As we all in all in all around know, a webpage or blog made with WordPress has unending potential results by morals of the a goliath number of plugins open to build the settlement of this inconceivable CMS. Today we will take a gander at a regard that may go unnoticed at first, yet that can be to a bewildering degree solid if your site meets certain characteristics. For example, a WordPress calendar to oversee events is unassumingly sincere when you have a site of an association or get-together that offers talks, planning, shows up or all around that genuinely matters questionable.
The Best event calendar is in a general sense another affirmation, which as shown by your necessities you may require on your site. In the event that you present one of the plugins that we will see underneath, you can demonstrate the months and years, control clear events or even direct holding purposes behind constraint, ticketing and programming, et cetera. Remember that before making the confirmation of the Best event calendar plugin for WordPress you ought to portray what kind of event and innovation you require, since each plugin has accumulated credits and adaptable to your necessities.
The power of your WordPress site joins with this plugin to make a calendar with by far an expansive part of the clarifications behind covering concerning each customer. Organizing with various customers has never been so splendid. The plugin makes a private page for each event, being a standard WordPress page, yet it is clear just by you and the invited customers. The plugin keeps running with a sharp welcome structure, which accessories with you to track the customers invited to the events.
In a general sense consolidate no shy of what one guests and a notice will enlighten you when a guest has responded to your welcome. Each customer can get a notice of the event. An email will be sent something fitting around one hours already the start of this. You basically need to ask for the explanation for constraint and the structure of the synchronization watch. The plugin sorts out and never-endingly keep an eye if, insulting everything that you have events in the calendar and to light up and send the inspirations driving interest.

RNC Chairman brings bus to Ohio, no $$$ for GOTV
On October 19, 2010 By ModernEsquire
From the Dayton Daily News:
Michael Steele, chairman of the Republican National Committee, on Tuesday brought his "Fire Pelosi" campaign to Columbus.
What he didn't bring was a promise of more money from the RNC for the Ohio Republican Party, extra campaign cash that Ohio Republican Chairman Kevin DeWine of Fairborn had requested in a letter to Steele.
"The (poll) numbers are wonderful but they can be intoxicating," Steele told more than 50 volunteers and supporters in a Columbus parking lot after arriving in his burnt orange bus, with "Need a Job? Fire Pelosi" emblazoned on the side.
Polling madness
I've been in court pretty much all day today, but it looks like the media has lost its mind on polling with today's release of the Quinnipiac poll showing Kasich at a 10-point lead. The Dispatch reported it as if Kasich's lead is growing even though any person with any knowledge of polling would mock any such assertion when Quinnipiac showed virtual no movement anywhere.
But, heck, even polling that shows no change in the race isn't good news for Strickland who still needs to close the gap.
But let's keep everything in perspective.

Boxing Opinion: Can Deontay Wilder Emerge as a Heavyweight Star?
At 32-0 with a title in his possession, Deontay Wilder's stock is rising. | Photo: Showtime Sports Each jab came with blunt force, as Bermane Stiverne's neck bounced back and forth as if on a spring, keeping his head from falling off each time Deontay Wilder connected Saturday night. Stiverne had no answer for Wilder, getting pounded into relinquishment of the WBC heavyweight title. Wilder, the 29-year old from Tuscaloosa, Ala., became the first American to win a portion of the heavyweight world title since Shannon Briggs won the WBO trinket in 2006 over Chris Koval. What Wilder also became was a novelty U.S. fight fans have longed for in nearly a decade and that's a face in the heavyweight class. Though considered raw by some, Wilder (33-0, 32 KOs) showed ability many didn't think he possessed in dominating the shorter, stubborn Stiverne, who kept his mouth going with each shot he took at the MGM Grand Arena. Wilder won by unanimous scores of 118-109 (Adalaide Byrd), 119-108 (Jerry Roth) and 120-107 (Craig Metcalfe).
Alexander Gustafsson wants another crack at UFC gold. | Photo: Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com Photo: D. Mandel/Sherdog.com Johnson has won eight straight. Given the amount of talk that has swirled around the possibility of stadium shows in Brazil, the United States and Ireland over the last several years, it is somewhat surprising that the Ultimate Fighting Championship 's second event in a large arena -- the first was UFC 129 -- will take place in the comparative MMA backwater of Sweden. Alexander Gustafsson is on the cusp of becoming a legitimate star in his native country, and the promotion has pulled out all the stops, except for showing the event in local primetime, to try to make it so. Gustafsson draws the more-than-slightly-terrifying Anthony Johnson atop the UFC on Fox 14 card this Saturday at the Tele2 Arena in Stockholm, and their fight should determine the next challenger for reigning and seemingly unbeatable champion Jon Jones . The rest of the lineup features some substantial names, including the legendary but declining Dan Henderson in a co-headliner with Gegard Mousasi and perennial top-10 light heavyweights Ryan Bader and Phil Davis , plus a mixture of rising prospects and action fights beneath them.

New method for graphene growth successful
According to a press release, a Cornell research team has invented a simple way to grow graphene directly onto a silicon wafer. The work was published online Oct. 27 in the journal Nano Letters.
Predictions have been made that graphene will eventually be a substitute for silicon in electronics, but making it in large quantities is a challenge. Scientists have made progress since the days when they used scotch tape to pull off a layer of graphene from graphite, but most contemporary methods aren't yet robust enough for large-scale manufacturing, especially for the applications that require graphene with varying numbers of layers at random positions.
"You can imagine trying to peel a piece of shrink wrap off a dish to put it on a new dish – it's going to be messy," said lead researcher Jiwoong Park, Cornell assistant professor of chemistry and chemical biology.
The Cornell group's new method is to grow the graphene directly onto silicon wafers coated with a special evaporated copper film. They then cut the graphene films into their desired shapes using such standard methods as photolithography. Finally, they move the underlying copper with a chemical solution. What is left is a graphene film that draped down over the silicon wafer with little defect.
"Once the graphene is made on top of this wafer, you can apply any thin-film processing technique," Park said.
The team is now experimenting with growing four-inch wafers, which would further demonstrate the manufacturing potential of graphene-based electronics.

A project in preservation: archiving digital documents, articles and images
8 September 2022 News, yFileborn digital, digital preservation, photographsKatrina
Originally published in yFile: York University's News.
An important aspect of YFile's 20th anniversary is preserving its archived content for future generations at York University. What does the process involve when considering a digital publication with such a lengthy history? What should University community members consider when thinking of archiving their digital records?
To find out, YFile turned to the archivists at the University's Clara Thomas Archives & Special Collections Department of the York University Libraries (YUL). They are contributing their expertise to the YFile archiving project, which is of extraordinary proportions with more than 26,000 electronic posts in the publication and three accompanying binders with hundreds of images backed up on compact discs (CDs). Sitting down to answer our questions are Michael Moir, University archivist; Jennifer Grant, archivist and Nick Ruest, digital assets librarian in the YUL.
Q. Why is it important to archive electronic newsletters, images and blogs such as YFile?
A. Unlike the minutes of Senate or other official University records that the archives is mandated to preserve for the long term, content like YFile documents a broad range of activities and news relating to all members of the York community – students, staff and faculty – with an eye to highlighting the people who make the University what it is, in all its multi-faceted complexity, packaged in an easily consumable, multi-media format. So, it's important to preserve records that capture not only the content of information communicated from the University to its communities, but also the ever-changing format of that communication. For example, in the past, this type of information may have been disseminated through analog methods like newsletters or newspapers (published weekly, monthly or quarterly), reports, departmental memoranda, etc., which were easy to store and collect for the longer term. The relative ease and frequency with which information can now be shared means that there is not only much more content out there to keep track of, but it also requires concerted effort to capture and preserve for the long term, in large part because electronic media is much more fragile and ephemeral than similar information products that once were paper based.
In the archives, we can no longer expect this type of information to just come to us like once would have happened (when a community member would have boxed up their full run of departmental newsletters and reports, for example, and transferred them to us). Instead, we all (content creators, archivists and digital preservation managers) have an active part to play in ensuring that digital content being created now, which documents the activities and functions of the University in the present moment, can be easily accessed in the future to ensure that the historical record accurately reflects how the University operated in the early 21st century.
Q. What does the process for the experts in the Clara Thomas Archives & Special Collections to handle the YFile materials?
A. Like with all archival donations and transfers that come to the Clara Thomas Archives & Special Collections, our focus is a dual one. Our first priority is to ensure that these materials can be safely and easily accessed. In this case, this means making copies of digital files without altering their contents and documenting what is on each photograph CD, capturing file titles and all the technical metadata that is available embedded in the CD, and creating checksums (used to verify the integrity and uniqueness of individual files). Once we've done this, the process begins to figure out what that content actually is and how to describe it so it can be discoverable to researchers and users (and us) via our descriptive database. During this process, we will want to match images to their corresponding issues of YFile and weed out duplicates.
Q. How long do you envision the project to archive YFile will take?
A. There is now a bi-monthly web crawl of the YFile site that takes several days to complete. This is an ongoing process. The management of the content that has been transferred via CD is a bit more complicated. As with many archival projects, the timeline will depend entirely on the availability of archives staff to do this work. In some ways, the first step, which is to copy and then transfer content from CD to server, will be the most time consuming, as it involves working with one CD at a time on a computer terminal that still has a CD drive, creating a manifest for each CD that documents its contents and creates checksums for each digital file (which will allow us to compare files to identify duplication), and then transfer these copies to a server for temporary storage. Once these digital files are backed up and more easily accessible, the appraisal work begins to determine what needs to be kept, then work to create descriptions of content that can be added to our archival database can begin, followed by transfer of the objects and related metadata to digital preservation platforms. There is no way to say for sure at this point how long this might take, but six months would be an optimistic guess, given our many competing priorities.
Q. Aside from the YFile website, where can University community members access the archived YFile materials?
A. York University Libraries has an instance of OpenWayback available here. For those unfamiliar with OpenWayback, it is the open source version of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. Previous captures of the YFile website can be found here.
Q. Looking back, what should YFile have done with respect to archiving of its newsletters and content? What can University community members learn from the YFile experience?
A. Hindsight is always 20-20 and we all often must do the best we can with the resources available. The first step is always recognizing that something is worth saving and preserving. Once you take that important step, the next necessary step is finding allies to help you do this work. In this case, reaching out to York University Libraries will help to gain those allies and then get access to our resources and knowledge of best practices.
Q. In the last 20 years, the way we store and share information has evolved significantly. What are some methods of archiving that remain important today, and what are some of the methods that we have left behind?
A. This is a large question! I think the principles of archival practice have not changed, but the methodology and timelines for this work have. Archives still are responsible for ensuring the authenticity, preservation and accessibility of records of enduring value, and our methods for doing this work continue to change with the evolution of record formats and the progression from analog to digital. The bigger issue, however, is that people are producing these records at a rate not comparable to any moment in the past. We also don't necessarily think about the digital records we create in the same way. Email replaced the letter, but one could argue that direct messaging and text messaging have replaced email – yet we don't think of preserving our text messages in the way that we think of letters or even email. So, I think that information professionals have a much larger role to play in intervening early in the life of the record, in the lives of potential donors to archives (such as records creators in a university context), to ensure that we identify and then capture and preserve important information objects for future transfer to the archives. The consequences of not doing this will mean that important information either does not survive, or, if it does, it may be lost or hard to discover amidst gigabytes and terabytes of unorganized digital files. Successful archival practices will depend on archivists and records creators working together at an earlier stage in the lifecycle of the record to ensure the survival of important information, which is definitely a change from past practices where the archives would wait for the analog records to become inactive and then our work would start when those records entered our physical custody.
Q. What are the risks associated with not archiving electronic materials properly?
A. There is no such thing as a complete archive of anything, so even under the best circumstances, we never save everything we should or could or have perfect record-keeping practices. However, one of the biggest challenges in preserving digital records is accounting for the real specter of technical obsolescence. Not preserving your digital records properly in a basic sense really means not ensuring that digital files of value continue to be authentic and accessible when the media that houses it, or the software that opens it, or the hard drive that it lives on become obsolete or unworkable. This is already a challenge for archives that have digital records transferred to us that are either difficult or impossible to access because of these issues. One of the main things that digital records creators can do is be aware of the need to safely migrate forward their digital records to new hardware or storage media while it is still in active use, and if you don't have the tools to do this yourself, figure out who can help you. We have yet to really understand what impact the transition from an analog to digital world has had on documentary heritage and the historical record in general.
Q. Looking forward, what should University community members consider for their electronic documents, images and newsletters? How should they contact you and what would you need from them?
A. The York University Common Records Schedule applies to both analog and digital records, so the first thing that York University staff and faculty should do is figure out what their obligations are for corporate recordkeeping by using this as a guide. Another piece of advice is to be proactive with your digital recordkeeping, whether they are records to be kept for the long term or for the short term. Think about what information will help future users of this content understand and use these records. One of the easiest things you can do is be consistent about file naming conventions and file formats that allow discoverability and access to digital content. Don't wait until you're in a recordkeeping crisis to reach out to us – collaborative problem-solving and information sharing is essential to the proper management and stewardship of digital records for long-term preservation. That said, if you don't know what something is and why it's worth keeping, don't assume we will either – we rely on records creators to accurately identify and name digital records to make our work possible.

TV producer's skull crushed in brutal murder before horrified neighbour discovered body
A 39-year-old TV producer was discovered with her skull crushed near her remote cottage in a close-knit rural community of Ireland, in a case that remains unsolved to this day.
Sophie Toscan du Plantier, born in Paris, was found just one day before Christmas Eve 1996 and to this day the mysterious murder case remains unsolved.
Her bludgeoned corpse was discovered by a neighbour who reportedly couldn't stop screaming as she called the police.
Sophie had been dressed in her nightgown which had been tangled in barbed wire. A heavy concrete block covered in blood was found nearby.
Due to the remoteness of rural West Cork, it took the police over five hours to arrive at the scene, meaning her dead body was left outside for at least 12 hours.
Sophie lived in Paris with her husband Daniel Toscan du Plantier, and 13-year-old son, Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud
The forensics team found it hard to find anything substantial to help solve the case as the corpse had been left in the freezing cold and exposed to the elements for over half a day.
Sophie's murder caused a massive investigation across France and Ireland. Both sides desperately wanted answers.
A journalist from Manchester, Ian Bailey, was looking into Sophie's murder and publishing newspaper articles about the case when he became the prime suspect.
He has consistently denied any involvement and has never been charged in the UK for her death.
Sophie's body was left out in the cold for at least 12 hours after her death
A French court found Bailey guilty of murder in May 2019 and he was sentenced to 25 years in prison.
But the high court ruled against him being extradited for the crime.
Bailey moved to Cork from Manchester in 1991 and now says he is « trapped » there due to Ireland's High Court ruling which states he cannot be extradited from the country.
Many investigators believed Bailey was guilty despite there being no forensic evidence linking him to the murder.
A key witness also retracted her testimony after saying the police had coerced her into making it.
Many questions still surround the murder
Bailey was deemed a prime suspect when he was found with cuts on his face and hands, something he claims occurred after plucking a turkey for Christmas.
The journalist also held a record of domestic violence with his Welsh partner, Jules Thomas.
He also admitted leaving his cottage to go to a 'nearby shed' alone to write an article on the night of the murder.
Ian Bailey, who is now a poet, has always claimed innocence
Bailey told The Southern Star that his life has been « absolutely tortured by a false narrative » and is writing to the Garda Síochána Commissioner (head of the national police force of the Republic of Ireland) to reinvestigate the case.
He added: « This has ruined my life, it has completely tortured me, it has tortured Jules [his ex-partner] and it led to the breakdown of our relationship. »
Sophie Toscan du Plantier was born in Paris on July 28, 1957. She was staying at her holiday home in Cork, Ireland when she was brutally murdered.
She frequented Ireland from her home in Paris where she lived with her husband Daniel Toscan du Plantier, French film producer, and 13-year-old son, Pierre Louis Baudey-Vignaud.
Ian Bailey has called the upcoming Netflix documentary on the case « poisonous propaganda ».
(Image: AFP via Getty Images)
A documentary on the mysterious case is currently available on Sky and a Netflix doc is due to air on June 30th.
Ian Bailey has called the upcoming Netflix doc a « piece of biased, inimical, poisonous propaganda ».
He added: « It is based entirely on a false narrative, the same false narrative which was used to convict me in my absence in France, linking me to a crime that I had nothing to do with and it will most assuredly demonise me. »

Australian Fear Factory fans ripped off once again
Guys, seriously… why are you doing this to us?
After cancelling headlining shows in Australia originally scheduled for August 2009, the new Fear Factory line up (Burton C Bell, Dino Cazares, Byron Stroud and Gene Hoglan) have announced that they're playing the Big Day Out festivals across Australia and New Zealand in early 2010.
I am not paying through the nose (and believe me, everything to do with the Big Day Out is expensive) to go to a shitty hipster music festival when the only two heavy bands on the bill are Fear Factory and Mastodon. Hell, I'm not even a Mastodon fan.
Fear Factory have also announced sideshows – in Sydney and Melbourne. But not Perth, of course, even though the festival tickets are already sold out everywhere except Auckland.
The last time they played the BDO was 2004, and that was the year when I boycotted because Metallica was headlining. I have enough emotional issues with Metallica to keep a therapist amused for months, so I'm not going to go into any of that now. But that was really the beginning of the end of the BDO for Dave and I – the amount of heavy bands has dramatically decreased every year to the point where it's just not worth going anymore. And we used to really look forward to it. At least now we have Soundwave.
So cmon Fear Factory, how about a headline tour that your actual fans will get to see, instead of just a bunch of annoying indy kids that don't give a shit about you anyway?

Intelligence alerts point to malware attack and snooping of data on Railways
Meanwhile, Railways Board Chairman V K Yadav said that the national transporter keeps updating its firewalls to prevent data theft.
news Malware Saturday, June 20, 2020 - 11:10
At a time when the country is yet to recover from the shock of losing 20 Indian soldiers in a violent clash with the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) troops in Ladakh's Galwan Valley, another shocker has come to light with news coming of a malware hitting the Indian Railways network and snooping its data for foreign countries, including train movements, sources in the intelligence agencies said on Friday.
Meanwhile, Railways Board Chairman V K Yadav said that the national transporter keeps on receiving malware security threats and the engineers in the railways keep on taking all precautions and keeps on updating the firewalls to prevent data theft.
The news comes a day after the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation Limited (DFCCIL) decided to terminate the 417-km signalling project worth Rs 471 crore with Chinese firm Beijing National Railway Research and Design Institute of Signal and Communication Group Company Limited (BNRRDISC) due to non-performance.
According to intelligence agency sources, the system of the Railways has been hit by the APT 36 Malware campaign. The source said that the intel agencies have also alerted the Railway Board to instantly disconnect the system with the Internet and change the password immediately.
The source said the APT 36 Malware is connected to Pakistan, which is a close ally of China. The source further said that following the red flag from the intel agencies, the system of a senior Principal Executive Director of the Railways, working in its vigilance department, has been taken for cleaning the malware threat.
As per the source, through the APT 36 Malware campaign, data stored in the Indian Railways systems were being stolen and stored in foreign locations, including the movement of the trains.
He further claimed that the APT 36 Malware also tried to take defence movement data.
The source said the APT 36 Malware effect was reported from at least four systems of the Indian Railways.
Responding to queries, the Railways Board Chairman said: "Whether it is our systems or the IRCTC, we continuously update it with firewalls, and it is an ongoing process as we get the updates."
Yadav said that our system is updated time to time. "We get malware threat on a regular basis. And we look at it continuously," he said.
When pressed further about the malware threat in four railways systems, he said: "It has not come to our notice that some information has been leaked. Our systems are secure and our engineers keep on working on it."
According to intel sources, besides Railways, there was also malware threat in the defence, central police organisations, education and healthcare sectors, the source said.
In view of the threat, the intel agencies have asked the departments concerned to change the passwords of emails and online services from secure computers, format the hard-disk of the affected computers after taking back-up and re-install the operating systems and other softwares.
Sources in the Railways had said on Thursday that DFFCIL, which is looking after the work of the Dedicated Freight Corridor Project, has decided to terminate the tender with BNRRDISC.
A source in the Railway Ministry said that it has informed the Railway Board and the World Bank to take the final decision in the matter.
The source said the project was awarded to the Chinese firm in 2016 for signalling and telecommunication work on the 417-km Kanpur-Deen Dayal Upadhyaya section of the Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor (EDFC).
The source disclosed that the contract was awarded to the Beijing National Railway Research and Design Institute in June 2016. The source further said that even after four years, the progress in the project was only 20%. The issues that led to the termination of the project are reluctance by the company to furnish technical documents, as per the contract agreement, such as logic design of electronic interlocking.
The source further said that other issues like non-availability of their engineers and authorised personnel on site were a serious constraint. Even physical work could not progress as they have no tie-up with local agencies.
The 3,373-km DFC, a flagship project of the Railways, aims to augment rail transport capacity to meet the growing requirement of movement of goods by segregating freight from passenger traffic.

What to Expect from the First Presidential Debate and Why You Have to Watch
Charlotte Grayson
Tonight is the biggest night in television so far this election cycle. The first presidential debate between the nominated candidates of the two major parties starts tonight at 6 p.m., and if you're eligible to vote (or even if you aren't yet) you should tune in. This debate is especially important for those of you who may still be undecided on who to vote for. The debate will show those undecided voters where candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump stand on various issues in a focused, simple, question and answer format. There will be no teleprompters, no grandstanding, no surrogates, no changing the subject, no insulting the opponent (though that last one might be wishful thinking). If you've already made up your mind about who to vote for, the debate will help cement why you want your chosen candidate to become president. Here's what to expect during tonight's debate and why it's so important for you to watch it.
The rules for the debates were negotiated by representatives from both campaigns months ago. Tonight's debate starts at 6 p.m. and will be ninety minutes long, divided into 15 minute sections by topic. Each candidate will have two minutes to answer the questions and then the other candidate will have time to respond. It's important to note that there will be no commercial breaks, so if you want snacks, make sure to get them before the debate starts. The debate will be broadcast live from Hofstra University in New York.
Both candidates have taken time off the campaign trail recently to prepare for the debate, knowing that with so many people watching, this debate has the potential to greatly impact support for their campaign. The New York Times reports that tonight's debate could draw an audience of up to 100 million viewers. For context, the record audience for a presidential debate is the 80 million viewers who tuned in to watch President Jimmy Carter debate his eventual successor Ronald Reagan in 1980. The first debate of the last election cycle was watched by 67 million people.
Last Friday, The Washington Post reported that Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Jill Stein had not earned the requisite 15 percent in national polls needed to be allowed to participate in the debate. So tonight will be a one-on-one showdown between Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump.
The last Democratic debate was April 14, and the last Republican debate was on March 10. It's been months since either candidate has set foot on a debate stage, and they've never been onstage together. Hillary Clinton does have an advantage here, since many of the Democratic debates only included her and Senator Bernie Sanders. Whereas Donald Trump spent the primary season debating up to sixteen other candidates, and refused to participate in the last debate, which would only include himself and Governor John Kasich.
Politico reports that the topics for the first debate are "America's Direction," "Achieving Prosperity" and "Securing America." However, the topics are subject to change based on recent news, so don't be surprised if there are questions about the police shooting in Tulsa, the police shooting and protests in Charlotte, and the mall shooting in Washington. The moderator, Lester Holt, will have to make sure that the candidates stay focused on the specific policy questions, rather than insulting their opponent as they often do on the campaign trail. Expect both candidates to do just that.
Also, be prepared to follow along with your favorite news organization while they fact-check each of the candidates' claims as they make them. A lot of them will be false or exaggerated, but thanks to organizations like Politico, networks like CNN, and newspapers like The Washington Post, you'll know who's telling the truth right away. Most of these organizations will be live-tweeting their fact-checking and commentary, so keep your phone close by and your Twitter app open.
Watching this debate will be especially important, since political strategists from multiple news organizations, including CNN and MSNBC, have speculated that this will be the only debate. That is despite the candidates agreeing to participate in a total of three debates, with on vice presidential debate in the first week of October. These commentators predict that no matter how this debate goes, Donald Trump might refuse to show up to the next two debates. If he does well, he will want to quit while he is ahead; and if he doesn't do well he will not want to humiliate himself further (though history shows that he'll blame the moderator with a series of angry tweets about being treated unfairly).
So hopefully you're now really excited to watch the debate later. And while you're waiting? Make sure that you are registered to vote! If you are, excellent! If you aren't yet, you can register right now, here. It will only take a few minutes, and I've already done the incredibly challenging work of googling "register to vote online" to get the link for you, so you're practically half way finished already. You're welcome.
I hope you will all have the time to watch tonight's debate, I hope it helps you see each candidate's positions more clearly, and I hope that even people who don't love politics as much as I do look forward to watching tonight's debate and realize the importance of your involvement in the political process.

Apple and Random House: New Partners
Show us a publisher that is clinging to a traditional business model, and we'll show you one that is embracing the future.
Consider the newspaper industry, for instance. The Christian Science Monitor, a global paper that first emerged in 1908 (when the cursed Chicago Cubs last won baseball's World Series), recently abandoned its daily subscription edition and adopted a continuous 24/7 cycle of free online postings. On the other hand, Rupert Murdoch's The Daily continues to cling to a daily delivery, subscription based business model, even though its deliveries are made electronically via Apple iPads.
Likewise, consider the magazine industry. The venerable Time continues to promote its glossy national news weekly as its flagship publication. But its traditional rival Newsweek is about to be relaunched as a companion product for the web-only The Daily Beast, and The Atlantic (which was created in Boston in 1857 as a literary journal) has been reborn as a Washington-based home of political bloggers.
And what of the book industry? Until this past week, five of the "big six" book publishers had embraced Apple's new business model for e-book sales via its iPad tablet. But Random House, the largest book publisher of them all, valiantly refused to sign on to Apple's new business model …
… until Steve Jobs prepared to take the stage to introduce the snazzy new iPad 2.
Wholesalers and Retailers
Traditional retailers such as Barnes & Noble and Borders usually purchase their merchandise from publishers at wholesale prices and then mark up (or discount) their customer retail prices to whatever the market will bear. This model tends to serves both entities well; after all, publishers can restart their printing presses whenever new orders arrive from retailers, and can generally rely on wholesale revenues to cover their operating costs. And retailers can respond to variations in market demand by modifying their retail prices, thus maintaining some control over their own revenue streams.
Apple, however, insisted on a new business model for e-books when it introduced its iPad last year. Instead of paying publishers for distribution rights up front and then managing the retail prices that are charged to retail customers, Apple negotiated retail prices with publishers up front and then agreed to share customer revenues on a 30 / 70 basis. In other words, Apple abandoned the retailer's traditional right to discount book merchandise, while avoiding the concomitant cash flow burden of paying wholesale prices up front to acquire products for resale.
Most publishers, lusting after the promise of future profits from e-book sales on Apple iPads, simply fell into line and acquiesced to Steve Jobs' demands. But Random House initially refused to do so; it insisted on withholding its e-books from the iPad retail platform. This past Thursday, though, Random House finally lost its nerve.
Agents and Partners
Steve Jobs made Random House's commitment about the iPad a key part of his splashy introductory public demonstration of the iPad2. Many believe that Apple was feeling pressure to make the iPad 2 as attractive as possible, given the flood of competitor products that are now challenging the iPad for supremacy in the tablet market. Thus, Apple arguably needed Random House as much as the publisher needed the technology firm.
It wasn't clear, however, who would blink first in the weeks leading up to the iPad 2 announcement: Random House, the only holdout publisher from the iPad platform because of its dissatisfaction with Apple's 30 / 70 business model, or Apple, a vendor that was competing with the Amazon Kindle and other e-book readers. Apple was arguably in a difficult position, not being able to offer readers the written works of President Barack Obama, John Grisham, and other famous authors publishing under the Random House umbrella.
Ultimately, it was Random House who blinked first; it simply agreed to accept Apple's standard contract terms. The industry is now referring to those terms as an "agent model" because Apple has become a sales agent of the publishing houses, compensated on a commission basis. In other words, Apple has forced its content producers to accept it as a junior partner on all book sales.
Back From The Dead?
Interestingly, as new book publishers and online retailers settle their differences and adapt to the emerging environment of e-books, some tiny independent booksellers – written off as relics of a bygone age just a few years ago – are learning to survive by trading used books, staging community events, and selling ancillary merchandise. Apparently, the challenges faced by traditional book stores like Borders and Barnes & Noble are creating market space for small and nimble competitors to establish their own strategic niches.
As long as reading remains a hobby, a pastime, and an avocation for millions of American bibliophiles, there will always be publishers and retailers to serve them. Nevertheless, with the rise of the agency model, the distinction between the producers and the purveyors of written material will likely continue to blur.

So I have yet to do so, but this weekend I plan on going through all my diamond quilt projection maps and re-categorizing them by rotation (0 & 45 degrees). I have yet to make any quilts that are wholly asymmetric. I have thought about making one or two, but for some reason I just don't like the way they look. I guess it's a sense of balance I am after and when I have one seam going horizontally across the page and add another seam that is 25 degrees rotated, it just looks awkward. I'd rather have clouds, than an asymmetric map.
As for this map, the seam makes an interesting reflection on the Pennsylvania Convention Center. What I also discovered last night, and is something I look forward to doing some more research on, is how there is a secondary texture that is being created in these maps.
When an aerial photograph or satellite image is taken there is usually some degree of distortion embedded into the orthorectified (defined as correcting distortions in an aerial image to produce a more accurate depiction of surface features) photograph. This distortion is usually caused by the angle at which the photograph was taken (directly above- nadir or at an angle- oblique). Thus if you take a photograph overhead at nadir (0 distortion at the center), then the buildings at the center will only show their tops, and the buildings at the edge will show their sides due to the angle of viewing. The interesting thing I discovered was the way the angles change with the seams. If you look closely at the details below, this angle creates an embedded texture of rotating the angle in which the buildings show. Essentially, its oblique alterations in the fabric of the quilt, and I think they make the tessellations even more intricate.

Kanye West Is Giving Kim Kardashian Next-Door Home in Divorce Settlement, Court Docs Reveal
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Karwai Tang/Getty; Kevin Mazur/Getty Kim Kardashian and Kanye West
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will still be neighbors after their divorce.
Court documents obtained by PEOPLE show that in the settlement, Kardashian, 42, will receive four homes in Hidden Hills, California, one of which is next door to an estate that West, 45, was awarded in the split.
The Kardashians star will also get a home in Riverside, California, as well as three in Idaho, and one in Malibu, California.
RELATED: Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Relationship Timeline
Along with the Hidden Hills home next to his ex-wife, West will be awarded three homes in Calabasas, California, one in Malibu, and another in Thousand Oaks, California. The "Stronger" rapper was also awarded two homes in Wyoming, one in Belgium, and another in his hometown of Chicago.
According to the divorce documents, the former couple will have joint physical and legal custody of their four children: North, 9, Saint, 6, Chicago, 4, and Psalm, 3.
The Grammy winner will be required to pay Kardashian $200,000 a month in child support. He will also be responsible for half of the children's medical, educational, and security expenses.
RELATED: Kim Kardashian Says Kanye West's Social Media Posts 'Created Emotional Distress' in New Filing
Both Kardashian and West waived spousal support.
The pair also agreed to settle disputes regarding the children by participating in mediation. However, if either party fails to take part, the other is allowed to make the decision in a dispute by default.
The couple's assets, including their property, will be divided based upon their prenup.
RELATED VIDEO: Kim Kardashian Says She's 'Exhausted' by Kanye West's Claims About Being 'Allowed' to See Kids
Kardashian filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. Months later, in December, she requested to be declared legally single. She also asked to separate issues of child custody and property from her marital status and to have her maiden name restored.
In court documents filed in February, Kardashian said, "I very much desire to be divorced. I have asked Kanye to keep our divorce private, but he has not done so. Kanye has been putting a lot of misinformation regarding our private family matters and co-parenting on social media which has created emotional distress. I believe that the court terminating our marital status will help Kanye to accept that our marital relationship is over and to move forward on a better path which will assist us in peacefully co-parenting our children."
Kardashian added, "While I wish our marriage would have succeeded, I have come to the realization that there is no way to repair our marriage. Kanye does not agree but at least it appears that he has come to the realization that I want to end our marriage, even if he does not. I ask that the Court restore me to the status of a single person so that I can begin the healing process and so that our family can begin the healing process and move forward in this new chapter in our lives."

Smithsonian Folklife Festival records: 1971 Festival of American Folklife
1971 Festival of American Folklife Program Book
July 1-5, 1971
This collection documents the planning, production, and execution of the 1971 Festival of American Folklife. Materials may include photographs, audio recordings, motion picture film and video recordings, notes, production drawings, contracts, memoranda, correspondence, informational materials, publications, and ephemera. Such materials were created during the Festival on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., as well as in the featured communities, before or after the Festival itself.
Series 2: Northwest Coast Indians
Series 3: Ohio
Series 4: Performances
Series 5: Union Workers
The 1971 Festival of American Folklife was produced by the Smithsonian Division of Performing Arts.
The Festival of American Folklife, since its initiation in 1967, sought to present varied folk traditions representing a broad spectrum of our nation's cultural groups. It was the Smithsonian's hope and belief that the 1971 Festival would deepen and advance public appreciation of the richness and viability of American grass-roots creativity.
The 1971 Festival featured the State of Ohio, Pacific Northwest Coast Indians and Alaskan Eskimos, and the American worker as a part of organized labor. It took place for five days on the National Mall, between Madison Drive and Jefferson Drive and between 10th Street and 14th Street, south of the National Museum of History and Technology and the National Museum of Natural History (see site plan).
Evening programs took place in two locations: Indian Pow Wows were held in the Indian Area at 13th Street opposite the National Museum of History and Technology nightly except July 4th when a powwow was held on the Washington Monument Grounds. Evening concerts took place on the Main Stage located in front of the National Museum of Natural History. The Main Stage also hosted its own performers and others drawn from one of the Festival's three other programs; the resulting recordings constitute a separate subseries below.
The 1971 Festival was once again produced by the Division of Performing Arts, where James R. Morris was Director and Richard Lusher was Deputy Director. Ralph Rinzler continued as Festival Director, with Gerald L. Davis as Assistant Director and Kenneth S. Goldstein as Special Assistant to the Secretary on Folklore and Folklife.
The 1971 Program Book included information on all of the programs, a participant list, and schedule.

New Greenwich events venue Magazine is announced for autumn 2019
Greenwich Peninsula might be home to the world's most successful entertainment venue ...
By Florence Derrick
Greenwich Peninsula might be home to the world's most successful entertainment venue – The O2 – and is a short cable car ride from the vast expanses of the Excel centre in Royal Docks.
But a fresh arrival thinks it's found a niche.
Magazine – a multipurpose, 3,000-capacity cultural space is set to open in September 2019 on the Thames, a 10-minute walk from North Greenwich Tube station.
"If you're an up and coming band, you'll need to perform in a venue the size of Magazine before you can play somewhere like The O2," said Simon Tracey, CEO of Vibration Group, the company behind the plans.
"If you're a tech company you need to exhibit somewhere like Magazine before you grow big enough for the Excel.
"We've got the opportunity to create a tailor-made space that's perfect for events organisers, from the ground up – which is quite rare."
Construction work on the building is scheduled to begin in January 2019 and will see four main spaces created.
With these, Vibration Group aims to cater to all types of events and their requirements including concerts, conferences, exhibitions, product launches, parties, awards ceremonies and dinners.
The company has some experience in the field as it already operates mammoth music venue Printworks in Canada Water and City events space Landing Forty Two.
"We've tried to maximise the ground space to use as little of it as efficiently as possible, to allow for the Showground – a 7,000-capacity outdoor area, perfect for a stage, a mini festival or car shows," said Simon.
"Then we have a the Pylon site outside by the entrance, which would be perfect for smaller events and street food trucks.
"In the building itself, which is in an L shape, the ceilings are eight metres high throughout, which is ideal for conferences.
"There are two main spaces – a reception for smaller exhibitions, with views of Canary Wharf.
"Then the big conference room is accessed by going under a mezzanine floor which is to be used for catering and breakout sessions.
"There are no windows in there and it has a capacity of 3,000 standing or 1,500 seated – great for awards shows."
For Simon, the fact the building will be purpose-built gives it the edge over its fellow mid-size competitors – namely hotel conference rooms in the surrounding areas.
"We'll compete against some of the big hotels but we offer exclusivity, which brands like," he said.
"And as we built it from the ground up, it's got the right power and sound controls – double layered walls and insulation.
"If you inherit a building, often the biggest problem is sound proofing and that it's not designed with events in mind.
"You have Printworks and Tobacco Dock nearby which are great, but still are limited by the buildings themselves.
"Magazine has been designed to be as flexible as possible.
"It gives you anything you'd want out of Olympia or Excel but is much more aimed towards entry into the market, as opposed to massive exhibition spaces.
"It's also costed to make it as easy as possible to trade with smaller companies."
Magazine's location – overlooking the Canary Wharf estate – provides proximity to the firms based there and in the surrounding area.
"We were attracted to the Peninsula as there's more and more development in that part of London," said Simon.
"We're working with international property and investment company Knight Dragon and over the next 20 years they're building lots of homes and creating a new neighbourhood there.
"Plus it's got ever-evolving transport links – the Emirates Air Line and the Jubilee line."
In terms of design, Simon called it a "real blank canvas".
"It'll have polished concrete floors throughout – a bit urban and industiral – but it will be wood-lined so will feel comfortable too," he said.
"It's basically a high-spec warehouse space."
Since the plans were announced, Vibration Group said is had been inundated with requests by companies keen to book the space.
"We launched a corporate Christmas package and we've got some really good interest already for corporate shows," Simon said.
"It's been really positive with such a quick uptake.
"It definitely feels like it's the right location, right size, right place."

Bond No. 9 TriBeCa
DIOR HOMME: SCENT OF A MANFL/2018, A.N. Other Fragrance by Natalie Benareau of SymriseShalini's Amorem Rose x The Pierre Hotel
Introducing TriBeCa: Downtown New York's most exciting creative center rendered in olfactive form from Bond No. 9.
TriBeCa is having a moment. Meet the chic new fragrance that tells its story.
Whether you're soaking up a reading at Poet's House or a martini at The Odeon, there's no question that the "Triangle Below Canal Street," with its cobblestone streets, winsome alleys, and New York City's coolest restaurants and boutiques, brings the charm. Today, the area is experiencing a modern renaissance as it's being hailed as the city's next major creative center. Almost devastated after 9/11, the area has flourished thanks to endeavors such as the TriBeCa Film Festival, and more recently, the TriBeCa Gallery Walk, making the downtown neighborhood both a local and global destination. Celebrities and families alike call TriBeCa home, and numerous galleries are migrating to its streets during a return to the area's '70s-era artistic roots. "TriBeCa is being touted as the next big creative neighborhood of New York City. That's what we're interested in capturing," says Bond No. 9 founder and president Laurice Rahmé. "It's going through a true revolution."
Architecture plays an important role on its streets, from its history of modernizing shipping warehouses and Art Deco buildings to creating internationally known landmarks such as One World Trade and the residential 56 Leonard Street, affectionately referred to as the "Jenga" building to residents. The area's vast, inspiring spaces have long attracted artists of every level.
To construct a scent as unique as TriBeCa, Bond looked to Michel Almairac, the legendary nose behind a number of the house's blockbuster fragrances, such as Lafayette Street, Madison Avenue and Gold Coast. "The style is a sexy, unisex, floriental, and it's sophisticated and young, much like the residents of TriBeCa," says Rahmé. The top notes have an irresistible gourmand appeal made of cacao and green hazelnut—cool and hip and somewhat reminiscent of the area's many gourmet coffee houses—centered with the sultry and luxurious jasmine sambac from the South of France—another nod to the area's global makeup—paired with a touch of grounding cedarwood. "It's not quiet, and has a lot of character!" notes Rahmé. Ambroxan, moss, and creamy caramel round out as bottom notes, making for a scent that lives and breathes on the skin in warm, earthy tones.
THE PACKAGING
Call it an objet d'art: TriBeCa is housed in a sleek white, croc-embossed print that looks and feels as soft as leather to the touch, and includes iconic Bond No. 9 gold lettering. The result is a sublime, chic rendering of one of New York's most sophisticated areas in bottled-form.
For Mother's Day, Bond No. 9 will release a limited-edition, 100 ml bottle encrusted with 218 Swarovski sunflower and white crystal stones tracing the outlines of the iconic Bond No. 9 token, and sheathed in a box that features 486 Swarovski crystal stones.
Responsible packaging is a pillar of Bond No. 9, and the company offers consumers the option to choose without having to compromise on luxury. "The package-free initiative reflects our long-term efforts to build a beautiful and responsible brand and a beautiful city," says Rahmé.
Bond No. 9's iconic Silhouette Bottle is 100% recyclable and uses 50% recycled cullet during the manufacturing process.
TriBeCa may be purchased in traditional packaging or package-free.
TriBeCa arrives on counter April 15th 2020 and will be sold at Bond No. 9 New York Boutiques, Saks Fifth Avenue nationwide, select Bloomingdales stores, Harrods UK, Selfridges UK and www.bondno9.com
Eau de parfum, 100 ml, $405
TriBeCa Swarovski arrives on counter May 2020 for Mother's Day

In total, 706 drug-related deaths were registered in Scotland in 2015, according to statistics published today by the National Records of Scotland in 'Drug-related Deaths in Scotland in 2015'. This was the largest number ever recorded, 93 (15 per cent) more than in 2014, and more than double the figure for 2005 (which was 336).
The statistics also show that:
Males accounted for 69 per cent of the drug-related deaths in 2015.
In 2015, there were 249 drug-related deaths of people aged 35-44 (35 per cent of all drug-related deaths), 183 deaths of 45-54 year olds (26 per cent) and 163 drug-related deaths in the 25-34 age-group (23 per cent).
The NHS Board areas which accounted for most of the 706 drug-related deaths in 2015 were:
Greater Glasgow & Clyde – 221 (31 per cent);
Lothian – 100 (14 per cent);
Lanarkshire – 73 (10 per cent);
Grampian – 69 (10 per cent); and
Tayside – 63 (9 per cent).
Using the annual averages for 2011-2015, to reduce the effect on the figures of year-to-year fluctuations:
For Scotland as a whole, the average of 602 drug-related deaths per year represented a death rate of 0.11 per 1,000 population;
The NHS Board area with the highest rate was Greater Glasgow & Clyde (0.16);
The next highest rate was for Tayside (0.12)
Comparing the annual averages for 2011-2015 with those for 2001-2005:
The percentage increase was greater for females (153 per cent) than males (56 per cent);
The largest increase in numbers was for 35-44 year olds, the next largest was for people aged 45-54, and there was a fall in the number of drug-related deaths of people aged under 25;
The NHS Board areas with the largest increases in the numbers of drug-related deaths were Greater Glasgow & Clyde (up by 56), Lothian (up by 47), Lanarkshire (up by 33) and Tayside (up by 30).
Of the 706 drug-related deaths in 2015:
Heroin and/or morphine were implicated in, or potentially contributed to, the cause of 345 deaths (49 per cent of the total) – more than in any previous year;
Methadone was implicated in, or potentially contributed to, 251 deaths (36 per cent) – fewer than its peak (275 in 2011), but more than in any of the previous three years;
One or more opiates or opioids (including heroin/morphine and methadone) were implicated in, or potentially contributed to, 606 deaths (86 per cent) – higher than in any previous year;
The number for benzodiazepines (for example diazepam) rose to 191 deaths – around the level seen in 2011 and 2012 (185 and 196, respectively)
The corresponding numbers for some other substances were: cocaine – 93 deaths; ecstasy-type drugs – 15 deaths; amphetamines – 17 deaths; alcohol – 107 deaths.
The percentages add up to more than 100 because more than one drug was implicated in, or contributed to, many deaths.
Annex E of the publication provides information about deaths which involved so-called New Psychoactive Substances (NPSs), including their definition for the purposes of these figures. On that basis, in 2015:
There were 74 deaths in which NPSs were implicated, or potentially contributed to, the cause of death – but just three of them were believed to have been caused by NPSs alone;
Almost all (72) of those deaths are included in the 706 drug-related deaths referred to earlier (either because the person had also taken a controlled substance or because the NPS itself was one);
In 57 of the 74 deaths, the only NPSs present were benzodiazepines (usually etizolam, but sometimes something else, such as diclazepam or phenazepam);
There were also 38 deaths for which NPSs were present but were not considered to have contributed to the death. Almost all of them (36) are included in the 706 drug-related deaths referred to earlier. In most cases (30 out of 38) benzodiazepines were the only NPSs present.

Two DCU students receive Intel's Women in Technology Scholarship
December 2, 2015 DCU News
Two DCU students were among the 17 women who were awarded scholarships for their achievements in technology at a ceremony on November 18th.
Zenouska Murphy and Catrina Carrigan will each receive €2,000 per year for their studies, a work placement in Intel's Leixlip plant and a mentor throughout their academic career.
"I think the main thing that helped me stand out was talking enthusiastically about my course and mentoring at CoderDojo," said Catrina Carrigan, who studies Computer Applications.
"Having the summer work experience combined with my intra placement will mean I graduate with a year's worth of work experience. I think seeing the industry from early on in my degree will help me decide the career path I want and let me gain more experience," she said.
The 17 young recipients join a programme that has seen €160,000 invested in the past three years and which aims to encourage women to start careers in science and technology.
"At Intel we are very passionate about workforce diversity, particularly gender diversity, because we fundamentally believe, and it is proven, that our business benefits from having diverse employees," said Intel's Fab 24 factory manager, Ann-Marie Holmes.
"Women are under-represented in the technology workplace and this programme creates an important opportunity for us to encourage more young women to pursue careers in science and technology, as well as giving them first-hand experience of the career opportunities at Intel," said Holmes.
Each of the recipients is studying a science, engineering or technology course in universities across Ireland. The scholarships are awarded based on the student's Leaving Certificate results, a personal statement and an interview process on the Leixlip campus.

Siasia Begs Nigerian Government To Help Rescue His Kidnapped Mother

Former Nigeria player Samson Siasia has appealed to the Nigeria government to help rescue his abducted mother from the den of kidnappers.
It was reported that Siasia's mother Mrs Ogere Siasia, 76, and two others were taken into captivity about ten weeks ago and every effort to rescue them have proved abortive.
Siasia has now revealed that the Nigerian Police Force says they are no closer to finding the victims.
"The police said it's been difficult to track these kidnappers, but my great concern is that my mother is very sick," he told footballlive.ng.
"For someone who is unwell to be held against her will is not only callous, but heartbreaking and sad.
"So I can only keep appealing to these guys to please let my mother go. I would like for the government or whoever is capable to help me bring my mother back."
The embattled former Super Eagles Coach, who was recently banned for life by FIFA for match fixing allegations, said he is devastated by the issue and has called on Nigerian government to come to his aid.
"What more can I do but plead for assistance from the government, police and my country that I served as a player and coach," he said.
"My mother is seriously sick and this bothers me a lot. I don't know where or who to turn to at this point.
"I've not had a job for three years, battling with a Fifa ban appeal and to have my sick mother in the hands of kidnappers, I just feel extremely tired."
It's the second time in four years that Mrs Siasia has been kidnapped after she was held by gunmen for 12 days, before her release back in November 2015 .
