ArchBishop Wilton Gregory has been hammered by the catholic community for building a two million dollar home for himself. Mr. Gregory said, "that the money was left by Joseph Mitchell, nephew of Margaret Mitchell, author Gone With Wine, a Civil War epic that made the family wealthy.
ArchBishop Gregory felt as if he did the right thing, because the money was divided amongst the church as instructed along with leaving money for the parish.
The Roman Catholic Church had to convene to decide after all the commotion as to what would be done with the home of Mr. Gregory. Mr. Gregory' said "I should of known better than to take the money and build himself a home.
"I really question all these concerns with Mr. Gregory, because the church knew about the money. It wasn't until the catholic community started bitching about him building a home for himself that all hell broke loose. I truly believe that if the shoe was on the other foot, and he would have been a white male, the uproar would not have gotten national media attention. Is Mr. Wilton Gregory a devil or an Angel for building himself a house ?


Because the Dot COM universal top-level domain name extension is the most famous around the globe, many appealing, unforgettable .COM domains have already been registered. This makes it harder for enterprises and persons to acquire a good domain, so if you are in search of an alternative, one of the options you can think about is Columbia's country-specific top-level domain extension – Dot CO. The TLD was launched for free registration in 2009 and has been growing in recognition since then. Not only is it alike .COM, but many good dot CO domains are still vacant for registration. Leaving aside personal websites, the domain name extension can be used for COmpanies, COmpetitions, COlleges, and so on. Many international companies also use .CO domains for easier access to their websites, for example – American Express (amex.co), Twitter (t.co), and others.
What differentiates .CO from other country-code domain extensions is its international character. Even though the TLD is designated to Colombia, dot CO domains can be ordered by foreign entities as well – something, which has had a huge impact on the World Wide Web. Google has said in an official announcement that dot CO websites that have global content will also get their respective status in Google's global search listings. In this way, with the dot CO domains that we offer, you can decide whether you prefer to concentrate on the international market or just Colombia. If you book such a domain through our company, it will be active not long after that, so you can start building your website right away. If the preferred dot COM domain isn't free, then this would be your most excellent selection.
Wish to have full control of all your .CO domains? Then look no more! Our intuitive Domain Manager is everything you need so that you can control a number of domains from one and the same place. This amazing tool, which is an essential part of our Web Hosting Control Panel, will let you effortlessly setup URL forwarding, to change your domains' DNS records with no more than a couple of mouse clicks, etc.
If you choose to start a hosting account with us as well, you will be able to manage your domains and your sites simultaneously using the very same Control Panel.

Surety bonds play a vital obligation in protecting the consumer. Without surety bonds the customer would be subjected to scams and breach of agreement without option other than dragging the principal to court. Make certain that the specialist is accredited and bonded. In like manner make certain that your contractor has the correct insurance policy. For several states could go to the specialists licensing board's site, to check whether a professional is accredited as well as the status of their Surety bond. You can moreover observe a checklist of complaints or disciplinary actions taken against the professional. Do not just work out with one offer, search around and acquire a minimum of 3 cites.
In many cases you can find the materials cheaper, so get them on your own. This can additionally guarantee that you are obtaining exactly what you spend for. Make beyond any doubt that you are complying with the state and local regulations for zoning and allows. On the off chance that you gave loan to the specialist and they picked never to find back with your items you have a couple of options. Ideally you utilized a guaranteed and bonds for builder contract obligee protection bond. On the off chance that you have procured an accredited specialist organization you essentially call the professional licensing board and demand to position a case on their surety bond. In the event that the case stands the surety business depending on the surety bond kind, the firm could pay a professional to finish the job or compensate you for the cash lost. On the off chance that you have not contracted a qualified and bound professional you will in all probability need to take them to court.
On the off chance that you intend to avoid these issues make certain that your professional is accredited and bound. Check with the state to watch complaints, you could typically watch complaints on the state's site. Bear in mind that on the off chance that you obtain three proposals and the most affordable imminent purchaser is 40% less costly compared to each person else you could have an inconvenience. Demand for the professional to explain how they could be less costly than everyone else. Demand a cost break down. The value failure needs to consist of the cost of labor, materials, and allow if relevant. It may be somewhat considerably more work with your end; be that as it may it may conserve money later on.


Fr. Mark Brauer is the pastor of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Parish. He was ordained to the priesthood on June 27, 1992 at Blessed Sacrament Cathedral by Cardinal Maida. He was born in Detroit Michigan and is one of eight children born to Corinne and Joseph Brauer. He is their sixth child, five boys and three girls.
This assignment is Fr. Brauer's third since ordination more than 25 years ago. Prior to this assignment he was Pastor of one of the first clusters in the archdiocese, St. Christine Parish and St. Gemma Parish, both located on the west side of Detroit. He served the two parishes for ten years. Fr. Mark's first assignment was as an Associate Pastor of St. Ephrem Parish in Sterling Heights.
Fr. Paul grew up in Oxford, MI with his parents Paul and Judy and his sister Katie. His home parish is St. Joseph's in Lake Orion where he received the sacraments of initiation. He graduated from Oxford High School in 2003. During high school Fr. Paul began attending an Evangelical youth group and eventually identified himself as an Evangelical Christian. He then went on to Oakland University where he played hockey for the club team.
After one year he discerned the call to the ministry and began attending Elim Bible Institute in Lima, NY. He graduated three years later in 2007 but was starting to sense that something was off with his Evangelical beliefs. Fr. Paul continued his studies at Nyack College in New York, NY for just a year before God led him back home to the Catholic Church after reading some of the writings of the Church Fathers. Still feeling called to the ministry, Fr. Paul began discerning the priesthood and decided to enter the seminary program at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit in 2010. In 2012 he earned a Bachelor's of Arts in Philosophy. In 2016 he earned both a Master's of Divinity and a Baccalaureate in Sacred Theology. On May 14, 2016 Fr. Paul was ordained a priest of Jesus Christ. His parents still reside in Oxford and his sister Katie now lives in Chicago with her husband Mike.

Q: Best way to replace a nested for loop in R for loops in R are generally considered slow: it's hard to avoid unintended memory read/writes. But how to replace a nested for loop? Which is the best approach?
Please note that this is a generic question: the f function below is just an example, it could be much more complicated or return different objects. I just want to see all the different approaches that one can take in R to avoid nested for loops.
Consider this as an example:
al <- c(2,3,4)
bl <- c("foo", "bar")
f <- function(n, c) { #Just one simple example function, could be much more complicated
    data.frame(n=n, c=c, val=n*nchar(c))
}
d <- data.frame()
for (a in al) {
    for (b in bl) {
        d <- rbind(d, f(a, b))
        #one could undoubtedly do this a lot better
        #even keeping to nested for loops
    }
}

One could replace it in this absolutely horrible way (take this only as a crude example):
eg <- expand.grid(al, bl)
d <- do.call(rbind,
    lapply(1:dim(eg)[1],
           function(i) {f(as.numeric(eg[i,1]), as.character(eg[i, 2]))}
           )
)

or using library(purrr), which is a little bit less inelegant:
d <- map_dfr(bl, function(b) map2_dfr(al, b, f))

... there are countless different methods. Which one is the simplest, and which one the fastest?
Here is a very quick evaluation of the performance of the three previous methods on my laptop:

A: Simply vectorize with expand.grid and nchar. No for or apply loops needed:
eg <- expand.grid(c=bl, n=al, stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
eg$val <- eg$n * nchar(eg$c)

# RE-ORDER COLUMNS
eg <- eg[c("n", "c", "val")]

Or one-line with transform:
eg <- transform(expand.grid(c=bl, n=al, stringsAsFactors = FALSE),
                val=n * nchar(c))[c("n", "c", "val")]

And if you set stringsAsFactors = FALSE in f function:
f <- function(n, c) {
  data.frame(n=n, c=c, val=n*nchar(c), stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
}

Output is equivalent to for loop dataframe:
all.equal(d, eg)
# [1] TRUE

A: n=rep(al,length(bl));e=rep(bl,length(al))
> cbind.data.frame(n,c=e,val=mapply(function(x,y)x*nchar(y),n,e))
  n   c val
1 2 foo   6
2 3 bar   9
3 4 foo  12
4 2 bar   6
5 3 foo   9
6 4 bar  12

or:
n=rep(al,length(bl));e=rep(bl,length(al))
cbind.data.frame(n,c=e,val=c(outer(al,bl,function(x,y)x*nchar(y))))
  n   c val
1 2 foo   6
2 3 bar   9
3 4 foo  12
4 2 bar   6
5 3 foo   9
6 4 bar  12

GERMANY: Toy of the Ape – Alternative Rock – The last Interview
[Artikel auf Deutsch @ Feinripp Magazine: https://www.feinripp.net/frankfurt-am-main/toy-of-the-ape]
A legendary band history with many stunning concerts and musical creations came to a fitting conclusion this autumn at the Devil´s Bound Festival in the Ponyhof with a final concert. The grandiose band Toy of the Ape disbanded in September after a seven-year stage career and two released CDs.
Since 2012 you could hear and see the four musicians rocking on the stages in the Rhine-Main area Grungiges and Alternatives, later as a trio. In August they offered a thrilling open air performance at the Traumschläger Straßenfest. In a last interview with singer and guitarist Michael Wiebusch we summed up the time with Toy of the Ape.
Guitar music. Honestly. Heavy. Rude. Emotionally charged. Loud. Tight. Timeless.
The trio consisted of Thomas Faust on the drums, Florian Pecora on lead guitar and Michael Wiebusch on vocals and bass guitar. In the beginning Tob was the fourth member on the bass guitar. The podcast contains the songs Down the Drain (4:00), Idly By (13:41), Just like Yesterday (20:36) and Simple Plan (27:54). The interview is in German, but the conversation also written down and translated into English in the following part.
Listen to Studiobesuch @ Radio X – TOY OF THE APE – Michael Wiebusch – Vocals & Bass byRadio X Interviews on hearthis.at
When did you start making music? At first there were four of you, now you're a trio.
Yeah, it's been a while. In 2012 I had the idea that I would have to make my own music again. I looked it up on the Internet. Today it's all on Facebook, I wasn't registered at all then. There I had found something at Quoka. de, band is looking for musicians – musician is looking for band. And there I found the possibility to sit down as a singer in my nest, because there was an ad: "Band with rehearsal room is looking for a singer". I showed up, there were three of them. The Tob, the Flea and the Thomas.
So you didn't get together four of you, you joined the band then.
Yeah, they've been looking for a long time. At least two years and already rehearsed, but with moderate success and satisfaction. Last time they had a singer who cancelled the rehearsal regularly. When I appeared there, I was hired by them a short time later. That was quite nice and also fitted stylistically equally well. That was cool. I heard the three playing and they were really tight to the point with Punsh. So I thought: You can do something with that!
How would you describe your music?
Alternative Rock, where you can clearly hear the 90s influences. A little grunge and alternative. Yeah, so Alternative Rock.
In your band time you also released two CDs.
Yes, a longplayer and an EP. The first, the LP, is called Ape of the Year. There was a release party in the Elfer in 2014, when he had moved relatively fresh to Sachsenhausen. There we released in the basement. The second was completed in spring 2018. The second one's five songs, the first one's eleven.
Tell me about the other musicians.
In the beginning it was fairly distributed, everyone did exactly one thing and did it as well as he could. Guitar, drums, bass and a separate singer who was me. Creatively it also went forward. They already had pretty cool riffs. At the beginning we had a very fruitful beautiful phase, where I could simply lay lyrics and vocal lines on already existing material in a short time. Then we had the first LP with the eleven songs, which was actually created after a few months. Well, at least the song material.
It just fitted. You and the music, it's a beautiful combination.
Yeah, that fit, it fitted together. But then we stupidly thought that we needed good promotion material and recorded everything before we really got to the gig. That took over a year and was a lot of work. That's why we got ourselves wrong as a studio band somehow. And we did the recordings completely on our own. The drums are recorded in the rehearsal room at Dornbusch. The guitar and bass at I don't know exactly where defined places, but that went straight into the computer. And most of the singing was sung in a living room in Offenbach. I wasn't in that shape then either. It took me a while to get the takes to sit. This would be faster now. But well, you also have to develop and that was six to seven years ago.
Some bands play for many years before an album is released, you just started the other way around. But then there were plenty of concerts.
Yes, but we're not all the scene people who are all the time Hansdampf in all the alleys. We are more focused on the music. That's good for the music on the one hand, and a pity for the world on the other. However, it has developed over the years and one has found one's niches in Frankfurt. The city is also not really the rock metropolis of Germany. So the squirrel feeds itself laboriously. But over the years some very nice gigs came together.
We just heard down the drain. What's with the song?
We don't really talk about it that much, we make the music. And it's just that everyone's got their lives to live. The song just has a horny riff. I don't know exactly who brought this, the Tob or the Flea. They had this riff at some point and then it developed and built up so organically and finally this Down the Drain came into being and grooved.
It just flows together well with you, therefore many also ask themselves the question, why do you dissolve yourselves then?
Yes well, when the interaction comes, it is a gift from the universe or the human psyche. So a band is not much different than a flat share or a romantic relationship. There are phases, they are simply dreamlike and other phases, there you simply have no wind in the sails. And then you can try to force something somehow, but that usually doesn't work either. Then you can just say, we're going to have a nice ending now, we're going to play a few more times and have a good time. And then we'll see where else life takes us. There are many new things and priorities, the other two are also family fathers and have two children. Then there were career changes.
Let's play some more of your music, shall we?
Now we hear Idly By, from when there were four of us. Tob still plays the bass intro, which I now play. I still took over the bass function from Tob, we are now only a trio. But in the Idly By version on the CD the Tob still plays the bass. In the beginning I was a pure singer in the band, but I also played guitar and keyboard in earlier bands. But actually always sung. It's always been my main thing. And write the lyrics. That's what I wanted to do, that's what I enjoyed.
You made all your CDs yourself, so you could say that you are also your own label.
Yeah, we recorded it all ourselves. But you have to say that the EP is also completely mixed and produced by yourself, but for the LP a certain Roland from Hamburg mixed and mastered with it. An old Frankfurt friend and colleague of my band members, who is now in the music business in Hamburg and helped us a bit. With the graphics from the EP we also had some help from a dream club collective colleague, from PunktSprengtLinie Photography.
Where have you been performing in the last few years, where have you been playing?
We've been in the 911 before. In Summasummarum, which is actually better known as Jazz Location. You can be pretty loud there, too. This is underground, under the little hell that unfortunately no longer exists. We've been to the pony yard. We got to play in bed once, that was cool too. At the Glowing Amber Festival. In the new rooms you also have more space and they have really good sound technology and great stage monitors. In Kriftel there is also a skirt shed, which is fun. The Satyr, we played there a few times. Recently we played in Hofheim on the city festival, or also in the E-Werk in Bad Homburg. This is also a very nice location. And last but not least at the street party of the Traumschläger Kollektiv, this is also a performance that was one of the most fun. It was really nice playing at the party in front of great people.
What's with the name? Toy of the Ape, the monkey's toy?
There's a very nice story about it. Toy of the Ape refers to the Stanley Kubrick classic 2001 – Odyssey in Space. And in the beginning the great apes attain this human consciousness and use tools. The monkey discovers the bone and sees the possibility of killing animals and defeating enemies with it and triumphantly throws the bone into the air. Then there's this famous cut and the bone becomes a spaceship. That's the nice story. Toy of the Ape. She's made it up afterwards. So, haha. Because we are so often asked about it. That could be imagined. Pop culture references are also always totally awesome. Especially when they refer to classics of film art. But that's all made up in retrospect to make a nice story out of it.
And what was it really like?
In fact, we needed a band name after all. So after a few weeks or months. Then we created an online spreadsheet where everyone could just throw in their ideas and we scored them with a certain voting. So we evaluated the results then. We actually entered this into the program bandname-generator.com and after around 135 clicks of the autogenerate button there plopped up as a result "Ape of the Toy". Then we just turned it around and thought, yes, it fits somehow. So "Toy of the Ape", sounds good. This suggestion quickly moved up to the top and we just turned it around and then we thought it was very cool!

In the Finnish trotting courses the horses are fastened in long shed-like stables next to each other for harnessing. Once, about 20 years ago, I was a curious horse lover walking past the stable with my friend. I noticed a particularly beautiful Finnhorse and praised it to my friend. When we turned around and walked back by the side of the shed I saw the other side of the beautiful horse. It was one-eyed having only an empty hole in its head on the other side. Beautiful changed to ugly and ideal to dreadful within one moment.

The Tower of Kadath
3 - 9 players players | Reviewed by Paul - Thursday 12th August 1999 @ 12:47am
First impressions of this map were mixed. You see I started off in some plain ass corridor with a round globe emitting light at me. Not impressed. I then happily bounced along to the end of the corridor and then was completely blown back by the HUGE construction in front of me. I actually quite liked it from the distance I was at. Then I realised that this was the map. Basically its a courtyard with surrounding corridors. In the middle of the courtyard is this tower. Weaponry is stored in some side corridors. It kind of like an organised shooting match. Everyone has to go to this one place, pick up their guns thenall get out and then start.
Now I thought I'd check out the r_speeds and wasn't particularly amazed to see it hitting the 1000+ mark. Taken in context though, this map was apparently made for use on a LAN party and with machines all using GLQuake so its not like was meant to suffer from slowdown.
My opinion now of the map is that it isn't very good at all. The architecture is on the basic side, the only reason the r_speeds are high is because of sheer scale of it all. Good old Quake doesn't like big open spaces, corridors are much more to its liking. Unreal seems to the engine of choice for big wide open boring spaces (dig, Shambler =p)
Its also a numbers map, the more people the more fun. Which is contradictory because there aren't many items to support much action in here.
Probably the most interesting thing about this map was this piece of text from the maps readme file: Too often in these later years of Quake play, people make maps because they can. They look nice, play well, and are loads of fun reg ardless. The Tower of Kadath was inspired by mental landscapes conjured from the stories of H.P. Lovecraft. His work inspired many aspects of Quake itself, such as Shub-Niggurath, Cthon (possible bastardization of Cthulu?), the map "The Nameless City", and more. Kadath attempts to give players access to several playing styles, each interconnected with the others. Initially this map was going to be for private lan play, however enough of the players liked it enough to suggest I release it. The r_speeds on this map get can get very high, but it played smoothly enough (or maybe no one lived long enough to notice). At any rate here it is, unaltered. A version optimized for net play may show up later.
So that explains the big spiky bits on the tower! Now the question I ask is how the heck do you optimise it for net play without destroying it? (If your answer to that is "That would be good thing", then I we agree)

Websites repeatedly stalked by fraudulent copycats, say researchers
Bradley Barth July 13, 2021
A spoofed Paypal webpage. (Image from Digital Shadows report.)
New research has shed some light on just how constantly corporate brands are bombarded by fraudulent attempts to impersonate their website domains. In its new "Impersonating Domains Report," researchers at Digital Shadows found that over a four-month span this year, its business clients on average witnessed 90 different fraudulent domains impersonating their websites and brands. That extrapolates to almost 1,100 imitated domains per year.
The reason: it's simple and cheap to set up a fake website, and so cybercriminals can stand new ones up as quickly as detected ones are reported and taken down.
"The tech's getting better and the cost is getting lower and those things are probably what's working against the [security] community," said Sean Nikkel, senior cyber threat intel analyst at Digital Shadows. Indeed, it's possible to register a subdomain for as little as five to 15 bucks, and even bulletproof hosting services and phishing and website-building toolkits are relatively affordable and intuitive to use, he said.
"Everything's built to be able to just plug in all the information you need, and an application will do it for you," said Nikkel. Sometimes "they give you a full tutorial on how to set everything up and [so] you don't necessarily need to have a network administrator or a systems admin level of knowledge to be able to set it up."
Jeremy Ventura, senior security strategist at Mimecast, said the findings are not especially surprising, considering that "over the last 18 months, we've seen the highest increase of cyberattacks across the board," including email-based phishing campaigns that, like phishing websites, can damage trust in a brand name.
"Anyone today can create a domain and then leverage software such as WordPress to quickly create a website," said Ventura. "The minimal time, resources and budget required to execute an attack, in combination with a high success rate, makes brand impersonation attacks an increasingly popular threat vector." Moreover, many targeted organizations struggle to interfere with these threats "because most lack the tooling and processes to gain visibility into where their domains reside online. And most don't realize the full extent to which their brand is being exploited until they begin proactively monitoring for it.
For its research, Digital Shadows' Photon Team analyzed a data set of more than 175,000 fraudulent domains. "That's actually the first time we've been able to analyze such a large set of data like this," said Nikkel. "It was interesting to get a baseline to understand where we are, and then as we can pull some data, and time goes on, it would be interesting to see basically how that number changes."
Digital Shadows reports that out of its total client base, businesses operating in the financial services, food and beverage, technology, health care, and insurance verticals were responsible for nearly half of all total risk events observed
"We didn't expect the food-and-beverage industry to have such a strong presence of risky domains," the report said. "Since it's a consumer-facing industry, we can surmise that some fraud is involved, especially if domains are serving up malware or being used for social engineering..."
Nikkel also noted that for certain industries, the number of domain threats that ultimately showed up in curated threat intelligence feeds was surprisingly low (and in some instances none at all). This could be for positive reasons – including incident response times improving such that the problem is handled before the threat ever makes it into the feed – or for negative reasons, including malicious actors findings ways to elude threat intel efforts.
Nikkel suspects it may be a mix of both.
"I've seen this before in previous campaigns where threat actors would basically register an entire block of domains and then just sit on them – and so maybe the domains themselves aren't raising red flags because they just haven't been spotted [yet]," said Nikkel
"Or maybe they just haven't had a long enough time to live, per se," he continued. After all, he noted, most email phishing domains stay up for fewer than 24 hours before the adversaries take them down, and it's reasonable to conclude that malicious actors are similarly giving impersonation domains short lifespans as well.
"And so a lot of times, threat feeds may not necessarily have the insights into those really quickly spun-up domains, to where it gets a chance to get caught by the community or it gets a chance to get analyzed in some way," said Nikkel. Sometimes the bad actors even rotate these domains in and out, "so it's definitely a numbers game, for sure."
At the same time, other malicious domains are being spotted and removed promptly. "At least the takedowns are happening quickly. Maybe it's… registrars and hosting companies that are being more compliant" about eliminating troublesome domains, Nikkel noted.
And it's also possible that certain industries are simply privy to better intel reports than others, Nikkel acknowledged.
While the report explains that website fraud schemes are often enabled through lookalike domains created through typosquatting techniques, it also makes reference to website compromises enabled through phishing and identity theft. These scams are often designed to trick site visitors into giving up their PII, login credentials and payment information, or to deliver malware to unsuspecting victims.
"The bad behavior could end there, but some enterprising threat actors see an impersonating domain simply as a gateway into a broader attack campaign," the report adds.
Digital Shadows suggests several ways to fend off such schemes, including monitoring domains, and preemptively registering variants of your domain name to prevent typosquatting. However, Ventura from Mimecast noted that the use of domain monitoring "is still rare, despite the increase in attacks."
The report also recommends more robust threat intel sharing, incorporating domain impersonation into security awareness training, and promptly reporting malicious domains to the authorities and demanding a takedown.
"There are lots of different ways to go through the whole takedown process," said Nikkel. "Typically, it's sending messages to the registrars or the hosting companies to let them know about the fraudulent content – and if they're legitimate, they'll comply with that. If not, there's lots of ways to engage law enforcement, if you're looking at some sort of really malicious campaign."
Nikkel also advised website operators to openly share threat updates with their own customers, warning them of any discoveryed malicious domains attempting to mimic their brand.
Ventura also offered his own tip on defense: "IT and security teams need to gain visibility into brand presence, and invest in technology and services that can proactively hunt for lookalike and malicious domains, so they can neutralize brand imitation on the web," he said. "In addition, investing in advanced web security technology can prevent employees from being able to access fake domains and malicious websites."
"Last but not least, services that provide monitoring to identify brand impersonation, including the Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC) email protocol, are a must for online brand safety. In fact, most of the time, brand protection services can help brands mitigate problems and more rapidly take down brand impersonation websites faster than organizations can do on their own."

Heber Valley Airport, which has most complaints in the country, could lose millions in FAA grants
Posted 5:57 pm, May 1, 2019, by Adam Herbets, Updated at 02:59PM, May 2, 2019
HEBER, Utah – The Heber Valley Airport has the most complaints out of any airport in the country, and now a watchdog group based out of Washington D.C. believes that unfortunate title won't be changing any time soon.
There's no doubt, the Heber City area has become more and more of a destination. Celebrities and other people with big money have bought homes in the area, which means people should be flying in and out all the time.
Instead, FOX 13 spoke to a number of pilots who said they have boycotted the airport due to a monopoly situation that price gouges customers.
"I talk to pilots all over the country who say, oh yeah, Heber. Not a chance I would ever fly in there," said one pilot, who asked to remain anonymous. "Pilots avoid flying here because of the prices and the treatment… People that come to the airport, they rent cars. They go to restaurants. They go to hotels. They spend money. It hurts the economy. It hurts the local economy."
Bill Hefland, who lives in Houston but owns a home in Park City, said he would rather fly into Salt Lake City International Airport than land his plane in Heber City. He said he blames the city for allowing fixed-based operator OK3 to charge "exorbitant" prices for fuel and other services due to a lack of competition.
According to Airnav.com, Heber Valley Airport charges significantly higher prices for fuel than any other airport in Utah. Prices are also significantly higher than the national average.
Hefland said he saves thousands of dollars by landing at Salt Lake City International Airport, even though it's inconvenient to UBER for almost an hour home after landing.
"I think its a little sad that people would be going to Salt Lake City instead of Heber City," said Ken Mead, general counsel for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. "Oddly enough, the fuel there is cheaper than it is in Heber City! Figure that out."
Mead said he has exchanged letters with Heber City, which is aware of the problem and started taking steps in 2017 to open the door to competition.
At the time, the AOPA was proud of Heber City for promoting competition and taking measures to reduce complaints.
Since then, the city has taken new measures to temporarily prevent any new development at Heber Valley Airport.
"We're very disappointed that they have regressed," Mead said. "It's a monopoly situation… You know that's what happens when you don't have competition."
Mead said he believes Heber Valley Airport has received approximately $20 million in federal grants from the Federal Aviation Administration, but the airport could be ineligible to receive that money if OK3 remains the exclusive fixed-based operator.
Representatives with the city initially agreed to speak to FOX 13 to share their side of the story, but have since changed their mind and have chosen not to comment.
Some pilots believe the city has taken measures to appease OK3 due to ongoing litigation between the two parties.
"Any time there's a problem, OK3 resorts to litigation, and now the city is intimidated by OK3," said one pilot. "I think there's a lot of stuff going on behind closed doors. I think there's a complete lack of transparency."
When FOX 13 attempted to speak to OK3, a representative with the company forwarded us to the city. A message left for the owner of the company was not immediately returned.

Solo act in King Henry's palace is Christmas treat
BAH humbug! If you have become disillusioned by the commercialism of Christmas, Charles Dickens' classic A Christmas Carol is a must-see to awaken your festive spirit.
The one-man show, adapted by Robert Perkins and performed by Michael Geary, will be performed at Hampton Court Palace from Monday until December 23.
The intriguing performance takes place in two acts. Act one is set in King Henry's magnificent great watching chambers, while act two moves in front of the roaring fire in the Tudor kitchens. In his unconventional style, Michael uses voice and gesture to populate the stage with a throng of characters and recreates the familiar journey of Ebeneezer Scrooge.
The haunting tale – first published in December 1843 – sees the infamous old miser visited by the ghosts of past, present and future in an effort to change his dim and thoughtless view on other people.
"Because it is a ghost story, Hampton Court Palace will be a perfect setting," Robert Perkins said. "The palace has so much history and they run ghost tours there, so we'll be in our element.
"People who come will really get the essence of Christmas and leave feeling festive."
Tickets for A Christmas Carol cost £15, £8 for children, with a minimum recommended age of 10. Performances start at 7pm and refreshments will be available before the show and during the interval. To book your tickets, call 0844 482 7795.


Why am I a DreamHoster?
This morning I reflected on me moving to DreamHost this year. And I wrote about it on my weblog. Feel free to comment!!
All Servers are on Debian GNU/Linux. That assures top speed and pretty secure to all types of hacking.
I think it is a little bias, isn't it ?
I am happy that you're happy. Honestly, I think there are other hosts that provide similar features for the same price. The reason I'm here is a combination of my friend's recommendation, the attitude of all the staff at DreamHost, their corporate irreverance to convention and self-awareness, and the community here.
Basically, it comes down to a feeling of belonging and a feeling of trust. I get the feeling that they'll take care of me and I get the feeling that you all here will watch out for me as well.
Now this is not to say that I think this has been everyone's experience, particularly those who've posted here about having their accounts canceled. It must be some feeling I have that I'm not like them, but that I'm more like the rest of you happy customers.
I can't believe that he didn't post a promo code.

Amazon announces halo, a fitness band and app that scans your body and voice
machine-learning, healthcaretechnology, healthcare
Roshina September 6, 2020, 9:38am #1
Amazon 's new fitness band and subscription service called Halo is entering the health gadgets market. The Amazon Halo Band doesn't have a screen, unlike the Apple Watch or even most basic Fitbits. The app that accompanies it comes with the usual set of fitness tracking features along with two innovative — and potentially troubling — ideas: using your camera to create 3D body fat scans and listening to your voice 's emotions.
The Halo Band, "is not a medical device," tells me Amazon. As such, it has not submitted the device to the FDA for approval of any kind, including the "FDA clearance" lighter-touch that so many other fitness bands have used.
THE HALO BAND HARDWARE
The Halo Band consists of a sensor module and a band on top of which clicks in.
The Halo Band's three colour choices There will, of course, be a set of optional bands, so you can pick one to fit your style — and they all have no small resemblance to famous Apple Watch bands.
The former uses your mobile camera to record your body's 3D scan and then measure your body fat, and the latter uses a Halo Band microphone to listen to your voice tone and report back during the day on your emotional state.
BODY SCANS
Body scans operate with the camera just on your mobile. Last but not least, while the Halo Band can be used by anyone 13 years of age and up, the body scan feature would only be available for people 18 or older. Amazon uses machine learning to test it once you have the 3D scan, and measure the percentage of body fat.
Amazon claims that the proportion of body fat is a more accurate health measure than either the weight or the body mass index.
when asked Amazon specifically about this and the company says it has placed a few precautions in what it hopes: the app advises that you only check yourself every two weeks, it won't let the slider reveal extremely low levels of body fat, and it has details about how low body fat can increase the risk for certain health problems.
Then it takes four images (front, back, and both sides) and uploads them to Amazon 's servers where they are merged into your phone's 3D scan of your body.
TRACKING THE TONE OF YOUR VOICE
It's a passive, sporadic device, which means you can't consciously ask it to read your speech, and it doesn't listen all the time.
Tone has been based on American English but it's just day one and Tone will keep improving.
Amazon is swift to remember that no humans can upload your voice to any server and never hear it. You can also mute the microphone at any time by pressing the button until a red blinking LED appears momentarily to inform you that it is muted.
Amazon says the Halo software deletes the voice samples directly after it analyses them for your emotional state. Some of the emotional states include words like hopeful, elated, hesitant, bored, apologetic, happy, worried, confused, and affectionate.
Body scans and tone data may be separately deleted from the rest of your health data.
Your Halo profile is distinct from your Amazon account — and it will need to be activated individually with a second factor like a text message, so that anyone else who might share your Amazon Prime will not be able to access it.
"Voice samples are stored locally and never submitted to the cloud," says Amazon, adding that "Tone data will not be used for training purposes." Data can be shared with third parties, including certain partners such as the WW (formerly Weight Watchers).
ACTIVITY AND SLEEP TRACKING
The Halo Band uses its heart monitor to differentiate between activity that is extreme, moderate and mild. The app combines those to ensure that you hit a target weekly. Instead of asking the hourly "stand" of the Apple Watch, the Halo app tracks how long you've been "sedentary." If you're going for more than eight hours without doing much (not counting sleep), the app will start deducting from your weekly score of activities.

Sister Joan Toomey, MM
Born: January 18, 1934
Died: September 18, 2018
In the early hours of Tuesday, September 18, 2018, here at the Maryknoll Sisters Center, Sister Joan Toomey, peacefully and gently went home to God. She was 84 years old and had been a Maryknoll Sister for 66 years. A week earlier Joan had been anointed and during the days that followed, her Maryknoll Sisters, including Sister Martha Bourne, and dear friends, David and Mary Hoysic, accompanied her in loving and prayerful vigils.
Sister Joan Toomey was born on January 18, 1934 to Hazel (Warner) Toomey and Joseph John Toomey in New Orleans, LA where she was known as 'Jo Ann'. She had one sister, Elaine.
Joan loved music. This love of music began early. She played trumpet in both grade and high school. After graduating from Dominican High School in New Orleans, Joan (or 'Jo Ann') entered the Maryknoll Sisters Congregation on September 2, 1952 from Our Lady of Lourdes Parish in New Orleans. Here at Maryknoll she began to pronounce her name Joan. This is the name she used thereafter and by which her Sisters have always known her. At her reception, she received a religious name, Sister Lourdes Marie. Following Vatican II, she returned to her baptismal name Joan. She made first Profession of Vows on September 8, 1955 at the Maryknoll Sisters Motherhouse, NY and Final Vows on September 8, 1961 in Los Angeles, CA.
Following profession, Sr. Joan studied at Maryknoll Teachers College graduating with a Bachelor of Education degree in 1960. That year she received her first mission assignment to St. Francis Xavier Japanese Parish in Los Angeles. There she taught in the parish school and assisted with the school Drum and Bugle Corps.
In 1962, Sr. Joan received a new assignment to the Central Pacific Region where she taught Math and Science at Maryknoll Grade School in the Punahou district of Honolulu, Hawaii. In 1969 after 7 years of service in Hawaii, she was asked to return to the Maryknoll Sisters Center to help usher the Maryknoll Sisters into the computer age. To prepare for this new challenge Sister Joan served in the Data Processing Department while studying at Pace University for a Master's degree in Business Administration which she received in 1973. She was Manager of Computer Services at the Sisters' Center from 1974 to 1981. In January 1976, Sr. Joan was assigned to the Eastern US Region and lived in Ossining while continuing to work as the Manager of the Computer Services. From 1981 – 1986, Sr. Joan was appointed Director of the Development Department. During this time of service, Sr. Joan also shared her gift of music with the entire community. She served the Maryknoll Center as the Liturgy-Music Coordinator.
In 1986, Sister Joan was assigned to Hong Kong with the hope of teaching in China. In preparation, she studied Mandarin in Taiwan briefly. However, due to student uprisings in China, she was never able to achieve that desire. Instead, she became a lecturer in Math and Computer Studies at Lingnan College in Hong Kong. During her years there, Lingnan College began preparation to be raised to University level and a whole new campus was being built in the Hong Kong New Territories. Joan assisted with the preparations for the upgrading of Lingnan. She said of her time in Hong Kong, "I have always valued getting to know and appreciate my students and their families' cultures. For all these years of service and blessings, I am grateful to God and to those with whom I have shared my life."
In 1995, her sister, Elaine, became very ill. Joan returned to Maryknoll, NY and served as Congregational Service Director until 2002, traveling every year to New Orleans to care for Elaine. In 2003, Sister Joan was assigned to the Treasury Department as the Special Projects Assistant until 2011. During this time, she continued visiting and caring for her sister until her sister's death in 2015. Soon afterwards, Joan, due to her failing health, moved to Maryknoll's Assisted Living where she remained in the dedicated care of the nurses and aids until her death. Both Sr. Joan and her faithful companion, Sr. Martha Bourne, were deeply grateful for the loving care Joan received from the wonderful professional staff.
We are happy to welcome with us this morning, our Maryknoll brother, Father Mike Duggan, who will officiate at the Mass of Resurrection.


All year I have been keeping track of how many beers I've drank and movies I've watched. The final totals are 148 movies and 611 beers. About one third of those drinks came as part of Novare Res' Uprising challenge.
For 2009, I'll be keeping track of movies and beers, as well as the books I read. To view this list there is a Movie + a Beer link at the top of every page.
I'm going to start a mildly ambitious project this year: document every film I watch and every beer I drink. I think I have fairly diverse tastes in both categories, and for a brief period in college, I kept a list of all the movies I watched, but this is my first attempt to catalog and analyze my viewing and drinking habits. I'm hoping it will be insightful, but perhaps all we'll discover is that I drink too much High Life and PBR. Either way, I think it will be fun. The list will be stored on a separate page, linked from the bar above. I'll update it as often as warranted. So far, we're at 3 movies, 1.5 beers.
I've had an Amazon gift certificate sitting on my computer desk for well over a month now. I was waiting until after Christmas to use it, as I didn't want to buy something that someone was planning on giving me as a gift (and before you say I should have spent it on a gift for someone, I did all of my shopping at independent retailers this year—all local retailers, except for one gift, actually). I was about to spend it on the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion expansion The Shivering Isles, which costs slightly more than the certificate I have, when I thought to check in with my credit card company to see how close I am to redeeming my award points for another gift certificate. I was happy to discover I'm less than 50 points away. With the money I spent on gas over the holidays, I've already passed the mark! All I need to do now is wait until the end of the billing cycle, and another certificate will be sent to me. That will be $50 I can spend at Amazon. That almost pays for an entire new video game (the Oblivion disc, since it's an expansion, is under $30)! Now the question is, which game should I get? I'm thinking I will pick-up Mass Effect, a huge sci-fi RPG (I've been itching to get into another RPG), but suggestions are welcome. Check out my video games wish list at Kaboodle, and offer up any advice you have.
In other news, as of this posting, here are my stats for the year: Movies – 2, Beers – .5. But both of those numbers are about to be increased by 1 each.
Enjoy these highlights from the greatest holiday film of all time!
Last night at the Great Lost Bear, Luke, Nissa and I came up with a fun game that perfectly complements sitting around with friends and drinking Shipyard Preludes: invent outlandish movie cossovers. Here's how you do it: select two or three unrelated movie characters you'd like to see make a movie together, and then pick a film's plot and setting. It works best when each item is from a different movie. For example: Data from Star Trek: TNG, Ruby from The Fifth Element, and Kathrine Zeta-Jones' character from The Phantom doing It's a Wonderful Life set to the backdrop of A Very Long Engagement. Doesn't that sound like something you'd want to see?

Q: Hiding the source CSS code Hello recently i have seen sites ,that hides their source css when viewed their source!
How is this exactly possible..
I assume some javascript may do the trick.
 this is a piece of code that i found on Google.

var cssFile = document.createElement('link');
cssFile.type = 'text/css';
cssFile.rel = 'stylesheet';
cssFile.href = '/test.css';
cssFile.media = 'screen';
cssFile.title = 'dynamicLoadedSheet';
document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(cssFile);

So is this code going to hide my css or will fake the users the origin of css..?

A:
So is this code going to hide my css

No

or will fake the users the origin of css..?

No

It will make it very slightly harder to spot using View Source… but I haven't see anyone use that as the first approach to examine how a page works for years. DOM inspector tools will show the generated <link> element, and will show the styles applying to any given element along with a link to the stylesheet file they appear in. Network monitoring software (including that which is built into Firebug, Chrome Developer Tools, etc, etc) will show the HTTP requests and responses for the stylesheets too.

What it will do, is delay any loading of the CSS until the JS has run. That is all.
This may be so that some CSS is only used in browsers which have JS enabled (the CSS might hide some content which is then only revealed via JS interactions, so the author wants it to default to being visible if it can't later be revealed with JS).
This may be so that the content loads first and gets styled later (as a hack to give content loading performance priority over content styling).

A: There are tools like Firebug, Chrome Developer Tools and Web Developer Tools in almost all the major browsers and as how the browser sees the CSS and resources, they too see them in the same way and would get the CSS.
I was saying about the resources like these:

*

*Firebug

(source: getfirebug.com)

*Chrome Dev Tools

(source: How to View and Edit CSS in Chrome Developer Tools)

*F12 Web Developer Tools in Internet Explorer

(source: microsoft.com)
All these tools show the CSS file as well as what styles are inherited, and which elements inherit them.
There is NO way to hide the client side components like CSS.
What you are doing might slow down the performance of the browser and load time of the page, thereby annoying the visitors (if they are in large numbers) and becomes a usability problem.

A: Here is code to hide CSS:
First on JavaScript
$(window).load(function(){//Function call On Load windows

    $.post("Ajax.php?action=getCss",{},function(data){//Ajax Request To CSS
        $("#Corecss").html(data);// Paste CSS in Corecss div without Showing
    });
 });//Thanks Hashaam zahid From Pakistan

In the HTML:

In PHP, create an Ajax.php file
if($_GET['action']=='getCss')
{
$sDbServerName="localhost";$sDbUserName="***";$sDbPassword="*****";$sDbName="Data";// Connection with database server $dbConnect=mysql_connect($sDbServerName,$sDbUserName,$sDbPassword);if($dbConnect)
{

      echo   '<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/creative.css" type="text/css">';

}
else
{
    die("You Cannot Do it With Css");
}

}//Thanks From Hahshaam zahid     ( ittuc.com )  and facebook/HashaamKhan321


Wonderful property adjacent to the recreation path and Ten Mile Creek, hidden on a cul-de-sac just a couple short blocks off main street and close to lake Dillon and the Marina. Freshly painted, a clean palette ready for you to move in and design to your liking. A rare opportunity like this doesn't come along every day... easy to show, don't wait, call your REALTOR today. Thank you.

OECD reviews global e-invoicing regimes
Author: Richard Asquith Published on: 29/09/2022 Published in: Global
Evaluation of electronic invoicing implementations with recommendations for global tax administrations; harmonisation not possible
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development has issued an initial findings report "Tax Administration 3.0 and Electronic Invoicing' on electronic invoicing for tax authorities looking to introduce the VAT/GST control reform, or looking to update their existing e-invoicing regime.
Check our global e-invoicing tracker for country-by-country analysis.
The OECD report is based on the responses by 71 tax authorities to a survey analysing different existing solutions of e-invoicing and real-time transmission of invoice transaction data. This includes detailed case studies for Chile DTE, Hungary RTIR, Italy SdI Finland, Canada and Spain SII which have a range of post-audit and pre-clearance Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC) regimes.
Get our free VAT newsletter for international VAT updates.
Half of tax authorities operate transaction reporting
The OECD found a range of transaction reporting regimes in 46% of the 71 authorities that replied:
VAT Listings is the obligation imposed on taxpayers to submit VAT transactional data according to a national format.
SAF-T reporting is a specific form of DRRs based on the OECD's standard.
Real-time reporting is the obligation on taxpayers to transmit transactional data shortly after issuance of the invoice. The data required can be extracted from the invoice, but the invoice itself does not need be transmitted to the tax authority.
e-invoicing is a compliance system requiring taxpayers to issue a structured e-invoice for VAT purposes. 'Structured' means that the e-invoice must conform to a machine-readable standard, so that it can be automatically processed. The e-invoice as a whole, or a set of data therefrom, must then be transmitted to the tax authority, prior to its issuance, as it takes place, or shortly thereafter.
The reasons for not imposing transaction reporting varied:
Opportunity for harmonisation gone
Whilst the OECD did look at the opportunities for harmonisation of interoperability of systems between jurisdictions to help businesses comply, it quickly concluded this would not be possible. The need for local requirements and objectives meant that tax administrations have introduced many varying systems. The problem with e-invoice standards is that there are so many. Among the well-known standards are the UN/CEFACT cross-industry invoice (CII), the OASIS UBL (ISO/IEC 19845) International Standard, and the European standard on e-invoicing (EN 16931) which was developed and published by the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN).
The impacts of this uncoordinated the development of different versions of electronic invoicing holds lessons for the importance, where possible, of international collaboration on the development of systems which apply across borders to minimise the emergence of significant and persistent burdens which can impact both business and tax administrations and which can potentially become unsustainable in the light of changing business models.
E-invoice considerations; SAF-T update
The report does present a set of considerations that tax administrations may want to take into account in exploring the possible introduction or reform of electronic invoicing. For example, the role of digital signatures to secure the authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation of e-invoices. Also, the role of Peppol
It als provides a brief update on initial work undertaken on the latest state of play with the implementation of the OECD Standard Audit File for Tax which is being used by some administrations as part of periodic transaction reporting for VAT.
Future e-invoicing and other digital reporting initivites – pre-filled VAT returns
The OECD report also assessed the tax authorities' plans for introducing e-invoicing and similar measures. The results showed that pre-completed VAT returns were highest on tax administrations' minds:
EU e-invoicing plans to be revealed November 2022
EU VAT in the Digital Age reforms include a channel for harmonised Digital Reporting Requirements (DRR) and Continuous Transaction Controls (CTC)
by EU states. This grew from the 2020 EU Tax Action Plan proposals for a fairer and more efficient EU tax regime.

Now is the best time to invest in Armenia –PM
Siranush Ghazanchyan Send an email January 22, 2018, 15:35
Armenia has a developing economy able to resist unpredictable global changes, Armenia's Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
He said while the final results of 2017 have not been summed up, the economic growth will definitely be higher than expected.
Speaking about the Eurasian Economic Union, PM Karapetyan said "its logic is very understandable and pragmatic" to Armenia. "The Eurasian integration project broadened our economic boundaries, providing access to a capacious market of almost 180 million market without customs borders."
The Prime Minister added that the favorable business climate in Armenia will enable the country to become a platform for Russian entrepreneurs to access new markets.
"We have a preferential trade regime with the US, Canada, Switzerland, Norway and Japan. Armenia is also one of the 10 countries in the world that enjoys a GSP+ system with the European Union, which allows the country to export about 6,400 goods to the EU on preferential terms," Karen Karapetyan said.
He reminded that a free economic zone was launched on Iran border last year. "We believe it is a good platform for the Russian business and capital. The Prime Minister said it provides access to the 80-million Iranian market, thus creating a basis for establishment of joint ventures," he noted.
"As member of the Eurasian Economic Union with a preferential trade regime with the EU, a shared border with Iran and an attractive investment and business climate, Armenia can pose a serious interest to exporting and importing industries, which can use Armenia's trade and logistic capacities stemming from its geographical location," Karen Karapetyan stated.
The Prime Minister stated that one of the utmost goals is to create maximally comfortable conditions for doing business in the country and assured "that now is the best time to invest in Armenia."


Former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley can be heard on the new single released by Altitudes & Attitude, the band formed by Megadeth bassist David Ellefson and Anthrax counterpart Frank Bello.
Frehley recorded a solo for "Late," which appears on the group's debut album Get It Out, which will be released on Jan. 18. It follows a self-titled EP that arrived in 2014.
You can watch the "Late" video below.
