Between Seattle and the Canadian border, lying just off the mainland, is a confetti of islands. Some are accessible only by boat or ferry, but a few can be reached by car and offer a delightful variety of activities, breathtaking scenery, and mouth-watering eateries. Best of all, there's plenty to do with your dogs!
Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands are the epitome of the word bounty – everywhere you look, a cornucopia pours forth from the land and sea. But these are not posh islands cluttered with ostentatious homes and exclusive country clubs. There are farms, vineyards, and orchards … fishing villages … and artist communities. The people are down-to-earth and friendly. It's like someone took a bit of the rural midwest and plopped it here next to the ocean, with seals playing in the bays and orcas roaming the depths. It's comfortable, and beautiful, and connected to it's surroundings in a way you don't often see anymore.
Discovering all the pet friendly attractions around the islands was the icing on the cake for us. We hope our experience encourages you to add this to your pet friendly travel plans!
Anacortes sits at the north end of Fidalgo Island, and is known for its ferry terminal to the San Juans and Victoria, British Columbia – but this is a fantastic town in it's own right! Commercial Avenue offers a lively collection of boutiques, eateries, and galleries; Cap Sante Park is perfect for enjoying serene views of Fidalgo Bay; the comings and goings at the marina provide hours of entertainment; and the Tommy Thompson Trail runs for miles along the bay, giving you paved access to the heart of the area's scenery.
If your pup is looking for a romp, the Ace of Hearts Rotary Park at 38th Street and H Avenue has an off-leash area complete with drinking water, a rinse station, and a separate area for smaller dogs.
The best views on Fidalgo are found atop Mount Erie, at the center of the island. The panoramic scenes stretch from the North Cascades to Mount Rainier and around to the Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound on the Olympic Peninsula.
There are several parking areas, including one at the top – but if you're up for a challenge, leave your car at the bottom and climb the thousand feet to the summit. Leashed pets are welcome on on the trails!
Deception Pass is Washington's most visited state park for a reason – covering more than 4,000 acres, it offers 14 miles of saltwater shoreline and 6 miles of freshwater shoreline on three lakes. The park straddles Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands, connecting the two with its famous high bridge.
Pets are welcome to explore all 38 miles of hiking trails throughout the park with you. In addition, you can camp, fish, kayak, bike, birdwatch, and watch the sunset on the beach with your furry travel companion.
Deception Pass State Park Pet Policy: Pets must be on a leash no more than eight feet long at all times, and are not permitted on designated swimming beaches. Owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets.
A one-day pass to use the state park costs $10, and the parking areas at Deception Pass have self-registration stations. If you're planing to visit several parks during your stay, purchasing an annual pass for $30 may be more economical. Or, plan your trip on one of Washington's Discover Pass Free days!
Making your way south from Deception Point, the next stop we recommend is Ebey's Landing. From the parking area on Cemetery Road (across from Sunnyside Cemetery) you can admire the expanse before you. And what at first appears to be just lovely overlook, soon reveals itself as a magnificent hike.
We were excited to meet up with good friends, Alex and Ellen, who also travel full-time in their motorhome. They hopped on the ferry from Port Townsend to hang out with us for the day, and the weather was perfect for our hike.
Following Ebey's Prairie trail from the parking area, it's about three quarters of a mile to the "You are here" star on the map. From there you have a couple of options – we chose the Bluff Trail, and were not disappointed. Even Ty was smiling!
The dirt trail goes out along the edge of the cliff and comes back on the beach. Just as we were heading back to the car the fog rolled in and completely filled the valley!
Continuing south a few miles, you'll enter the quaint village of Coupeville. The second oldest town in the state, this was once the enter of the island's booming fishing industry, and it still home to Penn Cove Shellfish – one of the oldest commercial mussel farms in America. Needless to say, if you're looking for fresh seafood lunch, the restaurants in Coupeville will not disappoint.
There are also a number of historic buildings, shops to explore, and a pier with a small museum. If you happen to be visiting in March, try not to miss the annual mussel chowder competition!
Fort Casey was originally a U.S. Army base that opened in 1897 and was decommissioned after World War II. With the old battlements and artillery bunkers still in place, it's a intriguing park to explore. The highlight, however, is Admiralty Head Lighthouse, which was built in 1903, decommissioned in 1922, and used for a time as a training facility for the Army's K-9 dog program.
Now the lighthouse is an interpretive center with exhibits telling the history of the area, including local Native American tribes, the building of the Red Bluff Lighthouse, and the construction of Fort Casey.
The community of Greenbank revolves around this 151-acre former loganberry farm. Now the buildings house a café, wine and cheese store, and art galleries.
Thanks to timely advice from a Facebook friend, we knew to partake at Whidbey Pies and, truly, it's not to be missed! Dogs are welcome at the outdoor picnic tables.
Though Ty and Buster were more impressed with the off-leash trails! After moseying through the public gardens and getting a few pictures by the pond, they burned off a little energy out in the fields.
Note that pets must be on leash near the buildings. The off-leash area begins past the red and white flags. Please pick up after your dogs to protect other pets and wildlife that share this space.
Not Convinced? We Have More Ideas!
Uschi Gerschner Great! I'll be watching for them!
Hi Uschi! There are a couple of beaches on Whidbey that are dog friendly – Double Bluff and Useless Bay. As you know, Ty and Buster are not fans of getting wet, so we don't have any personal exprience with them, but I'm sure you'll have a great time!
Amy, were there any beaches on any of the islands where dogs can swim? Trying to decide if we should go to the islands or the Olympic peninsula when we're up in Seattle.
We were there last summer with our RV, dog and cat. Lots of pet friendly places. The dog loved it, the cat, not so much. She stayed in the RV.
You're so welcome! We stayed at Fidalgo Bay RV Park, and loved it, Linda. They do have cabins for rent there, and I believe a couple of them are pet friendly. Otherwise, it looks like we have a couple hotels listed on the site: http://www.gopetfriendly.com/…/washington/anacortes/1.aspxWaggin' trails!
GoPetFriendly.comThank you! By the way, can you recommend pet friendly lodging near Anacortes? House or other? Doesn't have to be right in the city.
Yes, you'll all have a fantstic time, Linda! Waggin' trails!

Q: insufficient_scope when trying to use Google admin.directory.group API with ADC I am trying to use ADC to use Google Admin directory/groups API but getting insufficient_scope error. My email address attached to ADC is a super admin in Google workspace. I am not sure whats going wrong, here is the code:
const {google} = require('googleapis');

async function main () {
    const auth = new google.auth.GoogleAuth({
        scopes: [
            'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform',
            'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group',
            'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.user'
        ],
    });
    const service = await google.admin({version: 'directory_v1', auth});
    const res = await service.members.list({
        groupKey: 'my-group@my-domain'
    }).then(
        res => console.log(res.data)
    )
    console.log(res.data.members);
}

main().catch(console.error);

And I get following error:

    }
  ]
}

Here is my application-default-credential.json file:
cat ~/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json
{
  "client_id": "someClientId.apps.googleusercontent.com",
  "client_secret": "someClientSecret",
  "refresh_token": "someRefreshToken",
  "type": "authorized_user"
}

Interesting thing is that if I use admin.directory.user API, that works:
    // works
    const res = await service.users.list({
        customer: 'my_customer',
        maxResults: 10,
        orderBy: 'email',
    });

    console.log(res.data.members);

I am workspace admin, so I am assuming my ADC would be sufficient to get token for admin.directory.group API. Can I get idea about what could be going wrong?
Thanks.

A: Members.list requires one of the following scooes

*

*https://apps-apis.google.com/a/feeds/groups/

*https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group

*https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group.member

*https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group.member.readonly

*https://www.googleapis.com/auth/admin.directory.group.readonly
You appear to be using one of these.   My guess its that you have already authorized the user once then changed the scopes but did not authorize the user again using the new scopes
You need to either remember access directly in the users google account or remove it in your code I can't see that you are storing it locally could it be a cookie or something sorry not the best at node.js

Erítinos (en grec antic Ἐρυθῖνοι) era una ciutat a la costa de Paflagònia que Homer menciona al "Catàleg dels troians" a la Ilíada, li dona l'epítet d'elevada i diu que era una de les ciutats aliades de Príam a la guerra de Troia.

Estrabó deia que la ciutat estava situada sobre dues grans roques elevades, i que el nom li venia del color vermellós (ἒρυθρῖνοι) que tenien. Indica que la ciutat es trobava a 90 estadis d'Amastris i a 60 de Cromna.

The Flash's Rick Cosnett Comes Out as Gay in Sweet Video
The actor said he was coming out because he made a promise to "live my truth every day."
By Tracy E. Gilchrist
February 14 2020 11:06 AM EST
Actor Rick Cosnett who starred on the CW's The Flash came out as gay in a sweet video posted to Instagram.
"Hi everyone. Dramatic pause," Cosnett said. "I'm gay."
"I just wanted everyone to know because I've made a promise to myself to live my truth every day and sometimes that is a really hard thing to do when you have all these subconscious things that you don't even know about from childhood and society and from just life," Cosnett, who was born in Zimbabwe and moved to Australia as a teenager said.
"Most of you probably already knew anyway," he added.
On the Flash, he played a pivotal character who was friends with the Flash Barry Allen (Grant Gustin), was romantically involved with Iris (Candice Patton), and was partners with Iris's dad Joe (Jesse L. Martin). He was also related to the supervillain Eobard Thawne (Reverse Flash).
Cosnett has also starred in The Vampire Diaries, Quantico and the acclaimed Bolivian gay-themed film Tu Me Manques (2019).
He ended his video with, "That's all I wanted to say."
"I also have a sty on my eye, which adds to the whole drama of the whole thing," he joked.

Do you have a good story about this?
Love Relationships: the biggest scam in the world?
Romantic LOVE. The final frontier. Even if everything else fails: businesses, friendships, hopes, dreams, careers, we'll always have Romantic Love. The singularity point, the magic potion that will cure everything.
We grew up with this thinking deeply engrained in our brains. Most stories tell it so: after all the struggles, the boy gets the girl. After all the waiting, the girl gets the boy. And they live happily ever after.
Romantic Love is now one of the biggest obsessions in the world at this point.

Another year has come and gone, so for the first time on this blog, I thought I'd share with you my top 10 favorite films that came out last year! Keep in mind that this list is only compiled of movies that I actually saw in 2017, so even though I'm dying to see the Oscar-hopefuls with limited releases like Phantom Thread and The Post, they will not be making any appearances on this list.
It should also be noted that 2017 was a tremendous year for good films, so there are quite a few that just barely missed top spots on this list. A few of those honorable mentions include Darkest Hour, The Disaster Artist, The LEGO Batman Movie, It, Thor Ragnarok, and Detroit.
Brigsby Bear – Directed by Dave McCary
"Brigsby Bear Adventures is a children's TV show produced for an audience of one: James. When the show abruptly ends, James's life changes forever, and he sets out to finish the story himself."
Of all the films on this list, this Number 10 spot was one of the most contested. There's no two ways about it: This is a weird film. Starring Kyle Mooney, Mark Hamill, and Greg Kinnear, this brilliantly cast film takes a surprisingly original (and a little messed up) story idea and makes it something so much deeper than it has any right to be. It's an ode to those who create with a masterful tale of overcoming trauma hidden beneath the surface, and I truly loved its heart-warming quirkiness.
Good Time – Directed by Josh and Benny Safdie
"After a botched bank robbery lands his younger brother in prison, Connie Nikas embarks on a twisted odyssey through New York City's underworld in an increasingly desperate and dangerous attempt to get his brother out of jail."
Good Time is one of those films that just feels like a crazy runaround adventure on the surface, but the further you dig, you see just how much the movie has to say about a whole host of issues. None of it would work so well without some excellent directing by the Safdie brothers and brilliant performances by Robert Pattinson as an all-around horrible human being with a supposedly noble quest and Benny Safdie as a man with special needs dragged into a tough situation. This is one crazy trip of a movie with some serious heart at its core.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi – Directed by Rian Johnson
"Rey develops her newly discovered abilities with the guidance of Luke Skywalker, who is unsettled by the strength of her powers. Meanwhile, the Resistance prepares for battle with the First Order."
I loved just about everything that this movie had to offer. Yes, some of the subplots dip in quality, but The Last Jedi is a Star Wars movie that's more focused on being a good movie than a good Star Wars movie, and I loved that. So many of the twists and turns had me sucked into the experience, even after my third watch. Bolstered by fantastic performances from Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, and a true standout in Mark Hamill, The Last Jedi is a thematic powerhouse of a film that subverted all my expectations in the best way possible. It's truly a feat when a 40-year-old franchise can deliver something that feels this fresh.
Logan – Directed by James Mangold
"In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X, somewhere on the Mexican border. However, Logan's attempts to hide from the world are upended when a young girl arrives, pursued by dark forces."
Logan continues the pattern that 20th Century Fox started with Deadpool of pushing superhero cinema to new limits, and the result is a deeply moving story driven by Hugh Jackman and Patrick Stewart at their best. I saw the first X-Men movie far earlier than I had any right to, and I've spent numerous birthdays at the theater watching these movies. Characters like Wolverine and Professor X have been with me as I've grown into adulthood and seeing my childhood heroes broken down and put into a deeper context that I can now understand and appreciate as an adult was such a special thing.
Blade Runner 2049 – Directed by Denis Villeneuve
"A young blade runner name K discovers a long-buried secret that leads him to a former blade runner who's been missing for thirty years."
I love the original Blade Runner. It's a tonal and thematic masterpiece that sci-fi fans have ogled over for decades, but its weakest link has always been that as a film about humanity, none of its characters seem very human. Blade Runner 2049 fixes that problem and plenty of the others from the original, making it a superior film on almost every level. The storyline is engaging and genuinely suspenseful, the characters are fleshed out, and the performances are spectacular. Director Denis Villeneuve asks Ryan Gosling to do some real heavy lifting as K, and he freaking brings it. Don't even get me started on the music, setting, and cinematography.
Lady Bird – Directed by Greta Gerwig
"In the early 2000s, an artistically-inclined 17-year-old named Christine 'Lady Bird' McPherson comes of age in Sacramento, California."
I've never really been a fan of films that simply follow people through their lives, but there's something incredibly powerful in this directorial debut from Greta Gerwig. Christine's adventure through her senior year of high school highlights this pervasive feeling that everyone around us is broken. Everyone is struggling with something, and because of that, everyone in our lives will let us down at one point or another. The beauty of Lady Bird is that it doesn't just leave us to grapple with that alone. It reminds us that there's a unity in recognizing each other's faults, and between all the broken parts, there is overwhelming joy and beauty to found in everything.
Dunkirk – Directed by Christopher Nolan
"Allied soldiers from Belgium, the British Empire and France are surrounded by the German Army, and evacuated during a fierce battle in World War II."
Dunkirk uses escalating intensity the same way Mad Max: Fury Road uses action – a vehicle in which to tell the story while setting characters to the side. Its "to the point" style of filmmaking is unusual for a Christopher Nolan project, but at the same time, it feels like he was the only person who could have pulled off what Dunkirk did. Can a main protagonist be considered an entire army with the same goals and motivations? I don't know for sure, but watching Nolan wrestle with this question on-screen was one of the most captivating movie-going experiences of 2017.
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri – Directed by Martin McDonagh
"Mildred Hayes, a mother from the deep south, personally challenges the local authorities to solve her daughter's murder when they fail to catch the culprit."
If there are any one of these films we 100% needed in 2017, it's this one. The characters in Three Billboards are surprisingly understandable, even as they act vengefully towards their neighbors and people who've wronged them. The story is such a potent reminder that when anger turns to action, it sparks a wildfire that spreads fast. Personal feuds that start between two characters quickly spill into the lives of others, creating an even bigger fire. Through the events in this movie, we see the all-consuming effects of anger and bitterness, but what makes Three Billboards so great is the underlying theme that points us to the redemptive power of forgiveness.
Baby Driver – Directed by Edgar Wright
"After being coerced into working for a crime boss, a young getaway driver named Baby finds himself taking part in a heist doomed to fail."
In an ironic twist, Baby Driver is like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney World. It's a high-flying thrill ride driven by music that makes you want to go again immediately after the first ride. Between its theatrical run and its release on home video, I can't count how many times I've seen this film. Baby Driver has this great cinematic beat to it that gets you hooked and an unforgettable cast of characters that reels you in and makes you want to invest in the story. Yeah, I know I might have overdone it on the music comparisons. That was on purpose.
Get Out – Directed by Jordan Peele
"A young African-American named Chris goes to meet with his white girlfriend's parents for a weekend in their secluded estate in the woods, but before long, the friendly ambience gives way to a nightmare."
Jordan Peele knocks it out of the darn park with his directorial debut. I knew this film was something really special back when I saw it in February, and I spent most of 2017 waiting for a film to come along and beat it. It never happened. Get Out excels on so many levels. It's a shockingly detailed film that's part-horror, part-comedy, part-social thriller, and all kinds of brilliant. Nothing I could say could accurately describe how fantastic this film is (nor would I want it to), so just believe me when I say that Get Out should be the top of your watchlist if you haven't seen it already.

Media Situation - Balkanmedia
Media Situation in Croatia
From socialist times to the current democracy, Croatian media have undergone a transition through a series of reforms. The dissolution of Yugoslavia and the autonomy in Croatia have opened up the door to the worldwide and European trend of market liberalisation. There has been a lack of transparency of media ownership and privatisation, due to which the main objective of journalism transformed into primarily gaining profit, whereas the quality of the media content became of secondary importance. Under such circumstances, tabloidisation finds its way into the media, which conforms to the audience but also attracts advertisers as a source of profit. The Covid-19 pandemic worsened the financial crisis in the media – many outlets cut pay and stopped using freelancers. In the summer of 2020 the government took some measures in order to improve the financial state in the media field, but not all outlets benefited.
Print media in existential crisis
The global economic crisis of 2008, that has left many citizens impoverished, has also had a great impact on print media, for their circulations are declining every year, showing that the media industry has not yet fully recovered from the financial crisis more than a decade ago. "Declines in advertising revenue have forced many media into survival mode, which has affected everything from pay standards for journalists to editorial independence to increasingly blurred lines between native advertising and genuine media content", states the IREX Media Sustainability Index 2019. Altogether, Croatia's print sector is dealing with the same problems as many other countries worldwide, meaning that there are two main reasons for decreasing sales figures: Digital media platforms that have taken over a majority of the former print-only advertising market, and increasing production costs for daily papers and magazines.
Media outlets try to fight corruption
According to the report of Reporters Without Borders in the domain of press freedom, Croatia takes its place as the 56th country out of 180. The public service, which should serve as a public good for all citizens, is usually creating its own content depending on the prevailing political structure that has a great impact on public media, due to which their freedom is seriously narrowed. During the reign of the conservative party (after the war), human rights and the freedom of press were seriously threatened, while corruption was widely present. Journalists have found themselves in an unfavourable position due to the fact that they were not allowed to report on corrupt practices that were going on, but instead had to censor them. According to the report Corruption Perception Index 2019 of Transparency International, Croatia holds the place number 63 out of 180 countries in terms of corruption rates. The situation has changed since 2000, when the Liberals came to power and created a better image of the media than it was before. In the last couple of years, the situation has changed even more. The media have publicly revealed and reported on numerous scandals and corruptive acts of a number of Croatian state officials, which is a great progress towards full media freedom. Nonetheless, the Croatian media are still very much corrupted, censored, the ownership of media is nontransparent and the journalists work in very poor conditions.
Croatia's rocky road to EU democratic standards
In 30 years of media transition, numerous laws and legal acts on media have been passed. They also served as a start for further regulations. Challenges which Croatia has to face nowadays, as a member of the EU as of 1st of July 2013, is the liberation of the media from political impact, a greater transparency of ownership, abolishing censorship, better ethics and content quality and self-regulation of journalism which will enable the creation of better working conditions for every journalist.
According to the EC 2021 Rule of Law Report "Croatia is updating its media legislation to transpose the Audiovisual Media Services Directive, with the revision of the Electronic Media Act to be adopted still in 2021.". The report raises concern about the political independence of the Agency for Electronic Media.

EU trade chief: Europe ready to retaliate if US imposes auto tariffs
Malmstrom did not specify the US products on which the EU would levy retaliatory tariffs. (Shutterstock)
Reuters, Washington Thursday, 15 November 2018
European Union Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said on Wednesday that the EU has a list of potential retaliation targets ready in case US President Donald Trump imposes auto tariffs on the bloc's member states.
Malmstrom told reporters after a meeting with US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer that they did not speak specifically about auto tariffs, but focused instead on regulatory cooperation issues and ways to enable EU countries to import more American soybeans and liquefied natural gas.
Malmstrom did not specify the US products on which the EU would levy retaliatory tariffs, as consultations with member states would need to take place, but she said the list could include "all kinds" of products.
"It could be cars, it could be agriculture, it could be industrial products - it could be everything. And we will do that, but hope we don't have to get to that situation," she said.
Malmstrom also said that the EU is willing to negotiate a limited trade deal on industrial goods, including autos, that seeks to bring tariff rates to zero for both the United States and Europe.
But the scope of these talks cannot be defined until early 2019, when the USTR completes its consultation process with Congress and the EU receives a negotiating mandate from member states, she added.
Trump administration officials on Tuesday said the president's trade team made no decisions on how to proceed with new recommendations from the Commerce Department on whether to impose tariffs on autos and auto parts to protect the US industry on national security grounds. The contents of the recommendations have not been disclosed.
An influential automotive trade group warned on Wednesday that increased US autos tariffs will erode the benefits of tax cuts and the new US-Mexico-Canada Agreement trade deal.
"If implemented, increased auto tariffs would not only undermine the potential success of the USMCA, they would also pose a material threat to the economy and may result in the loss of as many as 700,000 jobs across the US," the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers said in prepared testimony for a hearing on Thursday before the US International Trade Commission.
The group, which represents both Detroit-based and foreign automakers, said it "strongly encourages" the administration to drop its national security probe on autos.
It added that side-letters to the USMCA providing Canada and Mexico with tariff-free import quotas of 2.6 million vehicles each in the event Trump imposes car tariffs indicate that the administration intends to do so.

Font type used: I chose these designs because I like how complex they are to label within a type category . Clearly they have decorative elements; however, those elements seem to be imposed on top of the actual typeface. The typeface used looks Sans Serif, however there are elements where BaBoon tweaks the letterform to create his character representation within the glyph that Serif-like projections (IE: The capital T in the sesame street design).
I really like the creativity that BaBoon used to capture the characters in the Harry Potter and Sesame Street (Muppet) worlds. I think it is a highly unique concept, however I don't see people using BaBoon's creation within their own designs. The practicality of usage is highly skewed.
Readablity as a whole would be a problem. I think people would be more captivated by the designs within the font instead of trying to piece together words that they create. Legibility, for the majority, is really good. The letterforms, for the most part, stand out. However, there are a few letters (like the lowercase z in the Sesame Street design) that seem too caught up in create the character they represent instead of trying to portray the letterform within that character. Plus, there is a point where the decorative elements in the font seem to create a problem with leading between lines. For example, once again in the Sesame Street design, the lowercase q and the uppercase U overlap. This seems to further my point that practicality of usage is a downfall.
I prefer the Harry Potter one better. For some reason, it seems more refined and professional looking to me. I looked it up on BaBoon's site and noticed that he created the Harry Potter one after the Sesame Street design. I think that the Harry Potter design shows just how far BaBoon's skills have evolved since he created the Sesame design.
The formatting of it all is good. Creating the character off of the original letterform was a good idea, and the way he did it seems to create a clear representation of the character they are supposed to represent. Still, the practicality of it all creates issues with formatting. I do not see either of the Harry Potter or Sesame Street fonts being used to create long pieces of prose. The only real usage I could see is within party invitations or something of that sort. Still, this creates a problem. Some of the character's BaBoon chose to represent are obscure and hard to identify. If you have to spell out a word using some of those decorative letterforms, then some people may not get the overall purpose of why you are using human or "monster" type font elements. For example: The capital "B" in the Sesame Street design is easily recognizable as Big Bird. However, if you were to use "A," "Y," "X" without using one of the easily recognizable characters; would people get the purpose without the aid of someone they can easily recognize?
Anyway: The concept of creating your own typeface through fictional characters is highly creative. I enjoy how he represents various characters from these two fictional worlds through typography. Still, the practicality makes me wonder: Is this really practical? Hmm….

On November 19th, New York Times bestselling author Robert Harris will publish The Second Sleep, a new standalone thriller set in 1468.
Coming off of the success of Munich (2018), which might be his best book since An Officer and a Spy(2013) Harris has rebounded nicely after receiving so-so reviews for his 2016 novel, Conclave, which featured a shocking, though improbable and pretty far out, twist ending. His latest, which is being described by his publisher as "dark" and "chilling," is said to be unlike anything else he's ever written. Check out the official plot details below.
From the internationally best-selling author of Fatherland and the Cicero Trilogy–a chilling and dark new thriller unlike anything Robert Harris has done before.
1468. A young priest, Christopher Fairfax, arrives in a remote Exmoor village to conduct the funeral of his predecessor. The land around is strewn with ancient artifacts–coins, fragments of glass, human bones–which the old parson used to collect. Did his obsession with the past lead to his death?
Fairfax becomes determined to discover the truth. Over the course of the next six days, everything he believes–about himself, his faith, and the history of his world–will be tested to destruction.
Robert Harris is the author of twelve novels: Fatherland, Enigma, Archangel, Pompeii, Imperium, The Ghost Writer, Conspirata, The Fear Index, An Officer and a Spy, Dictator, Conclave, and Munich. Several of his books have been adapted to film, most recently The Ghost Writer. His work has been translated into thirty-seven languages. He lives in the village of Kintbury, England, with his wife, Gill Hornby.
The Second Sleep comes out on November 19th and is currently available for pre-order here.

U.S. Praises German 5G Standards as Huawei Battle Simmers
The U.S. has been lobbying European allies to ban Huawei from new 5G networks over concerns China could force the company to take part in cyberespionage
LONDON (AP) — The top U.S. diplomat for cybersecurity policy on Wednesday praised Germany's draft security standards for next generation mobile networks, which he said could effectively shut out China's Huawei.
The standards published last month were a "positive step," said Rob Strayer, who's leading the U.S. campaign to persuade its allies to stop using the Chinese tech giant's network gear. The German standards, which are subject to feedback from the industry, call for mobile providers to use "trustworthy" telecom equipment suppliers that comply with national security regulations covering communications secrecy and data protection.
The U.S. has been lobbying European allies to ban Huawei from new 5G networks over concerns China's communist leaders could force the company to use its equipment for cyberespionage. Huawei, the world's biggest maker of telecom network gear, has consistently denied the U.S. allegations.
While no European countries have issued blanket bans, Strayer said a "risk-based" approach to evaluating telecom suppliers, including their relationship with their national government, would "lead inevitably" to banning Huawei. "At this point we're looking for governments to adopt security standards like we're seeing in Germany," Strayer told reporters on a conference call.
The German requirements are incompatible with China's national intelligence law, which compels companies to cooperate with intelligence requests, so "it's hard to see how Chinese technology would meet that standard," Strayer said. The U.S. is concerned that intelligence sharing or other forms of cooperation with its allies could be hurt if those countries use unsecure equipment from untrusted countries in their 5G networks, Strayer said.
The battle over Huawei has intensified in recent months as countries in Europe and elsewhere prepare to deploy 5G networks, starting with the auction of frequencies this year.


On January 24, 2014 the Mac turned 30! The Mac is not the young kid it once was, and many of us in the same boat. As time goes on we're all more experienced, one would hope wiser, and inevitably we all get older.
My desktop computer has multiple displays, and sometimes finding the mouse pointer becomes a hand exercise in giggling the mouse plus neck exercises going from side to side. The "little fly" is really tough to find!
iOS 7 is beautiful, with super sharp text and graphics. Who designs these things? Clearly these guys are in their late 20's, or Jonathan Ive has the vision of an attack eagle! Sometimes it's just plain difficult to see the detail on some apps because it's so sharp and my eyes are not the same anymore.
I don't have a MacBook with a Retina display, but I dread the day I'll replace my iMac with one with a Retina display. Just because I know that everything will be so minuscule that I will need some sort of visual aid just to find the Apple menu.
This one is not that difficult to find and in my case has made a huge difference.
Open up the System Preferences, click the Accessibility button and under the Display group on the side bar, take the Cursor Size slider and push it towards "Large".
Note: If you use Photoshop and probably other software where the size of the cursor implies how a tool works, this may be an issue for you. For example, if you use the brush tool to paint something, the cursor will appear to be much larger than the actual brush size. In that case, you could go back to the Accessibility System Preferences and return the cursor size to normal while you work with Photoshop.
In the Settings app, tap "General", then on the second group of options tap "Accessibility". Here you'll find an option that reads "Bold Text". Unfortunately to toggle this option you will need to reboot your iOS device, so it takes a few seconds to go through the cycle. Other options you see I've got on are "Increase Contrast" that should make the text easier to read, specially in the home screen, and "Reduce Motion" which turns off the parallax effect from the lock and home screens.
For many people the concept of screen resolution is a bit confusing. Without getting into the details, the logic is that if you reduce the resolution of your display, in effect you make everything larger.
On the Mac, go to the System Preferences and click the Displays option. Switching Resolution to "Scaled" will allow you to reduce the number of pixels. You may need to find a compromise between larger objects and how much you can fit in your display.
Windows 8.1 and Android also have similar options to the ones above.
In Android (I was using 4.3) I found 2 different places, both in the Settings app. The first one is under "Display", then tap "Font size".
Here you have some options to make the text larger or even smaller.
The other, also from the Settings app, is in "Accessibility". There is a "Large text" checkbox that you can toggle.
In Windows 8.1, the setting to make thing larger is a bit buried with some very informal wording. Personally I find Windows the most confusing, at least to get to the settings I want to change.
To get to the settings there are many ways. Maybe one of the simplest is from the Start Screen by typing "control panel". You can also find the Control Panel from the Settings charm, but you must invoke the charm from the Desktop (not the Start Screen or from a Windows Store app).
Once you get to the Control Panel it may open showing 2 kinds of layout. If you get the View by Category, click the "Appearance and Personalization" text, then click on "Display". If you get the View by Small icons or by Large icons, directly click on "Display".
In the Display control panel you'll see either a slider to "Change the size of all items", or radio buttons to make text larger. To try the settings you may need to log out and back in. Especially on a tablet like a Surface, making things larger on the Desktop helps when tapping around.
I just learn that you can also change the size of the cursor in Windows, and it also has a couple of other goodies that would help you find it.
For the cursor, go to the Control Panel and view by small or large icons and look for "Personalization".
You'll see some themes you can select, but to the left, look for and click the "Change mouse pointers" link.
From the Scheme, the above screenshot shows I've selected "Windows Default (extra large) (system scheme)", and I've also checked "Enable pointer shadow" close to the bottom of the windows to increase the contrast of the pointer.
You can take a look at the Visibility options under the "Pointer Options" tab in the same dialogue box. A friend of mine likes to "Display pointer trails" (I find it annoying, though), which helps find the pinter if you jiggle the mouse, or the "Show location of pointer when I press the Control key", which shows like a radar animation if you quickly tap the Control key on the keyboard. Again, useful to find the mouse, specially if you have more than one display.
Once you're done, do not forget to click the "Apply" button at the bottom of the dialogue box.
Ok, I recognize that this tip is a variation of how some teenage girls use their phones. Sometimes they use the front camera on their phone as a mirror to fix up their hair or whatnot.
The image is not simulated or enlarged in any way. This is what I was able to zoom on the list of ingredients with my iPhone!
That inspired me to try the back camera as a magnifier glass, and it works like a champ! The back camera often has better resolution than the front camera, and you can point it at, say small text on a package, and see it on screen. Even better, in photo mode you can un-pinch on the screen to zoom and make the image even larger!
Too dark for you? Switch the camera to video mode and turn on the flash. The only drawback is that you won't be able to zoom when in video mode, though.
In either mode, taping on the screen will show a square and the camera will try to focus on wherever you touch.
So, embrace your years of experience and try to make your work environment an easier place to be.


By default, when you install Solaris 11 onto a SPARC system using the Solaris text installer, the solaris-large-server pkg group is installed. This is quite a large pkg group that provides most of the software you'd need on a server. One thing it doesn't deliver, and this is deliberate, is an X environment or any of the related libraries, and thus no xterm either.
This isn't a problem for most Solaris 11 server installations, however what is becoming increasingly common to me is the number of people, particular Oracle DB administrators, who use xterm to install and administer their database. In these cases installing the solaris-desktop pkg group (the normal method of getting an X environment and corresponding libraries including xterm) is excessive.
Update: I've updated the list with an explanation for each. Thanks to Alan Coopersmith for the userful comment.
This will pull in a few additional dependencies, and by a quick calculation, install about 36Mb of additional software over-and-above the solaris-large-server pkg group.
This is certainly a lot more acceptable and appropriate for such machines.
You will be pleased to know people within Oracle are discussing the idea of implementing simple pkg groups or profiles which can be used to install just what is needed for installing other Oracle products without having to install too much. As far as I know, this is however still in the discussion stages, but watch this space.
