Sometimes we all are confused about which editor I use for programming and website development. In case of my time I really confused about text editor but after a long time, long distance I found a perfect text editor for me. That editor perfect for doing my work. So let's see some best editor, that I personally used.
Sublime Text Editor is one of the best editors in the market. It is a free, lightweight and awesome text editor.
It is an alternative to powerful IDE. And it manages the code perfectly and beautifully. Editor theme is awesome and visible. And lots of extensions are available for that.
Personally, I try this editor but I don't like their features so much because of many features are not available like entering "</" to complete tag. I don't that feature includes or not but when I used its not available. So I try next editor.
Atom is also the best editor. I used after sublime text editor. Many many programmers and web developers like this text editor lot. Because of numbers of extension or plugins are available for that and the main feature is it is an Open source editor. This software built by the team at GitHub.
But in my case, I also don't like so much because of many features are not available which I need. I know I know in many cases it is perfect. But this software doesn't fulfill my requirement. So I try next editor.
A Bracket is also one of the best or good text editor for web development and designing. It is a lightweight, powerful and modern text editor. They also have extensions for work easily and doing work great.
A primary focus of bracket is for website developing and its lightweight as well as open source software.
Personally, I like this editor but this software also doesn't fulfill my requirement. So I try another text editor.
This is my favorite text editor nowadays. Because this software fulfills all my requirement for web developing and designing.
This is also a lightweight text editor and themes are awesome. Lots of extensions are available for managing code perfectly. I love this editor because of their theme, code highlight and auto-filled feature and yes its fill my "</" feature.
So the conclusion is the finding a text editor is not easy work. I tell about text editor but I do not choose text editor for you because what your work, how can you manage your work and which feature you like most. The best advice from me is trying all text editor you see because you don't choose perfect text editor until you try your self. Personally, I try all the text editor and finally I choose one text editor from them. It is not time westing, once you find your satisfied text editor you save your time lifetime.

Inspiring Reflection and Climate Action Through Public Art
Sep 21, 2021 | Art
With public art, the private act of looking becomes a shared, civic experience. Since Maya Lin's Ghost Forest opened, parkgoers have gathered under the cedars, absorbing the gravity of the meaning of the stark, leafless trees, sourced from a dying forest in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, and the message they convey. Embedded in the work is a collective call to action for citizens to address climate change.
Concurrent with this collective reckoning on climate, Lin has inlaid a deeply private act that presents an alternative form of access to the project. Listen to her thirteen-minute Ghost Forest Soundscape, realized in collaboration with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. Through technology and audio clips, you are transported from viewing a work of public art on-site with hundreds of others into a distinctly personal realm of looking and listening. The Soundscape surrounds you with the calls and sounds of living creatures that were once abundant in New York City. You can hear the names of these birds and animals in the Unami and Munsee languages of the Lenape people and receive the living land acknowledgement researched and written with guidance from the Lenape Center in New York.
When visitors walk into Ghost Forest, stop in its center, linger or weave through its perimeter, they can be overcome by the beauty and majesty of a stand of haunting trees, their overpowering presence even more noticeable in comparison with human scale. But by taking in the private moments of the Soundscape, visitors are encouraged to personal involvement, and consideration of what has been lost. While the trees make us look upward to contemplate the ravages of climate change, the Soundscape prompts inward reflection by summoning past histories. Public art is a catalyst for debate and discussion. Through Ghost Forest and the Ghost Forest Soundscape, Maya Lin, an artist with agency and vision, has galvanized collective and private responses to the devastation of our planet.
Madison Square Park Conservancy is taking action on climate through our Sustainability initiative. We have made a commitment to protect the park's delicate ecosystem by supporting native wildlife and reducing our carbon footprint. We use the iNaturalist app to document the living animals, insects, and horticulture in the park to better understand the impact climate change has on our park. Parkgoers moved by these efforts and by Ghost Forest can join us to protect the park and our neighborhood from climate change by joining our sustainability initiative.

How Bad Is It to Take Expired Medication?
The sniff test can tell you if food has passed its "use by" date. However, when it comes to prescription and over-the-counter drugs, follow this advice from pharmacists.

Brittany Risher,Apr 8, 2021 • 3 min read
Most of us know that person who throws out any food when it's within a few days of the expiration date. Then there are those who rely on the sniff test, knowing that most foods are OK to consume a little past their "best by" dates.
Using your nose may be acceptable when it comes to having a meal, but with medications, a sniff test most often doesn't help. All you have is the expiration date. And, according to a letter published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2016, when the FDA tested 122 different drugs, 88 percent remained stable for an average of 66 months after their printed expiration date.
The caveat? These medications were unopened. Most of us take an over-the-counter (OTC) pill a few times and then leave the open container in our bathrooms. That often humid and bright environment can accelerate the breakdown of medications. That's why pharmacists recommend properly getting rid of expired medications—especially prescriptions—rather than taking them.
"Expired prescriptions should be disposed of. Time can degrade the compounds, making them lose their potency and become less or totally ineffective," explains Bethanne Brown, PharmD, clinical professor of pharmacy practice at the University of Cincinnati's James L. Winkle College of Pharmacy. This is particularly true of liquid medications.
Additionally, prescription drugs are not dispensed in their original container. While a pharmacy may include a discard date on the label of your bottle, this date is usually a year from the original date of dispensing, not necessarily the date the medication expires, Brown adds. So any expired prescriptions may be even older than you think, and therefore less effective.
But it's not only that they're less potent, which is especially a problem for anyone managing a chronic health condition. "Many medications are preserved against contaminants," adds Shawn Spencer, PhD, RPh, Dean, Chief Academic Officer, and professor at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine's School of Pharmacy in Suwanee, Georgia. This is particularly important for things like eye drops or injectables, which are susceptible to bacteria. When drugs like these expire, it may acquire microbes or other compounds that can cause illness, severe allergic reactions, or even mortality, Spencer says.
What about OTC drugs? Although these typically help with less serious illnesses, taking expired OTC medications can pose a risk due to contaminants and decreased efficiency. If a drug is less potent, you might take more medication because you're not experiencing the relief you expect, Spencer says. This, of course, can be harmful.
Whether you're managing a chronic illness or battling an acute health problem, don't take expired medication. With long-term conditions, you risk serious complications if you take ineffective drugs. OTC medications can also pose health problems if taken past expiration.
If you're ever uncertain about a prescription's expiration date, talk to your pharmacist. For OTC drugs, medications expire at the end of the month indicated on the label, Brown explains. So if your decongestant says June 2021, it's good until June 30, 2021.

My Rating: All The Stars!!
Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, that spotlights the books we are adding to our shelves; whether they be virtual or physical.
As a single mother, Destiny makes sacrifices for her children—including saying goodbye for the summer so they can spend time with their father and stepmother. Though she'll miss them with all her heart, the time alone gives her an opportunity to address her own needs, like finish getting her college degree. But Destiny's friends think her summer should include some romance.
Destiny doesn't want to be set up…until she meets Daniel. The handsome, warm and charming pastor soon sweeps Destiny off her feet. But is romance what she really wants? Or needs?
As the days pass, Destiny will make new discoveries—about herself, the man she's fallen for, and the people around her. And she'll face challenging choices. But most of all, she'll grow in ways she never imagined, learning unexpected lessons about trust, forgiveness, and the price of motherhood…and truly become the woman she wants to be.
Inheritance Books is currently running a pre-order special on all paperback versions. You can pre-order the paperback version of Tempted to Touch at 20% and receive an autographed copy.
I just wanted to write this story that was in my head. A passion project. At least that was what I thought. About a month after I started writing Tempted… I kept hearing the protagonist's voice directly—like she wanted to tell the story herself. But I didn't want her to. I found myself fighting with the first person.
I share just about everything I do. I'm a reality t.v. star without a show. However, I do have a blog. When I found myself at a writing halt I voiced my struggle my blog, The Neophyte Author and tried to run away from the first person narrator even after my sister-author-friend, Unoma Nwankwor told me I could do it. The running stopped once I received a phone call from the one and only Michelle Stimpson—author, educator, and my unofficial mentor (I dubbed her my mentor in head, but that's another story). She's written over twenty books and more than half of them are in first person. Michelle was kind enough to walk me through her decision to write her first novel, Boaz Brown in first person. It was very natural and easy f her during that instance because she and the protagonist of Boaz Brown shared a lot of the same issues.
Instantly I knew why I no longer had a passion for my passion project. Kira was me and I was Kira. Married and in trouble. When I began Tempted to Touch my husband and I were in this awful and icky place that is usually filled with cussing and drink throwing on reality t.v. Since I'm Christian it was filled with a lot of "Satan I rebuke you" and "The devil is a liar". I realized then that I would be writing my unhappiness. That wasn't something I felt comfortable with at the same time I knew that Tempted to Touch was a story that needed to be told. Of course, to keep things on the up and up between my husband and I embellished a bit and gave the characters issues to fight about that were slightly different from ours. Regardless of the changes, I believe that I've found healing in certain areas of my marriage and I know that God will use this story to help other women find some healing in their marriage.
I really enjoyed reading Like Candy, so when I saw this sequel I had to request it. I try so hard to stay away from NG, EW, and Amazon. I'm trying to do a million and one things, and requesting or buying more books right now is not what I need to be doing. I'll see how long this will last. Luckily, all of my library reads have been on my TBR for years.
Zora and Me is one that I've wanted to read for years. I'm already about 25% done with it, so maybe I'll finish over the weekend. Couldn't resist the next Finishing School, so C&C was a must. Am I the only one who hasn't read 1984 by George Orwell? I have been meaning to read it since I was a teen, but never got around to it. I've never read a book by Mary Morrison, but someone suggested that I try her out since I love E.J. Dickey. We shall see how If I Can't Have You goes. And it's about time that I started on the Kate Daniels series, so MB was a must grab.
What books did you add to your shelves this week? Hope you all have a great weekend!
Looking forward to all of these, especially The Scent of His Feathers – A short collection of dark stories.
Naughtier Than Nice is a sequel that has been a long time coming. I'm a huge Dickey fan, and this will hold me over until April 2016 when his next one releases. Plus, I need to get me some holiday reads in starting this month.
For those of you who have read The Martian, you do not want to miss this movie!! I saw it last night, and I must say Matt Damon did me proud. Even if you haven't read it, you will still love the movie. Well, that is all that's happening around here. What books did you add to your shelves this week?

ScoreMaker Profile
by Dan Goldwasser
Name: Jason Lloyd
Profession: Scoring Crew member
Education: B.A.—English Composition; A.A.—Audio Engineering
What is it exactly that you do? Before a session begins, my co-worker Tom Steel and I set up the chairs, music stands, headphone feeds, and microphones per the specifications of the mixer that is working on that particular show. During the session, I provide the monitor or cue mixes for the conductor and the various sections of the orchestra.
Recent films worked on: Final Destination 3, Cheaper by the Dozen 2, King Kong
Biggest films worked on: Spider-Man, Catch Me If You Can, Finding Nemo, Memoirs of a Geisha
What is your background? I was in the Air Force, then trained and worked as a Paramedic on my way to becoming a Physician, then dropped it all to pursue a career in music.
How did you get into recording music for film? I was working at A&M (now known as Henson) Recording and a Tech there told me great things about working in the film business. I joined the IATSE Local 700 Guild and was hired for a temporary position in the Audio/Visual Department at Sony Pictures. During my spare time, I would drop by the world-renowned Sony Scoring Stage and learn from the crew about the scoring process. One of the crew members left and I was at the right place at the right time.
What was the best experience you've had? Witnessing amazing creativity from icons in the music community.
Without naming names or titles, what is the worst situation you've ever had at a session, and why? I worked on a session with some legendary pop music artists where everything that could have technically gone wrong did. The talent, mixer, crew, essentially everyone in the room were beyond frustrated. In the end, the session was recorded and it all turned out fine. All's well that ends well, I suppose.
What are you working on now? Deep Sea 3D with Danny Elfman

Dim temp As String = "\\ipserverb\H:\FilesOutput\"
in code 2 i get massage error "Failed to map the path"
somebody help me please Thanks.
First check that your path is correct and available.
if path is correct then try to build the application again.
if that not solve the issue then try to restart the IIS and check the App pool Identity.
Dim temp As String = "\\ipserverb\H$\FilesOutput\"
I've try use virtual directory in IIS. I can download but data empty.
Iam not clear with your requirement.
Do you want to copy file from server a to server b?
Do you want download a file from client browser from server a but actualy the file is in server b?
i want download a file from client browser from server a but actualy the file is in server b?
Write codes, try to download. After dowload succes then in iis remove files folder, replace it with files virtual directory that point to another server.
The path is not valid. This is \\server\share\folde\file for example while you added a drive letter somewhere. The account under which your app runs will need to be allowed to read from this share.
It seems your current approach is to have the web server A to read the file from server B and then serve this content to the browser.
If server B is a web server as well you could also likely use a client side link (https://serverb/somewhere/file).
If you want to keep your current approach fix the path and see what happens next.
did you try something like mentioned below?
Thanks Mr.Oned_gk i use virtual directory in server b and i use (https://serverb/file).


This pathway is for social scientists who wish to learn advanced quantitative methods for secondary-data analysis, and apply these methods appropriately to answer particular substantive questions from their disciplines. This includes social scientists who are interested in interdisciplinary research that requires the application of quantitative methods from one discipline to problems in another. This pathway is also for statistically trained researchers whose interests are more methodological. Projects may involve applying statistical methods used in other disciplines to social science problems, or developing novel statistical methods for analysing social science data. We welcome applications from students with backgrounds in statistics or related disciplines. You will normally be registered in the school of your first supervisor. This may not be the school that processes your application.
Doctor of Philosophy - PhD: A master's (or equivalent) in a discipline from the social or health sciences, and familiarity with intermediate-level quantitative techniques or multiple regression. For more methodological projects within social statistics and biostatistics, an MSc in statistics or equivalent (eg econometrics) is required. See international equivalent qualifications on the International Office website.

Growing up like a real woman
Benjamin Riley — May 22, 2013
I cope with stress by watching comfort television. When shit really gets me down, all I want is to be at home, surrounded by the televised role models of my teenage years.
Back then I had my go-to shows. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and her sassy witch friend Willow would calm my nerves by showing me all you need to fight vampires is a few good friends. On Star Trek Voyager, I looked up to Captain Janeway, the strong leader and caring mother figure I always wanted to follow into uncharted space. And while most young men interested in politics might fancy themselves as one of The West Wing's manly politicos, I was always the protégé of press secretary CJ Cregg, a powerful but compassionate woman in a man's world.
As a young gay man I don't remember having any decent gay role models to look up to. On more than a few occasions I would stay up late in my bedroom watching episodes of Queer as Folk on SBS, but their world was more fantastical than aspirational. The blur of strobe lights and rippling abs might not have been personally inspiring, but it did make me glad I could lock my bedroom door.
I've heard other gay guys my age express similar feelings – in the absence of positive gay male role models, we turn to the next best thing: women.
This feeling started early, long before my homo-tendencies were even a glimmer on the cover of my very first DNA Magazine. I remember rooting for female characters on most shows I watched as a kid, identifying with them in a way I never could with the machismo of '90s TV hunks. I was always a Xena: Warrior Princess fan more than a Hercules fan, eye candy taking a back seat to my respect and admiration for Lucy Lawless' iconic character.
I've often wondered why this happens. Perhaps it has something to do with feeling distanced, even from a young age, from a paradigm of masculinity where the popular kids in school were the tough boys. Without gay men to look up to, strong women show us we aren't alone in not being able to live up to the impossible ideals of masculinity, and that's okay.
Slowly but surely, more gay male role models are appearing on television, and I hope gay kids now have more people to look up to than I did. That said, I'll always take comfort in and be grateful for the women in my childhood who made it okay for me to be different.

It must be noted that the innovations leading to this achievement have increased the rate of discovery of NEAs and PHAs (Potentially Hazardous Asteroids) and revolutionized the technology of NEA studies at observatories and NEA survey groups around the world. It is now time to observe the 20th anniversary of this discovery.
The discovery was made on Sept. 25, 1990 by Spacewatch, at the Spacewatch 0.9-meter telescope on Kitt Peak in Arizona. David Rabinowitz (now at Yale Univ.) wrote the automatic detection software, MODP (Moving Object Detection Program), and Jim Scotti was the observer at the time of the discovery, using MODP at the telescope.
Spacewatch is the research group at the Lunar and Planetary Lab of The University of Arizona, in Tucson, AZ that was founded by Tom Gehrels and Bob McMillan in 1980 to be the first to use electronic detectors to discover NEAs and to explore the various populations of small objects in the solar system, including comets and distant objects. The group uses two telescopes on Kitt Peak, a 0.9-meter reflector and 1.8-m reflector during about 23 nights each month, centered upon New Moon. The Principal Investigator of Spacewatch is now Robert S. McMillan.
The Spacewatch project website is at:
http://spacewatch.LPL.Arizona.edu
The asteroid's diameter is estimated to be between 400 and 1200 meters, but the object does not get close enough to Earth's orbit to be hazardous.
The images shown here were made on Sept. 28, 1990, by Jim Scotti of Spacewatch, at the 0.9-m telescope of Steward Observatory on Kitt Peak, operated by the Spacewatch Project. Joe Montani of Spacewatch assembled the image animations and the "triptych" panel of three successive still-frame images.
The NEA (11885) is near the center of the field, moving from left to right. The animations consist of three images, with a 30 minute time interval between successive exposures. The object was moving about 0.66 degrees per day among the stars (as a reference, the Moon appears about 0.5 degrees across and moves about 12 degrees per day).
In both animations, besides stars and asteroids, you will also see a few randomly placed specks of light created by cosmic rays or other natural radiations striking the CCD detector of the camera. These look like white specks of dust, not in the same place from one exposure to the next.

Fig. 1: The animation above shows (11885) 1990 SS in a relatively wide field. It is seen near the center of the frames, moving from left to right. There is also at least one other moving asteroid visible: can you find it? (HINT: it's at the upper left corner). That other asteroid is a "Main Belt" asteroid, further away and so slower-moving than the Apollo family NEA (11885). The NEA appears to be moving about three times faster than the main belt object.
Fig. 2: This second animation is a "zoomed" view of the Apollo NEA, (11885), from the same images taken by Jim Scotti on Sept. 28, 1990. In this zoomed animation, the NEA is probably the only moving object visible.

'Art has power, students have power': Puerto Rican students fundraise for Hurricane Fiona relief at art exhibition
Ethan Shulman | Staff Photographer
An art exhibit to fundraise for hurricane Fiona relief in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic held in Frick Fine Arts on Wednesday.
By Renee Dubaich, Staff Writer
Student-made drawings, paintings, digital art, photography, poetry, jewelry, films and music filled the cloister in the Frick Fine Arts Building Friday night. Three Pitt students organized the exhibition as a fundraiser following the disastrous effects of Hurricane Fiona in Puerto Rico.
Luciana Marie De Jesus, a sophomore double majoring in classics and women, gender and sexuality studies, acted as business manager for the event. She said she and her two friends, Amaya Lobato and Irene Sofía Castillo Maldonado, got the idea for an art exhibition fundraiser because the trio wanted to spread awareness of cultural diversity and unity through art.
"Nothing really brings people together like artwork and culture does," De Jesus said. "The combination of it being a fundraiser, getting people to come do something nice on a Friday night, and look at art — I think it was a really nice intersection. It's something we all needed."
About 200 attendees showed their support by talking to the artists, purchasing their work and donating to the relief fund. The pieces conveyed messages of hope, oppression, diversity, emotion, beauty, diaspora, culture and identity. Through donations and revenue from the sold artwork, the relief fund raised $1,621.
De Jesus, Lobato and Maldonado organized the event in one week after hearing about how Hurricane Fiona impacted Puerto Rico. The post-tropical cyclone reached Puerto Rico on Sept. 17 and caused extensive damage to the island's infrastructure. The magnitude of the damage reveals deeply-rooted political and human rights problems on the island.
De Jesus said her family has roots in Puerto Rico, so she felt a strong urge to advocate for people who couldn't escape the disaster. She said she hoped the expo encouraged other students to help.
"Puerto Rican people are real, this is a present-day thing. These are all real people who are still around and are still being oppressed, and so that's the more serious thing that I want people to take away," De Jesus said. "Art has power, students have power. Anyone could do something like this, we just put our minds to it. At the end of the day students want to help each other."
Chanita Russell, a junior public health major, said she attended the event to express her support for the important cause and appreciate other students' artwork.
"I wanted to come and show my support as best as I can," Russell said. "The art is absolutely gorgeous. Seeing how people are able to express their feelings through something that they are passionate about is very beautiful, even through simple things like photography, you don't ever take that into consideration, but when you sit and look at it you can really see how passionate people are."
Lobato, a sophomore media and professional communications major and artistic manager for the event, exhibited her own work. Lobato's display included colorful and black and white photos of her daily life in Puerto Rico with an old film camera.
Lobato was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Her roots are meaningful to her because she still has ties to friends and family there. She added that the exhibition allowed students, especially students of color, to display their artwork.
"We need more diversity and we need a place where people come together, and we have people from very different cultures who are going to show their art," Lobato said. "Your culture shows through your art, so you're gonna have a little melting pot of cultures."
Zack Rodick, a sophomore philosophy and psychology major, sold CDs of his lo-fi indie music and copies of his original poetry at the event. He explained the urgency of the hurricane and how fundraising like this can make a huge impact, no matter how small.
"So many families have been devastated by Hurricane Fiona, especially in Puerto Rico. A lot of areas are completely without power and I think our government isn't doing enough to help them out," Rodick said. "So all the revenue for this goes to relief funds in Puerto Rico, so that people can be provided with food, shelter, water, housing and power. It's like a drop in the ocean, but anything counts at this point."
Maldonado, a sophomore history of art and architecture major, was the curator and installer for the event. She explained how Puerto Rico faced a similar emergency back in 2017 with Hurricane Maria — and since then, little has changed to prepare the island for future risks.
"Hurricane Maria was catastrophic," Maldonado said. "And that was five years ago, and five years later nothing had changed. They did not fix practically anything. They were not ready for a category one hurricane."
Maldonado said this is not only an issue of natural disaster, but the hurricane also revealed the United States' lack of support for Puerto Rico. A law from 1920 requires that imports into the island must be authorized by the U.S. government. Because of these restrictions, resources are scarce, putting the entire island at risk.
Maldonado added that it's important to acknowledge art, culture and diversity especially within the Pittsburgh community in order to raise awareness. She encouraged others to embrace their roots in order to enact beneficial change.
"These are real stories that you are reading, and the stories go beyond disastrous situations within the country, so if you can find it in your heart to help, and in a way where you are advocating for their voices," Maldonado said. "Enjoy your culture, and advocate for your country. Be the reason that your country makes a change."

Sainsbury's keeps lid on key food prices in face of inflation
By George MacDonald2017-07-04T11:22:00+01:00
Prices of many staple items at Sainsbury's remain cheaper than they were three years ago, despite greater food price inflation.
Everyday purchases such as broccoli, chicken and milk are all cheaper, Sainsbury's chief executive Mike Coupe said as he updated on first-quarter performance.
The grocer reported that it had "worked with suppliers to improve our price position versus competitors" over the period, during which Sainsbury's grocery sales climbed by 3%.
"It would be wrong to say that there isn't some inflationary impact," he acknowledged.
But he pointed out that transactions rose 2%, indicating that customers saw Sainsbury's as providing value for money.
Coupe attributed much of the strong performance to improvements to Sainsbury's own-label offer.
Over the quarter, Sainsbury's launched or improved 430 products and undertook 32 range reviews, accounting for 17% of its grocery sales.
The retailer increased sales through all channels including supermarkets which, said finance director Kevin O'Byrne, generated their best performance "in a number of years".
Shoppers and Nisa
Coupe said that, despite pressure on shoppers' disposable income, there had been little change in their behaviour since Christmas.
He said: "When customers feel their income is squeezed you might see supermarkets doing a little better as people eat in a bit more. That might be a trend we see coming through.
"We're not seeing a massive change in consumer behaviour. Consumers are concerned about day-to-day life, like having barbecues in warm weather."
Coupe appeared to play down talk that Sainsbury's might buy Nisa. He said "it's important to be alive to possibilities" but that "a lot of the time this sort of speculation comes to nothing".
City & finance
Opinion: Thankfully, inflation is nearing its peak
The resurgence of inflation has been one of the key themes this year, and is the primary driver of the squeeze on households' real incomes that is currently underway.
Inflation: Are retailers running out of options?
Inflation spiralling as real wages dwindle is putting retailers in a bind about passing the cost on to consumers.
Food prices 'to rise 3% per year until 2022'
Grocery prices in the UK are poised to jump 3% every year until 2022, new research suggests.
More Grocery
Where next for Sainsbury's under new boss Roberts?
Many predicted that Mike Coupe would depart Sainsbury's in the wake of its failed bid to merge with Asda and today he called time on his six years at the helm, passing the reins over to the supermarket's retail and operations boss Simon Roberts.
Opinion: Forget Asda – Coupe leaves a lasting legacy at Sainsbury's
Once I made the mistake of telling Sainsbury's boss Mike Coupe that I did most of my grocery shopping at Tesco.
Sainsbury's CEO Mike Coupe to retire as successor lined up
Sainsbury's chief executive Mike Coupe will retire from his role later this year and will be succeeded by the grocer's retail and operations director Simon Roberts.

Minimalist nail art is basically the equivalent of when you go to a contemporary art museum and walk into a white-walled room totally empty save for black lines on the floor and ask yourself in all seriousness if this is part of the exhibit or if you've stumbled into an off-limits maintenance closet.
That's the beauty of it—minimalism creates a blank space that leaves room for interpretation, so you aren't confined to being the person you were yesterday, the one who very much wanted smiley faces and rhinestones on her fingers but now feels like she's made a huge mistake she's stuck with until the gels start to peel off.
While some nail art loudly celebrates the joy of excess, these 45 museum-worthy examples of minimalism whisper. They're subtle. They go with everything. They're enigmatic, like, "Wait, is this minimalist nail art or a broom closet?" Well, not quite, but you get what I'm saying.
Clean and simple. Inspired by a mani by @msweet1996.

UPDATE APRIL 2015
OUR CLASSMATE BARBARA SMITH PATTERSON recently passed away. She went to school with many of us all the way from grade school through high school. After she graduated with us at WHS, she married Mike Patterson (WHS Class of 1963), a brother of our classmate Gerry Patterson. Barbara and Mike had two children before divorcing a few years later. In her 2006 note to state she would be unable to attend our 40-year reunion due to living in rural Utah, Barbara noted that both of her sons were "nearing 40" that year (2006) and both sons "decided to wait to settle down and get married later in life rather than early on like most people." Barbara and I visited for quite a while at a party held at Gillie's home in November 2008, at which time Barbara told me that her family moved to Security in 1955 and she went to grade school in a house before the grade school was built.
Many thanks to our classmate Marcia Hagans Allin for pointing out the 3/25/15 Gazette newspaper that had the obituary listed below.
Barbara Lucille Patterson, 66, passed away on Tuesday, February 24, 2015 of natural causes. She was born in Colorado Springs on July 3, 1948 to Ira and Beatrice Smith. She attended Widefield High School and took college courses at Pikes Peak Community College. She married Mike Patterson in 1966 and had two sons, Chuck and Rob Patterson. She and Mike Patterson divorced in 1971. Barbara worked for Hewlett Packard and Current Checks. She was a member of Ladies Auxiliary, Eagle's Club and a longtime member of Security Christian Church. Barbara loved to draw pictures, read, and play card games. She enjoyed going out to dinner with family. She is survived by her brother Ken Smith of Colorado Springs and her sons, Chuck Patterson of Pocatello, Idaho and Rob Patterson of Colorado Springs. She is also survived by her two grandsons, Conner and Garrett Patterson. She is preceded in death by her father, Ira Smith, mother, Bea Smith, and brother, Harold Smith. Funeral service is on Saturday, March 28, 11:00 a.m., Academy Christian Church located at 1635 Old Ranch Road in Colorado Springs.
OUR CLASSMATE BARBARA BILLINGSLEY MASSARANO will be in Colorado Springs on a brief visit this month, and she would like to visit with classmates on Thursday, April 9. To learn the time and location, send an email to our classmate Bruce McAlexander at

MORE MEMORIES of our classmate BRAD DOUGLAS are listed below in entries by people who learned of Brad's death in the mid-March 2015 announcement emailed to everyone on our contact list.
Don, thank you for the news of Brad's passing. I remember, at our tenth reunion, when we had the opportunity to show off our first-born son who was just about 3 months old. Brad made a point of coming over to visit with us to tell us that he thought our son had a great name. Our first-born child is named Bradley Douglas Allen. I remember telling my wife, when we had made the final decision on his name, "I have a classmate named Bradley Douglas; I hope our Brad is as talented as my classmate." As it turned out, he is. In different ways, but yes, he is as talented. Thanks, Don, I so do appreciate your hard work keeping our classmates so tied together. Your hard work keeps us on the same path more than we think.
-- Doug Allen, Class of 1966
[RE Bruce McAlexander's piece about Brad in the March 2015 announcement.]
Bruce: I too was a scared kid in my teens when I transferred to Security from Billings, Montana. My recall is that Brad is one of the first classmates I met in Security. Brad was the friend who accepted me in, no questions asked, and that is how I shall always remember him. He accepted, did not judge, just accepted. I received the word of Brad's passing from Larry Lysell. He agreed that Brad was indeed one of those people that you could embrace from day one. He will be truly missed by his family and indeed by the entire class of 1966. Rest in Peace
-- Dave Theiss, Class of 1966
Brad was a good friend from grade school, all the way through high school. I always wondered what happened to him and why he never came to a reunion. Would ask Larry Lysell about him, as they were good friends and lived near each other. Brad and his Mom belonged to my church. I remember he was always friendly, funny and smart. I don't think I would have passed history class without him. Just a nice guy.
-- Rhonda Richards Shamburger, Class of 1966
I'm sorry to hear of Brad's passing. Yes, he was a good guy.
-- Carla Aber Baker, Class of 1966
Brad was one of the nicest, sweetest young men that I had the pleasure of meeting and being friends with at WHS. I am so sorry for his family's loss, for truly it is a great loss also for his WHS family. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Peace be with them.
-- Shirley (Guinta) Tafoya, Class of 1966
Please accept my sincere sympathies.
-- Pete Spiers, Class of 1966
Thanks for letting us know about Brad. We lose contact through the years and it is hard to keep up.
-- Sheryl Salmon Pyle, Class of 1965
I was in the class of 1967 and Brad Douglas was a very special friend. I have often wondered what happened to him and have thought about him often over all of these years. I would like to share a story I will never forget about Brad. One summer day my brother Jon Dawson (Class of 1965) took our dad's car out to the Drag Races and I jumped in and went along. Well, Jon decided to enter dad's car in the race and he refused to take me home. So along came Dave Theiss and I asked if he would take me home. Dave Theiss, Brad Douglas and I believe Craig Snow were in the car and they said sure get in. Dave decided to take us all up to the lot in Widefield where they were building their new house. We got bogged down in the sand and were totally stuck. The three guys digging and trying to get us out for about 2 hours, I was going to be late getting home and probably in trouble. So Brad was the only one who offered to walk me up to the door and explain to my parents why I was late!!! I was so thrilled because my mom really liked Brad!! They didn't buy the story but after I told them Jon was drag racing dad's car, he was in much more trouble than I was! That was Brad, always doing the right thing and always doing the kind thing. Tom and I send our thoughts and prayers to all of Brad's family. A loss for this earth, but a gain for the Kingdom!
-- Drinda Dawson Nigbur, Class of 1967 (wife of Tom Nigbur, Class of 1966)
REUNIONS in 2015 and 2016 were the topic of a mid-March 2015 note from our classmate Gillie Walker to about 15 classmates who have been involved with organizing past reunions. Although she initially was in favor of combining our 50-year reunion with the Class of 1965 event to be held in June 2015, her March 2015 note indicated a change in her views. She wrote:
"Hi friends! It occurs to me that if even one of our class feels so strongly about having a 50th reunion on the exact anniversary of our graduation, that's what we should do. There's been a fair amount of discussion and we probably have seen a ratio of people who feel strongly to those who don't care so much (for whatever reason) that would probably hold true for the rest of the class who haven't responded. I suggest we let the idea go. Those who want to come this year will come and those who want to have festivities next year will make that happen. What do you say?"
Of about 15 classmates to whom Gillie directed her note, Mike Adragna and I were the only ones who replied. Despite Mike's view that was reported in the November 2014 update wherein Mike stated "I say the sooner the better" in support of a June 2015 reunion, Mike recently expressed a different view by stating "I can't make it this year but would like to help on next year's reunion." In reply to Mike's note, Gillie wrote, "Everyone will miss you in June but I'm sure your help next year will be appreciated."
I commended Gillie in my reply, to wit:
"I agree with her. Regardless of what any of us say, this year's June event will occur and it remains to be seen whether or not there will be an event next year. Give ourselves a breather and just take both years one step at a time and see what transpires. I look forward to reading what the rest of you think about Gillie's note, which I found was very insightful and conciliatory."
When Gillie and I did not hear any further input from the 15 classmates to whom she directed her original note, she wrote:
"Donnie, thank you for your reply. I haven't heard from anyone else. Perhaps the question has faded away of its own accord...2016 being too far away to make any definitive decision. That works for me. It's probably time to include this in your next update. I appreciate you doing that for all of us."
THE 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY of the CLASS of 1965 will be held on Friday and Saturday, June 19-20, with a dinner/dance on Friday night at the event center near Widefield and a picnic on Saturday in the park in Fountain. The event is open to ALL classes of the 1960s. Soft drinks will be provided on both days with a cash bar being available at the event center. Only cans of 3.2 beer will be allowed at the picnic. While there will be tables at the picnic, local people are urged to bring lawn chairs and blankets for attendees coming from out of town.
The registration fee is $50 per person for the two-day event. Online payments can be made on the Paypal website, at which the "Send" option should be clicked on the home page and then typewidefield65reunion@yahoo.com in the box titled "their email."

Delays in my replies, in particular, are due to me not being awake very much anymore as sleeping long hours is the only time period during which there is total relief from my neurological illness for which there is no cure. It is now ten (10) years that I have had massive nerve damage. With this neurological illness continuing to take center stage in my life each day, there cannot be very much so-called normal or routine activities on my part as long as a state of normalcy has not been returned to my life. As noted in my update in July 2013, another reason for delays in my replies is that I have been "slowing down" more and more since late 2012 – it takes me forever to get something done. My doctors attribute the slowness to me getting older, not the neurological illness.
This update was prepared by me.

Some firms pursuing a Reg A+ IPO are betting that celebrities associated with their businesses will translate to more investor demand, according to a skepticism-laden article in The Wall Street Journal. The story, which cites Ashton Kutcher's stake in Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment (ticker: CSSE), describes Reg A+ as "risky" and in typical WSJ fashion attempts to advocate for investors by raising obvious questions without doing real digging. We at RegAResearch believe there's a mix of good and bad Reg A+ companies, and encourage investors to do their homework rather than lump an entire category of stocks together based on one characteristic.

Saratoga Springs residents push for another vote to change government
Comptroller Tom DiNapoli shares details of his trip to the Northern Triangle
New York State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli visited the "Northern Triangle" Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala on April 22-April 26 with a small team from Catholic Charities in New York City.
"It was really a fact-finding mission to put a human face on everything we're hearing. Every day, there's an article about migrants, migration impacting the U.S. the debate about the wall and border security," Comptroller DiNapoli told NewsChannel 13.
"We wanted to see up close what is driving and fueling this increase in migration and what are some of the causes and consequences to all that for us to be better informed as we come back," DiNapoli added.
The trip was a follow up after visiting Bangladesh in recent years, following a collapse at a garment workers factory that claimed the lives of 1,000 employees. "We had a similar delegation, and myself as an investor with some of those companies and the brand names that contracted with the factories some of which were involved," DiNapoli reminded.
Their mission was to bring back what they learned abroad. DiNapoli joined Monsignor Kevin Sullivan who is the Executive Director of Catholic Charities of the NY Archdiocese and Stuart Abbelbaum, the President of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union.
"Are there some ways which we can help influence policy being corporate or governmental to improve conditions, so that was really the back drop for the trip and we chose to go to the Northern Triangle."
DiNapoli explained the visit was eye-opening and intense, talking about the violence.
"A lack of economic opportunity was certainly a key driver, but related to that as important was the issue of personal security violence. The gang issue is a big issue there and we certainly heard that very directly from people who have suffered at the hands of gangs. Threats extortion. There are vast territories where the gangs are really the ones that control the neighborhoods. The governments either are powerless or incapable because of corruption and are just not able to get all of that under control. They're faced with or physical threat, but loss of life kidnapping, people knocking on your door saying we want your house," DiNapoli told NewsChannel 13.
He said people would prefer to stay in their countries, but often feel compelled they don't have many options other than trying to escape to a better situation.
"The risk of going on the migration trail and to spend money with a smuggler/coyote to try to get across the border. In some cases that risk is less than staying behind, so and there's obviously a correlation between the lack of economic opportunity and the gang situation because even if you have a job there are many small business people trying to get up and running. And if you're having to pay extortion it really delineates, the values of the hard work that you are putting in. And climate change, you may not think of that as a contributor to the migration problem, but they've had hotter weather droughts that have made it more difficult to raise their traditional crops because of the change in climate some of the pests that can destroy crops have become more prevalent, so we met with some who are trying to come up with more sustainable strategies in agriculture," DiNapoli explained.
There were so many topics to conquer, in meetings with all kinds of people, government officials, laborers, every day people.
"There are a number of corporations we are invested in, the state pension fund, so there were some labor issues in terms of how workers are treated to allow for organized and fair treatment with contracts. And to have the workers be better represented and able to leverage better wages and benefits, it is a positive in terms of the evolution of wanting to have a middle class, stable economy. You want to have as many people in the more formal economic relationships rather than informal that what happens in the neighborhoods where they're more susceptible to exploitation to extortion from the gangs," DiNapoli added.
"We visited a youth program that was really effective in teaching life skills, career preparedness they have articulation with larger corporations to try and provide a path for young people to show they don't have to join a gang. It was a program specifically supported by USAID, which is American dollars."
So when the national administration talks about cutting aid, we asked the question what will this do to your program and it was very clear. The programs might not be sustainable, and what that would do would just exacerbate this already bad situation and make it worse, so that's part of what we've been saying, what we will convey directly to those who can influence those kinds of decisions."

Mitsubishi Electric Russia
Mitsubishi Electric establishes Mitsubishi Electric (Russia) LLC
TOKYO, November 5, 2014 - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) has established Mitsubishi Electric (Russia) LLC, which started operations in October 2014. The new company will now act as the comprehensive sales company of Mitsubishi Electric for Russia and the surrounding countries for further strengthening the Air Conditioning, Factory Automation and other businesses in the region.
Business Centre where Mitsubishi Electric (Russia) LLC is located
The Air Conditioning business, which is one of the most important businesses for Mitsubishi Electric in Russia and its neighbours, targets further growth by utilizing the new company, Mitsubishi Electric (Russia) LLC as a basis for strong marketing and sales activities in the region as well as for strengthening its service organization. This will benefit new customers as well as existing ones alike, significantly improving our ability to extend support to all our distributors and partners.
With strong demand for Mitsubishi Electric Factory Automation systems and solutions in the natural resources related industries and also in the food industry, to name just two of the wide possibilities in the industrial market, the Factory Automation business also regards Russia and the surrounding countries, as key to its business expansion. Through Mitsubishi Electric (Russia) LLC, the business will be even better placed to provide a localised sales team, technical support and after sales service, which will lead to a significantly improved customer service for clients.
This includes improved support to current distributors and partners, who will continue to play an important part in the expansion of the Factory Automation business.
Noritsugu Uemura, President of Mitsubishi Electric (Russia) LLC, said: "Russia is an important market for Mitsubishi Electric, so setting up our local entity, Mitsubishi Electric (Russia) LLC, was the logical step. We are targeting a turnover of 10 billion JPY (73 million Euro*) in Fiscal Year 2016."
Mr Uemura, continued: "Our Moscow headquarters and teams in St. Petersburg and Yekaterinburg will focus on further growing our Air Conditioning, Factory Automation and also other businesses, for example in the infrastructure sector, in Russia and the surrounding countries."


I have been blessed to have known Katie since she was first born. Her Mom is one of my very best friends in the world.
We were able to squeeze in a last minute fall session before the last of the leaves were gone…..and what a beautiful afternoon we had. As the sun was setting it made the leaves turn a fiery red….so gorgeous with Katie's hair.
Thanks Katie, I'm glad we were able to get together.
Oh my cuteness! Love these kids….and that's all there is to say!
Made my heart happy to be able to photograph one of my favorite families when they were home for Thanksgiving.
It was so great to see you all! Have a wonderful Christmas!

May: Experts by Association
SO I came into the office the other morning to find a book on my desk chair. It was a big, thick (370 pages!) monster of a book, black and bright yellow, with the unmistakable "For Dummies" lettering across the front. This particular edition of the popular instructional book series was titled, "Pool & Billiards For Dummies."
And stuck to the book's cover was a hand-written blue Post-It note, which read, "For Dummies, By Morons "
The moron in question, as it turned out, was Nicholas Leider, the book's author.
Of course, Nick is also the Managing Editor of Billiards Digest, and Nick's no moron! (Although I do enjoy self-deprecating humor!) After completing his Masters in journalism in 2006, Nick began his career at Billiards Digest as an intern for then-Managing Editor Mason King. In 2007, he replaced departing Associate Editor Audra Quinn. And a little more than a year ago, Nick took over the helm of BD after King left. He's done an amazing job of maintaining the magazine's high standards despite shrinking ad revenue and a pared down staff.
"Pool & Billiards For Dummies" (Wiley Publishing, Inc., $19.99) contains all the requisite information for a good instructional book on the game - chapters on fundamentals, the various pocket billiard games, cue ball control, aiming, English, strategies, etc. It's well organized, including all the cool little icons that alert readers of special information tips, reminders, warnings and odd bits of information.
But this isn't a review of Nick's new book.
Just seeing the book on my chair and knowing that Nick cranked that out while running Billiards Digest made me reflect about the work and effort that must have gone into it. How he managed to fit a book into his time is a question I'm afraid to even ask.
I say I'm afraid because I know exactly how he managed. I went through the same exercise more than 20 years ago when I wrote my first book with Steve Mizerak, called "Steve Mizerak's Complete Book of Pool & Billiards." (See how quickly and cleverly I shifted the focus of this column from being about Nick to being about me? It really wasn't that hard. It's a gift, I know.)
I think virtually every journalist feels the need to pen a book during his or her career. I don't think it matters whether the person is a bottom-of-the-ladder reporter for a daily newspaper, a popular columnist, a magazine writer or one of the new breed of online journalists. Writing a book is a challenge. It doesn't have to be the Great American Novel, either. It's the process of organizing something on a larger scale that's the challenge. It's quite a different process than what writers go through in meeting daily, weekly or even monthly deadlines.
And, for most of us, authoring that first book is something we do in our "spare time." I'll never forget my meetings with what was then Contemporary Books prior to my first Mizerak book. Steve and I met with the editor and outlined what the book would entail. They gave us the green light and we signed a contract that had very specific deadlines spelled out. Naturally, I did as we all tend to do. I said, "I can do this." And the moment I walked out the door I thought to myself, "How the heck am I going to do this!"
What followed were endless days devoted to billiards. Eight-plus hours at the Billiards Digest office, followed by five or six hours each night grinding out copy for the book. On weekends I'd put in even longer hours. One weekend I flew to Pittsburgh to scour through articles and photos at Mike Shamos' Billiard Archive. Another weekend I flew to Florida to shoot the instructional photos with Steve.
One of the things that scared me most was the fact that I'm no pool player. I enjoy playing, but I'm not now, nor was I then, an expert player. (Although having Steve Mizerak as your co-author certainly did make it a little easier!) What I was - and what Nick is - is what I call an "expert by association." We're around the sport so much, we can sound like we know what we're talking about! I think it's that way with a lot of authors in the "how-to" genre of books.
Not surprisingly, on more than a few occasions I found myself panicking, thinking, "I can't possibly finish this on time."
But you push on and get it done. And when it's finished and in print there is both relief and pride. I remember getting my first copy of the book. Two thoughts went through my mind. "This is really cool!" And, "I'll never do this to myself again!" (Of course, I did it to myself two more times, but neither effort was nearly as taxing as the first.)
Beyond the satisfaction of having completed such a hefty project, there is the knowledge that your name will forever be etched in the Library of Congress. That's a pretty cool feeling. I mean, think about it. The name Michael Panozzo is right in there, shortly after Sarah Palin and a little before Edgar Allen Poe.
So, I felt like a had a little better sense of understanding of Nick's pride in having produced "Pool & Billiards For Dummies." And I'm proud of him for having completed the task, particularly since he did so with little disruption in his duties as BD editor.
Congratulations, Nick.
And I'm glad you survived with your sense of humor intact.


antirez 320 days ago. 67537 views.
Let's start with the Incapsula report. What they did was to analyze exposed Redis instances on the internet. Instances that everybody from any place of the internet can access, because they are listening for connections in a public IP address, without any password protecting them. It is like if they were HTTP servers, but it's Redis instead, that is not designed to be left exposed.
This is far from a new story. Because of Redis popularity the number of total Redis installations is pretty huge, and a fraction of these installations are left exposed. It's like that since the start basically. People spin a virtual machine in some cloud provider, install Redis, find that they cannot access it, open the port of the VM to anyone, and the instance is at this point running unprotected. They only thing that changed is that most of those instances in the past were left running unaffected in many cases. Maybe some script kiddie could connect and call "INFO" or a few more commands to check what there was inside, and that was it most of the times. Now the new crypto mining obsession is providing attackers a very good reason to break into other people's systems. Actually the best of the reasons: money. So the same exposed instances are now cracked in order to install some software to mine some kind of crypto currency. Incapsula checked the percentage of instances that look violated.
The way they collected the kind of attacks used against Redis instances was by running, on purpose, a set of exposed instances, to monitor how the attackers could target them. Many of the attacks look like variations on my own example attack .
Also it is worth to note that to scan the IPv4 address space in order to find exposed instances of any kind of service is trivial. You could use, for instance, masscan. However you could do that 20 years ago using my own hping, and I remember doing this back then with success indeed.
TLDR: there are open Redis instances on the internet because they are misconfigured. Attackers profit from them by installing some kind of mining software, or for other reasons. But there is more… keep reading.
Security is a terrible field in my opinion. I worked in such field, and decided to go away once it started to be no longer an underground affair. People are very opinionated about security issues, while, at the same time, there is little real care about, for instance, performing security auditings on real world systems (something that Google project zero is changing a bit, btw). So after receiving for the Nth time some PGP encrypted email saying that Redis was vulnerable to a temp file creation attack, I wrote the blog post at , just to tell: "maybe you are missing the point of Redis security". I basically published an attack against my own system that I could find in a few minutes of research, and that was very serious. The message was, again, Redis is not designed to be left exposed. And if you really want to play hack3rzzz look, there are more interesting things to do. However by doing that I put on the hands of script kiddies a great weapon to break into thousands of Redis instances open everywhere.
In order to pay back from my fault, in an attempt to atone my sin, I started to think about what I could do to make the situation simpler. One problem of Redis 3.x was that by default it would listen to all the IP addresses, so it was simple to misconfigure: just open the port, or have no firewalling at all, and the instance is exposed. The security mantra about that was "run with safe defaults". That is, in the case of Redis, a networked cache, to have a default configuration that basically more or less does not work for most real world users out of the box. And what was worse, people that don't have a clue would just "bind *" to fix the problem, and we are back at the initial condition. So I tried to find something a bit smarter, a feature that I named "protected mode", with great disappointment of a group of 386 processors that manifested in front of my houses for days.
1. The user knows what to do in order to fix this situation. It's much better than "connection refused".
2. We try to avoid that the user disables protected mode without understanding what is the risk involved, and that there are other solutions (setting a password or binding to certain interfaces).
So my illusion was that, maybe, it could be more helpful than the safe defaults. But unfortunately you can't fix the fact that a percentage of users just don't care, that some don't even know they are installing Redis, and that it's there just as a side effect of being a dependency for something else, or is installed by a script, or is included in the ABI image you are running and so forth.
Initially by grepping on Shodan it looked like Redis 4.0 protected mode was, actually, helping quite a lot! The open instances I could find replied "-DENIED" for the most part. That was great. However after the publication of  I asked Shodan (btw they rock and were super helpful on Twitter) if I could have the version breakdown of the exposed Redis instances. And the result is, there are still tons of Redis 4.0 instances exposed .
It is true that they are less than the 3.0 instances, but they are still a lot. By investigating more I was even told that there are VM images where Redis protected mode is *removed* by the installation script by default, since sometimes people are annoyed by security features. They want things to just work over the network out of the box, so this is what they do, remove the annoyance. Then such image becomes popular, and many folks install it without knowing what's going on, and when Redis 4 is installed protected mode is off and the instance is exposed.
I think this is a lesson about safe defaults that can be trivially disabled by users. It looks like that in some way they could help, but just in reducing by some percentage the number of incidents, not to make them a rare exception.
One of the fundamental problems in the Redis security model is that the server can be reconfigured via the normal API, using special commands like the CONFIG command. This is a very valuable feature of Redis, but it makes much simpler to break into the instance once you have access to the Redis API, and normal applications using Redis don't need this level of access.
So in the course of Redis 6, what will happen is that we'll introduce ACLs. Again, the way this feature will be introduced will try to be a "no pain" experience for existing users. If you connect without any credential, Redis will log in the client automatically using the "default" user, that can do everything applications normally do, but will deny all the administrative commands. Of course it will be possible to make it more strict by configuring things differently, create new users that can only call certain commands on keys matching a given pattern, and so forth.
In the course of Redis 6 we plan to also merge support for SSL connections, while this is unlikely to have any impact on the issue discussed here, because by default Redis will run unencrypted and the feature will be opt-in, however SSL is also one step forward for a more secure Redis experience in certain environments.
However my hopes are on ACLs, because it looks unlikely that the casual user will make the default account able to run the administrative commands. Especially because we plan to log connections originating from the local host as the "admin" user directly. If this goes as I hope, we'll continue to see Redis 6 instances exposed, because it is inevitable, but at least those Redis 6 instances should make it harder to compromise the whole system. At least in theory: Redis EVAL command allows execution of Lua scripts, and such feature should be allowed by default since is a fundamental Redis feature. We try to have a kinda sandboxed Lua execution environment, but if you followed IT security for some time, you know that sandboxes are always imperfect, and more an exercise in finding how to escape them than a sealing solution. This time however I'll avoid publishing an attack just to make a point.


While surfing on social site facebook I came across a post by my friend. As it was related to accounts and taxation it caught my attention immediately. I decided to share it. But It looked me familiar. I am sharing this with you. It is said that If you are born then start paying the taxes and pay until you die. Taxes are eternal truth. A troll about taxation system in India is moving on Facebook for quit some time and Now One of my Facebook friend Chinmoy Das again shared it to me. I am putting it to my readers. Enjoy and give your valuable comments.
Many people feel that if they are not paying Income tax then they are not paying any tax but they are living in a myth that they are not paying tax. Govt. is silently slipping penny out of their pocket and they don't even know how and when.
but If you are doing business India which is hardest task then all most all taxes are applicable on you depending the level of business you are doing and kind of business you are doing.
Here is the troll for you.
☑ 1) What r u doing?
Tax : PAY: PROFESSIONAL TAX!
☑ 2) What r u doing in Business?
☑3) From where r u getting Goods?
Tax : PAY CENTRAL SALES TAX, CUSTOM DUTY & OCTROI! AND NOW LBT & LPT.
☑ 4) What r u getting in Selling Goods?
Tax : Pay DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION TAX.
☑ 5) Where u Manufacturing the Goods?
☑ 6) Do u have Office / Warehouse/ Factory?
☑7) Do you have Staff?
Tax : PAY STAFF'S PROFESSIONAL TAX!
☑ 8) Doing business in Millions?
Tax : Then pay Minimum Alternate Tax (MAT).
☑ 9) Are You taking out over 25,000 Cash from Bank?
☑ 10) Where r u taking your client for Lunch & Dinner?
☑11) Are you going Out of Station for Business?
☑12) Have you taken or given any Services?
☑ 13) How come you got such a Big Amount?
☑ 14) Do you have any Wealth?
☑ 15) After paying so many taxes ,to reduce Tension, for entertainment, where are you going?
☑ 16) Have u purchased House?
Tax : PAY EDUCATIONAL ADDITIONAL EDUCATIONAL & SURCHARGE ON ALL THE CENTRAL GOVT.'s TAX !!!
☑ 19) Delayed any time Paying Any Tax?
☑ 20) Do you want growth of India.?
Ans: Off course Yes .
Pay electricity tax, water tax, education tax, & other taxes, which is used by defaulter people.
☑ 21) INDIAN :: Can I die now, i have paid all taxes and now nothing is left with me?
Ans :: Wait we are about to launch the FUNERAL TAX.
Now here is the post which i have published way back in July 2011. You would find striking similarity. It raises some questions to ponder upon. What we are doing on social media since july 2011 or even earlier ? Just pushing contents of others! How many of FB users are actually contributing to FB? How many are just content pushers?
I think almost 99% people on facebook just push contents published by some few others. This percentage may vary but this is a fact. What do you think friends?

WIGAN ATHLETIC 3 WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS 2 – CHAMPAGNE FOOTBALL IN A PARTY ATMOSPHERE
Posted by JJ (Tony) in	Other and tagged with Ali Al Habsi, Beausejour, Bob and Dave, boyce, caldwell, Champage Football, di santo, Figueroa, James McCarthy, jordi gomez, Little Magician, Little Wigan, Lopez, maloney, mccarthy, moses, rodallega, The Jimmy Macs, Wigan Athletic 3 Wolves 2	 May 15, 2012
What a pleasant way to end a season – champagne football played by Latics, with an appreciative home crowd lapping it up. How strange that after 8 minutes with the home crowd celebrating an upcoming 8th year in the Premier League, Matt Jarvis should dampen the party atmosphere by scoring a peach of a goal. Receiving a ball from Steven Ward he cut in from the left and put a peach of a shot beyond Ali Al Habsi's reach.
Latics came back in the 12th minute with an opportunist goal from Franco Di Santo, kicking the ball between the legs of a Wolves defender into the left hand corner, after James McCarthy had dispossessed Stephen Hunt in midfield. The Jimmy Macs and Shaun Maloney were running the midfield and it came as no surprise when Emmerson Boyce scored two minutes later with a towering header from a Jean Beausejour corner. Latics dominated the remainder of the first half with their excellent movement and silky skills, but could not further add to their tally.
Wolves came out with more resolve in the second half and the Wigan defence had to be on its toes. Al Habsi produced an excellent save from Kevin Doyle, but Gary Caldwell was ruling the roost at the back. Wigan continued to produce waves of classy football, with Shaun Maloney orchestrating the play, giving the Wolves defence a torrid time. The lively Albert Crusat came on for Victor Moses after 58 minutes and Hugo Rodallega for Franco Di Santo after 79 minutes. Within the first minute of coming on it was Rodallega who headed the ball for Boyce to hit a screamer of a half volley into the net. Jordi Gomez came on for Shaun Maloney after 82 minutes. In the 84th minute Boyce went through the Wolves defence with the chance of a hat trick. However, he unselfishly tried to square the ball to Rodallaga and the chance was lost. Steven Fletcher got a consolation goal for Wolves on 86 minutes, after Adrian Lopez – in for the injured Antolin Alcaraz – got caught in possession on the edge of his penalty area. In another sweeping move Rodallaga was unlucky to see his shot hit the post in the final minute of added time. The final whistle signaled a pitch invasion by delighted fans.
The scoreline did not truly reflect the gulf between the two teams. This was champagne football from Latics, with Shaun Maloney being at the core of practically all of our best attacking moves. The Latics fans have been fantastic over the past few months, in sharp contrast to the doom and gloom that pervaded the earlier part of the season. The belief shown by the fans has galvanised a team previously lacking self confidence.
It is not only the prospect of an 8th season in the Premier League that makes me look forward to the resumption in August. More than that it is the prospect of Latics playing this brand of football and not being afraid of the rich and bloated clubs who dominate the league. We have to shed the image of "Little Wigan" and move up a notch in our own estimation. If Bob and Dave both stay for a few years longer we will not be perennially looking to avoid relegation, but towards being in the top half of the table, seeking a Europa league place.
After being outstanding in recent games Antolin Alcaraz suffered a thigh injury in training. Estimated time of recovery is 6 weeks so let's hope all will be well for him at the start of next season. He was missed in defence.
Ali Al Habsi: 8 – Did all he could to keep Wolves out. A top class 'keeper.
Emmerson Boyce: 9 – This defensively minded player has become a real attacking option in the right wing back position. Has scored three cracking goals in recent matches.
Adrian Lopez: 6 – Tried hard to impose himself physically, but looked nervy. His lack of match fitness and practice probably contributed to him losing the ball for Wolves' second goal.
Gary Caldwell: 9 – Superb at the back once again.
Maynor Figueroa: 8 – Excellent yet again.
Jean Beausejour: 8 – Played more of an attacking role than usual. Put in some lovely crosses that might have led to more goals.
James McCarthy: 8 – Excellent yet again.
James McArthur: 8 – Probably our most under rated player. Excellent performance.
Shaun Maloney: 9 – A brilliant performance from the Little Magician.
Victor Moses: 6 – Ineffective, taken off after 58 minutes. Maybe unsettled by transfer talk?
Franco Di Santo: 8 – Must be one of the best in the Premier League in his skilful hold-up play. Scored an opportunist goal.
Albert Crusat: 8 – Made a major impact as a substitute, coming close to scoring on at least three occasions. Promises well for the future.
Hugo Rodallega – Has been a great servant for Wigan Athletic. What shame he was unlucky in the last minute, hitting the post as his Latics career was coming to a close.
Jordi Gomez – Worked hard and put through some nice passes. This has been his best season at the club and he has managed to silence many of his critics.
