I had many clients and other people mention about Renee Zellweger's plastic surgery so I thought I weigh in on her results. She does look different. I think with celebrities we have in our minds a set picture of what they look like and there are many things that are related to this person which includes all of her movies. Over time people change and we see a gradual transition and we are okay with that. A sudden change presents more of a shock for people in this case.
The article discusses laser resurfacing, botox, fillers, upper eyelid lift and browlift. I think that all of those things could have been done but I don't think that she had a brow lift. An eyelift can have a major impact on someone's looks. A interesting study looked at the eye movements one makes when analyzing a new face and what we find, not surprisingly is that the iris is where we spend the most time looking at. This was pretty important in my discovery of a new theory on facial beauty. This is also the reason that if you do something to the eyes, your perception of what a person looks like will be drastically altered like it is in this case. In my expert opinion, I see that the major changes that have taken place is in the eyes and specifically an upper eyelid lift is what she had done and not much has changed. But because it was her eyes, a major impact and change was Perceived.
Dysport to the Jaw Muscles by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue Wa: This is our blog on our procedure to place dysport into the muscles of the Jaws to slim down the face. This is a really common procedure that we perform on our Asian Female Clientele and for patients with tmj issues. Below is a picture of a result that you can get with dysport in the jaw muscles. Placing the dysport in the right place is very important to get a good result. If you don't place the dyport in the muscle itself you will not get the benefits of this treatment. The first important thing about getting dysport in the jaw muscle is that the muscle will get fully weak at about 1-2 weeks. It is faster with dysport than botox, about a week. Although the muscle is the weakest 1-2 weeks after administration, the decrease in size of the muscle can take up to 3-5 months to be fully realized. We will help you in understanding this more when you come in.
Botox for the glabella, forehead and crows feet by Dr. Philip Young of Bellevue | Seattle: One thing occurs is when you treat the glabella and crows feet, you are able to raise the eyebrows. Also with the way that you put the botox in the forehead you can raise your eyebrows laterally as well. Botox for the glabella help prevent the vertical wrinkles in between the eyes from forming. Within the forehead, botox prevents the horizontal lines from happening. Botox in the crows feet, improves these lines here. Typically, the glabella takes 12-20 units, the forehead 8-20 units, and the crow's feet 12- 20 or more units. We prefer doing 20 units in the glabella, forehead and crows feet each for a total of 60 units. We have many live videos on plastic surgery and photos for you to see and a lot of information for you on our website if you would like to learn more.
Botox and Droopy Eyelid. What are some options on treatment?
Botox and Droopy Eyelid. What are some options on treatment? by Dr. Philip Young: Botox / Dysport and eyelid droopiness can be treated with drops to the eye. I typically prescribe aproclonidine or bromonidine. These drops act like epinephrine and stimulate the muscle that also elevates the eyelid called Mueller's muscle. This muscle is deeper than the levator muscle. You will have to use this until the 3-4 months it takes your muscle to come back and act normally. I have found that the levator recovers faster than most muscles.

Is Dysport available in the United States?
Dysport has been available since April of 2009. But has been used in other countries for much longer and has a proven safety record. I have been using this in my office since April of 2009 as well. General differences are that Dysport acts quicker getting max affects in around 4-5 days, while botox takes about a 1 1/2 -2 weeks. They generally last about the same time around 3-4 months. Although Dysport has been approved by the FDA to last 4 months and Botox 3 months, I feel they are about the same. Dysport seems to spread a little more and give more of a generally larger effect for each shot given than Botox.
Posted in Botox, Dysport, Botulinum | Comments Off on Is Dysport available in the United States?
I have had a few people ask me what the difference between Botox and Dysport. Botox and Dysport are very similiar, kind of Coke and Pepsi. Both of these products are meant to relax the muscle to decrease wrinkle and frown lines. They are made up of pretty much the same thing so they act fairly the same. Below is a table to quickly compare the two products.
The above video on Dysport / Botox can be found towards the bottom of the page. Just scroll down.
In my opinion, both Botox and Dysport are excellent treatments. If you trying to get rid of those lines sooner, consider Dysport since studies have shown that it only takes 2-3 days to take effect as oppose to 5-6 days for Botox. Botox has been around longer than Dysport so for some people, there might be a sense of loyalty there.
For more information, check out the link on the right side to read more on Botox and Dysport from Dr. Young.
100% agreed that you should not massage the area after botox, which I tell my patients as well.
78% said to contract your muscles to help activate the botox more. I tell my patients to contract their muscles as much as possible to help make the botox / dysport work. Doing this for 2 hours will help the uptake of the botox.
Only 30% said to limit your activity after botox. I suggest to all my patients to limit activity for the first 24 hours to avoid diffusion.
Only 29% said to avoid bending over after botox. I tell my patients to avoid bending to prevent diffusion.
Only 20% mention to avoid heat after botox. I dont have a solid opinion on this as there is not enough information to say one way or another.
Only 13% of physicians mention avoiding flying after botox. I don't tell my patients to avoid flying.
Again, the maximal effect of botox is at 2 weeks and for dysport it is a little less than a week.
Botox or a Browlift would be an excellent option to help you with your arch in your eyebrows.
Botox would be an excellent option to help you with your arch in your eyebrows. Whereever the arch is more exaggerated you can place a small amount of botox like 1-5 units to to lower the arch. It could require more than one shot over each arch depending on how the arch is shaped. I would start conservative and find the right amount for you. For a more permanent solution, you can do a brow lift in a differential way to shape the eyebrows. It could entail elevating the lower portion or lowering the arched portion.

Botox or Dysport both work equally well in decreasing the muscle mass of the jaw muscle called the masseter.
Botox or Dysport both work equally well in decreasing the muscle mass of the jaw muscle called the masseter. This procedure is very safe. I have never had any serious issues with this use. The amount of botox or dysport to use is dependent on the person because everybody has different responses and different volume of muscle. I usually tell this to people and then explain that I recommend starting at a lower dose like 15-25 units of botox for each side. Dysport requires 2.5 to 3.0 times the units of botox for equivalent dosing. Then I tell them that they can see if this adequate muscle relaxation in 2 weeks for botox and 1 week for dysport. If there is still significant muscle movement of the masseter you can elect to do more. One important point is that the muscle mass reduction lags behind the muscle movement. It takes from 3-5 months to see the maximum volume changes in the masseter muscle and then it slowly increases the mass to normal by one year. So, in short, there are some doctors that are seeing results from botox to the jaws for one year. In my experience, the mass usually comes back earlier than this but the results are more longer lasting than what can be expected with other facial muscles.

4 Vital Records
Indian Tribes Associated With This Agency[edit | edit source]
Colville (1914 only)
Kalispel
Nez Perce (after 1934)
Spokan (until 1925)
The Coeur d'Alene Agency was established in 1905 for the Coeur d'Alene and Spokan Indians which had previously been under the jurisdiction of the Colville Agency. This agency was made responsible for the Kutenai and Kalispel tribes in 1912. These tribes had reservations in Idaho and Washington, respectively. The name of the Coeur d'Alene Agency was changed to the Northern Idaho Agency in 1937.[1]
Records[edit | edit source]
The majority of records of individuals were those created by the agencies. Some records may be available to tribal members through the tribal headquarters.They were (and are) the local office of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and were charged with maintaining records of the activities of those under their responsibility. Among these records are:
Allotment records
Annuity rolls
School census and records
The 1900 federal census included population schedules for the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. The census includes the non-Indian employees of the Coeur d'Alene Agency, as well as many pages of Indian Population Schedules for the native population of the Reservation. They are recorded as District 146 in Kootenai County, Idaho.
Microfilm copies of ...Narrative and Statistical Reports... for the Coeur d'Alene Agency, 1907-1935, are included in National Archives Microcopy M1011, Roll 21[2], available in the National Archives system and in the collections of the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, beginning with their film number 1724240. Reports for some years are missing.
Annual Indian Census Rolls were taken at this agency for 1906 and from 1910 thru 1937. These rolls have been microfilmed by the National Archives as part of their Microcopy Number M595, rolls 43-45[3]. Copies of these records are also available at the National Archives, their Regional Archives, and at the Family History Library and its family history centers (their microfilm numbers 574202-574204). These census rolls are also available online at Ancestry.com's subscription web site.

Come on then, what's the absolute lairiest Wetherspoons in the country?
Like a fist fight in a pub car park, there can only be one winner
Bobby Palmer
A few days ago, the world as we know it was set ablaze by a video of a mass brawl in a rural Wetherspoons.
The culprit, The Albany Palace in Trowbridge, isn't alone: this unique brand of chain pubs have a long and glorious history as pits of depravity. Like the Mos Eisley cantina come to life, you will never find a more wretched hive of villainy than your local 'spoons – and you wouldn't have it any other way.
Here, we present to you a celebration of the most gloriously loose Wetherspoons in the UK. Vote for the lairiest below.
The Albany Palace, Trowbridge
You've seen it by now, right? The visual poetry in which around 100 punters at The Albany Bridge started beating the shit out of each other for no discernible reason. It's, in a word, beautiful.
Disco disco
This is the moment more than 100 people started fighting in Trowbridge Wetherspoons
Posted by The Tab on Monday, February 13, 2017
Tommy Arkle, who filmed the video, said: "Afterwards when I was looking at the video I realised it was a really big fight, even though it didn't feel like that at the time.
"I've seen fights before but definitely not to that extent."
The Asparagus, Battersea
"Ah, the Asparagus, that sounds like a nice pub," you think as you stroll up Battersea High Street. After all, a more middle class name for a spoons there has never been.
But by the way you have to pick your way around the vomit as you stroll past every Saturday and Sunday morning, you know it's all a lie.
The Bridge House, Belfast
If you want to see sad fat Irish men with dubious facial scars drunk before midday, then you're in luck! The Bridge House in Belfast is your mecca.
There's no atmosphere other than "keep your fucking head down" – you don't need music when all you can hear is hoarse screaming in Belfast accents. The bar staff stare straight ahead, dead-eyed and unseeing. You drink there when you're skint before going out out, but only before darkness falls. Then you fucking run, and even the round the clock bouncers look at you enviously when you leave.
You're not supposed to wear football tops in there, which seems excessive, but I once saw a group of blokes (Poland and Northern Ireland fans respectively) knocking the fuck out of each other on the street outside the bar so maybe that's justified. Here's how lairy The Bridge House is: I asked my dad, the only person I ever met who likes drinking in it, to describe why he'd call it his treasured local.
His text back said: "It's a fucking dive. It's full of cunts. Smells like vomit. I wouldn't piss on the carpet."
And he's one of the nice customers.
The Crockerton, Cardiff
Ever wanted to bump into every single person you went to high school with? Head to The Crockerton. By day it's your standard spoons but by night it's a sweaty, packed out club.
Everyone you see is holding at least two pitchers and fully bypassing a glass in favour of straws. By the time midnight hits you're either pulling or you're fighting with a stray member of a hen party. There's no in between.
The Diamond Tap, Newbury
The DT isn't particularly lairy Monday-Thursday. Come Friday however when Pitbull and Skepta drop it's a fucking madhouse. With the VKs selling out basically every weekend, the mix of hyper teens and older locals looking for a wild night out can only be bad news.
The Golden Bee, Stratford-upon-Avon
Stratford-upon-Avon isn't what most would view as traditionally lairy. Aside from the piss-soaked-regulars frittering away their pension on Ruddles and a few High School kids in with a cut passport and communal driver's license, there's not a lot going on.
But consider the potential violence contained in Roger's ham fist, the soon-to-boil-over pubescent rage filling the Year 13 trying to learn how to use the fruity. Imagine them coming together. All the regional xenophobia and repressed sexuality exploding in one beautiful frenzied expression. That would be lairy.
The Great Central, Fallowfield
A man in a bike helmet once tried to fight me in here. That is all.
The Hope & Champion, Beaconsfield
It's a Wetherspoons, in a motorway service station, and that's just something that was allowed to happen.
The Last Post, Loughton
Didn't get into Nu Bar? Not got the right shoes on for Luxe? No bother. There's always the Last Post.
Sure there's paintings on the walls and old people in every corner, but this place gets loose. It's smaller, allowing more room for the kids who didn't like each other at school to elbow their pint out of their hand on the way past.
Lloyds Bar, Nottingham
Bouncers from 2pm gives you a solid indication that this is actually a spoons. All Lloyds bars are owned by Wetherspoons, but this one is more like the pub than others and mainly for its clientele. More people are kicked out than are queueing up by 10pm, after all.
The Lord High Constable of England, Gloucester
Despite its lofty-sounding name and its relative newness (it opened in 2015), The Lord High Constable of England at Gloucester Docks is as rough-and-ready as they come.
Take this story from Gloucestershire Live, for example, which tells of late-night revellers drinking, fighting and, yes, throwing bottles of beer at boats – which is probably the most dockside Wetherspoons thing to have ever taken place, ever.
The Narrows, Abingdon
Abingdon is known for being a quaint little town full of extortionately priced pubs – we're talking £5-a-pint on average. But there remains one beacon of hope for cheap boozing – the Narrows.
As the only affordable place in the entire town, it's naturally the lairiest with the masses flocking for endless Jagerbombs, dragging Abingdon's precious reputation to the ground. There's even a one-in-one-out system on Christmas Eve – an unheard of phenomenon in Abingdon until the Narrows was born.
A normal night can swiftly descend into a messy one as the clientele is a mixture of deranged locals and everyone you went to school with, meaning a renaissance of year 11 beef can be expected on each visit.
The Prince of Wales, Cardiff
Right, yeah, there's this game, yeah, called rugby and which basically at it's core, right, is just fat dads running into each other.
So when these two teams called England and Wales play each other at "rugby," all the dads in the vicinity that weren't good enough to be in the starting XV, they go to the Prince of Wales and run into each other there.
The Rodboro Buildings, Guildford
First thing to note, literally no one calls it the Rodboro buildings. It's spoons, it's lairy and it's opposite that troubling traffic island where girls from Casino hand you flyers like you have a choice of where you'll end up.
Spoons in Guildford will always guarantee you a few key experiences. 1. You will go there at Christmas and see everyone you avoided at school 2. There will be a hen party aggressively pre-drinking before Flares 3. You will do shots 4. You will see a lot of people vaping in the smoking area. 4. You will leave as soon as you can.
Sawyers Arms, Maesteg
It's actually quite nice for a spoons but that's what you'd expect when it only arrived in 2015. Whether you're in need for somewhere to carry on you pre-drinks before the sesh or just a cheeky catch up with the girls, it's a fairly decent place to go. The bar is big enough and has enough bar staff to make sure you're not waiting there for hours, even on a bank holiday.
One of the downsides though is the probability of seeing your boyfriends' ex girlfriend and all of her friends or someone that you kind of hate, the joy of living in a small village. After you do, one of two things will probably happen: someone will kick off, or you will do your very best to avoid all of them (only after your best friend tells you it's not worth it).
But at least you can go and hide out in the toilets and take selfies in the wonderful outfit length mirror they've supplied us.
The Square Peg, Birmingham
The owner of the longest bar in Europe until a few years ago (unless that's as much of a bullshit urban myth as it sounds), the Figure of Eight is home to some… interesting characters.
Seriously, you're not a real Brummie unless you've had a chat with one of the punters propping up the bar in there at 10am. One once lifted up his shirt and showed me a scar running all the way down his torso. He claimed it was from when he got into a fight with his neighbour's cat.
The Tally Ho, Finchley
The Tally Ho can't really be that lairy with such a posh twat name, but it's lowkey lairy tbh. You can't move for 18-year-olds and shit eyebrows in the smoking area, and the night is always perfectly seasoned with the smell of piss from that one guy who's always drinking Strongbow and can't blow his nose properly.
You've got to get there before 8pm on Christmas eve to even get the slightest chance to get in before the one-in-one-out system, and there'll inevitably be a fight between those two guys who always beefed in secondary school and clearly aren't over it.
The Tumble Inn, Pontypridd
What's more regional Welsh spoons than an all-out brawl between the pub's bouncers and the local rugby team?
That's what happened at The Tumble Inn, where three Pontypridd players were prosecuted for fighting with the door staff after one was escorted out for his "behaviour on the dancefloor."
"The prosecution can see how matters in that short space of time in that confined space quickly became out of control," the prosecutor explained in court. "They are all rugby players and well-built and big men, as are the door staff."
Wetherspoons, Leeds
So bad it didn't even get its own name, the Wetherspoons in Leeds train station is everything grey, bleak and angry that the brand has come to represent. Lacking any of the cheap and cheerful charm of Beckett's Bank or the Cuthbert Broderick in the town centre, the station spoons is a soulless haunt filled with missed trains and crushed dreams.
Your friends whisper it's "the most violent spoons in the country," even though they have absolutely no evidence to suggest so. Still, puffing a cigarette on the miserable "terrace" while hen parties wail and footie fans scream, it's not hard to see red.
The Wyndham Arms, Bridgend
Stereotypically linked to the elder generation who like to drink, smoke and socialise all day and all night, I'd say that the Wyndham Arms does pull a decent crowd on an average Friday/Saturday night out in Bridgend – even if you do have to walk past them and a massive cloud of smoke to get to the front door.
With drinks being at decent prices, it's one of the go-to places if you're in need of somewhere to get the gang together before you move on to the slightly better clubs around. But if you're unfortunate and the first to arrive and don't bag one of the very few booths at the back of the pub, everyone else that's coming along will not let you live it down for the rest of the night.

In this seminal addition to the wine canon, noted experts Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay share everything they've learned in their decades of tasting wine. The result is the most in-depth study of the world's greatest wine regions ever published. There are books that describe the geography of wine regions. And there are books that describe the way basic wines and grapes should taste. But there are no books that describe the intricacies of the way wines from various subregions, soils, and appellations should taste. Now, for the first time ever, you can learn about the differences between wines from the 7 grand crus and 40 premier crus of Chablis, or the terroirs in Barolo, Champagne, and Bordeaux. Paying attention to styles, winemakers, soils, and the most cutting-edge of trends, this book explains how to understand the wines of the world not in the classical way, but in the modern way--appellation by appellation, soil by soil, technique by technique--making it an essential reference and instant classic.
RAJAT PARR is the wine director of the 17-restaurant Mina Group, which includes properties in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, and Washington, DC. His program at the flagship restaurant in San Francisco holds a Wine Spectator Grand Award. He is also the cofounder of the wine labels Domaine de la Cote, Sandhi, and Evening Land Vineyards. JORDAN MACKAY is a James Beard Award-winning writer who lives in Napa Valley and travels extensively, speaking and writing about wine, spirits, and food. His work has appeared in Food & Wine, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, San Francisco Chronicle, Decanter, the Art of Eating, Wine & Spirits, and many others. He is the author of Passion for Pinot and coauthor of James Beard Award-winner Secrets of the Sommeliers (also with Rajat Parr), Two in the Kitchen (with Christie Dufault), New York Times bestseller Franklin Barbecue (with Aaron Franklin), and Knife (with John Tesar).
"This is the sort of thought-provoking book that I will return to again and again."
"This book is both the wine novice's and expert's dream, packed full of everything you need to know about the word's best wine. Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay break down what makes each one special and unique, and what to look for when it comes to awakening your palate. All that's left to do is open a bottle you've never tried before and explore the possiblities."
"The Sommelier's Atlas of Taste is an essential exploration of what makes the world's great regions, producers, and wines delicously compelling, and why. Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay relentlessly examine geographical and geological differences, cultural shifts, and producer philosophies through the lens of taste. This book charts their glorious adventures, taking the reader with them into the cellars and vineyards of the most famous producers, and provides rare access and a best-of guide through thoughtful conversations and breathtaking photographs."
"A fascinating voyage of wine discovery...Rajat Parr-an iconic sommeleir turned cult wine producer with an exceptional tasting ability and superb understanding of the major wine regions- and coauthor Jordan Mackay are well placed to discuss the complex topics of taste and terroir...A wonderful book that should be included in the book collections of any serious wine lover or wine professional."
"It's a comprehensive book that's perfect for any oenophile--or anybody wanting to become one."
"...a fascinating look at a world of after-hours tastings and tenacious debates, at the wines that many sommeliers care most about, and at restaurant service from an insider's view. We meet many unusual and charismatic personalities, not least of whom is Mr. Parr... in the tradition of the best sommeliers, useful lessons and tips are conveyed painlessly and entertainingly."
"Parr and Jordan open a window onto the workings of a great sommeliers mind. . . .The result is part history lesson, part insider'sguide to the best producers and best buys, but, most of all, it's a testament to all the hard work that goes into being a greatsommelier."
"If the key to understanding great wine is to drink it as often as possible, The Sommelier's Atlas of Taste comes in a close second. Rajat Parr and Jordan Mackay have jeroboams of experience when it comes to growing, selling, and deciphering the planet's most extraordinary bottles, and this book offers two things that others rarely include: genuine insight and good taste."

You ask me if it really happened that way. If it was really like that. Don't we all live in our own reality? In V.'s mind, no provision had been made for me to tag along; he'd imagined picking a trinket up along the way, hailing a cab, and that would be the end of that. He hadn't anticipated that I'd come along for the walk, and then for the taxi ride, babbling as we hurried down the street because I felt happier than I'd felt in a long time—loved, even. In the taxi I grew silent; I stared out the window, trying to commit to memory the cars and trucks and storefronts and endless people blurring by like a smeared painting. I sank down in my seat and leaned into him. He wanted me to sit upright, to keep a distance—I could sense that—but as often happens when I register information too jarring to process, too contradictory to my emotional needs, I packed it away and saved it for a later time. For V., no doubt, it was all too much, too many conflicting states: the reality of the hotel room, and now the far more urgent reality of heading home. This was not his usual way of operating. I was leaning into a man I longed to lean into, leaning into him as though he could hold me up somehow. But he was already negotiating the leap back into his life; he would soon make a clean break and let me fall.
Its elegantly articulated lines, with a hint of casual confidence, caught the eye of personalities ranging from the Duke of Windsor to Marcello Mastroianni. I wonder if you're making any progress on your translation. You've taken an absurd amount of time to render a mediocre advertising text into German; your sense of self-respect requires that you improve it, your intellect that you verify its claims, your business acumen that you analyze the degree to which the language speaks to its target group, your experience in international finance to assess future prospects and risks. You have immersed yourself in the world of luxury shoes, where the words "insolent" and "audacious" evoke the theatrics of the boardroom, of big money. You are incubating, preparing yourself for reentering the professional world: creative and bold, perennially in vogue, the superlative reference in … But will it change you, turn you into one of them? You once told me that you thought you were being punished in advance for some wrong you would have inevitably committed, had you continued in what you were doing. There are ethical repercussions to everything, but they are considered irrelevant if they do not impact the home team: repercussions of trade negotiations, of pharmaceutical research, of moving other people's money around, of eating meat. I read about the development of weapons robots the other day; horrified to the very fabric of her soul, a Nobel laureate had spoken out against them, but then a researcher proceeded to turn her argument around, stressing the need to implement technology to help combatants abide by the "ethical" rules of war. When putting an innovation into practice, given a choice between the most beneficial application to mankind and the most destructive, humanity invariably chooses the most destructive. But although history has demonstrated this, the ongoing idiocy of "positive thinking" is still, bafflingly, not yet apparent to all.

Q: Determine passkey supported devices/browsers visiting my website I am trying to log the support for Webauthn and Passkeys of the devices/browsers visiting my webapp.
I am checking webauthn support this way:
window.PublicKeyCredential?.isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable().then((e: boolean)=> e)

and determining Passkey support by verifying support for Conditional UI this way:
  if(typeof window.PublicKeyCredential.isConditionalMediationAvailable === "function") {
    return window.PublicKeyCredential?.isConditionalMediationAvailable().then( (e: boolean) => e )
  }

I believe that, in order to support passkeys, the browser or device has to support webauthn.
What is interesting is I do find a small subset of logs where
webauthn support for that device is false, however, isConditionalMediationAvailable support has evaluated to true.
This subset of devices seem to be coming in from the following User-Agents:
Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/109.0.1518.61

How is this possible? Is my understanding correct?

A: isUVPAA represents the local platform authenticator.
isConditionalMediationAvailable represents the browser's autofill capability for passkeys.
This doesn't completely represent whether passkeys can be used, but they're two important features for the passkey experience. So if they both return true, both autofill and the local platform authenticator can be used for passkeys.
There are some cases which this does not cover, such as a lack of local platform authenticator but support for the Cross Device Authentication (CDA) flow (e.g. using a passkey from a phone or tablet).

A stunning example of the sought-after Aston Martin DB5, as driven by James Bond, is coming up for sale via Silverstone Auctions during the NEC Classic Motor Show on November 15 and 16.
The 1965 example is even in the same Silver Birch paintwork as Bond's DB5, and has been estimated at between £280,000 and £310,000. It has matching engine and chassis numbers and is an original right-hand drive model.
The car spent much of its life in Australia before returning to the UK in 2012. It has since been treated to an exterior restoration, refreshing the paintwork, and also a detailed mechanical refurbishment. The black leather interior has also been refurbished.
It comes with an in-depth history file which includes invoices from various marque specialists, as well as images showing various aspects of the work undertaken on the car.

Nathan Dyer – The former player turned agent of new Leeds United signing Daniel James
It was not the first time that Daniel James arrived at Elland Road with the intention of sealing a transfer to Leeds United on the transfer deadline day.
The Welsh forward was infamously minutes away from signing for the East Yorkshire outfit back in 2019, but paperwork trouble meant that the deal was off – and he was officially unveiled in Man Utd colours next summer.
But fortunately for both James and Leeds United, nothing remotely of that sort happened on Tuesday – as James completed a £30m switch from Man Utd. And along with the final outcome, there was one more difference that fans noticed in between the two situations.
While it was Jonathan Barnett who was alongside James in his failed bid to join Leeds in the winter transfer window of 2019, a familiar footballing face accompanied James this time around. James' new agent is none other than former Swansea City and Leicester City winger Nathan Dyer, a former champion of England and a League Cup winner.
Dyer made a name for himself in his time with the Swans, as he spent eleven years at the Liberty Stadium and helped them get to the top flight – while also being a part of the Foxes' Premier League winning crop on loan.
Dyer made more than 300 appearances for the Welsh outfit before deciding to call it a day. Dyer, still only 33, announced his retirement from the sport last year – having last played a game for Swansea before the first lockdown was imposed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
But since hanging up his boots a year ago, Dyer has traded his football kit for a suit, a shirt, and a tie – and now works as an agent for ICM Stellar Sports, as he was seen representing his former teammate James at Elland Road yesterday.
Football fans online were both pleased and surprised to see the retired winger represent a fresh winger, as the 23-year-old James will hope to replicate his agent's longevity and honours list.

Um sharpshooter (atirador preciso em tradução literal) é a denominação  de um especialista em disparar armas de fogo (ou outras armas que disparem projéteis), com precisão. Unidades militares compostas por sharpshooters tiveram atuações importantes nos combates do século XIX. Em termos militares, um sharpshooter está acima de um "marksman" e abaixo de um "expert", e essas três são as categorias que recebem emblemas de atirador concedidos pelo Exército dos EUA.

Histórico

Guerras Napoleônicas (1803–1815)
Os sharpshooters foram utilizados no exército britânico durante as Guerras Napoleônicas. Enquanto a maioria das tropas da época usava mosquetes com canos de alma lisa, bastante imprecisos, os "Green Jackets" (devido a seus uniformes verdes diferenciados), usavam o famoso rifle Baker. Através da combinação de um chumaço de couro (entre  a bala e a pólvora) e ranhuras no interior do cano (estriamento), essa arma era muito mais precisa, embora o processo de carregamento fosse mais lento.

Guerra Civil Americana (1861–1865)
Durante a Guerra Civil Americana, os sharpshooters viram ação limitada, pois os estrategistas tentavam evitar as baixas pesadas infligidas por táticas normais, que envolviam fileiras estreitas de homens a curta distância. Os sharpshooters usados pelos dois lados na Guerra Civil foram mais usados como guerrilheiros e batedores. Essas unidades de elite estavam bem equipadas e treinadas, e eram colocadas na linha de frente para um primeiro engajamento com o inimigo.

Exército da União
Unidades notáveis de sharpshooters da Guerra Civil incluíram o 1st e o 2nd United States Volunteer Sharpshooter Regiment (USVSR), compostos por Companhias de vários Estados da União (principalmente do Leste). Os U.S.V.S.R. foram organizados pelo Coronel Hiram Berdan, um milionário que tinha a reputação de ser o melhor atirador do país na época. Existia uma Companhia de sharpshooters no Exército do Potomac, composta apenas por nativos americanos. Esse homens, primordialmente das tribos: Odawa, Ojibwe e Potawatomi do Norte do Michigan, constituíam a Companhia "K" do 1st Regiment Michigan Volunteer Sharpshooters.

Exército Confederado
No lado confederado, as unidades de sharpshooters funcionavam como infantaria leve. Seus deveres incluíam escaramuças e reconhecimento. Robert E. Rodes, coronel do 5º Regimento de Infantaria do Alabama, e mais tarde um grande general, foi líder no desenvolvimento de unidades de atiradores de elite.
O Exército dos Estados Confederados fez uso mais amplo de atiradores de precisão do que o Exército da União, com destacamentos semipermanentes ao nível de regimentos e batalhões de vários tamanhos ligados a formações maiores. As unidades dedicadas de atiradores incluíam o 1st Georgia Sharpshooter Battalion e mais três desse Estado, o 9th (Pindall's) Battalion Missouri Sharpshooters, bem como os batalhões de sharpshooters do Exército da Virgínia do Norte. Os sharpshooters Confederados estavam menos bem equipados que seus adversários. Em geral usavam o mosquete estriado Enfield, ou o menos comum Rifle Whitworth britânico de cano hexagonal.

RMR has several states to try your luck hunting gobblers.
If you are looking for great Rio Grande Turkey hunting, you need to look to Texas. We take several groups a year to Texas for Turkey and Hog hunts. These hunts start the end of March and run through April. There is a two bir d limit here.
Kansas and Nebraska are the states where we chase the Eastern Turkeys and the population of long beards is large and you can shoot two-three birds in these areas as well. The best time to hunt Kansas is from the first of April to the middle of May.
New Mexico is our choice for hunting Merriam Turkeys and it is also a two bird state. We hunt the last part of April in New Mexico and into the first week of May. Very limited openings in NM. We also have a few spots in Colorado that we offer on a limited basis. Mid April through the end of May in Colorado.
If you want your grand slam, call us. We have taken Osceola birds in Florida and Goulds in Old Mexico and can set you up with the right guides to finish off your slam.


What Would Happen If Trump Fired Rosenstein?
President Trump shakes hands with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein after a roundtable on immigration policy on May 23 at Morrelly Homeland Security Center in Bethpage, New York.
UPDATE (Sept. 24, 2018, 2:16 p.m.): Axios reported Monday morning that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had resigned to White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. But Rosenstein has remained in his position — at least for now. The White House issued a statement saying that President Trump will meet with Rosenstein on Thursday. In May, we published this article discussing what Trump's hypothetical firing of Rosenstein could mean for Robert Mueller's probe into interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
President Trump has never had a particularly friendly attitude toward the Department of Justice. But his attacks on the nation's chief law enforcement agency have escalated in recent months, culminating in a demand — by tweet — for an investigation into whether the FBI engaged in politically motivated surveillance of his 2016 presidential campaign. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein quickly assented (sort of), to the dismay of critics who say that Trump is trying to weaken the department's historic independence in an attempt to interfere with special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation. Some even speculated that the order could strengthen the obstruction of justice case against Trump — especially if he uses it as a pretext to fire Rosenstein, who is overseeing Mueller's probe and has been the subject of veiled threats from the president for months.
What would happen if Trump were to give Rosenstein the boot? Dismissing him would be a more obvious attempt to control the outcome of Mueller's investigation than insisting on a separate probe of the FBI. But even in the case of a hypothetical Rosenstein firing, there isn't a clear line between the president's legitimate authority over law enforcement agencies and criminal interference in an ongoing investigation. Dismissing the deputy attorney general would be a political bombshell, but the extent of the legal fallout would depend largely on what the president did next.
The specter of obstruction of justice has been hanging over Trump's interactions with the Department of Justice since last year, when Rosenstein appointed Mueller to investigate interference in the 2016 election. In addition to exploring the possibility that Trump's campaign was involved in the Russians' meddling, Mueller has reportedly been looking into whether the president interfered with the probe, most notably by firing FBI Director James Comey last May.
Unlike with Comey, though, Trump does not have the legal authority to dismiss Mueller directly, according to most legal experts (and despite the White House's assertion to the contrary). Thanks to Attorney General Jeff Sessions's recusal from the Russia investigation, Rosenstein is the one person who can fire Mueller. But Rosenstein needs a reason to do so, such as misconduct or a conflict of interest, and he has signaled that he sees no such justification.
Trump does have the authority to fire members of his administration, including Rosenstein. In some sense, dismissing Rosenstein could be seen as just the latest in a series of attention-grabbing terminations of senior administration officials. The firing might be politically unwise, but it wouldn't be legally suspect.
Trump could add fuel to the obstruction of justice fire, though, if he subsequently used Rosenstein's ouster to intimidate Mueller or attempt to influence the Russia investigation, according to legal experts. There are several ways this could play out. One is that Trump might pressure Rosenstein's replacement to curtail the Russia investigation. (Solicitor General Noel Francisco is next in line at the Justice Department.) Trump could tell Francisco, for example, to stop Mueller from pursuing any avenue of inquiry that involves Trump's financial records or other sensitive topics, or he could order him to fire Mueller and either allow the investigation to continue with a replacement (or without a special counsel at all) or shut it down entirely.
If that's not something Francisco is willing to do, Trump could try another tack: appointing an acting deputy attorney general who would fill the vacancy created by Rosenstein's removal. But this could spark a legal showdown, since it's not clear whether this person would actually be in charge of the Russia investigation until being confirmed by the Senate. Trump could theoretically move someone previously confirmed by the Senate into Rosenstein's position until a permanent replacement could be confirmed, but this would also likely end up in court because the law that allows this intra-agency reshuffling may not apply to people the president has fired.
Rosenzweig added, though, that even if Rosenstein's firing is a prelude to ending Mueller's investigation, the probe could be harder to stop than Trump anticipates. The raid in April on the office of presidential lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen was conducted by prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, rather than Mueller's investigators, and Mueller also worked with former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman on the case against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, which means that these lines of inquiry — and perhaps others — could be continued without Mueller.
Whatever Trump's intention, it's unlikely that ousting Rosenstein would make it easier for Trump to rein in the investigations surrounding him. And if the firing appears to have been motivated by a desire to impede the investigation, it could end up multiplying the president's legal troubles.

Can the Stock Market Ever Go Down?
Although all three benchmark US stock indices retreated minimally on Friday, last week was another record setting week for the markets. Since July 7th, Emini Nasdaq 100 futures did not have a single down day, until Friday. Along with the Emini S&P 500 futures, this marked an awe-inspiring consecutive 10-day winning streak for the two index futures.
According to data from FactSet, this impressive day-after-day market climb hasn't happened since February 24th, 2015. Thursday marked the Nasdaq's 41st record high of 2017. The Nasdaq made a fresh new all-time high at $5,932.61 and the S&P 500 went into uncharted territory to print as high as $2,477.62.
Analysts attributed Friday's very minor decline to profit taking. Stocks have had an incredible run and have broken more records this year than in the past decade, so minor declines seemed appropriate at some point. All three market indices closed well within 1% of their respective records on Friday.
Referring to the minor sell-off on Friday, Bruce Bittles, the chief investment strategist at RW Baird & Co., noted how "we had a nice build up in the market with the S&P 500 hitting a record and the market typically does not go up in a straight line." Or does it? Stocks didn't exactly crash down on Friday. Compared to the amount of gains in the market last week, Friday's decline is a drop in the bucket.
"When you see 10 straight days of gains, you can expect a little pullback in the short term, but the breadth we saw in the Nasdaq over the rally speaks very well for what can happen down the road," said Wayne Kaufman, chief market analyst at Phoenix Financial Services.
Much of last week's market gains were driven by upbeat earnings reports, positive economic data, and weakness in the US dollar.
Technology giants Microsoft and Apple, trading under ticker symbols, MSFT and AAPL, respectively, contributed to much of the Nasdaq and S&P 10-day winning streak. Microsoft hit a new all-time of high $74.30 on Thursday when it released earnings showing larger than expected cloud computing demand. Most of the gains were given up on Friday, however.
On the currency front, continuing weakness in the US dollar was not only a boon for US stocks, because they became cheaper for foreign buyers, but the weak dollar also helped everyone's favorite precious metal – gold.
Gold logged its highest settlement in over a month as it rose $9.40 to settle at $1,254.90 per ounce on Friday. This is the highest settlement for the yellow metal since June 23rd. When included with last week's rally of 1.5%, this is an impressive winning streak for gold. Besides the weakening dollar and the possibility of a slower than expected rate hike schedule, lingering political uncertainty in the Trump administration helped gold settle higher as well.
What the market has in store for the rest of this week is anyone's guess. After making new all-time high after all-time high, will it ever stop? The answer is unknown, but what doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon is the fundamental thesis to own best precious metal in the world.
Since 1975, Blanchard has successfully helped over 450,000 clients invest wisely in precious metals and rare coins. As always, our team of experts are here to help you make the right decisions and capitalize on opportunities in the precious metals market.

JavArt launches Office Survivors - The Revenge of the Boss
"Kill your stress, not your boss."
Sicily-based mobile games developer JavArt has announced the release of Office Survivors, a satirical office-based platformer for everyone who's ever had the misfortune of being at the receiving end of an employer's wrath.
Set amidst the chaos of a modern office, players step into the role of a weary employee who has been designated an impossible task by the executive management, the failure of which will result in instant dismissal from the job.
Moving through the busy corridors, gamers will need to avoid angry middle-management, unstoppable manic delivery boys, lethal vending machines, crazed computer hardware and fierce fire extinguishers.
Tasked with finding a range of essential documents pertaining to mission F1R3D, players must gather information and delegate as much work as possible before the big meeting with the boss, if a sacking is to be averted.
Available this month for a large range of Java-enabled handsets, Office Survivors is the latest in JavArt's growing portfolio of mobile games designed, created and developed in-house. The company creates its titles to be compatible with a broad selection of wireless devices, working on Java, BREW, I-Mode, Flash and Symbian games and applications. JavArt products are distributed globally through partnerships with major mobile operators.


LAHORE: (APP) National Transmission and Dispatch Company (NTDC) will increase its capacity up to 24624 MVA (mega volt ampere) on its 18 grids stations of 500KVA and 33873MVA on 50 grid stations of 220KVA by year 2018.
Briefing media here at WAPDA House on Tuesday, the Company Managing Director Dr. Fiaz Chaudhry added that transmission lines' length would reach up to 7127 kilometers and 10129 kilometers among 500KVA and 220KVA grids respectively till 2018. While, 25 more power projects would be connected to the NTDC system during this period, he mentioned.
To a question about recent power breakdown and tripping of grids, he said that it was not default on the part of NTDC as dense fog caused the tripping, asserting that in many cases, there was tripping of 132KV grids which overloaded the entire transmission system including 220KVA grids of NTDC and this phenomena led to tripping of protection system.
He clarified that this time also, 132KVA grids tripped at first that resulted in power breakout, adding that environmental affects including mist and smog also reduced insulation/protection level on grids and led to tripping of power supply.
NTDC Managing Director stressed the need for controlling environmental pollution, asserting that existence of brick kilns and thick smoke-emitting factories in southern Punjab also affecting electricity transmission lines/conductors, tower and insulators.
Dr. Fiaz Chaudhry added that there was also dire need of increasing maintenance practices, expert workforce, and use of better instruments so as to avoid tripping and low voltage problems .
To another question, he hoped that problem of power breakdown would be resolved by next year. While, a total of 5000MW generation from power projects being installed at Bhikhhi, Balloki, Sahiwal and Haveli Bahadur Shah would be added into the system, he maintained.
Responding to a query, NTDC Managing Director said that the company had completed transmission lines projects to connect Bhikhhi Combined Cycle Power Plant and Sahiwal Coal-fired Power Plant to the national grid.

Q: How to use unbase64 function in pyspark SQL query? I cannot seem to figure out why unbase64 function won't work in my Spark SQL query.
Here is an example.  I'm trying to decode "VGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Qh" by calling the unbase64 function within the spark SQL.  Any thoughts on why the output doesn't get decoded?  Thanks.
from pyspark import SparkContext
from pyspark.sql import SQLContext
from pyspark.sql.functions import unbase64

sc = SparkContext("local", "Simple App")

sqlContext = SQLContext(sc)

log = [{"eventTime":"2015-12-14 15:27:00","id":"9ab0135f-b8a3-4312-9065-9f8874fd790c","fullLog":"VGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Qh"}]

df = sqlContext.createDataFrame(log)

df.registerTempTable('data')

query = sqlContext.sql('SELECT unbase64(fullLog) as test FROM data')

query.write.save("output", format="json")

The output is : {"test":"VGhpcyBpcyBhIHRlc3Qh"} when I want it to be: {"test":"This is a test!"}

Case against Hinkley Point nuclear development gets stronger after yet another critical report. The more entertaining stuff is in director Richard Black's blog. He describes Britain's first new nuclear plant in a generation as: "A giant Godzilla that will either crush all before it or collapse under its own weight." The latter is much the more likely outcome. But you can see his point.
Independent 26th Aug 2016 read more »
Richard Black: [Hinkley is] also something of a mirage; and when you escape its unreality field, interesting things are happening. Stereotypically, enthusiasm for renewable energy is the domain of tree-hugging greenies who know and care little for niceties such as keeping the lights on so long as the sanctity of Mother Earth remains unviolated. Real men do not do renewables. It's amazing how long stereotypes persist past the point where they have lost all basis in fact. Energy academics and investment banks have understood for years that renewables-based systems are becoming the logic-based choice, given not only climate change but also simply cost. Seventy-five percent of bosses asked in a survey think Britain should build more [renewables]. Even solar power, treated with huge scepticism in government ever since the late Professor David Mackay told ministers that it could not amount to a row of beans – garnered a huge thumbs-up. The second big news of last week came from National Grid, which admitted its complete failure to predict the rapid advent of small-scale renewables. Four years ago it estimated that 0.5 gigawatts would be installed by 2021. Already, the total is 11GW – and 13GW more is now considered likely. That's an under-estimate by a factor of nearly 50. Accordingly, Grid has now slashed its forecast for the building of big block power stations by more than 50%.
ECIU 22nd Aug 2016 read more »
The UK can meet its energy and climate change targets without building the controversial new Hinkley Point C nuclear power station, a new report has found. ECIU director Richard Black said the report – Hinkley What If? – shows the nuclear plant "is not essential". He said: "Despite years of debate on Hinkley, we're still not sure whether or not it's going to get built – the Prime Minister is due to make a decision next month, but even if she says 'yes' there are many other issues that could derail the project, including legal cases and EDF's financial woes. "So we wanted to know how essential Hinkley is for the 'energy trilemma' – keeping the lights on whilst cutting greenhouse gas emissions and keeping costs down. "Our conclusion is that it's not essential; using tried and tested technologies, with nothing unproven or futuristic, Britain can meet all its targets and do so at lower costs" The report found that building an extra four big wind farms on top of those scheduled to be constructed could bring as much electricity into the grid as Hinkley. Using electricity more efficiently and productively could negate the need for at least two-fifths of Hinkley's electricity, the report also found.

Daily Mail 26th Aug 2016 read more »
The report's findings received the backing of North Star Solar CEO – and until recently RWE npower chief – Paul Massara, who, not for the first time, argued Hinkley was the wrong solution for meeting the UK's future energy needs. In view of the costs and "unproven, outmoded technology" involved, pressing ahead with Hinkley would be "madness", he suggested in a statement. "Listen to any informed energy market insider, and they will tell you that future grids will be smart, decentralised, flexible, and dominated by a mix of renewable energy, demand-side and energy efficiency measures, and storage," said Massara. "If that's the case, then the question is very simple: what's Hinkley for?" However, a spokesman for EDF said the scenarios outlined in ECIU's report were "not credible alternatives" to Hinkley, the costs for which he said were competitive. "Wind, gas, interconnection, energy storage, demand side response, efficiency measures and large scale nuclear generation will all be part of the ideal future energy mix for the UK," the EDF spokesman said. "We must get the engineering and the economics right. The scenarios outlined in the ECIU report are not credible alternatives to Hinkley Point C. HPC's cost is competitive with other large-scale low carbon technologies. It will generate electricity steadily even on foggy and still winter days across Northern Europe. It will play a crucial role as part of a future, flexible energy system."

Scrapping plans for the proposed new nuclear plant at Hinkley Point and focusing on other projects could save the taxpayer £1bn a year, according to a new report from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit (ECIU).
Holyrood Magazine 26th Aug 2016 read more »
Prime Minister Theresa May will pull out of the Hinkley Point nuclear project and China "cannot be trusted", according to former MP for Wells and Liberal Democrat spokesperson, Tessa Munt. The prospect of a government pull-out over the project to build two nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point near Bridgwater, has been welcomed by Munt, who believes the Prime Minister will turn against it and it would be "mad" to have China "running our energy".

Government is exploring ways to get out of the deal.

Power Engineering International 26th Aug 2016 read more »
Media reports say Britain's new government under Prime Minister Theresa May is scrutinizing the deal with China in search of a loophole or an escape clause that could allow them to back away from the deal with dignity. May's chief of staff Nick Timothy, in an online posting in 2015, criticized the idea of Chinese companies taking a minority stake in the $24 billion project as a security risk. China could move in and "shut down Britain's energy production at will," Timothy wrote. In addition, criticism over the price deal the previous government arranged for French nuclear plant operator Electricite de France (EDF), remains a frequent discussion in the press, despite the subsidy's previous approval from the European Commission. That decision, however, may be considered moot, as Britain, more recently, has decided to exit its membership in the European Union.

When Greenpeace published a comment piece in the Guardian, arguing that there were plenty of alternatives to the £30 billion Hinkley Point C, we had plenty of responses with ideas ranging from the off-beat to the so-obvious-why-aren't-we-doing-it-already. What unites them all is their size: the energy systems of the future are numerous, varied, small-scale and interconnected. In contrast, Hinkley Point C would be a huge monolith, which – even before it's built – is widely recognised as an expensive white elephant, saddling British consumers with high energy costs for decades to come.

Another day, another Hinkley Point C demolition job. This time it's from the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a non-profit organisation, apparently, but clearly one with a better grasp of finance than our ex-chancellor. It's had a squint at the £18 billion nuke and reached a happy conclusion: there are "cheaper, quicker and simpler alternatives to Hinkley". Its report tackles a key myth: that Hinkley is the best way to meet 7 per cent of Britain's energy needs, while also cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Not so. Four big wind farms or three more interconnector cables could bring as much electricity into the grid. And that might not be necessary anyway as "we could negate the need for at least two fifths of Hinkley's electricity by cutting waste". Neither do we need 3,200MW of "always on" baseload power. We could handle the same peak demand requirements through extra connectors or gas-fired stations, not least if industry rescheduled non-essential processes away from times of highest demand. Besides, grids are getting more flexible, partly thanks to innovations in storage. Tot it all up and those alternatives will save taxpayers at least £1 billion a year versus Hinkley, a project so daft that its electricity will cost us more than twice today's wholesale rate, an effective £30 billion subsidy. Theresa May is pondering what to do about the Hinkley nuclear disaster. It's blindingly obvious.

The rasp is excellent for use with foods such as hard cheese, nutmeg, chocolate, lemon, ginger, carrot, garlic, and for use as a serving piece.
For garlic, first peel the skin off a clove. If using a garlic peeler, place the clove in the tube and roll briskly on a flat surface with the palm of your hand until you hear a "crushing" sound.
Grate the garlic by rubbing it over the "teeth" of the rasp, either in a circular motion or back and forth.
After the desired amount of garlic is grated, use a brush to "sweep" and transfer to another plate or use as an ingredient in a recipe. Also, the plate or bowl may be used to prepare recipes and to serve.
After use, wash either by hand or by placing in a dishwasher. The brush is best washed by hand.

Stretchy strings make 'fuzzy' black hole give up its secrets
By Stephen Battersby
BLACK holes may be filled to the brim with giant strings and vibrating membranes. The idea contradicts the conventional view of black holes, which says that all the matter inside is crammed into an infinitely dense point. And by providing a way for black holes to send out information about their contents, it could resolve a profound paradox in physics.
Samir Mathur and his colleagues at Ohio State University in Columbus were investigating a puzzle called the black-hole information paradox. The gist is that the theory of quantum mechanics says information must be preserved – it cannot be created or …


After almost 25 years in Potrero Hill, Aperto is closing. The restaurant's last dinner service will be Sunday, April, 30.
Owner Chris Shepherd, who also runs Bellanico in Oakland, said the decision is the last chapter of a two-year journey bookmarked by landlord disputes and legal action.
Shepherd, who took over Aperto in the early 2000s, said his plan was always to one day sell the business if the right offer came along.
In 2015, Shepherd was approached by chef Michael Gaines who wanted to buy the Aperto space and implement his own concept. At the time, Shepherd said Aperto had a little less than two years left on its lease at the five-unit Potrero Hill building.
The Shepherd crew brought Gaines' idea to the landlords of the building, telling them the well-regarded chef was interested, but concerned about the short amount of time left on the current lease.
Shepherd said the landlords didn't respond for nine months.
"I got frustrated because I kept trying to get them and nothing," he said. "What none of the landlords admitted was that they just didn't want a longterm lease in the space when they sold the building down the road."
Finally, in 2016, Shepherd said the landlords told him to market the space again. He contacted Gaines about the spot, but the chef had already found a new location. Gaines opened Glena's in Dogpatch earlier this year.
Shepherd said they were approached by a new set of potential owners in December 2016, and the group signed a lease agreement by February. Communication delays with the landlords once again forced the deal to fall apart, Shepherd said.
The entire building where Aperto is located was sold to new owners recently. Shepherd said he received a certified letter from the new landlords, stating they would only implement month-to-month leases for the foreseeable future.
"I knew I was done with this as soon as I saw it. I'm so beyond all the fighting. It was so intense," Shepherd said. "I'm in a different mode. I've never closed a restaurant, so now I have to do everything I've learned to do, only in reverse."
Shepherd has been associated with Aperto since 1996, when he joined the restaurant as a cook. He and his wife formally took over the restaurant about six years later. He said that despite the tumultuous end, he will always have emotional connections to the restaurant.
Not only did it start his path as a restaurateur, it led to the opening of Bellanico in Oakland, he said..
"We sunk everything we had emotionally and physically in this place to make it continue then," he said. "It's emotional to be where we are now."
As far as Aperto goes, Shepherd said he could see it living again somewhere in the East Bay, but in a model better-suited for the Bay Area restaurant industry in 2017.
"There's always going to be a place for a neighborhood restaurant serving great food and not being pretentious about it," he said. "In the back of my mind, I could see Aperto in various spaces in the East Bay. We just have to figure out a new model that is sustainable."


Sometimes, no matter how many hands-on family tree activities, timelines, or pedigree charts you try with a child, he or she still won't seem interested in learning anything related to past or present family members. If this is the case (or even if it isn't), I suggest using something that interests that particular child and then building your family's history around that.
My almost-four-year-old daughter, loves looking at fashion photos - dresses, outfits, hats, jewelry, and other accessories - so I started thinking of ways in which to introduce some family history using her interest in fashion. I ordered a book from Amazon entitled From Rags to Riches: A History of Girls' Clothing in America by Leslie Sills. I had never seen this book in person before, and according to the publisher, it was geared towards older pre-teen girls. BUT, it received five star reviews and the reviewers mentioned that there were plenty of photos, so I decided to try it.
I am glad that I did, because it's a wonderful book! The book discusses the styles of garments, shoes, and accessories female children and women wore from the Colonial period all the way up to modern-day fashions. It talks about what types of fabrics were used in each period and HOW garments were made, which actually introduces some great technological and industrial history. The book discusses how major national and world events and famous people influenced fashion. Yes, there is a lot of text, but it is still written very simply and even my young daughter was able to understand many parts (with some explanation) as I read it to her. The illustrations are the true gems of this book; wonderful historical photos, paintings, and sketches of women and girls in all sorts of dress and work outfits.
So what does all of this have to do with teaching my daughter about our family history? Well, now we look at old family photos like the ones below and talk about what the people are wearing. Of course, I also slip in a few details of WHO these people were and HOW they are related to us. And don't forget to examine the men's clothing along with the women's - it can tell you a lot about social status and perhaps even what they did for a living. Examining photo details with kids is a GREAT way to introduce them to one aspect of forensic genealogy - using clues within photos to learn about when, where, and how people lived.
I have created a board on the Growing Little Leaves Pinterest account dedicated to compiling fashion history books and websites. I am always looking for and adding sources when I find them, so be sure to follow along! If your kids like to color, there are some really great, educational historical fashion coloring books out there - you can buy them from Amazon for decent prices. And some major museums like the Smithsonian and the Metropolitan Museum of Art allow you to search their collections online for free.
My daughter likes fashion - your child or teen may be more interested in transportation or construction/architecture or sports. Use some aspect of their OWN personal interests and build your family history around those interests.


There are times throughout our journey of life that may feel very distant from what we remember as a vibrant, fluent union with God.
I said, 'let me remember my song in the night; let me meditate in my heart.' Then my spirit made a diligent search: Will the Lord spurn forever, and never again be favorable? Has his steadfast love forever ceased? Are his promises at an end for all time? Has God forgotten to be gracious? Has he in anger shut up his compassion?
My mother has always said that if you don't lie, you never have to remember what it was that you said. If you have to recount a story or experience, it'll simply be the truth over and over. It's a simple concept, but one more often than not, we struggle to adhere to. Take the next opportunity you have to possibly stretch the truth, and resist that temptation. Shoot straight. Enjoy the freedom and peace of mind that results.

Within days of the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Note7 in August 2016, there were reports of the phones exploding. Problems within the battery cells caused the phones to overheat and in extreme cases, to catch fire. More than 100 incidents were reported of serious damage to property, as well as harm to individuals.
Recalling the phone
Within a couple of weeks, Samsung had issued a recall of the phone. But the situation had already affected consumers worldwide. 2.5 million Samsung Galaxy Note7s were sent to retailers in several markets, and around a million phones were in use by consumers by the time the recall was issued.
From the beginning it was obvious that Samsung was responding differently to consumers affected by the problems with the Galaxy Note7 depending on where they were in the world.
Our letter to Samsung
Samsung is a global company. Its handsets are just as likely to malfunction in Sydney as Seoul, so the way Samsung treats its customers should be no different. Instead of reacting to situations as and when, country-by-country, we were clear that Samsung needed a consistent and transparent process to deal with a crisis like this.
Consumers International demanded a clear, global plan of action. One that offered all owners of affected phones the same treatment, including refunds and the chance to replace their handsets.
We put pressure on Samsung to address consumer concerns, such as the cause of the problems, and the environmental plan for managing waste from the phones.
We issued an open letter to Samsung in October 2016, outlining the specific measures the company needed to take to restore consumer trust, namely that it must:
identify what went wrong in the product testing process
publically announce the results and subject them to independent scrutiny
put in place a consistent refund and exchange policy for all consumers that meets the highest standards, regardless of where the phone was bought or where the consumer lives.
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 - Global Update
The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall has had affected consumers across the world. Read our global update to find out how the Samsung response has differed from region to region.
Rapid recall: getting unsafe products off the market quickly
Product recalls are an important way to remove unsafe products from the marketplace and prevent injury and death. This year the OECD and the International Standards Organisation will be looking at how recalls can be delivered more effectively to ensure consumers are better protected.

What are the benefits of partnering with ARROJO? How has becoming our first Flagship Ambassador helped you to increase success at Intrigue?
Partnering with ARROJO is a landmark moment in our twenty-year history. We became the first Flagship Ambassador because we relate to a business built and run by a working hairstylist. The confidence, culture, and credibility of the company is unsurpassed by anyone we've worked with. ARROJO strengthens our identity, and helps us to attract the best staff.
It seems like you've also become a hub of education and inspiration for all professionals in the area. Tell us about "Club Intrigue" and how ARROJO influenced your decision to take up this mantle.
Educating the team is a core principle at Intrigue. But ARROJO gives more focus to our educational vision. When Nick did Happy Mondays here the response was amazing; it inspired us to host our own education, to show the community what we can do. Now we offer cut and color classes, along with "Club Intrigue," a two hour presentation that is free to all professionals. The concept is Stylists Educating Stylists. Now we are renowned for education in Atlanta. You can find out more on www.clubintrigue.com.
It's great to hear about you using education as a tool to connect, inspire, and to grow at the same time. How is ARROJO a part of it?
We use ARROJO's online subscription service, which is a great way to access education anytime, anywhere. Most valuably, however, the benefits of the Ambassador Program 'earns' us free education. The quality of our work has increased exponentially since 2010; it is a result of the extensive education we receive. Nick also invited our stylists to cut on stage and assist ARROJO with their shows. Aside from the kudos and the confidence this gives my team, we've also made positive relationships with other Ambassadors, creating new outlets for sharing information, expanding knowledge. ARROJO is helping us grow at an amazing rate.
It's great to hear about the positivity in this relationship, yet you've been a successful salon owner for 20 years. What is the philosophy that facilitates your success?
I don't worry about building a client base. I prefer to focus on doing the right things, which to me is having a great salon in a great location with great staff. If those elements are right, clients will come. The way you treat people is paramount, too. You must keep stylists happy and productive in their work. Most importantly, education is a constant here at Intrigue. We are always looking to grow as individuals, and as a team.
What are some ways you encourage retail growth at Intrigue? What advice do you have for salon owners looking to grow this side of their business?
Motivation is a major part of retail success. We offer bonuses and contests that generate excitement about sales. We've given gift cards to stylists so they can offer discounts to clients. This shows our confidence in the product and encourages clients to try something new. We let customers know that product sales go towards education credits with ARROJO, so our stylists can continue to improve. When applying product to a guest's hair, I always say: "I use this because..." so they understand why the product is great for them.
It was an honor to take the platform to talk to a room full of business-leaders at the Success Symposium. It's another example of the value of this partnership. I spoke about Intrigue's "Upgrade Program." We live in an upgrade-available world; we brought this idea into the salon environment. It's about stylists being confident enough to charge for additional color services (upgrades) that previously may not have been added to the service ticket. It's a great success. Through my relationship with ARROJO and Goldwell we are able to share this message nationally, which raises our profile, and brings the industry's interest on to my business.
