Quantum computers promise to solve the most complicated problems and equations that computers today cannot. But the promise is not all positive. The majority of global organizations see the emergence of quantum computing as a major threat to security, according to findings from DigiCert's 2019 Post Quantum Crypto Survey.
While quantum computers aren't commercially available yet, leading tech companies are making major headway in this space. In January 2019, IBM unveiled the world's first circuit-based commercial quantum computer, the IBM Q System One. In October 2019, Google used its quantum computer processor, dubbed Sycamore, to solve a complex computation in 200 seconds, which would otherwise take a supercomputer 10,000 years to finish.
More recently, Amazon joined the quantum computing race by offering its cloud platform customers access to quantum hardware from three startups.

Druva Data Management: Product Overview and Insight
Quantum computers are unique since they use quantum bits, or qubits, and can be in multiple states at once. This means they can tackle an immense number of outcomes, resulting in greater computational ability. This also means quantum computers could potentially break the most sophisticated encryption algorithms, which has security experts worried and businesses confused about what to expect in the future.
DigiCert conducted its global survey in partnership with ReRez Research to understand how organizations are addressing security and how much they know about Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC), which are cryptographic algorithms necessary to withstand quantum computing threats. The respondents were divided among IT directors, IT security managers and IT generalists from 400 companies across the U.S., Germany and Japan. They survey focused on four industries: financial, health care, transportation and industrial.
The findings show enterprise IT has general awareness of PQC, but there is also some early stage confusion. Less than two-thirds of those surveyed knew the correct definition of PQC. More than half (59 percent) said they're deploying hybrid (PQC + RSA/ECC) certificates, which is unlikely because PQC certificates are still in early testing.
Quantum computing is definitely on key execs' minds
Despite some uncertainty around what PQC involves, the survey's overall results are promising. Quantum computing is on the minds of IT professionals, who are aware of the impending threats. Half (55 percent) believe quantum computing is a large threat today, while 71 percent think it'll be a bigger threat in the future.
Most organizations anticipate quantum computing threats will become a reality within three years. That's why 83 percent of respondents believe it's imperative for IT to learn about quantum-safe security practices. A third reported they have already established budget to prepare for PQC and another 56 percent are planning to come up with one. For nearly all of these companies, the PQC budget will be "somewhat" to "extremely" large.
The survey found there are three specific concerns companies have when implementing PQC. First, the cost of fighting and mitigating quantum threats is too high. Second, data that is protected from attacks today will become easy to decrypt in the future. Third, encryption on devices and applications embedded in products will be more vulnerable when quantum computers become mainstream.
In preparation, companies should be aware of the risks they face and create a quantum crypto maturity model that reflects those risks. Crypto-agility is an effective way to swap old algorithms for new ones as changes take place quickly, so companies should establish it as a core practice.
Lastly, companies should collaborate with key vendors to establish digital certificate best practices. By tracking PQC industry progress, including products and services, companies can prepare for what's ahead.

FBI inquiries begin in nude celebrity photo leaks

FBI inquiries begin in nude celebrity photo leaks The FBI said it was addressing allegations that online accounts of several celebrities, including Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, had been hacked, leading to the posting of their nude photographs online. Check out this story on thenorthwestern.com: http://oshko.sh/1uiVriT
AP Published 7:21 p.m. CT Sept. 2, 2014
In this May 10, 2014, file photo, Jennifer Lawrence attends the "X-Men: Days of Future Past" world premiere in New York. As investigators worked Tuesday, Sept. 2, 2014, to determine who stole and posted nude photos of several female celebrities online, efforts by the stars to have the images removed from websites made them increasingly difficult to find. Copyright complaints apparently prompted the removal of the image from sharing site Imgur.com and rendered links on the social networking site Reddit inoperable in what experts call an online version of "whack a mole" that will never fully scrub the intimate photos of Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and other stars from the Internet. (Photo: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP )
LOS ANGELES – The FBI said it was addressing allegations that online accounts of several celebrities, including Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, had been hacked, leading to the posting of their nude photographs online.
The agency did not say Monday what actions it was taking to investigate who was responsible for posting naked photos of Lawrence and other stars. Apple said Monday it was looking into whether its online photo-sharing service had been hacked to obtain the intimate images.
Lawrence, a three-time Oscar nominee who won for her role in "Silver Linings Playbook," contacted authorities after the images began appearing Sunday.
Naked images purporting to be of other female stars were also posted, although the authenticity of many couldn't be confirmed. The source of the leak was unclear.
"This is a flagrant violation of privacy," Lawrence's publicist Liz Mahoney wrote in a statement. "The authorities have been contacted and will prosecute anyone who posts the stolen photos of Jennifer Lawrence."
The FBI said it was "aware of the allegations concerning computer intrusions and the unlawful release of material involving high profile individuals, and is addressing the matter."
"Any further comment would be inappropriate at this time," spokeswoman Laura Eimiller wrote in a statement.
Apple Inc. spokeswoman Natalie Kerris said the company was investigating whether any iCloud accounts had been tampered with, but she did not give any further details.
"We take user privacy very seriously and are actively investigating this report," she said.
Actress Mary Elizabeth Winstead also confirmed that nude photos of her were posted online.
"To those of you looking at photos I took with my husband years ago in the privacy of our home, hope you feel great about yourselves," Winstead posted on Twitter. Winstead, who starred in "Final Destination 3" and "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," wrote that she thought the images had been destroyed.
"Knowing those photos were deleted long ago, I can only imagine the creepy effort that went into this," Winstead wrote.
The FBI has investigated previous leaks of nude celebrity images, including leaks involving Scarlett Johansson, Mila Kunis, Christina Aguilera and footage of television sports reporter Erin Andrews in a Tennessee hotel room. Those cases resulted in convictions.
How widespread the hacking of celebrities photos was is not immediately clear. Some of the images were quickly denounced as fakes.
Some cybersecurity experts speculated that hackers may have obtained a cache of private celebrity images by exploiting weaknesses in an online image-storing platform.
"It is important for celebrities and the general public to remember that images and data no longer just reside on the device that captured it," security researcher Ken Westin wrote in a blog post Monday. "Once images and other data are uploaded to the cloud, it becomes much more difficult to control who has access to it, even if we think it is private."
Private information and images of celebrities are frequent targets for hackers. Last year, a site posted credit reports, federal Social Security numbers and other financial info on celebrities, including Jay Z and his wife Beyonce, Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher and many others.
Johansson, Kunis and Aguilera were hacked by a Florida man, Christopher Chaney, who used publicly available information to hack into the email accounts of more than 50 people in the entertainment industry.
"I have been truly humiliated and embarrassed," Johansson said in a tearful videotaped statement played in court at Chaney's sentencing in December 2012.
"That feeling of security can never be given back and there is no compensation that can restore the feeling one has from such a large invasion of privacy," Aguilera wrote in a statement before Chaney's sentencing.

With Periscope, Live Stories (Snapchat), and Facebook Live, who's still creating content for YouTube? Nike, Mattel, and some of the most successful brands, that's who!
YouTube has over a billion users—that's almost a third of people on the Internet.
Hundreds of millions of hours are spent on YouTube generating billions of views, every single day.
The number of people watching YouTube per day is up by 40 percent in the last two years.
The number of channels earning six figures per year on YouTube is up by 50 percent.
There is still a lot of life in YouTube. If you are thinking of taking it easy on this platform in favor of shiny new channels, you might want to reconsider.
"But I have been at it for years, and I am not really seeing results!" I hear you cry out. As apparent from the statistics above, the reason you are not seeing results is not YouTube's fault at all. Read on—here are three simple tricks to increase your YouTube views and subscribers.
Did you know that your video thumbnail image could be the real culprit behind your dwindling numbers? Or that unchecking and checking a button could be the ultimate answer to your problem?
There are many small but significant steps you need to take to ensure your YouTube content gets the attention it deserves. Take the thumbnail image, for instance. In the split second's time when viewers have to decide which video they will watch, your thumbnail image might be the ultimate game changer. This a very small but important point to remember every time you upload a new video.
Similarly, there are many small steps you can take to increase the number of subscribers for your channel. For instance, end cards with a large Subscribe button can subtly motivate your viewer to subscribe to your channel.
Allowing embedding can also mean more exposure, which could eventually lead to more subscribers. There are a host of actionable advanced tips to gain YouTube Subscribers that don't take much of your time but can significantly affect your subscriber count and engagement. Make all these changes, and you will see your subscriber count go north.
Isaac Quiroga, Mattel's YouTube partnership and programming strategist, runs 20 channels for the brand and loves to geek out on YouTube. However, YouTube analytics have their limitations, so he chose Tubular (Nielsen for branded web video) to get more insights about content that works on YouTube.
He quickly found out there was a huge community around American Girls stop motion videos which were quite popular on YouTube. This led him and his team to create a tutorial for creating stop motion videos with American Girl toys and helped them get a 300 percent lift in views. They have a huge number of fans in the form of stop motion video creators.
If you are seeing a drop in views and engagement and are wondering what went wrong, take a page from Mattel's book, and let the numbers guide you. As a content marketer and strategist, you should be able to predict in advance how a video will do, and tools like Tubular help you do just that.
If you know what will work and what won't for you, you will churn out better and better content—the number one way to entice your audience back to your channel again.
There are many solid reasons why influencer marketing is good for your business. The best part about influencer videos? They're not only published on your own channel, but on influencers' channels as well, which ensures maximum views and a steady rise in subscribers.
No matter which industry you are in, there are many vloggers and influencers that can help you gain more subscribers. Whether you want a recipe to be made or an app to be reviewed, you're sure to find many YouTubers that can help you out.
There are many places where you can find YouTube influencers, including FameBit, Bloggers Required, and our friends at TapInfluence. Bloggers Required is a great place to find vlogging assignments from Australia to Europe through to USA and Canada. They have over 20 assignment categories, from accounting to video games and everything in between.
Influencer marketing allows you to piggyback on influencers' fame and see an instant jump in your numbers. If you are not using this shortcut to bump up your subscription count, you might be missing out on a great opportunity.
Make your YouTube channel act as a honeypot. The roadblock you're encountering now could be something as simple as a missing CTA button that's ruining your numbers, or maybe your content quality might be to blame. If Mattel hadn't produced content that their audience wanted, they would have never seen such amazing results. As a last resort, when everything else fails, you can attract more subscribers through influencers.
The number of people watching YouTube per day is up by 40 percent in last two years.
Your video thumbnail image can determine your success or failure.
Are your videos embeddable? Find out now.
Make sure you've optimized the technical aspects of your video production and publishing.
Pay attention to numbers, your own as well as overall YouTube numbers.
Watch for trends like a hawk (preferably using a tool).
Find as many influencers you can, and watch your channel become a hit.
These three methods are sure to turn your channel into a sweet, fragrant honeypot—you can't afford to not try them!

Dude, the pink pedal pushers sound awesome! I do love a bit (a lot) of pink, and I'm excited to wear it every Wednesday this summer.
Hahaaa! Sarah I actually love you. Dreading the moment when pedal pushers come back into fashion again, then I will feel officially old.
Oo pink Wednesdays sound like a fun concept ;) Flash a bit of pink at LFW for me too!


There are many things you can do to reduce your levels of anxiety and stress naturally. The list that follows may be helpful to you in dealing with your own anxiety, nervousness, and irritability. Please consult with your nutritionist, physician or mental health provider to discuss which approaches might be best for you.
Gradually reduce your sugar intake as low as possible. Too much sugar disrupts our metabolism and strips the body of essential nutrients. Watch out for packaged and canned food. They are laden with hidden sugar. And don't just go and replace the sugar with artificial sweeteners. As reported on 60 Minutes, Aspartame is implicated in many health problems, including anxiety reactions, dizziness, convulsions, etc.
Reduce your intake of alcohol and tobacco. Both of these items cause major disruptions in our biochemistry and are leading causes of death in America.
Eliminate or drastically reduce processed grains as much as possible. This includes white bread, pasta, biscuits, cakes, pizza, etc. You can eat whole grains but be careful. Many people are allergic to wheat and other grains.
Try to eat protein at every meal, especially breakfast. Protein is a very stable energy source. This will stabilize your insulin levels and foster proper neuron functioning. Soy products, lean meat and fish are good protein sources.
Eat lots of vegetables. Carbohydrates help us to manufacture serotonin. This chemical is important to the regulation of our moods.
Gradually cut out coffee over a period of a week or so to prevent severe withdrawal.
Drink a lot of water. Water assists the body in eliminating biochemical waste.
Exercise regularly. Exercise releases endorphins, natural morphine like chemicals that make us feel calm and contented. Exercise increases self-esteem, lowers body weight and assists the body to function properly.
Learn how to practice meditation or some form of deep relaxation. Meditation has many positive physiological and psychological benefits. It decreases tension, activates the parasympathetic nervous system (which slows our bodies down and gets us out of the stress mode) and slows biological aging.
Avoid foods to which you allergic. This is a key element in any anti-anxiety program. Eating foods that are bad for you causes intense anxiety or depressive symptoms. Many people are allergic to grains, including wheat and corn, beans, and most dairy products.
Think of talking with a nutritionist about supplementing your diet with vitamins and minerals. Especially take B1, B2, B6, folic acid, vitamin C, and magnesium. These nutrients function to manufacture neurotransmitters. Selenium may even protect the neurotransmitters from damage. Zinc, B6, iodine, folic acid, and B12 are essential to the development and functioning of the nervous system. Free form amino acids can also be taken if necessary. GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is especially good for panic attacks and regulating the entire nervous system). Calcium supplements also produce calmness.
There are many herbs that are beneficial in the treatment of anxiety. Valerian Root, Passion Flower, Chamomile, Skullcap and Dandelion are very helpful in fostering relaxation.
Eat six small meals throughout the day. This will help you maintain a balanced energy and coping level.
Don't pressure yourself to make all of the changes listed above all at once. We all change at our own pace. The important thing is that you have made the decision to take responsibility for your health. Educate yourself about health issues . Consult with a nutritionally oriented physician, a nutritionist, or mental health professional to discuss which changes may be most important for you. If you are in psychotherapy or under a doctor's care, you may find your progress increasing as your body regains it's health and balance.
Please keep in mind that these suggestions are not a replacement for seeing the appropriate professional to discuss your needs.
If you wish to speak to someone about feelings of anxiety and stress or other personal issues, you can make an appointment to see me by email or phone.

I watched the little girls draw the crooked squares in colored chalk on the sidewalk. I smiled remembering my own childhood games of hopscotch. Hop, hop, hop. The first round was always easy because you knew what to expect. Hop, hop, hop, land, hop, land hop. You knew just how long you needed to balance on one leg before landing on two feet again.
Life sometimes feels like a game of hopscotch. Sometimes you maneuver a tiny square on one leg and in other places both feet are firmly planted on the ground. Along the way you pick up your marker as you progress from square to square. Unlike hopscotch, the squares are not neatly drawn in brightly colored chalk. You may find yourself balancing longer than is reasonably comfortable on one leg praying to reach the spot when you can put down both feet and steady yourself. Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, land, hop.
In hopscotch and life the game grows in complexity as you add more people. No longer jumping from square to square, you also have to jump over the obstacles that others have placed in your path. Hop, jump, jump, hop, hop, land, jump, hop.
As I sat musing, the little girls giggled, ponytails bobbing up and down as they each took turns, hopping, landing, and picking up their marker. Hop, land, hop, bend, jump, turn to do it again. I watched as the smaller little girl took her turn, eyes on the pattern, with determination in her eyes – hop, hop, hop, jump, hop, bend, stumble. Rather than become discouraged they collapsed into giggles, declared a winner and started a new game, hop, hop, hop, land, hop, land, hop.
I rose from the chair with a smile determined to go and start my own new game, no colored chalk required.
How's your game these days? Are you jumping on one foot or two? Do you start a new game when you stumble or just go to the end of the line?
Buck up or Break Down?
Have you ever spent a day or two fighting off an illness? You feel sort of lousy but solider on at half speed not wanting to give in to being sick? Finally, you decide that it would be better to admit defeat and spend a day or two in bed. You realize that you could fight for a week and operate at reduced capacity or simply give in for a day or two and emerge recovered.
Sometimes holding back negative emotions is exactly like those days you waste pretending you're not really sick. You exert your energy pretending that you're not hurting, sad or angry – energy that could be directed at solving your problem.
There are times when bucking up is truly the smart thing to do, but at other times you really need to be kind enough to yourself to break down. In those times, to ignore what you feel can actually prevent you from taking positive action. So go ahead and cry, scream, rant, and eat a big fat bowl of ice-cream if that is what you need to get it out of your system. When you're done, you can then focus completely on taking action to change your situation.
Are there times in your own life when you should have chosen to break down or vice versa? How do you decide when to cry "uncle" and when to tough it out?
I sat by his bed with the notebook by my side. The day was warm and clear and I gazed into the backyard as he slept. He had worked so hard on the yard and it was one of our favorite things about our lovely little home. A vegetable garden right outside our bedroom window provided us with beautiful tomatoes, peppers, corn, herbs and greens. An array of beautiful blooms surrounded the yard like the borders of a frame. The trees seemed to gently watch over us as they stretched toward the sky.
A few weeks ago he had cut down huge branches from the tress closest to the house. He seemed like a man possessed. I hated watching trees being trimmed and my eyes brimmed with tears as I feared he was cutting too much. I asked him what he was doing. Without missing a beat with the saw he told me he had to do it while he could so I would not have to worry. My husband was not romantic in the traditional sense but his practical gestures of love were like a sonnet written upon my heart.
His gentle breathing quickened and I shook from my reverie, returning to the present. I looked over, ready to spring into action when he looked toward the right of the room. His brows knitted together, he asked "who are all those people?" I followed his eyes and asked softly, "What people honey?" "All those people, dressed in white." I swallowed the lump in my throat before responding, "those are the angels honey they are watching over you." Pleased with my answer he continued to look at them in silence. I don't know what he saw but I felt a mixture of peace and sadness. I could not bear to let this man go, so many things left undone, but I knew that if it were to be he would be gently carried away to a far better place.
The following week I calmly called 911 when he struggled to breathe. I opened the notebook and gave the paramedics a full history of all that happened that day, blood pressure, pulse, glucose, medications, and more. They eyed me in amazement but love had taught me to keep track. I drove behind the ambulance to the hospital, making phone calls along the way. Once again, I sat by his bed, comforting, praying and loving him. Soon he was being wheeled to ICU and our hands locked together, I leaned in and told him I wanted him to live but if he needed to let go, I would be okay.
The words so easily tumbled from my lips in spite of the pain in my heart because love had taught me to put it first. It was not my pain that mattered but his peace. That was to be our final night. No words were left unspoken as the angels gently carried him away. Love taught me to embrace it fiercely, and cherish it deeply but to release it when the time came for it to soar to the heavens.
I learned from love how to let go.

Last night, U.S. President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama danced their first dance to the song At Last (originally recorded by Etta James). The song was recorded in 1961, four years before the National Voting Rights act was signed. Nearly a century later it has a new place in our history, marking yet another milestone in our country.
I have always loved this song but as I listened to it this morning I wondered, how many woke up this morning in anticipation of their own "At Last?" How many are still in the struggle for what sometimes may seem a far off battle? How many desperately want to celebrate their own At Last?
Your own moment may not be 50 years in the making but I urge you today to proudly stand upon the shoulders of those that have gone before you, and to link arms with those around you who will help you make it to your moment in the sun. It begins with belief and continues with action and yes, often sacrifice but this song can be your anthem too.
Are you working toward your own "At Last?" What keeps you motivated not to give up? Have you already arrived, and if so, have any tips to share?

Call For Artists Affected By Alzheimer's Disease Or Other Dementias
by AlzSWP | Jan 12, 2017 | News & Updates | 0 comments
Trish West a London playwright is premiering her play about dementia, Mrs. Cransen in April, 2017. The play, as well as an accompanying art exhibition, is a fundraising initiative to support the Alzheimer Society London and Middlesex.
As the playwright and producer of the art exhibition, Trish is looking for art to fill the gallery space of her upcoming exhibition. The main character in her new play "Ms. Cranston" has Alzheimer's disease and she hopes that the addition of art to her exhibit will help draw attention to the disease.
She is looking for art created by people whose lives have been affected –directly or indirectly – by dementia. The art can be any number of different mediums; photographs, drawings, paintings, 3-demensional pieces, or mixed media. The art itself doesn't need to be about Alzheimer's disease, "…but the artist must have been affected by it" West states. The artists can include a small description with their work that focuses on a memory of the person behind the disease or the motivation or feelings behind the creation of the piece.
The deadline for submission is February 17 and the exhibition will run April 17-22. For more information or to participate in the exhibition, contact Trish West or Rick Sturgeon at [email protected]


Hi there, I am seeking a rocker chick, who can play keys, guitar, (or any instrument) and can write. Please be part of the LGBTQ+ community, or at least ok with it. I am a singer-songwriter, and play keys, and guitar.


Cruise 42 is the smallest Indel B's Cruise refrigerator with a vertical door. The fan-cooled compressor unit, placed on the back, can be easily moved up to 1,5 m away. Mounting frame is available as an option.


Born in Argentina, Lucas Javier Fabro is a 27 year old luthier working in Cremona, who studied first as a chemical engineer then won a scholarship to Cremona's Scuola Internazionale di Liuteria to study instrument making. He prides himself in understanding all the technical processes which go into creating a great violin and he makes around 8 a year. He even knows the whereabouts of most of his instruments and gets to see them from time to time as the musicians who commissioned them often become friends.
Few people these days use dried bugs to give the varnish of their violins that distinctive red hue, but Lucas Javier Fabro prefers the evenness of sound and stability of colour that the cochineal dye affords. So he crushes his own. As I talk to the Cremona based luthier, this isn't the only thing that distinguishes his instruments.
We meet on a wood stand at Mondomusica, the only Italian exhibition of instrument makers, where luthiers go to buy everything they need for their craft. They pick over the woods they prefer, rosins for their varnish, the pegs and, most importantly, the bridges.
In his high-ceilinged workshop, he offers me a choice of 58 varieties of tea and enthuses as we discuss the merits of the jasmine, giving me time to look around. Among the workbenches that line the room, the one that catches my eye is 400 years old. Above it, the hand tools of his trade are neatly slotted. I learn from him there are three different woods that are used on every instrument: maple for the back, sides and neck, spruce for the top and ebony for the fingerboard. In Lucas' view the very best maple comes from the forests of Croatia – and that's the stand on which we met.
The wood he looked at today was cut down around one or two years ago and has been naturally seasoned to dry it slowly. But he can't use it yet, as he will have to wait at least five more years: his studio contains lots of wood, all carefully catalogued for use. This isn't a business for impatient people, nor is it one where you can be too frugal with the wood you buy. By the way, the wood needed for the top of the instrument first has to be split lengthways so that the finished product will consist of two perfect halves, matching in sheen, brightness and evenness of sound.
I watch him as he demonstrates how he gouges the wood with one of his many hand tools, see the marks left by the tool and how he then smooths the marks with constantly finer hand tools until he finishes not with sandpaper but with a reed which "cuts the hairs of the wood rather than dampening them as sandpaper would do." These reeds have been used for hundreds of years by the fine makers of Cremona.
As Lucas talks on excitedly, I learn that different violin makers have very different opinions on the amount of arching the should give to a particular violin body. Factories have violin bodies coming off the machines at a tremendous rate, each one with exactly the same degree of arching, but if that is the only measurement they take, Lucas asserts that only one in a thousand violins they make will sound good because every piece of wood is of different density. As a trained chemical engineer as well as a luthier, Lucas measures their density before calculating the correct degree of arching for each body. He explains that arching has always been very important – from the time of Amati whose violins were crafted to create a beautiful round, warm sound that didn't project hugely (with archings up to 20mm at their higher point). Nowadays some makers opt for a relatively low level of arching (up to 14 mm on the back) to gain some power on their violins, but this loses some richness.
The amount of arching and relative thickness of the wood turn out to be very important. Low arching and a lower thickness of the wood used for the body contribute to a brighter sound: when the violin is new, this might flatter the performer, but carries that the disadvantage that the violin's sound will deteriorate over time. Lucas' instruments are built for the long haul. The sound will take longer to open initially: the instrument will need many hours of playing before its performance will improve, but then the richness and roundness of the sound will win out. The strings come into the equation here too, with some choices offering excellent projection, principally for use with the lower arched models, while other strings give better colour.
Finally, the bridge of each violin has to be taken very seriously indeed: Lucas reckons it may contribute 35% of the overall sound. His first appointment at the show was to the Milo Stamm bridge stand where their tiny pieces of wood cost around 25 euros each. He knows that he must pick the best bridges they offer and he sifts through drawers of bridges choosing exactly the type he is looking for. Only one in every ten he looks at may match his exacting specification, so he starts early.
Others buy their varnish ready made here: Lucas does not, because he makes his own. When his violin is complete, he gives it 30 coats of from his secret recipe and finally the violin is ready to travel to its eagerly waiting buyer, with its own passport of authenticity to point out all its identifying marks.


At the time of building this site my client were the only company in Cape Town selling PVC Double Glazed windows. The website was a marketing tool for them, so the site was coded in xhtml/css and had plenty of keywords for Double Glazing. After a month of being online the site was the top result in Google South Africa for Double Glazing.
A few years later I asked the client how the website was doing at getting them new business and they told me the website was how they were getting most of their business.

À propos de Stripe
Panasonic-backed Yohana partners with Stripe to help busy families thrive
In 1918, Panasonic founder Konosuke Matsushita devoted the global electronics conglomerate to the development of society and the well-being of people. A century later, Panasonic continues that vision by supporting Yohana, an independent subsidiary that provides tech-enabled concierge services to busy families.
The Yohana membership is the first-ever concierge service that matches families with a team of specialists to help manage their busy lives. Families are paired with a guide to map their goals, and with a team of specialists who manage everything from household tasks to family to-dos to creating memorable experiences like vacations. Members also gain access to the Yohana Pro & Partner Network, which features local businesses that can tackle bigger projects for the home and family.
Yohana leverages the reach of the Panasonic Group to enhance its relationships in the home services industry. The platform launched in the US and is expanding to Japan as part of an ambitious growth plan that also serves as a homecoming.
Rapid expansion with a single integration
Yohana was founded in 2021 by Yoky Matsuoka, a former Google executive and a mom of four. The service helps parents tackle everything from home maintenance to kids' activities, calendar coordination, self-care, and personal to-dos. Unlike productivity apps that can create more to manage, Yohana creates space for families to prioritize well-being.
The platform has grown to help families across all 50 US states with more than 50,000 tasks. Yohana has used Stripe since its founding to offer a range of convenient payment options, saving some families as many as 8–10 hours per week.
Yohana begun Japanese operations in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo, with plans to expand into the rest of the country, and beyond. Stripe's investment in Japan made it easy for Yohana to enter the country and scale quickly.
"Stripe is a trusted partner to Yohana," said Shoma Yamamoto, Japan Pro Team manager of Yohana Japan. "The ease, security, and reliability of Stripe's payment capabilities and global support make it easy for us to quickly realize our growth and expansion ambitions wherever we operate in the world."
Helping busy modern families live better
With Stripe, Yohana members can pay using popular credit cards issued by JCB, Visa, and Mastercard, among others. These convenient options enhance the time-saving benefits of the app, by sparing members the tedious process of initiating a traditional bank transfer, which is how home services in Japan are typically paid for. For Yohana, building on Stripe has further simplified every step in the payment process, from providing appraisals to issuing invoices and receipts.
"Yohana partnered with Stripe to create a rapidly scalable financial services infrastructure that allows us to focus on our members. We look forward to building on our mutual strengths for the progress and development of society, as well as the well-being of people that Panasonic's founder promised all those years ago," said Yamamoto.
"We're encouraged to see how the Stripe financial services platform helps translate business goals into transformative societal benefit," said Daniel Heffernan, representative director for Stripe in Japan. "We look forward to working closer with Yohana to help busy families in Japan and beyond free up time so that they can focus on the things that matter most in their lives."

Abstract: Clinical resistance to imatinib mesylate is commonly observed in patients with advanced Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) leukemias. Acquired resistance is typically associated with reactivation of BCR-ABL due to kinase domain mutations or gene amplification, indicating that BCR-ABL remains a viable target for inhibition in these patients. Strategies for overcoming resistance can be envisioned through exploitation of other molecular features of the BCR-ABL protein, such as its dependence on the molecular chaperone heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90). To determine whether inhibition of Hsp90 could induce degradation of imatinib mesylate-resistant, mutant BCR-ABL proteins, hematopoietic cells expressing 2 mutant BCR-ABL proteins found in imatinib mesylate-resistant patients (T3151 and E255K) were examined for sensitivity to geldanamycin and 17-allylaminogeldanamycin (17-AAG). Both compounds induced the degradation of wild-type and mutant BCR-ABL and inhibited cell growth, with a trend indicating more potent activity against mutant BCR-ABL proteins. These data support clinical investigations of 17-AAG in imatinib mesylate-resistant Ph+ leukemias. © 2002 by The American Society of Hematology.

Discus and support Windows 10 will not shut down in Windows 10 Support to solve the problem; Hey Everyone, I have a desktop that I ran the update on from windows 7 up to windows 10. When I go to shutdown on this system it appears to begin... Discussion in 'Windows 10 Support' started by SLADEstroke, Sep 27, 2015.
I have a desktop that I ran the update on from windows 7 up to windows 10.
When I go to shutdown on this system it appears to begin the shutdown process. However, after a few moments with black screens and appearing to have shut down, the PC near turns off and shows the BIOS splash screen and begins to start windows up again.
- a screen every time I "shut down" that tells me that there has been an error and that the computer must restart, even though I was shutting it down in the first place... It also tells me that there is an error named "apple.sys" possibly causing the problem. The computer then restarts fine every time after that point though the only possible way of me shutting the computer down is manually holding the shut down button on my pc case. Then once I power up after that my computer fails to give power to my keyboard and mouse, to which I must then reset the BIOS every single time and then restart. This is the only way I can turn my pc back on after every time I manually power down - resetting the BIOS to bring power to my accessories. I dont really want to keep doing this every single night and plus I figure it must be bad for my pc.
Any troubleshooting or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, All! I promised this photo yesterday, so here is the Heart Garland in a more standard style. I really like it! (And it's out of Jake's reach; he's a very curious poochie.) Since the fabric strips are tied together, it's easy to shorten by just removing a few. It would be pretty hung in lots of places! I was thinking I'd move it (carefully) to my library and just set books on the ends to hold in place. Or maybe in front of the dining room windows!
I like this one the best! How about you?
This one is probably in Jake's reach though; but I think I'll leave it and hope he doesn't notice! Dangerous . . . I could lose the candle holders, too . . . Hmmmm . . . . .
Here are the packaged Kits so you can see the contents.
I noticed that quite a few of you have already downloaded the Free Heart Pattern! Have fun! And remember, a Heart is great for decor, on packaging, or as a gift anytime! Hint: It slips into a gift card envelope very easily - just a little extra postage and you've sent a card with the gift, too, in just an envelope!
Hope your day so far has been great! And filled with quilting, handwork or whatever puts a smile on your face!

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is the United States' largest youth recognition program based exclusively on volunteer community service. The program was created in 1995 by Prudential in partnership with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) to honor middle level and high school students for outstanding service to others at the local, state, and national level.

The program's goals are to applaud young people who already are making a positive difference in their towns and neighborhoods, and to inspire others to think about how they might contribute to their communities. Over the past 16 years, more than 310,000 young Americans have participated in the program, and nearly 100,000 of them have been officially recognized for their volunteer work.

The Prudential Spirit of Community Awards program is also conducted in Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Ireland and India, where Prudential has significant business operations.

Eligibility
Any young person who:
is in grades 5-12 as of November 1 during the applying year,
is a legal resident of any U.S. state or Washington, D.C.,
has engaged in a volunteer activity that occurred at least partly during the 12 months prior to the date of application, and
submits a completed application to a school principal or the head of an officially designated local organization by November 1.

Informed consent is at the core of the clinical relationship. With the introduction of machine learning in healthcare, the role of informed consent is challenged. This paper addresses the issue of whether patients must be informed about medical ML applications and asked for consent. It aims to expose the discrepancy between ethical and practical considerations, while arguing that this polarization is a false dichotomy: in reality, ethics is applied to specific contexts and situations. Bridging this gap and considering the whole (...) picture is essential for advancing the debate. In the light of the possible future developments of the situation and the technologies, as well as the benefits that informed consent for ML can bring to shared decision-making, the present analysis concludes that it is necessary to prepare the ground for a possible future requirement of informed consent for medical ML.

Informed Consent, Error and Suspending Ignorance: Providing Knowledge or Preventing Error?Arnon Keren & Ori Lev - 2022 - Ethical Theory and Moral Practice 25 (2):351-368.details
The standard account of informed consent has recently met serious criticism, focused on the mismatch between its implications and widespread intuitions about the permissibility of conducting research and providing treatment under conditions of partial knowledge. Unlike other critics of the standard account, we suggest an account of the relations between autonomy, ignorance, and valid consent that avoids these implausible implications while maintaining the standard core idea, namely, that the primary purpose of the disclosure requirement of informed consent is to prevent (...) autonomy-undermining ignorance. The problem with the standard account, we argue, is that it fails to distinguish between different forms of ignorance–in particular, error and suspending ignorance–that have very different effects on individuals' ability to provide valid consent. While error often undermines our ability to provide valid consent, suspending ignorance, we argue, does not. Once the moral weight of this distinction is appreciated, it becomes apparent that valid informed consent requires far less knowledge than suggested by the standard account. (shrink)

Moral Neuroenhancement for Prisoners of War.Blake Hereth - 2022 - Neuroethics 15 (1):1-20.details
Moral agential neuroenhancement can transform us into better people. However, critics of MB raise four central objections to MANEs use: It destroys moral freedom; it kills one moral agent and replaces them with another, better agent; it carries significant risk of infection and illness; it benefits society but not the enhanced person; and it's wrong to experiment on nonconsenting persons. Herein, I defend MANE's use for prisoners of war fighting unjustly. First, the permissibility of killing unjust combatants entails that, in (...) cases where MANE is equally or more likely as termination to reduce moral recidivism in unjust combatants, then MANE is morally justified. Second, the relevant infections and illnesses caused by MANE are less bad than death, so MANE leaves unjust POWs better off than the alternative. Third, just as incarceration is often permissible despite benefitting society but not the incarcerated, the same holds for unjust POWs. Fourth, we should accept a broader construal of "benefit" that includes moral benefits. Thus, 3 and 4 are false when applied to unjust POWs. Fifth, medical experimentation likely to help nonconsenting persons is sometimes permissible. Because MANE is likely to help unjust POWs irrespective of their consent or lack thereof, its use is permissible. Sixth, basic principles of proper medical care support the use of MANE on unjust POWs as pro tanto morally obligatory. I conclude that militaries should therefore begin to employ MANE for unjust POWs. (shrink)

Liberal media, my ass
October 21, 2008 by lestro 1 Comment
This time it hits home because it is coming from one of my very favorite newspapers, The Philadelphia Inquirer (as reported in the NY Times):
Over the weekend, the Philadelphia Inquirer joined the many newspapers that have endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president rather than Senator John McCain, contributing to the 3-to-1 advantage that Mr. Obama already has in newspaper support, according to Editor & Publisher.
Yet the Philadelphia Inquirer also endorsed Senator McCain. That's not a typo.
On the same page that the newspaper published a 901-word editorial supporting Mr. Obama, it ran just beneath it a 391-word dissent in support of Mr. McCain.
Seriously. They actually did that. What the fuck? Officially, of course, nothing happened:
Brian Tierney, chief executive of the company that owns The Inquirer, Philadelphia Media Holdings, and who sits on the newspaper's editorial board, would not say. In an interview on Tuesday, Mr. Tierney would only say, "We don't talk about what goes on on the editorial page."
But the Times has its ways:
But another member of the Editorial Board, who asked not to be identified because of possible repercussions, said that it was Mr. Tierney who pressed the case for Mr. McCain. After arriving at the meeting, the board member said, "we went around the room" and Mr. Obama was the "overwhelming winner."
At that point, the person said, "Tierney weighed in and made the case for McCain."
Mr. Tierney, an advertising executive who in the past had been involved in Republican politics, was among a number of business executives who bought the Inquirer and its sister paper, the Philadelphia Daily News, from the McClatchy Company in 2006 for $562 million.
So let me get this straight: It was actually the REPUBLICAN forcing his view on the newsroom and using his power and influence to try and sway an election?

Attack the tactic? Bad strategy, John.
September 29, 2008 by lestro 2 Comments
I think I just got to the heart of the problem in the George W. Bush Administration, as well as the would-be sequel of the McCampaign.
It is a delicate, but incredible important distinction between strategies and tactics.
Friday in the debate, during a discussion about the 2003 troop surge in Iraq, Barack Obama said:
They have done a brilliant job, and General Petraeus has done a brilliant job. But understand, that was a tactic designed to contain the damage of the previous four years of mismanagement of this war.
And so John likes — John, you like to pretend like the war started in 2007. You talk about the surge. The war started in 2003, and at the time when the war started, you said it was going to be quick and easy. You said we knew where the weapons of mass destruction were. You were wrong.
You said that we were going to be greeted as liberators. You were wrong. You said that there was no history of violence between Shiite and Sunni. And you were wrong.
John McCain, following this eloquent and succinct dressing down of his judgment, put on his most condescending face, flicked his tongue a few times and did exactly what the Karl Rove playbook says to do.
He belittled his opponent, plugged the message and changed the subject:
MCCAIN: I'm afraid Senator Obama doesn't understand the difference between a tactic and a strategy. But the important — I'd like to tell you, two Fourths of July ago I was in Baghdad. General Petraeus invited Senator Lindsey Graham and me to attend a ceremony where 688 brave young Americans, whose enlistment had expired, were reenlisting to stay and fight for Iraqi freedom and American freedom.
I was honored to be there. I was honored to speak to those troops. And you know, afterwards, we spent a lot of time with them. And you know what they said to us? They said, let us win. They said, let us win. We don't want our kids coming back here.
And this strategy, and this general, they are winning. Senator Obama refuses to acknowledge that we are winning in Iraq.
With McCain's storied military career, his dressing down his younger opponent on the difference between a strategy and a tactic carries some weight.
Unfortunately, as Joe Biden pointed out in the immediate spin (which was not countered by the other veep candidate, by the way. hmmm…), McCain was wrong and Obama was right.
A strategy is a big picture goal while a tactic is what you use to help achieve those. In the case of the surge, the strategy was "Clear, hold and build" – the tactic used to try and accomplish it was a temporary increase in troop levels.
In a broader sense, the strategy was to use the military to tamp down violence and create breathing room for the diplomatic operations to take hold and allow us to get out. The tactic that was used to allow the military to tamp down the violence was "the surge".

Making the case to replace Firehall #1
by admin|Published September 15, 2017
Fire Chief John Iverson speaks with media about the need to replace Firehall #1. Bill Phillips photo
BY BILL PHILLIPS
bill@pgdailynews.ca
Prince George's largest fire truck, the one with the longest ladder, doesn't live downtown where all the tall buildings are.
It is stationed in Firehall #2 because it doesn't fit in Firehall #1 downtown. It's just one of the many reasons why the city is seeking approval from the electorate to borrow up to $15 million to replace Firehall #1.
"This is a modern, platform aerial device," said Fire Chief John Iverson of the big ladder truck. "If I had my choice, this truck would be stationed Firehall #1 downtown where most of our high rise occupancies are."
Inside Firehall #1, quarters are cramped for the firefighters in the 60-year-old building.
"The general condition of this building … it's tired," said Iverson. "It's been around for a while and we need a change."
From small rooms to an exercise room that doubles as a fire training room, every nook and cranny is crammed with some sort of equipment. When the city started taking in evacuees from the Cariboo wildfires this summer, the issue of the crowed firehall really became evident. Standard protocol in such situations is to establish an emergency operations centre at a firehall, as it has emergency personnel and dispatch capabilities.
The emergency operations centre at the firehall quickly became overcrowded and unworkable and the centre was moved to the Civic Centre.
In addition, the firehall is not built to modern building standards in that firehalls nowadays are constructed to, hopefully, withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes.

"Those things were never considered when these building were constructed," he said. "Any modern fire station is going to built to a post-disaster standard based on what the requirements of the region are."
He said the cost to upgrading the current building to post-disaster standard would be very expensive, he said, and is just not feasible.
While a new building will make the firefighters more comfortable in better working surroundings, one of the most compelling reasons to move the firehall to the proposed new location on Massey Drive is response time.
Eight minutes is the magic number for optimum response times. If fire crews can get to fire within eight minutes, they have much better chance of fighting it effectively.
"The proposed new location provides an eight-minute response coverage area that's 50 per cent larger than the one we have right now," he said. "That's really important. We want to get our crews to the scene within eight minutes because that gives us the best chance to confine a fire to the room of origin … That's one of the key things when you build a fire station is you build it where it's going to provide the best service."
When asked what he'll miss about Firehall #1 should the referendum be successful, Iverson said "I won't miss this building … it's at the end of its useful life."
The city hosting several public sessions on replacing the firehall, and Four Seasons Pool, leading up to the October 28 referendum.
An open house will be held at the current and proposed sites of Fire Hall #1 on Saturday, September 16 from 9 a.m. to noon (current site at Seventh and Dominion) and at the proposed site on Massey Drive (next to the Northern BC YMCA) near the intersection with Carney Street from 1 p.m. until 4 p.m. City officials will be stationed at a white tent on-site.
Four Seasons Leisure Pool – An open house will be held at the current site of the Four Seasons Leisure Pool at 775 Dominion Street on Wednesday, October 18 from 4:30-8 p.m.
Two digital town halls will be held in council chambers at 6 p.m. on September 19 (Fire Hall #1) and September 20 (Four Seasons Leisure Pool). Media have been invited to participate as a panel to ask questions posed to them by their respective audiences directly to the mayor and city officials. The video from the events, which will be held in council chambers at City Hall, will be streamed live on the city's website (www.princegeorge.ca) and on its Facebook page (www.facebook.com/cityofpg). Residents can also attend in person.

Q: How to create var names in Javascript from JSON property I need to set simple var in Javascript, named after JSON properties from a loop on each JSON rows. Their values would also come from JSON.
For example, here is my template:var paris = {lat: 48.866667, lng: 2.333333};
But with a loop on the Json rows
var json[i].code = {lat: json[i].latitude, lng: json[i].longitude};
Here is my JS code, so far I couldn't figure out how to make it work ... Thanks for your precious help.
function initMap() {

  //my template
    var paris = {lat: 48.866667, lng: 2.333333};

    //my actual data
    var json=[{"code":"london","latitude":"50.633333","longitude":"3.066667"},{"code":"berlin","latitude":"47.478419","longitude":"-0.563166"}];

    //my code to create my vars from Json
    for( var i=0;i< json.length; i++ ){
        var json[i].code = "{lat:" + json[i].latitude + " , lng: " +json[i].longitude +" }";
        }
    }
}

A: Here is a conversion using Array.reduce which works back to IE10:

function initMap() {
  //Your template
  var paris = {lat: 48.866667, lng: 2.333333};

  //Your actual data
  var json =[
    {"code":"london","latitude":"50.633333","longitude":"3.066667"},
    {"code":"berlin","latitude":"47.478419","longitude":"-0.563166"}
  ];

  //Code to create new Object
  var newObj = json.reduce((obj, data) => {
    obj[data.code] = {lat:data.latitude, lng: data.longitude};
    return obj;
  }, {});

  console.log(JSON.stringify(newObj,0,2));
}

initMap();

This converts each entry into an entry in a new object using the value for code as the key and the new data is a object that matches your requirements.

A: First, when a variable is declared, you should not use the keyword var before like this: var json[i].code, juste write: json[i].code.
Then, when you use JSON inside your code, you don't need to put anything between two "" in Javascript.
Just do this:
{
  latitude: 50.6,
  longitude: 50.7
}

And not this:
"{
  latitude: 50.6,
  longitude: 50.7
}"

Then, you have the result :

function initMap() {
    var paris = {
        lat: 48.866667,
        lng: 2.333333
    };

    var json = [
        {
            code: "london",
            latitude: 50.633333,
            longitude: 3.066667
        },
        {
            code: "berlin",
            latitude: 47.478419,
            longitude: -0.563166
        }
    ];

    //my code to create my vars from Json
    for(var i = 0; i < json.length; i++){
        json[i] = {
            code: json[i].code,
            lat: json[i].latitude,
            lng: json[i].longitude
        };
    }

    console.log(json);
}

initMap();

A: function initMap() {

  //my template
    var paris = {lat: 48.866667, lng: 2.333333};

    //my actual data
    var json=[{"code":"london","latitude":"50.633333","longitude":"3.066667"},{"code":"berlin","latitude":"47.478419","longitude":"-0.563166"}];

    //my code to create my vars from Json
    for( var i=0;i< json.length; i++ ){
        var obj = {};
        obj.lat = json[i].latitude;
        obj.lng = json[i].longitude;
        window[json[i].code] = obj;
    }
}

A: If I understand correctly, you are trying to create an individual variable for each row.
You can do this with either global variables by using the window property or if you want it locally scoped to the function you can instead create a local parent object.

//Defining the variables globally
function initMapGlobal() {

    //my template
    var paris = {
        lat: 48.866667,
        lng: 2.333333
    };

    //my actual data
    var json = [{
        "code": "london",
        "latitude": "50.633333",
        "longitude": "3.066667"
    }, {
        "code": "berlin",
        "latitude": "47.478419",
        "longitude": "-0.563166"
    }];

    //my code to create my vars from Json
    for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
        window[json[i].code] = JSON.parse('{"lat":' + json[i].latitude + ' , "lng": ' + json[i].longitude + ' }');
    }
}

initMapGlobal();
console.log('Outside of Function - Global');
console.log('Variable Value: ', london);
console.log('Value of London Latitude: ', london.lat);
console.log('\n**************\n');

//Defining the variables local to the function
function initMapLocal() {
    var cityParent = {};

    //my template
    var paris = {
        lat: 48.866667,
        lng: 2.333333
    };

    //my actual data
    var json = [{
        "code": "london",
        "latitude": "50.633333",
        "longitude": "3.066667"
    }, {
        "code": "berlin",
        "latitude": "47.478419",
        "longitude": "-0.563166"
    }];

    //my code to create my vars from Json
    for (var i = 0; i < json.length; i++) {
        cityParent[json[i].code] = JSON.parse('{"lat":' + json[i].latitude + ' , "lng": ' + json[i].longitude + ' }');
    }

    console.log('Inside of function:');
    console.log('Variable Value: ', cityParent.london);
    console.log('Value of London Latitude: ', cityParent.london.lat);
    console.log('\n**************\n');
}

initMapLocal();
console.log('Outside of function: (these will crash because they are local)');
console.log('Variable Value: ', cityParent.london);
console.log('Value of London Latitude: ', cityParent.london.lat);

3 (3) NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COMMUNITY LOTTERY – The Director of Policy and Resources submitted a report informing the Cabinet Members of opportunities associated with a community lottery for North Lincolnshire and seeking approval to undertake a soft market testing exercise.
In October 2015 the Policy and Resources Cabinet Member approved a Commercial Strategy 2015-19 (minute 26 refers). The strategy set out the council's vision, aspirations and ambition for future income generation. The changing landscape for local government demanded innovation in service delivery in order for councils to achieve their financial plans and corporate strategy objectives.
Lotteries had long been a way for small organisations and charities to raise income. They were regulated by the Gambling Act 2005 and those running lotteries needed to be licensed by the Gambling Commission. There were eight different types of lottery recognised in the legislation, including a specific "local authority lottery".
The council could appoint an External Lottery Manager (ELM) to manage the lottery on its behalf in accordance with the Gambling Act 2005 subject to obtaining the necessary consents from the Gambling Commission.
Initial research had shown that there were in excess of twenty licensed ELMs in the market place and it was proposed that a soft market testing exercise was undertaken, followed immediately by the procurement of an external lottery manager and application for a lottery operator licence.
Resolved – (a) That a soft market testing exercise of External Lottery Managers, to inform the business case and contract specification, be approved, and (b) that a procurement process and application for local authority operating licence be initiated immediately following the conclusion of the soft market testing exercise.
