With my hair being very long and often suffering from heat products I am always keen to find products that keep my hair split end free and healthy. I have tried argan oil in the past which really helped as a deep, hydrating overnight hair conditioner. The Coco Loco Organic Coconut Oil Hair Mask by Old Wives Tails uses all natural products to give a deep condition to nourish and strengthen your hair. The products are made with organ ingredients, the Coco Loco Organic Coconut Oil Hair Mask contains Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, Lemon Peel Oil, Peppermint Oil and Olive Fruit Oil. The mask is vegan and cruelty free as well as containing no gluten, sulfate or paraben.
Personally I really wasn't keen on the smell of this product, a mix of coconut and peppermint. The contrasting scents really clashed for me and were quite pungent. The product starts as a solid product that quickly turns to oil in your hand. Rub the oil into your hair from the roots to the ends. You can then wrap your hair in a hot towel and leave for an hour or overnight. As I have quite a lot of hair the product didn't go very far, half the tub was needed on my first use. I left the product on for about 2 hours and then shampooed my hair and rinsed 3 times to get all the oil out.
My hair feels so soft and silky after using the Coconut Oil Hair Mask. It is less frizzy and damaged and the finish is far straighter and sleeker. The off putting smell of both the coconut and peppermint is gone after use and has left my hair just smelling of peppermint.
What deep hair conditioning products do you use?


I am very sad to say that these tasted like pure oil to me. I had to throw them out. The recipe that I normally use uses only 1/2 a cup of oil and those are delicious.
That's too bad, Kim. Mine turned out fine. Better luck next time!
I made these and they turned out great! I replaced 1 tsp of the vanilla with peppermint extract to give them something extra for Christmas. Thanks for the recipe!


In my forensic work, I quite often have to send/receive forensic disk images to/from clients via FedEx or UPS. Since it is never a good idea to send digital data unencrypted via a common carrier, I encrypt hard disk volumes that contain forensic images using TrueCrypt.
To introduce you to TrueCrypt and walk you through the process of encrypting a hard disk volume, I wrote up a detailed 'How-To' titled "Encrypt a Hard Disk Volume Using TrueCrypt." I think you will agree, TrueCrypt is an amazing open-source project. I suggest you also consider encrypting hard disk volumes that contain your backups or any other sensitive data.
If you are a beginning or intermediate Linux enthusiast, this 'How-To' provides an in-depth, step-by-step guide on how to install Ubuntu Linux 10.04 (Lucid Linux) on an external USB hard drive. You can purchase one of these drives for less than $50 US. Having a full and bootable Ubuntu distro on one of these drives provides greater flexibility than installing it on a dedicated workstation.
I am a huge fan of Ubuntu Linux. Ever since the release 06.06 ('Dapper Drake') on August 10, 2006, Ubuntu is my distro of choice. I always carry a bootable USB stick containing the latest distro loaded with tools. It is really incredible how handy this is in my day-to-day IR and forensic work. I also a big fan of those small portable external USB drives sold by Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba, etc.
It is quite easy to install Ubuntu Linux on an external USB drive. I have about half a dozen of these drives with Ubuntu installed – dedicated to specific purposes. One of these drives is used as my development and test environment for my soon to be released (and free) McAfee Command Line Scanner Project (MCLSP). I will have more to say about this in future posts; suffice it to say this project provides a bootable version of Ubuntu Linux that runs the 'McAfee Windows Command Line Scanner' on Linux! This is one very cool tool.
Download the 'How-To' and give Ubuntu Linux a test drive. One word of caution for those of you who wondering if the install instructions will work on a USB thumb drive. The answer is yes, it will work. I suggest, however, that you don't do it. I have tested it and discovered running a full blown version of Ubuntu from a thumb drive is agonizingly slow. Remember, 'installing' a Linux distro on a thumb drive is different than creating a 'ramdisk' version. I will have more to say about this later.
If you are like me, you have little tolerance for unsolicited telemarketing calls and junk mail credit card and insurance solicitations. Another concern we share as security professionals is identity theft. About a year ago, I did a lot of research into these topics and developed a systematic approach to end the intrusive calls, remove 95% of the junk mail in my residential mailbox, and lock down my credit.
I wrote a 'How-To' to walk you through the simple steps of taking back ownership of your phones, mailbox and credit. The document is posted on the 'How-To' page. These simple steps really work. The only calls I get are from organizations that congress (foolishly) exempted from the 'Do-Not-Call' laws, such as political campaigns and non-profits. I get zero credit card and insurance solicitations. I also have security freezes on my credit from all three bureaus making it nearly impossible for an extension of credit in my name without my knowing about it.
Download this 'How-To' and send it to your friends and relatives.
I am a digital security consultant currently working for Foundstone, a division of McAfee. Long on my 'To-Do' list is an entry to create a blog. On the last day of 2010 – I can check this item as complete. I now have a blog.
The focus of my blog is emergency incident response (IR) and digital forensics. This is my world. What I love to do. In fact, I spend most of my life on the road assisting organizations deal with emergency security incidents.
Here I will post items of interest I learn along the way. I also have a passion for creating useful (and free) IR and forensic tools. I will post these also as I complete the proper documentation.
I am committed to fighting Internet evil, even if it has to be done one computer at a time.
Tonight I will raise my champagne glass and honor all you 'White Hats' who fight the good fight and never give up.

Brexit analysis: Not since peak Thatcherism has Britain been so divided
British prime minister Theresa May faces a Brexit showdown at Westminster. Picture by Alastair Grant/PA Wire
JOHN MANLEY
FOLLOWING a month-long postponement MPs will tomorrow deliver their verdict on the EU-UK withdrawal agreement. The widespread expectation is that despite last minute interventions and reassurances from various quarters, Theresa May will lose the meaningful vote. That, however, is where any agreement ends.
While civil society in the north and a majority of Stormont's MLAs appear to support the deal, regarding it as the least worst option, their voices are muted by a corresponding lack of representation at Westminster. No matter how many times it's stressed that the DUP is unrepresentative of majority opinion in Northern Ireland, the party will ensure that 10 of the 11 votes cast by the region's MPs will seek to scupper the withdrawal agreement and increase the likelihood of a no deal – and a hard border.
The nationalist parties' traditional Labour allies in Britain are all over the place. To the dismay of many of his Remain-supporting MPs, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn continues to put in a lacklustre, bewildering performance that appears to place his own short-term interests ahead of Britain's future.
If the deal falls tomorrow, Mr Corbyn has signalled that he plans to table a vote of no confidence in the government. But even this exercise appears pointless, given that he's highly unlikely to gain the required support in Westminster to topple the Tories.
Mrs May's position appears less secure than her party's but until we know the scale of tomorrow's anticipated defeat it is impossible to say whether her leadership is salvageable or not.
Yet without some major shift in the dynamics of the situation, the lack of consensus will continue to dog the Brexit process no matter who's in charge. There are a number of alternative plans, including postponing B-day on March 29, having a second referendum, and blindly driving into a no-deal – but none commands adequate support.
Not since the days of peak Thatcherism in the early-to-mid 1980s has Britain been so politically divided and potentially combustible. There is concern that if MPs take greater control of the process, ultimately thwarting the clean break with Brussels that the hard Brexiteers desire, then an angry backlash will follow. However, faced with dire economic consequences and increased international isolation, Westminster has a responsibility to face down those who are eager to drive off a cliff, with Northern Ireland strapped in the passenger's seat.
There is no doubt these are interesting times in which we live but a volatile mix of uncertainty, expediency and acrimony also makes them slightly scary.

Penn National Banking on Legal New York Online Sports Betting
The push to legalize New York online sportsbooks continues. The only legal access to books is through land-based casinos and race tracks located in the upstate region of New York. That effort has strong support from more than a few lawmakers but it still needs to make its way through the legislative process.
In the meantime, Penn National Gaming has decided to put the cart before the horse as far as expanding its sports betting initiative in New York. The Pennsylvania-based gaming company recently announced a new strategic partnership with Capital Region Gaming, LLC. This partnership also has ties to Rush Street Gaming.
Rush Street has grown to become a major player in the legal US sports betting industry. One of its New York properties in Rivers Casino & Resort Schenectady. Penn Nationals new partnership with Rush Street is viewed as a viable gateway to the New York market. You may well see a BetRivers promo code soon enough.
The Del Lago Sportsbook is not under this umbrella.
This deal still needs to receive regulatory approval and it remains contingent on the approval of legal online sports betting in the Empire State.
The bigger picture in a partnership between Penn National and Rush Street would cover legal sports betting in three more states making their way through the legislative process.
With New York hopefully on board in 2021, expansion into Ohio sportsbooks, Maryland sportsbooks, and Missouri sportsbooks would be next on the list if these states follow suit. New York, and more importantly New York City, offers the most potential as the next big online sports betting market.
Register with a Caesars promo code to have a welcome offer
Penn National Gaming's equity stake in Barstool Sports has already paid huge dividends through last year's launch of the Barstool Sportsbook mobile betting app. In markets where available, this app has been posting some impressive numbers in both monthly handle and revenue.
New Jersey sportsbooks has established itself as the biggest sports betting market in the country with more than $6 billion in sports wagers last year. The Garden State closed out 2020 with nearly $1 billion in sports bets during the month of December. January's figure came in slightly lower at $958.7 million according to state gaming records.
In the heavily populated northern section of the state, quite a bit of monthly sports betting volume can be attributed to crossover traffic from New York.
While sports betting has been legal in New York since 2019, the current system in place is not conducive to market growth. The primary roadblock is the lack of legal online sportsbook apps.
Industry betting figures project that more than 90% of the sports wagers placed in New Jersey are online through a mobile sportsbook app.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has been pushing hard for the legalization of online sports betting but the current legislative bills to amend state law are not moving as fast as expected.
Cuomo's plan is to run legal online sports betting through the New York Lottery. However, New York lawmakers are looking to emulate New Jersey's system that opens the door to more online operators.
The Barstool Sportsbook app was first launched in Penn National's home state of Pennsylvania where it has performed extremely well. It was just launched in Michigan with an eye towards Illinois as the next state on the list.


While so often the debate about Mormonism centers around the peculiar and controversial on the one hand and the banal and unimaginative on the other, Latter-day Saints are animated by a much grander vision of life. Journalists often ask what differentiates Latter-day Saints but rarely investigate what inspires, motivates and moves them. As is the case with any religion, the transcendent side of Mormonism cannot be captured by caricature and stereotype. For example, much media attention has been devoted to such topics as the precise location of the Garden of Eden and on which continent Christ will reappear without examining the over-arching worldview that gives them meaning.
However, as an exception to this rule, the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life hosted a substantive conference aimed at exploring the larger picture of Mormonism. One reporter initiated a thought-provoking discussion by asking Mormon historian Richard Bushman, "What is the question that Mormonism answers?" Bushman replied: "What Mormons really try to do is to offer a story – a story of human existence that begins in the world before and comes to this world. It answers the classic questions of whence, why, and where. It's not just something that stands above Mormons, but is imbued into their minds." This broad view of humanity stirs the inspiration of Latter-day Saints, elevates their earthly aspirations and gives poetic meaning to their eternal longings.
Accordingly, the journey of human life originates in a pre-mortal existence, where each individual exercises free will and progresses spiritually by learning from a loving God the principles of truth and happiness. To further that progress, God provided a mortal existence in which His children could prove their faithfulness and fulfill a very individualized destiny. His personal guidance and mercy, manifested in the Savior Jesus Christ, give each individual more than ample opportunity to succeed. Participating in this mortal test is a choice each person makes freely. And the choices made in this life determine one's station and activity in the eternities, where God reserves a unique place for all of his children. Throughout this process each individual maintains a core identity and possesses immense capacity for growth and progress. Above all, the main purpose of God's numberless creations is to allow his children to be happy.
This transcendent worldview affirms both a broad perspective of eternity and a focused concern with the immediacy of the present. It motivates actions into civic involvement by extolling the inherent worth of the individual and urging mutual responsibility between all humankind. It exalts the attainment of intelligence and knowledge, and not only in this life — these will continue to increase and serve wonderful purposes in our eternal journey.
Latter-day Saints embrace the acquisition of knowledge as a spiritual mandate. Joseph Smith proclaimed: "One of the grand fundamental principles of 'Mormonism' is to receive truth, let it come from whence it may." And, according to revealed scripture, "whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life" will follow us in the hereafter (D&C 130: 18). Thus, all human striving blends seamlessly into eternity.
Writing about religion involves the difficult task of capturing the ineffable individual and collective spiritual experience of a large group of people. Getting at the heart of Mormonism is best undertaken not by narrowly focusing on controversy and getting mired in esoteric theological debates, but through a more imaginative examination of the worldview that inspires its members.

Missing rescue dog on the run for five days dodges death on train tracks
Published: 4:24 PM August 31, 2018 Updated: 8:09 PM October 10, 2020

A daring dog outwitted police and survived being driven over by a train after sparking a five-day hunt by opening a garden gate and bolting for freedom.
It all started last Thursday, when the appropriately named Rogue, managed to open Kerry Ellison's garden gate in Bramley Rise, Beccles, and escape.
Mrs Ellison had been taking care of the border collie Staffordshire bull terrier cross while her brother holidayed in Dorset.
James Bevan had picked up the rescue dog just two months earlier and while he admitted she suffered "separation issues", he thought the canine would be no trouble for his sister. But Rogue had other plans.

When she escaped Mrs Ellison was left in a state of "pure panic". She said: "I ran next door to see if they had seen her and did a search of the local area but couldn't find her. I went to put a post up on Facebook and saw there had already been a sighting."
Rogue first travelled to Worlingham before being spotted on the notorious Barnby bends along the A146. Police attempted to capture her in the early afternoon but Rogue headed for the nearby train tracks and hid out.
Mrs Ellison spent the next four days desperately chasing Rogue's shadow, responding to all possible sightings, constantly a moment too late.
On Friday she received a terrifying message from a train driver who had spotted the dog sitting on the track. Unable to scare her away or slow down, the train had passed over Rogue – who miraculously walked away unharmed.
The search attracted huge attention on social media and prompted an outpouring of support. Mrs Ellison said: "The public were amazing. Complete strangers were so willing to find her. We were overwhelmed by the response."
Facebook posts were shared 600 times, drone owners carried out aerial searches and people searched day and night. And on Tuesday Mrs Ellison got the call she had been dreaming of.
Rogue had been found, skinny and with sore paw pads but otherwise unharmed, under a car in Beccles and taken to nearby Coastline Veterinary Surgeries.
Mr Bevan said: "I am immensely grateful to everyone who helped. If it wasn't for the community support I don't think we would have found her."

Sometimes gardening can be a challenge, and CNN.com readers shared their own strategies for getting things to grow.
Overheard on CNN.com: Crafty gardeners persist despite climate, pests, limited space
Editor's note: This post is part of the Overheard on CNN.com series, a regular feature that examines interesting comments and thought-provoking conversations posted by the community.
Gardening season is here again. Eatocracy Managing Editor Kat Kinsman wrote an article arguing that there are no excuses why you can't garden, and outlined some ideas. Readers in turn told us ways they overcame difficulties in their yards and pots.
This is the year you garden
Some readers overcame geographic challenges.
Charlotte: "Had a Valencia orange tree growing in my living room for fourteen years in Fairbanks, Alaska. It CAN be done. I was rather surprised, actually. I was eating an orange one day and spitting the seeds into the trash. Looked into the bottom of the trashcan and said to myself 'Hmmm, wonder if they'll grow?' So I put them in a pot with old potting soil and sure enough they sprouted and I got orange trees. Kind of spindly and leggy at first but once I got into the habit of hauling it out onto the deck in the summers, it filled out beautifully. So educational. Before this, I didn't know that citrus grow really big thorns, LOL!"
The same reader suggested consulting the wisdom of the crowd if you need anything.
Charlotte: "Don't forget FreeCycle or equivalent! If you want seeds or seedlings, post an ad on your local freecycle, or put up a note with the little fringes on the bottom w/ your phone number, on a community bulletin board. Say you want to get into gardening and can't afford seeds or seedlings and can any local gardeners help get you started. You will be overwhelmed by the response. I never have room to plant all the seeds in packets I buy and many plants come up in my garden as volunteers year after year. If someone wanted them, I'd be delighted to share rather than throwing away or throwing onto the compost heap!"
There were people who have to grow in small spaces, but they make it work. FULL POST

Hungarian president says he won't resign after plagiarism accusation
Protesters in Hungary are calling for the resignation of President Pal Schmitt after a university he attended said that he plagiarized parts of his doctoral dissertation.
However, in an interview aired Friday on public access television station M1, Schmitt said he would not resign.
"I have a clean conscience. I have written my thesis with my best knowledge I had at the time, and I never intended to plagiarize. However, I will accept the decision of the (University) Senate that has withdrawn my doctorate. But this has got nothing to do with me being a president," he said.
Schmitt, a former Olympic fencing champion, wrote his dissertation in 1992 for the University of Physical Education, which is now part of Semmelweis University in Budapest.
In January 2012, the Hungarian HVG weekly reported that a large part of Schmitt's dissertation was copied.

You're not going to win Mega Millions jackpot
"Never tell me the odds."
- Han Solo in "The Empire Strikes Back"
Look. We know that you're aware the odds of winning Friday night's record-breaking $640 million Mega Millions jackpot, or any Mega Millions jackpot, are astronomical.
We also know that for the people who win it, the odds matter not one bit. Someone is going to win at least a share of the prize - if not Friday, then in some subsequent drawing. But since we're covering the historic jackpot and showing people in long lines giddily talking about how many cars or yachts or Dippin' Dots they'd buy if they win, we feel compelled to remind you:
It's not going to be you.
The odds of a ticket winning a Mega Millions jackpot is 175,711,536 to 1. As Han Solo's talkative robotic friend would tell you, you have a much, much better chance (1 in 3,720!) of navigating an asteroid field successfully. We didn't exactly vet that, but you know you'd smash your ship into the rocks. And who are we to question protocol droids fluent in more than 6 million forms of communication?
To hammer home the point, here are a few other unlikely scenarios that, we're sorry to say, are far more likely than you taking home a jackpot.
From the Harvard School of Public Health:
- Chances of dying from a bee sting: 1 in 6.1 million. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
- Chance you will be die from being struck by lightning: 1 in 3 million. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
From the University of Maryland Medical Center:
- Chance of having conjoined twins: 1 in 200,000. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
From U.S. Hole in One, which insures golf prizes for holes in one:
- The chance of an amateur golfer making a hole in one on a par-3 hole is about 1 in 12,500. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
- The chance of a golfer hitting a hole in one on consecutive par-3 holes: 1 in about 156 million. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
From a 2011 State Farm study on collisions between vehicles and deer:
- The chance of hitting a deer with a vehicle in Hawaii, the state where State Farm says deer-vehicle collisions are least likely, is 1 in 6,267. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
From the National Weather Service:
- The chance of being struck by lightning over an 80-year lifetime: 1 in 10,000. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
From the Florida Museum of Natural History, based on U.S. beach injury statistics in 2000:
- Chance of drowning and other beach-related fatalites: 1 in 2 million. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.
- Chance of being attacked by a shark: 1 in 11.5 million. Chance you will win the Mega Millions jackpot: 1 in 175.7 million.

Clinton, Gulf officials to discuss Syria as tensions soar
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrives in Saudi Arabia on Friday for talks aimed at ending bloodshed in Syria as opposition activists report new shelling and raids in several neighborhoods.
Clinton will meet various Gulf officials, including Saudi's King Abdullah, to discuss bilateral and regional issues. Talks will include continued efforts to end the bloody crackdown against anti- government protesters in Syria.
She will then travel to Istanbul on Saturday and Sunday to attend the second meeting of the "Friends of the Syrian People."
"This meeting will build upon steps that our friends, allies, and the Syrian opposition continue to take in an attempt to halt the slaughter of the Syrian people and pursue a transition to democracy in Syria," the State Department said.
Sarkozy: 19 arrested in French police raids
Nineteen people have been arrested in a series of police raids on suspected Islamist networks, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told French radio Friday morning.
The raids come a week after gunman Mohammed Merah, who killed seven people, was shot dead after a 31-hour siege in the southwestern city of Toulouse.
Sarkozy told Europe 1 the decision to act had been taken by the interior minister and foreign minister "to deny the entry of certain people to France" who did not share the country's values.
"It's not just linked to Toulouse, it's all over the country, it's in connection with a form of radical Islam and it's in agreement with the law," he said.

Sandusky trial postponed
The trial for Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State assistant football coach accused of molesting several boys, has been postponed until June 5.
The trial was scheduled for May 15 but it "must be postponed to accommodate various logistical contingencies," court documents said.
Sandusky's lawyer, Joe Amendola, said the delay may still not be enough time.
"We don't know if we will have all the information we need and are entitled to receive prior to the new trial date, but we will do our very best to be ready to proceed to trial on June 5," Amendola said.
Sandusky, a longtime defensive coordinator for the Nittany Lions, is currently under house arrest as he awaits trial on more than 50 counts of child sexual abuse. He has pleaded not guilty.

Japan says it will shoot down N. Korea rocket over territory
Japan will shoot down any part of the long-range rocket that North Korea plans to launch next month that enters its territory, the Japanese defense minister, Naoki Tanaka, said Friday.
Speaking at a news conference, Tanaka said he had issued the official order after instructing the Japanese military earlier in the week to prepare the country's missile defense shield against the planned rocket launch.
North Korea announced earlier this month that it would launch a rocket carrying a satellite between April 12 and 16 to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kim Il Sung, the founder of the Communist state.
Pyongyang says the operation is for "peaceful purposes," but Japan, the United States and South Korea see the launch as a cover for a long-range ballistic missile test.
Firing the long-range rocket would breach U.N. Security Council resolutions, and Washington has suspended a recent deal to provide food aid to North Korea as a result.

Canada getting rid of the penny to save costs
Canada is ditching production of the penny, saying it costs more to make the coin than it's worth.
As of this fall, the Royal Canadian Mint will cease distributing Canadian pennies, though consumers will still be able to use them for transactions. The change was included in the country's 2012 budget released Thursday.
The budget calls the lowly penny a "burden to the economy."
"It costs the government 1.6 cents to produce each new penny," the budget says, adding the government will save about $11 million a year with its elimination.
Some Canadians, it says, consider the penny more of a nuisance than a useful coin.

Swimming can be dated back to the Stone Age, but did not truly become an organised sport until the early 19th century.
An ancient discipline
Prehistoric man learnt to swim in order to cross rivers and lakes – we know this because cave paintings from the Stone Age depicting swimmers have been found in Egypt. Swimming was also referred to in Greek mythology.
Dawn of a sport
Swimming was not widely practised until the early 19th century, when the National Swimming Society of Great Britain began to hold competitions. Most early swimmers used the breaststroke, or a form of it.
Discovering the crawl
Based on a stroke used by native South Americans, the first version of the crawl featured a scissor kick. In the late 1880s, an Englishman named Frederick Cavill travelled to the South Seas, where he saw the natives performing a crawl with a flutter kick. Cavill settled in Australia, where he taught the stroke that was to become the famous Australian crawl.
Olympic history
Swimming has featured on the programme of all editions of the Games since 1896. The very first Olympic events were freestyle (crawl) or breaststroke. Backstroke was added in 1904.
In the 1940s, breaststrokers discovered that they could go faster by bringing both arms forward over their heads. This practice was immediately forbidden in breaststroke, but gave birth to butterfly, whose first official appearance was at the 1956 Games in Melbourne. This style is now one of the four strokes used in competition.
Women's swimming became Olympic in 1912 at the Stockholm Games. Since then, it has been part of every edition of the Games. The men's and women's programmes are almost identical, as they contain the same number of events, with only one difference: the freestyle distance is 800 metres for women and 1,500 metres for men.
The Fédération Internationale de Natation (FINA) was founded in 1908. Swimming has been contested since the inaugural Modern Olympic Games in 1896.

The major hurdle to jump when considering podcasting is where to host your files. As I mentioned in the first part of this series, creation of your audio project is only step one. Back in the day, you would record your cassette tape and give it to someone. That person would listen to it and return it; or listen to it, copy it, share it, and return it. That process has been made far more efficient and it is much easier to share with an immensely larger audience that can access it when THEY want it, not when you give it to them. Consider this the "pull versus push" scenario. In the "old days" you would "push" media to people. Now, people can "pull" it from a hosting site when they want or need it. In this case, we are going to use Tumblr as our host, our cloud platform from which people are going to pull our material.
There are two ways to use Tumblr as an audio hosting platform. One, you upload a previously created audio file as demonstrated in part 3 of this series. Alternatively, you can use the iPod Touch or iPhone application to record and upload the file wirelessly or via 3G to the Tumblr website. The two videos below will demonstrate both scenarios; the first video will cover the former while the second will cover the latter.
Please comment below with questions, concerns, or comments.
Tumblr can host video files, yet you used Youtube to host the two videos in the blog. Is Youtube a better site to use for hosting videos?

Marlounsly released a single titled, "Senseless," on Friday, May 7th, 2021.
"Senseless" is a retro-funk song. The song gives listeners nostalgia but has a modern-day vibe to it. The single was produced by N Soul. Like many of her songs, it's freestyled. "After a drive home from the studio, it was late night, my friends and I were playing around with beats." Marlounsly continues, "This beat came on and the energy that came out was so pure that I had to record it!" "Senseless" is fun, charismatic, and sexy. The single is yet another example of how Marlounsly is paving her way to becoming a Pop/R&B sensation.

Moon Princess 100 Slot Review
It's been a long time since the first Moon Princess slot was delivered, and this month Play n GO chose to launch two different slot machines with the same theme. The series went from 1 to 3 titles for the time being, and the latest one is called Moon Princess 100. Compared with the original, there are better rewards, the same as graphics and the features have become more exciting.
Moon Princess 100 uses 5×5 reels, and the winning mixes will be formed through 3+ matching images, in any direction (no regular lines available). We're seeing much better rewards from it, up to 15,000x the stake is on the line for one round, obviously, there is additionally high instability. Among its features, you will see wild images, a Trinity reward up to 100x multipliers, and the free spins that will bring them.
You can start as soon as you have chosen the bet for the next spin. A full list of bet values is at the bottom and you can change it at needed, the range is between $0.20 and $60.
The payouts have been improved. There is 5,000x the stake top prize. It's a possibility more like it since it's a highly unpredictable delivery, which will feel punishing for some players.
Moon Princess 100 Slot Features
It very well may be described as a Cluster Pays online slot by a few, however it doesn't quite work like that. You form mixes when 3 to 5 matching images are on a similar column or row. They should be close to one another too. With 5 lines and 5 columns, you can form 10 different mixes at a time.
Image drops occur once a mix forms, so the winning images get taken out. This leaves empty positions on the reels, as no new ones come to replace the old images. Images can be rearranged however, as those from the top will drop down in empty positions, and this can prompt more wins and extra mixes. After each drop, the multiplier gets a boost, and afterward it resets once the round ends.
Among the exceptional images, you will observe that a wild is available and very useful. It both replaces different images, and it can likewise pay directly, up to 50x for every combination of its own.
During losing spins, there are Girl Power modifiers that are capable of triggering, related with the three Moon Princesses. Every one has something different. Love will change a set of images over to another. Star will gift you with 1-2 additional wilds. The storm will eliminate two types of images.
As you go through image drops, you top off a meter by 1-3 positions (for combinations of 3-5 images), and when you have 3 sections full, you gain access to Trinity. In this mode, you get each of the three powers triggering in one spin. The point is to get the free spins rolling, by eliminating all images from the game region.
My favorite feature is the free spins, since you can get an expanding multiplier of up to 100x, and up to 100 rounds altogether (retriggered by filling the meter once more).
It is a similar Animation-style plan as we've found in different slots of this series, they have not changed much there. It will use the three Moon Princesses as its primary characters, so we see their Love, Star, and Storm. The other four images of lower value, as well as a Bell with wings, a Heart Pendant, a Moon logo, and a star. The wild is the another significant image you may get.
Moon Princess 100 doesn't get bring huge upgrades when it comes to design, however it improves payouts and it is as fun as its predecessor. you can play it again if you enjoyed the original, and win up to 15,000x the stake as you play it.

PA Lawmaker Takes Extreme Steps to Stop Gun Control Bills
by sseverino June 29, 2018
One Pennsylvania lawmaker is making it his mission to derail two pieces of legislation proposed in the Pennsylvania Legislature that he believes infringe on the rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment, even if it meant taking extreme measures.
"We're going to do every single thing that we can do to stop the folks in the anti-gun movement of achieving their goals of removing firearms from law-abiding citizens in Pennsylvania," said state Rep. Aaron Bernstine, (R-10, New Beaver).
To that end, Rep. Berstine and his staff worked late into the evening on June 20 to draft 79 amendments to the two measures, and on June 21, Rep. Bernstine filed all 79 amendments.
At issue, are House Bill 1872 and House Bill 2227.
Introduced by state Rep. Madeline Dean, (D-Montgomery County), in October, this piece of legislation seeks to ban "multi-burst trigger activators" such as bump stocks that allow semi-automatic rifles to mimic the firing speed of automatic weapons.
Bernstine believes banning bump stocks sets a bad precedent for the gun rights of law-abiding citizens, especially since such devices have only been used in one mass shooting ever. "We're talking about a slippery slope where people are intending to infringe on Second Amendment rights," he said. "I take that seriously."
HB 2227 was introduced by state Rep. Todd Stephens, (R-Montgomery County), in April. Upon filing this measure, Rep. Stephens released a statement that this bill would create an extreme risk protective order (ERPO) that a court would issue to prohibit someone from possessing guns when they pose an extreme risk to themselves or others. The bill would also require the information be forwarded to the state police to have the individual's name listed on the prohibited person's list for gun purchase background checks.
Under the proposed law, temporary extreme risk protective orders could be issued upon the filing of a petition by law enforcement or a family member against an individual thought to be a danger to himself or others without a hearing. But a final order would require a "full expedited hearing" within ten days, involving the subject of the order, evidence, and testimony.
What is troubling are some of the factors listed in the proposed law that the court could consider in determining whether the individual did indeed pose a threat, including abuse of alcohol, recklessly brandishing a firearm, or even the recent acquisition or attempted acquisition of a firearm, among others.
"Legislation that chips away at our Second Amendment rights will never get my support in the General Assembly, and I'll do everything in my power to stop such attempts in their tracks," Bernstine said.
His attempt began in earnest when he filed his 79 amendments.
"These amendments will drastically revise the original bills to ensure our constitutional right to keep and bear arms is not threatened or questioned," he said, adding, "Our state Constitution is crystal clear when it says citizens' Second Amendment rights 'shall not be questioned.' I took an oath to defend and protect our Constitution, and I take that very seriously."
While not a filibuster, Bernstine acknowledged his tactics may have the same effect, forcing the House into lengthy debates on each amendment unless the bills were shelved.
"I'm confident that what we did will stop anti-gun legislation from moving forward," stated Bernstine, who had vowed to "use any and all legislative tactics available to defeat these attempts to infringe on the rights of law-abiding gun owners."

Principal Sarah Davis recently gave an overview and current-year update to the Board about the Hospital School Program.
This school year, the Hospital School Program has provided services to 1200 students receiving care at area hospitals including Shriners, OHSU Doernbecher, Randall Children's Hospital, Providence Willamette Falls, Providence Meridian Park and Unity Center for Behavioral Health.
Instruction periods vary from one day to 100 days, depending on the type of care students receive. Staff members participate in interdisciplinary meetings with hospital teams to create instruction plans for students based on length of stay and treatment.
Barnes & Noble, an ongoing and generous partner of the Randall Hospital School Program, selected the hospital program as recipients of the holiday book drive. The collaborative, annual effort to collect book donations from generous customers has made it possible for the Randall classroom to develop a hospital-wide literacy program. This year, the focus is on filling their brand-new bookshelf with high-quality, informational texts for K-12th grade students. It will be the centerpiece of their trauma-informed reading space for students. The Randall educational staff gave a presentation about the school program at an all-employee meeting at the Lloyd Center branch on November 4. This served to deepen the partnership with Barnes & Noble and to give their community a clearer idea about how the books have had a significant impact on the diverse population of students at Randall Children's Hospital.

Honduras on 'Red Alert' for Number of Women Murdered in 2017
18 killed in 10 days.
AP Photo/Esteban Felix
Berta Zuñiga was one of the lucky ones. Her mother, Berta Cáceres, was not.
Zuñiga, an environmental and indigenous rights activist in Honduras, survived an armed attack on Tuesday, after men wielding machetes tried to force her vehicle off the road by ramming it with their pickup truck, the Guardian reported. Her mother, Berta Cáceres, a famed activist and former vice presidential candidate, was killed in 2016 after opposing dam-building and logging projects slated to take place on ancestral lands.
Cáceres, a leading voice on women's rights in a country ruled by military dictatorship and suffering from impunitive violence, was just one of a rising number of women killed in Honduras in recent years.
Routine, everyday violence against women less well-known than Zuñiga and her mother has reached epidemic levels throughout Honduran society.
Take Action: Tell World Leaders to Redouble Their Efforts By Amending Laws to Prevent Sexual Violence
As of Tuesday, the country is on "red alert" for femicide, TeleSur reports. Since the start of 2017, 140 women have been killed, according to estimates by the Movimiento de Mujeres por la Paz (Women's Movement for Peace).
The "red alert" was raised by 50 woman at 20 leading human rights organizations, who stood outside of the Public Ministry in the capital city of Tegucigalpa on Tuesday in protest, according to TeleSur.
"We have declared a 'red alert' because 18 women have been killed in 10 days," one of the organizers of the protest, Suyapa Martinez, told AFP.

Violence against women is a rising problem in Honduras, the murder capital of the world. According to a report submitted to the UN, femicides rose by more than 250% between 2005 and 2013 — with violence against women in 2013 amounting to one murder every 14 hours.
Rising murder rates against women, however, have been largely met with impunity.

In 2016, according to the TeleSur report, only 15 of 463 murders against women were investigated by authorities — less than 5%.
"Honduras is a very, very dangerous place for women," Elida Caballero Cabrera, an advocacy advisor at the Center for Reproductive Rights, told Vice News in May of this year. "It's a country that lives in extreme poverty and in constant war and lack of security."
Violence against women in Honduras is not limited to murder. In 2013, according to one report, a sexual assault claim was filed every three hours, and in 2014 nearly four in five adolescent girls in a relationship reported having been submitted to sexual violence of some kind.
Read More: These Are the Worst Countries to Be a Woman
Throughout Latin America, rates of violence against women, including femicide, are among the highest in the world, according to UN Women. Fourteen of the world's 25 countries with the highest rates of femicide are in Latin America, the organization found.
In Honduras, protesters have won some small gains.
In January of 2016, TeleSur reported, the government put together a special investigative unit to investigate femicides, allocating $1.5 million USD to the project.
But for many protesters, it will take more than that to truly slow the merciless drumbeat of femicide in the country.
"We struggle, we are women who fight," Honduran feminist artist Melissa Cardoza told TeleSur in 2015. "We do not forget their names, or their actions, we do not forgive."
