Jennifer Lopez refused to perform songs written near time...
By Bang Showbiz in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 29 November 2022
Jennifer Lopez Ben Affleck Zane Lowe Jennifer Garner Marc Anthony
Jennifer Lopez refused to perform songs written near the time of her break-up with Ben Affleck.
The 53-year-old singer added Ben, 50, who she married earlier this year after they reunited following decades apart following their 2003 split, is now her "biggest fan" and loves hearing all her tunes.
She told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1: "Dude, I wouldn't even perform these records. It was so painful after we broke up. Once we called off that wedding 20 years ago, it was the biggest heartbreak of my life. I honestly felt like I was going to die. It sent me on a spiral for the next 18 years where I just couldn't get it right.
"It's funny because when me and Ben got back together, he was like, 'You never performed the songs. You never did, I'm glad. You never did this, you never did that.' I was like, 'You're right. It was painful.'
"It was a part of me then that I had to put away to move on and survive. It was a survival tactic, for sure."
After Jennifer and Ben called off their wedding in 2003, Ben married Jennifer Garner in 2005, and had children Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Sam, 11, with the actress, while Jennifer had twins, Emme and Max, 14, with ex-husband Marc Anthony.
She added about Ben's love for her 2002 record 'This Is Me... Then', released months before they called off their engagement in 2003: "He loves that album. He loves that music. He knows all of the words. You know what I mean? It's crazy. He also was with me while I was creating it... he's my biggest fan, which is awesome, and supporter."
Jennifer, who is preparing to release her latest album 'This Is Me... Now', added: "That album, 'This Is Me... Then' really captured a moment in time where I fell in love with the love of my life. It's all right there on the record. I didn't even realise what was happening and what I was doing.
"It was just every day going from the set to the recording studio, doing the thing, being in love, him coming into the studio, writing 'I'm Glad' and going, 'This reminds me of...', you know what I mean?
"Me tweaking the lyrics with him. Every single song that we wrote there, me writing 'Dear Ben', it was such a special moment in time to have captured."
But she said the 2002 album was "prophetic" as it seemed to foreshadow her and Ben's split after it was released.
Jennifer added: "I decided to call it 'This Is Me... Then' – this moment in time was captured of finding your soulmate in that time and it's all there.
"When I listen to the lyrics now, I didn't even realise I was writing some of our story that would happen, which was sick still.
"Some of the records on there, which were more obvious about Ben, but even records that you were like, 'That's a breakup record' – I didn't even realise that it was prophetic in a weird way."
Jennifer also told how Ben had the message "Not. Going. Anywhere" inscribed on her engagement ring, saying: "Because that's how he would sign his emails when we started talking again. Like, 'Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere.'"

Q: How to integrate Buttons and Links into a Text in SwiftUI I wondered how to add Buttons and Links to a SwiftUI Text. Some Example: In a long Text, some special Words are Buttons, or Links, like  in a Wikipedia Article:

There are some of the Words blue marked as links, how can I reach that in SwiftUI?
Thanks, Boothosh

A: I know the pain! I have spend a lot of time on internet reading articles on how to do the same and came across the easiest solution.
Reference for the solution here
1. Add TextView(...) to your project
/// Text view with click able links
struct TextView: UIViewRepresentable {

    @Binding var text: String
    @Binding var textStyle: UIFont.TextStyle

    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView {
        let textView = UITextView()

        textView.delegate = context.coordinator
        textView.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: textStyle)
        textView.autocapitalizationType = .sentences
        textView.isSelectable = true
        textView.isUserInteractionEnabled = true
        textView.isEditable = false
        textView.dataDetectorTypes = .link

        return textView
    }

    func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextView, context: Context) {
        uiView.text = text
        uiView.font = UIFont.preferredFont(forTextStyle: textStyle)
    }

    func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator {
        Coordinator($text)
    }

    class Coordinator: NSObject, UITextViewDelegate {
        var text: Binding<String>

        init(_ text: Binding<String>) {
            self.text = text
        }

        func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {
            self.text.wrappedValue = textView.text
        }
    }
}

Full Usage:
    struct DetailsView: View {
@State var text : String = "Yo.. try https://google.com"
@State private var textStyle = UIFont.TextStyle.body

var body: some View {
        TextView(text: $text, textStyle: $textStyle)
  }

The Right Time and Right Place for ALDs
May 5, 2008 | Assistive Devices | 0 |
Ragnar Ahgren, CEO of Comfort Audio
Although the picturesque town of Halmstad, Sweden—home of assistive listening device (ALD) manufacturer Comfort Audio—was the site of several historic battles between Sweden and Denmark, the company's CEO Ragnar Ahgren insists that he's not in business to fight for market share with hearing instrument manufacturers in Denmark—or any other country. On the contrary, he sees ALDs and hearing aids as unifying products that are essential to each other, and makes it clear that the company develops only ALDs. "By not competing with hearing aid makers, but rather developing products that are either a complement to hearing aids or a substitute for those patients not yet ready for hearing aids, we see our products as easy to recommend, easy to service, and a natural fit for hearing care practices," Ahgren says.
Comfort Audio was founded in 1994 by two Swedish engineers, August Pansell and Carljohan Lagervall, who initially saw a need for an assistive listening device that could be used in conference rooms and the workplace. They produced the company's first product, Comfort Conference, an infrared ALD system. Gradually, with each commercial success, Pansell and Lagervall built a suite of ALD products that included ComLink, a complete system for children with hearing impairment, and Selecta, an FM system—all products offered primarily in Scandinavia.
Ahgren, an engineer who has served as the CEO of Comfort Audio for the past 6 years, first observed the progress of the company with the eyes of a competitor while he was employed for 16 years at the assistive devices division of AB Transistor (a GN Nord company). In 2002, Ahlgren joined Comfort Audio, becoming only its eighth employee. Sales almost doubled in 2003 and the company soon moved to larger premises. "Our goal from the start has been to be a leader and to be the best choice regarding ALDs for people with hearing impairment," Ahlgren says.
Although it is now a well-established manufacturer of pediatric, FM, and ALD systems in Europe, the company only recently opened its North American headquarters in Los Angeles, with its main focus on the ALD market for adults—especially those involved in the business world or who need affordable listening help at home.
Comfort Audio's staff in Halmstad, Sweden, has more than tripled in less than 6 years.
ALDs: Right Time, Right Place
According to the company, the majority of the 31.5 million people with hearing loss in the United States are currently not using any hearing devices for reasons that usually involve cost, comfort, and cosmetics. Hearing aids are sometimes expensive, and uncomfortable to wear, and some consumers, especially those with milder losses, find that the aids do not provide enough benefit and sound quality relative to cost.
Comfort Audio's recent success, according to Algren, is linked to its lifestyle and consumer orientation. In Europe, the company initially found dispensers and the industry servicing consumers who had the most acute hearing needs: typically the very old. In contrast, the company sees its main customers as younger people, or at least those young at heart. And they view these people as customers, not as patients who have a "disability" or "hearing loss."
Comfort Contego.
It contends that dispensing professionals who recognize the value of offering affordable and attractive solutions for people not yet ready for hearing aids will establish a bond with future hearing aid purchasers. "Comfort Audio is taking aim at the issue of affordable pricing and at key issues of design," Ahgren says. "Our success so far in Europe and international markets is based on three fundamental design philosophies: 1) Uncompromised technology and sound quality; 2) Sophisticated style and attractive designs; and 3) Affordability and products that are priced for different buyers."
Overcoming the Objections
Most experts in aural rehabilitation and amplification acknowledge the value of ALDs. So why haven't ALDs become a more popular product with consumers and dispensing professionals worldwide?
"It's up to [ALD manufacturers], of course, to make high-quality products that work as intended," Ahgren says. "But it's also necessary to develop attractive designs—similar to iPods, MP3 players, and cellphones—that appeal to people whether they have a hearing impairment or not. The goal is to get everyone to say, 'Gee, that's nice; I like that.' Let's face it, years ago, we had some relatively ugly black boxes that conveyed the message of a 'handicap.' That's disastrous, in my opinion. We really need to make these devices using the latest technology on the inside, but also employ appealing designs that promote ease of use on the outside."
Ahgren contends that virtually everybody has at least some knowledge about hearing aids, but this is not necessarily the situation for ALDs. And this can be a distinct advantage for shaping consumer perceptions. "For example," he says, "many are unaware that microphone listening systems, alerting devices, and loop systems even exist. These products represent real value and interest to consumers, even if the systems may require some explanation. For this reason, it's very important [for our company] to create a good, simple package with a transmitter and receiver. The products need to be very easy to understand and use for the consumer, as well as for the entire distribution channel. It should also be understood by everyone that the device can be used with or without a hearing aid."
Comfort Duett.
An example where Comfort Audio's design technology is evident is Comfort Contego™, a high-definition digital wireless FM system. The look of the small units, including easy-to-read digital screens, makes it an attractive electronic device. Contego features built-in microphones that are adjustable for sound customization with omni/directional settings based on the listening condition. The volume for the transmitter can be remotely adjusted from the receiver.
"The Contego has a digital transfer [of signals] that has almost no delay compared to Bluetooth," says Algren. "Also, you can't eavesdrop on the system because the microphone and receiver are paired together much in the same way as Bluetooth. Some of these systems are now being used for courtrooms, boardrooms, and police stations, where people shouldn't be allowed to eavesdrop."
Comfort Duett™, a small affordable personal amplifier, looks like an MP3 player. In addition to the strong amplification (up to 60 dB), the device is said to provide high sound quality and to be integrated into home audio equipment, such as TVs, stereos, and standard telephones. It also has a rechargeable battery and a recharging unit.
"We thought we should have something special for people at work, and particularly at home, where people could have a high-power, high-quality amplifier for those not quite ready for a hearing aid—or to complement hearing aid use."
A good tactic in unifying the strengths and benefits of ALDs and hearing aids.

When we first wrote about the issue of First Responder Communications in December, 2005, we were deeply distressed by the city's Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications lack of progress on this issue. The inability to communicate between the police and fire departments was a contributing factor in the death toll on September 11th and we were concerned that if the City didn't act, and act soon, the outcome would be sadly predictable.
In May 2006, we wrote a followup, detailing the City's new plans for a six-month test between two competing technologies. The next month, Mayor Bloomberg appointed Paul J. Cosgrave as DoITT Commissioner, replacing an Acting Commissioner. Since then, even if it's not as swift as we would have liked, there appears to have been real progress in what is by any measure a difficult technological challenge.
The City has committed $1 billion of local taxpayer money since the attacks to improving public safety voice and data communication networks. In September 2006, it contracted Northrop Grumman to build a high-speed data network for public safety at a projected cost of $500 million. The network, known as the New York City Wireless Network (NYCWiN), is operational now in lower Manhattan where agencies continue testing. The network is designed to provide first responders with real-time video, rapid database lookup, graphics (maps, blueprints, mugshots), and to share the information immediately among multiple agencies. Still being worked out are automated meter reading, automatic vehicle location technologies, and wireless traffic signal control.
The plan is to launch NYCWiN citywide this summer. While the proof of the network's efficacy won't be known with absolute certainty until there is a crisis, we applaud the city's commitment to fixing that lethally outmoded system.

All NYPD patrol officers now wear body cameras
Footage will be made public, despite PBA efforts
March 6, 2019 By Mary Frost

All New York City uniformed cops on patrol are now equipped with body cameras, NYPD announced on Wednesday.
The footage from those cameras will be available to the public, following a February ruling from a state appeals court. The Police Benevolent Association had sought to block its release, claiming that the images were the personal records of the officers and making them public could lead to an invasion of privacy and threats, but the court shot that reasoning down. "NYPD has begun reviewing relevant footage in order to respond to FOIL requests," the department said.
Police Commissioner James O'Neill said the cameras would increase transparency and encourage "lawful and respectful interactions between the public and the police."
"The NYPD has worked incredibly hard to build trust and strengthen relationships in the communities we serve, as we continue to improve accountability and transparency in everything we do," O'Neill said in a statement.
The body camera program launched in April 2017. Since its rollout began, NYPD has recorded over 3.5 million videos.
Police officers are required to activate the body cameras — which are roughly the size of a flip-phone — when conducting actions such as making an arrest, issuing a summons, conducting searches or stopping a person on the street in the course of an investigation.
NYPD said that cops have received training in how to operate the cameras, and have also participated in role-play scenarios to get accustomed to the proper use of the cameras.
The force is transitioning to a different model body camera after one of the original models exploded. The officer was not wearing it at the time. In October, NYPD suspended the use of almost 3,000 LE-5 model cameras, and began transitioning to Axon cameras.
In addition to cops on patrol, roughly 4,000 body cams are being distributed to specialized units such as Emergency Services Unit, Strategic Response Group and Critical Response Command. These units should be equipped by August.

New York City's most populous borough, Brooklyn, is home to nearly 2.6 million residents. If Brooklyn were an independent city it would be the fourth largest city in the United States. While Brooklyn has become the epitome of 'cool and hip' in recent years, for those that were born here, raised families here and improved communities over the years, Brooklyn has never been 'uncool'.

Definition: By the term 'business risk' we mean the uncertainty with respect to firm's operations. It is a type of systematic risk wherein there is a volatility associated with the future income or earnings arising from events, circumstances, conditions, action, or inactions that hinders the attainment of goals and objectives and carry out the strategies.
Business risk refers to the anticipation that the firm may earn lower than expected profits or even suffer losses, because of the uncertainties inherent in the business such as competition, change in customer tastes and preferences, input cost, change in government policies, and so forth. It may impede the business ability to provide returns on the investment.
Internal Risk: The risks that emerge as a result of the events occurring within the organization is termed as an internal risk. These risks can be predicted as the possibility of their incidence, and so, they are controllable in nature.They arise due to factors like strikes & lockouts by a trade union, accidents in the factory, negligence of workers, failure of the machine, technological obsolescence, damages to the goods, fire outbreak, etc.
External Risk: The risk arising as a result of the events external to the firm and so the firm's management has no control over it. So, these cannot be forecasted easily. It may arise due to price fluctuations, changes in customer taste, earthquake, floods, changes in government regulations, riots, etc.
Standard Deviation of the Basic Earning Power Ratio helps in the measurement of Business Risk.
Strategic Risk: The risks related to the business strategies, plans and tactics, as there is uncertainty with respect to their successful implementation, it is called a strategic risk.
Financial Risk: The risk added to the shareholders, when the company uses debt financing along with equity, is termed as a financial risk.
Operational Risk: When the company fails in performing day to day operations properly, then operational risk arises.
Compliance Risk: Such risks are related to the need of the firm to adhere to government rules, regulations and policies.
Reputation Risk: The reputation risk arises due to any of the previous business risks or by negative publicity with respect to a misleading advertisement, lawsuit etc.
Apart from those given above, there are some other risks related to natural calamities like floods, earthquake, droughts, etc. which also affects the business at large.

The elaborate 18th century Captain Cook shipwreck mock-up with a wooden plank hull of 890 mm Billing Boats. 1:50 scale kit for experienced builders
Model: 3BB5014
Brand: Billing Boats
In the early 50s Danish architect and former wartime RAF pilot Ejnar Billing exhibited a self-made model of a fishing boat in the window hobby store belonging to his wife. After the photo of the model appeared in a magazine, Mr. Billing overwhelmed in order to position dozens of pieces of the same model. Because it was not in his power so much to handle, it occurred to him that the boat will offer a kit - the first mass-produced kit with wooden frames with the keel, ribs and planking hull design mimicking the most real ship. This method of construction is quickly befriended by Mr billing models and began to conquer the world. In 1958, then founded the company bearing the family name still Billing Boats. Over the years, the design perfected and upgraded models in the '60s introduced the use of plastic moldings hulls, then embarked on CNC machines at the turn of the 80s and 90s in Billing Boats started to benefit from laser cutting parts. Today the company manages the third generation billing and floating RC models and mock-leafing table still represents the ultimate in marine modeling.
We are pleased to offer a series of kits Billing Boats from which you can build sophisticated exquisite detail leafing models and create a stylish complement your interior with salty smell of the sea and the call of faraway places ...
HMS Endeavour 1:50
Future HMS Endeavour was launched in 1764 and served as a freighter for transporting coal under the name Earl of Pembroke. It was then purchased by the Royal Navy and adapted for the purposes of sailing around the world, which was in addition to exploring the main objective observations of the transit (transit) of Venus in Tahiti. It was an event of paramount importance while repeating twice in eight years, but then only after more than a century. Thanks to the method previously devised by astronomer Edmund Halley allow very accurately determine the distance between the Earth and the Sun, and hence the dimensions of the entire solar system. Transit in 1769 were preparing an expedition of scientists at various locations around the world to be able to make as many measurements regardless of the weather.
Under the command of Captain James Cook in August 1768 Endeavour sailed from Plymouth, Cape Horn and circumnavigate while sailing across the Pacific discovered a whole series of hitherto unknown islands. In Tahiti, the expedition was timely and in early June the planned astronomical observations and measurements during the transit of Venus. In September 1769 Endeavour docked at the shores of New Zealand, who circumnavigated the whole and comprehensively mapped. In doing so, he discovered the strait between the North and the South Island, which now bears the name of Cook. In April 1770 Endeavour sailed to the coast of Australia in Sydney today; Captain Cook stepped ashore in the Gulf, which for the wonderful wealth of plants named Botany bay (Botany Bay). The ship then sailed along the eastern Australian coast to the north. Narrowly escaped the fatal shipwreck on the Great Barrier Reef; Seven weeks after makeshift repairs on the beach, then hobbled to the Dutch Batavia (today Djakarta) on the island of Java. After a thorough repair of the local docks Endeavour continued its voyage to the west; in March 1771 he rounded the Cape of Good Hope and eventually docked in Dover, England July 12, 1771 after a nearly three-year voyage. While Captain Cook became one of the greatest explorers of all time, Endeavour returned to freight; For years, he sailed between England and the Falkland Islands and eventually the British in 1778 during the American War of Independence intentionally sunk as a blockade ship in the Gulf Narragansettském. HMS Endeavour is intended for advanced boat builders; It is designed as a non-floating table mockup. < / I>

Bruno Walter Quotations
Bruno Walter
Bruno Walterwas a German-born conductor, pianist and composer. Born in Berlin, he left Germany in 1933 to escape the Third Reich, settling finally in the United States in 1939. He worked closely with Gustav Mahler, whose music he helped to establish in the repertory, held major positions with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, New York Philharmonic, Concertgebouw Orchestra, Salzburg Festival, Vienna State Opera, Bavarian State Opera, Staatsoper Unter den Linden and Deutsche Oper Berlin, among others, made recordings of historical and...

It is glorious to become a learner again at my time of life.
Technique Quotes
By concentrating on precision, one arrives at technique, but by concentrating on technique one does not arrive at precision.
The works of the creative spirit last, they are essentially imperishable, while the world-stirring historical activities of even the most eminent men are circumscribed by time.
There is no task of greater importance than to give our children the very best preparation for the demands of an ominous future, a preparation which aims at the methodical cultivation of their spiritual and their moral gifts. As long as the exemplary work of the Waldorf School Movement continues to spread its influence as it has done over the past decades, we can all look forward with hope. I am sure that Rudolf Steiner's work for children must be considered a central contribution to the twentieth century and I feel it deserves the support of all freedom-loving thinking people.
Napoleon is dead - but Beethoven lives.
Music springs from and is replenished by a hidden source which lies outside the world or reality. Music ever spoke to me of a mysterious world beyond, which moved my heart deeply and eloquently intimated its transcendental nature.
I have increasingly become conversant with Pythagoras' and Goethe's idea of a primordial music, not perceptible to the sensuous ear, but sounding and soaring throughout the cosmos. Tracing it to such exalted origins, I begin to understand more deeply the essence of our art and its elemental power over the human soul. Man, being a creature of Nature and subject to the cosmic influences that inform all earthly beings, must needs have been under the sway of that music from his earliest days; his organism reverberated with its vibrations and received it's rhythmic impulses.
Our music, whose eternal being is forever bound up in its temporal sounds, is not merely an art, enriching beyond measure our cultural life, but also a message from higher worlds, raising and urging us on by it's reminders of our own eternal origins.
The domain of rhythm extends from the spiritual to the carnal.
Activities Quotes

Brings Quotes
Our inmost yearning, our deep desire for harmony in an extra-musical, transcendental sense feels affirmed, confirmed and calmed by music, and in this sense music seems to me a message a lofty ethical message that brings good tidings to the ethical part of our being from the mysteries of the world of sound.

Do you Need Drug Rehab in Fort Gillem, GA?
Are you or someone you care about battling an addiction?
There are many drug and/or alcohol addiction treatments are for 4-5 months, or even longer. While it depends on the individual, recovery generally takes several weeks to several months of dedicated drug or alcohol rehab to comprehensively address the elemental reasons for alcohol/drug abuse. Recovering from drug/alcohol dependency is assumed to be a 30 day long therapy. Nevertheless, it can vary by substance recovery location. It is true that there are 30 day drug dependency treatments, but a large number of them are for a longer length of time, because circumstances can differ greatly five or six month drug rehabs generally tend to to have the longest lasting results.
Drug or alcohol addiction treatment involves major changes in lifestyle and way of life. Often, chemical dependency occurs in tandem with emotional issues or trauma. Drug and/or alcohol addiction is a hurtful ailment that affects both mind and body. Accordingly, our teams will have to deal with the two respective facets of recovery.
What's often found in rehabilitations from alcohol/drugs dependency that endure are a detox, outpatient rehabilitation, continual rehabilitation at home, and rehabilitation at a local center. Attend a long term rehab, if you have the opportunity to. We certainly urge you to go, because many can't because they just aren't in a situation to do so. Since they assist their patients to thoroughly alter their way of life, alcohol, prescription drug, and/or illicit drug rehab facilities that address recovering from drug/alcohol addictions in a comprehensive manner encourage a greater degree of recovery. This is is usually exactly what is necessary to have long-lasting results.
Learning the most powerful guidelines and practices such as good tension and worry handling methods, relationship skills, and establishing healthy boundaries with family and friends, tremendously improves your chances of a sustained recovery with minimal regression.
Using the latest alcohol and/or drug addiction treatment programs, our experienced, caring, and certified professionals rehabilitate patients from alcohol or drug addictions. All throughout and after your rehab, we're here for you with the most effective plans of action and systems to handle the obstacles you may possibly face. We can offer you a real path to recovery. We'd love to discuss your personal needs and plan for your path to recovery. Take the first essential phase calling us at our center.


Data security is a very important concern in any enterprise solution supporting the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Sarbanes Oxley, PII (names, driver licenses, financial data, social security number), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requirements, and several others. While we can find a lot of solutions to protect data in transit (on the wire) such as SSL and related protocols; data at rest (on the file system) has been a real risk concern in MySQL for several solutions in the past. Without data encryption at rest, someone with access to the file system can see the data without any database-level privilege using traditional Unix commands such as strings and xxd.
In order to protect sensitive data, MySQL 5.7 has introduced the capability for encrypting data in the InnoDB engine.
In this article, I'll explain how to encrypt data using a walkthrough to illustrate the related principles and concepts.
Although we have several alternatives for data encryption, such as application-level encryption and filesystem encryption, it can be very expensive to encrypt the whole file system when we only need to protect a part of it; also, it's not always possible to change the code and develop an application-level encryption mechanism. In these scenarios it is very important to use database-level encryption.
Transparent to DBAs. Keys are not managed by the DBAs.
Key Management. Keys can be securely stored away from the data and key rotation is very simple.
It's notable that MySQL 5.7 encrypts only InnoDB tables, leaving the following files exposed: binlogs, redo logs, relay logs on unencrypted slaves, slow log, error log, general log, and audit log.
Another point to consider is to protect the master key inside the keyfile. If the master key is comprised, then the data security mechanism is open for leaks. So the solution is to place a keyfile on a partition that can be unmounted when MySQL starts (a directory mounted only during database startup). It's very important not to lose the keyfile along with the master key, because the data won't be unencrypted.
Let's start by allowing encryption on MySQL by adding the following options to the my.cnf configuration file as shown in listing 01.
Next step is to start the service and verify that the plugin is active as shown in listing 02.
We can check the settings as shown in listing 03.
In order to encrypt tables in InnoDB, we need to make sure that the innodb_file_per_table option is ON as shown in listing 04.
In case the option is OFF, we need to add the following options to the my.cnf configuration file as shown in listing 05 and restart the service.
Let's see the encryption in action. Let's create a table for storing sensitive data as shown in listing 06.
Let's add a row to this table as shown in listing 07.
Now, let's use the strings command to extract each string of printable characters in the binary data file related to the sensitive_data_tb table as shown in listing 08.
We can also check that the keyfile is empty (there is no master key) as shown in the listing 09.
In order to encrypt the data in the sensitive_data_tb table, we need to alter the table as shown in the listing 10.
If we try to print the strings inside the sensitive_data_tb table, now we can see that the data is encrypted and it's not possible to see it from the file system, as shown in listing 11.
Although we cannot see the data from the file system, we can see the data from MySQL using a traditional SQL statement without anything special on it, as shown in listing 12.
We can also verify that a master key is generated by MySQL, as shown in listing 13.
We can also rotate the master key by executing the alter instance statement as shown in the listing 14.
We can verify this rotation by checking the timestamp of the keyfile as shown in listing 15.
Finally, if we want to know the list of encrypted tables, we can do it using the following query, as shown in listing 16.
In this article, I've explained the principles and concepts related to data encryption at rest on the database level in new versions of MySQL. I've also illustrated the ideas through real-world examples. Now you can apply these ideas and this demo to your own solution to protect sensitive data.

WILBRON v. HUTTO
Tommy Lee WILBRON, Appellant, v. Terrell Don HUTTO, Commissioner, Arkansas Department of Correction, et al., Appellees.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.https://leagle.com/images/logo.png
Submitted January 10, 1975.
Decided January 28, 1975.
Tommy Lee Wilbron, pro se.
James Guy Tucker, Atty. Gen., and Michael S. Gorman, Asst. Atty. Gen., Little Rock, Ark., for appellee.
Before MATTHES, Senior Circuit Judge, and STEPHENSON and WEBSTER, Circuit Judges.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Tommy Lee Wilbron, an inmate at the Cummins Unit of the Arkansas Department of Correction, brought this civil rights complaint against the Commissioner of Correction alleging the denial of adequate medical care.
Specifically, appellant claims that a physician at the Arkansas State Hospital informed appellant that he would need an operation on his injured hand; that the prison officials have not returned him to the hospital for the required surgery; that prison officials have refused appellant any further medical treatment; and that they have forced him to work in the fields causing further pain and injury to his hand.1
The district court2 secured appellant's medical records from the prison. Upon examination of the records along with appellant's pro se complaint the court determined that no federal claim had been stated and dismissed the complaint, saying in part:
The medical records of the Cummins Unit reveal that the physician at the Arkansas State Hospital stated that the petitioner might require an exploratory operation, but that he had doubts as to the benefits to be derived from such an operation. These records also reveal that the petitioner has been seen by prison medical personnel several times since his last trip to State Hospital and was examined and X-rayed by the prison physician as recently as June 4, 1974. In light of this record and inasmuch as it appears that petitioner is receiving medical attention from the respondents, what remains is a mere disagreement between the petitioner and the prison physician as to what treatment is necessary for his care. In such cases, the Court should rely on the reports of the prison physician and leave the matter to his judgment. (Citing cases.)
Of course, a prisoner's pro se petition should not be dismissed unless it appears beyond doubt that the plaintiff can prove no set of facts in support of his claim which would entitle him to relief. Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519, 92 S.Ct. 594, 30 L.Ed.2d 652 (1972).
This court has recognized that "a charge of deliberate indifference by prison authorities to a prisoner's request for essential medical treatment is sufficient to state a claim." Freeman v. Lockhart, 503 F.2d 1016 (8th Cir. 1974), citing Corby v. Conboy, 457 F.2d 251 (2d Cir. 1972).
Allegations of mere negligence in the treatment of a prisoner's condition or claims based upon differences of opinion over matters of medical judgment fail to state a federal constitutional question absent exceptional circumstances. Jones v. Lockhart, 484 F.2d 1192 (8th Cir. 1973); Cates v. Ciccone, 422 F.2d 926 (8th Cir. 1970).
We find that the district court acted properly in securing appellant's medical records. Cf. Cates v. Ciccone, supra. It may well be, as the trial court found, that in light of the record what remains is a mere disagreement between the petitioner and the prison physician as to what treatment is necessary. Under such circumstances the petitioner could obviously prove no set of facts which would entitle him to relief in federal court.
However, from the record before this court it is impossible to determine the truth or falsity of appellant's claim that he was "forced to go to work as though he had no injury" without the requisite medical release. Judge Henley made no specific finding on this point.
We remand. The district court should determine on remand whether appellant was returned to work without medical authorization from the prison physician.
1. Other contentions are raised for the first time on appeal. We express no view on these contentions.
2. The Honorable J. Smith Henley, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas.

Putin's Plutocratic Puppet and the Specter of an American Gulag
Charlie Barber '60
The High Plains Reader, Fargo, ND, August 15, 2018
Reprinted by permission of the author and The High Plains Reader
Charlie Barber '60
"Liberty is a strong food, but a difficult one to digest; it needs a healthy stomach. I laugh at those degraded people who, letting conspirators incite them to rise in arms, dare to speak of liberty, without having even a notion of what it is; who, with hearts a prey to all the vices of slaves, imagine that to be free they need only be rebels."
– Jean Jacques Rousseau
"If…If…We didn't love freedom enough."
– Alexsandr I. Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
"He would never be able to live in a democracy, no matter how diluted a form it took. The uniform – the esprit de corps, the ideology – he had worn since he joined the KGB as recruit in his twenties had become an outer skin as far as he was concerned. And he could not shed his skin. What would be left of him if he did?"
– Henning Mankell
"I do not believe that we are helpless. We can turn things around. In order to do so, the American people must counter malaise with an open and honest national conversation about the issues that confront us today. Then we must unite and act."
– Aaron Jaffe (quoted in Charles M. Barber, Judge Aaron Jaffe: Reforming Illinois, A Progressive Tackles State Government, 1970-2015)
"Investigating serious crimes meant putting the rest of one's life on hold."
There are all kinds of ways to overthrow constitutional freedoms and Democracy by using democratic means and legal levers. One of the first "how to destroy democracy" books available for use by 20th Century tyrants was Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf." But the warnings of wise men and women about such tactics go as far back as Ancient Greece: Thucydides, Aristophanes, Plato and Aristotle.
The greatest dangers to freedom and democracy, however, are to be found in civic laziness and lack of self control and common sense: a failure to use the gifts of freedom, voting, agitating, organizing and door to door persuasion on a daily basis to sustain hard fought freedoms into the future. But finally, in 2018, a critical mass of Americans has awakened to the dangers of a dissolution of our Constitution and its 200 Year old vision for democracy.
Our First Branch of Government, the Legislative one, is in the grip of a bunch of tight assed, white, male yahoos, who claim to be Christians, but don't remotely "love their neighbor" in any recognizably biblical sense. Too many disciples of the gospel of greed as preached by Harvard Business School and Yale Law School are in charge of the nation's finances and economic well being (see Steven Brill, Tailspin: The People and Forces Behind America's Fifty-Year Fall-and Those Fighting to Reverse It). Too many moral cowards among the Majority Republicans in Congress have preached "family values," while neglecting the fate of abused children at our Land Grant Universities at Penn State and Michigan State; not to mention the forced separation of babies, children and their parents in the name of "Making America Great Again."
Our Second Branch of Government, the Executive, is headed by a pussy grabbing, serial liar, Donald Trump, who is proud to flaunt those defects in his defense of sworn enemies of the American way of life, Vladimir Putin of Russia, and Kim Jong Un of North Korea.
Our Third Branch of Government, the Judiciary, has long been the battleground between those who would expand our freedom to choose among the sacred options of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and those who would restrict human freedoms to conform with a rigid doctrine, dogma, or ideology of their own. As we focus upon the July 4th holiday this year amidst the blowing off of firecrackers, one wonders if by this time next July 4th, 2019, we might not have blown up the reason for celebrating in the first place.
I am one of the few people in Mandan, ND, who does not blow up his yard and street with M-80's, Cherry Bombs and "rockets red glare," but I truly enjoy the spectacle from my little hill while my neighbors do it. This is the same hill where I often meet my KGB canine friends, and they agreed to pay me a visit. This time they brought along an old friend from Cook County, Illinois, "Chicago Dog," whom I knew from 50 years ago when we sniffed out and snuffed out voter suppression in Chicago the old fashioned way; going door to door and asking each citizen for their support on election day.
High Plains Reader: Hello Old Friends! We live in interesting times. I'm worried about my country and the way that Trump sells us out to dictators and oligarchs. Is it really as bad as it looks?
Putin: No. Things can always get worse, like they did in the old Soviet Russia and still do in Vladimir Putin's "new," but not that much improved Russia.
Rasputin: Thank God for the World Cup! Real money coming into Russia that isn't based on oil, gas, extortion, intimidation, or the suborning of Donald Trump. Besides, in the U.S., you've always had oligarchs selling out middle class democracy. They're known as Wall Street and D.C. corporate lobbyists.
HPR: You mean Trump's most intimate friends! It looks as if our Supreme Court loves this venal 1% of the nation and their dark money as much as Trump and the Republican Congress seem to adore them. What can ordinary people do?
Chicago Dog: Vote Democrat stupid! Even rich Republican women know it this year, if only for the sake of their daughters and granddaughters. Fall back a bit if you want to become an octogenarian in good health! You have reinforcements. Unlike too many folks in the past few political generations, young people and women of all ages have finally figured out that they have to get off their collective asses and organize like we did against the old Daley machine in the 1970's, and like the Tea Party did in 2010 in support of their racist and anarchist agenda.
HPR: But young people and all too many minorities have never really showed up in off-Presidential years to vote. Tight asses always do. I'm one of them.
Rasputin: Relax. (Special Counsel) Robert Mueller is a tight ass about the rule of law, just like you are about freedom and equality. He also has plenty of company in the executive, legislative, and judicial branches, and the press, who are fighting the good bureaucratic, legal, logistical, expositional, and rhetorical fight.
HPR: But Trump has this thing for dictators in general and Putin in particular. And, as the President of the United States, he and his Congressional allies are doing everything in their power to short circuit Mueller's investigation into Trump's venality and treasonous behavior.
Chicago Dog: True enough. Things may well get worse for the Republic, before they get better. The good news is that Trump is a colossal physical, mental, and moral coward. He can't handle any sort of truth, large or small. While it is true this made him vulnerable to Vladimir Putin years ago, it also makes him vulnerable to the daily pressures of the Presidency in a still functioning democracy.
Rasputin: The old saying that "when you have them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow," is true for Putin's hold on Trump. But it is also true for Republicans who have any desire to remain in Congress in 2018, with hundreds and thousands of voting age citizens organizing and raising hell on their office and home doorsteps. Even Trump/Putin propaganda outlets like FOX news are forced to let truths spoil their day in this remarkable year.
HPR: What about the truth of separating babies and children from their mothers and fathers and putting them in cages? That's what Trump has done with his war on helpless Central American victims of U.S. corporate politics and "war on drugs" idiocy of the past 80 years?
Putin: Hey! There's good money to be made in the private prison business from America's drug and legal hypocrisy, and the human misery it produces. What was good for Al Capone in the days of Prohibition, has been good for his successors among the drug cartels, opioid pushers, and their political enablers in the U.S.
Rasputin: The prisons of our soul are reflected in the prisons that we let men get rich off of, due to our failure to welcome children of the best and brightest of the world who would enrich our heritage; as well as welcome our own children into a world free of the drugs of hatred and intolerance.
HPR: I feel that President Trump has brought out the worst in us; that he is a national enemy of all that our Founding Fathers had stood and hoped for.
Chicago Dog: Actually, Trump is more like a national enema: a wake up call to get the shit of bigotry and itch to control other people's lives out of our system.
It's hard work to go door to door in search of Americans who will vote for the kind of progress that we say we believe in every July 4th holiday. But it is the only way that has worked in the past to prevent us from sinking into a sea of violence. And it is the only way to save American democracy in 2018 and in the years to come.

Arab youth
Aspirations for the New Year
Arab youth express their hopes and wishes for the New Year, spanning everything from civil and political rights, to education, to arts and culture. By Rafiah Al Talei
Arab youth want to see fundamental changes in political and civil rights, the economy, education, technology and peace and conflict resolution in the Middle East and North Africa. This has been illustrated in a mini poll conducted by Sada that sought to explore young Arabs' priorities and what they consider essential to improve political, economic, and social conditions in their countries.
The participants' answers varied according to each country and its unique circumstances, but it is remarkable that the youth in their entirety agreed that the participation of young people in political and economic decision-making, the reduction of unemployment rates, the improvement of economic conditions, and the liberation of Arab markets from rentier economic systems are among the basic factors necessary for state stability and preventing political turmoil. Civil and political rights enshrined under the rule of law and existing alongside social justice topped the list of demands, as well as respect for freedom of opinion and expression and the upholding of human rights. Economic development and creating suitable economic environments for young people ranked second in the list of demands that Arab youth want in the new year.
In Arab countries experiencing armed conflict such as Yemen, Syria, and Libya, ending their respective wars and conflicts has been a top priority, in addition to restoring peace and stability. Improving the economy was their second priority, closely followed by improving the education system, ensuring public freedoms, and respecting human rights.
Arab youth's top priorities
* Guaranteeing civil and political rights
* Developing the economy and reducing unemployment
* Improving education and promoting technological advancement
* Ending wars and division/peace and stability
* Respecting women's rights
* Sponsoring/supporting culture and arts
We received 79 submissions from 19 Arab countries, with the most participation coming from Jordan (12), Morocco (10), Iraq (10), and then Yemen and Libya (6 each). The rest of the Arab countries were represented by a range of one to four participants. Most of the participants were females, with 44 young women participating in the survey, while 35 young men participated. The participation varied between 32 written responses and 46 recorded video responses.
Women participated in 27 video responses and 17 written responses, while men participated in 19 video responses and 16 written responses. It should be noted that the lists of priorities did not differ much between male and female participants. The order of priorities were uniform, but a focus on women's rights and supporting culture and the arts appeared in the female participants' lists only.
Sada asked participants, aged 21-35 years, this question: What change would you like to see in your country next year? And why do you think this change is important to your country and its citizens? The educational and employment backgrounds of the participants varied, along with the regions and cities they come from. Ultimately, however, their concerns and aspirations settled on providing a safe environment for youth to engage in political participation and decision-making, as well as respecting freedom of opinion, expression, and the press.
In addition, the participants emphasised combatting political and economic corruption, distributing wealth more equitably, decreasing unemployment and ensuring social justice. Youth also agreed on improving education levels and curricula in their respective countries, as well as supporting their information technology sectors to keep up with rapid technological development currently taking place in the world. Arab youth's responses and wide-ranging aspirations for the new year are exhibited in the following videos and text.

Lymphedema patients may consider liposuction as a treatment for reducing fat tissue. Liposuction is a technique which removes fat through a small metal cannula. Liposuction has been used for cosmetic purposes for almost 30 years and is known as the safest cosmetic plastic surgery procedure.
In 2014 363,912 liposuction procedures were performed in America according to American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) – making liposuction the highest elected cosmetic plastic surgery.
Lymphatic liposuction lymphedema surgery is different than cosmetic liposuction in that address both the solid and fluid components of chronic lymphedema swelling.
