<tt class="docutils literal">--application-name</tt> (string)

The name of the application to associate with this configuration template. If no application is found with this name, AWS Elastic Beanstalk returns an <tt class="docutils literal">InvalidParameterValue</tt>  error.

<tt class="docutils literal">--template-name</tt> (string)

The name of the configuration template.

Constraint: This name must be unique per application.

Default: If a configuration template already exists with this name, AWS Elastic Beanstalk returns an <tt class="docutils literal">InvalidParameterValue</tt>  error.

<tt class="docutils literal">--solution-stack-name</tt> (string)

The name of the solution stack used by this configuration. The solution stack specifies the operating system, architecture, and application server for a configuration template. It determines the set of configuration options as well as the possible and default values.

Use  list-available-solution-stacks to obtain a list of available solution stacks.

A solution stack name or a source configuration parameter must be specified, otherwise AWS Elastic Beanstalk returns an <tt class="docutils literal">InvalidParameterValue</tt>  error.

If a solution stack name is not specified and the source configuration parameter is specified, AWS Elastic Beanstalk uses the same solution stack as the source configuration template.

<tt class="docutils literal">--source-configuration</tt> (structure)

If specified, AWS Elastic Beanstalk uses the configuration values from the specified configuration template to create a new configuration.

Values specified in the <tt class="docutils literal">--option-settings</tt>  parameter of this call overrides any values obtained from the <tt class="docutils literal">--source-configuration</tt>  .

If no configuration template is found, returns an <tt class="docutils literal">InvalidParameterValue</tt>  error.

Constraint: If both the solution stack name parameter and the source configuration parameters are specified, the solution stack of the source configuration template must match the specified solution stack name or else AWS Elastic Beanstalk returns an <tt class="docutils literal">InvalidParameterCombination</tt>  error.

The art of more than 200 people impacted by brain injuries are on display at the Rochester Civic Theatre.
ROCHESTER, Minn. - More than 200 painted masks hung in the Rochester Civic Theatre Black Box Thursday night for 'Celebrating Abilities: Unmasking Brain Injury in Minnesota.' Each mask is painted by Minnesotans who have brain injuries, their families, and people who work with them.
One of the artists is Terry Nevling, who painted two of the masks on display. "We were making them at the center. I just picked up a paint brush and just painted some of it," he explains.
The masks give the stories and perspectives of individuals affected by brain injuries.
Terry's father, Harry Nevling, hopes the artwork brings visibility to the brain injury community. "There's a lot of money out there that goes for disabilities but brain injury survivors are at the bottom of the list and that's unfortunate. They have the same needs as other disabled individuals so hopefully this will help point it out," he says.
The art display is put on by Ability Building Center in partnership with the Minnesota Brain Injury Alliance. Through the event and sponsors, the goal is to raise $50 thousand for ABC.

Q: Android Converting String Variable of Coordinates to Point If I am retrieving a string variable of something like this (34872.1297,41551.7292), so it would be "(34872.1297,41551.7292)", how do I convert this string variable to Point(Geolocation) ?
For example, this sets the point value, but I want the values to be retrieved
Point point = new Point(34872.1297,41551.7292);

A: What you are looking for is how to split a string, and there are a few excellent examples on SO for you to peruse.
In your case, this will work:
String yourString = "(34872.1297,41551.7292)";

// Strip out parentheses and split the string on ","
String[] items = yourString.replaceAll("[()]", "").split("\\s*,\\s*"));

// Now you have a String[] (items) with the values "34872.1297" and "41551.7292"
// Get the x and y values as Floats
Float x = Float.parseFloat(items[0]);
Float y = Float.parseFloat(items[1]);

// Do with them what you like (I think you mean LatLng instead of Point)
LatLng latLng = new LatLng(x, y);

Add checks for null values and parse exceptions etc.

A: An issue with storing the geo coordinates as a Point object is that Point actually requires the two values to be of integer type. So you would lose information.
So you could extract and type cast the coordinates to be integers (but lose information):
String geo =  "(34872.1297,41551.7292)";

// REMOVE BRACKETS, AND WHITE SPACES
geo = geo.replace(")", "");
geo = geo.replace("(", "");
geo = geo.replace(" ", "");

// SEPARATE THE LONGITUDE AND LATITUDE

Could Kyrgyzstan Cease to Exist?
VIENNA &mdash Deteriorating conditions in Kyrgyzstan and increasing evidence that the provisional government is not in control of the situation, especially in the wake of President Dmitry Medvedev's observation that Bishkek must build a new state, are leading some Russians to ask whether Kyrgyzstan as a country could cease to exist.
Tuesday's Vremya directly states that "the provisional government [in Bishkek] is beginning to lose control over the situation in the country," opening the way for actions by its opponents, including "supporters of [ousted president Kurmanbek] Bakiyev, lumpen groups and marauders" who are prepared to take what they can.
Even though there is no evidence that these groups are working together, they represent "a common flow that is striving toward one goal &mdash interfering with the former opposition that has come to power to stabilize the situation" in Kyrgyzstan, thus casting doubt on the future of that Central Asian country.
Medvedev said Tuesday that Kyrgyzstan must "revive the state" in order to be able to enter into a full partnership with Russia in economic terms, a statement that suggests he does not believe there is an effective state there now.
Some analysts have already raised questions about the survivability of Kyrgyzstan, but these are certain to generate more such discussions. One of the first to suggest that Kyrgyzstan might "cease to exist" was Alexander Knyazev, the head of the Bishkek branch of the Russian Institute of CIS Countries.
In an interview published over the weekend, Knyazev said recent events mean that "the probability that a sovereign Kyrgyzstan will cease to exist are quite high," all the more so because the current leadership in Bishkek calls itself "provisional," a description that the Russian analyst said he completely agreed with.
The reasons for that lie both with the provisional regime itself and with the Kyrgyz population. The former "consists of politicians who have been in conflict among themselves but who have temporarily made an alliance against Bakiyev. Now that he is out of the way, these divisions will reassert themselves."
And the population sees that those in office, once they have established themselves, have done little but steal fr om everyone else. Consequently, Knyazev suggests, the residents of that country views an interregnum as a chance for them to steal. Indeed, he says, it is possible to extrapolate that "thefts are the Kyrgyz curse."
Pressed by his interview about the possibility that Kyrgyzstan could cease to exist as a country, Knyazev said this "is a natural process that has been taking place since the 20th century and up to now &mdash the formation of new states and the withering away of old ones. Remember the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, Kosovo, Abkhazia and South Ossetia," he says.
"It is completely possible that the day will come when the territory of Kyrgyzstan will be converted into a source of instability in the region, and the international community will consider the question of its fragmentation" into various component parts in order to prevent the appearance of a new Balkan-type region.
How that might happen, Knyazev conceded, is far from clear. But he suggested that the countries that will play the biggest role are Kyrgyzstan's current neighbors: Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan and China, none of which is interested in "permanent instability" or "a new Afghanistan" on its borders.
Meanwhile, in Moscow, some commentators are focusing on what might precede that collapse or even trigger it &mdash the rapid outflow of tens or even hundreds of thousands of ethnic Russians or other Slavic groups. Moscow must be prepared for this, such writers say, and even take steps to lim it the flow.
One indication of just how much some in Moscow are thinking about something that in most capitals is unthinkable is the subject's appearance on the pages of Komsomolskaya Pravda, which has detailed arguments "for" and "against" uniting Kyrgyzstan with Russia.
Among the former are concerns about instability of the possibility that China would absorb Kyrgyzstan, whose "five million Kyrgyz" would be within the "statistical margin of error" for the People's Republic. Among the latter, the paper says, is a reluctance of Russians to take responsibility for the costs of supporting an impoverished Kyrgyz population.


Moonshine Robertson is a brilliantly creative and charismatic artist. She is known for the fresh, modern and flawlessly gorgeous makeup she creates for models, brides, and real women alike. Her love of nature, photography, and typography have fueled her desires to establish herself as a highly-skilled Freelance Makeup Artist and Licensed Esthetician.
Since 2006 Moonshine has worked with the industry's top talent. She is a regular collaborator with agency represented talent and models.
She continually strives to make all women and men feel like the best version of themselves.
I cannot recommend Cindy and Moonshine Makeup Artistry highly enough. Cindy did my wedding hair and makeup, and trial, for my August 2012 wedding in Sonoma County. She did an absolutely fantastic job with both. I spent a lot of time looking for the right makeup artist, because so many of them make you look overdone. I wanted a pretty, but natural look. Cindy did an absolutely perfect job. She is a genius with makeup. She uses lovely, lightweight products, and mixes everything together herself. She could probably be a professional painter, she is so good with color. After I saw the amazing makeup job she did, I was concerned that she couldn't possibly be as good with hair, but she was. I gave her a picture of the hairstyle I wanted, and she did it perfectly—extra impressive, since I have fine, flyaway hair, and it is difficult to make it stay.
Cindy is also incredibly nice and sweet to be around. The hours just before your wedding can be stressful, but Cindy made me feel relaxed and pampered, and totally stress-free. She gives wonderful tips on skin care and explains how to do use different products, and she also gives you a cute bag of makeup for touch-ups.
Finally, I will add that by hiring Cindy, you get a LOT for your money. She is as skilled as the most expensive makeup artists out there, but she charges less because she's based out of Sacramento instead of San Francisco. She is willing to travel (she drove hours to get to my wedding and trial), so by hiring her you get an incredible deal. After researching almost every makeup artist available, which took weeks, I had to post this review of Cindy so you can find her quickly, and enjoy a beautiful look for your wedding!
Cindy was amazing with all her help. My fiancee was very happy with her hair and makeup. Cindy went beyond the call of duty to stay behind when we are running late. Highly recommended!
She also did my bday makeup which I got tons of compliments on too!
I've worked with Cindy on a number of shoots and she's been a fantastic MUA. She is effective in providing the appropriate looks and doing so in a way that photographs beautifully. I highly recommend her services as a hair and makeup artist! Two thumbs up!

Yes, we have all heard that Google Plus died on arrival years ago. The weird thing is that there are still millions of people actually using it which makes it a platform you now have to consider. I know it's frustrating, but when it comes to selling or pushing a brand it doesn't leave you much room to figure out if you should go ahead and create a page. Of course, you should! It is still a thing and it still works so the next conversation we need to have is how do we get you looking good over at G+? The answer is in this product/service listing. We know design, and G+ is no stranger. So, what do you get here?
Logo artwork, if you are unable then the profile image will not be done and only the cover will be delivered.
Once we have everything, we will begin the design stage and show you what we came up with. You can have as many revisions if needed within reason. Within reason should be defined as 10 or less changes and that's actually a lot. I want to make sure you get the very best design. I ask that you help us upfront by laying out what you are looking for. Also, please let us know if we can use your end images as samples to future buyers in the gallery. If you agree and we choose it, we will link to your page. Our only use would be for portfolio use only or advertising the service. If you don't want us to use them then we will respect that decision.
Delivery is usually within a week at most depending on the time of year, and the files will be emailed or a link to download the zip file from Dropbox or Google Drive. Below you will see the portfolio of G+ covers we have done. I didn't include the profile images because they are typically the logo and the color background.
I am a writer, podcaster, and YouTuber. I enjoy talking and writing about technology and science, but also social media marketing and entrepreneurship. I love competitive business and getting to know people.

Bet on the NBAThe Thunder can take their time rolling into San Antonio and even have time to take a stroll on the Riverwalk, or as Charles Barkley describes it, "the dirty creek" before game one of the NBA Western Conference Championship Series. The game is scheduled to tip off at the AT&T Center on Sunday at 8:30ET and can be viewed on TNT with the aforementioned Sir Charles, as well as Ernie, Kenny and Shaq.
This series, without a doubt, features the two teams who have been the best in the West all season being where they should be, with a chance to advance to the NBA Championship series. A strong argument can be made, that they are the two best teams in the NBA. Sorry LeBron and Dwayne.
The Spurs will be even better rested than the Thunder after sweeping away the Clippers last week, while barely breaking a sweat. The Thunder had a little problem, but a very little one at that, dispatching a sad Lakers squad in five games.
This series will be a classic youth versus experience showdown with the Thunders, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook facing off against Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. Throw in Sixth Man of the Year, James Harden for Oklahoma City and Manu Ginobeli for San Antonio and this should be something to see. The Thunder must exhibit their speed and quickness, with Durant driving to the basket on a regular basis unless, of course, he pitches it off to Westbrook for the open jumper.
The Spurs need Duncan to continue to play at a high level and Parker to run the floor like he owns it. The matchup between Duncan and the Thunders Kendrick Perkins may be more interesting than one might think and go a long way to determining if Oklahoma City can pull this off.
San Antonio has won an incredible eighteen in a row entering Sundays game one. The Spurs are 6/5 favorites to advance from this series and win the NBA Championship. The Thunder are 5/2 to do the same. In game one, San Antonio is a 5.5 point home favorite if you're willing to lay $110 to win $100. Another $110 will be needed to bet the over / under of 204.5 points.

When purchasing the scope we tested it against all the other manufacturers and found the Swarovski to be much brighter (in photographic terms, 'faster') and sharper then it's competitors. The only time when there are some chromatic aberrations are if you take a photograph against a bright white sky, you may see some very fine yellow colour fringing along the edges.
The first consideration is to ensure that your camera body is able to meter with a manual lens. I originally used the Nikon D200, which worked well but the colours were bland, I have recently replaced this with the Fuji S5 pro and have been very impressed with the image quality. An easy test is to try your camera body with an old manual lens, if it works, so will the Swarovski. All metering and focusing will be manual, the only control you will be able to adjust is the shutter speed, the aperture is pre set by the scope at around F10/11. The setup is heavy so ALWAYS set your shutter speed as fast as possible and ensure that you have everything positioned on a solid tripod like Manfrotto or Gitzo, I currently use the Manfrotto carbon fibre with the lightweight head. Set the camera to use spot metering and aim to underexpose by at least half a stop. I shoot in RAW and compensate for the underexposure later. The depth of field will be very shallow, so you must focus on the eye of the bird or the main point of focus.
If you have enough light for a shutter speed of 1/250 or higher you should be able to work without a cable release. However you will need to manually focus all the images so keep one finger on the shutter and the other on the focus control. If the object is more stable you will need to use a cable release, most modern camera don't have a screw fit on the shutter sop either make something or use an infra red trigger. Alternatively use the timer control, once set you can press the sutter move away from the camera and allow it to trigger, using the mirror up function will also help to reduce camera shake on slow exposures.
All focusing is manual and this may take some practice. When photographing animals or birds always ensure that the eye is the point of focus. The focusing ring on the Swarovski is smooth and easy to use, take time to practice on your garden birds and make sure the diopter adjustment on your camera eyepiece is correctly set.
To use your DSLR with the Swarovski you will need the TLS 800, this replaces the eyepiece and contains it's own set of high quality optics. A camera T-Mount adaptor is also required, with my Nikon I use the Opticron Nikon T mount. The Swarovski is also a Bayonet fit, so it is very quick and easy to remove the standard eyepiece and replace it with the DSLR setup and vice versa. The setup is heavy (hence a solid tripod) and takes some time to position, so birds in flight are not an option, but for anything which stays still long enough the results will always impress.

Masterpieces of purrfection

Artist Shu Yamamoto holds Molly. (Linnea Lundgren/City Journals)
By Linnea Lundgren | [email protected]
Molly and Neko aren't interested. In fact, the two felines can't even be bothered to look at the unique cat paintings that surround them. They'd rather bask in the sun than admire "Mona Cat" by Meownardo da Vinci or "The Kitty with a Pearl Earring" by Johannes Vermeow.
That's all right with their human, Shu Yamamoto, the artist behind the hundreds of classical masterpieces transformed into cat art at his Sandy home.
"They provide moral support just being here," he said of the sun-bathing twosome.
That support has come in handy. Yamamoto has completed more than 500 pieces converting the great masters' works into great cat works and then including a cat-chy twist to the painting's name and artist. Every room in his home is like an art gallery.

A professional illustrator and graphic designer, Yamamoto found himself a retired empty-nester about 11 years ago. He recalled cleaning the house and discovering one of his son's childhood art pieces — a Van Gogh self-portrait on which his son had placed a cat's face in instead. "It was hilarious," he said. "It worked perfect. I wondered if that could be applied to other paintings. So, I experimented with pencil and, lo and behold, it works, most of the time."
Since then Yamamoto has painted every day, sometimes while still in his pajamas, and usually with Molly or Neko asleep nearby. "They never pose," he added.
His wife of 45 years, Reiko, whom he met while studying graphic design at Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts in Japan, doesn't complain much about his art, but sometimes can't resist a witty remark. "I told her one day my work will be famous here. And she said, 'Yes, after you're dead.'"
Cats are an easy subject for Yamamoto to paint. Since he was a child he's adored their "love me or leave me alone" attitude. Plus, he continued, cats have a natural elegance, a nobility that works well in classical art.
"Suppose a dog was in the 'Mona Lisa,' its tongue hanging from its mouth. Not nice," he said.
"But if you change the human [subject in the art] into a cat, it's always an improvement." For the record, Yamamoto does like dogs, often babysitting his son's pooch, and includes dogs in his work, but usually in a subservient or background role — like the dog server in Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" catering to the cat patrons.
Yamamoto works on large canvas using acrylics, which he says can imitate everything that oils can do, don't smell, and dry faster, so he can paint more paintings. That's important, since the more he strives to replicate the masters' works, the more he learns about their techniques, their brush strokes and their manipulation of light and color.
As for being unique, there's only one other person he knows that does this extensive amount of cat art, but she lives in the UK, paints in watercolor and her cats wear dour expressions. It's important to him that his feline works are whimsical and fun.
That whimsy was noticed by a Japanese publisher, who published Yamamoto's extensive book "Cat Art" after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami. The nation was in a somber mood and the publisher thought fun cat art was just what the country needed. "Cat Art" is now in its fifth printing in Japan, which Yamamoto said is a "great surprise" for him and his publisher. He's also published three other cat art books, including "Vermeow," a collection of 37 of Vermeer's best-known paintings-turned-cat art, as well as a book of Japanese woodblock prints featuring kitty-cats.
Yamamoto eagerly discussed his upcoming artistic tour de force — a replica of the Sistine Chapel ceiling with cats. Unlike Michelangelo, he doesn't want to paint upside down, so he'll divide the work into 100 canvas sections and then, when finished, he'll digitally compile them to recreate the ceiling.
"Michelangelo spent four years on that," he said. "I project six months."

Trump's War On Oversight Claims Another Victim
The president has abruptly removed Glenn Fine, who had been tasked with overseeing the $2 trillion rescue package, just days after he fired Michael Atkinson for his handling of the Ukraine whistleblower report.
By Eric Lutz

Donald Trump continued his raid on government watchdogs Tuesday, abruptly removing the inspector general who had been tasked with overseeing the $2 trillion coronavirus rescue package signed into law late last month. The move, which came days after the president fired Michael Atkinson over his role in the impeachment proceedings, raises significant concerns about the sweeping relief bill—and signals an escalation in Trump's assault on inspectors general, oversight officials that his allies have convinced him are part of a "deep state" effort to undermine him.
"Inspectors General are charged with doing independent oversight and exposing corruption," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff tweeted Tuesday. "Their job is to uncover the truth. Exactly why Trump fears them."
Acting Pentagon watchdog Glenn Fine had been tapped by a group of inspectors general to lead an oversight panel of the coronavirus relief bill, the largest in United States history. But Fine was removed from his post at the Pentagon on Tuesday, effectively barring him from his position at the panel, as only sitting inspectors general are allowed to fill the role. Sean O'Donnell, the inspector general of the Environmental Protection Agency, will also serve as the acting Pentagon IG, while Fine will serve as the principal deputy. "Mr. Fine is no longer on the Pandemic Response Accountability Committee," Dwrena Allen, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon inspector general's office, told Politico, which first reported the shakeup.
Fine, a career official, worked under Republican and Democratic administrations. He was acting Pentagon inspector general for more than four years and previously served as inspector general at the Justice Department for 11 years, according to the Washington Post. "I know him and can tell you he was a total pain in our rear end as DOJ IG, which is exactly what you want from an IG and exactly why Trump has fired him," tweeted former Obama Justice Department spokesman Matthew Miller. "He's tough, rigorous, and fair."
No rationale had been given for the move as of Tuesday afternoon, but it came just days after Trump sacked Atkinson, the inspector general for the intelligence community, in his latest act of political score-settling. Atkinson had deemed credible the whistleblower complaint about Trump's pressure campaign on Ukraine, touching off the proceedings that ultimately led to him becoming the third president in American history to be impeached. "I thought he did a terrible job," Trump said of the fired IG. According to Axios, Trump is planning additional ousters, egged on by conservative allies who have convinced him IG's are part of the so-called "deep state" seeking to upend his presidency. That's raised fears that Trump, with the nation distracted by the horrifying pandemic, could continue to erode democratic norms. "Times of crisis are when democracies are in the gravest danger of crumbling," Noah Bookbinder wrote in a New York Times op-ed Monday.
Trump's latest attacks on independent oversight have been particularly disturbing, threatening to further hamstring the administration's coronavirus response. In a press conference Monday, and subsequent tweets Tuesday, he attacked Health and Human Services Inspector General Christi Grimm, who in a report sounded alarms about ongoing resource shortages at U.S. hospitals. "Another Fake Dossier!" he wrote Tuesday, likening the IG report on the dire reality facing healthcare workers neglected by his administration to claims about his interactions with the Kremlin that figured into the FBI's Russia investigation.
In shaking up the panel tasked with providing oversight on how $2 trillion in Congressionally-approved rescue funds is being spent, Trump has exacerbated concerns many Democrats had about the mammoth legislation. Senate Democrats had objected to an initial Republican relief proposal on the grounds that it provided little oversight, condemning it as a "slush fund" for Trump. They eventually secured measures they believed would provide accountability, but Trump—in signing the package—said he wouldn't comply. Removing Fine appears to be confirmation of the fears that Trump will refuse to adhere to transparency measures. "Frankly, if the House of Representatives does not condition all further COVID aid on the restriction of the president's removal authority, they will have made a mistake," Paul Rosenzweig, a former Department of Homeland Security official under George W. Bush, told the Washington Post. "They should realize that the president is no longer operating in any semblance of good faith and he is more dangerous to the fabric of American democracy than the virus."

Republicans Now Just Admitting They Want Fewer Americans To Vote
As Trump and his GOP allies battle Democratic proposals to make voting safer in the age of coronavirus, they're being open about how increased turnout could hurt them at the ballot box.


The Spectre/Meltdown threat to computers worldwide has fixes now. But the fixes can sometimes sap performance.
Both Meltdown and Spectre are hardware vulnerabilities that hackers could use to steal information from computer memory. In one of the worst-case scenarios, it could be as egregious as stealing sensitive personal data like passwords or banking information.
The reasons for the vulnerabilities are complex but in a nutshell they exist because chip designers, in an effort to make processors faster, sacrificed security. Apple has provided a relatively simple but longer explanation.
Jérôme Boursier, a researcher at Malwarebytes, told Fox News the software patches are available to fix Meltdown without requiring hardware changes, but Spectre is a different story.
Patches, in order to mitigate the vulnerability, can slow things down. That's because the fix in effect, plugs the vulnerable processes that would otherwise boost performance.
Though many processor-intensive operations are not noticeably affected based on testing so far, that's not always the case. PC World saw a few cases of disk slowdowns on a Microsoft Surface Book after patches were installed. For one operation, storage drive performance dropped off as much as 26 percent and 42 percent for another.
Tests done by Techspot on Jan. 7 saw a five to eight percent reduction in some disk operations while other so-called 4K disk writes saw a 20 percent hit after patches were installed. And a 512K write test logged a 41 percent performance hit.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has stated in a blog post that a "variant" of the fix – which patches both the operating system and the processor's microcode – results in performance degradation.
Older systems appear to take the biggest hit. If a computer is using older Intel processors running Windows 8, for example, Microsoft said it "expect[s] most users to notice a decrease in system performance" after installing the patch.
Those processors – including an Intel chip architecture known as "Haswell" – aren't exactly ancient, however, and are still used by consumers worldwide in systems purchased as recently as three and a half years ago.
"[It] is an expensive proposition to validate basically every laptop and desktop going back to [older Intel chips]," PC World's Gordon Mah Ung told Fox News.
Input-output applications – which can hit storage disk performance – on Windows server show "significant" slowdowns after mitigations are enabled, Microsoft said in the aforementioned blog post.
The tech giant adds that it's important to "evaluate the risk of untrusted code for each Windows Server instance, and balance the security versus performance tradeoff for your environment." This means that users will have to sacrifice performance if they want to make their servers more secure.
"Microsoft has been working closely with chip manufacturers to develop and test mitigations to protect our customers," a Microsoft spokesperson told Fox News in a statement.
Video gaming that uses computers in the cloud can also take a hit. Epic Games posted a notice on Jan. 5 illustrating how its cloud services got whacked by patches for its Fortnite game.
"All of our cloud services are affected by updates required to mitigate the Meltdown vulnerability…[and there was] a significant impact on CPU usage of one of our back-end services after a host was patched to address the Meltdown vulnerability," the company wrote.
And Google has struggled to make sure cloud performance (which affects pretty much anyone that uses Google services like search) isn't impacted by fixes — though it claims to have solved that now so performance doesn't degrade.
An update for Google's soon-to-be-released web browser, Chrome 64, due to be released on Jan. 23, will contain mitigations to protect against exploitation.
Other issues that arise include frequent reboots after patches are installed. Both Intel Haswell and Broadwell processor-based systems have add issues with "higher reboots" for both clients (individual PCs) and data centers, Intel said in a blog post.
"We have received reports from a few customers of higher system reboots after applying firmware updates. Specifically, these systems are running Intel Broadwell and Haswell CPUs for both client and data center," Intel added.
On Jan. 3, Microsoft issued the January 2018 Windows operating system security update, which said antivirus updates should be installed first; then users can make sure they've turned on Windows automatic updates.
Hardware (also known as firmware) updates from PC manufacturers are also critical. That may require a user to check with their device manufacturer for updates. HP and Dell have provided resources here and here.
Malwarebytes has a summary of fixes as well.
Despite all the steps taken, fixing the problem won't be resolvef anytime soon. "This will go on for months if not years," PC World's Ung said.

Mobile DTV Hits the Strip
Competing systems woo broadcasters at NAB

Broadcasters hoping to use their digital-television (DTV) spectrum to deliver mobile services will have plenty to see at this week's NAB show in Las Vegas. Two competing mobile-DTV technologies will be on display on the show floor and in demonstration buses driving around the city.
Both systems are the result of partnerships between consumer-electronics companies and transmitter manufacturers, and each promises compatibility with the existing Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) transmission standard and its 8-VSB (vestigial side band) modulation scheme.
"Mobile DTV"—not the same as "mobile TV"—uses the digital-TV spectrum and standard to support mobile video reception. MediaFLO and Modeo, in contrast, use other broadcast spectrum; MobiTV uses cellular networks.
A-VSB (Advanced-VSB), first shown at last year's NAB show, was developed by Samsung Electronics and German transmitter manufacturer Rohde & Schwarz. The new MPH (Mobile-Pedestrian-Handheld) system is being introduced at NAB 2007 by LG Electronics, whose subsidiary Zenith Electronics invented 8-VSB, and broadcast-technology giant Harris Corp.
If one or both mobile-DTV systems were to be standardized and commercially implemented, broadcasters could have a competitive advantage over cable and satellite delivery. Mobile DTV would also help broadcasters keep pace with new mobile services like Qualcomm's MediaFLO, which already uses UHF broadcast spectrum to provide live network programming to Verizon Wireless customers, and Backseat TV, an in-vehicle service being launched this summer by Sirius Satellite Radio.
Unique Link to Stations' Viewers
Additionally, mobile DTV would give stations a unique link with their viewers as broadcast networks increasingly distribute their content on a national basis to new-media platforms. The major networks now make most of their primetime programming available online, either for free or on a pay-per-download basis through Apple's iTunes. CBS and NBC are providing national feeds to MediaFLO that don't include local content; a New York trial by another mobile-TV proponent, Modeo, also featured national, not local, fare.
Del Parks, VP of operations and engineering for Sinclair Broadcast Group, has seen A-VSB and MPH in action and says both prove that "the reception of 8-VSB signals in mobile mode is not only possible but practical." A longtime proponent of mobile DTV, Sinclair helped run informal field trials of A-VSB in Buffalo, N.Y., last fall and is providing transmission capacity for both NAB demonstrations through its Las Vegas stations, CW affiliate KVCW and MyNetworkTV outlet KVMY.
"I would encourage all broadcasters to look seriously at this," says Parks. "Although they may not have a business plan in their back pocket today, the possibilities for the future are exciting."
A-VSB, which was successfully demonstrated during bus rides at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, will be shown using a more efficient encoding scheme that allows multiple mobile-DTV streams to be transmitted alongside a hi-def program.
Single-Frequency Network
The A-VSB camp will also demonstrate reception via a single-frequency network (SFN), which uses multiple transmitter sites to improve reception in tough transmission environments, by placing low-power transmitters and antennas atop the Stratosphere and Paris hotels as well as the Las Vegas Convention Center. Station group Ion Media Networks aided the SFN demo by securing an experimental license from the FCC for Ch. 38 in Las Vegas, which the three transmitters will use to simultaneously broadcast the same A-VSB signal (Ch. 38, currently unoccupied, is to be eventually used for low-power DTV).
"What's being shown here is a small-scale SFN, something that could be used to provide coverage in urban areas," says Mike Simon, manager of advanced technology for Rohde & Schwarz.
MPH will be publicly demonstrated for the first time, in the Harris booth, in the ATSC "Hot Spot," and in private bus trips around Las Vegas, delivering multiple mobile streams. Harris and LG will also release results of high-power testing of MPH they conducted in Columbus, Ohio, with Dispatch Broadcast Group station WBNS. The companies measured the reception of MPH by a single 6-inch antenna in a variety of transmission environments and applications, says Zenith VP Wayne Luplow, from walking down the street to driving 70 mph on the highway.
"They were all very excellent results that we achieved," he says.
Mobile-DTV Standard
Recognizing broadcasters' rising interest in mobile reception, ATSC announced last week that it has formally started the process to create a mobile-DTV standard, ATSC-M/H (Mobile/Handheld). Although the standards process is generally slow-moving, ATSC President Mark Richer says ATSC is "going to be pushed to be very efficient and effective in getting this work done" and could have a candidate standard by the end of the year.
"Most broadcasters I've talked to," he adds, "feel very strongly that they want to be able to provide digital-TV service directly to mobile and handheld devices using their DTV signal. Many of them think it's extremely important to the future of the broadcasting business, and I happen to personally agree with that."
Both the A-VSB and MPH camps say there is nothing to stop broadcasters from starting mobile-DTV transmissions now, because such "in-band" transmissions fall within stations' existing 6 megahertz DTV channels and won't impact existing hi-def reception. Harris, for example, is already working on developing an MPH-compliant exciter and encoder to be paired with its DTV transmitters.
"Right now, we're more interested in getting the technology developed and proving it works in the real world, and we'll [figure out] what to do about standardization at a later time," says Harris Broadcast VP Jay Adrick.
However, standardization is vitally important to enable consumer-electronics manufacturers like Samsung and LG to build devices that can receive mobile-DTV signals. The A-VSB camp has already had lab testing of its system performed at the Communications Research Centre (CRC) in Ottawa and reported results to the ATSC. Field tests with several broadcasters are tentatively scheduled for this summer. Although no formal plan is in place, Samsung VP John Godfrey is hopeful that A-VSB could be considered for standardization by year-end.
"We want to make an open market out of this," he says. "A-VSB was introduced as an open standard so all manufacturers will be able to build receivers and so all broadcasters will know what technology to transmit with so they can reach those receivers."
Broadcasters like Parks and Ion President of Engineering David Glenn say they support mobile DTV in general and are agnostic as to which technology gets selected. They hope that a single standard will be selected and suggest that the A-VSB and MPH camps work together to create one robust solution. On that point, it is interesting to note that Samsung and LG already make cellphones that receive the MediaFLO mobile TV standard.
"I think it will be a tough play if there are two standards," says Glenn, who heads a new Ion division called Omvion that is focused on mobile applications. "Ideally, we'd like to see Samsung and LG be able to work together and come up with one great standard as opposed to two competing ones. That may be a little optimistic, but that would be best for the industry."

Renaissance TB Show set for Sept. 29
By Susan Salk on September 12, 2013
Havoc Wreaker with James McDonald at last year's Renaissance Show
Though it was canceled mid-summer, organizers and attendees of the Thoroughbred Renaissance Horse Show will prove on Sept. 29th that the show, in fact, must go on.
And it will.
Beginning at 8 a.m. at the Tammy Johnson Training at White Birch Stables Schooling Show at 59 Blanchard Road, Wilton, N.Y., a series of schooling English and Western classes will unfold, offering "diehard" Thoroughbred fans an opportunity to show off their off-track Thoroughbreds, says show founder, Fiona Farrell.
Although Farrell was forced to cancel the second-annual event due to issues about the event location, fans and competitors came out of the woodwork to insist the event go on, she says.
"We were really lobbied into making it work," Farrell says. "Competitors called and said things like, 'When are we going to show?' 'When's the show? 'We want to show!"
Mymommadonetoldme and Sophie Jansen at last year's show
With that kind of feedback, Farrell was energized to reach out to Grand Prix rider Tammy Johnson, a talented equestrian with a soft spot for Thoroughbreds.
"Due to the extreme kindness and generosity of Tammy Johnson, and of her belief and fondness for Thoroughbreds, we're able to hold the Renaissance Horse Show after all," Farrell says.
The show, which will be very relaxed, and not require formal attire, will begin with conformation, showmanship and lead line, and progress into beginner and intermediate under saddle and pleasure classes. Three Jockey Club TIP classes and classes for non-Thoroughbreds will also be offered.
Jumping classes over cross-rails and two-foot fences, culminating with a one-fence high jump, will also be held, along with a $55 Thoroughbred Trail Class, sponsored in the name of chestnut filly FiftyfiveFiftyFive.
Tammy Johnson is accepting re-registrations via email: tammyjohnson104@gmail.com. And those interested in volunteering may contact Fiona Farrell at fionafarrellesq@gmail.com.

Does your horse have to be off the track, or just a thoroughbred. My mare was at a race barn, but never raced.

Here's how I approach these previews. I look at all the K-6 books coming out in the next three months, then pick 10 titles that jump out to me the most. Could be because I've read them and loved them, could be because they're getting a lot of advance praise, could be because I can see them going over like gangbusters in my school libraries. Combinations of those three things are also welcome.
Wait, a playful picture book from a Frenchman? You don't say. Did you notice the heavy sarcasm there? That's because between Herve Tullet, Blexbolex, and Édouard Manceau, the French countryside is apparently lousy with picture book creators who love to get playful. This book, where the illustrator attempts to draw a chicken amid a series of mishaps should receive lots of laughs.
Gentle isn't an adjective that typically gets much attention, but this middle grade debut looks to be a nice alternative for readers who don't go for thrill-a-minute fantasy. A story about a girl who who goes from town oddball to something much more, this Indie Next pick looks to be a quiet winner.
Hey! It's the debut novel by Greg Pincus, a guy who's been part of children's literature realm for a while now. This is the story of a kid surrounded by a family of math geniuses who just wants to go to…author camp. Sounds like a collision of worlds kids can get into.
Chances are you know this one is coming, but I'd be a bad blogger not to mention a book that's been getting loads of early attention. With The Real Boy, all signs point to Ursu building on the impressive rep she earned with her last offering, Breadcrumbs. Here's guessing it'll be popping up in discussions over at Heavy Medal: A Mock Newbery Blog in the coming months.
Are you up for some creative nonfiction? Nine-year-old Sophie is headed to Antarctica with her dad and journals the whole trip. Facts, photos, diagrams, and illustrations of Antarctic wildlife combine to create a pretty intriguing mix.
At this point, every new Sean Kenney LEGO book should be an automatic add for your collection. LEGOs have never been more popular and Kenney's books show kids how to build things they might not have considered before. This latest title gets down to basics, limited to things you can build using only 35 pieces. It's like LEGO meets haiku.
For everyone who's seen a dinosaur depiction and asked "Dinosaurs had bright colored spots? Where'd they come up with that?", this is the book for you. A Sibert medalist takes us behind the scenes with paleoartists, who attempt to determine dino appearance from nothing but a batch of bones.
This is what I like about doing these previews – critically acclaimed books next to NERF. This book, chronicling the evolution of the popular NERF Blaster, is about as high interest as it gets.
There's no shortage of superhero graphic novels, but Smash: Trial by Fire is more well done than most. About a kid who inherits the powers of his favorite hero, it's full of drama, humor, and seriously thrilling action sequences. To summarize: kids are going to love it.
The Knights of the Lunch Table series has been a circulation champ in my libraries for the last couple years, and I'm predicting this new series by Knights creator Frank Cammuso will have a similar fate. And not to get all gender-y on you, but I like the fact that this features a girl main character but the cover doesn't scream "for girls only" – makes it an easy sell for everyone (quiet pound to the Amulet folks).
Look for the next 10 to Note coming in November.

Assemble Fest 2017 and Our Street Our Stage have been incredible, and we can't thank everyone enough who was involved and participated in some way.
We're grateful for all the support we've had over the past 12 months, especially from the Newland Avenue traders and Residents Association. It's wonderful to be part of such an amazing community.
Over the last 4 incredible years, Assemble Fest has had 5 festivals, supported 25+ local theatre companies, seen 28 premieres of new work, staged events in 30+ spaces, held a special one-off festival on Hessle Road and employed 100+ members of the local community.
Now, we have decided to review what the future of Assemble Fest looks like and so we will be taking a year off, returning fresher and bolder in 2019. We want to invite a new generation of artists, makers and community ambassadors to lead the festival to new heights.
It's cold and wintry outside but if you wander down Newland Avenue you'll find something very special!
For Our Street Our Stage, we took all the research collected by our Heritage Research Coordinator, Dan Dearing, and created a very special heritage information board for Newland Ave! Designed to raise knowledge of and pride in the local area, the heritage board is a colourful and accessible way to find our more about the heritage of the area. From Newland's marshy origins to it's contribution to Hull Pals, you'll be able to read about the avenues past and follow our heritage trail along the planters too!
You can read more about the heritage we did online here.
Thank you to the Heritage Lottery Fund, Newland Residents Association, Design By George and everyone involved in Assemble Fest 2017 and Our Street Our Stage for making this possible!

This year Bellow Theatre are taking the melodies to a whole new level.
This year we're running a special project exploring Newland's heritage entitled Our Street Our Stage. It will celebrate the history of the area and the diverse community in which the festival has found its home. From Newland's beginnings as green fields, right through to the vibrant traders and residents it now serves, Our Street Our Stage will see a collaboration between local historians and researchers, artists, volunteers and residents of Hull. The research is currently being turned into a free accessible evening event, taking place on Saturday 3rd June.

Many homeless people have disabilities and need workers to assist them in their daily lives, the report says. Others, on the edge, require workers to help keep them from becoming homeless.
Meanwhile, the Maxine Lewis Homeless Shelter and the Prado Day Center in San Luis Obispo also "are no longer sustainable," the report says. Both face higher costs and an increase in demand for services.
The El Camino Housing Organization — ECHO — which provides night shelter for 30 people at its Atascadero facility, wants to buy property to house the homeless around the clock, as well as improve their health.
South County advocates also hope to hire a coordinator for their homeless and find land to build a shelter.
Despite all these competing demands, the county report says its "greatest unmet need" is construction of a new homeless shelter and homeless services in San Luis Obispo.
