La autenticación electrónica es el proceso de establecer confianza en las identidades de los usuarios presentadas electrónicamente ante un sistema de información. La autenticación electrónica es muy importante y es necesaria siempre que ambas partes privadas pacten un acuerdo en el comercio electrónico; no tiene nada que ver con el cifrado o la confidencialidad de la información, sólo identifica el remitente de la información y verifica que la información provenga de esta parte. La autenticación ayuda a mantener la confianza de los usuarios en los sistemas de información electrónicos al permitir detener los estafadores

La expresión autenticación digital o e-autenticación se puede utilizar como sinónimo cuando se hace referencia al proceso de autenticación que confirma o certifica la identidad y las obras de una persona. Cuando se utiliza conjuntamente con una firma electrónica, puede proporcionar pruebas de si las datos recibidos han sido manipuladas después de ser firmadas por su remitente original. La autenticación electrónica puede reducir el riesgo de fraude y robo de identidad en verificar que una persona es quien dice que es cuando realiza transacciones en línea.

Sistemas
Se pueden utilizar varios métodos de autenticación electrónica para autenticar la identificación de un usuario, desde una contraseña hasta niveles más altos de seguridad que utilizan la autenticación multifactor (MFA).  En función del nivel de seguridad utilizado, es posible que el usuario tenga que demostrar su identidad mediante el uso de fichas de seguridad, preguntas de desafío o estar en posesión de un certificado de una autoridad de certificación de terceros que acredite su identidad.

Aparte de los servicios gubernamentales, la autenticación electrónica también se utiliza ampliamente en otras tecnologías e industrias. Estas nuevas aplicaciones combinan las características de autorización de identidades en bases de datos tradicionales y nueva tecnología para proporcionar un uso más seguro y diverso de la autenticación electrónica. A continuación se describen algunos ejemplos.

Autenticación móvil
La autenticación móvil es la verificación de la identidad de un usuario mediante el uso de un dispositivo móvil. Puede tratarse como un campo independiente o también se puede aplicar con otros esquemas de autenticación multifactor en el campo de autenticación electrónica.

Para la autenticación móvil, hay cinco niveles de sensibilidad de la aplicación desde el Nivel 0 al Nivel 4. El nivel 0 es para uso público en un dispositivo móvil y no requiere autenticaciones de identidad, mientras que el nivel 4 tiene la mayoría de los procedimientos múltiples para identificar a los usuarios.  Para cualquier nivel, la autenticación móvil es relativamente fácil de procesar. En primer lugar, los usuarios envían una contraseña de un solo uso (OTP) a través de canales fuera de línea. Luego, un servidor identifica la información y realiza ajustes en la base de datos. Dado que solo el usuario tiene acceso a un código PIN y puede enviar información a través de sus dispositivos móviles, existe un bajo riesgo de ataques.

Autenticación en comercio electrónico
A principios de la década de 1980, se implementaron los sistemas de intercambio electrónico de datos (EDI), que se consideró como uno de los primeros representantes del comercio electrónico. Pero garantizar su seguridad no es un problema importante, ya que todos los sistemas están construidos alrededor de redes cerradas. Sin embargo, más recientemente, las transacciones entre empresas y consumidores se han transformado. Las partes que realizan transacciones remotas han forzado la implementación de sistemas de autenticación de comercio electrónico.

En términos generales, los enfoques adoptados en la autenticación de comercio electrónico son básicamente los mismos que los de la autenticación electrónica. La diferencia es que la autenticación de comercio electrónico es un campo más limitado que se centra en las transacciones entre clientes y proveedores. Un ejemplo sencillo de autenticación de comercio electrónico incluye a un cliente que se comunica con un servidor comercial a través de Internet. El servidor comercial generalmente utiliza un servidor web para aceptar las solicitudes de los clientes, un sistema de administración de base de datos para administrar los datos y una pasarela de pago para proporcionar servicios de pago en línea.

True and ideal support is when those who provide support understand what is important to you. They willingly expend their energy to help you achieve your goals and attain your vision. Whether they are compensated or not is irrelevant.
What is important is that you work together as both peers and equals rather than in a two tiered relationship.
They have an underlying determination to learn, to grow, and to share. They do not dictate to you or ridicule you. They are responsible and accountable.
When you have a team of such individuals, you'll have teamwork, cooperation, and synergy. When that happens and there is a mutual focus of energy, you'll have people who are as committed to your success as you are. And all will benefit.
Who can be on your team? Family members. Friends. Experts in various areas. People who have had experiences similar to yours. The critical factors are that they hold core values congruent with your own and possess a level of commitment that matches yours. In addition to seeking individuals whose values, integrity, and behavior harmonize with yours, look for those with special talents and skills that you don't have, but you need, to help you make better decisions. For example, if you sometimes have a problem communicating exactly how you feel about a particular situation, a person with high communications skills should possibly be on your support team.
Brainstorm a goal, option, or course of action.
Get things done more efficiently and more effectively.
Save you time, energy, and money by sharing their experiences.
Meet others outside of your own network.
Provide comfort in time of need.
As you begin developing your support team, it's important to identify the areas in which you need help. You can have many sub support teams to help with specific projects. For instance, using an example outside of trading for illustrative purposes, if you plan on building a new home, one of the areas in which you may need help is in evaluating those with whom you will be signing contracts the architect, the construction company, the banker, and the insurance company. This support team would also include friends who have had experience building their own homes or professionals with home-building track records.
After you have identified and defined the types of support team members you need, look to family, friends, and acquaintances to determine who may fit those profiles. This process of identifying needs and then matching the needs to people is vital to the successful formation of a support team.
You are doing two very important things at the same time.
First, you're identifying your needs or the deficiencies of your current support team, and determining the specific talents and skills needed.
Second, you're clarifying in your mind the kind of person you want on your support team an action that makes it much easier to find the people you want.
Now, how will you bring all these ideas and concepts together?
First, clearly define the core values of your prospective support team member. There are many ways to do it, but I don't believe you'll find them in any "how to" on interviewing.
Second, in addition to a direct interview, you'll find out a lot more about your prospective support team member at a family or informal setting. Many times basic compatibility can be discovered far better at such times than across a desk in an office. In those more re-laxed moments, you can observe many more clues to a person's real values, and can measure them against your own. By watching a person's interaction with others, you may be better able to determine how he will interact with you. And, a technique used very effectively in many situations is to participate in some activity (golf, tennis, etc.) and observe the individual's behavior and comments in different situations noting they are, in most cases, representative of his or her values and validating behaviors.
Consistently communicate in an open, honest, and timely manner—they don't package.
Demonstrate will power and discipline through thinking, decision-making, and interactions with others.
Embrace responsibility and accountability: Make things happen as they said they would or they say, "What can I do to make it right if I caused you a hardship or a problem?
Are there when you need them even though it may be inconvenient.
Don't gossip and have an optimistic view of themselves, others, and the world.
Don't assume that they know what you're thinking—they seek clarification and understanding.
Live with integrity, and are honest and trusting in their relationships knowing they are not perfect.
Are self-motivated and continuously learn, grow, and persist in pursuing what living has to offer.
Anticipate—rather than react—and don't blame circumstances on bad luck or others.
Take charge of themselves and use mistakes as steps to growth.
Live with an inner confidence about who they are as a person—not their external accomplishments.
Possess other values and attributes congruent and compatible with your own.
They are quite the individuals! Not surprisingly, such people "like" themselves and their image. That doesn't mean they're egotists or bores, but that they are comfortable with themselves and confident in the decisions they make.
People like that gravitate to others who are similar. They may not consciously ask whether their values are the same or go through a mental checklist of "I believes" one by one, but they are attuned to signals which tell them when they have met a kindred soul. When this "meeting of the minds" occurs, there is an opportunity for commitment on a level that says, "My support is unconditional." Yet that support will not take a form which violates the integrity or responsibility of the person being supported. And the support will flow in both directions. This is power; this again is cooperation, teamwork, synergy.


I am working on the programme for our upcoming Celtic retreat & thought that you might enjoy this one of the prayers I have written.
For you, for each other, for your creation.
For the marginalized, the abandoned and the despised.
For other peoples, religions and nations.
Interrelated to all God's people, to the earth and all creation.

For those of you that have decided to take the winter off from riding you are missing some choice opportunities! The CT Chapter of the New England Mountain Bike Association held it's first annual Winter Social called Middletown Madness and I organized the advanced ride at Millers Pond State Park. There was an excellent turnout, 18 people and one dog showed to ride in 23 degree weather. There were three singlespeeds and three 29ers, too.
Tren and I got there a bit early so we got ready and knocked out a quick 0.7 mile loop on down along the water and then cut back in towards the red trail. Snow was simply perfect! Four inches and still a little powdery. I noticed when I stood out of the saddle that something was creaking, it sounded like something grinding. First I thought it might be pedals but then later I figured it must be the bottom bracket.
Once back at the lot, people started showing up. Sign in went smooth and by 1:15 we rolled out. Having only ridden here twice before I found someone who rides here frequently and asked if he wouldn't mind leading the ride. I did however have both tracks from my two previous rides loaded onto my GPS so there was no way we could have gotten lost.
Despite the creaking bottom bracket riding the technical, stuntry trail was a blast. The quick ups and rollers were a lot of fun and I felt great being able to keep up with the majority of the geared riders. Of course there were a few sections that were pretty sketchy or steep and I walked them but I was still in front of the main body so who cares?
The first mile or so was on some rocking technical trail that I had never been on before and I was eating up on the Dillinger. Somewhere along the way we got on a section that I was familiar with but then last that ended and we were again another unfamiliar section. When I was shooting some video of Mike doing a drop we looked at my GPS and Mike said we must be on the outer loop which is something I have never ridden before.
After the 10 Commandments I knew were close to split off that would take us back to the cars but I was really itching to ride the XC trail. The first section of the XC trail is so fast and flowy, and the perfect trail for my bike. About half way through, though, you could feel the temperature dropping and that is when I noticed that my toes were starting go numb. I started walking more of the hills just to get circulation back in the toes. For more pictures and some video, click on over to the CT NEMBA blog.
Now that the 'Horse is laid up, shock went back to Marzocchi for a rebuild and I probably need a new BB for Dillinger, looks like I am riding the Qball Monster - probably have to grind some more gravel.
glad to see you're getting out and riding anyway. keep those cranks turning!

PATENTED HAY25 12m SHEET 1 BF 2 PAUL M. SEYMOUR INVENTOR.
FOLDING TABLE AND SEAT SUPPORT STRUCTURE BACKGROUND OF INVENTION This invention relates to a support structure for a folding table and seat combination.
Tables of the type in which the table portion and seat or bench portion are mounted in a unitary arrangement, especially those of the folding type, often are compact and difficult for a person to seat himself at comfortably. To provide more leg room and facilitate seating at and rising from such tables, various arrangements have been used. For example, there are designs employing both greater vertical separation and greater horizontal separation between the bench and table. However, as the vertical separation increases the table becomes less accommodating to use by children and as the horizontal separation increases the table becomes more difficult to use from the seated position. One of the difficulties involves the necessity for climbing or stepping over the legs at the ends of the table in order to be seated on the bench.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION It is therefore a primary object of this invention to provide a combination bench and table configuration which facilitates seating at and rising from the table.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a combination bench and table configuration devoid of obstructing end legs or members that may hamper a person's movement to be seated at or to arise from the table.
It is a further object of this invention to provide such a configuration suitable for use as a folding or collapsible device.
The invention may be accomplished by a folding combination table and bench configuration including a support structure therefor having upper support means with two connector portions, spaced apart from each other in a first direction. A lower support means has two bearing means spaced from each other in a second direction for contracting a supporting surface and two seat support means spaced from each other in a third direction. Intermediate support means interconnect the upper support means with the lower support means.
FIG. I is an axonometric top view of a combination table and bench configuration devoid of end obstructions according to this invention.
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a support structure according to this invention.
FIG. 3 is a plan view of another support structure according to this invention.
FIG. 4 is a plan view of another support structure according to this invention.
The invention may be embodied in a folding table apparatus in which the tabletop, benches and supporting frame are interconnected. The supporting frame includes two collapsible interconnected support structures each of which collapsibly supports a bench and a portion of the tabletop. Each support structure has upper support means including two connector portions for connecting with its respective portion of the tabletop, lower support means having two bearing portions for resting on the ground or a floor and two bench support-means for collapsibly supporting its respective bench. Intermediate support means interconnects the upper and lower support means and is located in the region between the ends of the bench, so that there is no obstruction to one who seeks to seat himself by sliding in between the bench and table from the end of the bench. The support structures may take any of various forms, in which the intermediate support means is located for unobstructed seating atand rising from the table. The support structures may take various forms: they may be solid or open, collapsible or rigid; they may consist of single or plural elements; and they may be of wood, metal, or plastic.
A collapsible-type table using the support structures according to this invention is shown in FIG. I. Tabletop 10 is formed of table sections I2, 14 supported by structures I6, 18, respectively. Structure 16 has an upper support including elements 20, 22 terminating in connector portions 24, 26 which connect to mounting members 28, 30 by means of bolts 32' and 32, respectively. Members 28, 30 may be any conventional means used to attach table supports in collapsible tables such as that disclosed in US Pat. No. 3,141,424 issued to the applicant herein. The lower support of structure 16 includes elements 36, 38 which join with bearing portions 40, 42 and bench support elements 44, 46 which support bench 48. Locking members 50, 52 of bench 48 pivotably connected by bolts 54, 56 to elements 44, 46 may be locked to the crossbar 58 of bench support piece 60 pivoted on elements 44, 46 by bolts 66, 68 by means of recesses 62, 64. The upper and lower supports of structure 16 are interconnected by an intermediate support including elements 70, 72 which interconnect elements 20 and 36, and 22 and 38. The intermediate structure is located between the ends of bench 48 to facilitate seating on bench 48 from either end; elements 70, 72 should be long enough to allow sufficient leg clearance between tabletop l0 and bench 48.
Similarly, support structure I8 has an upper support including elements 20, 22' terminating in connector portions 24', 26 which connect to mounting members 28, 30 by means of bolts 34 and 34, respectively, and to connector portions 24, 26 by means of bolts 33' and 33, respectively. The lower support structure includes elements 36', 38' which join with bearing portions 40', 42' and bench support elements 44', 46 which support bench 48. Locking members 50, 52' of bench 48' pivotably connected by bolts 54', 56 to elements 44', 46' may be locked to the crossbar 58' of bench support piece 60' pivoted on elements 44, 46' by bolts 66, 68 by means of recesses 62', 64'. The upper and lower supports of structure 18 are interconnected by an intermediate support including elements 70', 72 which interconnect elements 20 and 36, and 22 and 38.
The support structures are not limited to those shown in FIG. 1. For example, in FIG. 2 there is shown a support structure having integral, solid upper 82, lower 84, and intermediate 86 portions, with connector portions 88, 90 on upper portion 82 and bearing portions 92, 94 and bench support portions 96, 98 on sections 100, I02 oflower portion 84.
In FIG. 3 there is shown a support structure of another shape made from a single bar in contrast to structures l6, 18, FIG. I, each made with two bars. In FIG. 3 upper portion 0 is formed of elements I12, I14, I16 and connector portions 118, 120. Intermediate portion I26 is formed of two elements 128, that interconnect elements 114, 116 with elements 132, I34 of lower portion 136, which also contains bench support elements 138, and bearing portions 142, 144.
In FIG. 4 there is shown a support structure of another shape suitable for use with smaller folding table and seat combinations, such as capable of seating but one person comfortably on a seat portion. Structure has an upper support including element 152 terminating in connector portions 154, 156 which may receive bolts 32' and 32 or 33', 34' and 33, 34 for connection with mounting members 28, 30, respectively. The lower support structure includes bench support element I58 which joins with bearing portions 160, I62 and a second bench support element 164. The upper and lower supports of structure 150 are interconnected by an intermediate support 166. The same variations in construction applicable to and described in relation to the structures of FIGS. 13 are applicable to this structure. This structure is useful for small tables seating only one person on each bench because the single intermediate support may be placed at an end to alleviate the need for a person to straddle it when seated. It is also useful for tables to be used with one end against a wall and may be used to form a pair of tables employing these support structures in mirror image relationship so that when used with their intermediate supports together, they form a table having a single structure in the middle of the seating area as in the case of the table of FIG. I.

As 2017 approaches its end, it's time to turn an eye toward the next year and its up-and-coming web design trends. Website designs can progress in many ways as trends are always changing. With no further ado, below are some of the hottest web design trends for 2018.
While mobile-first design isn't a new thing, it's more important than it's ever been in the past. Google and the other major search engines have said that they'll give SEO preference to mobile-responsive websites. As more users access the Internet via smartphones and tablets, it's important to give them the best UX (user experience) possible.
Duotones have come to the forefront in web design. As designers focus on flat, minimalist designs, bright colors are increasingly being used in duotone color schemes for hero backgrounds and images. With duotones, designers can use relevant, impactful images without making text unreadable or distracting users with color overload.
Recent trends in conversion rate optimization and design, have focused on grabbing users' attention with above-the-fold designs. This means that users don't have to scroll past the part of the page that appears on the screen to learn what they should expect from the remainder of the page. Recent research shows that user engagement is being held over longer pages, and that users are less willing to navigate to more than one page to find the information they want. Therefore, developers and designers are adapting by including a significant amount of content on one page.
While most people think that pictures are worth a thousand words, they're less valuable in the web design world. Every user resonates differently with various communication methods, which means that if a designer relies too heavily on words or images at the expense of other content types, they're doing it wrong. While solid copy is great, when it's reinforced with visual elements, it's much more effective.
Consumers are increasingly finding businesses by connecting with and understanding their provenance. It's all about companies connecting with customers and clients on a personal level, and designers are starting to focus on this narrative approach by using text and graphics to take the user on an interactive brand journey.
Last but not least, rich animations are another new and popular way for designers to engage with potential and current customers. In the early days of web design, animations were greatly overused, but thankfully the design world has come to its senses. In 2018, designers will use animations to communicate with visitors while pages are loading, or to create a compelling hover state. This design element can attract the user's attention, but it should be used sparingly to avoid detracting from the site's overall effect.
With each New Year comes new ideas and modifications to online marketing strategies and techniques; and even more so, these strategies are constantly changing by the week! However, marketing firms like Convergent1 of Houston, and our web designers, are great at taking on new challenges. 2018's trends are sure to have lasting effects on how we design and build sites for clients.

On March 4 the Supreme Court will hear a case, King v. Burwell, that could gut Obamacare and put 9.3 million people's health care coverage at risk. Find out what you can do to speak out in support of affordable health care!
Tonight we'll hear the president's ideas on how to move the country forward, and his calls for action. That's no surprise. After all, it's his 2015 state of the union. And here's ours.
People have called the Affordable Care Act a lot of things — some true, some not. I call it one thing: a game changer for women.
Happy 2-Year Anniversary, Birth Control Benefit! Too Bad Politicians Keep Trying to Break Us Up.
Starting two years ago today, millions of women have benefited from Obamacare's copay-free birth control coverage. Meanwhile, anti-women's health politicians — determined to repeal the ACA altogether — have applauded companies like Hobby Lobby that seek to deny comprehensive birth control coverage for their employees.
How access to contraception revolutionized women's lives, from 1914 to today.
List of companies, nonprofits, and universities challenging the Affordable Care Act's contraception mandate as of June 26.
In a deeply troubling decision for women's health care and reproductive rights, on June 30 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that some employers who personally believe birth control is wrong have the power deny legally mandated health care coverage of it for their employees.
The U.S. Supreme Court just made it harder for women to visit their doctor's office in peace — but we won't let them win.

Mission Endowment Fund
The Resurrection Lutheran Church Mission Endowment Fund was created to encourage support of the ministry of the congregation through gifts of accumulated, inherited, or appreciated financial resources. The Mission Endowment Fund receives various types of gifts, and then distributes Fund income to support social ministry projects, benevolence programs, and critical outreach initiatives. Gifts to the Mission Endowment Fund are held in perpetuity, thereby enabling Fund donors to leave a permanent legacy as testimony to their faithful stewardship and generous support of Resurrection Lutheran Church. Above all, the legacy of these gifts will point to the Giver of all good gifts, as the ultimate purpose of the Mission Endowment Fund is to further the mission and ministry of God's reign.
Enabling Resolution
Endowment Program
The intent and purpose of the fund is to make possible the extension of the various missions of Resurrection Lutheran Church within the congregation, the community, the nation, and the world apart from the general operation of the congregation. The scope of the mission endowment fund has been defined loosely so it can provide enough latitude that its funds can be used for a variety of purposes that all will, in one way or another, support and extend RLC's Holy Purpose and Core Values.
Funds should be focused to support an event, organization or individual that is significant and meaningful to the RLC congregation. Fundamentally, these funds should be used to strengthen our ability to conduct our wider mission. To this end, most grants will be meaningful and generally not of amounts less than $500.
Use of Endowment Income
These categories are to be used as guidelines for the intended use of the endowment but are not intended to be an all-inclusive list of possible funding areas for the endowment. For example, funds could be used to support the local food pantry, but not to support a field trip to a sporting event for the local public school. When in doubt of a category, refer to the purpose statement of the fund and also the Holy Purpose and Core Values of RLC. Does the use of the funds support the continuing mission of not only RLC but the church as a whole?
Examples of Categories of Gifts
Service/Outreach Ministries
Service projects directly involving RLC disciples locally, nationally, or outside the US
Service events/projects directly involving RLC youth.
Support of Service events or organizations where RLC is not directly involved, but the mission of the event or organization is in alignment with that of RLC's.
Scholarships for those in Seminary
Scholarships for those attending Lutheran (not just ELCA) Colleges or Universities
Scholarships for special High School programs that provide the student with expanded spiritual and/or leadership growth
Special support material or equipment for youth or adult education
Spiritual or Leadership growth of Staff or Adults
Support of specific training programs that enhance the capabilities of our staff or adult leaders
Support (materials, equipment, registration fees) for staff sabbaticals
Endowing Annual Gifts
An annual ongoing gift to support missions such as the Heifer Project
There are always needs that cannot be anticipated or are unique in their requirements. This category would cover purposes such as
Special needs that are unique and not recurring
Matching gift for special fund raising programs
Funds to support Youth Gatherings/Missions
Satellite church startups
Endowment Fund Team
The investment of the Endowment is guided by the Endowment Fund Team which was created and is governed by the Endowment Bylaws. The Endowment Fund Team promotes the Endowment and works to increase the funds available for grants. Each year, the Endowment Fund Team reports on the income of the Endowment and determines how much money is available to be awarded as grants. The Endowment Fund Team reports on the status of the Endowment at congregation meetings.
Endowment Application Process

Again, and again fad diets have been proved unsuccessful. Diets focus on calorie restriction and the elimination of certain foods and generally do not take into account the dieter's ability to exercise self-control or regulate their eating behaviour. Many popular weight-loss programs offer coaching and support networks; however, once the goal weight has been achieved and the program concludes, the individual must continue unsupported.
Cultivating self-compassion and applying mindfulness to your eating habits can provide a much greater chance of maintaining a healthy weight.
Mindfulness involves increasing awareness of the current moment and observing without judgment. When applied to eating, it involves paying attention to what you eat and how you eat it. In essence, mindful eating means being aware of both your inner cues and outer environment and how they influence food choices and consumption.
Our fast-paced lifestyles and work schedule have an impact on the way we approach food. Emotions also play a large role in influencing our eating habits. According to Susan Albers, PsyD, author of Eat, Drink and Be Mindful, "The majority of food decisions people make have nothing to do with hunger. They have to do with stress, anxiety, sadness or frustration".
Eating mindfully is not about restrictions or calorie counting. As Albers writes, "Mindful eating is eating more consciously so you can eat just enough to be satisfied — without eating too much or too little." It allows you to eat in a sensible way so you can still enjoy the foods that you love.
When eating mindfully, you pay attention to the physical aspects of eating such as the smell, taste, texture and appearance of your meal. You focus your awareness on bodily sensations during and after eating. This allows you to become more in tune with your body and recognise hunger cues and feelings of satiety.
By acknowledging your thoughts and emotions around food as they arise and observing them rather than fighting them, you become more aware of your food choices, your eating habits and ultimately what triggers them.
The ability to tell the difference between cravings and genuine hunger pains, as well as to recognise and understand emotional triggers that cause you to overeat, allows you to restore your body's natural ability to regulate your eating behaviour.
Set up your meal in a quiet environment. Never stand up while eating and try not to read a magazine or look at your phone. Be aware of what you are doing. Sit down and take three large belly breaths before you start. Enjoy the colours, textures and aromas of the food. Some people like to practise gratitude for what is on their plate, which gives them the opportunity not only to be thankful but to pause before getting lost in a meal.
Chew thoroughly and put your cutlery down between bites. If your thoughts pull your awareness away from your meal, notice whether the pace of your eating quickens. Often half a sandwich disappears without us even being aware we are devouring it. Take a moment to bring your awareness back to the plate in front of you. Once again, take a few deep breaths and, as you resume eating, tune back into your senses.
When we eat mindfully, not only do we take the time to truly enjoy our food, we also feel more satisfied as our mind and body are registering what we are eating. Eating mindfully encourages us to eat more slowly, which offers a host of health benefits.
Digestion starts in the mouth and, by chewing our food thoroughly to break it down, we promote better digestion and optimum absorption of nutrients. It has been proved that when we eat more slowly we consume fewer calories, as the brain has time to register when we are full. Eating quickly can allow more air to enter your stomach, resulting in gas and bloating.
Mindfulness and self-compassion are powerful tools in managing your weight. The process of using them is not a quick one. It involves listening to your body, making sensible choices and not being enticed by external messages or convenient and often unhealthy options. Your ability to practise mindfulness and self-compassion improves over time. The more you practise, the greater your chance of success until mindful eating and self-compassion have become a way of life.

Teads Releases Global Study on Why People Block Ads
80 percent of respondents would reconsider installing ad blockers if the ad experience provided them with the choice to skip or close the ad
New York – January 27, 2016: Teads, the inventors of native video advertising and a global monetization platform for publishers, today released a comprehensive global study that examines why people use ad blockers online. Notably, the survey, conducted by Research Now, reveals that intrusive and forced ad formats are the number one driver of ad blocker adoption. Three out of four U.S. respondents say that intrusive ads were the largest motivator for installing ad blockers. Additionally, 80 percent of respondents would reconsider installing ad blockers if the ad experience provided them with the choice to skip or close the ad.
To download a copy of Teads' Global Ad Blocker study, please visit: http://info.teads.tv/ad-blockers-en
Additional notable findings in the U.S. include:
Intrusive Formats: 52 percent of respondents who have installed ad blockers rate pre-roll as the most intrusive video format. Unsurprisingly, pop-ads are the largest driver of ad blocker adoption with 88 percent of respondents using ad blockers to remove these ads from their online experience.
The Power of Choice: 80 percent of people would reconsider installing ad blockers if the ad experience provided them with the choice to skip or close the ad.
Word of Mouth: 44 percent of people who installed ad blockers on a mobile phone or desktop found out about ad blockers from their peers.
Your Web Browser Matters: 67 percent of respondents, who are active ad blocker users, reported using blockers on Chrome versus 38 percent on Firefox.
Profile of an Ad Blocker: On mobile, respondents were 22 percent more likely to be male than non-blockers. Respondents were also 78 percent more likely to be Hispanic than non-blockers. On desktop, respondents who have installed ad blockers were 32 percent more likely than mobile blockers to be willing to see non-intrusive ads.
"People around the world have expressed an aversion to intrusive ad formats but providing people choice is a global solution," said Rebecca Mahony, CMO, Teads. "The rise of ad blockers signals a wake-up call for the advertising industry and we must pay attention to the demands of consumers for advertising that respects their online experience. Teads is proud to offer a solution that gives users the choice to opt-out and we look forward to continuing our mission to inject sustainable advertising into the ecosystem in 2016."
Teads surveyed over 9,000 respondents globally for the study, representing three groups – active ad blockers on desktop/laptop, active ad blockers on mobile (smartphones/tablets), and respondents who are aware of blockers but have not yet installed. The Teads' ad blocker study was conducted in major media markets across the world including the United States, Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Argentina) and the European Top 5 including the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France and Italy.
Several interesting findings across the global markets include:
Respondents in the United States were the most likely to have aversion to intrusive formats with 74 percent of respondents who agree intrusive advertising is the #1 motivator to block ads versus Italy with only 60 percent of respondents who agree.
The largest number of respondents who list ads that provide a choice to view as motivation not to block ads were found in Mexico and Spain, with 89 percent of respondents agreeing this is the biggest motivator.
Argentinians were the most turned off by pre-roll ads, with 57 percent of respondents ranking pre-roll as highly intrusive. Interestingly, respondents from Argentina showed to prefer in-article native video ads, with only 13 percent of respondents finding these units highly intrusive.
In Germany, the home of Adblock Plus, respondents' motivation to block ads due to intrusive formats is very high at 72 percent and respondents who reported a consideration to avoid using ad blockers due to formats that offer choice is also very high at 83 percent.
Teads' flagship inRead format places video advertising within editorial content while the video is visible and gives the power of choice to the user by allowing them to skip the video if they don't want to watch it. The company's global premium publisher platform includes Forbes, Slate, Bonnier Corp, The Guardian, The Telegraph, and Nikkei, amongst many others. The world's leading brands rely on Teads' native video advertising solutions to reach their target audiences.
Teads, founded in 2011, is the inventor of native video advertising and a global monetization platform for publishers. Publishers work with Teads to create brand new video inventory and manage their existing inventory, monetizing it through programmatic buying, their own sales force, or third parties.
Teads' native video advertising solutions encompass a series of formats inserted deep into media content, like the inRead playing inside articles. It is changing the game within the video advertising market by creating unprecedented levels of premium inventory, which did not exist before.

Big 12 Statistics (PDF)
Rock Chalk Weekly: The Keys to Life
Written by Shelby Blankenbaker, Kansas Athletic Communications Student Assistant
At 6'9″ he may not blend in on the street. But on the basketball court, he fits right in, displaying his athleticism with his extensive wing span and hops. But isn't that what all Division I basketball players are known for? So what makes this newcomer any different? Watching one game, fans can see it's his attitude and the personality he brings to the court. Freshman Carlton Bragg Jr. is always outfitted with a beaming smile unlike any other player, and this, is what makes him stand out. Whether he just threw down a dunk from the free throw line or got pulled out of the game, Bragg is always smiling.
"I just have fun with it all the time. I know it's a business but I just make it fun all the time," Bragg said of playing college basketball.
Even in practice when Coach Self is on him about something, he is able to shake it off and smile. Bragg says he just laughs and tries not to take anything too personal. Teammate and suitemate, Lagerald Vick agrees that Bragg does a tremendous job letting things go in practice and displays a positive attitude that is contagious.
"Carlton is cool to be around. Everything about him is always positive. He's got a mindset that he is going to smile no matter what you say," Vick said of his teammate and friend.
Bragg not only has personality on the court, but off the court he and Vick have embraced their freshman year independence with style. When the two are not in class or at practice, they can be found hanging in their apartment, picking out each other's outfits in the mornings, rolling to class together on their hover boards, fiddling around on the ivory keys in Murphy Hall, or roller skating on the weekends. There's no doubt these rookies bring some zest to the Kansas basketball team.
Everything Bragg does, he does with personality. His charisma shines through the smile he regularly wears. He consistently has a positive attitude about everything he does. And that's his key to how he got where he is now.
"When I have bad days, I still just manage to smile. I don't let people see it. Everybody has bad days but I just think positively," Bragg said.
This mindset must have originated from somewhere, and his personality must have developed into its thriving state somehow. Bragg traces it back to his roots, where he came from and how he was raised. Now, being away from home, Bragg understands where he comes from and continues to look for the best in every situation. Much of his mindset is due to the influence of his mom and granddad.
"Seeing how life is and how much it sucked at one time really made me appreciate everything that I have now," Bragg shared. "Coming here and having more than what I had makes me appreciate everything."
Growing up in a rough part of Cleveland, Ohio, it wasn't always fun and games for Bragg. He was raised in a single-parent household where his mom took on the role of both his mother and his father. Bragg was the middle child of an older brother and a younger sister.
Bragg admits that his childhood wasn't easy, with limited food in the house and a mother who was trying to provide for her kids. Bragg's mother's role played a vital part in who he is today. She encouraged him to always be himself and never let anyone change him. Bragg and his mother share a very close relationship. For Bragg, she instilled the importance of education at a young age. Bragg confessed he used to get mad at his mother for punishing him for not getting good grades, but understands why she preached then and thanks her now.
"My mom wasn't really into sports, she was more into the books. She said basketball was cool, but she was focused more on grades," Bragg emphasized.
Bragg's granddad was another primary influencer throughout his childhood. Bragg's grandad began taking him to the local recreation center when he was in sixth grade. Thurgood Marshall Recreation Center was located within walking distance from Bragg's house and quickly turned into a second home for the youngster. The rec would not only be the site keeping Bragg off of the streets and out of trouble, but it would also serve as the catalyst for his love for sports.
Bragg's love for sports developed at the recreation center as older kids showed him the ropes. Monday through Friday, after school and in between practices, Bragg would spend much of his free time at the rec. Basketball wasn't Bragg's initial first love though.
Bragg asserted, "Baseball was my passion. In eighth grade I wanted to be a baseball player. You could say I was really good. I was a first baseman and a pitcher and I kept earning MVP (most valuable player). People were telling me how good I was."
However, as gifted as Bragg was at baseball, his growth spurt and neighborhood told him to explore other sports. Bragg was becoming one of the tallest kids and had the natural potential to excel at basketball. In Bragg's neighborhood, not many kids were playing baseball either. Basketball was the major trade for kids his age. That next summer, Bragg was playing basketball. Bragg liked basketball so much that he tried out for his high school team.
"Coming into my freshman year, there were a lot of people better than me and bigger than me. A lot of people didn't think I would make it to where I am at now. Coming in as a freshman, I didn't play on the freshman team, I played on JV (junior varsity). I played JV for two years," Bragg said.
Fortunate enough to go to a private college-preparatory high school in Cleveland, with alumni like Mike Golic, host of Mike & Mike on ESPN, and former Indiana Pacers player and current lead basketball analyst for CBS Sports, Clark Kellogg, Villa Angela-St. Joseph High school is where Bragg's basketball career took off.
Basketball soon claimed the center stage in his life. High school coaches told Bragg that he could be something special if he focused only on basketball. Unfortunately for Bragg, that meant he would give up his childhood passion of baseball.
"My coaches said I needed to focus on one sport, so I chose basketball," Bragg said. "I really liked baseball. I didn't want to quit, so that part was really hard."
After playing junior varsity his first two years of high school, Bragg started for the varsity basketball squad his junior year. Bragg also played for one of Ohio's club basketball teams through AAU (Amateur Athletic Union). AAU gave Bragg a lot of exposure since numerous college coaches come to watch talented, young athletes compete against one another.
Bragg traces his discovery as a highly-sought after recruit to an invitational camp in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania called Hoop Group. Bragg said Hoop Group introduced him to a level of competition he had never experienced. He was playing against some of the top-ranked players in his class from all over the country. Playing against some of the best athletes in the country allowed college coaches to evaluate Bragg and show interest in him. After the Hoop Group camp, Bragg said college offers started racking up.
Fast-forwarding to his choice to come to Kansas, Bragg said that Lawrence felt like a place he could call home, which was the main reason he chose to play in Allen Fieldhouse. He also liked the idea of being able to follow in the footsteps of some of basketball's biggest legends who all started at Kansas.
All the hype that Bragg brings with his talents on the court may give people the wrong idea about his facade. However, Bragg isn't your typical highly sought-after athlete. He isn't afraid to strike up a conversation with anyone in class or walking around on campus. This derives from the type of person he is.
Vick agreed, "He smiles a lot. He is just friendly with everybody. It can take him a long way talking to different people and not just keeping to himself."
His personality is evident by his willingness to talk to anyone, but Bragg also displays a wide array of eccentric talents off the court that proves he's got quite the personality.
With his Late Night debut, it is no longer a secret that Bragg has a way with the grand piano. He stunned fans with his ability to stroke the ivory keys and stole the show with his smile. Bragg lives for showing off his talents off the court like playing piano because he believes it makes him more than just a basketball player.
"Playing the piano in front of all those people was awesome. I wasn't thinking about it, I just went out there smiling. It was awesome. I'll probably never do that again though," Bragg recollected about his first Late Night experience.
It may come as a surprise, but Bragg didn't start playing piano until his senior year of high school when he stumbled upon his newfound interest while taking a music class. Bragg said that the class began with simple songs with only a few different notes. However, when it came time for the test on the keys, Bragg missed a few. When his teacher allowed him to use the sheet music, he admitted that he couldn't read any of it, and was just basing his playing off what it sounded like. From then on, Bragg began teaching himself popular songs by ear. To this day he still hasn't learned to read music.
Vick supports his friend in his piano playing virtue. Occasionally Vick and Bragg can be found in Murphy Hall messing around on the keyboards. One thing that impresses Vick is Bragg's ability to listen to the keys and learn any song as he goes. Bragg says that some-day he will learn to read music, but as for right now he seems to be figuring it out on his own.
Not only do Bragg and Vick spend their time off of the court making music, but they also dedicate every Sunday night roller skating on the hardwood. Bragg's childhood recreation center not only birthed a McDonald's All-American, but also an avid skater. Bragg remembers first wanting to learn how to skate at Thurgood Marshall Rec Center with all the other kids his age. It was just a coincidence that Vick loved tearing up the rink as well.
The two have made their rounds at Topeka roller skating rinks and have moved on to skating in Kansas City at Winnwood Skate Center. The duo enjoys their time off the court being able to showcase their talents in skates. Bragg mentioned he is quite skilled on skates. Vick acknowledged that Bragg can do a 360 on skates, and Vick is attempting to learn with the assistance of Bragg. Both freshman said they have tried to get the rest of the team to come out and join them, but their teammates have graciously declined.
Bragg enjoys his spare time off the court, but still manages to have fun on the court. His easy-going personality is showcased during games after a rim-rocking dunk and his unselfish assists. He is seen always laughing and showing off his smile.
After college, Bragg hopes to play in the NBA, but his ultimate goal and key to success would be to coach after he has expired his own time playing basketball. He wants to be able to give back and help people. Bragg displays a great deal of gratitude for the opportunities he has received throughout high school and college. He sees people who haven't had the opportunities or things he has and immediately feels a sense of gratefulness. Bragg explained that is the reason why he wants the opportunity to give back.
"I want to help others; teach and guide people," Bragg summed up. "I'd like to be able to teach little kids how to play basketball and how to respect the game. I want to be able to teach them what I know so they can pass it along."
His talents and personality have gotten him this far, and for Carlton Bragg Jr., there is no stopping him from reaching what is next. His possibilities are endless, much like his smile.

The contest to become the opening group for Triple S may have been shaken up by the arrival of the now seven-member group HE?VENS, but QUARTET NIGHT generously declines to take advantage of the decision in their favor… as long as the other two bands agree to an unexpected new phase of the competition! Are the other two rival groups ready for a new series of cross-band duets, with each song pairing one member of ST?RISH and one member of HE?VENS? Will Haruka be up to writing yet another round of spectacular songs? It's time to pick up the tempo and sing to the balconies as the musical one-upmanship only gets wilder in UTANO ?

City of Lexington deadline for CentrePointe is Wednesday
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A number of extensions on an order to fill-in the CentrePointe construction site in downtown Lexington expire on Wednesday, March 30, 2016. The city hasn't said what will happen on deadline day. The city issued the order in April of last year to the developer, the Webb Companies, after city officials claimed no work had been done on the site in two months.
The Webb Cos. denied the claim, saying work had been done within the 60-day period. Under the agreement between the developer and the city, the city could fill-in the construction site if the Webb Cos. failed to do it. The hole was dug on the site, that is bordered by Main, Vine, Upper and Limestone streets, for a three-story underground parking garage.
The CentrePointe development is supposed to feature a hotel, extended-stay hotel, apartment building, office tower, restaurant and retail space. The private project has been delayed for years after the unexpected death of the lead investor and the recession.
It is still unclear how the Webb Cos. plans to pay for the construction of the underground parking garage. The Webb Cos. claims the city originally agreed to issue bonds to pay for the parking garage, but later refused, further delaying the project. The city claims it did not agree to issue bonds for the project.
There has been talk that the bonds could possibly be issued through a non-profit arm of the Kentucky League of Cities. Jonathan Steiner, executive director and CEO of the Kentucky League of Cities, told the Lexington Herald-Leader on Tuesday that the non-profit had spoken with the Webbs recently.
"We have spoken with the Webb Cos. and stand ready to work with them," Steiner told the Herald-Leader. "We have told them we are happy to move forward on the bonds on their timeline as needed."
Dudley Webb, of the Webb Cos., told the newspaper that he hadn't heard anything from the city regarding the site fill-in order from last April. "We haven't and don't expect to," Webb told the Herald-Leader. "It appears that we are now in unison and moving forward to bring this project to fruition. That is good."

Mbabila "Small" Batoh and his group would perform at funerals in Ghana through the night, singing the departed into the afterlife. Batoh died this month at age 74, reportedly of COVID.
There is a sad irony in writing an obituary for a man who spent his adult life as a funeral singer.
For decades, Mbabila "Small" Batoh led his trio, fra fra, in providing funeral music throughout rural northern Ghana.
"Small," as he was widely known, played a homemade kologo (a 2-string lute)— with dog tags attached to the end for rattles. He belted original songs like "You Can't Escape Death" and "No One Is an Orphan" with a tenor of raspy virtuosity.
He could riff almost endlessly, and his performances grew freer and stronger past the 10-minute mark. At funerals, Small and his group would often play and sing from midday to long past dawn, ending only when the family felt that their loved one had been sung onward from this world and into the afterlife.
But their music was rarely sorrowful. Fra fra's exultant singing and dancing bear more than a passing resemblance to the boisterousness of New Orleans jazz funeral parades.
On Feb. 6, Batoh died, reportedly of COVID.
His death came in the midst of a career surge.
Following the release of fra fra's debut album Funeral Songs in 2020 (which I produced), Batoh was invited to perform at Peter Gabriel's 38th annual WOMAD Festival of music and arts, held in England. It would have been the fulfillment of his long held dream to travel outside of Ghana for the first time and perform abroad.
The festival was twice postponed due to the pandemic but was scheduled to happen this July, and Batoh remained eager to go.
I first encountered Small's music while visiting Ghana to record at the region's witch camps in late 2018. I heard tell of his funeral songs and after I searched him out, he expressed interest in making a record.

"Small," as he was widely known, played a homemade kologo (a 2-string lute)— with dog tags attached to the end for rattles.
I set up and awaited the group at the assigned time and place— a gravel plot amid former farmland slated for development near Small's home. More than an hour passed. and I began to fear that the trio wouldn't show.
Then in the distance I heard faint music. Small and his comrades were playing before even coming into sight. The band arrived in procession, unhurriedly gyrating and zig-zagging their way toward me and continuing without pause when they arrived.
It was there on the outskirts of Ghana's northern hub, Tamale, beneath the midday sun, that I experienced one of the most powerful musical performances of my lifetime — the men encircling me and kicking up dust as they sang and danced.
Small was relatively short – standing approximately 5' 6'' – and that's how he got his nickname. The name also referred to the "small" money people donated for serenades. Small actually came to prefer this one-name moniker— reclaiming it from its derogatory connotations.
I had thought he was perhaps in his 40s or 50s until I saw Small's official documents for his passport application to travel to England. I was gobsmacked. Though he moved with the litheness of an adolescent— even duckwalking as he played— the man was a septuagenarian.
He sang, he danced, he duckwalked — and he was excited about plans for his first trip abroad this summer, to perform at Peter Gabriel's WOMAD Festival in England. Marilena Umuhoza Delli for NPR hide caption

"Small was a legend to us locally. His song 'Naked' was a hit— a classic— in the community," says local taxi driver, Sammi Baisuru, 52. The song jests about how we all — rich or poor — enter and leave this world with nothing, not even the clothing on our back.
"He was a gentle soul who lived for people to be happy. If someone was sad, he wouldn't stop singing until he made them laugh and smile," says Basiru.
Small was born less than 25 miles from the Burkina Faso border, a two-day's drive and a world away from the modernity of the coastal capital, Accra. Like many from the north, Small never benefited from the post-colonial consolation prize of English-language skills.
He sang in Frafra (also known as Farefari) — a language with only around 300,000 speakers and spoken by fewer than 2% of the citizens even within Ghana.
Small — whose personal mantra was "be patient"— proved among the too few rural musicians who overcome geographic, linguistic and economic barriers to earn the right to play before a global audience.
"Small was good to everybody. He was peaceful and just, and always willing to help any one. No one really believes yet that he has died. They have a hard time even imagining that he is gone and have been coming to see for themselves if it is true," says his wife, Lariba Mbabila, 54.
Small devoted himself to alleviating the grief of others. Recordings of his own voice now help those closest to him mourn. Yet, in a gut-wrenching twist, Small's family finds themselves unable to fund his own funeral. Quite prophetically, his final release is the single, "Death Can Come at Any Time," for which all proceeds benefit his survivors.
For a lifetime Small led the way.
In the face of mortality, he danced.

WF Life Church invites those to seek connection, write on prayer wall
by: Nicholas Quallich
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — There's been a lot of attention given to "the wall." However, in Wichita Falls, there's a different kind of wall now up: a prayer wall.
It's found outside of Life Church on Seymour Highway. Pastor Gene Holley said there is no underlying political message behind the wall's construction. Instead, it's meant to be a way to welcome those who are in need of prayers but may feel uncomfortable walking into a church or returning to one after so many years of being away.
People can come any time of day and write a prayer request on the wall, and church members will then pray for it.
"We do want to be a place where they can come and find God. And we don't want to be a place that's just a family locked inside these walls. We have to reach into the homes of this community," Holley said.
Once the walls are filled, they'll be turned and filled with more prayers. The wall is open to anyone with any prayer needs.

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Tax season is right around the corner.
That's why preparers with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program are getting ready to assist those throughout the community.
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — At the North Texas State Hospital, more than 970 vaccines were administered as part of the Wichita Falls-Wichita County Public Health District's vaccine clinic.
This clinic was appointment-based and was a partnership between the health district, Wichita County Judge Woody Gossom, the state hospital and the community healthcare center.
WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — The Wichita Falls-Wichita County Public Health District announced it will be receiving almost 2,000 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine next week.
Health district officials said they are not sure the exact date they will be getting the doses, but said it will be during the week beginning on Monday, Jan. 18.

Q: Magento 2.3 : Grid mass action Select All not sending any id I've created a grid via ui component with a mass action. I've also added a selections column so when the user click on one or more checkboxes, the items in the grid get selected and the mass action can be called on those items.
This work if the user selects only some records from the list, but if the user selects all the items by the action dropdown "select all", then the mass action cannot work.
This is because different parameters are used:
- when the user checks the boxes individually, then the "selected" parameter is passed to my controller with the id selected
- when the user chooses "select all", no "selected" parameter is passed. Instead, there is a parameter "excluded" false and no ids are passed to my controller.
Magento doesn't need the ids when "select all" is chosen because the mass action simply loads the collection. My problem is that my grid is not related to a table, so I cannot call any model/collection. I have a custom data provider that gets the data from an external source and displays the data in the grid.
Calling the external data all over again in the mass action controller is far more expensive than simply passing the ids, so simulating the magento way of reloading the collection is not a desirable option. The best thing in my opinion would be to pass the "selected" parameter also when all items are selected with the "select all" dropdown option.
Is there a way to achive this?
My code is pretty standard:

*

*the mass action and the grid is build via ui component listing:

<listing xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd">
...
<listingToolbar name="listing_top">
  <massaction name="listing_massaction">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="selectProvider" xsi:type="string">my_provider.ids</item>
                    <item name="indexField" xsi:type="string">id</item>
                </item>
            </argument>
            <action name="massaction_name">
                <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                        <item name="type" xsi:type="string">massaction_name</item>
                        <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Mass Action Name</item>
                        <item name="url" xsi:type="url" path="route/controller/path"/>
                        <item name="confirm" xsi:type="array">
                            <item name="title" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Title</item>
                            <item name="message" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Are you sure?</item>
                        </item>
                    </item>
                </argument>
            </action>
        </massaction>
...
<columns name="my_provider_columns">
   <column name="ids">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="indexField" xsi:type="string">id</item>
                    <item name="dataType" xsi:type="string">select</item>
                    <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Ui/js/grid/columns/onoff</item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </column>
...

*

*the controller retrieves the request parameters:

...
class Path extends Action implements HttpGetActionInterface, HttpPostActionInterface
...
public function execute() {
  $params = $this->getRequest()->getParams();
}
...

As I mentioned, $params returns an array "selected" with the ids or a flag set to false if "selectAll" was used for the selection:
array (
  'selected' =>
  array (
    0 => '505928',
...

array (
  'excluded' => 'false'
...

But I need the "selected" array also when the selectAll option is used. Is there a way to get it?

A: You were so close! On Magento 2 grids
Mass Action Can Work Two Ways.
For smaller collections, I find this works find
protected function massAction(AbstractCollection $collection) {

$invoiceIds = $this->getRequest()->getParam('selected');

For  larger collections, it fires the Execute function. This example is from the invoice grid
public function execute()
    {

        $collection = $this->filter->getCollection($this->invoicecollectionFactory->create());

A: Use a custom JS AMD module that extends from Magento_Ui/js/grid/tree-massactions.
You will configure the mass listing to use this module on this node
here <massaction name="listing_massaction" component="Vendor_Module/path/to/js/module">
In the custom JS override the following method from the parent
defaultCallback: function (action, data) {

Change
var itemsType = data.excludeMode ? 'excluded' : 'selected',

With
var itemsType = 'selected',

Keep everything else from the parent method.
Clean cache. Redeploy static-content if needed.
There is a drawback though, I'm almost sure this will send you only the ids from the current page, I say this for obvious reasons the markup for the other pages is not yet loaded so the checkboxes can not be checked. I suspect that is the point of the 'excluded' feature as well.
If you do not know how to extend  Magento_Ui/js/grid/tree-massactions take a look here Use custom JS official docs

A: Update your listing file
    <massaction name="listing_massaction" component="Magento_Ui/js/grid/tree-massactions">
        <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
            <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="selectProvider" xsi:type="string">your_custom_listing.your_custom_listing.my_provider_columns.ids</item>
                <item name="component" xsi:type="string">Magento_Ui/js/grid/tree-massactions</item>
                <item name="indexField" xsi:type="string">id</item>
            </item>
        </argument>
        <action name="is_delete">
            <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="config" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="type" xsi:type="string">delete</item>
                    <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Delete</item>
                    <item name="url" xsi:type="url" path="your_admin_route_name/your_admin_contoller_name/massDelete">
                    </item>
                    <item name="confirm" xsi:type="array">
                        <item name="title" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Delete items</item>
                        <item name="message" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Are you sure you wan't to delete selected items?</item>
                    </item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </action>

I Hope This Helps You.

A: Can you refer code used in following blog..See approved solution.
Admin Grid "Select All" for mass action only sends the visible IDs
In above link there is code for select All for mass action.

A: After 2 days debug about this, i've found that this is the feature of Magento.
It won't post the "selected" param to the controller.
Instead, we should get the ids by this way:
$collection = $this->filter->getCollection($this->collectionFactory->create());
$productIds = $collection->getAllIds();

In above code, $this->filter->getCollection()->getAllids() is Magento way to get  all the pushed ids.
Note: The $this->filter is get from Magento\Ui\Component\MassAction\Filter, and $this->collectionFactory is get from your custom collection, in this case is Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\CollectionFactory
You can check more information and example in vendor/magento/module-catalog/Controller/Adminhtml/Product/MassStatus.php
Example Full Code:
<?php

use Magento\Ui\Component\MassAction\Filter;
use Magento\Catalog\Model\ResourceModel\Product\CollectionFactory;

class MassStatus
{

    public function __construct(
        \Magento\Backend\App\Action\Context $context
        Filter $filter,
        CollectionFactory $collectionFactory,
    ) {
        $this->filter = $filter;
        $this->collectionFactory = $collectionFactory;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }

    public function execute()
    {
        $collection = $this->filter->getCollection($this->collectionFactory->create());
        $productIds = $collection->getAllIds();
        // do something ..
    }
}

Hope it's help.

A: Use a custom JS AMD Module to extend (recommended) or directly update core file (not recommended)
Path: vendor/magento/module-ui/view/base/web/js/grid/massactions.js
change defaultCallback function
From:
defaultCallback: function (action, data) {
        var itemsType = data.excludeMode ? 'excluded' : 'selected',
            selections = {};

        selections[itemsType] = data[itemsType];

        if (!selections[itemsType].length) {
            selections[itemsType] = false;
        }

        _.extend(selections, data.params || {});

        utils.submit({
            url: action.url,
            data: selections
        });
    },

To:
defaultCallback: function (action, data) {
        var itemsType = data.excludeMode ? 'excluded' : 'selected',
            selections = data;

        selections[itemsType] = data[itemsType];

        if (!selections[itemsType].length) {
            selections[itemsType] = false;
        }

        _.extend(selections, data.params || {});

        utils.submit({
            url: action.url,
            data: selections
        });
    },

In short only change selections = {}; to selections = data; Thats all!
