SILK INSPIRE
The Madness Is The Method – An Interview with Jeff Newsom
2017-07-21 /0 Comments/in Interview, SILK INSPIRE /by Raj Lalwani
Jeff Newsom went from being a young artist, to a competitive gamer, to a travelling musician, to aspiring physicist. Today, in his thirteenth year as a wedding photographer, his photographs are an unending video game, with the play of visuality much like an improvised musical performance, his work, seeking to understand the physicality of the various atoms that come together, to form a story.
Life Is Too Important To Spend Time Doing Things That Do Not Make You Happy
The biggest secrets behind photographers who walk their own path, are often, the really simple ones. For Jeff, it was a simply a matter of asking himself who he was. "When I started photographing weddings back in 2004, my goal was to be really good, and of course, what we define as good is only related to what we have seen. Not only are we settings our sights low, unmindful of our true potential, it also means that we are trying to fit in," he says. The catalyst to this self introspection was a photograph he made in 2006, something that he defines as too cheesy, not fitting his vision. "The moment I shot it, I knew I had to stop. I started to experiment, started to use the language instead of merely following it. It is not an easy transition, it needs a fine balance. But life is too important to spend time doing things that do not make you happy."
The only way to delve deeper within a particular subject, or a certain kind of photography, is to delve deeper within oneself. Around the time he was struggling to redefine his vision, Jeff took inspiration from his childhood, from a series of cartoons that he would obsessively watch as a kid. Voltron: Defender of the Universe, a popular American animated series of the eighties featured a team of extraordinary astronauts who come together to pilot a super robot called Voltron. "I realised that I was seeking excellence, but for that, I needed to find connection. Each of the astronauts, each of the robots in the cartoon, are awesome. But they still need to come together."
Voltron of Awesomeness
Thus was formed Voltron of Awesomeness, an identity, a branding, or simply, a philosophy that Jeff chose to embrace. "I had to remind myself that what I do is impossible without a bunch of awesome elements coming together. It is the vision, the technique, my past and present, and most importantly, people on the outside, the ones who are getting married, and the others who are a part of that unique celebration. I had to connect with all of these, so that they together, it could be a Voltron of awesomeness. It is an acknowledgement of the importance of every person who I work with, the power of the magic that can happen, when things come together." Most crucially, it is Newsom reconnecting with what makes him happy, video games, nerd culture and the kind of movies that also went on to influence his visual aesthetic. Much like a video game, his photos took on a heightened sense of reality, his bold colour palette influenced by the eye-popping contrast of reds and blues in games and cartoons.
The sheer amount of technique that seems to have gone behind making some of his photos is mindboggling. Unconventional lens choices, long exposures, multiple exposures, and sometimes, all of them, come together in the same picture. It's almost a layering, a deliberate construction that he seems to do, something that reminded me of a process followed by photographers from other genres who have been inspired by surrealism, Koci Hernandez (in his street work) and Erwin Blumenfeld (in his iconic fashion photos).
The Madness Is The Method
Interestingly enough though, Newsom says that there is no method to his madness, the madness is the method. "It's not like I have a bag of tricks, a series of previsualised frames that I then execute with different couples. No. More than being an artist, I am a problem solver. I look for constraints, things that push me into a corner and make me react," he says. Being in unpredictable situations with very little time at hand means that there's always a solution that needs to be thought of. And very often, the peculiarity of the way his photographs look, is not him creating art merely to be different, but is actually his spontaneous solution to the situation. "I do not like to preconceive anything, because giving myself a false sense of control will only restrict me, only pigeonhole my vision. It's more like, uh oh, we have a situation, maybe the light is low, maybe the space is constructed… and what do we have here, a flash, a tripod, a phone, now let me see how I can bring these things together in the three minutes that I have before the couple needs to rush off towards the next part of the ceremony.
A Series Of Unending Serendipitous Discovery
Instinct plays a pivotal role in the way he makes photos, and that is something which he correlates with the art that he created even before he took up photography."Even with illustration, it was the first line that would lead to the second, the second, that would lead to the third. At the time of putting pencil to paper, I'd not know where it would lead me. I would just start sketching." Wedding photography, for Jeff Newsom, is a series of unending serendipitous discovery.
Maybe that is the reason why his work continues to remain fresh. Maybe that is why, despite the craftsmanship being an obvious highlight, his photos do not look laboured. Even when his use of technique is audacious—he'd use a tilt-shift not only to play with focus, but also to shift planes, bend lines, skew perspectives—the final photograph comes across as just someone having fun, it's cool, it's effortless. "A lot of my favourite photographs, some of which people consider to be very intricately crafted, are actually the failures, where I did not achieve what I actually set out to make." Instead of lamenting the fact that the picture hasn't gone in the direction that he wanted it to, Jeff seeks great thrill in the fact that it has wandered, to a side that he wouldn't have discovered otherwise. His favourites are often sloppy, he says, the sloppiness adding an element, an edge, a spark that he couldn't have conceived. It is where reality surprises his imagination.
What The Colours Of The Sky Looked Like
Beyond reality and imagination, it is the idea of memory that inspires Jeff Newsom. He is creating new ones, and yet drawing from his own. Photography, for him, is not merely the documentation of a moment, but also the crafting of the final print. He says, "I process my photos myself, so that I can bring in my memory of the moment, and interpret the colour based on that memory, on how the photograph make me feel, and not so much, what it actually looked like in reality." He have always been inspired by the impressionists. Monet, Van Gogh, their use of movement and emotion, their use of colour. "That is probably how I am wired. I went skydiving, once, an event that left such a deep impact on me. And not because of the obvious adventure attached to it. My only memory is not the thrill of falling. It is of what the colours of the sky looked like."
Jeff is one of the panelists of SILK INSPIRE 2017 festival, and will be in India on October 6th-10th to give a seminar, as well as a master class. He will be available to meet photographers. Get your ticket for India's first Wedding Photography festival, and come meet him in Goa this October.

Q: How to select each first byte from bytes array I have bytes array ( Unicode character in this case). Unicode characters consist of 2 bytes and I want get each first byte.
Linq would be appreciated.
Example:
Dim b_1() As Byte = New Byte() {208,16,32,0,49,0,122,0,32,0}

Result must be array {208,32,49,122,32}

A: Firstly, it sounds like this is a bad idea in general. You haven't said why you want to do this, but it sounds like a recipe for data loss. If you've got data which is inherently text, you'd be better off with it as a string to start with. However...
... you can get "every other byte" by using the Where overload which takes an index:
var everyOtherByte = allBytes.Where((value, index) => (index & 1) == 0);

Use ToArray on the end if you need it as an array.

Session variable value is getting refreshed or holding previous value onclick of back button in browser,only in mozilla firefox it is happening like this but it is working fine in chrome.please can anyone suggest something.
Second, this might be a specific setting in your firefox browser, firefox has several options on how long to keep cookies. (A session variable is a sort of cookie). Or perhaps you are setting the session variable on each page load?
But it is working fine in chrome.. and i have set time for cookies keep until the page expires.
Did you already try with other browser? (Edge, Opera,...) If the problem it's just with Firefox, probably you need to verify Firefox definitions to adjust it to your needs.
When you say "refreshed", do you mean it's reset or changed? What does a URL have to do with it? Note that Session Variables live Server-side, so the browser shouldn't be an issue.
Also note that if you display the same app, with the same login, in two seperate browsers (e.g. Chrome and Firefox), you have two different sessions, each with their own set of Session Variables.


L'Ardoise is on their A-game when it comes to the French classics. We're particularly partial to the steak and coq au vin, but if you're more of a seafood person the fish is all well-done too. It's a very cozy spot that isn't on most people's radars. Turn on your escargot radar and locate L'Ardoise as soon as possible.

Chicago Injury Lawyer Blog Post
Does the FACT Act Have a Burdensome Effect on Claimants?
By - Ankin Law Office
The main purpose of the Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act is to reduce the number of fraudulent asbestos-related claims, however, the real result is that the compensation legitimate victims are entitled to is being delayed. Some claimants suffer from mesothelioma and can't afford these delays as they require immediate treatment.
The Dangers of Asbestos Exposure
Four decades ago, authorities started limiting the use of asbestos due to health risks. According to the CDC, 45,221 people died of mesothelioma – a type of cancer caused mainly by exposure to asbestos – between 1999 and 2015 in the United States. Despite this, US companies are still importing and using this mineral in various industries.
The Asbestos Nation claims that between 12,000 and 15,000 people die each year from diseases related to asbestos. Since the exact causes are not recorded or reported, the number of deaths could be much higher.
A Closer Look at the FACT Act
In the 1970s, people began suing companies that used asbestos and the number of cases grew significantly over the following decades. Approximately $49 billion had been paid out in compensation to around 730,000 people by 2002. Many of the companies being sued decided to file for reorganization under the bankruptcy law and set up trusts to pay out on asbestos claims.
In 2015, the FACT Act was introduced in an attempt to make the compensation being awarded from the trusts more transparent. The main goal of the bill is to reduce the likelihood of the system being abused by claimants filing for compensation from multiple trusts.
One of the stipulations of the FACT Act is that every trust must release a quarterly report detailing every claim, which is sent to the bankruptcy court. The report must include the name of the victim, the situation in which they were exposed to asbestos, and the reason why they were awarded compensation.
The FACT Act also forces these asbestos trusts to give companies at risk of being sued over asbestos exposure any information they require related to a claim.
Why Does the FACT Act Do More Harm than Good?
The bill gives companies the power to repeatedly ask for more information regarding a claim, which will delay the process. Furthermore, the FACT Act will require trusts to put in tens of thousands of hours every year to compile the reports being requested, which will require the trust spending money which could be used for settlements. It will also cause further delays.
Many of the victims submitting a claim are already dying from mesothelioma and other diseases. Thus, some settle for a much smaller amount, even when the company being sued is solvent, as they can't afford the delays. Even the best personal injury attorney will have to deal with companies falling back on the FACT Act.
The reports the trusts have to file will also include a lot of the claimant's personal information, including the last four numbers of their social security numbers, work histories, addresses, information on their personal finances and more. Since the reports are for public consumption, many people's personal information will be available to the world, opening them up to a number of other issues, including the risk of identity theft and fraud.
What About the Fraud the FACT Act Is Attempting to Stifle?
The Government Accountability Office analyzed the situation and was unable to find any proof of fraudulent claims. One of the issues raised by supporters of the FACT Act is that victims are filing claims with multiple trusts. However, this is not illegal nor fraudulent. Some victims were exposed to asbestos as a result of multiple companies. For example, firefighters and other first responders can be exposed to asbestos in multiple settings, so it is only natural for them to seek compensation from all the companies that were responsible.
Furthermore, according to a RAND study, these trusts are already severely underfunded. The median compensation payment is just a quarter of the value, with some victims receiving as little as 1.1 percent.
Asbestos Is Still Legal
Despite the harmful effects of asbestos, it is still legal and used quite extensively in a number of industries. And people have no way of knowing who is using this mineral and in what applications. For examples, a series of tests the EWG Action Fund commissioned in 2015 found that four different brands of crayons and two different brands of crime scene fingerprint kits for children contained asbestos fibers.
The FACT Act seems to be designed to protect the companies rather than the victims by delaying compensation payouts as much as possible. And while many of these companies continue to profit from asbestos, thousands of people are losing their lives.

Chris Brown Kids: How Many Kids Does He Have?
Posted on July 18, 2020 July 19, 2020 by quynhdang
How many kids does Chris Brown have? In November 2019, Chris Brown welcomes his second child. So now Chris Brown has two kids: Royalty Brown and Aeko Catori Brown.
On November 21, model Ammika announced the good news on Instagram: "I fell in love right from the first second I saw you." Meanwhile, the male singer also posted an article with the content "November 20, 2019" but did not specifically say the son was born.
The couple has been dating since 2015, but first appeared as a lover in Paris in January. In April, Chris broke up with Ammika and dated model Indyamarie. After more than a month of separation, Ammika revealed that she was pregnant with Chris' child. According to Hollywood Life, the singer left Ammika because the two of them argued about raising children and marriage.
As the top R&B singer, Chris was criticized by many for her personal scandals such as girlfriend violence, disdain for women. The singer is being charged with rape and drug use by French police.
Chris Brown, now has a daughter – Royalty Brown – and shares custody of his ex-girlfriend Nia Guzman. In the past, he has dated many Hollywood stars such as singer Rihanna, Vietnamese-born actor Karrueche Tran.
Royalty Brown, the six-year-old daughter of Chris Brown, is proving the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
In a video recorded by her mother Nia Guzman, Miss Royalty was dancing her heart out to her father's music and showing off her best Breezy-Inspired moves.
Royalty appeared to be dancing during a photoshoot for Milano Di Rouge, the streetwear brand owned by Milan Rouge, the rumoured girlfriend of Meek Mill who just announced her pregnancy.
Brown's fans took to social media to praise Royalty for her amazing moves. "She just like her Daddy," mused one, while another echoed, "Like father like daughter."
"She snapped dumb hard," wrote one user. Another added, "In due time kiddo, you'll have the dance moves of your dad.
Despite not confirming the status of their relationship, Brown sparked marriage rumours after fans spotted what appeared to be an engagement ring on his finger in a recent photo.

Mercedes has long been a leader on the racetrack, with hundreds of wins and a long track record of success. So it comes as no surprise that its new Mercedes-AMG GT R has proven its mettle on one of the toughest racetracks in the world.
Cars are built in the factory, but they are proven on the racetrack. The racetracks of the world are where superior designs are sorted out, and where the best manufacturers separate themselves from the rest of the herd.
The new Mercedes-AMG GT R may be the first vehicle to move directly from the most demanding racetrack in the world to the road. This powerful new vehicle is packed with the latest technology, a 585-horsepower engine, an aerodynamic design and a specially modified suspension for a better, safer and quieter ride on the racetrack and on the highway.
The Mercedes-AMG GT R just may be the most technologically advanced and race-proven vehicle the company has ever produced. That is because this new vehicle was proven on what may be the harshest proving ground on the planet.
Dubbed "Green Hell", the Nurburgring racetrack is widely regarded as one of the world's toughest, and it is the place where cars go to prove their mettle. The Nurburgring racetrack has developed a reputation as the most demanding in the world, and it is where Mercedes went to prove its new design.
That design has proven to be a winning one – both on and off the racetrack. The new Mercedes-AMG GT R features wider front and rear wings for superior grip on the racetrack and higher cornering speeds. Those engineering changes helped the Mercedes-AMG GT R be a winner on the racetrack, but the technological design has also allowed the new Mercedes to be a winner on the highway.
The vehicle also features a new rear fascia and rear aerofoil. These features are designed to improve the aerodynamics of the Mercedes-AMG GT R, both on and off the racetrack. The ability to sail through the air has obvious implications for racing times, but it is just as important for everyday drivers. The superior aerodynamics of the new Mercedes-AMG GT R means better fuel economy and a lower price at the pump, something all drivers will surely appreciate.
There are plenty of other features that make the Mercedes-AMG GT R a winner on the racetrack and on the open road. This dynamically styled vehicle features active rear-wheel steering for better stability on the road and the track. Along with its 9-way adjustable traction control system, this active rear-wheel steering is designed to make the GT R both safer and more fun to drive.
The exterior styling of the Mercedes-AMG GT R makes this one distinctive vehicle, but there is more than mere beauty involved. The dynamic vertical fins are perhaps the most celebrated feature of the new GT R, but there are plenty of subtler design touches that make the Mercedes-AMG one of the most stunning cars on the road today.
As Mercedes continues to expand its top-end market, we can expect to see many more of these racetrack-proven designs. The folks at Mercedes know that true sports cars must do more than look fast – they must prove their capabilities on the racetracks of the world, and the new Mercedes-AMG GT R has clearly done just that. This great new Mercedes not only survived its stay in "Green Hell" – it emerged a triumphant winner.

Welcome to the Discworld
in: Females, Nobility, Characters
Lady Sybil Deidre Olgivanna Vimes (née Ramkin), Duchess of Ankh, is a character in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
Lady Sybil Ramkin is first introduced in Guards! Guards!. She is a large, rather Wagnerian and aristocratic lady, almost as frightening as the swamp dragon that she breeds, yet also a kind-hearted person who tries to show compassion for others. She is known to be able to like almost anyone, and accept anything with great grace.
She was born into the wealthiest family in Ankh-Morpork and resides in the most select part of Ankh, Scoone Avenue. She has a dragon pen outside her house where she breeds and cares for swamp dragons. She also supports The Sunshine Sanctuary for sick, abused or abandoned swamp dragons in the city, which is run by her friend Rosie Devant-Molei. Her hobby has left her with her natural hair singed off and she wears a wig in nearly all circumstances.
Her maiden name is quite apt - a Ramekin is a small dish used to prepare and serve desserts like Crème Brûlée. The ramekin is built to withstand extreme heat, such as the flare of a torch used to light the Crème Brûlée - or a blast of fire from a dragon, an occupational hazard for dragon conservationists like Lady Sybil. Her name is misspelled twice as 'Sibyl' in Thud! which re-enforces the connection to the name's origin. In ancient Greek and Roman mythology, Sibyls were oracles or priestesses and the word has come to mean a witch, fortune-teller or sorceress. The most famous Sibyl was the Delphic oracle but another famous one was Cumae, who guided Aeneas through the underworld.
Despite her high-class upbringing she has displayed a resourcefulness (including an instance where she attacked abductors looking for a sacrifice) that attracted the attention of Sam Vimes, the Commander of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch, to whom she is currently married. The pattern of Sam and Sybil's marriage was set the moment he turned away from his wedding to chase an assassin who had just made an attempt on the Patrician's life. Lady Sybil is a remarkably patient woman; she spent nearly the entirety of The Fifth Elephant attempting to inform her increasingly distracted husband that she was pregnant with their first child. It is clear that Vimes loves his wife dearly, indeed when he was trapped in the past during the events of Night Watch, alone in a world he no longer recognised, the History Monks gave him a silver cigar case his wife had bought him to inspire him to continue with his mission. However, it is not entirely clear whether his hatred of crime and the evil of humanity is greater than his love for his wife. Sybil bears this divided loyalty with some grace; however, nearly every Watch novel concludes with Sam making some form of amends to his neglected wife, either a delayed honeymoon, or simply time alone with their new baby.
Sybil's actions as a wife are more to do with a sense of duty and tradition than with necessity; she doesn't need to cook, as she has a phalanx of servants to do so for her, and yet she cooks for her husband because she believes that is what wives do.
She can't cook in any meaningful sense; her typical output consists of leathery fried eggs, black and crunchy potatoes, and bacon that tends to shatter - all cooked on a pan held above a flaming dragon (and left there for too long), but that suits Sam, accustomed as he is to late nights outside low-cost greasy spoons.
Sybil also darns her husband's socks (she is far too genteel to damn them), even though she is rich enough to ensure he never need wear the same pair twice in his life, and as a result they no longer fit his feet properly, though he doesn't have the heart to tell her.
She donated her childhood home, Pseudopolis Yard, to the Watch after their original headquarters was burnt by a dragon.
She is an amateur soprano, and also enjoys spending time with Vimes when he is not on the job (which is very rare because there is always crime in Ankh-Morpork and crime does not take a rest whenever Vimes does).
Sybil maintains a number of close (female) social contacts from her school days, which, thanks to the kind of school she went to (The Quirm College for Young Ladies), are now strategically placed in the highest levels of power across the Sto Plains and often more powerful than Ankh-Morpork Guild leaders. Vimes once conjectures that if they so conspired, they could run the world, if they don't already.
Since Night Watch, she has a son with her husband Sam, called Young Sam. The birth was traumatic and nearly led to her death, but she was saved by the intervention of Doctor Lawn. After receiving an astronomical fee for this service, Lawn went on to found the Lady Sybil Free Hospital.

Please expound on your ideas I'm eager to hear??
I figured I had nothing to lose, so I'm trying it…I'm only 2 days into it, so maybe it works and maybe it doesn't.
I suffer from a mental disorder too, and I could most certainly relate to your words. They're beautiful.
I feel so alone in a room with my own son. I'm tired. Do I leave or stay. There has got to be another way…. Thank you for commenting… It does help to know you can feel me.
I'm probably not the best person to tell you what to do, but there's one thing that I know. You'll eventually find a way out, and everything is very temporary, so it's bound to get better. Take care.

Prepping for a fight in the Middle East
Willis Sparks
As the world waits to see whether Russia will invade Ukraine, a different set of military tensions is steadily rising in the Middle East. This week, for the first time ever, naval vessels from Israel and Saudi Arabia operated together as part of a 60-nation, US-led training exercise.
This remarkable political and military milestone suggests that both countries, many of their Arab neighbors, and the US Navy are now actively preparing together for a moment when tensions with Iran, their common enemy, could spill over into open conflict.
This show of well-coordinated strength comes at a time when Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen have again expanded that country's civil war by firing missiles at targets inside the United Arab Emirates in recent weeks. This happened during a visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog to the UAE, activating defenses at a base that houses US soldiers.
The backdrop for all this posturing is the international bargaining over Iran's nuclear program, which has reached a critical period. After lengthy delays and a month of talks, negotiators from Iran, the US, Russia, China, France, Britain, and Germany returned home on January 28 to brief their governments on progress made and unresolved sticking points.
An agreement by all sides to recommit to the 2015 nuclear deal would certainly cool the region's rising security temperature, but there are two main obstacles.
First, the US can't guarantee that a future US president won't decide to abandon the deal as former President Donald Trump did in May 2018. Why, Iran asks, should we commit to a plan the Americans won't promise to honor?
Second, Iran's leaders may be confident that their economy can withstand the pressure of continued, even intensified, US sanctions. Oil prices, now at their highest point in years, are bringing new revenue to Tehran's coffers. Russia and China have agreed to new trade deals with Iran, and its nuclear program is making rapid progress. Moreover, Iran has already endured so much economic pain that its leaders may calculate it can tolerate this misery indefinitely.
The US and Iran might yet reach an agreement, particularly since the deal's terms will expire in 2026 anyway, and neither side would have to remain committed to the terms for long. Getting to "yes" could postpone a crisis that no one at the table wants.
But if negotiations fall apart, then it will matter much more that Israel, Gulf states led by Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and the US are all working together to up the military pressure on Iran. No one wants a war that could quickly destabilize the entire Middle East, but Israel and the Saudis will not sit on their hands as Iran accumulates enough highly enriched uranium for several bombs, sets more advanced centrifuges spinning, and advances closer than ever before to unveiling a nuclear weapon.
In short, if there's no deal in the coming weeks, all sides will prepare for real trouble, which may begin with increasingly sophisticated cyber-attacks and sabotage strikes inside Iran. The risk of spillover into broader conflict can't be ignored.
Increased cooperation between Israel and the Gulf states could also come with one big silver lining for peace in the region. First, the normalization of relations between the Israeli and Arab governments is creating major trade and investment opportunities that boost growth across the entire region. Israel's government opened formal relations with the UAE and Bahrain in 2020.
Second, at a time when the US is less willing to accept the risks that come with managing conflict in the Middle East, alignment between the Israelis, Saudis, and UAE – with US backing – could still persuade Iran to avoid fights it can't win.
Israel conducted naval exercises with the UAE and Bahrain in November 2021, and Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz signed a defense cooperation agreement with Bahrain this week. And these historic naval exercises will take cooperation a step further.
For now, however, it's the fate of the nuclear deal that will determine how high the mercury rises in the Middle East this year.

What Marketers Need to Know about the New EU Copyright Directive
April 30, 2019 Social MediaAdChief
The 26th of March 2019 will remain a milestone date in the history of internet. This is the day when the European Union adopted the strictest digital copyright rules to date. As we will show you below, these new rules will affect everyone who seeks and shares content on the social media.
What Does the EU Copyright Directive Change?
The European Union had not updated its digital copyright laws in about 18 years before now. The old regulations did not take into account the power of social media to disseminate content – with or without the author's' permission.
What really impacts the way social sharing will change are Article 11 and Article 13 of the EU Directive. They state:
Article 11 – the snippets of content, such as the first paragraph displayed under a link shared on the social media, will be subject to permission and licensing by the copyright holder;
Article 13 – all social media platforms (Facebook™, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram) and even search engines like Google will have to apply stricter rules in monitoring potential copyright infringements.
In other words, the platform owners become responsible for whatever is shared on the social media and are forced to turn into copyright watchdogs.
How Will This Change Digital Marketing for You?
The crux of this issue largely depends on how social media platforms and Google will respond to the new regulations. As they are huge entities, they will seek the path with the least friction and least risk of liability. This means that they have three options to choose from:
Least likely: prepay for content sharing. This would mean setting up a system of fees to be paid out to media agencies, studios and content creators to cover any kind of content sharing;
Moderately likely: reduce their presence in the affected territory. This would mean a restriction of service to people in the EU in terms of content availability;
Highly likely: setting up content filters. These filters would check for copyright infringement at the moment when users try to upload/share something and reject copyrighted materials.
What Kind of Content Is Subject to the New EU Directive?
The list of items is too wide to cover in this article, but it is safe to state that it will cover every kind of media you usually post on Facebook™ and other platforms: text, audio, photo and video files.
However, the Directive states that "some" content will still be allowed to be shared freely. It includes GIFs, memes and news snippets. Also, there is an exemption provided for start-up online media companies – they will have lighter obligations with regard to copyright monitoring.
However, the main issue that will affect you will be the way social media networks will configure their copyright filters. For example, someone demonstrating a yoga technique with copyrighted music in the background will have their video banned from sharing, because of the music. Or, if you wear a printed t-shirt containing copyrighted material (a logo, a registered trademark), you may find your photo rejected by the copyright filter.
On the other hand, if you do not set up licensing rules for Google and the social media for your own content, you will find your distribution network significantly diminished. Your content may not show up anywhere in Europe because you did not give your consent for sharing.
At the moment, we are in the very early days after the adoption of the EU directive on digital copyright. Most likely, the European Parliament will offer social media platforms a reasonable period of time to change the way they allow users to upload and share content. Most likely, each platform will update their terms of use and will notify its users of how they will be affected in this respect.
As soon as there are significant developments on this topic, we will let you know.

As long as you can get replacement parts, a power tool can basically last forever. On corded power tools, the carbon brushes and bearings would be the first to wear out followed by the other less obvious items like the trigger switch and chuck.
While bearings are pretty standard industrial size and can even be an upgrade to the original bearings that came with the tool - as manufacturing tolerances and material improves, you might start to run into problems with older tools for other wear items.
Unless you can find a donor tool or a cache of genuine spares for a particular power tool like this guy did, then it's pretty much game over for your tool.

Q: $8$ children of $4$ boys and $4$ girls are needed to form $2$ circles of $4$ children each. Find the number of different ways that this can be done. My method would be to have $${8 \choose 4} \times 3! \times {4 \choose 4} \times 3! \times 2! $$
Well I multiply the $2!$ behind because I think circle 1 and circle 2 can be interchanged. However the answer is $$\dfrac{{8 \choose 4} \times 3! \times {4 \choose 4} \times 3!}{2!} $$
Do not really understand why they need to divide by $2$.

A: Based on the solution given, this question is asking you to treat both circles equally. Thus, if you put people $A,B,C,D$ in circle $1$ and put people $E,F,G,H$ in circle $2$, this is the same as putting people $A,B,C,D$ in circle $2$ and people $E,F,G,H$ in circle $1$.
But the formula $\binom{8}{4}\times 3!\times\binom{4}{4}\times 3!$ treats these two arrangements as being distinct. Hence you must divide by $2$.

Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse Opens: 5 Things To Know
The Cleveland basketball and concert arena has more going for it than just a new hame. Here are five reasons we can't wait to get inside.
The two-year $185 million transformation of Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse comes with only one complication: What are we going to call it?
After years of "The Q" rolling off our tongues as smoothly as a Kevin Love outlet pass, we need a new arena nickname pronto. But whether it's the Rock, the House or whatever, this upgrade is so much more than just a new name. Sweeping changes, including a jaw-dropping glass facade and atrium, inject the building with a new lease on life.
Gone are the cramped concourses and limited dining options. The FieldHouse now boasts more than 150,000 square feet of public space for ticketed guests, flipping the script from years past.
Cleveland Cavaliers and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse CEO Len Komoroski shares a few other highlights of the renovation ahead of its Sept. 30 reopening, featuring The Black Keys in concert.
Iconic Exterior
While the arena has seen some memorable events (hey there, four straight NBA Finals), it wasn't exactly an architectural stunner. Now the FieldHouse is an all-glowed-up exclamation point, more like a basketball palace — with 1,475 pieces of glass enclosing the north atrium and a brushed aluminum LED curtain wall capable of 1,500 color combinations on the exterior. "Our curtain wall and LED system allows us to change the personality of the FieldHouse," Komoroski says.
Powered-Up Entry
Step inside the FieldHouse's northwest entrance and behold the Power Portal. This 1,000-square-foot LED tunnel broadcasts Cavs highlights, custom imagery for concerts and more to amp guests up as they enter the arena. "Walking through the Power Portal surrounded by video and sound is truly spectacular," says Komoroski. "It's the only one of its kind, that we're aware of, in any arena in the world."
Welcome to the Neighborhood(s)
We've all been there: balancing nachos on top of a trash can at halftime with nowhere to sit but our seat on the other side of the arena. Those days are over. The FieldHouse offers eight different "neighborhoods" anchored around dining experiences, including the new South Neighborhood and its Saucy Brew Works beer garden. "This is a space where people can enjoy the ambiance," says Komoroski. "It also looks over Progressive Field."
Loudville Reborn
Life hasn't always been easy for the diehards in the tight confines of Loudville. Now this upper deck hangout rocks more space and features the Budweiser Brew House and Overlook Bar. At Overlook, scope picturesque views of both the glassy north atrium and downtown Cleveland. "We're going to see people from street level making their way up just to check Loudville out," Komoroski says, "which never would've happened before."
All of the improvements made it possible for the Cavs to snag the 2022 NBA All-Star Game and all of its $100 million-plus economic impact hype (plus that pretty cool Slam Dunk Contest). Not bad for a venue that's one of the oldest in pro basketball. "Without this transformation, NBA All-Star Weekend wouldn't be here," says Komoroski. "Our building couldn't compete for an event like that."

Obamacare and the Expat: What are you paying for?
Did you know that living abroad allows Expats to opt out of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) Plans (Obamacare)? Are you still paying outrageous US health insurance premiums for coverage that might not even reach to where you are living abroad? We speak weekly to people paying thousands of US dollars a month for their ACA plans with deductibles as high as $6,000 or $7,000. When we ask why, a lot of the answers are, "We thought we had to" or, "We want the option to have care in the US". Regardless of your political view of what is happening with Obamacare in the US, as of now it is still the law of the land and affects you.
What is Medical Tourism Insurance?
Many Expats move to Mexico and have no idea what coverage they might have from their Medicare program back in the US while here in Mexico. First and foremost Medicare WILL NOT cover you in Mexico. However if you purchased a Medicare supplement or a Medigap policy, some coverage might extend to you while abroad.


Samuel discusses methods of self love and self care in an effort to defeat codependency.
One word - POWERFUL! Just what I needed to hear today - I am feeling weak and needed a pep talk to stay the course and most importantly work on myself. I can relate to looking to my spouse to save me - and I acknowledge that I need to save myself through God. It is tough tough work. And I know it is the right choice. I am so thankful for your videos and that you share your wisdom.
brandsn, thanks so much for the encouragement here my friend. means a ton and so glad it helped you.
This was so true for me (I'm the unfaithful). The only problem is now that my husband became all about him and now is telling me my attempts are "too late" and he built himself back up no thanks to me. I'm just now doing my recovery work about a year later after full disclosure about a week ago. While everyday is still different, he keeps leaning towards giving up on us. Any advice on how not to chase the betrayed but help him believe I truly want him and prove I deserve him.
queenz, thanks for watching and commenting. i'm glad you're here. so if i hear you right, it's been a year of recovery work.....but full disclosure only a week ago is that right? with full disclosure only being a week ago, i'm not sure he's going to hear much right now. he probably needs time to process through the details and to digest it all. i think you would want to error more on the pursuit side than the lean back and let him chase you side. he will need his space, but not having full disclosure till a week ago is going to put him in a raw place and he's probably still reeling. i would slowly pursue him and see if you can continue to be strategic on how to show your desire to reconcile yet you'll allow it to take as long as it needs to. the unf need to be willing to go through the process for as long as it takes for them to heal. could be weeks could be months, maybe even a year or so of uncertainty, but if you're really feeling compelled to save the relationship i would do all he allows you to do but be comfortable with the space between you when he's not feeling it.
After months of setbacks and begging him to change, we had a final desperate and ugly fight and I sat down and realized how ridiculous it had become. Without tears or yelling or name calling for the first time in 10 years of marriage, I told him to leave and that my sanity, my recovery was more important to me and more important to the health of our children than keeping him home. He packed a bag with a couple of nights worth of clothes and I told him to go back and pack a bigger bag, that he was not ready to put my recovery before his relationship with his AP. After he left, I came across this blog post and felt so reassured in the decision I have made. I listen to it several times a day when I start to doubt my decision and feel those feelings of co-dependency creeping in. I go back and read the messages my unfaithful spouse sends me and he is still checking the boxes, hopefully, he will start to realize how destructive his behavior and choices are to our relationship but I am finally refusing to let them be destructive to me. I told him I want to go an EMS weekend so we will see...but if he chooses that he is not ready for recovery, I am finally ok with that. I am meeting with counselor weekly and am going to sign up for the online program through AR to help me be strong for a future with or without him. Thank you, my spouse said he has been listening to your blogs too...listening to Stephanie and your story seem to mimic ours even to the point where I am 3-4 months from the first DDay and this is the line in the sand. Please keep posting, Prayer, my kids and your blogs have gotten me through some of the most difficult days to see the light at the end of tunnel.
so glad you drew a line in the sand and stood your ground. it's important to stick up for yourself my friend. i'm so glad you did it. stay strong and take it one day at a time. i'm so glad the video blogs are helping you. i'll be praying for you.

by Anton Shilov 30 comments
An HP executive said be quoted on record at an industry event stating that the company has axed development of future devices based on Microsoft's Windows 10 Mobile operating system, and that the Elite X3 will be the final smartphone featuring the OS.

HP was the first to support Microsoft's Windows CE 2.0 platform in the mid-1990s and has continued to support Microsoft's mobile operating systems since then, offering devices based on Windows for Pocket PC, Windows Mobile, Windows Phone and others.

Your garbage disposal will start malfunctioning just like any other appliance in your home. After a while repairs wont do any good and the solution will be replacing it. There are a lot of benefits associated with garbage disposal replacement. A major advantage is that the drains in your home will not be clogged. When a garbage disposal is working properly, it shreds and grinds down organic material. The grinding transforms it into small bits. The small size ensures that the bits can easily move through the drainage pipes. This will ensure there will be no clogging. You will need to replace your garbage disposal if it cannot perform these functions.
Another benefit of garbage disposal replacement is that it improves the sanitary condition of your home. This is due to the fact that a good disposal garbage grinds all the food items you place in your garbage. This greatly reduces the amount of decomposing waste you put in your garbage. What this means is that your garbage will only have fewer bags of garbage. The bacteria growing in your trash can in this case will be minimal. If your garbage disposal stops doing this you will need to replace it.
Another advantage of replacing your trash can is to ensure you are environmentally friendly. Throwing your organic waste in the trash is very environmentally unfriendly. Using a garbage disposal makes it environmentally friendly. This is because waste is sent to a wastewater management center. Here it is converted to energy, fertilizer and much more. The environment can use such components in very many ways. Food waste disposed in a landfill always decomposes. It then releases a gas that traps heat in the earths atmosphere. This is why it is important to replace your garbage disposal when it starts malfunctioning.
Another benefit of garbage disposal replacement is reduced repair costs and much stress. This is because repairs will be done oftenly. In case urgent repairs are needed you will need to have cash at hand. Every time your garbage disposal will malfunction you end up being stressed. This happens because you will lack a place to dispose your wastes. This is why it will be advisable to get a new one. Improved quality is another advantage of garbage replacement. You might have bought your garbage disposal ten years ago. You will be guaranteed to get something of high quality because the manufacturing process and parts will have advanced over the years. There is improved functionality after you replace your garbage disposal. Your garbage disposal may have served you for years and years. Its performance keeps deteriorating over the years and this is why you should replace it.

A research shows this to those drinking 2litres of water daily
By News.com (self media writer) | 1 month ago
How many litres of water do you drink daily? It think it the recommendation that you have had from your young age. Two litres a day.
However a current research shows that the original estimate of two litres a day is more than required. "The water that we'd need to drink is the difference between the total water that we need to ingest and the amount that we get from our food," Prof John Speakman from the University of Aberdeen told the BBC.
According to the research the amount of water depends on the amount of food intake, type of food one takes, exercise levels, age. The two litres that are currently recommended scientifically unsupported.
In another research that theorizes death of famous actor Bruce Lee says that he may have died from dinking excess water. It has been found that in up to 40% of hospitalized persons and may cause death due to excessive water ingestion even in young healthy persons," the researchers continue, "there is a need for a wider dissemination of the concept that excessive water intake can kill."https://www.vanityfair.com/#intcid=inline_amp
