Wisdom From the Little-Read Book: Chapter 002
Wit, wisdom, pseudonietzscheanistic aphorisms, and bad jokes.
* In God we trust, all others must produce controlled and scientifically reproducible results.
* I've come to the conclusion that Marxists regard Marxism the same way Bullwinkle regards his top hat from which he is CERTAIN he will pull a rabbit. "This Time for SURE!" Judging from the results these last 100 years, Marxism is the ultimate Fractured Fairy Tale.
* We pace the floor at midnight in bare feet in The Long Dark Hallway Of The Soul. And there are Legos on the floor.
* "I believe and confess, Lord, that You are truly the Christ, the Son of the living God, who came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the first." - Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom. And God help me if I ever forget that.
* It sez here: Congress begins to understand the extent of Snowden's treachery.... hmn. What are we to make of Edward Snowden?
Simple. He. is. a. TRAITOR. He ought to hang.
How did he betray us?
He sat at a computer terminal in a contractor's office that had been configured incorrectly. The firewall was down. He used a commonly available 'sniffer' program to go through the LAN and find all the files he was interested in, then dumped them into thumb drives. He then used the same program to cover his tracks. Easy peasy for a computer guy.
He's not a hero, he's a Scourge of God: sent to punish our sins, but still a bastard in his own right unworthy of respect. The smart move was to turn himself in to the FBI VERY PUBLICLY and choose to be hanged like Nathan Hale. His life was over in any event. He should have gone out with a bang.... he would have been far more respectable than that disgusting Army kid. As it is, I'll volunteer for the firing squad.
* Y? Male. Y Not? Female. That's the way it is, no matter how people want to pretend. Dongles and tubes are just plumbing. Sexual identity is written by God in every cell of your body.
* Democrats butchered about a million women last year. Get back to me about their moral superiority, but only AFTER they change their stance.
* The problem with representing poor people is that they are, um, poor.
* He claimed to be God. That makes Him either God.... or the moral equivalent of someone who claims to be a boiled egg. If He wasn't God then the hell with Him. But if He was, well, that puts us in an odd position, doesn't it?
* It sez here: "I got Confidence - What Do People Like About You?" Hmn. Silence....?
* Anyone who admires European socialism is free to choose it for themselves. There are hourly departures at the terminal.
* "It wasn't about a blue dress, it was about perjury, obstruction of justice, and the gall of a notorious sexual predator to lecture the nation about sexual harassment in the workplace while he was taking advantage of a young woman under the...." >> Yeah yeah. Right. It was about sexually uptight assholes who wanted to get into Clinton's face about getting laid and to take away a woman's right to choose. - The Fog Machine
* Obamacare saves on long term medical costs if we're dead. Why don't they just give us Zyklon-B inhalation therapy at 65 and have done with it?
* Dating Tip for Married Guys: Don't. Unless it's your wife.
* I'll put it plainly. I support traditional marriage. That's it the end goodbye. If that bothers anybody, too bad. We were warned from the beginning that the world would be most hostile to us. "No servant is greater than their master."
* Nope. No recall elections for Federal officials. It's completely unconstitutional. And arguing for a return to state appointed Senators is like calling for depriving votes from women: not gonna happen. I DO wish my Tea Party friends would fight the fights that they can win and ignore the ones that they cannot.
* My reaction to someone (other than Iz) playing the ukelele tends to resemble that of John Belushi encountering Stephen Bishop playing a guitar at Delta House..... but I am very willing to make an exception in her case.

Q: Can I inherit a class to provide com-interop to Generics? I have a class that contains a number of public xxx as List(Of someType). This is widely used throughout our code. Unfortunately I also need to provide those lists as ArrayList because we need that same object to be accessible in VBA (Excel specifically).
I am familiar with abstract and override/new, but this would mean changing a whole lot of code that's already implemented, and, to my eye, creating a lot of extra code (there are maybe 50 of these things) to abstract out the objects when in fact that's the case that's used 99% of the time.
Here's the basic problem...
public class cProp
    private Eyes as List(Of Integer)
    public property Eyes as List(Of Integer)
        'get and set that does a lot of work
    end property
    'repeat 50 times
end class

Almost all of our code uses cProp, so writing a 50-item abstract base class that has nothing else in it seems like its doing nothing but introduce bugs. So ideally I'd like something like...
<ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)>
public class dProp
    inherits cProp
    public readonly property **something** Eyes as ArrayList
        'convert List to ArrayList
    end property
end class

If such a thing exists, I haven't figured it out yet.

A: That's not possible. COM does not support generics and calls to generic interfaces or classes (direct or indirect) will result in a E_NOINTERFACE error. Here's what you may not do when defining types for interopability:

*

*Accessing generic interfaces from COM.

*Accessing class interfaces for nongeneric classes that derive from generic classes.

*Generating class interfaces for generic classes. For example, the _FooBar interface cannot be generated for the Foo<Bar> class.

While your .NET implementation may use generic types, you are only able to expose non-generic versions to COM. Instad of exposing IEnumerable<int> or IList<int> to COM, let your class interface inherit from IList instead (or use it as property type). This interface is COM compatible and the generic version implements it, so you can keep type safety on the .NET side and consume the non-generic version from COM.

The Ties That Bind: How Domestic Politics Influence Ties with Extraterritorial Courts-A Study of the JCPC
By Young, Harold
During the last half century, extraterritorial courts and the number of acceding states have markedly increased. As Robert Koehane notes, better theories of domestic politics are needed to bridge the gap between external and internal environments in a systematic way. (1) Therefore, it is important to better understand the relationships between the extraterritorial court and the state. This paper posits that the governments of those states will seek a change or disengage from the extraterritorial court if they perceive a disconnection between themselves and the extraterritorial court. The perception of such a disconnection is influenced by changes in the political environment that make the state more sensitive to decisions that are unfavorable to it. To test this theory, this paper examines arguably the first and best example of an extraterritorial court, namely the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC). An examination JCPC decisions where the state is a party to the appeal in the context of different political environments demonstrate that unfavorable decisions in themselves do not move the state to abandon the court. Conversely, favorable decisions do not perpetuate access to the JCPC. These findings suggest that the decisions of the court are not sufficient cause for the state to abandon the court. This work is a first step in broadening our understanding of the linkage of states and extraterritorial judicial institutions in the context of domestic political environments.
State sovereignty is linked to autonomy and can be defined as possessing specific capacities or powers that can be utilized without the consent or approval of another. (2) Extraterritorial courts are institutions that states accede to and delegate decision making authority. (3) This effectively outsources a judicial function traditionally considered a part of the domestic domain. Relying on an extraterritorial court as an appellate court for an independent state is fundamentally incompatible with the modern notion of sovereignty. (4) Recognition of the need for more research into the connection between domestic and international politics goes back at least fifty years, with the call for development of a linkage theory that is supported by a research agenda on national-international flows of influence. The absence of such a theory was due both to the lack of communication between those who specialize in national politics, those who specialize in international relations and the radical revision of the standard conception of politics that this theoretical approach would entail. (5)
Exemplary of the need to better understand the link between the domestic political environment and relationships with extraterritorial courts follows a series of decisions by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) denying the United Kingdom (U.K.) the right to deport suspected terrorists. (6) The 2015 political environment--with the Conservative Party in power--was quite different from that of 1988, under the Labour Party when Parliament ratified the Human Rights Convention in 1998 and acceded to the ECtHR. Furthermore, the unfavorable decisions of the ECtHR came at a time when the governing Conservative Party had publicly expressed its policy objective of limiting the jurisdiction of the ECtHR in the U.K. However, discord in the governing coalition has led to no action being taken. In June 2015, Prime Minister Cameron from the governing Conservative Party was cited by Watt for refusing to back away from the pledge to withdraw the U.K. from the ECtHR. (7) Prime Minister Cameron claims that the court's decisions impinge on British sovereignty. (8) Furthermore, he refuses to rule out abandoning the European Convention on Human Rights unless the U.K. can win the right to veto decisions of the ECtHR. When questioned directly by fellow Conservative Party Member of Parliament Andrew Mitchell however, Prime Minister Cameron stated that there are no immediate plans to abandon the ECtHR. …

I am never sure what you really call these. Are they an eyeglass necklace, are they an eyeglass chain? Whatever they are this one is going as a gift to someone who is always misplacing their reading glasses. This way they can hang them around their neck and look stylish at the same time.
It was a little different to make this as usually I start at the middle of the chain and work up both sides. This time I had to start at the ends of the chain and work to the middle. Not really hard just different. Well I will probably be doing more of these as this one might just get lost along with the glasses.
I think the nature of reading glasses are to wonder off on their own to find a book to read and get lost in the process. Maybe with the leash (necklace) they will stay by their owners.
Leave a comment in the comment section below and if you know of a good name for these let me know. (I think I'll call him George, and love him and keep him forever).


Here's the top of the french crowdfunding sites for you. The list of internet sites that allow you to earn the most money.
The ranking of the best crowdfunding sites and crowdlendind. At the level of the criteria it is simply the best sites for me and I recommend the most.
The annual yield rate fluctuates between 4 and 9% but the length of the loans is much higher (up to 5 years).
The site is also easy to use. You have the possibility to lend dice €20.
Each investment has a return between 6 and 11% per year. Opening a "Lender" account is free and no management fees. Pretup is nice but nothing more. The investment ticket starts at € 50 for a business project.
Finsquare was the best platform for several reasons. The interest rate is 5 to 10% over a maximum of 24 months, so it is in average loans. The advantage of finsquare it is simplicity. The site is indeed very easy to use. Registration is fast, the concept grasps easily. You pay to the TMP and French SMEs with an important interest rate. Loans are made by enriching bid on the interest rate. One of the advantages of this site is that he's the loan insurance, which guarantees you a smooth. Sponsorship is also great. Can can loan of € 20 and icing on the cake it is no fee for lenders.
Prexem just logically Gets the bronze medal. The interest rate is chosen by the site, and that up to 10%. Prexem is a young platform user friendly. At the concept level, Prexem is unique, in fact they are the first in France to have a platform of loans with a guarantee in case of default of companies Fund. Plus the loan's former, more it is secure, because the guaranteed amount in the background increases. Possibility of loan of € 20. No fees. The site is still an empty stomach but is very promising.
C´EST Lendopolis that determines how much you win by setting the rate of pay.
Inidev is a platform that rises. Inidev is the real estate crowdlending. But inidev to a concept, the sustainable city. You will find both renewable energy of real estate which is very rare in the platforms. Inidev is also the 3 types of crowdfunding. It is the gift, the loan and investment capital. You have the choice on this platform. She is very promising.

A Buyer's Guide to Transcreation
Presenter Renato Beninatto is Moravia's Chief Marketing Officer. In his webinar, "Transcreation: How to Get It Right," he answered questions on the definition, challenges, and opportunities of transcreation.
What is transcreation?
Transcreation is what we call marketing localization. It is a set of activities—far beyond linguistic effort alone — that completely adapt and transform a marketing concept to suit the target market's culture. It is a reworking of a product or service's materials, images, examples, metaphors, etc., to preserve fidelity to the message's brand, vibe, look, and feel while still being very local. It touches all aspects of a campaign: tag lines, product names, Web content, print media, and multimedia like audio, animations, video, and Web banners.
Learn more: A Practical Guide to Localization for Digital Marketing
How does transcreation differ from translation alone?
Word play, double entendre, and humor — these are the favorite tools of advertisers. No surprise, they are often also nightmares for translators. Take the word "shot" for example. In English, it can apply to drinks, to photography, to golf, or to weapons. A golfing equipment company could use any of those images as a play on "nice shot," but the double entendre would be lost in languages for which these are all different words. Transcreation ensures that a campaign piece recreates the impact of the original, even if not necessarily using the same message.
Is there a price difference between transcreation and translation?
Let's talk a little about money and pricing. When it comes to transcreation, the price of a word is at least double of what LSPs charge. It is common practise to budget a certain project based on how many hours and the effort that will be required to handle it.
"The World On Time" was the early slogan for FedEx. It is just four words. If you translate that using traditional price-per-word rates, you would get it for less than a dollar. But imagine how many hundreds of thousands of hours and dollars the advertising agency must have invested until deciding on this very powerful slogan!
Translating something like that and adapting it to different countries requires effort that is not captured in per-word pricing. While the projects are relatively small when compared to high-word-volume technical documentation, they also call for more attention. It is one thing if a manual, which is used occasionally and always after the purchase, contains mistakes, typos, or punctuation errors. Pre-sales marketing materials are altogether different.
There is a lot of research that indicates that bad language in pre-sales will affect the results of the company — most consumers don't react well to badly written text. If the message doesn't sound quite right the buyer will subconsciously carry a negative message throughout the buying process. The aim of transcreation is for the material to read as though it was well written in the reader's language, to create interest in buying your product. Unsurprisingly, then, transcreation is often priced based on the hours and effort required to handle the job, not per word alone.
What challenges does transcreation bring?
Firstly, localization managers and other typical buyers of translation services have a hard time convincing procurement departments that transcreation is a different effort that needs to be priced accordingly.
Secondly, buyers who are used to the readily available human resources and turnarounds of translation jobs sometimes fail to understand that transcreation resources are more scarce and more expensive, outside of the usual translation talent pool.
Thirdly, buyers used to leveraging previously translated materials for cost savings will find little leverage here. For example, technical material like software, manuals, even user interfaces can be translated (with minor adjustments) into one Spanish for the 26 markets that speak Spanish, but the related marketing and sales materials absolutely need to be adapted to each local market.
Who provides transcreation services and to whom?
There are three factors that determine which kind of vendor would be right for transcreation jobs: the product type, the maturity of the local advertising market, and who "owns" the marketing budget.
Niche players — small agencies that specialize in marketing translation — work mostly with in-country creative agencies that employ copywriters and advertising professionals who create a brand's locale-specific approach. They are better for sales-related materials and deal with projects that tend to be traditional advertising and micro sites that range from 2,000 to 5,000 words. They have greater license to create the brand as they go.
Then there are large language service provides like Moravia. We work with larger projects usually involving large numbers of languages. The transcreations are generally applied to websites, content fliers, and other marketing material that is still highly branded but less creative in nature. While niche copywriters may refer to the source English copy, it is almost irrelevant. Transcreators, on the other hand, will tend to use capitals, reference glossaries, and general translation technology to increase consistency and handle larger volumes.
A few years ago, Common Sense Advisory estimated that in the U.S. marketing and advertising accounted for around $150 million in transcreation work. But that was just the U.S. There is growth and demand for Chinese transcreation. Middle Eastern and Scandinavian languages had their recent spike. And ethnic markets everywhere, not only Hispanics in the U.S. but Poles in Ireland and the UK, Arab-speakers in Sweden — every market where there is a significant immigrant population creates opportunity for local transcreation.
With increasing demand for integrating marketing translation with search engine optimization and with easy access to new media like low-cost video and banner ads, there is no end to the need for transcreation.

How can you tell when you need a new one?
There are a few signs that let you know you need a new chimney cap. If you are noticing a draft in the room where your chimney is at, then this is a sign that you need a new chimney cap. If there are birds, raccoons or squirrels in your chimney, then this is also a sign that your current chimney cap is damaged, and you need a new chimney cap.
If you don't replace your chimney cap when it is damaged, then water is the main problem. Water will enter your chimney and it will damage the inside of your chimney. Water will rust the lining and all metal parts. Over time, the damage will eventually destroy your chimney, which will be costly to the homeowner to repair.
The lifespan of a chimney cap can vary. Some of the galvanized steel chimney caps can last up to five years, but stainless steel and copper chimney caps can last up to thirty years.
Chimney caps are very affordable. Chimney caps can start at around thirty dollars, and go up from there. The type of chimney cap will determine the price.

Russian-American conductor Lidiya Yankovskaya is a fiercely committed advocate for Russian masterpieces, operatic rarities, and contemporary works on the leading edge of classical music. Her strength as an innovative and multi-faceted collaborator has brought together the worlds of puppetry, robotics, circus arts, symphonic repertoire, and opera onstage, and recently united the classical music traditions of India and the West at the United Nations.
As Music Director of Chicago Opera Theater, Lidiya is the only woman to hold that title in a multimillion-dollar opera company in the United States. Under her leadership, COT has established the Vanguard Initiative, a three-pronged investment in new opera that includes a two-year residency for emerging opera composers. Committed to developing the next generation of artistic leaders, she also serves on the Advisory Board of Turn The Spotlight, a foundation dedicated to identifying, nurturing, and empowering leaders – and in turn, to illuminating the path to a more equitable future in the arts.
Lidiya believes that artistic programming can help shift perspectives on social issues. Her experiences as a refugee inspired her to found the Refugee Orchestra Project, which proclaims the cultural and societal relevance of refugees through music, and has brought that message to hundreds of thousands of listeners around the world. A sought-after speaker, she has led sessions at the League of American Orchestras and Opera America conferences, and recently served as U.S. Representative to the World Opera Forum in Madrid.
When the Mobile Symphony Orchestra takes the Saenger Theatre stage at month's end, a pioneer will lead them. But that's what trailblazers do, isn't it?
Now that she's running a multimillion-dollar operation, Yankovskaya directs casting, chooses the repertoire, and oversees management of the orchestra; and, of course, she conducts most of the company's productions.

The relevant data is posted on the scoreboard at the Central Election Commission's press center.
Thus, 43.13% of voters (5,945,053 votes) cast their ballot papers for the Servant of the People Party. The Opposition Platform – For Life Party was supported by 13.06% of voters (1,800,688 votes), Yulia Tymoshenko's Batkivshchyna Party by 8.18% (1,127,480 votes), Petro Poroshenko's European Solidarity by 8.12% (1,119,426 votes), and Svyatoslav Vakarchuk's Holos (Voice) Party secured 5.84% of votes (805,035).

Jaffe Asher LLP., New York, New York, for Plaintiff.
All Counsel, P.C., New York, New York, for Defendants.
In this breach of contract action, plaintiff, Alison Brod Public Relations, Inc. (ABPR) moves, pursuant to CPLR 3212, for an order granting summary judgment in its favor. The complaint sets forth the following causes of action: (1) breach of contract (first cause of action); (2) account stated (second cause of action); and (3) unjust enrichment (third cause of action).
Defendant, Duwop, LLC d/b/a Duwop Cosmetics (Duwop), opposes the motion and cross-moves, pursuant to CPLR 3025 (b), for an order granting Duwop permission to serve an amended answer with counterclaims.
Based on the reasons set forth below, the motion for summary judgment is granted and the cross motion is denied.
On January 16, 2007, the parties entered into an agreement wherein plaintiff agreed to provide public relations services by outreaching to national magazine beauty editors and celebrities on Duwop's behalf, for the purpose of promoting the Duwop cosmetic brand. Defendant, in turn, agreed to pay plaintiff for those services. According to plaintiff, as of December 1, 2008, a total of $26,860.20 remained due from Duwop for the public relations services plaintiff provided. Despite repeated requests, Duwop has failed to pay any portion of the money to plaintiff.
Pursuant to the Agreement, all invoices which are past due by more than 30 days are subject to 1.5% interest per month.
In its complaint, plaintiff seeks damages in the amount of $26,860.20 plus prejudgment interest, as well as costs and disbursements. Subsequent to the commencement of the action, Duwop made an $18,000.00 payment to plaintiff, leaving $8,860.20 still owed to plaintiff.
In order to grant summary judgment, the movant must proffer admissible evidence to make a prima facie showing of entitlement to judgment as a matter of law by producing sufficient evidence to show the absence of any material issue of fact ( Giuffrida v Citibank Corp., 100 NY2d 72, 81; Zuckerman v City of New York, 49 NY2d 557).
Once the moving party has made this showing, the burden is on the opposing party to demonstrate "evidentiary facts in admissible form sufficient to raise a genuine, triable issue of fact" ( Mazurek v Metropolitan Museum of Art, 27 AD3d 227, 228 [1st Dept 2006]; Zuckerman, 49 NY2d at 560). "If there is any doubt as to the existence of a triable issue, the motion should be denied" ( Grossman v Amalgamated Hous. Corp., Inc., 298 AD2d 224, 226 [1st Dept 2002]).
In order to establish a prima facie case on a breach of contract claim, plaintiff must show proof of a contract, performance by one party on the contract, a breach by the other party and damages as a result ( Flomenbaum v New York Univ., ___ AD3d ___, 2009 NY Slip Op 08975 [1st Dept 2009]). Where the plain language of the contract establishes obligations on the other party that have not been met, summary judgment is warranted ( Bartfield v RMTS Assocs., LLC, 283 AD2d 240 [1st Dept 2001]). Here, there is no dispute that the parties had a contract.
Plaintiff claims that it fulfilled all terms under the contract, and that defendant breached the contract by failing to make the required payments for invoices up through December 1, 2008 ( see Notice of Motion, Exs. B and C). Duwop counters, however, that plaintiff did not fully perform under the contract, in that plaintiff failed to deliver approximately $10,000 worth of jewelry gifts to editors of various publications. A review of the record reveals that, while defendant submits e-mails of the proposal for the jewelry gifts, and its expenditure on the jewelry, both of which post-date December 1, 2008, these items do not support its claims that plaintiff did not perform under the contract. Duwop offers no evidence, other than its own self-serving affidavit, that plaintiff did not perform under the contract. Duwop's offering is insufficient to defeat summary judgment on this ground.
Even if the court were to hold that summary judgment is not warranted on the breach of contract claim, summary judgment is warranted on the account stated claim. "An account stated is an agreement between the parties to an account based upon prior transactions between them with respect to the correctness of the separate items composing the account and the balance due, if any, in favor of one party or the other" ( Shea Gould v Burr, 194 AD2d 369, 370 [1st Dept 1993] [internal quotation marks and citation omitted]). The rule is that either the receipt and retention of an account, without objection within a reasonable period of time, or partial payment, gives rise to an account stated ( Morrison Cohen Singer Weinstein, LLP v Waters, 13 AD3d 51, 52 [1st Dept 2004]).
Here, while Duwop claims it objected to the itemization of the bills beginning in the fall of 2008, there is no dispute that defendant subsequently made a partial payment of $18,000.00 to plaintiff. Summary judgment is, therefore, granted in favor of plaintiff, and a money judgment in the amount of $8,860.20 together with interest, costs, expenses and disbursements is herein awarded.
In light of the foregoing, the court need not address the remainder of plaintiff's arguments and the cross motion seeking to amend the answer is denied as moot.
ORDERED that the cross motion by defendant Duwop, LLC d/b/a Duwop Cosmetics is denied.


Greenpeace East Asia has released a new IT product guide ranking tech giants according to iFixit's repairability score. Seventeen IT brands were represented in the study and over 40 best-selling smartphones, tablets and laptops launched between 2015 and 2017 were assessed.
The ranking system considers the time required to repair the product, the device's upgradability and modularity, as well as the availability of spare parts and repair manuals. A device with a perfect score is one that is relatively inexpensive to repair because it is easy to disassemble and has a service manual available. Points were docked based on the difficulty of opening the device, the types of fasteners found inside and the complexity involved in replacing major components. Points were awarded for upgradability, use of non-proprietary tools for servicing and component modularity.
It should come as no surprise then that Fairphone, Dell and HP scored top spots. According to Greenpeace's report they are the only companies that make spare parts and repair manuals available to the public.
Fairphone has distinguished itself as a leader in both ethics and sustainability with the development of its signature modular smartphones that are designed with repairability in mind and use materials that are responsibly sourced and/or recycled. The company's Fairphone and Fairphone 2 scored 10 out of 10 for their battery and display replaceability and the availability of spare parts.
Dell also received top marks for its Latitude E5270 (10/10) and XPS 13 (7/10) laptops. The tech giant uses recycled materials to create its line of laptops, desktop computers and tablets and has exceeded its 2020 goal of using 50 million pounds of sustainable materials in its products. Additionally, the company has begun using ocean plastics in its packaging and 94 percent of current Dell packaging is recyclable or compostable.
Having launched the world's first comprehensive supply chain management program based on climate science, there's no question that HP is getting serious about sustainability. The company scored high on Greenpeace and iFixit's product guide for its Elite X2 1012 G1 tablet and Elitebook 840 G3 Notebook PC, with each scoring 10 out of 10.
Apple, Samsung and Microsoft's products, on the other hand, were identified as some of the least easy to repair and upgrade.
"A number of products from Apple, Samsung and Microsoft are increasingly being designed in ways that make it difficult for users to fix, which shortens the lifespan of these devices and adds to growing stockpiles of e-waste," said Cook.
The report revealed a general sector shift away from repairability, largely due to increasing design complexity, combined with the practice of soldering or gluing separate pieces together, making repairing time consuming. Samsung and LG's smartphones and Apple's have become increasingly less repairable over time.
Nearly 70 percent of all of the devices tested had batteries that were impossible or difficult to replace due to design decisions and the use of strong adhesives to affix the battery to the casing. Samsung's Galaxy S8 smartphone and Apple's Retina MacBook exemplify this bad practice, with batteries thoroughly adhered to the device panels. While the Note7 was not considered in this analysis, Samsung might have been able to avoid recalling millions of devices if the phone's design had enabled easy battery removal.
To discourage user repair, many devices require the use of non-standard tools to work with proprietary screws and other parts. Apple's iPhone, Oppo's R9m and Huawei's P9 are just some of the devices that require special tools to conduct repairs.
Additionally, very few electronics manufacturers provide users with information about how to fix their products. Greenpeace's report revealed that out of the 17 brands represented in the survey, only three — Dell, Fairphone and HP — provide all spare parts and repair manuals.
In response to its findings, Greenpeace has called upon the IT sector to design products that can be more easily repaired or upgraded and offer adequate post-sale support. By making spare parts such as batteries, displays and other components with high failure rates available to customers for at least seven years and by promoting standards and laws that encourage product repair, brands can make repairing accessible and affordable for consumers.
Making devices that can be repaired and last longer is the most significant step that brands can take to reduce the various environmental impacts associated with electronics manufacturing — from the extraction of raw materials through to the hazardous chemicals and the large amounts of energy used in manufacturing. Devices that can be easily disassembled for repair are also easier to disassemble for reuse and recycling. Components can be used again and, if not, recycled to recover the valuable raw materials.

Ekta Kapoor: An Icon in the Making

At the age of 25, when most young people are still trying to decode the architecture of their lives, Ekta Kapoor had already been crowned the princess of primetime television. A fearless producer with risk-taking abilities, she took on the challenge of presenting an edgier way of storytelling in films like LSD, Once upon a time in Mumbai, Shor in the city and Ragini MMS and met with phenomenal success. Today, Ekta Kapoor dons many hats as she wins audiences with her work on television and in movies. Her sharp formidable style in narrating different stories to her audiences has made Ekta Kapoor one of the top contenders of India's Prime Icon, a brand new show on BIG CBS PRIME and Bloomberg TV India that aims to select the ultimate icon for the nation.
After the phenomenal success of last year's biggest hit The Dirty Picture, actress Vidya Balan was all praises for Ekta Kapoor. She said, "Hats off to Ekta for the kind of work she is doing. Every film of hers is so different and I have great admiration for her. We both started our careers together in Hum Paanch and we have come a long way…God's been kind."
Such is the aura surrounding Ekta Kapoor that adult film actress, Sunny Leone who will be seen in her next venture – Ragini MMS 2 is completely in awe of her. She said, "I think Ekta is a very bold filmmaker. I watched The Dirty Picture and was mesmerized. I just got a full narration of the story (Ragini MMS 2). I think some of the scene in the film are going to leave the entire country shell-shocked!"
But is Ekta Kapoor really as intimidating as the industry believes her to be? Ekta's brother and actor Tushar Kapoor cleared the air as he elaborated, "Ekta is such a good leader and such a hard taskmaster where her work is concerned because of her professional qualities that people don't realize her softer side. Her friendships with people, her emotional side, which is her personality outside of her work area is something people are not aware of so I think people relate her professional skills to being somebody who would be a hard taskmaster outside of work. But that's not the case. Ekta's very afraid of heights and darkness. She's afraid of helicopters. She's also constantly donating and doing things for the old. She's always donating things to the poor old women and they depend on her for small favours and Ekta keeps pampering them. I think that's a very kind gesture and that comes from her heart!"
For someone as talented and determined as Ekta, the sky really is the limit. Be the hard-nut businesswoman on the softer friend and sympathetic human being, Ekta clearly has the makings of India's Prime Icon. But will be able to beat the rest and prove her mettle?
Find out more on this beloved youth icon as she features on India's Prime Icon every Friday and Saturday at 9.30PM on BIG CBS PRIME and every Saturday at 3.30PM and Sunday at 2.30PM

Cell phone video released in deadly beating case
CROSBY, Texas (FOX 26) -
By the time the camera started recording, the fight is practically over. Johnny Hernandez is face down with Terry Thompson is on top of him and Thompson's arm around Hernandez's neck. Thompson's wife. a Harris County Sheriff's Office deputy, is pinning down Hernandez's shoulder as his legs are flailing and he's moaning.
Attorney Jack Carroll says his client shot the cell phone camera footage but wants to remain out of the investigation.
"He doesn't know what is going to happen," said Jack Carroll. "It involves the police and a highly explosive issue." He also said he has provided a copy of the video to the Harris County District Attorney's Office, but what does the video show? For much of it, there's a finger on the lens and a bystander blocking the view. It doesn't show how the fight started or ended, but Randall Kallinen, the attorney for the Hernandez family, said it does show that Deputy Shauna Thompson did not protect and serve the public.
"She is trained in force tactics," said Kallinen. "She knows this is an illegal chokehold. She's right there looking at it. She had the obligation to stop her husband from killing John Hernandez."
The incident was reported on Sunday night. Surveillance video shows a visibly-intoxicated Hernandez leaving a Denny's restaurant in east Harris County. Thompson is seen approaching Hernandez and confronting him for urinating in the parking lot. The two men fight, but there is no way to determine from the video who started it. When it was over, Hernandez was taken to a hospital and Thompson walked free.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez has called for the U.S. Department of Justice and the Texas Rangers to oversee the investigation. Activists hope the cell phone video released on Monday becomes part of it.
"We feel like the Sheriff and the District Attorney should take a second look and look at this video because I think it's the basis for an indictment," said Augiustine Pineda with LULAC.
The district attorney's office and the sheriff's office will not comment any further until the investigation is complete.

Q: How to print all values specific of a key? Trying to print all values associated a one key, for example:
Search by marcus, I'd like to return 5 lines.
Dict:
marcus {'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:33', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
fabin {'TIME': 'Mar  3 00:20:16', 'CONNECTION': 'login'}
marcus {'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:29', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
peter {'TIME': 'Mar  3 13:36:16', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
marcus {'TIME': 'Mar  3 14:28:56', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
peter {'TIME': 'Mar  3 02:17:34', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
marcus {'TIME': 'Mar  3 18:12:50', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
fabin {'TIME': 'Mar  3 22:50:15', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
peter {'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:14:16', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
marcus {'TIME': 'Mar  3 08:19:17', 'CONNECTION': 'login'}
peter {'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:16:45', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
fabin {'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:30:10', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
carl {'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:33', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}

I dont know, if it is the most simple way, but is only return the last line.
for k,v in dict.items():
 if user in k:
  print v

output: marcus {'TIME': 'Mar  3 08:19:17', 'CONNECTION': 'login'}

A: I suspect you have been adding items to a dictionary, and a dictionary can only have unique keys.  Consider:
D = {'marcus':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:33', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'fabin':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 00:20:16', 'CONNECTION': 'login'},
     'marcus':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:29', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'peter':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 13:36:16', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'marcus':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 14:28:56', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'peter':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 02:17:34', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'marcus':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 18:12:50', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'fabin':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 22:50:15', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'peter':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:14:16', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'marcus':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 08:19:17', 'CONNECTION': 'login'},
     'peter':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:16:45', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'fabin':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:30:10', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'},
     'carl':{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:33', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}}

for k,v in D.items():
    print(k,v)
    if k == 'marcus':
        print(v)

Output (matches described behavior):
{'TIME': 'Mar  3 08:19:17', 'CONNECTION': 'login'}

Though it looks like there are multiples, a dictionary is only going to keep the last entry of a unique key.  If you need multiple instances of the same name, you need a different structure.  Instead of a (suspected) dict of dicts, use a list of dicts:
L = [{'NAME':'marcus','TIME':'Mar  3 15:49:33','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'fabin','TIME':'Mar  3 00:20:16','CONNECTION':'login'},
     {'NAME':'marcus','TIME':'Mar  3 15:49:29','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'peter','TIME':'Mar  3 13:36:16','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'marcus','TIME':'Mar  3 14:28:56','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'peter','TIME':'Mar  3 02:17:34','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'marcus','TIME':'Mar  3 18:12:50','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'fabin','TIME':'Mar  3 22:50:15','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'peter','TIME':'Mar  3 15:14:16','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'marcus','TIME':'Mar  3 08:19:17','CONNECTION':'login'},
     {'NAME':'peter','TIME':'Mar  3 15:16:45','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'fabin','TIME':'Mar  3 15:30:10','CONNECTION':'logout'},
     {'NAME':'carl','TIME':'Mar  3 15:49:33','CONNECTION':'logout'}]

for d in L:
    if d['NAME'] == 'marcus':
        print(d)

Output:
{'NAME': 'marcus', 'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:33', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'NAME': 'marcus', 'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:29', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'NAME': 'marcus', 'TIME': 'Mar  3 14:28:56', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'NAME': 'marcus', 'TIME': 'Mar  3 18:12:50', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'NAME': 'marcus', 'TIME': 'Mar  3 08:19:17', 'CONNECTION': 'login'}

Another option is a dict of lists, appending each infodict in the value of the user key:
D = {'marcus':[{'TIME':'Mar  3 15:49:33','CONNECTION':'logout'},
               {'TIME':'Mar  3 15:49:29','CONNECTION':'logout'},
               {'TIME':'Mar  3 14:28:56','CONNECTION':'logout'},
               {'TIME':'Mar  3 18:12:50','CONNECTION':'logout'},
               {'TIME':'Mar  3 08:19:17','CONNECTION':'login'}],
     'fabin':[{'TIME':'Mar  3 00:20:16','CONNECTION':'login'},
              {'TIME':'Mar  3 22:50:15','CONNECTION':'logout'},
              {'TIME':'Mar  3 15:30:10','CONNECTION':'logout'}],
     'peter':[{'TIME':'Mar  3 13:36:16','CONNECTION':'logout'},
              {'TIME':'Mar  3 02:17:34','CONNECTION':'logout'},
              {'TIME':'Mar  3 15:14:16','CONNECTION':'logout'},
              {'TIME':'Mar  3 15:16:45','CONNECTION':'logout'}],
     'carl':[{'TIME':'Mar  3 15:49:33','CONNECTION':'logout'}]}

for item in D['marcus']:
    print(item)

Output:
{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:33', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'TIME': 'Mar  3 15:49:29', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'TIME': 'Mar  3 14:28:56', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'TIME': 'Mar  3 18:12:50', 'CONNECTION': 'logout'}
{'TIME': 'Mar  3 08:19:17', 'CONNECTION': 'login'}

[Interview] Houston-Based Charities Help Harvey Relief Through Concert in the Country
Over two months have passed since Hurricane Harvey ravaged the Southeastern half of Texas. Recovery efforts are ongoing, and locals have pitched in to help their neighbors return their houses to livable conditions. In the wake of this disaster, local charities Green Zone Housing and Boots for Troops have paired up with TruSouth Promotions to further aid military families affected by the hurricane.
Recently, I sat down with Mark Cook (Green Zone Housing), Jimmy Rogers (Boots for Troops), and Beau Sullivan (TruSouth Promotions) to delve into the goals of their budding charities and the work involved in putting together Concert in the Country. Listen to the full interview below.
This is the second year of Concert in the Country, what do you plan to do differently from last year?
Jimmy Rogers: Last year went so well that it's hard to want to change anything. Everything was perfect except the weather, so we did move the event up by two weeks. We also stepped up our entertainment budget from last year in an effort to put on an impressive show.
Who can we expect to see in the lineup? A surprise guest was mentioned…
Jimmy Rogers: This year we have Mark Wills coming in from Nashville. It's been years since he's played in this region, so it'll be great to see him. Josh Ward is an up-and-coming, local musician and he might be the next big thing in Texas country music. Jake Worthington from The Voice is also going to be there. I got to see him play at Dosey Doe recently. Mike Donnell, a Marine Veteran, will be opening the show and Heather Rayleen will sing the National Anthem.
What can we expect outside of live music?
Beau Sullivan: Our auctions feature celebrity signed guitars and a variety of other top-notch items. We'll have a kid's zone with a video game truck and a mechanical bull. There will be some of the best food trucks in town.
VIP tickets are already sold out; however, general admission tickets for this November 4th event are still available through Outhouse.

With the growing demand of conventional energy and majority of the households using it across the world, there should be no surprise if the resources of the earth are getting depleted on regular basis. We have been using the resources available to us for thousands of years without actually contributing anything except the harmful polluted gases in the environment.
This is really shocking and we have to look for alternative resources to meet our energy requirements. With the rising population, this need has become even more important.
Home solar energy is being researched extensively these days, which can provide the required electricity in our homes and can be a cheap alternative. This source of energy being a simple and clean source does not harm the environment also.
People are becoming more aware about Photovoltaic (PV) solar power and have gained lot of popularity in the recent years. Gone are the days when solar power was available to most rich people of the society but now any one can use it. With the advanced technology and new storage facility the initial installation cost has become quite affordable.
With the availability of the material and other component, one can build own home solar power system from scratch. It no longer is a dream now, all the material can be found at the local hardware stores located in your locality. All you need is the skill to install your own solar panels that too in no time.
After having laid the PV panels, the other connection to the power supply should be left to the professional electrician. Home solar panels work better in the homes which has high sunshine levels. The excess energy produced is stored in the special batteries that can be used during the evening and night.
To start building your home solar power system can cost you around $2000 – $5000 and in some cases even for less. This is contrary to the common belief that installing solar power in homes needs thousands of dollars. Due to this many people get discouraged which is not true. It used to be expensive but with the latest technology the prices have come down drastically.
Now once people have realized that it does not cost much, more and more people have shown interest in getting installed their own solar power system. With the advanced technology chances are that you will be producing more energy than your needs, in such cases you can sell the extra power to the power companies and earn extra money.
With installation of your own PV power system, it is expected that your monthly power bills come down drastically and in some cases it can be as high as 80% reduction. As time is very hard right now and earning money is becoming difficult with each passing day, such an installation not only meets your energy needs, it will also reduce your energy bills and at the same time you can get extra income by selling the surplus power.
The maintenance is also very inexpensive, only few dollars should be sufficient and that too occasionally. Investing in a home solar power system is a good investment as you can recover your cost in few years.

Windows XP on one third of PCs: Poll
More than a third (37 percent) of respondents to a PC Advisor poll said they continue to use Windows XP, turning their noses up at Microsoft's more recent Vista and Windows 7 operating systems.
By David Price | Jul 07, 2010
|Tech Advisor
Asked 'Which operating systems do you use?', 31.4 percent said they use XP Service Pack 3 (SP3), the most recent update to the venerable platform; the remaining 5.6 percent use SP2 or earlier. Microsoft has confirmed that it will cease actively supporting SP2 in mid-July.
Of Microsoft's newer programs, last year's Windows 7 was considerably more popular, with a 30.6 percent share.
Windows Vista, by comparison, was named by just 16.4 percent of respondents; 14.5 percent run the newest Vista SP2, while the remaining 1.9 percent are on Vista SP1 or have not installed a service pack at all.
But XP seems to be as far back as most people are willing to go. Just 1.8 percent of respondents selected 'Windows (all other versions)'.
The remaining votes were made up by Linux (7 percent), the various versions of Mac OS (6.4 percent) and 'Other' (0.8 percent).
