Dhahran — Dhahran Hills School launched its first International Day fair to celebrate the diversity of the student body, drawing more than 3,000 visitors. Each of "51 nations" that participated in the fair showcased its characteristic, uniqueness, and culture through food, costumes, posters, artifacts, languages, games, dance, art, and decorations on Feb. 27.
The outdoor festival at the school's covered playground was organized and executed for the first time by parents, said Sadia Yousufi, a mother who led a team to prepare for this event starting in October last year.
The number of visitors was a tenfold increase of what the school had expected. "It feels surreal. We had only expected some 300 to 400 visitors. The turnout far exceeded our expectation," said Tabitha Pugh, who is a teacher, parent, and another one of the organizers.

Eye-catching costumes donned by parents and children of different cultures stood out at the fair where students learned to fold Japanese origami, use chopsticks, write Chinese calligraphy, play Malaysian marble games, speak French, Tagalog, and others.
"I like everything, but I mostly like the food," said seven-year-old Gabriela Bautista.
Sampling food from each country was everyone's must-do activity while a food truck and a shawarma stand were there to top up visitors' stomachs. "We want to make sure people are fed because it runs through dinner time," said Pugh.
"It's a great event, very well organized. Almost all the countries participated in this with lots of support from parents," said Aadil Nabi, a father of three children.

One special area was carved out to display the culture of Saudi Arabia, sponsored by the Community Services Department. Inside the tents, the department provided activities such as Henna design, an introduction to the sport of falconry, Arabic calligraphy, arts and crafts display, traditional cuisine, demonstration of flat bread making, weaving, dance, and a photo booth.
"Saudi has the biggest display. If there were a contest between each nation, they are going to win," said Nabi.
Industrial Security officers were there to campaign for safety awareness while a special search unit introduced two K-9 dogs and explained their work to the children.
Other than the outdoor activities, a lineup of indoor performances were held in the school gym, including a Bollywood dance, a Latino performance, choirs, and a parade with children carrying different national flags.

Q: How to achieve cross domain SSO given that third party cookies are disabled by default in browsers? I am trying to work on a cross-domain SSO.
I have a single central auth domain and couple of other domains (not sub domains. these are completely different ). Once you click on login, you should be taken to the central auth domain, and tokens should be set there either in localStorage or cookies, either is fine.
The problem is getting the tokens on the other domains.
Could you help me with how google is able is set token on youtube.com without ever visiting or redirecting to it?
Follow this to understand what I mean,

*

*Open youtube.com in one tab and checkout its cookies tab.

*Open accounts.google.com in another tab and checkout its cookies tab. (notice there are cookies for accounts.youtube.com, which means there is an iframe for accounts.youtube.com on accounts.google.com. Ignore this point for now, more on this later)

*Login with credentials on accounts.google.com (notice it did not visit/redirect to youtube.com even once)

*Come back to tab with youtube.com and refresh its cookies, you will see a bunch of new cookies set.

How is accounts.google.com able to set cookies for youtube.com?
I could see that accounts.google.com has an iframe for accounts.youtube.com but how is accounts.google.com able to set cookies on the iframe.
I tried the exact same setup as well, ie, open my real app in an iframe in SSO domain and after login try to set the cookie on the real app and redirect but on trying to set cookie, nothing happens. No error, nothing. If I disable the third-party cookie protection, I am able to set the cookie. How is google achieving this feat even with third-party cookies disabled?
I tried 2 approaches but both fail.
1)I tried opening an iframe of this central auth in my real app and getting info from cookie and localStorage but both don't work, they just return null when in an iframe. (it works if i disable the third-party cookie protections)

*I tried a setup same as google login flow as well, ie, open my real app in an iframe in SSO domain and after login try to set the cookie on the real app and redirect but on trying to set cookie, nothing happens. No error, nothing.

If I disable the third-party cookie protection, I am able to set the cookie in both approaches. How is google achieving this feat even with third-party cookies disabled?

W elcome to Rolling Stone's 2021 Musicians on Musicians package, the annual franchise where two great artists come together for a free, open conversation about life and music. Each story in this year's series will appear in our November 2021 print issue, hitting stands on November 2nd — with four special covers, including this one. We'll be rolling out all 10 stories this week and next, so check back often.
If anyone can understand the roller coaster that Olivia Rodrigo has been on this year, it's Alanis Morissette. The two songwriters — who are big fans of each other's music, but have never met before today — sit facing one another in dark blazers in a San Francisco warehouse overlooking the Pacific. Morissette rocks firecracker-red heels, while Rodrigo is disco-ready in platform leather boots that she swears are comfortable.
Prior to the interview, they casually discuss topics that range from Halloween (Rodrigo's favorite holiday) to Germany (where Morissette briefly lived as a child). Soon, they get more personal, with Morissette asking Rodrigo if she has any tattoos. "No! I just turned 18!" Rodrigo says with a laugh. "I feel like if I do one, I'm going to want to do so many more." Her idol offers a word of advice: "Don't get a tattoo unless you've been married 47 years."
Rodrigo and Morissette might be nearly 30 years apart, but they've gone down similar paths. Both began as child actors (Rodrigo on Disney+'s High School Musical: The Musical: The Series; Morissette on the Canadian sketch show You Can't Do That on Television). Both of their careers exploded beyond their wildest expectations when they switched their focus to music, releasing blockbuster albums that used intensely personal details to strike universal chords of heartbreak. They even both have hit singles whose music videos feature them navigating mixed feelings in a moving vehicle ("Drivers License" and "Ironic").
"I love how you're so honest and talk about stuff that normally isn't talked about in songwriting," says Rodrigo, whose album, Sour, is one of the year's most streamed by a healthy margin. "Well, you're doing the same," replies Morissette, 47, who's been touring to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jagged Little Pill. "I'm excited. I went down many rabbit holes knowing I was going to meet you."
"Oh, my gosh," Rodrigo says. "I'm going to blush."
Rodrigo: I remember having my mind blown when I was 13. I was in the car with my parents listening to Jagged Little Pill. I remember hearing "Perfect," and I was like, "Oh, my God." I told my music teacher a couple days after: "You can write songs like that?" I just looked at music and songwriting in a completely different way.
Morissette: What was it about that song? Was it the perfectionism theme, or was it just the idea of stream of consciousness?
Rodrigo: I just think that's something me and all of my friends had felt so acutely for so long, and I'd never heard somebody talk about it — even in general, in conversation, and definitely never in a song that's so popular.
It's really hard to sing about what you sing about sometimes. Maybe it's not hard for you, but as a listener … I went to see Jagged Little Pill on Broadway before lockdown, and that was the first time I heard "So Unsexy." I remember being like, "I can't believe she's saying all of this stuff." Stuff that is so, so vulnerable and intimate. That was another moment where I was like, "Wow, songwriting can be so much bigger than I imagined it in my head."
Morissette: I don't know what your process is around songwriting. For me, when I first write it, it's just for myself. It's me alone in a room.
Rodrigo: Always, yeah.
Morissette: And then when it's shared publicly, it's no longer mine. It's still my story, and I'm really intrigued when I hear other people's interpretations of it, because sometimes it's a direct match to what my experience was. Other times it has nothing to do with where I was coming from. It's just been beautifully co-opted by whoever's listening.
But the process does start with it just being very intimate, literally alone. A lot of people have said to me very generously, like you just did, "Wow, that's so brave," and I wonder what part of it is brave, because it just doesn't feel brave to me [laughs]. It just feels like a mandatory experience to the point where if I'm not doing that — if I'm not expressing myself in that way — I'd probably get sick really fast.
Rodrigo: That's fascinating.
Morissette: What about you? Is it a mandatory thing? If you're not writing or expressing yourself, do you start eating your own hand?
Rodrigo: I try to write every day. I'm the same way: I write solely for myself. I think if I tried to sit down at the piano and be like, "I'm going to write a song that everyone likes and that resonates with people!" it's never any good.
I've been trying to put out songs and realize they're not mine anymore. I can't tell you how many songs that I've listened to and been like, "Oh, my gosh, that artist totally wrote it for me and my situation," and they never did. You know what I mean?
Morissette: No, they did! [Laughs.]
Rodrigo: A hundred percent. They knew every minutia of what I'm going through. But that's what's beautiful about art — you can just fill in the gaps with pieces of your own life. By trying to feel like you can control what people project onto it, it loses magic.
Morissette: The projection is sometimes intense, but I feel like people in the public eye and artists in particular are social activists by mistake, because we're these screens upon which people project everything. They project light, they project what's wrong, they project what they hate. My dad told me when I was really young — I think I was maybe seven — he said, "Sweetheart, there's three ways people will perceive you in the world: They're going to love you and you can do no wrong, they're going to hate you and you can do no right, or they just won't give a shit. It's going to be one of those three, so enjoy!"
I kept that in mind, because ultimately people who are close to us want to feel seen and understood to some degree. We're on tour right now, and every night onstage is this invitation to whatever you see up here or whatever you're perceiving. I don't know what your experience is performing live, but it's like a churn. It's like taking the energy and really alchemically crunching it out of my body, but also getting it out.
Rodrigo: That's funny you say that. I've really never played a proper show before in my life, which is kind of strange, because I put out my record in quarantine.
Morissette: Right, how was that?
Rodrigo: I honestly loved it. I put out my first song, which did really well, and I didn't expect any of that sort of success so early on. I think had I not just been doing the same thing that I had always been doing and writing songs in my bedroom, maybe I would have gotten a little more in my head about it than I did.
Morissette: So it's released, and there's no way really to anticipate any receptivity. Then it was received by a lot of people in a very excited way. How did you navigate that at first? I mean, you're still in it, obviously.
Rodrigo: We had a similar experience, where we had a really successful debut album, which is weird. At least for me, it felt super-quick. It felt overnight, and I've been working and writing songs since I was five years old. It definitely wasn't overnight. But the "I'm writing songs in my bedroom" to "Oh, my gosh, lots of people know this song" was really quick for me. I feel obviously so lucky, but sometimes it just feels like it doesn't have to do with me.
Morissette: It's impersonal.
Rodrigo: Yeah. I always think that creativity is sometimes really magical and celestial, and if you're a vessel for an amazing song, that's awesome, but sometimes it doesn't have anything to do with you. I try to not attach a lot of ego to it.
Morissette: Well, that's deeply wise.
Rodrigo: How did you handle it when your album came out? Did you have any hard times dealing with criticism or the spotlight?
Morissette: All eyes on the fishbowl. There was a lot of bullying and a lot of jealousy and a lot of people whom I'd adored my whole life being mean girls.
Rodrigo: Same!
Morissette: Somewhere around 22, I stopped reading everything because it wasn't really relevant to my personal growth and evolution. I had enough people around me who would point out blind spots whether I wanted them to or not. And I love therapy, so I've always had a huge team of therapists. But at the end of the day it became "Who do I feel seen by?"
Rodrigo: I've had a very similar experience. Putting out music in the age of social media can be really daunting, and I think people hold young women to an incredibly unrealistic standard. I've taken the same route as you have and just don't look at it.
I don't think anyone is meant to look at that stuff. I don't think we as human beings are supposed to know what thousands of people think about what we wore or what we said or how we talk. I think having that separation is really important — realizing that that's not real life, you know what I mean? That world that is created online, it's just one facet of this very big human existence.
Morissette: People ask me what I think of Instagram and everything, and I just think it's like a storefront in New York at Christmastime. It's presentational.
Rodrigo: Exactly. It's just hard for me because I had my first Instagram when I was 12 years old. So I completely had all of my adolescence in front of people, and I think it's hard to differentiate who you are as a person versus who you are as a person on Instagram.
For a long time, I had a hard time separating those two things. I could be kind and smart and have all of these awesome things, but if I didn't showcase them on Instagram and nobody saw it, did it truly happen?
Morissette: There are so many differences in our generations, and I'm thinking about the social media aspect and to what degree self is defined in today's era through that.
Rodrigo: Something I think is really interesting, too, is that you used to be a child actor. So was I. Do you think that acting helped you be more in touch with your emotions in songwriting? In a certain way, that's how I felt with it.
Morissette: What made it so that acting helped you in your expression process?
Rodrigo: I think it helped me be able to tap into certain emotions like that. I remember actually going to my first acting lesson when I was 11 years old and crying in this scene and feeling this sense of catharsis and being like, "Oh, this is like therapy." I think that translates into music as well. I wrote a couple songs on my record literally crying at my piano.
You've both made hugely successful albums about heartbreak. What is it about that topic that attracts so many fans?
Rodrigo: I think heartbreak is so universal — the feeling that lots of humans feel the most deeply. I've never felt as deep a sadness as I did when I was truly, truly heartbroken and devastated. Putting "Drivers License" out was such a unique experience because I've lived this sort of weird life. I grew up on set and didn't go to school like everyone else did. I was like, "Are my songs going to be relatable?"
And when I put out "Drivers License," about this really hard time in my life, I watched it just affect so many people, regardless of sexual orientation or gender or age. There would be 40-year-old guys that would come up to me and be like, "Wow, that really struck me." Even if they weren't going through a situation like that, they were like, "Oh, it takes me right back to when I was in high school and I went through my first heartbreak." That was so magical for me, to not only see how universal that feeling was, but also how magical music can be and it can take you back to a specific point in time. You can hear everything and taste everything and smell everything, and that's so unique to music.
Morissette: I think love and anger and pain are energies that move worlds. They open things up, they start the currents moving again if something's stuck. If we're depressed or riddled with anxiety — and they usually go hand in hand — in order to move out of that a tiny bit, maybe conjuring a little anger is going to help. What I love for my music to be able to provide is just this intimacy, and it's an invitation for our humanity. There's this whole current of what it is to be human that is overlooked by culture. Enter music. Music is this giant allowance for whatever messy, gorgeous, luminous, terrifying thing that's going on. It's like a permission button.
Rodrigo: Pressure of a sophomore album is something that I've been thinking about a lot, too. I don't know if you felt that pressure.
Morissette: After Jagged Little Pill, everywhere I went, every grocery store ever was "When's your next record? I hate men, too!" I didn't want to write it right away. There's a lot of pressure to rise to some odd occasion or bar. For me, it's about snapshots of what's happening in your life now — including that pressure.
Rodrigo: Did you have a hard time with your relationship being pulled apart and poked and prodded and wanting details of your personal life that you don't feel comfortable giving?
Morissette: Yeah. When I write songs, I'm not writing them to ruin someone's life. If I were doing that, I'd probably give names and addresses. None of these songs are written to eviscerate someone or seek overt revenge, although I think revenge fantasy is awesome. Revenge fantasy is everything to me.
I don't know the degree to which you have a formal mission or intentionality or whether you're just busy living it, but something about the servicefulness of continuing to show up keeps me here. I'm curious: What would keep you here? If you see yourself making music when you're 75, do you have a sense of what would keep you going?
Rodrigo: I think about that all the time, because sometimes it seems a little strange why someone would want this and bring it upon themselves.
Morissette: Oh, it's cruel.
Rodrigo: It's like, to want to be the president of the United States, you have to have this weird thing. It's so much pressure and criticism.
I don't really know that answer. I think what keeps me going is that love of writing a song in your bedroom and being like, "That perfectly captures how I feel better than anything I could have said in a conversation."
Morissette: Seeing the profound effect that some of the songs can have on people across from me just really keeps me in the game.
Rodrigo: I love that. How is touring? I'm just curious, I've never been on tour. I'm very excited for the day when I get to be a mom like you and just wondering how that is, touring with your kids.
Morissette: Well, if anyone asks you whether you want to go on tour with your three children during Covid, you should say "Hell no." Touring is the greatest; I've been touring on and off since I was 15 years old. I am a bona fide road dog.
Rodrigo: I'm going to go see you at the Hollywood Bowl, too.
Morissette: Oh good!
Rodrigo: I feel like I'd regret it if I didn't ask if you had any advice for me growing up in this industry.
Morissette: Wow. If I could have done anything differently, I would have had a few more friends around me, period. Just a little bit more emotional support, someone where you could vent with them and process with them. It was lovely to journal about it, but if I could go back in time, I would have conjured a few really deeply loving, unconditionally caring people around me to just check in with me. Do you have that?
Rodrigo: I hope so, yeah.
Morissette: Let's make sure you have that. I'll send you a kit. A survive-on-the-road kit for the sensitive soul.
Alanis Morissette,

 *
 * DataBag provides an Iterator interface, that allows callers to read

So I don't know that I would label myself a food blogger per se but at times I blog and there is food involved.
And let's not even pretend I have great kitchen lighting to capture the essence of whatever I'm trying to show you at the time. Actually there's no really good lighting in my house at all. Yeah it gets the job done but I'm not just shooting for getting the job done, I'm shooting for that shot that evokes that feeling in you that I get when I take that first bite into it! I bake too and I needed to take better pics of that for sure so i did some research into food photography.
The collective answer to better food pics is to first use natural light. That is not an option for me most times, as is the case for a lot of others. So that means using some good artificial light. Not the overhead kitchen light I have, not the flash on my camera phone, not the stove light but actual photography light.
I found a lot of people that said the Ego light was the way to go, and it's relatively cheap for good quality photography lighting but I couldn't find any for less than $150 and all of it was basically back ordered anyway.
In comes the DIY, inspiration via a lot of others attempts to recreate the ego light on a budget. I didn't take pics of my process because well I was trying to do it by myself and there's lots of tutorials you can check out if you're so inclined. I was happy that most people said it was less than $30 to make one as compared to the $150 + shipping.
Also, these are my terrible pics of the thing itself but like you get the idea right?
(this is a view of the back, i added some extra supports? also you can see the second one I made in the back ) I did a terrible job at cutting thru the foam board cleanly but my light works so i don't care much.
The cross stitch was 15″ x 18″ and the board was 20″x30″ so I cut about 2 inches off the 2″ side.
I measured how big i wanted the "back of the lightbox" to be and found that i needed a 8″-9″ center panel. So i scored a 9″ panel into the center and bent the sides in to make my light box shape.
I used the hole of the light kit to see how big i needed to make a center hole for it to fit thru and then screwed 2 of the bulbs into the double socket adapter and then into the light kit.
I measured on the second sheet of foam board a base and top and hot glued it on.
Then i used masking tape to place the cross stitch mesh in the front.

In 2020 the Nigerian economy shrank by 1.8%, its deepest decline since 1983. The COVID-19 crisis drove the economic slowdown; the external context was marked by capital outflows, intensified risk aversion, low oil prices and shrinking foreign remittances. Published by the World Bank, the Nigeria Development Update Resilience through Reforms states that reforms implemented by the Nigerian government
nnovation has brought us to an inflection point; the coming decade will be decisive When we gathered in Paris in 2015 to hammer out the historic climate deal, few of us dared hope that by 2021 more than 60 countries—representing over half of global emissions—would have committed to net zero emissions by mid-century.

Ukrainian TB2 Bayraktar drone 'bombed oil depots deep inside Russia'
Source says Turkish-made armed drone hit the fuel storages in Russia's Bryansk, breaching advanced air defences
A screengrab from footage showing the fuel depot fire in Bryansk, Russia on 25 April (social media)
Ragip Soylu
Published date: 27 April 2022 13:49 UTC | Last update: 9 months ago
A Turkish-supplied armed drone is believed to have been used by Ukraine to hit two oil depots well inside Russian territory on Monday, bringing the war behind the frontlines and embarrassing Russia's air defences.
A person familiar with the incident told Middle East Eye that a Turkish-made TB2 Bayraktar was used in the attack that took place in Bryansk, a small city 370km south of Moscow.
Though Ukraine is believed to have been behind a similar helicopter attack on 1 April on a fuel depot in Belgorod, this latest raid was more significant because it succeeded in breaching Russia's air defences and flying at least 150km deep into Russian territory.
Russian state media said a fire broke out at a civilian oil depot in Bryansk holding 10,000 tonnes of fuel. It reported a second fire at a military fuel depot holding 5,000 tonnes. The city is considered a logistics base for the Russian military's war effort in Ukraine.
#Russia: Early today, 2 oil storage depots (Civil & Military) were hit by explosions & subsequent large fires in #Bryansk. Some fires continue 12+ hours later.
Whilst officially unconfirmed, info we have reliably received states that they were caused by UA TB-2 drone strikes. pic.twitter.com/o3F70FN0F5
— 🇺🇦 Ukraine Weapons Tracker (@UAWeapons) April 25, 2022
Stijn Mitzer, an arms expert who runs popular defence blog Oryx, told MEE that a TB2 Bayraktar's use in the attack was plausible, despite a lack of footage released by Ukrainians.
"The reason that you don't see footage is because Russia is still firing missiles at the bases from which the TB2s operate," he said. "If they would post images, Russia would feel pressured to retaliate even harder."
Russian reports indicated that Ukraine lost a TB2 the same day in Russia's Kursk oblast after the fuel bombings in Bryansk, possibly while en route back to base.
"This raid was conducted deep into Russian airspace," Mitzer said, adding that it was comparable to "the daring raids during World War II, infiltrating deep into enemy territory during the night."
Russia-Ukraine war: Turkey's Bayraktar TB2 drones proving effective against Russian forces
According to Mitzer, even if Ukraine loses a TB2, as they have now, it's more than worth the effort in terms of material and morale.
The source familiar with the Ukrainian raid also confirmed that a TB2 Bayraktar played a role in sinking the guided-missile carrier Moskva, the flagship of Russia's Black Sea Fleet, on 14 April.
"Ukraine's anti-ship missile Neptune has some guiding issues. A TB2 Bayraktar must have resolved it by pinpointing the ship," the source said.
Ukraine and Turkey have close defence industry cooperation, a relationship that has flourished in recent years. The TB2's producer Baykar, which has close ties to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's family, was building a plant in Ukraine before the war.
Ukrainian companies also produce the TB2's engines, and Turkey has sold more than 20 Bayraktars to Kyiv over the course of the past two years.
Frequent flights between Turkey and Poland over the last two months indicate that Turkey has continued to deliver TB2s and its MAM-L ammunition to Kyiv. Some experts believe six or 12 more TB2 have been delivered as agreed before the war.
TB2s have a proven track record of success against several adversaries in conflicts in Libya, Syria and Nagorno-Karabakh, yet they have never faced an army with sophisticated electronic warfare capabilities and state-of-the-art air defence systems until the Russian invasion in Ukraine.
So far they have proved themselves effective in combatting Russian troops deployed deep inside Ukrainian territory, even though Russia's units have had advanced weaponry and air defence systems.
"Although we don't have enough input to definitely assess the platform and munitions of choice, Ukraine hitting a critical logistics point in Russian territory is militarily critical," Can Kasapoglu, director of defence at Istanbul-based think tank EDAM, told MEE.
"We saw that in Belgorod before, but this incident is definitely more serious. If confirmed as a Ukrainian strike, the attack would mark yet another blow to the Russian campaign."

Some of the laptops these days don't have a CD/DVD drive. I just bought one and noticed that it lacks a CD/DVD drive. I did a lot of research on how to install software on a laptop without a CD drive. As many of you are switching to lighter and newer laptops, that don't have the traditional CD ROM drive (cutting the cost and weight though), you must be going through the same problem. This issue can be solved by buying an external drive and plugging it to your laptop via USB, but there are more ways to install software on a computer without a CD drive. So I thought to share a few methods for installing software from a CD to a laptop without a CD drive.
How to Install the software by using an external USB drive?
In the USB port of your laptop, you can plug any external CD/DVD drive. You need to follow these steps for using an external USB drive for installing software on your computer.
In the USB port of your laptop, you need to plug USB cable.
Check the documentation which came along the USB CD/DVD drive for instructions on using and installing your external hard drive.
After installation of the drive, now insert CD of the software in the drive and further proceed with installing the software.
If you are using another computer equipped with a CD/DVD drive. You can easily copy the files of the software CD on the USB thumb drive and then transfer to the laptop having no CD drive. To install software by using the USB thumb drive, follow these steps.
Insert software CD in the CD/DVD drive.
In Windows XP, you have to click start, then my computer, and double click on the CD/DVD drive. In Windows Vista, you have to click start, then the computer, and double click on the CD/DVD drive.
Insert the USB thumb drive in the USB port on your laptop having a CD/DVD drive.
If autoplay window appeared, click on an open folder to view files, and then select OK. If autoplay window dint looks, the USB thumb drive needs to open by clicking start, then computer/my computer, and double-click the corresponding disk.
A new folder needs to be created on the USB thumb drive and name the new folder according to the software you are installing.
Open the new folder and paste it there.
Close the window, once the file transferred, now remove the USB thumb drive from your laptop.
Now insert this USB thumb drive on the USB port on your laptop which isn't having a CD drive.
On the software folder right click and select copy while on the blank area of your screen, right click and choose paste.
After the file transfer completed, double-click on the software folder to open it.
Locate the file and double click it for proceeding further with the installation.
A disk drive can quickly access over the network with sharing as a network share. If the laptop having a disk drive is on the same system where the computer without the disk drive is, then the disk drive can easily be shared over the network.

25 Hot Kristanna Loken Photos That Will Make Your Day Better
Celebrity Ass, Celebrity Bikini, Celebrity Boobs, Hot Celebrities, Hot Movie Stars 31 Views
Kristanna Loken is known for her badass skills in several action movies like Terminator 3. Because of her gorgeous looks and tall frame, FHM magazine named her one of the "100 Sexiest Women in the World".
Kristanna Loken was born in 1979 in Ghent, New York. Together with her family, Loken lived a quiet farm life. She is the daughter of a former model and a screenplay writer. Her family came from a rich ancestry of German and Norwegian descent.
It was Loken's mother who encouraged her to be a model. At the age of 15, she began her modeling career. One of her first modeling competitions is in the 1994 Elite Model Look, where she won third runner-up.
In the same year, Loken began her career as an actress in the American soap opera As the World Turns as Danielle Andropoulos. Since then, she appeared as a guest star in several TV shows such as New York Undercover, Law & Order, and Aliens in the Family, to name a few.
Loken landed on her first leading role in the martial arts TV series Mortal Kombat: Conquest in 1998. She also starred in the TV movie Dark Kingdom: The Dragon King as Queen Brunhild. Her last leading role on TV is in the sci-fi series Painkiller Jane in 2007.
Besides her small-screen roles, Loken landed on her big break in the sci-fi action film Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines alongside Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger. She played the role of T-X, a cyborg assassin.
Her performance earned an MTV Movie Award as the Sexiest She-Villain and two nominations from Saturn Awards for Best Supporting Actress and Face of the Future.
Since then, Loken has been stereotyped as a female action star. She starred in several fantasy and action films such as BloodRayne, In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, and Black Rose.

You've seen the TV show yet? It's pretty good, right? And I'm liking that black ninja suit. It's far more slimming than maroon. And since you must assume by now that the outfit originated in the comics, I'll clear up all your suspicions today. Don't think this is like Superman's mullet or Superman's electric suit or something that lasts for far longer than it should. Daredevil wears this suit for just three issues in Daredevil: Man Without Fear #3-5, written by Frank Miller and drawn by John Romita Jr.
This miniseries chronicled Daredevil's first days as the superhero, like Batman: Year One does. They skip over the yellow costume.
It's the darkest Disney movie of all time. The captured kids sing a united song to protest their bad guys captors to the same success it worked in The Hunger Games. Recognize this above scene of Daredevil rocking the top of warehouses near the dock? Recognize a woman being thrown into a storage container to be sold as part of a human trafficking ring? Of course you do. The TV show recreated the scene from the comic as the very first scene in the show.
I like Daredevil in sneakers. What do most superheroes wear? Boots? They're certainly practical and can take more punishment, but when you'll be perched on a rooftop for eight hours a night, you'll want something comfortable. The final issue of the miniseries mainly consists of Daredevil beating the crap out of everybody with his nightstick and overwhelming grit, but I'm going to skip most of that to show you only the single frame pages. They're cool and you deserve to see them.
That second page alone makes this worth a purchase. We sometimes forget that the non-powered (well, you know what I mean – the squishy ones) characters are still superheroes, capable of miracles and actions that flip off physics or defy logic or anything normal people think they can do, but real-life superheroes just tend to feed the homeless instead of fighting evil robots or toppling international crime rings. So Daredevil's about to do something impossible, but he can. Because he's a superhero. And you're not.
There you go. Now you can go and be the most obnoxious person in your lunch group.
Daredevil looks EXACTLY like "the black ninja" which was a really bad movie about a stupid lawyer who dressed up and fought crime.
I just checked and there is barely anything out there other than Obscuras Lupa's review of it.

Legendary?
I know this has been discussed before but since the main argument for Rotom not being legendary was its stats but now that it can change forms (a trait shared with several legendary Pokémon) that all have better stats ("almost making them analogous to evolutions") should this discussion be reopened.--MisterE13 01:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

The main argument was the new stats and event status. At least I new better than to edit the article outright. If nothing else, it is the first non-legendary to have had new forms unlocked through events.--MisterE13 02:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, technically, the official DP Pokédex released by Nintendo/Gamefreak/TVTokyo stated that Rotom was a Legendary Pokémon, but yeah, it's doubtful that it is one. Weedle Mchairybug 02:59, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Then so is arcanine. Get working on that childrenDCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
Actually, I was referring to this (It still labels it as the Plasma pokémon, BTW.)
Weedle Mchairybug03:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I realized a while ago that here we didn't refer to it as legendary and respected that, I was just wondering if it was just because of its awful stats as well as the new EVENT status.--MisterE13 03:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
its legendary. duh. sure the booked said delibird was a legendary but in the lineup it wasent there and rotom was there. ArceusEX 20:49, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Oh no, don't start that again...--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 20:52, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
well i brung it up hah ArceusEX 21:11, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I know this sort of thing brings out the worst in certain bulbapedians (^). But really, what are the remaining arguments? It's stats aren't awful anymore so it can't be that. Also, if this discussion still ends with it not being legendary, could an Admin please add that Rotom is the first non-legendary Pokémon to have an alternate form that requires activation from an event.--MisterE13 21:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, if you look in the deletion log for one of the most useless pages in history, apparently Pokemon.com said it wasn't legendary. And EX, did the book have the official Nintendo Seal on it? Didn't think so. Now, better handbooks, which actually have the seal on them, say that 'Tom is not a legendary.--The Kkllnnator サンタクロース 21:28, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
Well, I don't know about you, but I think the official copyright that he mentioned is good enough for me. I mean, what's the point in even making a copyright if the person/company in question didn't ACTUALLY create it? Besides, the official Seal of Nintendo isn't going to apply anyways, as Nintendo didn't actually create Pokémon (it was gamefreak). All they did was allow it on their systems. Weedle Mchairybug 21:38, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
In that case, could someone please add the trivia.--MisterE13 23:15, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
I already did a long time ago. Weedle Mchairybug 23:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
We already decided this, Didnt we? Its not a legendary, unless Arcanine is one (similar species nameDCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
It is not legendary, end of story. MaverickNate 00:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
No, I mean say Rotom is the only non-legendary to be considered "event only".--MisterE13 00:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
LIES! Rotom can be captured, only his other formes, not officially in the Dex, therefore not new pokemon, cant be capturedDCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
To quote the page:"As of the official Japanese tournament held in 2008, all Rotom forms have been banned from official tournaments. This is due to the special status of the alternate forms as event-exclusive Pokémon." I understand what you mean DCM, but I'm just using what we already have.--MisterE13 01:03, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
But it doesnt have its own distinctive entry in the pokedex. Therefore, not a pokemon, just a variant of one.DCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
(Gettin' cramped) the--vik0z0z 20:58, 8 February 2009 (UTC)n put first/only Pokémon with alternate forms only available through an event. I was just using the wording we already had in the article.--MisterE13 01:13, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
Double check that.DCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
is there any way we can truly find out if it is a legendary or not? vik0z0z 23:26, 3 February 2009 (UTC) and i consider it semi-legendary like unown or lucario.
also the way you obtain Rotom is like most legendaries, because you have to go up to a T.V. and then a battle starts, do you get what i'm saying? and an Bold textOFFICIAL nintendo handbook says Rotom is legendary and Rotom has legendary battle music!!!! vik0z0z 23:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
*refrains from using caps* no, it isn't. The music means nothing. Goodbye.--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 23:37, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
so, there is no way we can truly find out if it is a legendary? vik0z0z 23:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC) vik0z0z 23:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC) vik0z0z 23:59, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Even without the Legendary music, there's still the fact that it was mentioned to be a Legendary in an official handbook that was made not only by nintendo, but TVTokyo and even Gamefreak, the ones who actually created Pokémon in the first place. Weedle Mchairybug 00:50, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
what i'm saying is that you have to activate rotom (in a way) and then battle him. how many non-legendary pokemon do that!?--vik0z0z 20:58, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
Snorlax, Sudowoodo. As much as I'd like to think Rotom's legendary, that argument doesn't cut it around here.--MisterE13 21:13, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
why would nintendo make such a big deal out of rotom in platinum if he wasnt legendary. - unsigned comment from Vik0z0z (talk • contribs)
To make little fanboys and fangirls argue about it on Bulbapedia talkpages. Look guys, there is no official confirmation otherwise, so we have to take it as unlegendary, as that is what most of the information leads to. Yes, there are points on both sides, but with no official confirmation, we can't do anything. The discussion here is becoming best suited to the forums and further comments will be deleted. Thanks. — THE TROM — 06:53, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Doesn't that Guidebook count as official information? I mean, from the Copyright notice that someone posted in the archives that TV Tokyo, Nintendo, and even Gamefreak had a hand at making the book. Weedle Mchairybug 10:03, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Trivia worthy?
On Pokemon Ranger (The first one), In Fall City, there is a young guy in a house in the south of Fall City. He has a picture on his wall which looks like either Freeze Rotom or Heat Rotom. Can someone else take a look at this for me?--Pokelova 05:12, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Thats not really trivia worthyDCM((曲奇饼妖怪Spy on My Edits))
Okay--Pokelova 23:02, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
Cut and Spin Form U.S. names
Serebii.net today got information that two of Rotom's Form names have been changed in the U.S. translation as follows:
Cut Rotom is now known as Mow Rotom and Spin Rotom is now known as Fan Rotom
I just wanted to let you guys you know --Dialgafan1 22:27, 17 March 2009 (UTC)Dialgafan1
Heat Forme
On the official site for Platinum, it says the oven is a microwave oven. I changed it on the Rotom and Form differences pages. YinYang 21:59, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Excellent, well done. *two thumbs up and a big wide grin* — THE TROM — 22:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Umm...Thank you? YinYang 00:10, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
I always thought it was a toaster oven. A microwave doesn't make sense, because it doesn't use fire to heat food. Aura-Knight 00:53, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Neither does Ash carrying a Larvitar. But it's from the site so there's nothing you can do about it. — THE TROM — 00:54, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
On its defense, it's Heat Forme, not Fire Forme, so the microwave does make sense. Toaster ovens don't use fire either, anyway (at least not when functioning correctly).--Kaoz 15:54, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
Charon's journal and notes on Rotom
Should I add them on Rotom's or Charon's page, or should I just not add them at all. --AOS 03:32, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
I say Charon's page. ►Ҝəυzø8 03:33, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

Purge the server, click on the time at the top right of the page--freezingCOLD (page, talk) 20:45, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Why wash Rotom
The regular Rotom illustrates the Rotom concept better than its other forms. Do you see the sky forme Shaymin as the main picture on Shaymin's page? No? Then put the regular Rotom as the main images on this page! --HideInTheDark 18:26, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
First of, calmness is key. Second, the images are on a timer, and change every day for this article, I believe. The pictures on Shaymin, as well as numerous other pages, also change at set times. --Theryguy512 18:37, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Oopsy, sorry, I didn't notice. A million sorry. --HideInTheDark 18:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
Why wash Rotom? Maybe its dirty! (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) Zurqoxn 16:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
We really should just wait for Nintendo to say something. I mean, just because someone says it isn't legendary or it is, doesn't mean that what they say is true or official, because nobody knows for sure, and because Nintendo never said anything about Rotom. (And I don't mean Pokemon.com) vik0z0z 19:48, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
Still, multiple times it has been referred to as NON-legendary. You may be right, but I'm pretty sure its non-legendary. Nintendo mentioned it once if I'm correct, and the only possible proof that its legendary is that its banned from tournaments. ((User:Megamew/Megamew)) 02:08:13, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Actually, there is one other proof that it's legendary. The official handbook for DP had actually stated that Rotom is legendary. Weedle Mchairybug 10:55, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Those handbooks are incalcuably full of errors, though. --DarkfireTaimatsu 11:32, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I think that the handbooks are a bit... unreliable. they have made (many) mistakes before and should not be trusted for important matters such as legendary Pokémon. ((User:Megamew/megamew)) 21:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Trading to Diamond and Pearl
If Rotom is in its Wash form (for example) and it was traded to Diamond or Pearl, it would be reverted back to its Normal Form. However, if it were to be traded back to a copy of Platinum (after being reverted to Normal Form by Diamond or Pearl), would it go back to its Wash Form, or would it stay as Normal Form? Ggled 13:53, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
It would most likely stay as it's normal form. I can't find anything on Youtube, so I can't confirm it for you. R.A. Hunter Blade 21:02, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
"Auto-relearning" ThunderShock (in Platinum)
In the trivia section, there is the later part of one that says "If the only move that Rotom knows right before reverting to its original form is exclusive to its alternate form, then that move will be replaced with ThunderShock." I only own Platinum, and recently captured Rotom. Found the secret room, and transformed it, letting it learn that form's attack (replacing ThunderShock). Changed it to another appliance, then back to default, but found that ThunderShock had been deleted instead. Luckily, had saved just beforehand, so just did a power reset.
I then tested with just one appliance then back to default, and ThunderShock was again deleted instead of coming back and replacing the appliance's attack. So perhaps the replacing only happens in D/P? If someone could confirm and correct it, that'd be cool.
Also found that not allowing Rotom to learn the appliance's attack will also not allow Rotom to take it over. Again, no clue if this is different in D/P (if it is, obviously should be noted by someone that can confirm it).
Until confirmed, I'm removing the part I quoted for now, and someone can just retrive it later or rewrite it as neccessary.--Mondoblasto 08:48, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Ah, but that says the only move. I.e., delete all of Rotom's moves but the special move, then change it back. I'm fairly certain that's what it means (not that I have Platinum to confirm). It refers only to Platinum, as the alternate forms are only in Pt, btw. — THE TROM — 09:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Oh ya, secret key->secret room->alternate forms only in Platinum.... after going to Canada's first Pokemon event, you'd think I'd remember that >_<; Since I DO have Platinum (long time fan of the anime, but first game), I guess I can go ahead and test it; as mentioned, my Rotom still fresh and default. I don't know of a way to remove moves, but I'm thinking I'll try using the appliance moves to delete them one after the other, through chain changing, and maybe also by default->alternate1->default->alternate2... ect--Mondoblasto 06:12, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
There's a move deleter in Canalave City. That should help. — THE TROM — 06:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
I tested it with a Heat Rotom knowing only Overheat, and it's only move is now ThunderShock. It didn't even know ThunderShock before I deleted the other moves (not that that would make a difference), so it must have learnt it when changing formes. Werdnae 06:42, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Excellent, we've proved the article correct. I do enjoy doing that. :D Great effort. — THE TROM — 06:54, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
Wait, according to the anime, rotom can move even when it's not in it's battle mode. Wait, what? Okay, now I'm confused. Can someone help me with this? --16ipodfanatic 03:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)16ipodfanatic

Happy New Year and Happy Burns Day - celebrate by wearing a wax seal necklace with the words AULD LANG SYNE surrounding an arm raising a tankard - cheers!
An arm raising a tankard, in celebration, surrounded by the words FOR AULD LANG SYNE - the phrase FOR AULD LANG SYNE roughly translates FOR OLD TIMES' SAKE or OLD LONG AGO, and is a song about preserving old friendships and looking back over the events of the year.
The now nostalgic song was credited to Robert Burns in 1788 and it became a Scottish tradition to stand in a circle and sing it just before midnight on New Years Eve.
It's also sung on Burns night in Scotland, January 25th, to celebrate the life of author poet Robert Burns.
This wax seal imagery depicts the lyrics in the song WE'LL TAKE A CUP OF KINDNESS YET which refers to the drink shared by men and women to symbolize friendship.

How to Practice Corporate Social Responsibility and Virtual Volunteering During COVID
By The Vendry | September 17, 2020
How ToTrends
Because of the gathering restrictions put in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic, right now, in-person, hands-on volunteering opportunities are limited—and at a time when extra help is needed most. Many employees, perhaps looking to make a positive impact, are seeking out ways to volunteer and lend a hand. So it's imperative to rejigger existing programs and pivot to digital in order to meet this demand.
Although some folks feared that investment in corporate social responsibility (CSR) would be cut because of the financial impact of the pandemic on companies, Susan McPherson, founder and C.E.O. of McPherson Strategies, a communications consultancy that develops social responsibility and philanthropic initiatives, says that the opposite has actually happened.
"We've seen massive investments in local communities, including funding to support local businesses, improvised programs to encourage racial equity, increased diversity in C-suites and boards, continued emphasis on more sustainable supply chain operations, and most certainly louder rallying cries for reduced corporate carbon emissions," she says. "There is a deep-seated understanding now that we are all connected, no matter where our company operates across the world. There is no way that this understanding will simply disappear overnight. COVID has taught us that we are inextricably tied to the environment and each other."
In fact, according to a recent report by corporate purpose software company Benevity, there's been an increased uptake in virtual volunteering over in-person activities, resulting in 786,000 volunteer hours between March 1 (just before the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic) and April 30.
By employing virtual volunteering options, you can adapt your CSR programs and continue to activate your employees safely. Read on for guidance on shifting your offerings and encouraging your employees to volunteer during this trying time.
What is virtual volunteering?
As we mentioned, because of COVID-19-related restrictions and physical distancing measures, large team building events and days of service that were the cornerstones of volunteering programs are now nearly impossible. But, just as we've pivoted in-person events to virtual, so too goes volunteering.
"Even though we are severely limited to what we can do in-person in terms of volunteering, we know that online platforms allow each of us to fundraise for causes, share important information with our social networks, and transfer our various skills to others—whether through teaching coding, financial literacy, or even reading aloud to young children or the elderly," McPherson explains.
How companies have volunteered virtually
When it comes to volunteering in general, companies typically leverage their strengths toward a greater purpose or cause (known as skills-based volunteering), supporting organizations that fit with their overall mission and brand reputation. The same strategy can be applied to virtual volunteering opportunities.
For example, from April 2-5, more than 700 folks from eight organizations in Canada—Accenture, Capgemini, Deloitte, EY Canada, IBM, Microsoft, PwC Canada, and SAP—came together virtually for the We vs. Virus hackathon. The teams devoted thousands of hours over four days towards developing solutions for challenges associated with COVID-19, including: how to manage the physical and emotional effects of isolation; how to encourage citizens to follow pandemic safety measures; how to find or create temporary sources of work and income for affected Canadians; and more.
Adobe set up a virtual team building event using one of its own products, Adobe Spark, to create get-well cards for people who were suffering from COVID-19. The cards were sent virtually or, in some cases, printed and mailed to causes to distribute to patients.
Toward the start of the lockdowns in Europe, popular British tea brand PG Tips funded the training of 2,000 volunteers via the Re-engage program, which created a telephone befriending service for older people called Call Companions, in an effort to fight loneliness. According to the charity, there are more than 2.2 million people over the age of 75 who live alone in the U.K.
Even Matthew McConaughey hosted a few rounds of virtual bingo for The Enclave at Round Rock Senior Living in Texas back in April.
Where to find virtual volunteer opportunities
First, keep in mind that nonprofit groups and partner organizations that your company worked with in the past might not have virtual volunteering programs in place or may need help in other ways. Instead of actual volunteers, they could be looking for assistance with technology or infrastructure. So consult with the programs and ask what their current needs are and then try to design virtual volunteer opportunities around that if possible. For example, Microsoft gave away free licenses to its Teams software to organizations that had transitioned to remote work.
Here are some virtual volunteering opportunities and resources to get you started:
Sky's the Limit: A mentoring program focused on helping underrepresented young entrepreneurs.
Missing Maps: An open, collaborative project where volunteers add vulnerable places that are "missing" from maps in order for organizations to better respond to crises affecting the areas.
Globe Observer: Citizen scientists, students, and teachers contribute to Earth system science research.
Zooniverse: A database of online citizen science and humanities projects.
All for Good: Points of Light's database of volunteer opportunities.
VolunteerMatch: A portal to search for COVID-19-related virtual volunteer opportunities, searchable by geographical location.
Catchafire: Connects professionals with social enterprises, with a list of projects that you can complete virtually.
Crisis Text Line: A crisis counseling service operating through SMS message.
Also, be mindful of your employees' current situations. Do they have the mental bandwidth to volunteer? Think about establishing an internal colleague-to-colleague support program. For example, SAP recently launched a series called #sapkids, where employees can support their colleagues who have kids by offering up 30 minutes to host a virtual music class, exercise session, or storytime.
Even though most of us are working apart right now, there are still ways to bring teams and employees together to help create a positive impact thanks to virtual volunteering opportunities.

Can't Touch This: Get Inspired by These Creative Contactless Activations
By Michele Laufik | November 3, 2020


CDAC Partner Jung-Fu Lin and colleagues from The University of Texas at Austin and Amherst College have described a new technique that might one day reveal the composition and characteristics of the deep Earth in higher detail than ever before. However, the technique relies on the long-range electron spin-spin interaction, a fifth force of nature (in addition to gravity and the weak, strong and electromagnetic forces) that has not yet been detected, but which some particle physicists think might exist. If it does exist, this exotic new force would connect matter at Earth's surface with matter hundreds or even thousands of kilometers below, deep in Earth's mantle. The way these particles interact could provide new information about the composition and characteristics of the mantle, which is poorly understood due to its inaccessibility.
Lin and his group have been researching the electronic spin transitions of iron in lower-mantle minerals as well as the potential implications of the effects of the transitions in deep-Earth geoscience. They believe that this new geoelectron model opens a new window for future understanding of the consequences of the spin transitions that remain debated in deep-Earth research.
When earth scientists have tried to model how factors such as iron concentration and physical and chemical properties of matter vary with depth, they get different answers. The fifth force, assuming it exists, might help reconcile these conflicting lines of evidence.
The group's research is published in Science [L. Hunter et al., Science 339, 928 (2013)].
