. (I used to hang out a lot in Pismo Beach, back in the day. Lots of good memories...) It shows the vehicle ascending, stage separation, boost-back and the light show, the peculiar little puffs coming from the first stage's maneuvering thrusters as it maneuvers in space to aim itself at its landing pad, and finally the landing back at Vandenberg.

Mitochondrial diseases are genetic conditions affecting around 1 in 5,000 of the population of the UK. Since mitochondria are key players in the metabolism of energy, mitochondrial disorders mostly affect the organs of the body that require a great deal of energy, such as the nervous system, the heart and skeletal muscle. These disorders therefore result in severe disability and significantly reduced lifespan. However, mitochondrial diseases can present with a wide variety of symptoms, making the task of identifying the underlying causes correspondingly harder. As a consequence, it is extremely difficult to treat mitochondrial disease, or even to identify a suitable therapeutic approach.
Using new high-throughput DNA sequencing techniques we are identifying the genes and proteins involved in the group of diseases caused by defects in the mitochondrial energy-supplying (oxidative phosphorylation) pathway . Using the SILAC method of quantitative proteomics in collaboration with the Unit's Mass Spectrometry Facility, we are characterizing the molecular basis of the interactions and function of those we have identified over the last five years. These insights, along with a careful analysis of the pathological and physiological features of the conditions are providing clues that allow us to propose and test novel therapeutic strategies for this currently intractable group of diseases.
There is an urgent need for effective therapies for mitochondrial disease. We are focusing our efforts on two main strategies, resulting from our expanding knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of disease and on the pathways that control mitochondrial homeostasis: (i) activation of mitochondrial biogenesis and (ii) AAV-mediated gene replacement.

People who make highly offensive comments on social media could be forced to pay their victims compensation if a proposed new cyber bullying law is adopted.
The legislation would open the way for the Privacy Commissioner to investigate spiteful or vengeful comments on social media, something the commissioner cannot do at present.
The commissioner, John Edwards, said on Friday the proposed law change is part of a suite of other cyber bullying reforms which would give people the right to ask their internet service provider to close down offensive content and could even result in a court order to stop the behaviour.
Mr Edwards said if a victim wanted to seek damages at the end of those processes, the Privacy Commission would investigate. "If you've suffered harm a tribunal can order a respondent to pay damages for that, so it's similar to defamation."
Under the legislation, the maximum penalty would be $200,000. Mr Edwards thinks compensation cases would be quite rare.
