Q: How to "Save" a particular picture inside a div that was replaced using a function? I got the codes from another answered question from this site. But what I want is that i want to make a button that saves the newly uploaded picture inside the div. As in if i refresh the page, the newly uploaded pic is there and not the old one.
HTML:

    <form id="changepic">

<input id="file" type="file" name="files[]" onchange="readURL(this)">

    </form>

PHP:
    $(".imageSection button").click(function() {
        $(".imageSection img").removeClass("activeImage");
        $(this).parent().find("img").addClass("activeImage");
    });
    $(".imageSection:eq(0) img").addClass("activeImage");

    function readURL(input) {
        if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
            var reader = new FileReader();

            reader.onload = function(e) {
                $('.profilepic,.activeImage').attr('src', e.target.result).width(200).height(200);

                $('.activeImage').css('display', 'inline');
            };

            reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
        }
    }

In this code, when i upload a picture image.jpg, it will replace the picture anonymous.png with image.jpg. Now what i want is, when the picture is changed, it will be permanent (like when i refresh the page, go to another page then go back again) unless i want to change it again.

Advances in Telemedicine for Dermatologists have made it possible for dermatologists to quickly and efficiently see patients via teleconferencing without the patient ever setting foot in an exam room for a traditional consult. As a dermatologist looking to expand your practice and stay on the cutting edge in your field, offering telemedicine consultations to your patients makes it easy for you to examine your patients from remote locations, streamlining patient flow while increasing your practice's revenue and providing a much-needed service to patients in your area.
How Does Telemedicine for Dermatologists Work?
Using a computer, tablet, or smartphone, patients can connect with you from their homes or offices to consult with you on a variety of issues, whether they have a suspicious-looking mole or are battling psoriasis or eczema. You can view and examine the patient via video or allow the patient to upload photos of their condition to help you make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan, all in high-definition video and audio under HIPAA-compliant conditions. Share screens with your patient and use interactive tools for educating the patient about his condition, all from the comfort of his home.
Telemedicine offers several benefits for your dermatology patients. Patients appreciate the ease of seeing you from home without the need to drive to your office or spend time in your waiting room. Depending on your availability, patients can use your telemedicine website to set up an appointment on demand instead of waiting for a consultation, which makes it easier to fit dermatological care into their schedules. For patients who live in remote areas, the availability of telemedicine reduces the expenditure and time spent making a commute to your office, which puts you in touch with patients whose locations might ordinarily put them out of your practice's reach. Patients who are shut-in or housebound can reach out for dermatology services without the need to leave home, making it easier to manage their conditions without in-person consultations.
Today's dermatologist must stay on the cutting edge within the niche to appeal to the greatest number of patients. Telemedicine helps you manage both new and existing patients while curtailing the overflow of patients coming through your office, reducing overall wait times for in-person consultations and speeding up the process of seeing patients. This all translates to increased revenue for you. When patients cancel their appointments or fail to show up for consultations, it also makes it easier to make use of that otherwise wasted time by filling it with on-demand consults.
In addition, telemedicine sets you apart within the local medical community, since you are offering a service that some of your colleagues may not. Because patients prefer to see a provider who can see them right away, offering your services via telemedicine gives you the chance to enhance your practice's reputation within your service area, becoming the "go to" dermatologist for patients who don't want to or can't wait to be seen.
Vsee offers a range of telemedicine tools that can take your dermatology practice to the next level. Our software allows you to build a customized Cloud Clinic for your dermatology office, so you can quickly and easily assess your patients' needs, consult with them remotely, and offer a treatment plan or referral to a specialist. Vsee's APIs and SDKs make implementation of telemedicine services easy and simple, using either your own developers or Vsee's trained experts. With the right tools in place, patients can see you on the fly using a custom mobile or web app that's designed around the features that you choose.
Even though telemedicine does not replace conventional patient-doctor interactions, it's a necessary supplement in the digital age. Patients expect to be able to access medical care remotely, and becoming the provider who offers this service can help you grow your practice's patient base and improve your overall bottom line while providing a service that's very much in demand.

Q: Persistent AuthCookie is set but being redirected to login I'm having problems with using a persistent AuthCookie. The validation and login works perfectly and if i close the browser and re-open it the authentication is still valid no redirect to the login page is done.
I'm not sure what the exact time is but let's say that if close the browser without logging off and only reopen it 20 minutes later I'll be redirected to the login page even though the cookie is set when I check with web developer tools and it's expiration date is one month from now.
All i'm doing after validating the users credentials is
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, model.RememberMe);

And in my Web.Config I have it set like
<configuration>
    <system.web>
    ...
    <authentication mode="Forms">
        <forms cookieless="UseCookies" loginUrl="~/Utilizador/Login" name="SMOAuth" slidingExpiration="true" timeout="43829"/>
    </authentication>
    ...

Also tried to hard-code the machine key as suggested here and a few other places, but to no effect
<machineKey validationKey="Validation_Key_Here" decryptionKey="Decrypt_Key_Here" validation="SHA1" decryption="AES"/>

I'm having a hard time trying to figure this out

A: //this line is NOT ENOUGH for "remember me" to work!!!
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, true); //DOESN'T WORK!

//###########

//you have to save the "remember me" info inside the auth-ticket as well
//like this:

DateTime expires = DateTime.Now.AddDays(20); //remember for 20 days

//create the auth ticket
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1,
    userName,
    DateTime.Now,
    expires, // value of time out property
    true, // Value of IsPersistent property!!!
    String.Empty,
    FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath);

//now encrypt the auth-ticket
string encryptedTicket = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(ticket);

//now save the ticket to a cookie
HttpCookie authCookie = new HttpCookie(
            FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName,
            encryptedTicket);
authCookie.Expires = expires;

//feed the cookie to the browser
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add(authCookie);

A: Check your IIS settings.
1) By default IIS 7 (and IIS 8 as well if memory serves) generates the unique encryption key per application pool at runtime. Generation at runtime means that the key is regenerated whenever app pool restarts. Meaning the persistent cookie generated before app pool restart won't be decrypted after the app pool restart, user won't be able to authenticate with the old cookie and will be taken to the login page.
2) IIS has default idle timeout - 20 minutes. Meaning that if the app does not receive a single request in 20 mins, the app pool will shut down. Then it will start anew when a request comes in.
The combination of the above two settings can lead to the behavior that you described.
PS. you may also want to check the Application event log - if it is indeed decryption failing, you will have an exception in there - something in lines of "Unable to validate data"

On Saturday, we decided to cycle up to Skidby Mill, a working windmill restored with Lottery funding (what isn't these days?), with a Museum of Rural Life attached.
It's not that far – about 6 miles, maybe – but there was a vicious headwind most of the way there, and the last bit is decidedly Up. To my shame, I couldn't quite manage it, and had to push. And my calves ache like mad!
The museum is beautifully done out, with photographs of and quotations from people who worked the land in the 1930s and 1940s, and some "hands on" exhibits for people to try grinding grain between stones again. I was quite taken aback to be charged £1.75 entrance, as I thought museums were free these days, but it was well worth the money. You can climb right up to the top and see the miller milling (though I didn't, as I'd never have got down again). You can buy the flour they mill, so we did, and we had a cup of tea and a very nice scone in the tearoom before heading home.
It was glowering a bit when we left, but the rain held off. We came back via Morrisons (so just over 12.5 miles all told) and bought some bits, which I stowed in my nice new rear bike basket – I'm very pleased with that, as it means we can go a bit further afield for shopping without the car. Pete is very hardy, and carries heaps of stuff in a rucksack, but my back doesn't like that. I picked up some greengages for 50p, marked as exotic fruit (really? greengages?), and some white pudding, which I love – you hardly ever see it down south.
In the afternoon, I made a couple of banana and coconut cakes as an experiment, as we had a kilo of desiccated coconut in the larder. I have no idea why we bought such a huge bag, and working through it is going to take some time.
Sunday dawned grey and cold and rainy, and it stayed like that all day, which was irritating as I'd wanted to pop into town. Instead, we had a small but beautifully formed fry up for breakfast (1 rasher, 1 sasuage, 1 egg, 2 slices of white pudding, some fried potatoes). Then we turned a half shoulder of lamb into slow cooked lamb and lentils, and put up with the smell all afternoon. I watched Gosford Park in the afternoon, and the day was, generally, slumpage. First weekend day we've spent completely at home since last winter, I think, but was quite nice nonetheless.

I was tired of seeing Kim K's app, Kimoji so I created my own set of satirical Kimunji. You can see all Kimunji here: http://kimunji.online.
The idea blew up and made it's way into international news. I was lucky enough to be interviewed by the BBC, NYTimes, The Telegraph, Complex Magazine, Refinery 29 and more.
Some very cool things are in the works because of this.

Draftsperson - Houses - K. H. Davis Engineering Consultants Ltd.
K H Davis is looking for Junior level AutoCAD/Revit Design/Draftsperson that has a true interest in the Design and Construction of Houses and is interested in joining our team of Architectural Designers and Structural Engineers.
The candidate should have a degree or diploma in Architectural Technology, Engineering Technology, or Construction Technology, preferably from a North America College or University. The candidate would report to various Project Managers within our Office that are responsible for the delivery of design projects to our clients.
This is a junior position with growth potential.
We are K H Davis Engineering Consultants Ltd, a Boutique firm of Structural Engineers and Architectural Technologists located in the City of Toronto. We have a well-established reputation amongst Toronto Architects and Builders as specialists in Houses. We are truly dedicated and focused on the design and construction of Houses (Large buildings are not our area of practice); our staff have appeared on numerous HGTV home improvement shows over the past 10 years which demonstrates our commitment and expertise in the design community. We also regularly contribute to the AEC community by speaking at Trade Shows and related Trade Organizations in the Toronto Area.
Draftsperson – Houses: Candidate will be responsible for providing design/drafting services to the various Project Managers in our office. Much of the work is "task" oriented, however an individual that demonstrates keen interest and ability has full potential to grow from within our firm.
The Candidate must have directly relevant CAD skills including both AutoCAD and Revit, and as part of our interview process, you will be asked to perform a test to demonstrate your ability. If you do not truly have experience preparing drawings in AutoCAD and Revit, please do not apply.
The ideal candidate already has 1-3 years of directly relevant experience and is a self starter – much of your work will be carried out independently, under the direction of a Project Manager, preparing Architectural and Structural Drawings that form part of the deliverables to our clients.
Our projects are varied and extensive – they typically involve additions/renovations to existing homes and the design of completely new infill homes. Projects can be as simple as a new laneway garage, to a very complex modern home that requires Zoning Variances and protracted approvals from Conservation Authorities and Heritage Committees.
Most of our architectural projects require the involvement of our Structural Engineering department since they usually involve significant structural alterations to the building. Hence, the candidate should already be reasonably familiar with home construction and renovation and must have a good understanding of how houses are built in Canada – this includes an understanding of wood frame construction, some understanding of home heating systems, and an appreciation of the importance of proper building envelope design. Over time, the candidate is expected to come to understand the entire life-cycle of our work – from conceptual design all the way through to construction site visits.
The Candidate must be confident, skilled in their abilities, and truly dedicated while working in the office; they must possess good client and customer service skills.
Ideally, the candidate has a general working knowledge of Part 9 of the OBC and should be able to look up relevant Building Code requirements as needed without direction from Project Managers.
Particular preference will be given to applicants that have a BCIN# and have passed examinations that cover Part 9 – House.
If you are a Technologist who is looking to work for a firm that specializes in Houses and Small Buildings, then we are likely the firm for you. We offer a very flexible work environment, benefits, and above-average annual bonus (based upon year end profitability). Our office is a professional, yet casual office environment, where people are expected to assume responsibility and complete their work with high technical quality in a timely manner, with minimal direct supervision.
Demonstrated ability to prepare drawings with AutoCAD and Revit is required.
Must have a good understanding of wood framing typically used in North American home design and construction.
Keen interest in North American house design and construction.
Reasonable ability to use Part 9 of the OBC when preparing design drawings.
Good ability to grasp building details – 3-D spatial visualisation skills are required.
Excellent interpersonal skills – Many of our Clients are Homeowners and Building Renovators, so often we need to explain technical things to non-technical people in a manner whereby the client understands the issues.
We are Design Consultants, so all staff must have very good oral and written English language skills, since direct client contact is expected, and some report writing is also required.
Ideally, candidate has a G driver's licence since occasional travel to and from Project sites in the Greater Toronto Area is required.

Francesco Maria Brancaccio (15 April 1592, in Canneto, near Bari – 9 January 1675) was an Italian Catholic cardinal.

Naples

Brancaccio was born on 15 April 1592, the son of Baron Muzio II Brancaccio, governor of Apulia and Zenobia in the Kingdom of Naples. He was educated by the Jesuits in Naples. He was ordained there as a priest in 1619 and was rose through local ecclesiastic ranks until 1627 when he became Bishop of Capaccio which was then within the Kingdom of Naples. On 8 Sep 1627, he was consecrated bishop by Cosimo de Torres, Cardinal-Priest of San Pancrazio, with Giuseppe Acquaviva, Titular Archbishop of Thebae, and Francesco Nappi (bishop), Bishop of Polignano, serving as co-consecrators. While a bishop, he came into conflict with the local foot guards with whom he had a disagreement about local ecclesiastic jurisdiction. When the disagreement was elevated to armed conflict, a castrato in Brancaccio's employ killed the captain of the guard. The Vice-King ordered the bishop to stand trial and he obeyed; making arrangements to travel to Naples to give his account. But rather than travel to Naples he fled in a felucca towards Rome and upon arrival sought an audience with Pope Urban VIII to explain his side of the story. Urban agreed to defend the bishop and a furious Kingdom of Naples took custody of all the wealth and assets of Brancaccio's bishopric.

Pope Urban absolved Brancaccio of any crime and ordered that he be returned to Capaccio but the Vice-King opposed it and urged the pope to send him elsewhere. The Pope, in need of more cardinals loyal to the Barberini cause, instead kept Brancaccio in Rome and he was elevated to the rank of cardinal in his consistory of 28 November 1633.

Cardinalate

Now as a cardinal, there were few who would publicly speak ill of Brancaccio, though they may have wanted to. He was restored to his bishopric where he remained until 1635 when yet another conflict with yet another Vice-King saw him resign. While in Naples he worked closely with cardinals Francesco Boncompagni and Ippolito Aldobrandini.

He became Bishop of Viterbo in 1638; then he became cardinal-bishop of Sabina (1666–68), of Frascati (1668–71), and finally of Porto e Santa Rufina (1671–75).  He attended the papal conclaves of 1644, 1655, 1667 and 1669, which elected popes Innocent X, Alexander VII, Clement IX and Clement X respectively.

Patron of the arts

During his time in Rome he formed the Biblioteca Brancacciana (which later moved to Naples and became that city's first public library – it is now part of the National Library of Naples) and housed the artist Salvator Rosa.

In 1642 Giovanni Gentile dedicated a teaching-collection of music entitled Solfeggiamenti et ricercari a due voci (Solfèges and ricercari for two voices – Lodovico Grignani, Rome, 1642) to him.  The frontispiece gives him as "CARD. FRANCESCO MARIA / BRANCACCIO. / VESCOVO DI VITERBO" ("Cardinal Francesco Maria Brancaccio, bishop of Viterbo") and in the appendices is a canon in two voices "Cavato dalle lettere vocali del nome, e cognome / DELL'EMINENTISSIMO E REVERENDISSIMO / CARDINALE BRANCACCIO" ("Based on the vocal letters of the name and surname of the most eminent and most reverend / cardinal Brancaccio").

I saw your blog on the planet haskell feed (I think) and started reading The Art of Learning because of it. Great book, and I agree with your criticism of it. A lot of it resonated with me and my learning style, although I will never be either a chess master or a martial artist of any standing. I'm an engineer and as such have an urge to do things that are useful in some way, so it is difficult to appreciate chess for it's own sake.
I've just started in on Mindset, and it looks interesting so far! Thanks for the good additions to my reading list.
It was probably on planet haskell, most of my readers come from there for the moment.
The Art of Learning is great, I just wanted people to be aware what they were getting into if they bought it.
Mindset is a good one, too, but I'm not as impressed with it. Examples are nice, but I think there are almost too many in it. I was hoping to get more of the meat of the research. Nonetheless it's a great book, and I'll look into the research behind it afterwards.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on adapting TAOL techniques for the solo autodidact.
BTW, the blog is now at tehgeekmeister.com.

Maybe it was the lack of beef that led me to think I would never make this morning hunt past 9am but this short fat guy was starving. I had not eaten for 10 hours (a feat rarely attempted by me). In fact, my stomach was making so much noise, groan here, groan there, I could not imagine a turkey getting within 50 yards of my blind. I had watched turkeys earlier in the morning perform their ritual strut in front of the ladies but nothing too close. Then it happened! That close gobble every hunter dreams of. Man this bird was close and I mean CLOSE! Then another gobble…getting closer. Soon I could hear foot steps. As I peered outside the blind window I saw a nice Tom just out of range. Unfortunately another Tom was trying to pull him away. I purred…nothing. I clucked…nothing. I even let loose with a few soft yelps followed by more intense purring. Still nothing. In fact, he was leaving. Then, without warning, my stomach let out a ridiculously loud groan (did I mention I was hungry?). That Tom actually gobbled and began walking back to me. I sat there dumbfounded, praying for another groan from the gut. No need! There he was at 25 yards staring down on me. I clicked off the safety and spent the next half hour plucking feathers.
I have made a lot of turkey noises but the turkey gut groan is something even Primos doesn't market. Not sure how I made that call nor if I could ever duplicate it again, but for opening weekend, for a moment in time, it was what I needed.
The rut is definitely in full swing and the action should be good right with latest temps climbing. I would make a point to be out this weekend (and I will), as things could heat up fast. Have fun and be safe!

Verticulture is short for vertical agriculture, in which plants are planted vertically on manmade structures. The media for this technique are the same as that for conventional farming, however, it does not require as much area. For example, in conventional method, five plants can fit in one squared meter of a plot. Verticulture, on the other hand, can allow as many as 20 plants on the same area.
Verticulture is container planting where the containers are arranged vertically. And thus this method optimizes the vertical space. This technique is very appropriate for urban gardening because of the scarcity of planting spaces in big cities.
Easily made from available material. The containers can be made from disposable water bottles, gutters, PVC pipes, bamboo, wood, etc.
Easily maintained. Stacked plants and smaller surface area make watering more efficient and less evaporation. Weed control is also easier.
Easily moved. The container system allows easy movement of plants to the more appropriate location. Many plants are sensitive to humidity and require lots of sunlight. Because the Sun does not always stay in the same location, plants may flourish or suffer depending on the time of the year. To get the right amount of sunlight, the containers can be easily moved.
Increasing aesthetics. Various plants can be grown on a verticulture system and thus add beauty on the garden.
There is only one disadvantage of this method: it requires a higher initial cost to build the containers.
A combination of organic and synthetic fertilizers is recommended for this method for optimal yields. Composts of plant or animal byproducts provide organic matter and micro nutrients, and also maintain medium porosity. While NPK and KCl provide the macro nutrient requirement.
A well balance fertilizer application ensures healthy plant growths. The types of fertilizers should be adjusted to the kinds of plants, ie. leafy vegetables require different nutrient from fruiting plants.
Verticulture requires simple growing medium, consisting of compost, rice husk charcoal, and soil with 1 : 1 : 1 ratio. The rice husk increases porosity to allow water to reach the lower plants.
Annual vegetables are the best plants for this system. These include, but are not limited to celery, a family of chinese cabbage (caisim, pak-choy, bok-choy), green and red leaf lettuces, sawi (mustard green), tomato, cabe (chilli pepper), terong (eggplant), etc.
For mix planting, the top planting spots should be reserved for plants that require lots of sunlight, such as cabe, tomato, terong and sawi. Whereas seledri, lettuce, and caisim can occupy the lower planters.

How will Brexit deal affect people in Northern Ireland from January 1?
The changes are due to come into effect from January 1
Brendan Hughes
Special arrangements were already secured for Northern Ireland before the UK-EU trade deal was agreed (Image: Getty)
From Friday, New Year's Day 2021, people in Northern Ireland will begin to see changes to everyday life as a result of Brexit.
The UK voted to leave the European Union in a referendum in June 2016, but the practical out-workings of that decision are only just beginning.
While Brexit technically happened 11 months ago, the UK has been in a standstill transition period during which negotiations were held on a future trading relationship.
This post-Brexit trade deal was finally agreed on Christmas Eve, running to more than 1,200 pages.
While the deal still has to be voted for in the House of Commons, it is expected to comfortably pass due to the Conservative Party's majority and support from Labour.
DUP MPs to vote against Boris Johnson's post-Brexit trade deal
Brexit trade deal welcomed by Northern Ireland leaders as 'good news'
Special arrangements were already secured for Northern Ireland as a result of 2019's Withdrawal Agreement which formally removed the UK from the European trading bloc.
It included the Northern Ireland Protocol, aimed at preventing a hard land border between Northern Ireland and the Irish Republic.
The arrangement involves keeping Northern Ireland in the EU's single market for goods and applying EU customs rules at its ports - meaning additional checks for goods moving from Great Britain into Northern Ireland.
Here is a rundown of the changes people in Northern Ireland can expect from January 1.
What will happen to my regular grocery shop?
Stock image (Image: Getty Images)
The trade deal means no extra charges (tariffs) on goods or limits on the amount that can be traded (quotas) between the UK and EU.
Supermarkets will be given a "grace period" of several months to avoid any disruption to food supplies transported from Britain to Northern Ireland after January 1.
Tesco chairman John Allan has said any changes to food prices after Brexit will likely be "very modest indeed" and any differences to "intra-Ireland" trade will be "marginal".
Is travel to the Republic of Ireland, Great Britain and mainland Europe affected?
Citizens of the UK and Ireland can still move freely to live, work and study within the two jurisdictions due to their longstanding Common Travel Area arrangement predating EU membership.
People in Northern Ireland can also use their rights under the Good Friday Agreement to retain freedom of movement in the EU, as the Agreement allows people from Northern Ireland to be British, Irish or both.
Irish passport holders in Northern Ireland can continue to move and reside freely within the EU.
But British passport holders in Northern Ireland lose free movement entitlements to mainland EU. They are being advised to ensure their passports have at least six months' validity and were issued less than 10 years ago, and they will need a visa for stays in mainland EU of longer than 90 days in every 180-day period.
UK passport holders will also no longer be able to use the EU passport queue at borders and airports.
Brexit checks on goods arriving in NI from Britain could see material sent back, top vet warns
Brexit: Delivery company to 'temporarily suspend collection service from GB to NI'
What about travel from Great Britain to Northern Ireland?
While nothing changes for NI to GB travel, there will be differences in the opposite direction.
This is because while Britain is leaving the EU customs union and single market, Northern Ireland will continue to follow many of these rules.
This will include food products - such as meat, fish and eggs - arriving from Britain into Northern Ireland facing checks at ports to ensure they comply with EU standards.
Giving a simple example of the implications for travellers going from GB to NI, travel writer Simon Calder told the BBC: "You won't be able to bring any ham or cheese sandwiches because they are meat and dairy."
Is my driving licence valid for driving while travelling in the EU?
A driving licence from Northern Ireland will continue to be valid for driving in the EU, including the Republic of Ireland.
Drivers from Northern Ireland travelling across the border will not need an International Driving Permit (IDP). However, motorists who only have a paper licence will need an IDP in some EU countries.
A green card from your insurer will be needed for driving in the Republic and mainland Europe, according to the Irish government website.
Residents in the Republic who hold a UK or Northern Ireland driving licence will need to contact the National Driver Licence Service to exchange their licence as it will not be valid from January 1.
The UK government has advised that arrangements for EU licence holders visiting or living in the UK will not change.
What happens to EU pet passports?
There will be no changes to the current rules for Northern Ireland pet owners travelling to the Republic or the rest of the EU.
Current EU pet passports will no longer be valid from January 1, but pet owners in Northern Ireland can contact their vet to update their pet passport to allow for continued travel.
However, there will be changes for travel with pets from Britain into Northern Ireland or the EU.
Owners of dogs, cats or ferrets must ensure measures are taken including having their pets are microchipped and vaccinated against rabies.

Is using my mobile phone abroad going to cost more?
At least for now, it should not become more expensive.
The UK's four main providers - O2, EE, Vodafone and Three - say they have no plans to reintroduce roaming charges, but they would be free to do so in future.
The British government has set a cap of £45 (€50) in any billing period in a bid to protect against excessive fees.
Will European health insurance cards still work?
European Health Insurance Cards (EHIC) cards, which allow state-provided emergency medical care in Europe, will remain valid until they expire.
The UK government has said it will be replaced by its own UK Global Health Insurance Card, the details of which have yet to be finalised.
Either way, the Irish government has committed to funding the EHIC scheme for people in Northern Ireland.
Can I study in mainland Europe?
While students at universities in Britain will no longer be able to take part in the Erasmus exchange programme, in Northern Ireland students will still be eligible due to an Irish government funding pledge worth an estimated €2.1m per year.
Erasmus allows students to study or undertake a work placement in another EU member state while having their fees covered.
Does duty-free shopping make a return?
Duty-free sales return for passengers travelling between Ireland and Britain, but it will not apply for travel between Northern Ireland and the Republic.
According to the UK government website, travellers returning from the EU will have a new duty-free allowance of 200 cigarettes; nine litres of sparkling wine or four litres of spirits; 18 litres of still wine; and 42 litres of beer.

Can businesses in Northern Ireland still trade with the Republic, Britain and mainland Europe?
Britain is no longer be part of the EU's Single Market and Customs Union, but Northern Ireland will retain some ties to the EU.
The Northern Ireland Protocol means the region remains in the EU's single market for goods and applies EU customs rules at its ports.
This means no new checks or controls for north-south trade on the island of Ireland.
However, goods arriving from Britain will face some checks and controls at Northern Ireland's ports from January 1 .
How is the fisheries trade affected in Northern Ireland?
Fishing rights was a key sticking point in negotiations on a UK-EU trade deal.
The UK will have control over its fishing grounds, but EU boats will be able to fish in UK waters for some years to come at least.
Some 25% of the value of EU boats' current catch will be made available for UK fishing boats over a five-and-a-half-year phasing-in period.
After that, the UK and EU will regularly negotiate on access to each other's waters, which would include Northern Ireland.

'The End of Time'
21 Woodlands Terrace, Glasgow G3 6DF
8 April - 19 June 2016
A new exhibition by the Lebanese artist Akram Zaatari featuring drawing, photography and film.
Zaatari has an expansive practice that reflects on the collection, archive and dissemination of images and the role they play in the formation of identities and histories. This sensibility is formed by living through 15 years of war in Lebanon and recording it as a teenager. He has spent much of the past decade collecting and studying the photographic history of the Middle East.
For his first exhibition in Scotland, Zaatari presents a selection of works that reflect his interest in the documentary and its place as a tool in the shaping of history, both personal and collective.
Zaatari is co-founder of the groundbreaking Arab Image Foundation, an artist-driven organisation with a collection of over 600,000 images, established in 1997 to preserve and study photographs from the region. He has made invaluable and uncompromising contributions to the wider discourse on preservation and archival practice and played a critical role in developing the formal, intellectual, and institutional infrastructure of Beirut's contemporary art scene. Zaatari participated in Documenta13 and represented Lebanon at the Venice Biennale 2013.

British Deputy High Commissioner for Western India, Peter Beckingham announced new figures on 14 March about India's investment in the UK over last two years.
According to Beckingham, over 100 new entrepreneurs have invested in the UK over the last two years. Beckingham visited Vadodara to speak with entrepreneurs and attract further investment for the UK. He stated that the UK has been encouraging investment from India by not making stricter visa rules for investors. Tier visa categories used by investors include the Tier 1 entrepreneur visa, the Tier 1 investor visa and Tier 2 visa.
He added that the UK is looking for investments specifically in areas of advanced engineering, energy sector, automotive sector and oil and gas sector. UK Trade and Investment, a company that works to encourage overseas companies to look to the UK as their global partner of choice, has already been working with around 2,000 Indian businesses in over 20 cities since 2009.
He met officials of Federation of Gujarat Industries and Vadodara Chamber of Commerce and Industries and said: "We are open to Indians who want to study, invest or travel in the country as tourists. We are not restricting entry for such people. In fact, many Indian companies have been investing in the UK. Indians have been one of the biggest investors in the UK."
Beckingham also noted that the number of Indian students studying in the UK has gone up. He said that the UK has been cracking down on fraudulent universities and has published a list of recognised genuine UK universities.


感測器 FlAsH-3W2F-TCǶ利用一系列 FlAsH 螢光染料標示胜肽的螢光性質進行研究,發現帶有芳香環側鏈的胺基酸中,相較於阻胺酸與苯Ҙ胺酸,色胺酸對FlAsH 螢光染料的螢光有最好的淬滅效果;胜肽上的色胺酸數量越多對螢光的淬滅效果也越好Ƕ色胺酸對於螢光染料的淬滅是根據光誘發電子轉移,透過螢光分子與色胺酸之間碰撞所形成暫時的分子軌域,提供電子轉移的通道,使螢光團激發的能量得到鬆弛Ƕ在以 Trypsin 為模型的蛋白酶活性實驗中,感測器水解前後有將近 9 倍的螢光強度增加;在 Caspase-3 目標蛋白酶活性實驗中,也觀測到明顯的螢光增強Ƕ以色胺酸做為淬滅團在螢光感測器上的應用是可行的。;We synthesized a Caspase-3 sensor, FlAsH-3W2F-TC, whose fluorescence was quenched by tryptophan inside the peptidyl sensor backbone. By studying a series of FlAsH-labeled peptide sequences, tryptophan containing peptide sequence showed higher quenching ability than histidine and phenylalanine peptide sequences; the more tryptophan the peptide sequence contains, the higher quenching efficiency we get. The quenching phenomena is based on photo-induced electron transfer(PET). The excited fluorophore relax by conducting an electron through temporary collisional molecular orbital. In trypsin model experiment, our sensor showed ~9-fold fluorescence increasing after hydrolysis; in Caspase-3 experiment, our sensor also showed significant fluorescence increasing. Finally, the application of tryptophan as a natural quencher in peptidyl fluorescent sensor is feasible and potential.


The Silver Source Control Program began in 1994 for the purpose of reducing the total silver loading at our Las Vegas Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Local businesses using any type of photo processing or X-ray processing are included in the program. A questionnaire must be completed if your business uses photochemicals. To find out if your business should be in the program, or for a copy of the Silver Source Control Policies and Procedures Manual, please contact us.
There are two types of businesses affected by the program.
Class I businesses are those that choose to have the silver rich waste shipped offsite or picked-up by a silver recycling company. Class I requirements include record keeping and reporting. An Offsite Disposal Report Form needs to be submitted by Class I businesses on an annual basis that reports how much waste photochemical solutions were disposed.
The program also offers a Best Management Practices (BMPs) option for Class II businesses. BMPs are designed for customers that have been with the program for a minimum of two years and have demonstrated continued compliance with the policies and procedures. BMPs lift the requirement for the periodic monitoring of the final effluent. If you think that your business may qualify for BMPs, please submit a BMPs questionnaire.

Sir Robert Pye (ca. 16201701)  was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1640 and 1660. He fought on the Parliamentary side in the English Civil War. He was a member of the aristocratic Pye Family.

Biography
Pye was the son of Sir Robert Pye the Elder, Auditor of the Exchequer, and his wife Mary Croker, daughter of John Croker of Batsford in Gloucestershire.

In December 1640, Pye was elected Member of Parliament for Woodstock in the Long Parliament. He was knighted by 1642. In the Civil War, he chose the Parliamentary side and became colonel of Horse in General Fairfax's regiment. In the course of the war he besieged his father's mansion at Faringdon in Berkshire (now Oxfordshire), which the latter had allowed the Royalists to garrison.  In 1648 he was excluded from parliament under Pride's Purge.

Pye was elected MP for Berkshire for the First Protectorate Parliament in  1654 and for the Third Protectorate Parliament in 1659.  He was involved in the movement for the Restoration, being one of its treasurers. In 1660 he presented a petition from the county of Berkshire, complaining of the lack of a settled form of government and as a result was committed to the Tower of London for a breach of privilege. He moved for Habeas Corpus, but judge Richard Newdigate decided that the court of King's Bench did not have the power to discharge him. When General Monck came to London, MPs passed a vote to release Pye from prison. In 1660, Pye was elected Member of Parliament for Berkshire in the Convention Parliament and after the Restoration he was nominated equerry to the king.

Family
Pye married Anne, eldest daughter of the famous parliamentarian, John Hampden, and had a family of three sons and one daughter, including Richard Pye MP and Edmund Pye MD, the great-grandfather of the poet laureate, Henry James Pye. Pye inherited his father's ruinous estates in 1662 and eventually died in December 1701 and was buried in All Saints' Church, Faringdon. His son Richard would marry Barbara Allington, and their son Richard would marry Maria Josephina von Saxe-Zeitz, a descendant of Frederick William, Elector of Brandenburg.

My submission to the CRTC re website blocking
Posted on February 19, 2018 February 19, 2018 by David Collier-Brown
I am a published author on technical subjects, and therefore a beneficiary of copyright. I have also been a close follower of the debates around website blocking and de-listing that culminated in Google Inc. v. Equustek Solutions Inc., 2017 SCC 34 (CanLII).
I would like to suggest that the CRTC not support an extra-legal mechanism for the blocking of websites and the removal of them from search services, but instead follow the Supreme Court decision in Google vs Equustek and support existing court and court-approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) approaches to stopping copyright infringement.
What we have learned from Equustek
In the Equustek case, the courts dealt with the sale of intellectual property that did not belong to the seller, in that case trade secrets, and considered the questions of:
what to do with a company who had been ordered to stop their unlawful behavior,
had fled to an unknown foreign location, and
continued to sell material they did not have rights to, and finally
whether Google, an innocent third party, could be required to not provide links to the company's pages.
This is substantially similar to the case of a movie "pirate" who uploads a copy of a file they do not have the rights to. They send a copy to a foreign site that makes it available for download, as happened here, and the requested remedy is that of blocking access to that site by a third party such as an Internet Service Provider or Google.
The company that owned the intellectual property, Equustek, asked the courts of British Columbia to do two things:
First, to prohibit the criminal company from carrying on business on the Internet, and
Second, to enjoin Google from displaying any part of the company's websites in their results, worldwide.
On appeal from Google, the Supreme Court of Canada found in favor of Equustek and granted a worldwide ban on Google displaying any part of or links to the company's websites, continuing until the criminal company was brought to trial.
How this might be applied to website blocking
In my view, the first part of Equustek is by far the strongest. The company who was selling Equustek's intellectual property was found to be acting illegally, and was enjoined from selling it world-wide.
They had the opportunity to be head by the courts, and indeed did try to defend themselves. As it happens, they fled the country when it became apparent that they were losing.
The worldwide ban put other countries on notice: the company had been found to be a criminal by a lawful court in Canada. Other countries with website-blocking or search de-indexing laws could apply their laws against the criminals and block, de-list or arrest them, according to their own rules of jurisprudence.
The second part is the blocking that has been asked for here, and can apply as much against a search provider as an ISP. This is actually a stronger defense against copyright infringement than the Asian Television Network and FairPlay Coalition have asked for.
Role of the CRTC
The CRTC can play a part, if it choses, in several roles.
It can promote compliance with the above orders, by education and routine inspection of its licensees, and report problematic issues to the courts when it encounters them.
It can encourage small businesses and individuals to take advantage of these decisions, and educate them about the processes used by major publishers such as the coalition members. One way it might do so is to encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms by small companies and individuals, both as plaintiffs and defendants of infringement actions.
And finally, the CRTC can advance all its other roles by not needing the expense of creating a non-profit tribunal to serve as a kind of court for copyright crimes. In particular, it need not suffer the expense of legal challenges from those who see such a tribunal as a means of extrajudicial censorship.

ᐅ Functions Of A Nebulizer: How Does A Nebulizer Work?
Why ultrasonic nebulizer is better than compresor?
Ultrasonic nebulizers work by producing high-frequency vibrations making waves in the liquid medication and creating a small fountain. This type of nebulizer is capable of producing a finer mist because of the vibrations enabling the medication to fully spread throughout the lungs. The small floating particles are administered to the lungs as a consistent, uniform, and fine mist. Solution medications such as Albuterol and Ipratropium may be used in the ultrasonic nebulizer. However, suspension drugs such as Budesonide may not be used due to the interaction between the suspension and the ultrasonic nebulizer. A suspension medication is a mixture composed of many large particles within a liquid, whereas a solution is a mixture composed entirely of liquid and/or dissolved solids. If a suspension drug were to be placed in an ultrasonic nebulizer the machine would not work properly, due to the limited break down of large solid particles within the suspension. For best results only solution medications may be used with ultrasonic nebulizer. Check out our web store at section nebulizers for sale to buy nebuliser.
The compressor nebulizer works by producing a pressurized jet stream that propels medicated droplets out of the nebulizer through the tube and into the facemask. With the compressor nebulizer both solutions such as Albuterol and suspensions such as Budesonide can be used. The medication is drawn up through the tube and aerolized and the remaining larger particles from the suspension are trapped by the jet mask and left behind to be broken down into smaller droplets to be reused. The compressor nebulizer is therefore, capable of breaking down the large particles within suspensions. Choosing the proper nebulizer requires information from your physician; consult with your physician and/or pharmacist to find the type of medication and which nebulizer is best suited for your prescribed inhalation treatment.
Looking to purchase a nebulizer?
If you struggle with COPD, asthma, or allergies, an ultrasonic nebulizer can help you breathe better than ever before. Don't wait another day. For a limited time you can save 25% on a medical-grade ultrasonic nebulizer, perfect for quick and timely relief. It is compact and easy to carry on the go, comes equipped with a 2-year warranty, and is virtually silent. To purchase, click here, "add to cart", and follow the on-site prompts.

Chuck Schwab on Zero Commissions
The original discount broker on why zero commissions were inevitable

When Charles Schwab announced it was cutting commissions to zero on Oct. 1, 2019, it created a seismic shift in the online broker industry. Schwab's competitors soon followed, upending the economics of the retail brokerage industry that relied on trading commissions as a source of profits for centuries. But for Schwab, the announcement was the culmination of the revolution that Chuck Schwab started in the early days of founding his eponymous firm.
I recently had the opportunity to interview Chuck Schwab to celebrate the release of his memoir, Invested: Changing Forever the Way Americans Invest, which coincided with the announcement of the elimination of trading fees.
Charles Schwab Interview
Since the late 1970's, Schwab and its competitors have been slowly lowering fees to entice more retail investors into the market. It worked. Schwab (the company) is now a multi-dimensional financial services firm that boasts $8.14 trillion in assets as of 2021 across 33.2 million accounts around the world.
While the elimination of trading fees costs the company between $80 million and $100 million in revenue per year, the original discount broker has found other ways of earning a profit since opening for business in 1973.
Chuck was one of the pioneers of low-cost trading. In 1975, he took notice that the Securities Acts Amendments of 1975 put an end to fixed trade commissions, which were as high as $80 for stocks.
The major expense had relegated investing to institutions and well-heeled investors only, but with fixed commissions now headed for the history books, Chuck Schwab, and a few other entrepreneurs, realized this opened the door for individual investors to really participate in the stock market and build their wealth.
Courtesy Schwab.com.
"We probably didn't know it at the time, but May 1, 1975, was a watershed moment for individual investors and the markets," said Schwab in 2005. "With the sudden arrival of negotiated stock trades that were less than half the cost they had been, a major barrier to investing went away for the average American."
Nearly 15 years later, Schwab, now chair of his firm, reiterated his career-long quest to eliminate trading commissions for retail investors. "I always wanted to take commissions out of the equation," he told me when I interviewed him recently in New York. "They are an encumbrance on bringing people to invest."

The move aims to expand beyond Russia and enter the Swiss market where data protection regulations are stricter.
Internet security provider Kaspersky Labs have planned to build a data center in Switzerland following the allegations of leaking private data to the Russian state. With this move, Kaspersky aims to align themselves with international community standards by facilitating transparency at the Swiss facility.
According to Kaspersky Labs, the accusations claiming that they are spying for the Russian state have tarnished their image. They also say that these claims have no proof but the concerns regarding data protection need to be addressed.
In order to respond to these allegations, Kaspersky say that they will be transferring data of their European, North American, Singaporean, South Korean and Japanese clients to their Swiss data center. They also say that they chose Switzerland over other regions since it is known for tough data privacy regulations.
With this move, Kaspersky say that they want to show their clients and their accusers that they take privacy and data security seriously. They also added that Kaspersky will be relocating some of their best programmers to Switzerland to ensure that they meet high security standards.
In a rapidly changing industry such as ours we have to adapt to the evolving needs of our clients, stakeholders and partners. Transparency is one such need, and that is why we've decided to redesign our infrastructure and move our data processing facilities to Switzerland.
We believe such action will become a global trend for cybersecurity, and that a policy of trust will catch on across the industry as a key basic requirement.
Industry experts claim that the company has been collecting sensitive data on behalf of the Russian state knowingly or unknowingly, something which is not yet proven. However, it will be interesting to see how Kaspersky Labs bounce back from this ordeal.

Every year our church has Christmas Carols on the church ground, with lots of entertainment, often including bouncy castles and a live nativity. We promote this to our local community by delivering about 6,000 invitation cards. This is a joint effort with many people taking a bundle of a few hundred cards and delivering them. We help out most years.
In the past we have walked, perhaps with the pram with one or more kids on-board. It takes somewhere from 4 to 5 hours to do the delivery run we normally choose, in large part because of the overall distance to cover.
But now that we have the bakfiets, it occurred to me that a child on board would be at about the right height to post the letters, and of course we could cover the ground more quickly. So that is what we did. Here is Isabel being super-helpful posting one of the slips. It was both lots of fun, and much faster -- we were all done in just under two hours.
Carols this year will be on the 9th December, Marion Church of Christ car park, Corner of Marion and Alawoona Avenue, Mitchell Park. Entertainment begins 5:30pm, with carols starting at 7pm.
