Sexual harassment retaliation includes any adverse action an employer takes against you for complaining of sexual harassment. Learn more about your rights by calling our Las Vegas sexual harassment attorney for a free consultation.
You're being subjected to sexual harassment at work. You have an employee manual. You follow the steps. You report it up the chain of command. Then your employer starts to retaliate against you. What do you do? Whether it's your supervisor or someone else at the company is starting to retaliate against you because you made a legitimate complaint, what do you do?
Is there someone higher up that you can go to and put on notice of that? If not, or you believe that it would be completely ineffectual and that it would subject you to even more harassment, what you need to do is to contact an attorney. At that point, when your company is not stepping up and doing what they are supposed to do under the law, you need to get appropriate legal advice. Call an attorney. Get the legal advice. Do what you need to do to protect yourself in the workplace.

Philadelphia University Fashion Show Honors Obey's Mike Ternosky and Students
The 2016 showcase featured some 250 looks, including designs by two seniors who showed at New York Fashion Week.

Obey Clothing head designer Mike Ternosky was on hand Thursday night at Moulin at Sherman Mills, a converted Civil War-era textile mill, where he received the 2016 Spirit of Design Award at Philadelphia University's annual Fashion Show.
University president Stephen Spinelli Jr. presented Ternosky, a 2000 alum, with the award, lauding his achievements in building the Obey Clothing streetwear line, which is based on the work of Shepard Fairey, the artist best known for his "Hope" poster of President Obama. Previous winners of the Spirit of Design award, first given to Geoffrey Beene in 2002, include Tommy Hilfiger, Nicole Miller, John Varvatos and "Project Runway" season one winner Jay McCarroll, who was in the audience, looking very pilgrim-esque in a wide-brimmed hat.
In his acceptance speech, Ternosky humbly expressed his appreciation, then moved onto words of inspiration for the burgeoning designers. "This is the epicenter of something great that's about to happen," he told the graduating class. "We're at a really pivotal point in the fashion history where there are no longer rules. Rules in fashion are meant to be broken — and today's the day they're meant to be broken by people like you. So to you changers of the fashion world, I say don't be average. Be unique. And that begins right here on the stage, right now."
As if on cue, the fashion and textile design students' creations began making their way down the runway. They included two collections by seniors shown at New York Fashion Week last February, as part of Emerging Designers Collective runway show: Cassie O'Toole's ethereal pieces, inspired by "The Great Wave" woodblock print, and Sierra Rocco's minimalist denim and print collection, which also won the Carson Kressley Most Ready for Retail award. Other standouts include Brittany DeColli's gender-bending separates infusing plastic overlays with primary-colored rompers and harem pants, and Best of Show winner Huyen Doan's "Floating World," a study-in-blue collection of patchwork puffer bomber jackets and dresses.
More than 20 red gowns created for the American Heart Association's Go Red for Women campaign were also shown, with a red shantung peplum dress adorned with tassels being a highlight. And in a nod to the evening's honoree, the university offered the new Mike Ternosky Obey award for Most Creative Collection. Cassie O'Toole also won this one, for another multi-colored, shredded-textile collection inspired by blown glass.
As he did last year, TV fashion authority Carson Kressley, a member of Philadelphia University's board of trustees, kicked off the show to the audience of 1,800 — a mix of industry insiders and up-and-coming designers. "I've had the opportunity to interact with the students, who are just so talented and dedicated, it's thrilling. Plus, it's a great place to poach talent and find people to work for me," said the cheeky style pundit. As he left the stage, Kressley urged the crowd to "be really loud during the show, they love the applause. It makes the models smile, which is a real feat," he quipped.

The MINDSPA is what I call a light skip across some very deep concepts. What it's really about is revitalising our minds to access more of our inner beauty and inner wisdom.
We are all familiar with the terms associated with going to the spa..but how many of us actually relate this to our minds directly. Exfoliating and repairing and renewing our minds can be just as beneficial as our skin. I know that our beliefs and perceptions will age us way faster than any outside influence. We are that powerful.
Give yourself a day to come along and find out how the Mindspa is an essential component to your well being.
We are running these workshops one after the other so you can make yourself a real priority this weekend. Spend one day on you and then one day on your relationships.
The ART & SCIENCE OF BEING YOU is teaching you the science of transformation that you can apply to any challenge that you may have. This is an incredibly interesting course that delves deeper into the energy of the universe, and perhaps more importantly teaches you how to apply this knowledge to a current situation in your everyday life, and ultimately to the relationships that you would love.
Give yourself a day to clear some baggage and be inspired by your own magnificence.

I know there is a serious reason for the Easter holiday, but for the sake of this post I am just going to focus on the cute, bunny side of Easter business starting with the first of my Lush Easter goodies – the Golden Egg ($8.95)! This little "oeuf d'or" smells just like the Lush cult classic soap "Honey, I Washed the Kids" which is a honey-toffee fragrance good enough to eat!
The glitter gets EVERYWHERE so that's why I'm holding it the way that I am. I'm getting one last look at it before I let this sparkling beauty take the plunge!
This is a Bath Bomb Melt in that it sinks at first as the outside of the Golden Egg is cocoa butter, but then it bounces back to the surface to reveal its bath fizzy centre!
It looks like I have helped "birth" a bath fizzy!
I couldn't tell until I got into the tub, but the water had golden sparkles in it!
Final Verdict: This smelled so good. If the scent of honey and toffee isn't enough to relax you, I don't know what will. I emerged from my bath with delicately scented skin that had golden glitter on it and the cocoa butter left my skin feeling moisturized. I just patted myself dry and I was ready for a night of MORE relaxation! This is a wonderful treat for anyone and I HIGHLY recommend picking up the Golden Egg before it disappears from Lush shelves!
PR sample sent for review. Opinions and bathtub are my own.


Netflix bingers don't know how good they have it. Unlike their sports-watching peers, they can access a mind-numbing amount of drama, documentary or film – however they want, whenever they want. But thanks to the rapidly changing sports landscape – which is taking full advantage of streaming technology and a plethora of social platforms to broadcast content on – modern sports fans now have more choice than ever when it comes to getting their regular fix of sports entertainment. And it's around the clock, too. For brands, this is a burgeoning chance to make a significant impact on target audiences.
So rather than being slaves to a rights-holder's broadcast of a game and merely getting a few hours of sporting content at a time, fans are now demanding match-related content before and after the live event – allowing them to immerse themselves further and fuel their passion.
For James Kirkham, chief strategy officer of Bigballs Media and head of football fan culture platform Copa90, reaching your audience in a credible way during this downtime between live games is harder than it might seem. It's not just a case of blindly throwing out videos on Facebook. The brands that succeed, are those that recognise the need for premium production values, and get to the core of the conversations going on between fans. Not only that, they have a fundamental understanding of how and where that content should be delivered.
One brand in particular that's excelling at this perfect media mix, is Adidas. Recently announcing the much-hyped return of Paul Pogba (an Adidas-sponsored athlete) from Juventus to Manchester United (a team for which Adidas provides the kit), the German sports giant carefully orchestrated the reveal on its Adidas UK and Adidas Football social platforms. Producing a slick, hyper-kinetic music collaboration video between London-grime-rapper-of-the-moment Stormzy and Pogba himself, Adidas had young football fans lighting Twitter up on release – something that was amplified nicely thanks to United's own following of 8.6 million followers. A slew of accompanying videos released on Instagram, Snapchat and Vine helped to keep momentum, prolong the spotlight on the event and keep fan engagement strong.
Including Stormzy in this incendiary media mix was shrewd thinking from Adidas; the brand is clearly not afraid of crossing cultural boundaries. It's also indicative of the increasing power and influence of the modern sports fan – Adidas knows that young football fans don't care just about football; they're real individuals with other passions. And thanks to its recent and heavy investment in cultural talent across music – and the creative industries as a whole – the brand can effortlessly leverage this talent in a completely authentic, and credible, way.
Influencing a brand's marketing strategy is one thing, but the modern sports fan has the potential to wield yet more power. The global sports industry is estimated to be worth $700bn, and the market for sporting events in countries such as France, the US and the UK is growing faster than GDP. "This upward trend, paralleled by increasingly costly sponsorship and rights deals – most notably the record-breaking £120m per season deal between Barcelona and Nike – is causing conflict between fans, organisations and sponsors," says Shaw.
Ticket prices have rocketed at twice the rate of the cost of living since 2011, and disgruntled fans are feeling priced out of the action. For Shaw, sponsors and brands could be the answer. "One emerging idea is to gamify the fan experience, rewarding engagement with anything from free tickets to special experiences. It could be a valuable opportunity for brands," he explains.
Another way in which sports fans have made an impact, is live streaming on mobile. In an age of digital technology where content can be both plentiful and instant, the NFL has made a deal with Twitter to live stream games. An organic move, considering Twitter's already immense user-base and the way the platform naturally lends itself to live commentary. "Their ability to stimulate and push with actual streaming or gaming events will only enhance their position and role," says Kirkham. Elsewhere, NBC struck a deal with Snapchat to run stories at the Rio Olympics to engage younger viewers and complement its more traditional TV offering.
"With these micro video platforms, one of the most important things is to show something exclusive," says Shaw. "Instagram is a platform that was set up to provide intimacy at scale: that feeling of peering behind the curtain. It's something that sponsors can certainly help facilitate." It's these behind-the-scenes moments that will help brands create a longer-term connection with their audiences, in turn keeping not only the event, but also themselves, relevant.
As for the future, the sports fan remains king. No longer passive spectators, fans are sharing and generating social content in staggering numbers; the 2014 World Cup in Brazil was Twitter's biggest ever event, with 672m tweets sent. It's driving channels like Twitter and Snapchat to incorporate this user content, making fans an intrinsic part of sporting events. It's something that brands can do, too.

The article's headline is inaccurate; Cryptolocker has been out of action for well over a year, ever since the takedown of the GameoverZeus botnet. Cryptowall is the most prevalent ransomware today.
Hey Patrick. I changed the headline to read "ransomware," as that's what the Special Agent was generally referring to. That said: his talk did mention Cryptolocker and not Cryptowall – though he also referred to "ransomware" as if it was a species of malware, rather than a genus. In any case – I hope this helps.
Alex, are you sure that it wasn't cryptowall 3.0 (I dealt with it myself last June, fortunately made a full recovery between shadow-copies and backups with only a weekend of downtime). Cryptolocker has been down for a long time, most new infections of cryptolocker have been fakes.
Hate to say it, but you're not doing right by your clients if several of them are becoming infected. Remove their admin capabilities for starters.
What is the BS FBI reco to pay? I don't get it? Are are they profiting? This is less than early 2013 spread and easier to fix, why pay? Information not being shared amonst Corporate and Feds. Same Feds and Feds. So, little gets it again.
This is a simple project shorterm to fix and keep the green-dot loot.
Who is the FBI Recommendation Speaker or whatever they call him?
This is why backup is so important…not just for your data center, but endpoint backup as well!
Agree with that statement! We at Unitrends generally recommend 30 days retention for local backups — that gives you a good buffer to recover your data after you detect the encryption.
Yes – and the Special Agent made that point. Frequent backups make getting rid of an infection much easier vs. trying to 'break their encryption' which is basically impossible. Preventing infection, also, is increasingly impossible with the use of drive by downloads via malvertising, etc.
I would tend to think that the FBI's chief recommendation would be to keep regular back ups. The title of the article makes it seem like the FBI thinks paying the ransom under most circumstances is advisable. They probably see it as a last resort, not a chief recomendation. If that is the case then the title is a little sensationalist and misleading. You are not providing a service with this article posed like this. You didn't even mention back-ups in your article when that is the number one form of mitigation.
Untrue. From the article: "Still, the Boston head of cyber said that organizations that have procedures in place for regularly backing up their data can avoid paying a ransom at all, by simply restoring the infected system to a state prior to the infection." And, speaking as the person who heard the presentation, the message was not "backups first and ransom as a last resort." The message was: "often we're telling people who come to us hoping to get their data back that the best option is to pay the ransom." Obviously, these are folks who do not have a restore as an option. I can only report on what the guy said. Its not my job as a reporter to tidy up the FBI's image.
Thank you for that! Too many in the media are commentators rather than reporters. I feel that's a large reason for so many misinformed people out there. Please keep reporting!
Didn't want to state the obvious. Just thought publicly we don't negotiate with terrorist. And paying them doesn't mean the deal is done nor data has been copied onto their storage already? The government needs to work with IEEE, Bandwidth Providers, Cell Tower building and management companies to setup rules and guidelines on the gateway, router, FW, switch, modem and tower level. BYOD in Corporate and your environment will NEVER be under control until a major Federal Sensitive Database is brought to it's knees. Ineviteable. I tested the first WiFi ISA cards before IEEE had standards. I saw this coming in 1999. 2004 I built the first fleet of Tablets with Windows XP Embedded. Then I said this will be the norm some day made by everyone and there is a Cyber catastrophic event in the next decade. I blogged and time-stamped it Christmas day 2004 and still on the net. Congress, DOD, NSA, HOMELAND,FBI,White House, & Pentagon need to rid the entire Federal Sector from BYOD PERIOD or God only knows what will happen but its probably not imaginable to our Engineers in the Security Field. The committees in DC are just not right for recommendations and Cyber Defense Appellations. It has to go to the best Hqcker groups we have. And I mean Ethical Ones. Ones who learned Reverse Malware Engineering.
Every time someone uses the word 'terrorist' to describe any sort of run of the mill crime, cyber or not, done to an individual — one that isn't personally targeted and harassing, anyway — I want to smack them upside the head. It does nobody any favors other than those who'd seek to take advantage of outsized fear.
Please learn restraint and respect. It's disrespectful to those who have actually been in the midst of an actual terrorist event, and it's disrespectful and abusive of a populace that is too easily swayed to lose their freedoms just because someone uses words like 'terrorist' to describe something like a cyberlocker — or any other crime that is impersonal and seemingly financially motivated. Crimes are crimes. Terrorism is harder to define, but crimes aren't, by definition, terrorism. Thanks.
Drive by downloads can be mitigated by keeping computers updates (specifically Adobe Flash and Java). Creating an application whitelist is also effective, though time consuming to setup and maintain (a properly configured whitelist will prevent most crypto variants from running).
We use FreeBSD with ZFS in all our servers with snapshots every 4 hours, and webservers or anything in php or java running into another zfs FS and using jails.
The windows servers ,without any anti-virus, runs on virtualbox (that is in the zfs snapshot too).
The FBI is lazy. Don't pay it. Just back up yourself up. Buy an external hard drive. There is nothing on my computer that is of real importance to me. Paying the ransom is encouraging the hackers. I'm surprised the FBI would say that. I guess they don't have the man power to deal with it.
Chances are if they're cryptowalling your device they're also stealing all of your credentials. Just bear that in mind — a backup's nice, but if you have anything personal, private, bank info, anything at all — you're missing the point. Then there's also the other scam — snag the address book, say you're stranded somewhere, and have them send 'you' money. Or they can just use a phone exploit and run systematically through your phone book going after everyone in it to eventually or immediately possess your friends' devices too.
The point being, this isn't just a backup issue. You shouldn't be keeping anything important on your phone, period, in the first place. And I certainly wouldn't be connecting that device to your machine without doing a full cache, data, device wipe and reset, too — just to be cautious.
Treat it like any PII theft: assume all your accounts have been hacked and accessed — email, everything. Don't just assume you can't access the data. And don't just assume if you unlock the data that the problem goes away.
PS: I'd also completely reinstall the OS, not just do a device reset — with an up to date image. Assuming it's available (and with android it often isn't, which means if it could be exploited to get where it got, chances are it can be exploited again — so I'd look into ways to lock that down and finding out how you got hacked in the first place).
The FBI is giving a lot of weird advice lately.
I think this is good advice, Walter. I'll note however, that the ASAC Bonavolonta was asked about follow-on attacks (reinfection as well as id theft) and downplayed the risk during his Boston talk – suggesting that it was really about getting the ransom $$. I thought that was a bit of a sour note. Like you, I'd assume that anyone using cryptomalware in a scheme is smart enough to do some credential harvesting and data theft prior to brining the hammer down.
In theory, it's probably pretty easy once a cybercriminal has your IMEI/IMSI, tower info, GPS, etc, to just keep reinfecting you, especially with the android 'own it all' stuff that was put out this past year by a certain security company (stagefright et al). Which is to say, if you've been owned, especially by an MMS, not just installing a hacked app, and you pay a ransom, you've also indicated you're easy to relocate, and easy to sucker into paying again — or just infecting via the latter vector even if you were infected initially by the app vector. Honestly I don't think we've seen a lot of repeated harassment, and I think it's a mistake to believe most cybercriminals would go the repeat route (for one thing, that'd bring a whole lot more attention to them, for another, a lot of the locker crimes seem to be largely passive and not aggressive so far). It's like picking up a call when a telemarketer gives a ring — you're added to a list of potential victims (just like replying to spam), though: one has to bear in mind that it does mean you've suggested you're willing to pay.
Re my MMS comment, maybe it's a good idea to suggest people change their phone numbers too, incidentally.
Going to avoid getting into the politics of this; I've seen too many FBI statements take the opposite tact, and while I'm not fond of the advice, I'd rather calm than 'the sky is falling' considering there isn't much the FBI can exactly do about it anyway that they're probably not already at least considering technically.
and we pay the FBI for what? FBI needs to replace Bonavolonta with a leader that demands solutions and results. Jason is right, they are lazy!
True, John. But an individual organization confronted with the choice of "get your data back, or don't" can't really afford to be altruistic and will likely take their chances. Agent Bonavolonta did make a point of saying that the criminals are usually good to their word and deliver the decryption key. There's obviously a market interest in doing so – scamming people by taking money and not giving access back will backfire because future victims will get wind of that and opt not to waste their money. If this is a "business" – albeit an illegal one – you want to provide the (extortive) service you're charging for. That was part of the agent's message.
Many of these groups who use this malware are terrorist groups. As such, paying the fine would be literally funding terrorism.
If the first part of your statement is true then the second part of your statement is (probably) true, also. But I haven't seen any conclusive evidence that the first part of your statement is true some of the time, all of the time, none of the time. If you have it, please share!
Did the FBI say what % of the time you'd get your data back if you pay? My files were encrypted by something that appears to be Cryptowall,but possibly of a different "species". I'm not sure if it's the same criminals or some other spin-off.
I totally agree with Paul the author in that when you lose your data, sorry, you're not thinking about how a few hundred $$ is going to MAYBE fund some terrorists. You're thinking about increasing the chances of getting your important files back. PERIOD.
Pingback: FBI: Ransomware Victims Should "Just Pay the Ransom"
Never pay the ransom, you only perpetuate the problem. You lose your data. Learn to back your data up and that effectively kills this problem. Just restore from backups.
Paul – in journalism school, do they teach you about context? You completely mis-characterized what was actually said, to generate page views. I say that, because noone could accidentally take those statements so far out of context, unless it was intentional. That's called site whoring.
Excuse me? Were you at the event Jorge? If anything, I omitted comments that would be even more inflammatory, Jorge. And this wasn't a throw away comment or aside. This was a flat out statement by the agent that paying ransom in cases of ransomware was often the easiest resolution to the issue, where no other technical means (restore from backup) are available. But the agent didn't start talking about backups – he started talking about how often the easiest thing is just to pay the ransom. I can put you in touch with other attendees who will corroborate that, if you wish, and if there's video of the session, I welcome it, as it will support my account of the talk. If you were there and somehow have another memory of the talk, feel free to call me and we can discuss offline. If you weren't there, please stop trolling and impugning my character and my journalistic ethics.
Pingback: The FBI says you may need to pay up if hackers infect your computer with ransomware | . . TheSecurityBlogger . . .
What's funny is how few people are actually discussing the issue at hand. And of course the journalist highlighted the most interesting part of the story, which also happens to be the most important part of the story. If you can't implicitly determine that a backup should be used first(if available), then that's a whole different problem. There is a solution to encrypting malware, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve feigning confidence that criminals will just become uninterested and stop. Therefore, while telling people to pay may be promoting some activity, it is also the ethical thing to tell people who currently want their data back.
Yes. This is exactly the point: if you're a business or individual who needs to get data back and doesn't have a backup, you have few options. What the Boston FBI was saying, essentially, is that breaking the malware's crypto isn't one of them, so don't count on it. That's also a warning for companies that haven't yet been hit to put the necessary protections in place so that you can recover from a crypto malware attack. Namely: frequent off site backups, user least privilege (so write privs to network directories only when absolutely necessary), etc.


The Southern Ute Tribe of Colorado will take the lead under a new agreement designed to improve the quality of roads on the reservation.
The tribe signed an agreement with the Colorado Department of Transportation, La Plata County and the town of Ignacio. The governments will develop a comprehensive plan to address road and transportation issues.
Activity has increased in and around Ignacio due to the tribe's casino and the tribe's oil and gas development.

Donna Payton Works In Mixed Media
Donna Payton grew up in St. Louis, where her father was a cookie salesman and her mother an artist. Her parents both loved being out in nature and took her on camping trips that inspired her to do Andy Goldsworthy-type art, arranging rocks and floating flowers on water. Her grandfather was a builder, and she was also very influenced by the tools and raw materials in his workshop.
While getting her MFA in painting and sculpture from the Otis School of Art and Design, in Los Angeles, CA, her studies with Betye Saar provided the opportunity to examine the integration of materials into mixed media assemblages, which reaffirmed for her the continued acceptance of art made from simple, discarded materials.
Today she creates high relief collages as well as installations combining recycled objects, natural materials and constructed sculptures. She also makes photographs using the human form as a sculptural base for parts of her disassembled sculptural constructs.
Among the awards in her career are a New Jersey Print and Paper Grant from the Brodsky Center at Rutgers University and a collage award from The National Collage Society at the Berman Museum Show celebrating 100 years of collage's recognition as an art form.
She has exhibited in galleries and museums in California, Florida, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Washington, D.C. and New Zealand. Payton's work is in private and corporate collections, including Southeastern Banks, Citibank of Florida, Cleveland Clinic in Florida, Novo Nordisk, Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, AtlantiCare New Jersey, New Jersey State Museum, Jersey City Museum, Zimmerli Art Museum, New Jersey State Council on the Arts and Hunterdon Museum of Art.
Payton has curated international and local exhibitions. She has taught painting, drawing, 2D and 3D design classes at Brookdale Community College, Ocean County College and high schools in the Midwest. Payton is currently teaching at the Arts Council of Princeton. She works in many media approaching art making in a concept-driven manner in her central New Jersey studio.

Q: "Trying to get property of non object" error in Laravel 5.1 I am new to Laravel 5.1 and I'm quite confused why I keep on getting this error. I have tried researching about this problem but nothing seems to solve my problem. It only gives me more errors.
It's really weird since when I try to dd() the variable it returns everything I need.
public function custInfo(Request $request)
{

    $search_custname = $request->input('cust_name');

    $customer_info = \DB::table('tblCustIndividual AS a')
            ->leftJoin('tblJobOrder AS b', 'a.strIndivID', '=', 'b.strJO_CustomerFK')
            ->leftJoin('tblJOPayment AS c', 'b.strJobOrderID', '=', 'c.strTransactionFK')
            ->select('a.strIndivID', \DB::raw('CONCAT(a.strIndivFName, " ", a.strIndivMName, " ", a.strIndivLName) AS fullname'), 'b.*', 'c.*')
            ->where(\DB::raw('CONCAT(a.strIndivFName, " ", a.strIndivMName, " ", a.strIndivLName)'), '=', $search_custname)
            ->first();

    return view('transaction-billingpayment-individual')
            ->with('search_custname', $search_custname)
            ->with('customer_info', $customer_info);
}

here's the screenshot of the dd()

A: In your case remove foreach and try to access it like
{{ $customer_info->fullname }}

Or
Try this
if (!$search_custname->isEmpty()){
  // your query
}

Actually fisrt() returns Model or null, so always add a check there.

Crawley Ticket Holder Has Just Days to Claim EuroMillions Prize
A UK EuroMillions winner from Crawley in West Sussex is just days away from missing out on a EuroMillions prize of £1 million. The lucky ticket holder, whose good fortune fortune could be about to run dry, landed the seven-figure sum in June, but has so far failed to contact National Lottery officials.
The mystery winner correctly matched the Millionaire Maker code HQGT 61980 in the draw on Friday 2nd June, however, despite numerous appeals in the area there has still been no contact. The deadline for collection is on Wednesday 29th November and National Lottery campaigners will be doing all they can to track down the victorious ticket holder.
Carter's on the Case
One man who will be going the extra mile to ensure the missing player has a very merry Christmas is Andy Carter, the National Lottery's senior winners' advisor. Desperate to brighten the festive period, the organisation's chief huntsman said: "Time really is running out for the winner of this prize, but we are still hopeful that someone will come forward at the very last minute to claim the money.
"We're urging everyone to check their old tickets one final time or look anywhere a missing EuroMillions ticket could be hiding. This prize could really help to make dreams become a reality for someone out there."
Could You Be a EuroMillions Winner?
With the football season having ended a month earlier, there would have been plenty of fans at a loose end ahead of the weekend. Alternatively, the winner could have been a shopper out gathering summer supplies or a worker hoping to test their luck by picking up a lottery ticket ahead of a EuroMillions draw that offered a jackpot of £134.8 million. The day was also notable for the death of the beloved Last of the Summer Wine and Wallace and Gromit actor Peter Sallis and the anniversary of the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II.
Players in the UK are reminded that they have 180 days from the date of the winning draw to make a claim. If you think that you could have a valid claim, don't delay and contact the National Lottery on 0845 278 8000 before Wednesday's deadline. For more information, visit the How to Claim page.
Could Tonight be Your Night?
Could tonight be your night to become a EuroMillions winner? If you fancy your chances of landing a jackpot of £65 million, pick your numbers online now. Taking part online also gives you the chance to double your chances of winning big this weekend.

Net_DNS2 includes a built-in local cache to improve query performance. The cache is disabled by default, and can use shared memory, using the PHP Shmop Extension, or a flat file.
The local cache is only used for lookup queries, and is disabled for Updates.
Net_DNS2 uses the Shmop Extension. If you do not have the extension installed, and you specify to use the shared memory cache, Net_DNS2 will throw an exception.
Net_DNS2 can use a flat file to store the cache information. The cache_file must be in a location PHP can write to, and has enough space to hold a file cache_size bytes big.
You can also adjust the serialization method used when storing the cache data. By default, Net_DNS2 uses the PHP serialize()/unserialize(), but you can also use JSON encoding.
JSON encoding is much faster then the PHP serialize functions, but it loses the class information of the objects- everything comes back as stdClass objects.
To change the serialization method, set "cache_serializer" to either "serialize" or "json".
The speed difference is significant.


Right now, EasyEmail is only compatible with Gmail. (Outlook support is coming later this year.) To get started, install the extension and give EasyEmail permission to peruse your inbox so it can learn your writing style and offer suggestions for replies. And if you're worried about what EasyEmail is learning from your email, the company says that it encrypts and stores any data it gleans on Amazon Web Servers.
Your confidential emails are stored on our encrypted servers without the attachments, and with censored names, emails and any numbers we can find.
What about Google's Smart Replies?
One of the biggest benefits of EasyEmail is that it gives you pre-built replies right in your browser, whereas Gmail's Smart Reply feature—a similar treatment—is only available via its iOS or Android app, or when using Inbox by Google.
EasyEmail's suggestions pop up at the start of every sentence and resemble the autocorrect feature on your smartphone, altering its output based on your previous input (which is why EasyEmail looks at your email replies). When I tried it out, the extension correctly assumed what I wanted to say after I started typing "What" into the text box. Well done.
The suggested responses EasyEmail provides are also longer and more varied than Google's Smart Reply options. You can even edit EasyEmail's list to include responses you frequently use and remove responses you know you'll never say.
To banish a suggested response from your Inbox, just hit the big "X" next to any suggestions you hate—like "Let me know how I can help!" Just a thought.


Fast Messenger For Facebook: Facebook Messenger is a COMPLIMENTARY mobile messaging application used for instantaneous messaging, sharing images, videos, audio recordings and for team chats. The application, which is cost-free to Download, can be made use of to connect with your buddies on Facebook and also with your phone contacts. There are many means to interact with family and friends online these days, however Facebook's Messenger app is among the most convenient alternatives.
Why? Much of individuals you understand are possibly currently on Facebook's main social networking site, so there's no have to faff around with telephone number or PINs.
The Messenger application is a separate application to Facebook. However, users' accounts can be set utilizing their Facebook account or telephone number.
Facebook separated the Messenger part of its service from the major application in August 2014-- to the outrage of several, who believed Facebook was strong-arming them right into downloading and install another application. Many people have actually currently accepted Messenger's separation from the major app and also seen the benefits: it's faster and also has more features than in the past.
First of all, you'll need to Download the app. It's devoid of your app store, or by following the prompt from the primary application. If your Facebook account is tied to your phone you will not have to login again.
At first Facebook asks for your telephone number. The company offers this as a benefit as it allows your non-Facebook good friends to locate you on Messenger. Miss this step if providing Facebook your mobile number makes you awkward by clicking Not Currently-- the application functions without it.
Next you'll be asked if you want to import your phone contacts into the application as well as include them as Messenger contacts, even if you're not good friends with them.
Importing those contacts will save them on Facebook's very own web servers, so once again, it goes to your discretion.
When set up, you'll see the acquainted Chat display, where all of your 'Recent' conversations are shown in sequential order. Friends that also have the Messenger app set up are highlighted by the blue lightning bolt icon.
Unread messages are displayed in bold, while swiping best enables you to erase or silence the discussion. Lastly, tapping a name takes you through to the Chat home window.
Striking the video camera icon allows you to break a quick picture as well as attach it with a solitary tap.
You could likewise easily connect an image from your cam roll by touching the picture symbol. Previously, this would fill your gallery app, however the Messenger app lots a small gallery at the foot of the window in a cool, time-saving feature.
Holding down 'Send out' permits you to record up to 15 secs of video and connect it straight to a message.
Touching the microphone symbol and then holding back Record lets you catch a 15-second (or much less) audio message.
There's likewise an information icon that will take you to accessibility images individuals have shared privately with each other, while also using a shortcut to their account. You can even silence messages from them.
If you're meeting a person, the place function can be useful. Click the pointer symbol and your device will establish your location (ensure area setups are switched on for this to function).
Tapping the top right symbol permits you to earn complimentary video call or Audio calls to your Facebook close friends. It's ideal to do this on a wi-fi connection to conserve your data allowance.
Messenger runs in the background when you're not using it and also Chat Heads show up when you obtain a new message on Android. These are small circular symbols of your buddies that show up on the side of your display.
Click them to open up Messenger and begin talking to them. Or drag them to the bottom of your screen to disregard the message.

Q: How to inherit generic types in implementations without having generic interfaces in Kotlin? I'm writing this SDK where I need to define functionality in publicly accessible interfaces as:
interface CommonEndPoint {
   fun doSomething(listener: IListener<CommonType>)
}

and then implement the common interface in the sub-project as:
interface SpecialEndpoint : CommonEndpoint {
  fun doSomething(listener: IListener<SpecialType>)
}

where SpecialType extends CommonType.
I have defined the contra-variant generic listener as:
interface IListener<in T> {
   receiveResult(result: T)
}

The problem is:

*

*I need the SDK user to work with the SpecialType, not the CommonType

*I need to override the method names as they are

Here are the things I've tried so far:

*

*I have tried generic functions, they didn't work either as they need to specify the type.

*I cannot use @JvmName because these methods are open/override

*At the moment I use abstract classes with protected/internal constructors to define the methods that need to be defined and implemented

Why not generic interfaces? The interfaces are not meant to be generics because the types are only used in one function, but the listeners should be generic as they are used everywhere in the project. Plus, the same implementation is supposed to be done for iOS with Objective-C compatibility, which means I have to support light-weight generics there and if I make the interfaces generic, I have to write my code three times for iOS.

A: I think you need covariance instead of contravariance to get SpecialType to be used. The kotlin page is pretty helpful I think. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/generics.html

A: In the end, I had to use generic common interfaces in this form:
interface CommonEndPoint<TYPE1 : CommonType> {
    fun doSomething(listener: IListener<TYPE1>)
}

And inherit in the specialised endpoint like this:
interface SpecialEndpoint : CommonEndpoint<SpecialType> {
    fun doSomething(listener: IListener<SpecialType>)
}

Which works perfectly for Java/Kotlin code. And drop Listeners and switch to closures for iOS/Objective-C which translates to blocks.

This was a quick concept drawn following a recent visit to Cape Town, South Africa. The client, who operates charter boats from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront development, was planning an addition to his fleet of charter boats. In this case it was felt that extreme speed was not really and issue due to the fact that suitable sea conditions are rare in Table Bay and keeping fuel costs within reason makes good sense.
In one mode the vessel can take around 30 passenger on 1 to 2 hour trips around the harbour and also a few miles along the beautiful Atlantic Seaboard of the Cape Peninsula. Stripped of the some (or all) of the seating will create larger deck spaces available for other utilisations such as carrying film crews etc.
The collar in this case would most likely be foam with a polyethylene coating, instead of the typical inflatable Hypalon tubes which have given rise to the term's RHIB or RIB. So in a sense, although this is not a RIB, the overall styling showing circular "pontoon" sections of the collar lends itself to the name.
Various powering and propulsion options would be suitable, depending on budget, location of operation, availability of maintenance etc. Approximately 700 hp would be required at full payload to top 30 knots. Cruising speed would be in the mid – 20 knot range, still quick enough to be fun whilst not needing shock-mitigating seating.

Q: Start axis at zero with axis() This must be a really simple cause, but I did not find the answer. I want to add an y-axis to a plot with axis()with the starting point at zero.
Usually I would solve the problem with ylim() but in axis() the parameter doesn't exist.
Here is my code, I need to root-transform the y-axis
 y <- seq(0,1500,300)
 plot(y, yaxt = "n")
 axis(2, sqrt(seq(0,1500,300)), labels = seq(0,1500,300), las = 1)

This code draws an axis at the right position with the right labels, except for the missing zero and the missing tickmark at zero.
Is there a parameter to define the limits of the axis in axis()?

The Melodica Men Story
What started off as two guys playing toy instruments for fun is now an internationally-acclaimed musical duo. Joe Buono and Tristan Clarke became friends while studying music at the Peabody Conservatory, and they have been playing melodica together since May 2016. A melodica is like a cross between a keyboard and a harmonica because you have to blow air into it to make the reeds inside vibrate.
In July 2016, the Melodica Men funded their tour of Seattle and Paris by busking in the street. In September 2016, their "Rite of Spring" video went viral and gained over 1.5 million views in one day. In December 2016, they played their solo debut with the Jacksonville Symphony at the Holiday Pops concert series. Since then, they have been soloists with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, featured on ABC's "The Gong Show," briefly seen on NBC's "America's Got Talent," and have gained 230,000+ social media followers and over 30 million views worldwide thus far. You can find the Melodica Men on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.
Behind the scenes, the Melodica Men are pioneering a new way of learning music as a language through the melodica. Pilot programs in elementary schools will start in January 2018, and a full online curriculum is in the works. You can find out more about their music education mission on Patreon.
Tristan is a graduate of the Juilliard School and plays principal trumpet with the Jacksonville Symphony. Joe has earned two Masters degrees from the Peabody Conservatory and is currently teaching and composing.

A recent motion decision dealt with the standard of care in emergency situations.
In Dubois v. Ford Credit Canada Leasing, 2012 ONSC 7311 (S.C.J.), the plaintiff was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by Gunn. An oncoming vehicle crossed into Gunn's lane and he swerved left to avoid the accident. Unfortunately, the other driver also swerved and they collided.
3. Which provides that if driver A loses control and seeks to apportion blame on B, A must show that B became aware or should have become aware and had an opportunity to avoid the accident.
 The conclusion to be drawn from the above analysis is that the test to be applied is properly set out in the first formulation on the understanding that, as emphasized in the second formulation, a driver in the "agony of a collision" generated by an emergency, may properly be considered to have acted reasonably even though his conduct might not be considered reasonable if it had occurred in circumstances that offered a reasonable time for decision.
Justice Spence dismissed the motion for summary judgment, as there were competing expert opinions and the potential for unfairness to the plaintiff, who was an innocent passenger. Although the decision is an interesting summary of the "agony of the collision" principles, it also imports a fairness component, which introduces a new factor in the analysis.


Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological disorder that causes an individual to have struggles communicating with others (Web MD, 2010). People with ASD experience problems with verbal and nonverbal communication as well as social interactions (Gillon & Smith, 2004). Today there are many cases of ASD in the United States. The incidence of ASD has increased from 1 in 100, to 1 in 88 people (Stobbe, 2012). People with ASD who are nonverbal are sometimes thought to be deaf because of a lack of response when others speak to them (Web MD, 2010). There are several different therapy practices for individuals with ASD that can work separately or in combination to achieve the best outcome for the patient, which is better communication. The current investigation reviews the history and characteristics of ASD and relevant literature about beneficial therapy practices, such as music therapy, imitative interaction intervention, applied behavior analysis, play based therapy, art therapy, and family involvement for those individuals affected by the disorder.

Buy now pay later service Tabby secures $50mn in debt financing
Tue, 22 Jun, 2021 By Ashika Rajan, Trainee Reporter
Dubai-based popular buy now, pay later (BNPL) company Tabby, has received $50 million from US-based Partners for Growth in one of the largest debt facilities availed by a FinTech start-up in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
The financing marks a significant milestone in the region's startup environment and demonstrates the growing maturity of the FinTech landscape. The investment will "bolster Tabby's capitalization to expand lending capacity and support the company's growth", it said.
Mr. Hosam Arab, Chief Executive Officer Tabby remarked that "as our transaction volumes and merchant numbers have continued to surpass all our expectations, it was essential for us to partner with an organization that would support our current and long-term growth."

The BNPL business model, which lets consumers make online purchases instantly and spread the payments out over interest-free installments, has exploded since the outbreak of COVID-19 as more people choose to buy online.
According to a report by New York data research consultancy CB Insights, the worldwide BNPL industry is predicted to increase 10 to 15 times its current volume by 2025, hitting $1 trillion in annual gross merchandise volume by some estimates.
Mr. Max Penel, Investment Director at Principal Financial Group pointed out that "Tabby is one of the fastest-growing companies in the MENA region and they have an attractive market opportunity ahead."
Tabby raised $23 million in initial venture capital funding in December last year led by Arbor Ventures and Mubadala Capital. The company said that the money would be used to fuel the company's next stage of growth.
Tabby's platform operated in February 2020 and has agreements with 2,000 large and small retailers including Ikea, Marks & Spencer, Home Centre, and Toys R Us.
The startup launched a loyalty program earlier this month that rewards customers with tangible cash that they can use to fund new purchases, settle future payments, or deposit into their bank accounts.
The industry is also ripe for deal-making with many local BNPL companies bagging sizeable investments this year.
Saudi Arabia-based BNPL Tamara recently raised $110 million in debt and equity financing from Checkout.com.

After serving for eleven years in the United Methodist Conference, Pastor Richard Johnson, III knew that his ministry was being direc.uk-text-top	ted to another level. God had placed on his heart to establish a congregation in the Annapolis area.
Pastor Johnson was not to be alone in the undertaking of this monumental task. On February 22, 1991, Pastor Johnson called together eight people (Karen Johnson, Glenton Queen, Stephanie Beckett, Barry Williams, Sr., Camilla Holmes, Denice Neal, Rodney Coleman, and Elder Craig Coates) to share the vision that God had given to him. At the conclusion of that meeting, spirits were so high that they could not be contained, and God's plan for the formation of First Christian Community Church of Annapolis, Incorporated was in motion.
At the initial meeting four work areas were established: Worship, Christian Education, Property and Finance, and Growth and Development. By the end of March 1991, all of the committees were in operation and six additional people had committed to First Christian, Joseph Brown, Zena Brown, Arlene Herndon, Carrie Parsons, Maggie Poole, and R. Ann Powell.
Our first service was held on Sunday, July 7, 1991, at the Holiday Inn in Annapolis. We were blessed to have 130 worshippers celebrating our opening. First Christian was on the move!
During our first year, we experienced rapid growth spiritually, physically, and financially. We grew from an initial eight members to 103 by June 1992. Additional work areas were established: the Altar Guild, the Deaconry Team, the Choir, the Adult and Junior Ushers, and Evangelism Team, the Communications Team, and the Membership Team.
FCC was on the move. For the next several years we were blessed with many places of worship. Our wilderness experience has taken us to the Ralphe J. Bunche Community Center, Edgewater, back to Annapolis in a "warehouse" on Lincoln Drive, a two-year commitment which exceeded $153,000. Remaining in the Annapolis area a while longer, we traveled a few blocks away to Beacon Light Seventh Day Adventist Church, Drew Street. From there, we moved to Southern Senior High School in Harwood, Maryland. During the numerous moves, we continued to experience growth in membership and ministry development. Our membership has grown to 800+ and many additional ministries have been established.
First Christian Community Church of Annapolis, Incorporated is a church that seeks to be inclusive rather than exclusive-the alternative church. God has determined our mission and we boldly step forward to carry out His plan. It is our prayer to remain humble and faithful and to walk in God's divine will.
The absolute foundation of the First Christian ministry is the Word of God. The Bible provides the source and the measuring rod for the principles and practices guiding the church's ministry. All goals, objectives, programs, and activities are evaluated in light of the truth of Scripture. For this we Praise God!


This test build removes the limit of 1000 hotkeys previously imposed by the internal use of fixed-size arrays.
There is a limit of 32762 (0x7FF9) hotkeys based on the range of ID values available. Compared to the jump from 1000 to 32k, the cost of further increasing the limit (in terms of memory usage and work required) would be disproportionate to any benefit gained.


In this step, you will find out what type of admissions candidate you are and where your strengths lie. Your job in this step is to give the admissions office a reason to say "yes" to your application. Completion of this step will help us determine the degree of interest that you have in personal, social and academic interests, and how those interests should affect your college choices.
Step 2 will show you how to develop into the candidate the admissions committee is looking for. We'll show you how to evolve into the student who is college bound based on high school performance, community activities, character and other evidences of personal strive that will impress the admissions committee. You'll discover how to go beyond the minimum requirements of high school to become a more competitive applicant.
In this step, you'll consider colleges of different levels of selectivity, in different parts of the country. Ones that differ in characteristics such as size, academic programs, atmosphere and traditions. In doing this, you will have an advantage over many applicants who fail to diversify their applications sufficiently to avoid rejection. You'll explore as many alternatives as possible to find schools where your strengths will be best developed.
Now that you've determined which colleges you are seriously interested in as well as which ones that are within your academic range, you'll begin to further gather background information about these colleges. You'll learn how to isolate the major factors you should consider in narrowing the field of possible colleges to which you will apply. A key feature of this step is one in which you will increase your chances for admission by applying to a variety of schools where you believe your particular strengths will give you a competitive advantage.
A good application can enhance your odds for admission just like a bad application can ruin your chances for admissions. In this step, you'll learn what it takes to write winning college applications. You'll get step-by-step instruction on how to make your applications stand out and how to get organized in order to stay on top of your paperwork. A professional looking application is a major step towards acceptance.
College applications ask students to write statements and essays that reveal aspects of their nature and of the lives they lead. In Step 6, you will see how to write essays in a way that will show your feelings and experiences to awaken the reader's interests. You will find out how to choose a topic, how to write your first draft, and how to revise and polish your draft into a good essay that honestly expresses your thoughts and personality.
Just as none of us would buy a $100,000+ house without looking at it or the community, neither should we expect students to make a four-year commitment based on phone calls and literature. That's why in Step 7, you'll see the importance of visiting a campus before accepting an admissions offer. You will find out how to plan a good visit, what to do when you get there, who to talk to, and what questions to ask. You'll also learn how to take control of the interview so that you can make a favorable impression. This is taught through the use of role-playing exercises that allow you to hone your skills at asking and answering questions.
In step 8, you will see just how you can make extra efforts to insure recognition by the admissions committee, faculty and coaches. You'll find out how to market your strengths to distinguish yourself from other candidates. Your objective is to persuade a committee to choose you because they are really aware of your individuality and what a difference it can make to the next freshmen class.
In this step, we will walk you through the steps of applying for financial aid. You'll learn from our examination of financial aid that a great number and variety of financial resources can put an education, at a majority of America's most selective and expensive colleges, within your reach. With our assistance, you will find out how much money you will be expected to pay out-of-pocket for college and what resources are available now and in the next four years that you will have access to.
Now that you've made a successful navigation of the admissions process, it's time to make the final transition to college. When you are faced with two or more letters of acceptance and financial aid packages, you'll find out how to make the final choice. In addition, you will be invited to workshops on "College Survival." You will also learn what you need to pack, how to get along with your roommates, and how to manage your time and money, as well as what to do when you need help with academics, and/or emotional or physical problems.

Bill Shorten says he wants to make Australia's tax system fairer.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten: "This is about one, clear, fair system. One set of rules, for all Australians."
CANBERRA -- The Federal Opposition has begun to make good on its pledge to tackle inequality, announcing plans on Sunday, if elected, to make it harder for wealthy individuals to "park their money" to minimise tax at the same time as clawing back an estimated $17 billion over a decade, or $4 billion over four years.
The expected announcement at the New South Wales Labor conference to crack down on the legal practice of artificial income-splitting to avoid paying tax through discretionary trusts brings the budget savings under Labor's tax reform to just under $50 billion dollars over the medium term, although to realise this it would take several terms of government.
According to advance speech notes, seen by HuffPost Australia, Labor Leader Bill Shorten will on Sunday tackle a "two-class tax system" by announcing a minimum tax rate of 30 percent on discretionary trust distributions to adult beneficiaries.
"Every year in Australia, there are high-income earners who use discretionary trusts to park their money in a lower tax bracket," Shorten is expected to say.
"And the rest of the community are left to subsidise this.
"That's not fair on Australians who'll never be able to afford this option."
"Our system should not be subsidising those who are already wealthy -- and our budget cannot afford to."
Earlier this month a research paper by the Australia Institute found billions of dollars of tax revenue is being lost due to wealthy Australians using family trusts, perhaps $3.5 billion a year. Tackling this issue has long been sought by welfare groups and was outlined by Australia's main welfare body, the Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) in an interview last week with HuffPost Australia.
It comes a week after Shorten declared that tackling rising inequality will be a "defining mission" of a future Labor government.
He had flagged further, perhaps sweeping, tax reform and Sunday's announcement adds to Labor's $32 billion 2016 election promise to abolish negative gearing on existing homes.
"This is about trusts serving their true purpose, so distributions are taxed fairly," Shorten is expected to say on Sunday.
"It's about delivering a level playing field -- so high-income earners can't opt-out of paying income tax.
"This is about one, clear, fair system. One set of rules, for all Australians.
"Tradies and retail workers and mechanics and cleaners don't get to choose how much tax they pay -- and neither should anyone else".
Inequality up: OECD, Grattan, ALP, ANU experts, Melb experts, RBA.
Treasurer Scott Morrison has been attacking Shorten over his new push to tackle inequality, accusing the Labor Leader of lying and "cheap rhetoric about an unfair Australia" in order to bring in bigger taxes.
"We're not going to engage in this populist approach of Bill Shorten who is chasing votes like an ambulance chasing politicians when it comes to exploiting people's frustrations and fears," the Treasurer said last week.
"I'm simply saying, Bill, we're not going to cop you bringing Australia down, we are not going to allow you to spin another lie so you can give Australians bigger taxes."
Labor is not moving to abolish trusts and the policy does not apply to deceased estates, disability trusts, farms or charitable trusts. Asset protections for small businesses will remain.
But the federal opposition will, if elected, impose limits on income splitting. Shorten will argue while artificial income splitting is completely legal, "that doesn't mean it is fair".
"We will apply a minimum tax rate of 30 percent on discretionary trust distributions to beneficiaries over 18 years of age," he is expected to say.
"This makes our tax system fairer, it makes our budget stronger -- and it's the right thing to do."
Labor expects the measure will deliver an extra $4.1 billion over four years and $17.2 billion over ten years.
Shorten will say Labor is building on tax reform started by then Liberal Treasurer John Howard in the 1980s and 1990s. Howard taxed trust distributions to minors at the top marginal tax rate. Labor is extending this principle to adult beneficiaries at 30 percent.
