There are no trend-chasers at the small, consistently packed Giant—no theme, no mission other than to serve high-impact fare.
Deeply layered flavors, all-over-the-map menu of tiny and medium plates that you can't stop ordering.
Giant's long, 44-seat room may seem ironic, given its relative sardine-can proportions to other lauded restaurants, but don't let its size fool you. Effortlessly minimal and stylish—white-washed brick opposite modern wood-paneling, simple gray and yellow banquets—Giant crackles with energy, as the place is consistently packed.
Since opening in 2016, Giant has been one of the hardest tables to snag in town. Diners are excited to eat at the spot, ordering extra from the dessert, cocktail, and bar menus just to linger a little longer. From Loop dwellers who seldom venture out of Fulton Market and River North to travelers staying in nearby Airbnbs, to suburbanites out on the town, they're all clamoring for a seat.
Josh Perlman, an alum of Avec, manages the tight beverage list, with an intriguing selection of food-friendly wines. There's nary a Napa cabernet or chardonnay to be found, though plenty of syrah, cinsault, and trousseau from throughout the state. Other selections are decidedly playful, like Fabien Jouves' 2014 'You #&*% My Wine?' a so-called table wine made from jurançon noir, indigenous to south western France, or experimental wine outfit Minimus' chardonnay from Oregon, 'Dijon Free,' a reference to its lack of the all-too-common chardonnay strain from Dijon, France. Cocktails, too, are straightforward, as in a negroni made with mezcal, a blood orange-and-cava spritz, and a sloe berry gin and tonic.
Chef-partners Jason Vincent and Ben Lustbader man the energetic spot, turning out seemingly a menu of 15-20 seemingly disconnected small and medium plates. The common denominator is the chef's commitment to flavor. There are no trend-chasers here—no theme, no mission other than to serve high-impact fare. The perennial signature dish, the "sortallini," is an envelope of pasta encasing guanciale, cheese and pine nuts, coated in a simple basil-and-tomato sauce. The name is a wink to the kitchen's distaste for the wasted pasta inherent in cutting out circles of pasta, hence the shape. Other pastas, whether king crab tagliatelle, a carrot-ricotta ravioli, are excellent. But so are the shatteringly crisp, parmesan-battered onion rings, impossibly flaky biscuit (also square-shaped), and tender, pecan-smoked baby back ribs—primal, textural, and unexpectedly flavorful, given each item's humble nature.
Charming and so wholly unpretentious, by order of the kitchen, Giant's staff is as much a draw as the food. Cheerful and enthusiastic about the menu, servers tag-team tables, running out food as it is needed, or offering concise insight on the wine list.
Giant is special—no need to make an occasion out of it. Just go, and be glad you did.

Karan Johar's production venture Kalank is all to set to hit the screens on April 17. Ahead of the release, Karan held a special screening of the period drama in Mumbai.
The screening, which was held on Sunday night, was attended by the likes of Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sonakshi Sinha, Kunal Kemmu and Manish Malhotra among others.
While the story of the Abhishek Varman directorial is still under wraps, the movie boasts of magnificent sets, comparable to the likes of Sanjay Leela Bhansali movies. Kalank also marks the coming together of Madhuri Dixit Nene and Sanjay Dutt, who have earlier worked together in Saajan and Khalnayak.

Despite multiple stars, Kalank seems to primarily revolve around the star-crossed lovers played by Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan. Alia and Varun share a great chemistry and have previously collaborated on Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Badrinath Ki Dulhania and Student of the Year.
Speaking about her experience on the movie sets, Alia had earlier told Mid-day, "Varun (Dhawan) makes me feel comfortable at work and that's essential because this is a difficult film. There is moral support when work gets overwhelming. I was shooting Brahmastra and Kalank simultaneously, some days were just impossible to get by."
Kalank has been jointly produced by Karan Johar, Sajid Nadiadwala, Hiroo Yash Johar and Apoorva Mehta.

David The Student Accused of Conning Kenyans in The Diaspora
By Richard Kamau / Thursday, 16 Aug 2018 06:46AM / Leave a Comment / Tags: Conman, David The Student, Diaspora
Comedian David Kangingo alias David the Student is once again making headlines for all the wrong reasons. Barely two years after he was accused by one Grace Mboya of conning her Sh188,650, the former Churchill Show comedian is facing similar accusations from a number of Kenyans living in the U.S.
One Frank Njoroge kickstarted the onslaught against David the Student on Facebook, writing: "I want to notify you of a conman who has given some of us a hard time here in the diaspora. Comedian David the Student has taken money from our pockets in the pretense of either his dad is sick of cancer, his relatives hospitalized in a coma and so many other things. I introduced him to the owner of Rafikiz Restaurant in Seattle to host him after he fell out with his promoter Steve Mbugua after he (Steve) received complains from people David has conned in the name of his promoter."
Another lender who did not want to be named told Word Is, "He actually borrowed money from me and I threatened him and pretty much forced his promoter to pay me some of the money from his paycheck.
"I don't know know how he expects to ever get any gigs in the US again…and the people he is stealing from are the people who took care of him when he was here. We drove the guy around, took him out, and then he does this sh*t."
Screenshots of the comedian allegedly soliciting money from multiple people have also been leaked. In one exchange, David the Student reportedly wrote: "My dad's car broke down on the way to Nakuru. He's stuck on the road and it's late in the night. Help me with 3k, please.
In another one he wrote; " My dad woke me up. Ako Nakuru hajui huku ni saa ngapi. I need a favour, loan me $100, I will refund."
David, who lives in the U.S, took to social media to respond to the allegations, admitting that he owes people money. He, however, denied asking for money under the pretext of his dad being sick.
"It is true I borrowed money but I have never told anyone my dad has cancer! I apologize to everyone I borrowed and those who lent me money and I've not refunded. I take full responsibility and I am ashamed. There's so much pressure being on TV to live a certain life but in the real sense it's crazy. Comedy in Kenya doesn't pay."
David the Student later pulled down the post and replaced it with:

His True Colors Chapter 919-920
His True Colors Chapter 919
Chen Yuanhai nodded, this was the only way he could think of at the moment, since there was speculation in this regard, he should go and confirm it, in case Han 3000 was really a strong man, he might be able to find a way to save it.
"Since there is a possibility in this regard, it's good to confirm it," Chen Yuanhai said.
Although Chen Tiesin felt that the possibility of this matter was minimal, but since Chen Yuanhai had asked for this, he had no choice but to comply, and if the corpse was really in the Chen residence, it wouldn't be difficult for his servants to find it.
Of course, in his heart he didn't want Han Qianxiang to be a strong man, because not only did he despise Han Qianxiang, but he also had an irreconcilable grudge against Han Qianxiang, so if Han Qianxiang was really a strong man, it wouldn't be a blow to Chen Tiesin, and if he offended such a person, Chen Tiesin would have a hard time in the future.
At the same time, Chen Yanran's personal maid had already left the Chen residence, although Chen Tiesin ordered her to keep an eye on Chen Yanran, but forced by Chen Yanran's pressure, the maid had to do so, after all, this big miss is not something she can offend.
Han Three Thousand Year's Boundaries.
Bai Ling Wan'er asked to stay in the same room as Han 3000, but after being forcefully refused by Han 3000, Bai Ling Wan'er had to clean the room next door to Han 3000, so it was a good thing that the amount of work wasn't too big and it wasn't a difficult task for Bai Ling Wan'er.
But there was one thing that made Bai Ling Wan'er very unconvinced, because whenever a man saw her, his eyes would be filled with lust, and this desire was to possess her, but Han Qianxiang didn't reflect this in the slightest, and Bai Ling Wan'er doubted herself for the first time.
Could it be that what she was able to attract was just some ordinary men?
A truly powerful person like Han Giangli doesn't even look at her?
Looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Bai Ling Wan'er deliberately flipped her long sideburn hair behind her ears, her delicate face free of any flaws, her beauty was almost deathless, but why would Han Qianqian refuse her initiative to throw herself at her?
"Is it, like the other adults said, that he doesn't have that ability at all?" Bai Ling Wan'er speculated to herself.
"If I can't tempt her with beauty, what else can I do?" Bai Ling Wan'er looked like she was hanging her head in shame.
Beauty didn't work, and even the Bai Ling Family's secret treasury was unable to move Han Sangsan, which made Bai Ling Wan'er feel helpless.
But she couldn't give up on becoming Han Three Thousand's disciple, because not only was Han Three Thousand the strongest person she had seen so far in her life, but she believed that Han Three Thousand's realm was incomparable to even those experts of the Imperial Court, and such a person was most suitable to become her master.
Of course, a husband was also possible, but it was a pity that he wasn't a real man, and it was even less realistic to become a couple.
"Do you know how to cook?" At this moment, Han Qianqian walked to the door of the room and asked Bai Ling Wan'er.
Although Bai Ling Wan'er was born into a noble family, her nurse had secretly left after nursing her only until she was ten, and for the next six years, Bai Ling Wan'er had lived alone, her cooking skills honed long ago.
"It will." Bai Ling Wan'er said.
"I'll leave the cooking at home to you in the future." Han Giangli said.
"With what? I'm not your disciple, much less your wife, so why should I cook for you." Bai Ling Wan'er looked unconvinced and said to Han Giangli.
"If you don't cook, you have a second choice, which is to leave my home, so why should I let you live here for nothing?" Han Giangli said.
Bai Ling Wan'er was suddenly discouraged and could only say, "I'm just saying casually, don't take it seriously."
"I'm just saying casually too." Han Qianli laughed.
This little girl thought of bargaining with him all the time, but how could she have the qualifications to bargain, how could she not bow her head when she was a parasite.
Bai Ling Wan'er's cooking skills were good, and while Han Qianqian was tidying up the flower garden in the courtyard, she soon smelled the aroma coming from the kitchen and couldn't help but walk to the kitchen.
Watching Bai Ling Wan'er's skillful operation, Han Giangli smiled and said, "I didn't think you were really good at it, it looks like there's still some value in having you stay."
"If you can make me an apprentice or wife, I can cook you more delicious food." Bai Ling Wan'er spread her face and smiled charmingly.
"When can we start eating?" Han Three Thousand couldn't help but ask.
When Bai Ling Wan'er saw Han Qianli deliberately avoiding her topic, she wasn't angry, anyway, as long as she could stay by Han Qianli's side, she still had a chance, and as long as she was persistent, she could grind a pestle into a needle.
Just as dinner was being prepared, another uninvited guest came to the other courtyard.
As Yanran Chen's personal maid, Han Three Thousand was also very familiar with her, but Chen Tiesin had just left a foot before and this maid had come again, leaving Han Three Thousand somewhat confused.
"What are you doing here?" Han Qianli asked in a calm tone.
When the maid saw Bai Ling Wan'er, she was furious, she didn't expect Han Qianli, who had just been kicked out of the Chen family, to find another lover so quickly, but more importantly, this woman's looks were not at all inferior to the lady, and she didn't know how Han Qianli, a trash, had managed to fool this girl.
"My lady wants to see you." The maid said in a cold voice.
"I'm no longer related to her, am I right, if she wants to see me, I have to visit her, what kind of reasoning is that?" Han Marchant said.
"Miss is grounded, so she can't leave the Chen residence, but these days, Miss has been looking for you." The maid said, she was able to leave the Chen residence, but she also had to grind her lips and find many excuses, under the surveillance of Chen Tiesin's men, the chances of Yanran Chen wanting to leave the Chen residence were almost nil.
"Looking for me?" Han Qianqian looked at the maid in confusion, there was no affection between him and Yanran Chen, and this Miss Chen, who could never have real feelings for him, how could she find him for no reason?
"If Miss hadn't saved you in the first place, you'd be dead now, and now that Miss wants to see you, shouldn't you go see her out of gratitude?" The maid said.
Although Han Three Thousand didn't know what it was like when he was unconscious, he had been unconscious for a long time, and if it wasn't for Yanran Chen, he might have actually died.
Although Yanran Chen had a purpose for leaving him behind, saving his life was something that Han 3000 could not deny.
"Did she say what she was looking for me for? And the current Chen residence isn't something I can go to just because I want to, right?" Han Marchant said.
"You disguise yourself as a servant and I can take you into the Chen residence, but as for what the lady is looking for, I don't know." The servant girl said.
"Don't go."
Before Han Marchan could reply, the frosty-faced Bai Ling Wan'er spoke up.
She didn't want Han Three Thousand to meet any woman right now, and to Bai Ling Wan'er, any woman who came close to Han Three Thousand was a threat to her.
Han 3000 smiled helplessly, the hostility Bai Ling Wan'er showed was like someone trying to steal her husband from her, this little ninny wouldn't really think of herself as a candidate for husband in her heart, would she?
"Who are you to speak here?" The maid looked at Bai Ling Wan'er with a cold face, she was already very dissatisfied with Bai Ling Wan'er's appearance, but now Bai Ling Wan'er dared to interject without a reason, this was a bump towards the gun, giving her the opportunity to berate Bai Ling Wan'er.
"I'm her wife." Bai Ling Wan'er said.
The maid gritted her teeth, although she had speculated about this when she saw Bai Ling Wan'er, but she didn't expect it to be true.
It had only been a short time since Han Qianqiang had been kicked out of the Chen family residence, and he had found a new woman so quickly, this was not caring about the lady's feelings at all ah.
"Don't listen to her nonsense, we're just friends, not going over to see Yan Chen, in my opinion, there's indeed no need, what I owe her has actually been replaced to her already." Han Qianli said indifferently, not to mention that Wang Xie and his family had gone to threaten Chen Yanran, just in the middle of the Dragon Rock Mountain Range, Han Qianli had saved Chen Yanran's life.
One life for one life, the two were already considered to have cleared the air.
"Han Three Thousand Year, do you have to be so ungrateful?" The maid gritted her teeth and said.
"Ungrateful?" Han Giangli couldn't help but laugh, being kicked out of the Chen residence, even though it was Chen Tiesin's doing, Yanran Chen must have acquiesced to it.
Since Yanran Chen had already taken the initiative to draw the line between the two of them, how could they talk about the word ungrateful?
"Isn't it true, Miss lost her soul for you, how can you be so heartless." The maid said.
Losing your soul?
Han Qianqian didn't understand the meaning of the maid's words, there had never been a moment of emotion between him and Chen Yanran, and Chen Yanran had always treated him like a stranger, so how could she lose her mind over him?
It might have made sense if there had been a longer period of contact and Yan Chen had fallen in love with Han Giang, but between the two of them, there was no emotional exchange, and they even saw each other for very little time.
"She can't be looking for me because she's in love with me, what exactly is it for?" Han Qianqian asked.
"Miss won't say anything, even when the young master wanted to ask, Miss kept her mouth shut, but she said there were some things she wanted to find you in order to confirm." The maid said.
To confirm certain things?
Han Giangli frowned, could it be that his strength had been accidentally exposed and Yanran Chen had discovered it?
If that was the case, Yan Chen's loss of consciousness would be explained.
After all, if she knew she was a strong man, it wouldn't be impossible for her to come back to her senses, or to want to return to the Chen residence herself.
But the Chen residence was nothing more than an optional life experience for Han Qianli, and he didn't care.
"Tell your lady that there's no need for me to meet with her, so go away." Han Third Thousand directly issued an eviction order.
Seeing that the maid still didn't want to leave, Bai Ling Wan'er stood up, walked over to the maid, and said in a high and mighty voice, "Can't you understand human language, so hurry up and leave."
The maid was a servant of the Chen family's residence, as the saying goes, even if you beat a dog, you have to look at the master, how could she endure a young girl talking to her in such a posture.
"What kind of a thing are you, why should I listen to you." The maid looked at Bai Ling Wan'er with cold eyes.
Although Bai Ling Wan'er was still a girl, she was born into the Bai Ling family and had an innate strong spirit, and she had already looked at this maid with displeasure, because the maid's eyes when she looked at Han Qianqian had an inescapable contempt, as if she had deliberately underestimated Han Qianqian.
Slap!
Bai Ling Wan'er slapped the maid's face with a loud slap and said in a cold voice, "Hurry up and leave, or else I won't be polite to you."
The maid covered her face and looked at Bai Ling Wan'er incredulously, she never thought that Bai Ling Wan'er would dare to do anything to her.
"Dead girl, I'll make you regret it and make you kneel before me and apologize." The maid let out harsh words.
Bai Ling Wan'er raised her hand again, not at all intending to be polite to the maid.
When the maid saw this, she could only spread her legs and ran away.
Returning to the table to continue eating, Bai Ling Wan'er, who had beaten someone, acted as if nothing had happened.
But the air pressure at the dining table had clearly become much lower.
"What is her lady's relationship with you?" After a long period of silence, Bai Ling Wan'er finally couldn't help but ask Han Qianli, who seemed to be a bit jealous from her tone.
"The former couple's relationship, and it's still the nominal kind, and Yan Chen only uses me as a tool to use." Han Giangli said.
"Nothing really happened?" Bai Ling Wan'er looked at Han Qianqian questioningly.
Han Qianqian put down the chopsticks and said indifferently, "There's no need for me to explain these things to you, right, and you're not in a position to meddle in my meddling."
Bai Ling Wan'er bit her teeth, it was true that the current her had no position to meddle in these matters, but the other women were related to Han Qianli, and her heart was somehow very uncomfortable, like the feeling that her beloved thing was about to be taken away from her.
"You can't have a relationship with any woman but me," Bai Ling Wan'er said.
"Right, I forgot to tell you, I've actually already gotten married, and I even have a child." Han Qianli smiled, although Su Yingxia and Han Nian weren't from Xuanyuan World, but in Han Qianli's concept, whether it was Earth or Xuanyuan World, it wouldn't affect his loyalty to Su Yingxia.
Bai Ling Wan'er's face was pale, she never would have thought that Han 3000 would already be a married man and a father.
But soon, Bai Ling Wan'er's face eased, in Xuanyuan World, polygamy was the norm, and even if Han 3000 had a wife and children, it wouldn't affect her from becoming Han 3000's woman.
Although Bai Ling Wan'er felt that she could become Han 3000's wife or disciple regardless of whether she became Han 3000's wife or disciple, she obviously wanted to become a wife even more, because only then would she be able to bind Han 3000 and herself together completely, and be able to obtain Han 3000's help in avenging the White Spirit Family.
"Bai Ling Wan'er, I know you want me to help you take revenge, but it's not the best way to do it, and between you and me, it's absolutely impossible." Before Han 3000 left the table, he said to Bai Ling Wan'er, which was considered a very resolute statement of his attitude.
However, Bai Ling Wan'er pretended not to hear it in general, not caring at all.

MISSING IN KANSAS: Jackie Hay cold case
Thursday, August 30, 2018 12:53 PM EDT
written by Annette Lawless
alawless@kake.com
Follow @AnnetteLawless
(KAKE) -
It's been 37 years since Jackie Hay was last seen.
She was playing with kids on the afternoon of Sept. 12, 1981, near her home at Colfax and Golf Park. When an older brother went to bring Jackie back inside, he could not find her. Jackie, 5, had vanished.
Her father, Olen Hay, said Jackie was a bright girl who started kindergarten the week before.
"She sounded like an adult on the phone. Oh, she was just like grown up and outgoing. Just an awesome kid," he said.
SEARCH FOR JACKIE
Even to this day, Olen remembers it all vividly. Their family called police for help, but it took hours before the department started an official search, Olen said.
Investigators believe Jackie was likely abducted, and Olen's fear is that with so much time that passed, his daughter could be anywhere.
In 1981, hundreds of people helped look for the girl, including officers, firefighters, the Kansas National Guard, horseback riders and neighbors. They looked in a heavily wooded area near the family's residence, abandoned homes and other possibilities.
"They went everywhere," Olen said. "Little creeks and timber. Yes. there's a wooded area over there. I mean if there was something there, I'm sure they would have found it."
The week she went missing, Topeka Police Det. Tom Lemon tells the Topeka Capital-Journal they had dozens of tips and calls,
"It's getting frustrating," he said in the September 1981 news report. "We're getting a lot of calls, but we don't have any leads. It's kind of like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Olen said he was touched by how everyone responded to helping the family, including her mom, dad and four siblings.
"Oh. Everybody brought food and…" Olen said, as he started to get choked up during our recent interview with him.
Nothing turned up. The searches were called off about two weeks after Jackie disappeared.
Annette Lawless
A POSSIBLE SUSPECT
There were many eyewitness accounts on what happened that day. In addition to interviewing kids who were playing with Jackie, one tip came from a water department employee. The worker was responding to a service call in the area. He spoke to a man who flagged him down to ask a question. According to Capital Area Crime Stoppers, the worker said he had seen the man with a little girl matching the description of Jackie.
Other witnesses saw a gray van down the street, which may have been involved in the abduction.
That day, police brought in a potential suspect for questioning about the case. He reportedly was questioned for a few hours and was released. The man lived in the neighborhood, according to an article in the Capital-Journal.
INVESTIGATING MORE CLUES
Ret. Maj. Jerry Young was one of the first officers on scene. He went through the neighborhood to talk to people about the missing girl.
A few years after the abduction, he said the Topeka Police Department got a tip about her body being in a field in an area surrounding Topeka. Police brought out search dogs to look for Jackie's remains, but they could not find anything, he said during an episode of Capitol Cold Cases – a program with KTWU and Capital Area Crime Stoppers.
Back in 2011, a tipster called Crime Stoppers about the cold case abduction. Crime Stoppers tried to get in touch with the tipster again, hoping to figure out what happened to the girl.
As time moves on, there's a lack of hope for the family.
Jackie's mom, Judith, passed away in February 2007. At her grave site, she shares a headstone with Jackie.
If alive, Jackie would be 43 years old, having celebrated her birthday on Feb. 17.
Olen, now in his mid-70's, believes his daughter was killed. He hopes new information will come forward, so his family can have closure.
"Is there something that you would like to say to that person? If someone knows that information, or even a person who took her?," KAKE News Anchor Annette Lawless asked Olen.
"I believe in karma," he responded. "Karma will take care of it."
Jackie Hay hasn't been seen since Sept. 12, 1981. The five-year-old vanished as her family was preparing for an outing in Shawnee County. It's believed that she was abducted from the front yard of her home in southeast Topeka.
Back in 2011, a tipster called Topeka Crime Stoppers about the cold case abduction. Crime Stoppers tried to get in touch with the tipster again, hoping to figure out what happened to Hay.
JACKIE HAY
Missing from: Topeka, Kan.
Missing since: Sept. 12, 1981

BASSETT HOUSE APPAREL
Building opportunities for the groups that Hollywood often leaves out is the optimal quest. A communal, safe space for creatives to feel heard or seen is the gift. This is your opportunity to be a roomie, aka part of the Woomie movement. Welcome to Bassett House Apparel. Wipe your feet off, and come on in. Let's build.
Bassett House Apparel was created out of necessity. Simply, it is an homage to a Los Angeles community of artists that was visualized between a group of transplants once living on Bassett Street. Cue, Woomie Collection. Woomie: a play on the consummate roomie, is an athleisure line that intertwines comfort and sustainability while supporting filmmakers' journeys into producing content. The small capsule documents the journey faced by Elie and his roomies during this transitional, pivotal moment in their lives—and innovates the idea of withstanding the test of time while building from the ground up.
Each piece creates a vintage feel using prewashed, pretreated fabrics in deep muted tones. These tones suggest a grounding to the earth and reinterprets the idea of creating a sustainable place to grow roots; two concepts Elie once yearned for in his pursuit of creating his tribe. The clean lines and simple design remind us of a peace that we all seek during these chaotic times. The soft materials are to be worn anywhere and emphasize that, even in transition, you can find comfort. Donning each piece in the capsule are the roomies from the Bassett House commune. All proceeds from purchases of this collection are recycled into the Bassett House production house to help fund independent films from marginalized groups.
"When you put on a Bassett House t-shirt, you know that you helped create something great from someone unrecognizable. It's a shout out to all the people that lifted you up. That's what Bassett House is saying…I GOT YOU."

Have passwords etc stored in password manager with a master password set.
security.enterprise_roots.enabled manages to hide all saved usernames and passwords with a master pwd set.
These settings should not be related.
I should be able to view all my stored usernames and passwords even with enterprise_roots set.
If I disable I can't get out on internet, if I enable I can't see my passwords for sites.
this is reproducible and seems to have regressed by bug 1424392.
another symptom is that in good builds firefox asks you for your master password just when you're about to view saved logins. in broken builds after 1424392 there is already a box asking the master password at the start of the session.
keeler, can you take this on, or help find an owner? I don't know how common this might be on release, but from the severity of data loss (losing all passwords) I'm going to mark it a release blocker for now.
I'd be happy to, but I can't reproduce this. :philipp - did you have to do anything special to reproduce the bug? I installed beta 59, set a master password, stored a username/password, set security.enterprise_roots.enabled to true (and made sure there was something to import), restarted Firefox, and it remembered the username/password just fine.
no further special steps were involved unfortunately. i've tested it on a german windows 10 64bit OS with a new firefox profile on 59.0b5 and the same steps you've performed as well (i didn't have anything particular customizations in the windows cert store to import though).
Just a guess but do you have any accented characters or spaces in your Fx profile folder path?
hm, i'm not able to reproduce it on another device indeed. i don't have the affected one with me at the moment, but on top of my head i'm sure that there aren't accents and fairly positive no spaces in the profile path either, but i will need to double-check that early next week.
i have no special characters at all in the folder path after double-checking it. i can reproduce it on some devices but not others and couldn't detect any pattern there... is there anything more in particular i could try to diagnose/debug the issue?
Andrei can your team try to reproduce this and if you can reproduce it, give us more STR? Thanks!
I managed to reproduce this issue by following the steps in comment 0.
Note*: It seems that I can only reproduce this issue using Windows machines running on the following version: 10 Pro 1709 16299.192. I couldn't reproduce this issue on Windows 10 Pro 1703 15063877 version.
1. Launch Firefox with a clean profile.
2. Create a Master Password.
3. Save some credentials (ex. from twitter).
4. Change the security.enterprise_roots.enabled to true.
After performing the above steps, the master password is displayed as soon as the session starts, the saved passwords are not displayed and I also encountered the same error as Phillip in comment 4.
My bad (I verified on 2 machines, thinking that one had Kaspersky and the other one had AVG installed. But it turned out that both machines had AVG installed).
Indeed,this issue seems to reproduce on machines with AVG 17.9.3040 installed. It seems that disabling the Web&Email protection (Disabling both Web Shield and Email Shield) or disabling AVG entirely solves this issue.
I attached another log (in case you need it).
i'm attaching the log from one of my affected devices (without any particular av software other than windows defender) as well in case it helps.
Thanks, Emil! According to this https://support.avg.com/answers?id=9060N000000U6ILQA0 the 18.2 update might fix the issue - can you check?
if there's anything else i can try to debug the issue please let me know.
Have to systems having the same bug (using the same profile path - but as soon as I recreate a new profile path the bug still occurs).
It seems that the 18.2 update for AVG is not available for Windows 10 (for now at least).
I'll keep an eye on the AVG update to see if that solves the issue, in the meanwhile I'll try reproducing it on machines that don't have AVG installed.
keeler, does this help? It still sounds serious, since we can reproduce it with AVG consistently.
I'll see if I can reproduce on my machine now that we have more details. However, I don't think the odds are good we'll be able to do much to protect against various av products messing with our certificate databases - the solution might be to have them fix their implementations.
Lukas, I wonder if your team can take a look at this issue.
On further discussion it sounds like we don't ship with this preference on by default. That makes this more of an edge case, and users can recover from it by flipping the pref back.
So, I no longer consider this to block 59.
curiously i cannot reproduce the issue anymore on two win10 devices without particular av software that were consistently showing the issue before, perhaps some external windows/defender update played a role in this.
So it seems that AVG updated to 18.2.3046 on my Windows 10 machine.
Unfortunately this issue is still reproducible by following the steps mentioned in comment 10.
Yes, we should probably try and fix this for ESR60. The problem is I still can't reproduce this. Emil - is there some way of getting me a vm image or maybe even physical machine that this reproduces on?
Sure thing! We shall discuss this in private.
Did you have any luck reproducing?
Yes - I've reproduced the bug on the machine I've been given access to. The logs aren't elucidating, so I'll probably have to make some custom builds and dig a bit deeper. Haven't had time to complete that yet. I'll keep everyone updated with my progress.
This problem is happening with a banking security module called Warsaw (www.dieboldnixdorf.com.br/gas-antifraude), used by some banks in Brazil. The module forces "security.enterprise_roots.enabled" to true. If I switch back to false, there is no possibility to log in to the bank's website.
we got multiple support requests form users about this in the past couple of days that were using bullguard antivirus-software. apparently that product now flips the pref too.
is an issue in practice.
This appears to be a broader issue with "managed" machines, at least on Macs. My company uses VMware AirWatch. Brand-new laptop, fresh install of Firefox 59.0.2. Copied over the contents of the active profile folder from the previous laptop (old, Win7, Firefox 59.0.3) as I have done every time I've moved to a new machine since the Mozilla 0.9 days 15 years ago. I have moved between Windows and OS X/macOS, and vice-versa successfully, countless times. Yet this time, I was not prompted for the Master Password for saved logins from the very first launch of Firefox on the new machine. Took a fair amount of Googling to arrive at this bug report. I have verified the same behavior with Nightly as well, so it doesn't appear to be restricted to ESR builds as suggested in Comment #33 above.
I'm not a big fan of how `TrustLoaded3rdPartyRoots` and `UnloadFamilySafetyRoot` both lock `mMutex` themselves, but `UnloadEnterpriseRoots` and `ImportEnterpriseRootsForLocation` defers it to the caller, asking for a proof of lock.
I am guessing it's a minor optimization to avoid locking the mutex on `ifdef`'d out platforms. I'm not sure that rare occasion the pref changes or whatnot is worth the maintenance inconsistency here.
Eh, more of an oversight, really. It doesn't make sense for UnloadEnterpriseRoots to take a lock proof because it's not called in a context where we already have a lock any longer. For ImportEnterpriseRootsForLocation I think it still makes sense, though, since it's being called three times in a row.
Ok - I consolidated the windows-specific things so we should have less of this from now on.
Thank you! Turns out there was something in the Windows 7 profile folder that wouldn't work on the Mac. Everything worked when I copied over just the key4.db file.
This issue is no longer reproducible using Firefox 62.0a1 (BuildId:20180514220126) by following the steps mentioned in comment 10.
Thanks for the verification, Emil!
David, I think we're ready for Beta/ESR60 approval requests here? It grafts cleanly to Beta as-landed, but will need a rebased patch for ESR60.
Attachment #8974207 - Flags: approval-mozilla-beta?
Risk to taking this patch (and alternatives if risky): in theory an https load that relied on trusting an enterprise root could finish (and thus fail) before the event tick that trusts imported roots, but I think this is unlikely (the network would have to be very fast and the client would have to be very slow). In any case, if this happens, the user can just refresh the page and it should work.
Attachment #8975998 - Flags: approval-mozilla-esr60?
Pretty nasty issue for users under reasonably common use cases, approved for 61.0b6.
This issue is verified fixed using Firefox 61.0b6 (BuildId:20180517141400) on Windows 10 64bit as well. Used the same AV's mentioned in Comment 51.
The issue is verified as fixed using Firefox 60.1.0 ESR build.

Q: Is there any disadvantage to using Oracle's Easy Connect syntax? Oracle allows a few different syntaxes for specifying where to find your database service. The one I've seen most commonly (in the few short years I've been developing software professionally) looks something like this:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=myserver)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVER=DEDICATED)(SERVICE_NAME=myservice)))

I don't think this syntax has any particular name, but it is what Oracle generates in its TNS files if you use graphical tools to modify it. But Oracle also allows the following much more compact syntax, at least with tools like SQL*Plus and application divers:
myserver:1521/myservice

This is known as Easy Connect, and I have read that it was introduced by Oracle 10g. That makes it around 10 years old. I'm not sure if this can be used in a TNS file, and as short and simple as it is, I don't see much need to put it in a TNS file. Which is the good thing about it in my opinion: you can just use it directly with your application instead of needing to maintain a TNS file.
However, from the work I've done and the clients I've worked with, its usage seems to be rather uncommon. The only reason I even know about it is because ESRI started recommending its usage for establishing connections in newer versions of ArcGIS. That leaves me wondering why it's uncommon, so is there some kind of downside to using Easy Connect that I'm missing?
(I'd appreciate if someone could add more tags. I couldn't think of/find any more that made sense.)

A: The only real downside is that there are a number of configuration options that you can put in a TNS alias that you can't use when you use the easy connect syntax.  Easy connect is designed to simplify the syntax for simple connections.  In order to do that, though, it loses the ability to create more complex TNS aliases that do things like load balancing/ failover or that request a dedicated server session.  If you don't need any of that, there is no downside to using the simpler syntax.  As soon as an organization has one use case that uses something that the easy connect syntax doesn't support, though, it either has to support a hybrid configuration where some things use easy connect and others use TNS aliases or it has to use TNS aliases everywhere.
Supporting hybrid configurations or changing how connections are handled can be somewhat painful depending on your perspective.  It's relatively easy for the Oracle client to handle a bunch of different naming conventions.  It's much more difficult for an organization to support.
It's relatively easy for organizations to come up with ways of distributing a single, shared tnsnames.ora file to everyone or to stand up a central LDAP server to host the organization's TNS information.  If some applications use easy connect syntax and some organizations use TNS aliases, that can be problematic when an organization wants to do things like consolidate databases or move databases from one host to another.  If an organization wants to add load balancing support, it can be problematic when some applications fail over automatically and some don't.  Someone has to track which applications are which, admins have to treat applications differently rather than being able to count on organization conventions that are adhered to across the board.  None of this is impossible, of course.  But consistency across the environment makes DBAs and admins much more productive and allows teams to support many more applications/ databases/ whatever with any given level of staffing.

A: What @Justin-Cave has stated pretty much covers it. One of the best reasons for using tnsnames or another resolution method is to provide a level of abstraction. Basically it stops applications from hard coding values that can be hard to maintain/change/find. If the connections are kept in a tnsnames file then the database can be moved, renamed etc and the application doesn't need to be touched, just repoint the tnsnames entry.

Current COVID-19 Clinical Trial
AstraZeneca's Clinical Study on Hold After 'Unexplained Illness'
It's not uncommon for clinical trials to be placed on hold, but with all eyes focusing on the progress of promising COVID-19 vaccines, AstraZeneca's recent study freeze has garnered international headlines.
In early September, the company placed a hold on its COVID-19 clinical trials worldwide in response to a trial participant's adverse reaction in the United Kingdom.
"We are working to expedite the review of the single event to minimize any potential impact on the trial timeline," AstraZeneca said in a statement late Tuesday. "This is a routine action which has to happen whenever there is a potentially unexplained illness in one of the trials, while it is investigated, ensuring we maintain the integrity of the trials."
What is AstraZeneca's Vaccine Candidate?
AstraZeneca's vaccine candidate AZD1222 was developed by Oxford University scientists who are now working directly with AstraZeneca on development and production. It's formulated with a weakened version of a common cold virus that has been genetically changed to make it impossible to grow in humans.
The AZD1222 construct also contains added genetic material, which is used to make proteins from the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus called Spike glycoprotein. This protein exists on the surface of the virus and plays a critical role in the infection pathway of the coronavirus.
After vaccination with AZD1222, the surface spike protein is produced to prime the immune system to attack the first signs of COVID-19 if it ever infects the body. As a result, scientists hope that vaccination with AZD1222 will stop the coronavirus from entering human cells and ultimately prevent infection.
First Major Obstacle in Historic Vaccine Effort
The hold on AstraZeneca's Phase 3 clinical trial of AZD1222 marks one of the first major obstacles in the company's pursuit of a coronavirus vaccine.
However, it's not entirely unexpected. During smaller Phase 1 and 2 trials, none of the COVID-19 vaccine candidates reported serious reactions or side effects. Large trials involve thousands of people, so it's more likely for a rare reaction to occur. This is exactly why comprehensive Phase 3 clinical trials are required before FDA approval.
It's worth noting that the unexplained illness that led to the pause of AstraZeneca's clinical study occurred in only one participant, not multiple. It's possible that the illness isn't related to the vaccine at all, but its cause must be confirmed before the study can proceed.
"To have a clinical hold, as has been placed on AstraZeneca as of yesterday, because of a single serious adverse event is not at all unprecedented," Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, told a Senate panel on Wednesday.
"This certainly happens in any large-scale trial where you have tens of thousands of people invested in taking part, some of them may get ill and you always have to try to figure out: Is that because of the vaccine, or were they going to get that illness anyway?"
Now the Data Safety Monitoring Board, an external group of experts, will conduct an investigation. Once the participant's illness is better understood, AstraZeneca will most likely be cleared to continue its Phase 3 trial to test the efficacy and safety of AZD1222.

Somebody should send Justin Williams a thank you card.
His 'flu-like symptoms' have been a blessing in disguise today.
It was right wing Trent Hunter, a camp invitee – meaning he's here on a tryout basis.
Following the two-plus hour workout, coach Terry Murray said part of the reason for putting Hunter in Williams spot today was a reward for yesterday. It also had to do with the fact that Murray plans on 'giving Hunter every opportunity to make the team this year.' Although, Murray also acknowledged it will be tough for that to happen – given the roster depth already.
Hunter also says he's using this time in camp to get to know as many players as possible. About the only guy he knew previously was Colin Fraser – they trained together in Alberta a few summers ago.
OK, Williams did his part. Who wants to take some of the heat off Doughty next and create a one-day story?

Lumbini is a Buddhist pilgrimage site in the Rupandehi district of Nepal. It is a place where Queen Mayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama, who as the Buddha Gautama founded the Buddhist tradition. The Shakya Prince Siddhartha Gautama, known as the Lord Buddha, was born to Queen Mayadevi, wife of King Suddodhana, ruler of Kapilavastu, in 623BC at the famous gardens of Lumbini, while she was on a journey from her husband's capital of Tilaurakot to her family home in Devadaha.
Lumbini was the place where the Buddha lived until the age of 29. One of the most famous temples in the Mayadevi temple and just next to that temple is the Puskarini, or the holy pond where the Buddha's mother took the ritual dip prior to his birth and where he, too, had his first bath. This site later became a world famous place for pilgrimage.
Amongst the pilgrims was the Indian emperor Ashoka, who erected one of his commemorative pillars. This pillar was erected by the people in charge of the park to commemorate Ashoka's visit and gifts. The inscriptions on the pillar also stands as a testament to the birth of the Lord Buddha at Lumbini, the pillar was erected on 249BC.
Present day, Lumbini as of 1997 is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is specifically nominated for the international World Heritage Program. The holy site of Lumbini in total is 2km by 6km and is bordered by a large monastic zone in which only monasteries can be built.
Famous Attractions
Sacred Garden: The garden that Siddhartha Gautama Buddha was born in 623BC. The nativity site is marked by a commemorative pillar erected by Mauryan Emperor Ashoka of India during his pilgrimage to the holy site in 249BC.
Mayadevi Temple: excavations have revealed the 'marker stone' showing the exact spot where Siddhartha Gautama Buddha was born.
Puskarni Pond where Queen Mayadevi had taken a bath before the birth of Buddha and where Siddhartha Gautama also took his first bath.
Monuments: to the north of the Sacred Gardens are the monastic zone where different countries have built temple and monasteries depicting different sects of Buddhism.
The Myanmar Temple
The International Gautami Nuns Temple
The China Temple
Dae Sung Suk Sa Korean Temple
The Japanese Peace Stupa
Others: Vietnamese, Thai, Mongolian, France, German and Sri Lankan temple and monuments.
Kapilvastu: Located 27km west of Lumbinilies the ruins of the historic town of Kapilvastu. Kapilvastu the capital of the Shakya republic is believed to be the place where the Siddhartha Gautama lived and enjoyed his life till the age of thirteen.
Devadaha: The parental home of Queen Maya Devi, is 38km east of Lumbini near the village of Khairhani.

Wait, Twitter, it's a trap! Social media platform pressured to 'fact check' Chinese spokesman after doing so with Trump
Twitter seems to be falling further into the trap of de facto becoming a publisher. After 'fact checking' President Donald Trump's tweets, it was pressured to do the same with a Chinese spokesman.
The decision of Twitter to mark some of Donald Trump's tweets about mail-in ballots with notices implying they contained misinformation, may have been welcomed by the many critics of the US president, but some say the move was short-sighted. After all, how does Trump differ from any other public figure whose tweets may need to be 'corrected' with a 'fact check'?
Apparently, in at least one case, Twitter couldn't come up with a good answer, and instead chose to issue more notices. It dug up some March tweets by Lijian Zhao, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, who infamously accused the US military of possibly starting the Covid-19 epidemic by bringing the coronavirus into his country.
Twitter has been labeling what it believes to be Covid-19 misinformation on its platform since mid-May, but those particular notices were issued on purpose. At least that's what the New York Post believes, saying it was done after they confronted Twitter about its apparent double standards in targeting Trump and not the Chinese official.
Quite a few commentators pointed out that Twitter is putting itself in a vulnerable position by getting involved in what is essentially a political quarrel – regardless of whether Trump delivers on his threat to "regulate or shut down" social media in retaliation.
Twitter's move against Trump's tweet is probably horrifying to fellow social media giant Facebook, whose CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, responded to it by reiterating in an interview with Fox News his long-held position that private companies shouldn't be "the arbiter of truth."
His counterpart at Twitter, Jack Dorsey, insists that his company is not taking on that role. "Our intention is to connect the dots of conflicting statements and show the information in dispute so people can judge for themselves," he tweeted.
Fact check: there is someone ultimately accountable for our actions as a company, and that's me. Please leave our employees out of this. We'll continue to point out incorrect or disputed information about elections globally. And we will admit to and own any mistakes we make.

The paper discusses the perception of windiness in the urban environment and especially its visual aspects. Various urban spaces in two cities, both with a reputation of being windy, have been chosen for field studies. Perceived windiness of the spaces has been investigated through questionnaire surveys and on-site interviews simultaneous to climate measurements. Result: Windy has a negative connotation that interacts with other environmental aspects such as beauty and comfort. Also naturalness and mental images of what constitutes sheltered and windy places seem to influence the survey as well as the on-site assessments of windiness.


Nonetheless, it's still a win for the 6 teams and they will be getting a free trip to Korea for the semi-finals, and then come back in July for the Singapore Finals to determine the local representative to the Championships. So good luck to them and may they have a good time there!
In the Singapore selection, organised by Singapore Cosplay Club at West Coast Plaza(Ginza Plaza) on the 27th of March 2010. A total of 10 teams took part in the selection giving those present a wonderfully high quality show.
But I did still have fun, taking pictures of the cosplayers present, only to be disappointed by a broken lens and less then prefered picture quality. Also Cosfest 2010 will be held on the 3rd and 4th of July, so get ready!
Really liked the part doing Mogame and Kanae from Skip Beat!
Now for for the picture gallery, and maybe a few videos of the wonderful performances by the Singapore Wind Symphony,Youth wind.
For the full list of winners and more pictures, you can jump over to The Banzai Effect for their coverage of the event.
The Singapore Wind Symphony, Youth Wind will also be performing on the 4th of July at Cosfest. So do check them out then!

For some time in 1963 she worked around New England with a trio led by the Jazz trumpeter, Howard McGhee.
Due to perform at the Newport Jazz Festival with Howard and his band, Marlena suddenly departed the group following an argument with one of the band members.

Through her accountant, she was brought to the attention of bandleader Count Basie, and she ended up singing with the Basie band for four years.

This album contained, arguably, Marlena's finest moment 'Yu Ma / Go Away Little Boy', which was a medley, partly, containing the old Goffin and Carole King standard, originally recorded by Nancy Wilson.

Devdutt Pattanaik, the author of My Gita, is a very smart author. He has not only built a huge brand around his work but also explored multiple channels to reach out to his potential audience. Print Media, Website, Television and of course books. I as a reader find it difficult to keep pace with his writings. Not sure how he manages to write so much. Gita is the inspiration behind this book cleverly titled My Gita and is its derivative. Having said that it is an innovative approach to presenting Gita – by organizing it by concepts and not following the traditional translation/commentary approach.
Devdutt also calls it 'My Gita' – saying that it is his interpretation of Gita and thus pre-empting any questions that the traditional followers may ask or those who have spent their lives reading Vedic literature may ask. In another diversion from the tradition, Devdutt gives the history of Gita in the beginning and its relevance in the whole gamut of extensive Vedic literature. He emphasizes why Gita is important and relevant to our current context. Now is that not the forte of Devdutt – to present ancient concepts in a way that they appear as contemporary as possible.
In My Gita, Devdutt simplifies the complex concepts like Karma Yog, Bhakti Yog, and Gyan Yog. He not only presents the concept in a simple yet well-defined manner but also explains how they are connected with each other. Like all his works, Devdutt brings in a contrast between western and eastern outlooks and tries to undo the notions that have been created during the colonial eras. I like the way he explains the difference between Bhagwaan that he claims makes an appearance for the first time in Gita and Devas – who are not really Gods.
The best part of the book is its crisp illustrations – that works perfectly with the modern day rational mind. For example in the very beginning, he uses a diagram to illustrate how we are listening to Gita that was told by Krishna to Arjun, but not directly. We hear the version Sanjaya tells Dhritarashtra and which Devdutt is then re-interpreting for us. In fact what he misses in between is the many versions of Gita commentaries that he would have read. And would have influenced him and his thought process. The essence of the diagram though is very clear. You are hearing a version that came to us through many people even when you read the Sanskrit verses. All the illustrations keep the book light to read and easy to understand.
Now, the question that you probably need an answer to is – who has he written My Gita for? For those who read and live by Gita – definitely not – it is too simple and too concise for them. For those who understand the basics of different concepts of Yoga – They may not really appreciate it. Hence It is for those who know Gita but hardly understand it. These people get a good initiation into the text and My Gita may invoke the curiosity to read it further. They can read further as the author provides a rather neat list of books. Although I am not too sure if I agree with his choices. I can definitely recommend 'Who wrote Bhagwad Gita?' by Meghnad Desai.
My best source of understanding has been the Gita course classes that I took at Chinmaya mission ages ago. And I would recommend these classes for anyone wanting to understand Gita or any other Puranic literature.
I also think with the quantity, the quality of books written by Devdutt Pattanaik is going down. I hope he takes a break and writes that one great book.
You may buy this book – My Gita by Devdutt Pattanaik at Amazon.
your observation on modern methods and tools of media marketing r notable.
other review points r fine.
Very interesting. I am yet to read Devdutt's works. I have heard the story of Ramayana that he has written is excellent. I think the name of the book is Sita. Have you read it?

Elucidate some of the recent efforts taken in our country to reform political parties and its leaders.
The Constitution was amended to prevent elected MLAs and MPs from changing parties. This was done because many elected representatives were indulging in DEFECTION in order to become ministers or for cash rewards. Now, if any MLA or MP changes parties, he or she will lose the seat in the legislature.
The Supreme Court passed an order to reduce the influence of money and criminals. Now, it is mandatory for every candidate who contests elections to file an AFFIDAVIT) giving details of his property and criminal cases pending against him. The new system has made a lot of information available to the public. But there is no system of check if the information given by the candidates is true.
The Election Commission passed an order making it necessary for political parties to hold their organisational elections and file their income tax returns. The parties have started doing so but sometimes it is mere formality. It is not clear if this step has led to greater internal democracy in political parties.


Here's a 30 minute sample (the download contains over 90 minutes of material).
Back in 1996, a quest began to produce a definitive remix CD of C64 music.
There had been nothing like it before (save Datahits, but that didn't really count).
It had to involve the original composers in some way, and it had to go through the professional pressing.
It was a huge risk, but the end result sold over 2500 copies.
Out of print forever, now you can download the album through the miracle of this thing we call "The Internets".
This version contains the existing remastered tracks from "Back in Time +" - the never released version of Back in Time created with new synths in 1999/2000, which remastered everything except Chris Huelsbeck's tunes and Wizball, though some of these tracks were bonus tracks for Back in Time customers on the old website (as "Parallax 1999", "Rambo 1999", etc).
