One Tarte Shape Tape Concealer is sold every 20 seconds. Take that in for a minute. The creamy, buttery formula that hugs your under-eye and spreads to cover everything in its path (dark circles, fine lines) has garnered a well-deserved devoted fan base. And now, POPSUGAR can exclusively share that Shape Tape is getting a sister!
You've seen the teases, and we can confirm that Shape Tape Foundation ($39) is coming this month. There is more — Tarte is having twins, because there are two formulas! Plus, there's a new paddle brush and blending sponge. Deep breath in . . . deep breath out. It all launches at tarte.com on Jan. 15, at ulta.com on Jan. 21, and in Ulta stores on Feb. 4. Bets on how many of those babies will sell per minute?
Let's chat through every single detail of these two formulas that include — you guessed it! — Matte and Hydrating finishes. The bottles are packaged almost identical, save for the fact that Matte has a purple strip under the cap and Hydrating has a blue one. It truly looks like a giant Shape Tape Concealer in that the cap has the same purple chevron-and-gold pattern. Shape Tape Foundation also has a bigger doe-foot wand shaped just like the concealer wand.
The Tarte Shape Tape Matte Foundation is your vegan, oil-free, full-coverage pick. Oh yes, and it's waterproof, so you can check off the "stay-all-day" box. Think of it as a big version of the Shape Tape concealer in that it will totally correct and cover everything under it, including smoothing over pores, acne, and redness. This is your Instagram filter in a bottle. It's so matte, in fact, that you won't need setting powder on top of it. The 15 shades are made of vitamin E, which offers emollient and antioxidant properties, as well as mineral pigments to offer that soft, airbrushed look.
A rep from the brand suggests applying it in sections to your face, because it sets quickly. It is recommended to use it with Tarte's new Double Duty Beauty paddle brush ($28) — which is gold and purple, matching the whole Shape Tape line. The soft, yet dense brushes buff the formula in to create a doll-like canvas.
The Tarte Shape Tape Hydrating Foundation is for those of us who love to look dewy and are all about skin care. The oil-free formula promises 12 hours of wear with a luminous finish. The gel-like texture is creamy and more blendable than its Matte counterpart. You can still see the skin under it, but if you like lighter foundations, note it can be built up to thicker coverage. It also feels a bit more cooling on the skin than the Matte version. We would suggest the Hydrating one for warmer months and tropical vacations since it will give you a glowy look and resist against sweat.
What's more: our Hydrating friend is packed with skin-benefiting ingredients. It has collagen and hyaluronic acid to plump skin, as well as biopolymer filling spheres that help to smooth out your complexion while keeping moisture in the skin cells. There are also holistic ingredients like barley extract (firms the outer layer of skin), vitamin C (an antioxidant that is potent against the sun), and the brand's signature Amazonian clay (provides the longwear property we love from Tarte).
Like Matte, the Hydrating formula is meant to go with a special blending tool. The Shaper Contouring Sponge ($18) has a festive, two-tone purple marble print. It's rounded on one side, with two flat sides that are meant for blending and contouring. The precision chiseled tip — which is a flat rectangle — fits into hard-to-reach spots, such as around your nose or eyes. To use, simply wet it with water (old school), serum (to look even dewier), or setting spray (for a mattifying effect), and blend the gel foundation in.
The 15-shade range includes porcelain, fair beige, fair-light neutral, light neutral, light sand, light-medium beige, light-medium honey, light-medium sand, medium honey, medium sand, medium neutral, medium-tan honey, tan sand, deep honey, and mahogany.

Apple Reveals New Hot-Shot Security Features of iPad Pro 2020
Posted by Editor April 6, 2020 April 6, 2020
Apple claims one level-up security in all-new iPad Pro 2020. The new iPad Pro is an unobtrusive redesign from the past model. Presently, it's become exposed that there's a security include in the new iPad Pro which is all new to Apple tablets. The principle modifications are the presentation of numerous cameras on the back which, together with the LiDAR scanner nearby, could be transformational for Augmented Reality (AR) applications.
However, the main hardware differences are another processor, the A12Z Bionic, which for some is excessively firmly identified with the past A12X Bionic for their liking.
And afterward, there was a doubt about whether the new iPad incorporated the U1 Ultra Wideband chip found on the most recent iPhones.
Also Read : Apple Launches New COVID-19 Screening Tool
What is the U1 Ultra-Wideband Chip?
Most of the common people don't know about U1 Ultra Wideband Chip. It's a keen little newcomer to the universe of Apple devices. The main goal of the U1 is to include a sort of spatial attention to the iPhone. Furthermore, more capacities are guaranteed for the future, maybe to do with the supposed AirTag location gadgets, making conceivable graphic augmented reality (AR) acknowledge of precisely where you lost your keys, specs, cell phone, whatever.
The new iPad Pro launched a week ago, is an unobtrusive yet advantageous move up to the new-style Apple tablet initially found in Fall 2018. Be that as it may, when it launched, a few news outlets clarified that the tablet likewise has one the most captivating hardware variations which appeared on the iPhone 11. That is the U1 Ultra Wideband chip. But, there's no U1 chip in the iPad Pro. Apple has not reached expectations of us because it doesn't include the chip, but it is also true that Apple never said it had.
It's a strong security include which physically separates the microphones on the PC when the lid is locked. In this way, regardless of whether a hacker figured out how to get into your PC some way or another and was monitoring to you, locking the lid would stop their little game.
Splendid, yet how might you copy such a device on something like a tablet which, clearly, doesn't have a closable lid?
It turns out you can do it when you have a perfect case connected.
Apple Platform Security reveals a Document, That Explains…
According to a document, reveals in an Apple Platform Security, the new form is the only tablet that incorporates features presented on recent Mac PCs.
"All Mac portables with the Apple T2 Security Chip feature a hardware disconnect that ensures the microphone is disabled whenever the lid is closed. On the 13-inch MacBook Pro and MacBook Air-computers with the T2 chip, and on the 15-inch MacBook Pro portables from 2019 or later, this disconnect is implemented in hardware alone. The disconnect prevents any software—even with root or kernel privileges in macOS, and even the software on the T2 chip—from engaging the microphone when the lid is closed. (The camera is not disconnected in hardware, because its field of view is completely obstructed with the lid closed.)
iPad models beginning in 2020 also feature the hardware microphone disconnect. When an MFI compliant case (including those sold by Apple) is attached to the iPad and closed, the microphone is disconnected in hardware, preventing microphone audio data being made available to any software—even with root or kernel privileges in iPadOS or in case the firmware is compromised."
This is a significant element and includes noteworthy peace of mind. So, there's just one 2020 iPad, and that's the latest iPad Pro. MFI, Made For iPhone/ iPad/ iPod shows products that have been authorized by Apple.

For the first time in Palestine, Palestinian engineers managed to produce electricity from sewage in the city of Nablus in the West Bank, after establishing a sewage treatment facility, Wafa News Agency reported.
However, what makes this station unique is the fact that it is also used to generate electricity from the methane gas emitted from the sewage treatment.
The station can also produce, in addition to treated water, seven megawatts of electricity a day to run it. This means the municipality will also be able to save 1000 euros a day in electricity it would have bought from Israel to run the plant.
Plant manager and head of German projects in Nablus, Suleiman Abu Ghoush, told WAFA that the idea of producing electricity from methane gas was not there at the start of the project. However, after it was realized that the quantity of methane gas that will be produced would be enough to generate electricity that will run the station, it was decided to go ahead with it.
He said the station was a success story for the municipality since it became a permanent source of alternative energy that depends on waste-water and sewage.
With the success of this project, the Nablus municipality plans to build another treatment plant on the other side of the city that will also be able to generate enough electricity and water to serve the city's residents.

We've been doing some totally fun work recently at the school DML Lab.
Our machines were perhaps too slow to run the game efficiently, and it took a while to learn the game mechanics/terms before delving into the genetics content, but the overall response from the students was quite positive. They were inspired to continue the quest and learn more about the Radix world/ecosystem, plants, animals. MIT Education Arcade formal beta starts in Feb., I believe.
The DML Lab received some funding from the National Writing Project for an Educator Innovator Grant. Earlier in the year, I used some of those funds to offer faculty PD sessions in Mozilla's PopcornMaker with roughly 15+ faculty from the local high school and two elementary schools. The idea here was to use Popcorn to loosen up, relax, and play with digital media in fun ways by making presentations that draw content from the live web. This resource is ideal in that it encourages a high level of participatory engagement with the web as teachers create perpetually morphing experiences with video, location, Wikipedia, Soundcloud, Flickr, etc.
And, inspired by a student I work with, I used some of the Educator Innovator funds to purchase a PrintrBot Simple for roughly $300. The printer arrived—-unassembled—-and soon there was a bunch of students hanging out during Directed Study, building the printer and hacking various other projects. Very exciting. AutoDesk123D Catch, for example, offers a cell phone capture app we're looking forward to using.
Hopefully we'll soon print our first test cube. We've run into problems though because the PrintrBot shipped with no firmware on the card.
We're also headed to Williams College to see the 3D printer they constructed this winter term.
Addendum: we checked out artist Lorna Barnshaw's work. She attempted to 3D print herself. Seeing her work got us thinking about some of the possibilities beyond merely printing representations of geometric shapes or human forms. What, for instance, would it look like to print a spoken word?

The SoG at a distance - Getting the best from the treasures in the Library of the Society of Genealogists.
This week's feature for #AncestryHour comes from Else Churchill, a familiar name to many of us as the genealogist at the 'Society of Genealogists' in London. Her article is packed with useful information and links for researchers out there, for whom, like myself, London is not easily accessible. It focuses on the information that is available online, how to find it, and where to go for further help and advice.
The Society of Genealogists is the UK's largest genealogical society and the National Family History Centre. On the centenary anniversary of the Society foundation in 1911 the Independent newspaper described the Society's Library as "the world's best genealogical library outside the USA"; an accolade that the Society works hard to live up to!
In addition to providing resources for anyone researching ancestors from the UK, Ireland and overseas, the Society is also an educational charity and hosts an extensive programme of events and courses. The Society actively seeks to represent and advocate on behalf of the UK's genealogical community and of course publishes an esteemed, award winning series of genealogical guides which are available from the Society's online bookshop or as e.books from Amazon. The Society's journal the Genealogists Magazine is published and sent to members four times a year.
Home to the Society is the large four storey Charterhouse Buildings, off Goswell Road on the borders of the City of London and Clerkenwell and about a 5 minute walk from the Barbican underground station. It houses the Society's extensive library of printed books, unpublished research notes and pedigrees compiled over the last century. Essentially the Society aims to help you build your family tree by asking where did your ancestors live? what did they do?, and has any research been done before on the family? Hence the library collects genealogical resources relating to the places where our ancestors lived and what they did in their lives and seeks to be a repository for published and unpublished genealogical research and reference material.
The Library is free to members who pay an annual subscription and to non-members on payment of a daily search fee. Information on the joining administration fee and annual subscription can be found by clicking on benefits of membership on any page of the website. Membership is discounted for those who live outside the UK .
The Society appreciates that not everyone can conveniently visit the Society's building in London and would much prefer to access the library and collections online from home and that is becoming increasingly possible, but of course not everything in our library is our copyright or ours to publish online.
The Society's website www.sog.org.uk , which has undergone a major overhaul in recent years, is the first and most important place to find information and resources. The tabs at the top with drop down menus for each of the subject areas enable easy navigation round the content pages on the site.
The News pages http://www.sog.org.uk/news include regular blog updates about the Society of Genealogist's activities and news about and for the genealogical community. This news is fed through RSS feeds out to the Society's Twitter account @SoGgenealogist and to our Facebook page so there are plenty of opportunities to follow our latest news and comments through Social Media.
The Learn pages http://www.sog.org.uk/learn on the SoG website are a good way to get some free help and advice on researching your family history. The Record Guides includes several useful free information leaflets and in-depth record guides to the most commonly used genealogy records which can be downloaded as free PDFs. This includes an overview of how to Start Family history with the Society of Genealogists http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/help-getting-started-with-genealogy/guide-two/ which lists general useful sources, websites and tips.
More in-depth record guides show how to find and use important genealogical sources such as:
Civil Registration Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates
http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/help-getting-started-with-genealogy/guide-three/ , Census
http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/help-getting-started-with-genealogy/guide-four/ , Parish Registers
http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/help-getting-started-with-genealogy/guide-six/,
Nonconformist sources
http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/help-getting-started-with-genealogy/guide-seven/,
http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/help-getting-started-with-genealogy/guide-five/ , Criminal Records
http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/help-getting-started-with-genealogy/guide-7-criminal-records/ etc., with links to helpful websites .
There are also useful hints and tips pages
http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/education-sub-page-for-testing-navigation/ which give advice on some of the common questions directed at the Society, such as how to find, or even become, a professional researcher, or how to read documents or surname searching at the Society of Genealogists (I'll come back to this guide later).
Most of the SoG's education programme takes place on site but the Society does have a distance learning partnership with Pharos Tutors and information about the joint Family History Skills and Strategies Courses for intermediate level students can be found on the Learn pages of the website http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/distance-learning-courses/distance-learning-courses-family-history-skills-and-stratagies . An advanced online distance learning course starts in 2016. Educational events and courses can be booked online and publications can be ordered through the online bookshop.
If you have hit a brick wall then the Society has various ways to help and advise members and non-members about their family history research. The website's 'Learn' menu has direct links http://www.sog.org.uk/the-library/advice-service/ to show you how to get advice from Library volunteers & staff, either by personal consultations in the library on Saturday afternoon, or using the Advice Telephone Line +44 (0) 20 7490 8911 on Thursdays 6pm - 7.45 pm or Saturdays 11 am - 1pm and 2pm - 4 pm. Of course the Society happily answers questions via email directed genealogy@sog.org.uk.
Members of the Society of Genealogists also have the opportunity to Ask an Expert http://www.sog.org.uk/learn/ask-an-expert/ directly by enrolling on the SoG Members Roots Web email list. A question posted on the list appears as an email to any member who has subscribed, and the enquirer can draw upon the many years of collective knowledge and expertise of fellow members who can make suggestions and offer to help. You never know - you may even link in to someone who wrote a book on the subject. Many will be familiar with our member Experts who also offer the personal 'one to one' consultations at the ever popular Ask the Experts area of the Who Do You Think You Are? Live genealogy show in Birmingham.
SoG Library
The Library pages http://www.sog.org.uk/the-library of the website include lots of information about the library. As well as information about visiting the building in London, its arrangement, floor guide, the opening hours, day search fees and directions etc., the library news highlights new accessions and collections acquired by the library and additions to the digitised online data. The Society's Librarian, Tim Lawrence, frequently gives talks on using the library and its collections, and the PowerPoint Slides from his talks http://www.sog.org.uk/the-library/library-talks can also be found on the library pages with some interesting illustrations of sources that it contains.
The Society's Library in Clerkenwell is housed over four floors. As many Americans don't use the term ground floor the SoG calls it's floors the Lower Library (basement level), Ground Floor, Middle Library (first floor level) and Upper Library (second floor level).
The reception where all visitors must sign in, along with the bookshop, cloakroom and common room (for refreshments) are to be found on the Ground Floor.
The main focus of the library is in the Lower Library which holds the computers suite with free onsite access to online genealogy data sites as well microforms and CDs. The unique manuscript, document, research notes and special collections are found here also and staff and volunteers will fetch these for you from the closed access areas.
The main reference enquiry and help desk is in the Middle Library where you will also find books on the open county shelves. These relate to the places in England, Wales and Scotland where your ancestors lived arranged by the older counties, as they were prior to 1974.
The Upper Library holds printed and bound family histories and pedigrees, books relating to education and apprenticeship, religions, professions trades and occupations, the armed services and the overseas shelves.
A floor guide can be downloaded on the library pages of the website:
http://www.sog.org.uk/uploads/Floor_guide_(Mar10)_2.pdf - where you will find visitor information, directions and information for preparing for a visit.
I have to stress that there are many ways to search the Society's library and collections and there is no one single search that leads you to everything we may hold concerning the places, names and families you are researching.
The website page "Search Records" http://www.sog.org.uk/search-records guides an enquirer through the many pathways to finding information and provides several options for searching the various types and formats of materials in the library.
Start with Search Records Pages of the website, particularly using the Library Catalogue http://s10312uk.eos-intl.eu/S10312UK/OPAC/Index.aspx which lists most (but not all) of what we have in various media – books, CDs, microforms, maps etc but NOT the various manuscript archive collections.
There are various options for searches using the advanced search menu but most questions can probably be answered using the 'browse search' which defaults to subject search, such as a place or a surname, but you can also use the drop down menu to browse for author, title and publisher. While you can do more sophisticated searches using the advanced menu, the simple 'browse by subject' is an excellent place to see if the Society has a relevant printed family history or holds copies of the records for a place where your ancestors come from.
The Society holds transcripts, indexes and copies of records relating to most of the parishes in the counties of the United Kingdom. In addition to church registers and monumental inscriptions from churchyards and cemeteries, the library has an extensive local history source collection, many local directories, poll books and journals. The library's military library is one of the best outside the National Army Museum. Many of the sources we hold for the British overseas supplement records in other archives like the Indian resources and collections which are second only to the British Library's Oriental and India Collections. The Society collects and has indexed apprenticeship records, and has other extensive resources relating to occupations, trades and professions. The Society is home to the largest collection of family histories, many of which are unique, together with published pedigrees and biographical reference material.
The manuscript archives aren't catalogued online but the website's 'Search Records' page also has some quick look-up lists of surnames represented in the document manuscript collections of research notes and ephemeral family papers http://www.sog.org.uk/search-records/index-of-the-document-collection/,
the 7000 roll pedigrees in the archives
http://www.sog.org.uk/search-records/pedigrees/
and the members' birth briefs
http://www.sog.org.uk/search-records/introduction-to-the-birth-brief-collection/.
If you can't get to the library to view an item then the website has links to the Society's paid search/copy service http://www.sog.org.uk/the-library/search-copy-service which explains how items in the library can be copied and sent.
The Society is piloting projects to digitise items in the library and manuscript collections, and make them available online to members through the website. Out of print and rare items like the extensive collection of late 18th and early 19th century poll books, are made available as PDF copies of books. Now they are online our members can work from home to index them and add value by making a database of all the names mentioned.
Many of what the Society calls its 'Special Collections' contain the research of a particular genealogist, who usually looked at lots of families. Often these families were connected by a common theme or interest. For example we recently took in the case papers relating to the families of many merchant mariners collected Dr Christopher Watts, the author of the Society's book My Ancestor was a Merchant Seamen. The Society has also placed online, the research notes relating to Coastguards compiled by the late Eileen Stage. Our volunteers are currently working on staff records of late 19th and 20th century Customs Officers. Major collections and finding aids are added to the SoG Data Online - like the 7 million names in Boyd's Marriage Index or the names and images of the 300 volumes of abstracts of wills formerly collected by the Bank of England.
The Society isn't a place of national deposit and often, as a last resort, takes in records that no other archive wants. Hence we have taken in, digitised and indexed the hundreds of boxes containing Evidences of Age compiled by the Civil Service Commission relating to British Civil Servants applying for pensions or sitting the civil service examinations. We have looked after and made available online the records of the Teachers Registration Council. These larger data sets, with lots of names and images are also published in partnership with the British commercial genealogy website findypast.co.uk. Smaller more niche data sets, tend to remain only on the digitised data on the SoG's own website.
All the SoG digitised data is made free to SoG members who can register and sign in to look at the indexed data and images on our website. Non-members can browse or make free searches in the online index to SoG data http://www.sog.org.uk/search-records/search-sog-data-online but must join the Society, and a become a member to view the full entries or view images and books.

How pleasing it is that our few loyal members continue to turn up for the meetings! On Thursday 1st September there were seven present - they come by public transport, some by taxi, or in their own car. As usual we shared a chat while we ate our sandwich lunch, and are pleased that the staff from the office are able to join us for lunch.
Facilitator, Mary, read a Devotional "Faith" from a small booklet, one of many resources written by Margaret Knauerhase, who died recently. Alleyne shared with us the story of her sister-in-law who, with her husband, went to Lae in New Guinea in the late 1940's. His task was to build a Botanic Garden - and life there was to be very different for the new bride! As their house was not ready for them she stayed in Brisbane for some time. It was just after the War and building supplies were not always available, for example mosquito proof fly-wire was restricted, and so it took some time to build their house. She wrote weekly letters to her mother, interesting letters full of news of every day events, so well written in such detail that we could visualize everything. Her family have put the letters together in a book - a great way to keep note of family history! We found it most interesting and are grateful to Alleyne for offering to share this with us.
A reminder was given of forthcoming events – Fellowships Day on Friday 30th September at 10am at The Church of the Trinity, 318 Goodwood Road, Clarence Park – the speaker is Frontier Services Pastor Gary Ferguson, and lunch is available for $6.00.
Next year, instead of receiving our copies of "Together" magazine in bulk, members are asked to each pay their own subscription of $ 15 to UCAF, and a copy will be posted directly each month. Subscriptions can be paid on Fellowships Day.
Our next meeting is Thursday 6th October – BYO lunch at 12noon – everyone is most welcome. So come along – it has been suggested that we all a share a memorable event in our life. The Facilitator is Rev Norah Norris and Mary Thomas is on Kitchen Duties.
For your diary – UCAF Consultation Day is at 10am on Monday 21st November.


This anonymous beauty equivalent of fashion's Diet Prada is sounding the alarm on all product replicas, lies and and other beauty scandals.
Diet Prada has been holding down the fort with regards to exposing what is rotten in the state of the fashion industry for a while.
Now in 2018, this Instagram account loved by many fashion enthusiasts, got a ballsy younger sister who's not afraid to air out the beauty industry's dirt laundry.
The anonymously run Estée Laundry account also has the same approach as Diet Prada in terms of 'breaking' beauty scandals – from calling out suspiciously similar product packaging to exposing brands for making false claims about their product ingredients and ethical processes.
According to Refinery29, since its inception in April this year, "they have targeted numerous brands, such as Glossier (for falsely marketing their Lash Slick Mascara as completely vegan), and called out Kim Kardashian's Body fragrance for resembling a carbon copy of Jean Paul Gaultier's Classique perfume".
With the declarations "Airing out the beauty industry's dirty laundry. Power to the people. No ads or sponsored content" in the account's bio, Estée Laundry makes it clear that they only have the best interests of the worldwide beauty community at heart.
This is a large community indeed, especially considering that the beauty industry in Sub Saharan Africa alone was "estimated at €9.2 billion (close to R150 billion) in 2017 and it currently increases between 8% and 10% per year against a global market growth rate of close to 4%," according to Africa Business Pages.
Although Estée Laundry hasn't shared any beauty exposés and news relating to Africa yet, it makes sense that there now exists a platform designated to protecting this lucrative industry's integrity across the globe.
Yes, they do break exciting beauty news too. It's not all shade.
Like the fictional Gossip Girl app, Estée Laundry also takes anonymous submissions via direct message before posting their blasts.
In an interview with i-D, the founders shared how they "set up the account because there are a lot of open secrets in the beauty industry that no one talks about. Magazines and bloggers don't talk about them because sharing them openly will impact their sponsorships, advertising and freebies. We wanted to create an anti-influencer account that would encourage transparency and honesty."
So this may just be a sneaky, yet well meaning anonymous outlet for the #Laundrites (Estée Laundry followers) that work as beauty industry professionals – not just influencers – who cannot give public comment on certain brands as they may be their clients.

Q: Objects in firewall filters on Juniper devices Greetings and sorry for my English.
I'm setting firewall filters on several Juniper SRX3xx appliances running Junos 15.1X49. What I'm actually trying to accomplish is to minimize my future manual labor in case I need to reconfigure some of the rules. On Cisco ASA the answer is simple: use objects instead of actual IP addresses. In case you need to change some server's IP only the object representing it should be changed while all related rules are left intact.
Junos has address books (security address-book ...) which serve similar purpose except they aren't applicable (?!) to firewall rules (firewall ... filter ... term ...). It also has prefix lists (policy-options prefix-list ...) which theoretically can be used in firewall rules (firewall ... filter ... term ... from source-prefix-list ...). It's weird to have two sets of the objects representing same IPs, but I can live with that. However prefix lists seem to be much more than just some object definitions to use elsewhere. Or should I say not the object definitions that I need at all? The topic is sadly pretty unclear in Juniper documentation which in most other cases is excellent.
So my question is: How does the typical Junos admin organize his firewall rules? Should it be the rules with the explicit IP addresses and than you edit it for few hours when you need to change single address? Or is it okay to use prefix lists extensively in firewall rules? Or maybe do I miss something?

While snapshots are primarily used to create a point-in-time, read-only copy for backup purpose, they really are read-write objects. Their read-write nature can be used in more creative manners, for example to create differential images starting from a single, common template.
– above all, eventual updates on the original volume (eg: template updating) will not destroy you I/O speed as happens with a multi-snapshotted normal, original volume.
The main thin snapshot drawback is the inability to limit their maximum size: if you really, really, really need to set an upper cap on snapshot size, you had to use normal LVM snapshots.

Seat unveils a new Leon for 2017
Seat is continuing its new product offensive with a new 2017 Leon, following on from the popular Ateca SUV released just last month. The Successful Leon Formula is now having another dose of extra technology and design added to the mix.
"With the New SEAT Leon, we want to continue the success story of one of SEAT's most emblematic models, including further technologies in terms of driving assistance systems, safety systems and, of course, connectivity" added the Vice-President for R&D, Dr. Matthias Rabe.
One of the main reasons the current Leon is so popular is down to the striking high quality design, so for the latest reincarnation only subtle changes have been added. The front and rear body has a sharper, more assertive line with incisive lateral lines that fade out towards the front and rear. A newly designed front bumper with a slightly stretched out grille, gives the car a wider look.
The New 2017 Seat Leon
SEAT Design Director, Alejandro Mesonero Romanos, affirmed, "The Leon is a very attractive model and it isn't necessary to change its image, only reinforce it, refresh it. The objective is to harmonise all parts of it, in particular the front and the rear, with the sides of the car."
A range of safety features as we've seen on the newly released Ateca are available like the Traffic Jam assist on automatic (DSG) versions only. This system offers a calming and comforting effect in stop start traffic, the car will follow the vehicle in front, setting off, manoeuvring and coming to a stop again automatically up to a certain speed.
On the inside the cabin has customisable interior mood lighting with a range of colours all controlled from the 8-inch multimedia touch-screen. Included is the latest Apple Car Play and Android Auto smart-phone connectivity with a wireless charging phone box for compatible phones.
Two different versions of the 1.6 litre diesel (90ps and 115ps) are in the engine range alongside a 2.0 litre 184ps. A new three cylinder 1.0 litre will be a petrol option with 110ps. Five and six speed manual gearboxes and automatic dual clutch DSG units with six and seven speeds round up the transmission range.
The Luxury Excellence trim has been added to the line up with a Cupra version in the works too, with its own surprises. More details on the 2017 Leon 5-door, Sports Coupe and Sports Tourer will be released closer to the initial launch in February 2017.

JOAN CHEN Biography - Actors and Actresses
Biography » actors and actresses » joan chen
JOAN CHEN
Name: Joan Chen
Born: 26 April 1961 Shanghai, China
Joan Chen (born April 26, 1961) is a Chinese American actress, film director,
screenwriter and film producer, best known for her roles in The Last Emperor,
Twin Peaks, Red Rose, White Rose, Saving Face, and for directing the feature
film Autumn in New York and Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl.
She was born Chen Chong in Shanghai, China into a family of doctors (her
grandparents were educated at Oxford and her parents were trained at Harvard).
She grew up during the Cultural Revolution. At age 14, Chen was discovered on
the school rifle range by Mao Zedong's wife Jiang Qing, as she was excelling at
marksmanship. This led her to be selected for the Actors' Training Program by
the Shanghai Film Studio in 1975, where she was discovered by veteran director
Xie Jin who chose her to star in his 1977 film Youth as a deaf
mute whose senses are restored by an Army medical team. She soon enrolled in the
prestigious Shanghai Institute of Foreign Languages, at age 17 (one year before
one could go), where she majored in English.
Chen Chong first became famous in China for her performance in Zhang Zheng's
Little Flower in 1979 for which she won the
Hundred Flowers Award, in which she played
a revolutionary's daughter in pre-Maoist China, who falls in love with the
wounded soldier whom she and her mother care for. Little Flower was her second
film and Chen soon hit the status of China's most loved actress, which earned
her to be dubbed "the Elizabeth Taylor of China" by Time magazine, for having
achieved stardom while still a teenager. In addition, Chen is famous in China
for her role in the 1979 film Hearts for the Motherland
which depicts an overseas Chinese family that returns to China from southeast
Asia out of their patriotic feelings but encounter political troubles during the
Cultural Revolution. The songs, I Love You, China and High Flies the
Petrel, sung by Chen's character, are perennial favorites in China.
At age twenty, Chen moved to the United States where she studied filmmaking at
California State University, Northridge. In 1989, she became a naturalized
citizen of the United States.
Her first Hollywood movie was Tai-Pan, filmed on location in China. She went on
to star in Bernardo Bertolucci's The Last Emperor in 1987 and the David Lynch/Mark
Frost television series Twin Peaks. In 1993 she co-starred in Oliver Stone's
Heaven & Earth. She portrayed two different characters in Clara Law's Temptation
of a Monk: a seductive princess of Tang
dynasty, and a dangerous temptress. The award-winning film was adapted from a
novel by Lilian Lee. In 1994 she came back in Shanghai to star in critically
acclaimed Stanley Kwan's Red Rose, White Rose opposite Winston
Chao and Veronica Yip. In 1995, Chen made what has become perhaps her best known
film; "Wild Side" for HBO. The movie has become something of a cult classic due
mainly to her graphic lesbian love scenes with co-star Anne Heche. Tired of
being cast as an exotic beauty in Hollywood films, Chen moved into directing in
1998 with the critically acclaimed Xiu Xiu: The Sent Down Girl,
adapted from the novella Heavenly Bath by her friend Yan
Geling. She later directed Autumn in New York in 2000.
Chen made a comeback in 2004 when she starred in Jasmine Women
and in Asian American independent film Saving Face. She
then appeared in the Asian American independent film Americanese.
Chen will appear in 7 films whose release is scheduled for 2007 and 2008:
Singapore film The Leap Years (based upon a novel by Catherine Lim and starring
Wong Li-Lin, Ananda Everingham and Qi Yuwu), Australian film The Home Song
Stories (directed by Tony Ayres, again co-starring Qi Yuwu), American films
Michael Almereyda's Tonight at Noon (along with Ethan Hawke and Rutger Hauer)
and All God's Children Can Dance (opposite Tzi Ma), Chinese film Jiang Wen's The
Sun Also Rises (opposite Jaycee Chan and Anthony Wong Chau-Sang), and Chinese
American film Ang Lee's Lust, Caution (along with Tony Leung Chiu-Wai).

But is it that simple? And what is really happening?
One can accept President Ramaphosa's bona fides that corruption and State capture must be stopped. He was and is on record that he is serious about it. His own actions and those of his close allies (such as Pravin Gordhan with the lifestyle audits for SOEs), testify to this.
A senior business leader recently shared with me while we were on a plane that the President estimates that there are 700 key posts in the public service occupied by Zuma confidants. So far this year, 150 better people have already been appointed, but the number that remain is still massive.
How do you get rid of the Zuma appointments in the public service? It is not easy, because the majority of them were not directly appointed by the President but by his confidants and "mischief-makers". Because of the Rule of Law (yes, even crooks have basic rights) and labour laws, people cannot be dismissed left and right; you must follow processes. Some of these people (possibly) meet the minimum requirements for their appointments, and for each a good reason and process is necessary for dismissal. You need to uncover "something" as motivation for acting against them as individuals.
Of course, it is somewhat simpler to act against high profile persons, like the Moyanes and Abrahams of the world. But what about the many unknowns, the moles, who occupy key positions and are still loyal to Zuma or his cause? Or maybe are just thinking about lining their own pockets?
There is another factor: even if the President and his inner circle know who these Zuma appointments are, it is difficult to act against them simultaneously in "one clean sweep". This will topple the delicate balance of power within the ANC. What is needed, is to find a way to identify them through "standard procedure" and then remove them from the system through legal processes.
Against this background, one can recognise certain presidential strategies. The first and most basic one is to allow party processes to follow due course – as what happened with Supra Mahumapelo (and is still possible with Ace Magashule). The problem with this is that the National Director of Public Prosecutions (NDPP) has not yet been appointed and that, therefore, there is not (yet) political will at the National Prosecuting Authority to do it on a large scale . But with the appointment of the NDPP expected shortly, this strategy will gain momentum in the new year. And the advantage is that no one can accuse the President of a witch-hunt aimed at Zuma confidants.
A second strategy to snuff out corruption and State capture and denounce what is already in full swing, is what has already been referred to as the commissions and panel strategy. This involves appointing a commission or advisory panel to investigate a particular matter. And though the Zondo Commission of Inquiry into State capture is ironically a Zuma appointment, it fits perfectly into President Ramaphosa's strategy. The Nugent Commission into the affairs of the South African Revenue Service is also an example of this. Another example is the appointment of the high level review panel for the State Security Agency (SSA), a government department used intensively by Zuma for State capture – especially to spy on his enemies (even within his own party).
A third strategy is not aimed so much against corruption and State capture, but rather serves to be transparent and democratic and to visibly prevent corruption. Here, the best example is the appointment of an independent panel to handle the candidates for the post of the NDPP and to make a recommendation. Then there is also the independent advisory panel to get expert and probably technocratic inputs on the sensitive issues related to land reform.
The commissions and panel strategy of President Ramaphosa is thus a very effective way of making progress to enable the dismantling of the networks of corruption and State capture. But it does not offer quick fixes that will land so and so in jail. It will, however, not be necessary to wait – for example – for the Zondo Commission to deliver a final report. Like what happened to Tom Moyane with the findings of the Nugent Commission, the Zondo Commission can release interim reports, based upon which grounds can be found to initiate criminal proceedings. But for this, the new NDPP must be appointed, and he/she must have the political will to prosecute effectively – and to establish this culture throughout the Prosecuting Authority.
This three-pronged strategy will probably be followed until the 2019 national election – slowly, but surely. If President Ramaphosa as leader of the ANC can lead the party to a victory of say, 55%, he can act more decisively. He is then no longer the ANC president who was elected by a mere 173 votes at Nasrec , but the President of South Africa whose party has been elected by 55% of the electorate.
But even if the commissions strategy bears fruit, the President also has other problems and challenges: his remarks in the US about farm murders still hang like a sword over his head. He must also come out of the Bosasa donation dilemma. And, a satisfactory solution for the expropriation without compensation pickle will be necessary to save the economy and the Constitution from chaos and ruin.
But even with these problems, Cyril Ramaphosa is, rationally speaking, the only hope we have to give the State back to the people of South Africa.

Content-Related and Procedural Principles of Information Activities of the State
Unlike its citizens, the state cannot lean on the basic right of free speech when it comes to its communciation. In his PhD project, Tobias Mast exmaines the legal requirements of the state's communication with its citizens.
What legal requirements does the state have to deal with when communicating with the public? Since the state entered the age of the information society, it shows it has a range of instruments and develops its self-perception to an interactive partner who helps every single citizen in his/her way of life and decision-making. The variety of informational forms of decision-making include traditional actions like the government's public relations, reports of the authorities for the protection of the constitution as well warnings and recommendations regarding in the food sector and in the field of environment. Recently, there are also new phenomena of indirect or collaborative acts of information, such as the "Ärzte-TÜV" ("supervisiory association of physicians"). However, despite the significance and topicality of this topic, the development and ascertainment of substantive and procedural principles is still in its infancy. This PhD project aims on gaining knowledge on general dogmatic requirements and rules to consider in order to contribute to the rationalisation and unification of the information activities of the state.
Since the beginning of the 90s, the professional public is paying more and more attention to the information activities of the state, which have no redress in law, as an object of research. The goal of this project is to present substantial and procedural principles and to revise these on general validity or needs for differentiation by state authorities or fulfilling functions. Jurisdiction and jurisprudence developed the conditions for legitimacy and principles over time, which have to be considered by the state within the scope of its information activities. However, there is no reliable dogmatic (yet), just because the primarily source of law is in this sense highly judicial casuistry. The Federal Court of Justice requested the principles of objectivity, validity and integrity for statements given by the state. In other rulings, the requirement of prior hearings of persons concerned was indicated. However, it is usually not clear if these evaluations can be generalized and what they demand regarding the context. In the area of active communication of the state a less consistent dogmatic is given, while other areas of the information law, such as aspects of personal rights, are strongly differentiated and where it withstands with technical and actual developments. Little has changed since the groundbreaking rulings "Osho" and "Glycol" by the Federal Court of Justice in 2002, although the manifestations were more and more differentiated and diverse. By now, the public relations of the state's authorities have strongly increased on federal, state, and municipal level. Many local police headquarters are active in social media, and also the government informs the interested public via its own Facebook profile. There are also new judicial subjects besides the traditional ones of requirements of a legal basis and the intervention quality of purely formal administrative matters: Is it allowed that the police addresses participants of an assembly online informally, how they usually do in this established administrative practice? Are the strictly content-related regulations of the state's communication applicable to collaborative information platforms that are filled with information primary by citizens? Are there more basic principles regarding the content besides the one from the Federal Court of Justice? And how can these be differentiated? These are only a few emerging and largely unsettled but relevant questions.
As the content-related principles mentioned above concerning accuracy, objectivity and integrity of information are particularly important when it comes to information activities of the state. Unlike the constellations of the reactive activity, following an application e.g. from the IFG [German Freedom of Information Act], the UIG [Environmental Information Act], the VIG [Consumer Information Act] or Landespressegesetz [Freedom of the Press Act?], the uttered information is not already covered by the intention. Moreover, when acting actively, there is the risk that the appraisal of the authority/state (contrary to statements of facts) is uttered in a impertinent, lurid or inappropriate way. However, only the citizen has the right to those actions under reference to the right of freedom of expression in accordance with Article 5 (1) of the Basic Law. Government agencies cannot express themselves just as they like it but have to act within their competences in order to perform their tasks. This is another area, in which any questions concerning the textual specification of principles are unsettled. The content of the principles mentioned above is often published without reflection. By no means, it is clear whether information has to be always complete, because an "information overload" has to be avoided since it can lead to complexity and confusion for the addressee. It has only be discussed separately whether the act of accuracy is absolute and valid without restrictions or if a legislation could possibly persist as a lie. The PhD project seeks to find answers to all these questions. Thereby, it is of significant relevance if the findings are valid for each public agency - from the government to the district office - or if other findings are more suitable regarding the various functions and competences.

Further after a successfully developing the Maternity hospital for 10 years, Dr. Sulochana Gunasheela studied, practiced and specialised in Assisted Reproductive Technology at John Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore, USA and established Gunasheela IVF Center at Bangalore. The Centre was the first of its kind in South India, equipped with the best reproductive technology the world had to offer at that time. Dr. Sulochana Gunasheela's first IVF baby was born on the fifth of December 1988 thus began the ART of creating mothers. The following years saw the good Doctor assisting many, many couples to successfully bring a child to term. This visionary and pioneer became the prominent infertility specialist. And thousands of hopeful couples sought her aid. All the while, research continued… All the while, the number of women experiencing the ineffable joy of motherhood increased. New developments, new breakthroughs and new infrastructure were just around the corner. Now, the next generation stepped up, and began the initiative of taking the Gunasheela IVF Centre to the next level. Dr. Devika Gunasheela, daughter of and successor to Dr. Sulochana, joined the practice.

It is possible to prevent Google from blocking a smartphone, it is worth installing updates and other myths for Android
April 11, 2022 by banggiaxemoi.com
More than a month ago, Google announced the restriction of many of its services in Russia. First, it removed the revenue from YouTube videos and then turned off its ad network, which included us Stop Google Pay, and then banned all transactions on Google Play. Is this the limit? Probably not. According to rumors, the company is currently discussing further measures of influence – from the full turn off Google Mobile Services until it blocks the activation of new, even complete blackout of already active smartphones. This has created many myths that are not true, but which are believed by a huge number of users.
Sanctions have sparked many myths about how Android works and need to be debunked
Disabled Google Pay in Russia – what to do
Google Pay can not work again by changing the area in the settings
Disable Google Pay became bad news for many users from Russia. Many of them used to pay for purchases over the phone and now they have missed this opportunity. In this regard, many pseudo-instructions have appeared on the Web talking about solutions that supposedly allow Google Pay to get back to work.
❗ПОДПИШИСЬ НА НАШ ЯНДЕКС.ДЗЕН. ПОДДЕРЖИ НАС И ЧИТАЙ КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ СТАТЬИ, КОТОРЫЕ НЕ ПОПАДАЮТ К НАМ НА САЙТ
Most of the time, as a solution to activate a payment service, they call for a change of country in the settings, turn off location services even a VPN connection. Needless to say, none of this helps, because de facto the service itself is not disabled. The tokenization of MasterCard and Visa cards in Russia, which operated the payment systems themselves, was deactivated.
How to pay for Google Play subscriptions now
Payment for Google Play subscriptions will no longer work even if you enable VPN
Situation with Google app store – a little pinker. At least it still allows users from Russia to download free software. However, the situation may change very soon. So, these same consultants have compiled a list of recommendations that are supposed to help you overcome the limitations set by the search giant. In fact, this is complete nonsense.
❗У КОЛЛЕГ ИЗ APPLEINSIDER.RU ОЧЕНЬ КРУТОЙ КАНАЛ В ЯНДЕКС.ДЗЕНЕ. ПОДПИСЫВАЙТЕСЬ, ЧТОБЫ ЧИТАТЬ ЭКСКЛЮЗИВНЫЕ СТАТЬИ, КОТОРЫХ НЕТ НА САЙТЕ
As practice has shown, changing the area, disabling the geographical location, connecting a VPN, and even connecting a map of another area do not help. First why Google may continue to monitorwhere you are, regardless of the location services and location in the settings. And secondly, the payment restriction was introduced not by MasterCard or Visa, but by Google itself, so it should be canceled by it.
It is possible to update android now
Do not be afraid to update Android. Google will block your smartphone if it wants to
Many are worried that Google will send them android update, something that will lead to the closure of their smartphones. Therefore, they resort to the same methods they used to circumvent the restrictions – deactivation of geographical location, change of area and VPN usage – only now to avoid possible blockage. For some reason, it seems to people that they are smarter than the Google developers, who built their operating systems with their own hands and they certainly understand it better than we do.
❗В КАНАЛЕ СУНДУК АЛИБАБЫ КАЖДЫЙ ДЕНЬ ВЫХОДЯТ ПОДБОРКИ ЛУЧШИХ ТОВАРОВ С АЛИЭКСПРЕСС
So do not be a fool. Regular Android gadgets will not save you from being blocked because they were not created for that at all. They may protect you from being monitored by application developers. But turning off the smartphone – especially if Google wants to do so – probably not. A complete disconnection from the Internet and GSM communications may help, but are you sure you want to voluntarily turn your device into a brick?
How to replace Google services
If GMS is disabled in Russia, your smartphone will definitely not turn into a brick
Google services or Google Mobile Services, as it is also called, is an important part of Android. Thanks to them, we have access to many functions of our smartphones, from push notifications and automatic updates to computer photography and voice control. Therefore, if Google decides to deactivate them in Russia, nothing good awaits us. But this does not mean that our smartphones will be turned into bricks.
❗У НАС ЕСТЬ СУПЕР-УЮТНЫЙ ЧАТИК В ТЕЛЕГРАМЕ, ГДЕ МЫ ОБЩАЕМСЯ С ЧИТАТЕЛЯМИ
From the majority android smartphones, sold in Russia, are of Chinese origin, it is obvious that their manufacturers will do everything possible to give us access to the lost functions again. Yes, it will not be Google services. But Huawei, Honor, and even Samsung have their own GMSs they use in the Chinese market, where the search giant's services are banned. So no problem. Almost.
YouTube will be disabled in Russia
Google is unlikely to turn off YouTube voluntarily in Russia. RKN can do it for her
Yes, such rumors are circulating, since YouTube is a product of Google. Most likely, however, the search giant itself Video hosting will not be blocked. Much more likely to do so Roskomnadzor. Why; The department has several claims against the administration of the service, which removes Russian media channels and blocks pro-Russian videos. RKN has no plans to tolerate such treatment. So they can just block youtube in the territory of the Russian Federation.
❗ПОДПИШИСЬ НА НАШ КАНАЛ В ТЕЛЕГРАМЕ, ПОКА ЕЩЁ МОЖНО
However, even if it is blocked, it is obvious that access to it via VPN will remain. In addition, its use will not be banned, as well as Instagram, which was blocked due to the recognition of Meta as an extremist organization. So do not worry. Access to YouTube from Russia in one form or another, you will still have. Another thing is if the authors want to pull content in the same volume, because the site will no longer generate advertising revenue and the audience will always fall due to restrictions.

For International Day for the Release of Nazi Bobruisk Prisoner of War Prisoners – News
The reaction of the ruble to the relaxation of the Central Bank


An interesting map on a north hemispheric projection, showing the regions then actively explored by the Russian, French and English.
Includes notes on Dutch, Portuguese and English discoveries near the North Pole.
The projection is based upon Phillipe Buache's work from the 1750s and illustrates one view of the rapid changes along the NW Coast of America, NE Coast of Asia and Arctic Circle.
In the 1740s, France and England became acutely aware of Russian voyages of discovery by Tchirikow, Bering and others into the NW Coast of America, especially following the return of Joseph Nicolas De L'Isle from the Russian Court. Interest in what had until then been Unknown Regions intensified, and a number of important voyages of exploration were commenced in the second half of the 18th Century, culminating with the voyages of Cook, La Perouse, Vancouver, Dixon, Meares and others.
The map shows the Sea of the West, badly distorted (and largely mythical) Alaskan Archipelago, several hopeful, if tentative routes from the Pacific to Hudson's Bay from the region between the Archipelago and the Sea of the West and one which extends from the Sea of the West. A very definite route from Japan to Portugal is shown.
References to 17th century explorations above the arctic are also noted.


The encrypted object: The secret world of sixties sculpture.
This thesis examines the work of artists Lucas Samaras, Lee Bontecou and HC Westermann, specifically the way in which they have been excluded from dominant accounts of 1960s sculptural practice. I explore the ways in which a theory of 'secrecy' provides a framework through which to think about each of these artists. Chapter one focuses on Samaras's use of small-scale boxes in relation to his dialogue with the Minimal cubic structure, whilst the second chapter examines the structures of Bontecou in terms of their 'secrecy'. Working from welded steel armatures, Bontecou developed a unique practice of stretching dirty, worn skeins of fabric over the metal structure, always with a gaping hole backed with black felt, a disturbing void around which the surface is organised and the spectatorial encounter disturbed. Unlike the voracious mode of looking Bontecou's works engender, or the partial, fragmented 'peering' offered by Samaras's boxes, Westermann's works require a type of looking that has more in common with the physical act of 'drifting'. I cast both the viewing experience and the mode of construction Westermann's works demand, in terms of 'bricolage' and 'braconnage' (or 'poaching'). The concluding chapter analyses the role of the artistic homage and notion of influence, taking as model the work of psychoanalysts Nicolas Abraham and Maria Torok on haunting and secrecy in relation to the work of Westermann alongside that of Bruce Nauman and Rachel Whiteread. In chapter four I introduce the idea of the 'phantom', as a way of thinking through the problems of inheritance at work in the artistic homage in terms of a series of ruptures, using Abraham and Toroks' concept of the 'transgenerational phantom', in which familial secrets are unwittingly inherited by one's ancestors. In this final chapter, I attempt to undermine the usual way in which influence and artistic lineage are understood.
