It's Time You Visited Finger Lakes

Attention, foliage enthusiast: peak season for yellows and reds is approaching. Have your best sweater and prepare for a weekend of extreme coziness and pleasure.
Among leaf scenes, New York's is maybe the best one. Governor Andrew Cuomo recently said that the Empire State has "one of the most vivid autumns anywhere in the world." Best spotters from 'I Love New York' look for changes, issuing a weekly report in which pigment progress is described in terms of percentages and words like salmon are used to distinguish between hues. And it is very precise.
Politics aside, New York does have an impressive fall array, especially upstate in the glacier-carved region known as the Finger Lakes. This is an excerpt of their report, explaining in detail what you should see.
"While less intrepid leaf-peepers might be content to sit back with a glass of locally produced Riesling (see the "Drink" section below), adventurous gawkers should visit Watkins Glen State Park. There, you can climb some 800 stone steps, meander through tunnels, and explore more than a dozen waterfalls. Follow the gorge trail and you'll come to Rainbow Falls, which takes on a kaleidoscopic effect come autumn."
You'll also get an eyeful along Route 20, which, along with Route 5, has been deemed an "Authentic American Road." Stop in the small town of Auburn to stretch your legs and check out a few historical hot spots. The Harriet Tubman Home and the Seward House (as in William Seward, President Lincoln's secretary of state and right-hand man) are both nearby. And since you're a sucker for colorful spectacles, check out the Willard Memorial Chapel, whose Tiffany-designed interior is sure to stun."
If you're itching to get back to the trees, why not head to an orchard? Do some picking, listen to live music, and grab a glass of cider (alcoholic or virgin) at Beak & Skiff Apple Orchards inLaFayette. Depending on your day (Rain?! During prime peeping?!), you may want to sample the hard stuff. No slouches with an apple, Beak and Skiff now distills vodka and gin from the fruit. Try some in their new 1911 Cafe and Tasting Room."
And here's one of the scenic tour examples.

IRS Outlines ID Theft, Fraud Safeguards
Privacy Experts Question Effectiveness of New Measures Eric Chabrow (GovInfoSecurity) • June 12, 2015
The Internal Revenue Service headquarters in Washington.
Some privacy experts say a new Internal Revenue Service collaborative initiative aimed at reducing identity theft and fraud affecting taxpayers comes up short.
"If what has been published is all that is planned, while it is a start, it is far from enough," says privacy and security consultant Rebecca Herold, CEO of The Privacy Professor.
The IRS on June 11 announced the collaborative initiative with tax preparation and software firms, payroll and tax financial product processors and state tax administrators.
The effort is an outgrowth of a March 19 security summit the IRS held with stakeholders that focused on developing ways to validate the authenticity of taxpayers and information included on tax return submissions, share information to improve detection and expand prevention of refund fraud and threat assessment and strategy development to prevent risks and threats.
"We share a common enemy in those stealing personal information and perpetrating refund fraud, and we share a common goal of protecting taxpayers," IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said in announcing the program. "We want to build these changes into the DNA of the entire tax system to make it safer."
Koskinen's announcement comes three weeks after he revealed that hackers circumvented authentication protections to breach more than 100,000 accounts of taxpayers who had used the IRS's Get Transcript application (see Controls Might Have Averted IRS Breach). The IRS says it's working toward enhancing authentication of users of that application.
Identifying Taxpayers, Detecting Fraud
The exact processes and technologies that the new effort will use to detect identity theft and fraud have yet to be determined. However, the IRS says initiative participants have identified issues to address to help define those processes and technologies, including reviewing:
The transmission of the tax returns, including the improper and/or repetitive use of Internet addresses from which returns originate;
Computer device identification data tied to returns' origin;
The time it takes to complete a tax return, so computer mechanized fraud can be detected.
The IRS says the collaborators also will consider capturing metadata from computer transactions that might detect identity theft-related fraud.
2016 Deadline
Voluntary participants in the collaborative effort will make many major system and process changes this summer and fall to be ready for the 2016 filing season, according to the IRS. The public-private partnership also will continue this collaborative approach to address longer-term issues facing the tax community and taxpayers.
Indiana Tax Commissioner Mike Alley said in testimony before Congress earlier this year that strengthening the collaboration among the IRS, state tax administrators and tax preparation services and software makers will help combat identity theft and refund fraud through enhanced analytics, sharing of information and implementation of best practices. "This sharing and collaboration must be in real time, not days or weeks down the road," Alley said. "Delays in digesting new information or implementing good ideas leaves the window of vulnerability open longer for fraudsters to enter."
Under terms of the initiative, when filing tax returns online to the IRS and state agencies, tax preparers who voluntarily participate in the program would transmit additional information, such as Internet addresses and computer device identification, the IRS says.
Seeking 'Bad Apples'
Privacy lawyer Francoise Gilbert says the IRS seems to be putting the fraud-detection burden on private tax preparers. "The IRS is completely missing the boat, and is putting a smoke screen over a project with a totally different goal - which they are not identifying - such as attacking the tax preparation industry, trying to find the bad apples in the tax prep industry," says Gilbert, founding partner of the IT Law Group. "I wonder whether there has been an assessment of the actual needs, an evaluation of the actual issues, an identification of the primary causes of identity theft."
Herold, the consultant, questions whether the IRS has gone far enough to truly safeguard taxpayers' identity as well as to protect them from fraud. "Nothing I could find in the published reports mentions increased use of encryption," she says. "The recent [Office of Personnel Management] breach should provide a clear lesson that personal information needs to be encrypted in storage, wherever that storage is located, in addition to in transit and while being collected digitally."
Gilbert says the IRS outline of the initiative fails to address a major component of fraud: the theft of tax refund checks. "We have seen recently a significant increase in fraud where a criminal misappropriated an individual's tax identification number or Social Security number and intercepted tax refund checks," she says. "It would have been good to see that IRS exercise efforts in preventing this type of fraud by implementing appropriate measures to ensure that the recipient of the tax refund check is the actual individual to whom the check is issued. For example, the IRS could increase its own control at the time of the receipt of change of address."
Mulling a New ISAC for Refund Fraud
Much of what the new collaborative initiative will encompass is still being developed. To facilitate information sharing on fraud, stakeholders are considering creating the Refund Fraud Information Sharing and Assessment Center. Plus, tax industry partners have agreed to work with the IRS and state tax agencies in adopting the cybersecurity framework issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
A memorandum of understanding signed by industry stakeholders to collaborate on the IRS initiative "is a good first step, but it is just a small first step," says Bill Cobb, CEO of the tax preparation service H&R Block, noting that developing authentication standards is key to stopping fraud.

Movies That Ruined My Childhood
Our Favorites: Movie Sword Fights!
December 23, 2017 Neil Worcester Our Ten's List, Posts 2
The Last Jedi prompts us to explore all of the best sword fights in cinematic history.
A conflict as old as iron and celluloid.
Whatever your feelings about Star Wars, at least we can all come together about one thing: laser sword fights are bad-ass. The duel is one of the oldest dramatic moments in cinematic history, with The Viking in 1928 becoming the first movie to feature both sound and color. Whole genres sprouted up just to deliver amazing blade work. We break down the best action across many different styles, from traditional western swashbuckling to fantasy lightsaber duels, and give you our picks for the most exciting sword fights in movie history.
Best Sword Fight: European Style.
The Contenders: Errol Flynn Vs. Basil Rathbone – The Adventures of Robin Hood, Ingigo Montoya Vs. The Man in Black – The Princess Bride, Edmund Dante Vs. Mondego – The Count of Monte Cristo, Saber Duel – The Deluge, Achilles Manslaughters Hector – Troy.
This category covers so many distinct styles and time periods that it is hard to pick a favorite. The fencing sword duel dominated Hollywood for decades, producing Errol Flynn as its most famous protagonist. Stylish and dignified, it still provides thrills through quick footwork and intricate flourishes. Against this you have the modern movie sword fight with its full body physicality and ferocious styling. Any of the above fights more than delivers the goods when it comes to excitement…but my favorite is the obscure polish historical drama, The Deluge.
A historical epic that clocks in at a staggering 315 minutes, this sweeping drama chronicles the Swedish invasion of the Polish/Lithuanian commonwealth and was nominated for a best foreign film Oscar. At the heart of this drama is a bitter-sweet celebration of martial prowess, best exemplified by an iconic duel between a dignified colonel and a cocky nobleman. Blending traditional sabre fencing with a free-wheeling brawling style, The Deluge delivers a raw but beautiful fight that is as deadly as it is thrilling.
Best Sword Fight: Asian Style.
The Contenders: Sanjuro Vs. Hanbei – Sanjuro, Kenshin Vs. Sojiro – Rorouni Kenshin, Jet-Li Vs. Donny Yen – Hero, Zatoichi Vs. Samurai – Zatoichi Challenged, Jackie Chan Vs. Indian Swordsman – The Myth.
While this genre has been dominated by Japanese kendo for decades, a boom in Chinese epics has introduced other traditional styles to western audiences. Films such as Crouching Tiger and Hero present gloriously choreographed duels. Traditional styles from India, Thailand and the Philippines have also made spectacular appearances in modern cinema. While I salute them all, I have to give the nod to the legendary blind Japanese swordsman, Zatoichi.
The fictional sword master was featured in dozens of films and was played by several actors over decades of Japanese cinema, almost analogous to the silver age serials of Zorro in the west. Shintaro Katsu played the unlikely hero in his most famous iterations over the period of nearly 30 years, and Zatoichi Challenged was one of the best entries in the series, capped off by a sprawling duel between the blind swordsman and a duty-bound samurai.
Best Sword Fight: Lightsabers!
The Contenders: Darth Maul Vs. Obi-Wan and Qui Gon – The Phantom Menace, Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan – Revenge of the Sith, Luke Vs. Vader 1 – The Empire Strikes Back, Luke Vs. Vader 2 – Return of the Jedi, Kylo and Rey Vs. The Praetorian Guard – The Last Jedi.
The lightsaber duel has grown and changed over the course of 50 years and 9 movies. In the first film, A New Hope, it resembled the stately fencing duel of early cinema. As it progressed in the first trilogy, it became a more emotionally charged brawling style. 30 years later, the prequels showed a flashier and heavily stylized form of duel that resembled the highly choreographed moves of Chinese martial arts films. Now that a new generation has taken up the lightsaber, we have a modified blend of the two styles that is raw and desperate, resembling more closely 1980's Japanese cinematic sword fighting.
As Nate said in his review of The Last Jedi, each style has its appeal. For my money, my favorite is the final fight from The Phantom Menace (and indeed, is one of the only elements of that film that has remained vibrant and memorable.) While it is highly choreographed it also has the emotional impact of the original films and the electric physicality of the new fights. I leapt out of my seat on my first viewing, and that feeling of exhilaration has not waned to this day.
Best Sword Fight: Vicious, One-Sided Drubbings.
The Contenders: Maximus Vs. Commodus – Gladiator, Li Mu Bai Doesn't Care about Your Revenge – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Paris is a Lover, Not a Fighter – Troy, Over in A Snap – The Court Jester.
Some times the skill gap in a fight is apparent. This category celebrates such one-sided fights! Despite having many excellent fights, many of which very nearly made the list for best fights in other categories, my favorite is the comedic duel between Danny Kaye's bumbling jester versus a villainous nobleman played by famed movie swordsman Basil Rathbone. The foolish jester is losing badly until he is enchanted with a spell that makes him a master swordsman whenever he hears a finger snap. He turns the tables and delivers a clinic on the villain until he foolishly snaps his own fingers. The fight then seesaws back and forth with each side schooling the other until another snap is heard. It's a classic movie fight and a fantastic comedic sequence.
Best Sword Fight: Surprise Comeback.
The Contenders: Christopher Lambert is a One Trick Pony – The Hunted, Arthur Cheap-shots Lancelot – Excalibur, Mine's Bigger – Rob Roy, "Hello, My Name is Inigo Montoya…" – The Princess Bride.
No matter how skilled a fighter is, every sword fight is a gamble where losing is fatal. These fights celebrate the moment when the underdog bucks the odds and pulls off an upset. In some cases, the winner has a hand. In some, the hero has to overcome dirty tricks from a cowardly villain. In other, the hero pulls out some shady maneuvers of his own. In my favorite, the gallant Rob Roy has to sacrifice his body in order to win.
Rob Roy is a man on a mission of vengeance and justice. Liam Neeson plays a man whose wife is violated by an English lord who happens to be a master duelist. Despite being a fierce warrior, Roy is no match for the highly skilled opponent. As he suffers wound after wound, it looks like he will lose and fail in his quest…until he decides to level the playing field by capturing his opponents blade with his own body.
Best Sword Fight: Everything But the Kitchen Sink.
Contenders: Alleyway Fight –The Final Master, Michelle Yeoh Vs. Zang Ziyi – Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Manji's Bag of Tricks – Blade of the Immortal, The Chateau Fight – The Matrix Reloaded.
Sometimes just one sword won't do. Sometimes you need to use every sharp object in the room to get the job done. In these fights, we look at sword fights that throw everything not nailed down at the combatants. In our winner, Michelle Yeoh literally empties a whole armory in order to teach her young opponent that its not the blade that makes the warrior, but the fighting spirit that will stop at nothing to win.
Best Sword Fight: Melee!
The Contenders: White Heaven in Hell Snow Fight – Lone Wolf and Cub, The Bride Vs. The Crazy 88 – Kill Bill Vol. 1, Just Another Day at the Office for Spartans – 300, Donnie Yen Vs. Everyone – An Empress and The Warriors.
Not all duels are one-on-one. In these classic sword fights, our protagonist must stand against impossible numbers of opponents. No fight exemplifies this work ethic better than Quentin Tarantino's love letter to the pulp Samurai films of the 60's and 70's. Uma Thurman is looking for revenge against the assassin who betrayed her…but first she's going to have to wade through every lunatic with a sword that her quarry can throw at her.

Euro Crisis: How to Stop the Contagion
September 26, 2011 · by Patrick Smith · in Articles, The Fiscal Times
Even a couple of months ago, the idea that Greece would be forced to default on its debt and exit the eurozone seemed some kind of distant horror. Now both seem all too near as possibilities. What was a short while ago considered a crisis among the profligate Mediterranean members of the European Union is now a European crisis, reaching to the stronger core by way of the institutions that hold Greek debt. And as the U.S. has started to make clear, Europe's crisis threatens to become the planet's.
It is the opposite of the 2008 crisis, when the U.S. was the source of contagion. Much of the talk in recent days has been dire, just as it was three years ago in the U.S. There are a hundred knowledgeable voices with as many thoughts as to what the Europeans should do.
Greece's best option, some say, is an orderly default. That would at least focus minds, among other things. It should at that point exit the euro and return to the drachma as a national currency, others add. "Europe" as a concept is over, still other commentators throw in as a corollary. It is time to think of what comes after Europe – or the 60-year-old vision of a united Europe — finally dims for the last time and cannot flicker back to life.
There is no question that Europe as a whole is now in a crisis that no one imagined would reach these proportions even last summer. But it is too easy to be overly alarmist. Yes, there are worst-case outcomes out there in the near distance. But there are solutions that bring us quite quickly to a better place. A Greek exit from the euro and the gradual dissolution of the currency as others — Portugal, for instance — are forced at some point to follow suit is not an inevitability.
Still, tough decisions must be made, and made quickly, and some involve extreme measures. Here are a few of them:
A Greek default on its debt, which is rapidly approaching 200 percent of gross domestic product, is probably avoidable—for the moment, anyway. But it is both likely and desirable—not tomorrow, but in the near future. It would instantly force a drastic devaluation of Greece's public debt, a point Germany and the rest of Europe have been dithering over for far too long. The European Central Bank could then recapitalize Greek banks, alleviating the need for unmanageably severe austerity measures and making it more realistic for Greece to pay its debts according to an adjusted schedule.
It is time for the rest of Europe to accept the size and severity of the crisis beyond the basket cases on its southern flank. This means that national political constituencies resistant to pan–European thinking have to be overcome, notably in Germany, where there has been mounting opposition from conservative voters and politicians to a larger role for the ECB in bailing out Greece (and possibly others). Chancellor Angela Merkel has been fence-sitting on this point; she cannot any longer. It has already cost her Christian Democratic Union state elections in CDU strongholds, where they recently lost to more European-minded Social Democrats.
The ECB has to face its position as the only supranational financial entity available in Europe and begin to transform the eurozone into a fiscal union as well as a currency union. This will involve, among much else, a change in the European constitution, and that will require time—which is the commodity Europe has in the least supply just now. So interim measures must be devised: The two most often mentioned at the moment are Eurobond issues by the ECB or a revenue-sharing plan similar to those used previously in the U.S. to bail out cash-short state governments.
Note what is absent from this list: a Greek exit from the euro. While some commentators assert that this is a natural follow-on after a default, that would be so only if the ECB declined to recapitalize Greek banks. There is otherwise no need for Greece to drop out of the eurozone and plenty of reasons for it to remain within it. Returning to the drachma would re-introduce the very currency risk the euro was intended to eliminate; legally, it would oblige Greece to quit the EU itself, and it would risk horrific overnight bank runs. Finally, it would be unnecessarily painful for the financial institutions holding Greek debt (not that one's heart bleeds first for them).
The latest phase in the Greek crisis brings the truly significant point of a new strategy straight to the center of the table. It is the salvation of the EU itself that is now at stake. Were Greece to drop the euro and leave the EU as a consequence, it could well prove the beginning of the end of the Continent's common currency. That would be a tragedy. The euro is not the end of the European story. But it is the capstone of decades of visionary work in drawing Europe closer together than it has ever before been in history. Now is not the time to blink, dither, or turn back.

Georgetown Village: County to send letter to Fairfield urging city to protect Travis
Fairfield Daily RepublicBy Daily Republic Staff March 10, 2021
FAIRFIELD — Solano County supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to send a letter to Fairfield indicating they believe the proposed 288-unit Georgetown Village affordable housing project is not in the best interest of Travis Air Force Base – and therefore not in the best interest of the county or the city.
The vote came after the board heard more than a dozen speakers urging the county to take steps to work with Fairfield and property owner Hunt Communities to make the project viable.
Those speakers described the project as a "no-brainer," a redevelopment of existing housing that would provide two-, three- and four-bedroom affordable homes to veterans and residents in great need.
Some of those speakers were veterans who told their stories of being on the streets or in subpar housing.
Others talked about how housing is the first step in getting many of these residents back on their feet and making them contributing members of their community.
They argued that instead of just opposing the concept from the start, that the county and city look for solutions to overcome whatever problems there are with the project.
But the arguments did not sway the board.
Taking the lead from Supervisor Jim Spering, all five supervisors agreed that Georgetown was originally designed as military housing, which fit the location but cannot be repurposed into affordable housing because it is remote and isolated from basic needs.
The supervisors also noted there is only a single road in and out of the area, and that crosses a railroad track. They said that could slow emergency response to the area.
Moreover, Travis Air Force Base had to evacuate during the LNU Lightning Complex Fire, and a single road out would make evacuating the families in the development difficult as well.
But the driving force of the opposition is that the project would not fit well with the mission of the base, and given the importance of Travis to the county, it was not the kind of project the county could support.
Hunt Development Group built the project for the Air Force, which used it to house base personnel under a 20-year lease that expired 10 years ago. The Air Force did not renew the lease but instead had more modern housing built for airmen stationed at Travis. The base perimeter fence was moved shortly thereafter and the Hunt housing site was annexed into the city.
The site currently has no water or sewer service.
Yes, I/we support the affordable Georgetown project, and the effort to bring nearly 300 affordable housing units to Solano County. A temporary agreement with Travis AFB to reconnect water and sewer lines will remove the only impediment to hundreds of new, affordable homes for Fairfield families. You may list me/my organization as a member of the Affordable Housing for Hundreds coalition.

Q: Local angular library in an NPM workspaces project I have a local angular library created using ng generate library utils.
I then add its dependency to my angular project package.json, making sure to link to the inner lib folder under utils/dist/utils, and everything is working as expected:
"utils": "file:../utils/dist/utils"

When I look at the content of node_modules/utils in my angular module I see the content of utils/dist/utils.
I'm now refactoring the project to use NPM Workspaces so I can remove the dependency and NPM will install it automatically since it is a workspace.
The issue is that NPM is taking the entire root folder of the library and not the inner dist/utils folder and everything breaks.
When I look at the content of node_modules/utils in the root folder I now see the content of utils.
I get an error in all my imports stating:
TS2307: Cannot find module 'utils' or its corresponding type declarations.

Is there a proper solution to this issue?

Debrief // Gregory Alan Isakov at Johnny D's // Feb. 17, 2011
At most concerts, the encore is a scripted part of the show, taken for granted by both performer and audience. At Johnny D's last night, Gregory Alan Isakov and his band earned every minute of theirs, and an appreciative crowd made sure they knew it with rousing ovations that quickly pulled the humble Colorado singer-songwriter back to center stage. Twice.
Oh, to be one of the unsuspecting people who wandered into JD's for dinner, only to be met by this powerhouse performance. Isakov and his band – a cellist, fiddler and keyboard player – were in perfect harmony throughout the 18-song, 90-minute-plus set, balancing crowd-pleasing selections from Isakov's 2009 breakthrough This Empty Northern Hemisphere and its predecessor, That Sea, The Gambler, alongside more than a half-dozen new songs earmarked for his next release. Despite the steady onslaught of unfamiliar material, the enthusiastic crowd stuck with the band, routinely greeting the quartet with applause that dwarfed the volume of the performance that preceded it.
Check out FiTi's Q&A with Gregory Alan Isakov.
The new songs ranged from twangy ("I'll Feed Your Horses") to surprisingly dark ("Liars") and saucy ("I Used to Have a Couch"). They played seamlessly against crowd favorites like "That Moon Song," "The Stable Song" and "3 a.m." Conspicuously missing from the set was the charming "If I Go, I'm Going," a Hemisphere track that was featured on a recent episode of Californiacation.
Gregory Alan Isakov's Setlist:
(New song) / Virginia May / Big Black Car / The Universe / That Moon Song / Evelyn / I'll Feed Your Horses / Second Chances / Master & a Hound / In Tall Buildings (John Hartford) / The Stable Song / Mercury / Words / (New song) / Liars // I Used to Have a Couch (solo) / 3 a.m. (solo) // Salt and the Sea

Made to sell. Made to make tons of everyday drinkers very happy with their purchase. Made to appeal to just about anyone who likes red wine to be rich soft & juicy. Arguably it's a critter wine, but its a very smart one, with standout packaging & a reasonably clever back label. Arguably its also quite 'Australian' in style and flavour, packed with juicy black & purple fruits on a squeaky clean palate that overfloweth with abundant ripe grape flavours.
But behind all this marketing driven edifice, this really isn't a bad wine. It's genuinely not to my tastes, with its pruney ripeness, obvious V-weed peachiness on the nose and warm tail, but I can't begrudge the clever winemaking, which has presented a wine with broad appeal at an entirely suitable price.
The secret, I believe, to this blends simple attractiveness, lies in the dominant 95% of the blend – Grenache & Shiraz. In this instance, the Grenache provides candied perfume and fruit, the Shiraz the structure and meaty mid palate. The Viognier then serves to top this off with an extra edge of fruit juice, that just makes the whole package prettier, softer and juicier.
Combined together by a well experienced winemaker (Ben Riggs) and deftly handled in the winery, and we have this final result: An unarguably simple, ripe and alcoholic red blend that charms by its cleverness. It's definitely not my idea of a high quality wine (as reflected in the score), but I still can appreciate how well this has been thought out, and similarly how tailored this is to both its target (not me) market and its pricepoint.
Wholly agree with your sentiment re the grenache/shiraz/viognier blends. They can be superb little BBQ wines – if not the true connoisseur's choice.
I think Geoff Merrill at Woodcroft had it completely on the money when he was selling ex-US (or maybe UK?) bottles of his 2004 McLaren Vale SGV under his Family and Friends label for $5 a bottle. A perfect quaffer indeed. Best place to buy (and taste) cleanskins in Adelaide by the way.
Please explain what "V-weed peachiness" is. Thank you.
The 'v weed peachiness' in question refers to the overt peach/apricot character that red blends containing Viognier sometimes show, combine with my own personal distain for how often this Viognier derived character is appearing in modern blends.
The 'peachiness' is largely an aroma more than anything else, but to my nose it is unwelcome and unappealing, usually indicating a wine where the Viognier is overdone/poorly integrated/too ripe/whatever.
The 'V-weed' term reflects my ongoing view that warm climate Shiraz (Barossa, Hunter, Mclaren vale etc) does not, and should never, need the sweetness, aromatic lift, palate rounding or colour brightening qualities of Viognier and that the addition of Viognier to such Shiraz based wines is a horrible, knee jerk reaction showcasing the very worst of faddish winemaking.
our Christmas BBQ to please everyone and it was a success. Had it been a more intimate dinner or venue, our choice would have been more discerning.

Currenlty the above code works but when i refresh the page it tends to get the images out of order (wrong heading with the images & also wrong images that go with that heading). It seems to be getting ahead of itself since the $.each could have over 50+ images to get per theTagName.
Sometimes its in the correct order but often times it is not.
Is it possible to pause the for (var i = 0; i < theTagNames.length; i++) { until all images in the $.each have been found and appened to the flickrImages div?

A: You should put the whole  $.getJSON(url, {}, function (data) { ... in a separate function outside the for loop and then pass in i otherwise the value of i will change as you have an async situation.
Also, you should use a different variable name for the index parameter of your $.each function.
So your code would look something like this:
for (var i = 0; i < theTagNames.length; i++) {
    // stuff
    getFlkrJSON(data, i);
}

function getFlkrJSON(data, i){
    $.getJSON(url, {}, function (data) {
        //stuff
    }
}

No denying, taking a regular care of your skin isn't as easy as anything. So if you want your skin to look flawless & glowing, you must have a healthy skin care routine. Apart from the tips, you can follow at your home; you might need various skin care treatments especially when it's obvious that no tip is going to help you out.
In point of fact, as we age lines and wrinkles are more likely to grow each day that passes. Along with the skin care treatments, you must be able to be familiar with the proper method of washing yourself on a regular basis. In short, you can't just rely on either skin care tips or skin care treatments. Both of them are intimately related to each other. For instance, most girls are used to washing their faces with a paste of baking soda to avoid the effects of dead skin.
Although nothing is wrong with that, you must not continue any tip at home especially when you are undergoing one of the skin care treatments. Some of the recipes can also work such as natural face mask recipes and some of them might be a subject to skin care treatments.
Well, skin care treatments that are recently being used include eye creams, body lotions, serums, wrinkle soothers, face moisturizers, dark spot fading serums, night creams, anti-aging lip treatment & more.
Simultaneously, you can't be blind to common skin care mistakes such as using maximum strength cleaners, not using sunscreen, over washing, changing your skin care products too often, and using allergic shampoos or conditioners. While you are washing your skin too much, you are inviting too much dryness.
The use of maximum or high power cleansers may result in dryness and skin irritation. Similarly, changing your skin care products too often can throw your skin off balance. Any part of the body exposed to allergenic conditioners and shampoos could be behind a lot of problems such as on your back, neck, shoulders and even hands.


Labelexpo Europe 2013 is set to be the largest in the show's 33 year history as it returns to Belgium between 24 – 27 September. 2011's show floor was 29,670sqm while 2013's event has grown to occupy seven halls at Brussels Expo and is on course to cover 31,500sqm with 30,142sqm already sold.
With many big name exhibitors increasing their presence at the event, AB Graphic, Avery Dennison, Codimag, Domino, Durst, EFI, Gallus, HP Indigo, Mark Andy, MPS, Nilpeter, Nuova Gidue, Omet, Prati, Stork Prints, UPM Raflatac and Xeikon are just some of the industry's leading companies that will be showcasing their latest innovations and solutions.


This spring we are taking part in more conferences than ever before, attending professional events not just in Hungary, but also in Prague, Poland and the USA, introducing our recent developments and updated partner programmes in addition to finding out about the industry's latest innovations and meeting potential new partners.
The VCC team has just returned from 'Teleco Days', a conference in Prague which focused both on discussing the latest innovations in European and international telecommunications, and on providing a forum to network with potential business partners through individual meetings. The two-day-long event was highly relevant to us from a product development point of view, as all talks were related to cloud-based data handling and data security in telecommunications. Our meetings with potential partners, in which we presented our VCC Pay feature, also proved to be highly successful, with everyone congratulating us on our innovative way of thinking, which they felt was far in advance of our competitors.
VCC is interested in attending telecommunications events not only because of its telco services but also because of its recently established multi-level reseller and partner programme, which allows international service providers to benefit from cooperating with us. We have already attended the recent 'Sales Trends 2016' event in Budapest, where we talked about our latest developments and efficient customer service solutions, and in May we are taking part in the biggest international telecommunications event in the USA, Chicago's 'ITW 2016', where we hope to build fruitful relationships with US partners. In addition, we will also be meeting international start-up company managers at the forthcoming 'Wolves Summit', in Warsaw.

Musician from Los Angeles. Like to play golf, my guitar, and go to the movies. Currently attending film school. Should be in a band touring the world, though. I enjoy long walks with good company. People call me a handsome. Use to be big but I've lost almost fifty pounds and now I'm slim. Would like someone to hang out with and spend quality time.


participants is our love for our subject of Structural Engineering.
have made this site a wonderful place of learning and knowledge.
participants,sometimes,from Brazil and Italy too.
Many thanks for your posting and thanks for your appreciation. Participation by elders like you, Prof.Dr ARC, and Er Rangarajan , and others, gives us encouragement.
As you have rightly said, participating in discussions is a two-way learning process. I think that the quality of teachers also improves if they get good students, who ask intelligent questions.
As you have mentioned any question may not be silly. As I have written in my earlier posting, some inventions are due to the questioning mind of the inventors who were dare enough to question the status-quo ( for example, The Polaroid camera).
Reg. the presence of similar Forums, I am aware of another forum called Engineering Tips- however I am sure about it's strength and the interaction. Those interested may visit http://www.eng-tips.com/threadcategory.cfm?lev2=21.
Others may inform me about other similar forums.
Wishing you all the best. May God Bless You!
being attended by very few due to paucity of time.
Forum will definately live for ever.
Thanks for your kind words and it is a blessing to get such a felicitation from an elderly engineer. It is just like that I started posting of what I learned and I learned a lot not only the technical knowledge but also some good way of moving with all age groups. It is really interesting to discuss with all sefians since all fingers are of not the same length. Need blessings from you, Er.Ibarua, Dr.N.S and Dr.Kunal and of course from all to continue as a member.
I pray the GOD to give a good health to continue as a member.
I pray the ALMIGHTY to get good health for you.
It brings a lot pleasure to all us have a support of a veteran engineer scanning & observing the deeds of the youth & the matured. It is also expected that more engineering fatherly personalities like you would help the nation by interacting with the working professionals donating the illumination of their individual experience from the engineering profession & the related coordination disciplines. The slide rule age & the IT age mixing shall really be extremely interesting so that the youth engineers are encouraged to be ready to face the future engineering struggles. Only engineers like you can explain to the youth how the engineer's life works in the reality? They should know that all is not green!
There is another very vibrant forum ( www.seaint.org ), which has been in existence for a very long time, and was in fact the inspiration for creating SEFI. Since most of the discussion on SEAINT group is on US codes, we felt the need to create something similar, but with reference to Indian codes, hence the creation of SEFI.
Many thanks for your kind personal sentiments.
I am a great admirer of your postings on this forum.
Thanks a lot indeed for your encouraging comments but I am very ordinary simple person. I consider myself fortunate to have your blessings.
Presently, I have been staying at this address for the construction of my house due to the reason that I intended to control the structure myself. In year 2000, I had entrusted to one of my architect friend to supervise a small portion of 25 % on ground floor but he did not follow my design drawings sent from UAE & constructed his own way.
I worked for DDA for 6 years & overseas in gulf for about 18 years in many countries. I am thinking to go back as & when I find a good assignment.
Construction Method Statements based on my personal experience.
The book was not given a good response except from some African countries.
Whenever, I find free time I utilise for writing work or similar nature of other works.
My thoughts says that time is of essence & should be considered as a personal free invetment to be used by anyone.
I am now 54 & countdown shall start soon.
I think that the new generation is lucky to have at least an electronic medium to get quick solutions of their problems.
May I please know what are "Applied Spiritual Numbers" as mentioned by you ?

THE BIG ONE! CYBER SYSTEMIC RISK – NOT ENTITY RISK –IS INCREASING
The Russian attack on the SolarWinds software is destined to impact thousands of government and private sectotor entities. However its real significance may lie in not the extent, or even the damage of this specific attack, but rather in the way this cyber attack was carried out SolarWinds may well consitute a dangerous paradigm shift in the nature of cyber attacks.
To date the overwhelming emphasis of private and public policy work in cybersecurity has been on risk to entities such as cyber breaches stealing corporate intellectual property or consumer data. However, as attack methods have become increasingly sophisticated, and the attack community has grown, the risk of systemic cyber failure with potentially catastrophic impacts has grown. We are at a point where the cybersecurity community needs to intensify the preliminary work that has been done to analyze and prevent these systemic attacks.
Historically, cyber risk management has been very company specific, addressing the cyber security posture single organization. Most cyber risk management efforts have focused on codifying firm-specific best practices and incentivizing individual companies to adopt them. A single company view aims to answer: how likely is it that Company X will have a critical failure of cyber security? And, how damaging will that failure be to the company? The traditional approach has been valuable in minimizing the potential for large single-company loss. However, this approach was insufficient in addressing the multi-company, cascading impacts, and the breakdown of systems that underlie the country's economic health and well-being. Recent attacks such as "WannaCry" and "NotPetya" demonstrates that risk manifests not only at the company level, but at the systems level, cascading across sectors and industries.
It is important to note that firm-specific risk management should not be undermined, but the historical approach has focused more on the trees rather than the forest. As mentioned above, risk management process aims to assess range of possible outcomes that could drive deviation from what we expect and minimize its surprise. Historical approach to cyber risk management has overlooked the importance of systemic risk and has been inadequate in fulfilling its role in a society where systemic risk imposes great threat. To address the concern, cyber risk management needs to advance materially and marry company- and systems-level views of cyber risk. Going forward, it will be crucial for industries and sectors to cooperate in developing a systemic risk management process to prepare for the future.
Systemic technology failures go far beyond economic disruption, and, in some cases, may jeopardize human life and property. Employees of the National Health Service in the United Kingdom learned this first-hand as they moved to paper and pencil and turned away patients when WannaCry crippled NHS' Windows-based computer system. Today, attackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in commonly used software to direct crippling ransomware at hospitals treating COVID-19 patients, technology companies supplying aviation navigation information, and energy companies supplying natural gas. As our critical infrastructure and service providers become increasingly inter-connected, and leverage common hardware, software and vendors, the nation's cyber risk level increases.
Most cyber risk management efforts have focused on codifying firm-specific best practices and incentivizing individual companies to adopt them, addressing the potential for single company failures to safeguard information, or maintain the integrity or availability of data and systems. For example, the leading cyber risk management frameworks – provided by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ISO/IEC 27000 series and Center for Internet Security (CIS) controls – focus largely on protecting a company's own networks and assets.
This firm-specific risk management is valuable in ensuring that we minimize the potential for large single-company losses. However, it does not address the problem of multi-company, cascading impacts, and the breakdown of systems that underlie the country's economic health and well-being. The truth of the matter is that we've built a network of highly interconnected and tightly coupled counterparties that rely on common technology products and services. Failures at a single critical point can lead to cascading effects across the entire system.
As a society, our expectations, and hence risk models, have not caught up with this reality. The key systemic risk questions that must be answered include:
Which companies and technology products represent critical nodes of aggregation (NoAs) based on the number of counterparties that rely upon them?
How vulnerable are the NoAs to material failures of cyber security? How secure are the products supplied to the network.
Which NoAs are being actively targeted by attackers? What is the attackers' motivation? and intent? How likely are they to succeed?
How well prepared are NoAs to handle the significant costs and demands in the event of a security failure in their technology products or services?
What policies will incentivize strong security at NoAs, make protecting the system a top priority and minimize negative externalities?
Some initial progress has been made on exploring these questions in some sectors – for example, in Financial Services, via the risk register and scenario work being done by the Financial Systemic Analysis & Resilience Center (FSARC). NIST has also published information recently that guides companies on identifying and addressing digital supply chain risk. DHS has initiated an important cross-sectoral model by developing their critical functions list. This work will be foundational to expand practices to other critical sectors and functions and ensure that the country is not surprised by, and unprepared for, future systemic technology failures. In the next series of blogs, we will be outlining critical next steps in developing a comprehensive systemic risk model. As we will detail there is a lot of work that needs to be done in this largely uncharted field, and the time pressure, while not precisely knowable, is certainly getting shorter. This is an area in need of substantial development and fast.

Through this custom service, USA Triathlon Event Directors, Managers and Promoters can submit information to receive no obligation quotes and bind insurance coverage for Ancillary Event Liability, Event Cancellation and Weather Insurance. The need for this protection arises from the fact that the USA Triathlon sanctioned event liability and event accident medical insurance policy was primarily designed to provide coverage for participants only. It does not extend coverage for ancillary non-racing activities like concerts, vending, expo, concessions, demonstrations, etc. In fact, it specifically excludes ancillary non-race related activities.
For information, quotes and to begin the application process, please select your desired plan below.
Event Cancellation - Protects your revenue or expenses from an event against cancellation due to circumstances beyond your control. These circumstances can include, but are not limited to, hurricanes, earthquakes, severe/adverse weather, terrorism, labor strikes, non-appearance of key people, and unavailability of the venue due to fires, floods, or power outages.

Q: Use href to submit into a php file I want to make a login form which  should provide 2 ways to submit , one through the login button which should submit the info into the login.php and another through the href (Forgot password) which should redirect the user and submit the info to the forgotpassword.php file. So far I have tried this code but it doesn't work:

<form id="ee" method="POST" action="login.php">

Username
<input type="text" name="username">

Password
<input type="password" name="password">

Forgot Password

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

</form>

A: *

*First issue as I have commented was the typo mistake.

*Second issue is submit button name. Refer to following post.

JSFiddle
Code

function forgotpassword() {
  var form = document.getElementById("ee");
  form.action = "project_forgotpassword.php";
  console.log(form)
  form.submit();
}
<form id="ee" method="POST" action="login.php">

      Username

        <input type="text" name="username">

      Password

        <input type="password" name="password">

      Forgot Password

        <input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Submit">

</form>

Changes
<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Submit">

A: When calling the javascript function you can omit the javascript: from the onclick handler. You might wish to use that syntax when invoking the function from a standard hyperlink, such as link but that is not common.
In the amended forgotpassword function I use setAttribute rather than trying to call the attribute directly - I think it is more reliable that way. Also, unless in the js function, you prevent the default action of the hyperlink it will simply try to go to the value in the href attribute.

<form id="ee" method="POST" action="login.php">

            Username
            <input type="text" name="username">

            Password
            <input type="password" name="password">

            Forgot Password

                <input type="submit" name="subform" value="Submit">

</form>

One final thing - change the name of the submit button ~ it shouldn't be called submit - especially when trying to invoke form submission using javascript.

A: Try this,
$('#forgetpassword').click(function(){

      $("form[name='form_name']").attr("action", "project_forgotpassword.php");

      $("form[name='form_name']").submit();
   });

Change the forget Password link as below,
Forgot Password


I know that feeling, the feeling of anger, rejection, hurts and pains what made it more painful is the fact that nobody understands not even the people you call friends each time you shed those innocent tears they tell you "You need to get over it and move on you are not the first" some are even nicer they hold you and tell you "Cheer up its going to be fine" but those harsh or sweet words are not just enough to make you feel better you are in serious pain you are hurt not just by anybody but by the one you loved and trusted the most.
I've got news for you, I've been there and I totally understand, I feel what you are going through yes I've been there, I've been rejected, abused, used, disappointed and betrayed by the ones I trusted, the ones I gave all my life, I relied on them for support some of them walked out on me without saying goodbye I kept asking myself "where did I miss it, what was my fault?" so you can trust me when I tell you I know exactly how it feels, my heart was ripped into two I was broken and I was hurt, I can't count the number of times I had to wet my pillow, I used to wonder if there was a God up there nobody understood, I was living in pains for years I was scared of getting close to people I thought everybody I met wanted to hurt me. I could remember the day my uncle told me I was sick for crying over a break up, I could remember a lot of people telling me it was my fault that he walked out, I cannot tell you all I've been through, at a point I felt life was not worth living I knew I had talents I knew I had potentials but I was too clouded by pains to see a brighter side of me for years I was living in my shadows I was too scared of coming out, I felt nobody wanted me I heard a lot of motivational talks but it just couldn't heal me but at a point I was tired of living in pains, I wanted to smile again, I had to make a deliberate effort to come out.
What exactly do you do when the one you love let you down? when people you trust disappoints when your best friends becomes enemies? How do you deal with hurts and pains?
Firstly, don't ever play the blame game on yourself, don't blame yourself because it happened, don't feel bad for yourself because it didn't work out we are humans we all make mistakes learn from your mistakes but don't blame yourself, stop feeling guilty stop saying "If I had done this" if someone walks out on you it's just because it was never meant to be sometimes disappointments is God's way of preventing you from errors and troubles.
Secondly, forgive that person, I know it sounds crazy you want to say "I'm not sure you understand" I understand, unforgiveness in your heart is hurting you and not the person who hurt you, the person who hurt you is probably sleeping peacefully and you are up all night crying can you see it's not worth it forgive them so that you can move on.
Thirdly, don't ever think going into another relationship will help soothe your pain sweetheart you are wrong, it's never going to help you, you will only end up punishing an innocent soul for the sins of another, give yourself time to heal.
Fourthly, forgive yourself don't be deceived its really okay to cry the problem is when you cry for too long and you wallow in it, cry your heart out let out the pain, if screaming would make you feel better scream but when you are done crying get up, forgive yourself and move on see the brighter side and become a better person, there is a right person out there for you, forgive yourself and be strong.
Finally and most importantly, allow God to heal you no other person feels your pain like He does, tell Him exactly how you feel, God is not just the provider of material things He heals heart and He gives us peace real peace that surpasses all understanding. I can assure you that His arms are wide open to hold you and wipe your tears and He is ready to heal you and give you a heart to love again.
Sweetheart, we are all humans and we make mistakes forgive yourself, forgive the person that hurt you, you will look back someday and thank God because all the heartbreaks, the pains, the disappointment will make you a better person learn that lesson you need to learn and moves on.
If God could fix me and clean up my mess then He will do much more for you because today I'm grateful for all the pains because they made me better and wiser, you've got to trust God and let Him help you.
