Last month the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") announced by publication in the Federal Register that it would delay implementation of the "International Entrepreneur Rule," a new regulation, promulgated under President Obama's tenure in office, that provided immigration opportunities for a small number of international entrepreneurs who could show that they would provide a significant public benefit to the United States in the form of economic growth and the creation of U.S. jobs. The International Entrepreneur Rule empowered the Secretary of DHS to grant discretionary parole authority to foreign national entrepreneurs who met certain criteria in order to increase and enhance entrepreneurship, innovation, and job creation in the United States.
This rule was set to take effect on July 17, 2017 but DHS published a final rule with delaying the effective date and requesting comments on July 11, 2017. By this action, DHS has now delayed implementation of the International Entrepreneur Rule until March 14, 2018. DHS has opened the matter for an extremely brief public comment period and could potentially rescind the program entirely. If you would like to make your opinion on this new rule heard, please ensure you submit a comment through the Federal Register's e-Rulemaking portal or by mail by August 10, 2017.
On USCIS recently announced a redesign for lawful permanent resident cards (commonly referred to as "green cards") and employment authorization documents ("EADs") as part of the Next Generation Secure Identification Document project. USCIS began issuing the cards on May 1, 2017 but will continue using existing card stock until depleted. Both existing and new cards are valid until the expiration date noted on the cards. Please visit the USCIS website's announcement for more information and to see images of the newly redesigned cards.
A quick-response matrix barcode ("QR code") will be generated once the form is printed to assist in streamlining audit processes.
Employers should also be aware that under new regulations by the Department of Homeland Security ("DHS") that became effective January 17, 2017, if an individual's employment authorization is due to expire, employers must re-verify their Form I-9 no later than the date of expiration of their current employment authorization to reflect the individual is still work-authorized in the U.S. in order to continue his or her employment. For persons presenting employment authorization documents ("EAD") for I-9, reverification applies upon the expiration of the automatically extended validity period for the EAD and not the expiration date indicated on the face of the EAD. We expect DHS to issue further guidance on this issue soon in the form of a revised M-274, Handbook for Employers, Guidance for Completing Form I-9. Also, USCIS is hosting a teleconference on Tuesday, January 31, 2017 from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. EST to discuss the revised Form I-9. USCIS will review the form's enhancements, discuss employment eligibility verification best practices, and answer questions about each section of the form. You may sign up for this teleconference on the USCIS website.
The Form I-9 is a notoriously difficult form to execute properly, and yet errors can result in hefty penalties for employers. Iandoli Desai & Cronin offers internal I-9 Audits and training sessions to ensure your company is compliant. If you would like more information and/or have questions concerning I-9 procedures and enforcement actions, please contact the attorneys at Iandoli Desai & Cronin at info@iandoli.com.

7. Risk considerations
Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance. Performance data does not take commissions and costs charged when units are issued and redeemed, as well as any custodian fees or withholding tax that could potentially reduce the value, into account.
Moreover, investments denominated in foreign currencies are directly and indirectly subject to exchange-rate fluctuations. Distributions made in connection with funds and other investment instruments may also vary. Investors thus face the risk of not recouping their original investment in full. Even a total loss of investment cannot be ruled out. Please carefully analyse the risks inherent in an investment instrument, in particular the risk considerations contained in the current sales prospectus of the respective fund as well as the brochure Special Risks in Securities Trading from SwissBanking. Investors should also be aware, that the liquidity of fund shares and other investment instruments may be limited.

When I meet the young historian Liam Gauci – happily, at our common current hometown of Marsaskala – he's apologetic over the fact that the only copy of his latest book he can hand me is a spiral-bound uncorrected proof.
But mild domestic tension aside, this is actually something of a 'humblebrag' on Gauci's part. What it really means is that 'In the Name of the Prince: Maltese Corsairs – 1760-1798' – published by Heritage Malta last February – has entirely sold out its first run, and that history buffs and general readers eager to get a taste of this turbulent historical period and its colourful maritime protagonists will have to wait at least a few more weeks until the second run is released in shops.
Not that the book's success is all that surprising. Though he will later go to great pains to stress that corsairing is emphatically not the same as piracy, the subject carries over a similar whiff of nautical romance. And Gauci's firm historical footing (he's a regular patron of Valletta's Notarial Archives), coupled with his humane focus on individual key players, is an assurance that the book is both historically solid and readable.
Gauci is also good at pinning down the pragmatic realities behind what may seem dramatic, colourful and grandiloquent historical narratives. Another advantage of working from notarial archives is that they present the researcher with the historical protagonists' business and property concerns: quite literally allowing the historian to get down to the brass tacks of what their subjects prioritised. And it's good to be reminded that corsairing was, first and foremost, a business.
Unsurprisingly, Malta's geographical location was crucial to such a venture, so much so that Gauci describes how eventually, "all of Europe knew that Malta was perfect for this kind of business". But it was a business with loaded political and diplomatic implications. The French weren't too keen on it because it disrupted trade in Eastern Europe – a crucial financial lifeline for them. And neither was the Church too enthusiastic about the practice – not because of any moral considerations, mind, but because bringing the Catholic and Orthodox Church together was always a desirable priority… and being Ottoman subjects at the time, the Greeks were threatened by it too.
But corsairing was too lucrative and flexible a pursuit to be deterred for very long by arbitrary rules from above. In an instance when the Church clamped down on it quite heavily, Maltese corsairs simply swapped the flag around.
Gauci also recounts how Maltese corsairs got around an Ottoman 'ruse' that attempted to mask their ships to prevent corsair attacks.
And the most lucrative business was "human business", apparently. Human trafficking is the less polite term, and "slavery" would be the most direct way of describing what corsairs made the most money out of.
Merchandise was another key aspect of the corsairing business, which in this case meant they would raid Ottoman ships for goods like saffron, coffee, rice and wheat – essentials for Malta at the time since "we never really had great natural resources", which made the popularity and relevance of corsairing adventures all the more urgent to the populace at large.
So how did corsairs differ from pirates, exactly? Beyond the fact that of course, pirates plundered for their own gain and would never be expected to place their loot for public auction, Gauci explains that corsairs were bound to the law in a very real way.
Lucrative and adventurous this business may have been, but the corsair's life wasn't an easy one. Neither was it guaranteed that, wealth and rich patrons notwithstanding, the corsair had any form of coherent social standing within Maltese society at the time. Admitting that further research could shed more – and necessary – light on this particular aspect of the subject, Gauci figures that even the corsairs who gained great wealth may have been looked on as ostentatious pretenders.
It appears that, in the social hierarchy, corsairs were outliers at the very best. But this is precisely why Gauci sees them as such tantalizing research subjects. Growing out of an MA dissertation and bolstered by documents culled from the Notarial Archives, the subject gave Gauci a glimpse into historical Malta as it was lived at the time.
"Don't get me wrong, it's nice to read about the Grandmaster… but grandmasters were the exceptions to social rules at the time. Corsairs were actually professionals trying to make a living in Malta, and looking through their notarial deeds one gets a sense of their daily dealings and struggles." Gauci's selection of protagonists also points to a Malta that assimilated foreigners into its social fabric – ones that, like the Montenegrin Pietro de Giovanni Zelalich and the Corsican-born Guglielmo Lorenzi, made Malta their home base – and that paint a vivid and telling picture of the island at the tail-end of the Order's grasp over Malta.
But speaking of international flavour, Gauci's publication also belies another, more explicitly 'academic' purpose: that of setting the record straight on some misconceptions regarding Maltese corsairs, most of which happen to have been propagated by foreign academics who had taken an interest in the subject over the years: such as the idea that Corsairs are Catholic pirates, or that they were attacking Greek merchants ("There was a huge business in fake Maltese passports – and we have evidence of this").
Gauci assures me that he's not railing against pesky foreigners meddling into "my subject" – if anything, these misconceptions are more often than not borne out of the fact that there's such a vast amount of historical documents from the relevant period available locally – too much, perhaps, for an international researcher who's only capable to carve out time for a short visit.


Certainly one of one of the most widespread electrical wiring issues is regarding how to wire a swap. While employing switches in the home is fairly easy, wiring just one may well not be that straightforward for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You'll find different kinds of switches, but for this instance, let us say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly widespread switch (as well as the easiest).
There are three colors of wires within a usual single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and connect them about the terminal screws - a person on major as well as other to the bottom screw in the change. The white wire serves like a resource of uninterrupted power and it is generally linked into a mild coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Join the environmentally friendly wire to the ground screw of your respective change.
These measures would frequently be sufficient to help make an average swap get the job done and not using a trouble. Then again, if you usually are not self-assured that you simply can accomplish the activity adequately and safely and securely you better let the professionals do it as a substitute. After all, there is a purpose why this process is among the most common electrical wiring issues requested by most people.
For some explanation, how you can wire a ceiling fan is additionally certainly one of the most widespread electrical wiring issues. To simplify this task, you can use one change for any single ceiling fan. To wire the enthusiast, it really is just a make a difference of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan towards the black wire on the change. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire need to be linked for the black wire of your switch at the same time.
There are actually good reasons why they're probably the most generally asked electrical wiring inquiries. A single, lots of consider it truly is straightforward to try and do, and two, these are the popular electrical responsibilities at your home. But then you really should not place your basic safety in danger in your objective to economize. The stakes could even be considerably increased in the event you try and lower your expenses and do an electrical wiring position devoid of ample knowledge or knowledge.

Q: Why is the server sending an http 200 response instead of expected 206? History:
We are delivering .mp4 video via http partial request streaming.  It works fine except on iPad/iPhone and we have followed all of the recommended procedures for encoding .mp4 files for iOS devices so the issue is not the files themselves.  The video files are stored outside of the root of the web server so we have written code to open and stream the video upon request.  Our testing has brought us to the point of comparing the headers of our "streamed" video (working but not in IOS) and linking directly to the file (working in all instances but not a possible solution as we need to store files outside of web root). Here is a comparison of the working vs. non-working headers.

Notice that the non working version's second request stays at Status Code 200 and does not change to 206.   This is what we are focusing on as possibly being the issue but are at a loss.  Below is the code to open the file and send to server.  Note the way we are setting up the header.
 Dim iStream As System.IO.Stream

            ' Buffer to read 10K bytes in chunk:
            Dim buffer(10000) As Byte
            ' Length of the file:
            Dim length As Integer=0
            ' Total bytes to read:
            Dim dataToRead As Long=0

            Dim isPartialFile As Boolean = False
            Dim totalDelivered As Long = 0
            Dim totalFileSize As Long = 0

                ' Total bytes to read:
                dataToRead = iStream.Length
                totalFileSize = iStream.Length

 Response.ContentType = "video/mp4"
 Response.AddHeader("Accept-Ranges", "bytes")
 Response.AddHeader("Content-Range", "bytes 0-" + totalFileSize.ToString + "/" + totalFileSize.ToString)
 Response.AddHeader("Content-Length", totalFileSize.ToString)

' Read the bytes.
                While dataToRead > 0
                    ' Verify that the client is connected.
                    If Response.IsClientConnected Then
                        ' Read the data in buffer
                        length = iStream.Read(buffer, 0, 10000)

                        ' Write the data to the current output stream.
                        Response.OutputStream.Write(buffer, 0, length)

                        ' Flush the data to the HTML output.
                        Response.Flush()

                        ReDim buffer(10000) ' Clear the buffer
                        dataToRead = dataToRead - length
                    Else
                        isPartialFile = True
                        'record the data read in the database HERE (partial file)
                        'totalDelivered = totalFileSize - dataToRead

                        'prevent infinite loop if user disconnects
                        dataToRead = -1

                    End If
                End While

                iStream.Close()
                Response.End()

How do we modify the above code to make it work with IOS devices assuming that the issue is with the 206 response header?

Health statistics demonstrate that morbidity (sickness) and mortality (death) rates for specific diseases and other health issues (e.g., violence, accidents, homicide) are different for men and women. For example, men are diagnosed with and die from specific cancers, such as lung cancer and colon cancer, at higher rates than women do. Women are diagnosed with breast cancer at higher rates than men (though more than 1,000 men each year are diagnosed with breast cancer). While this difference in disease and disorder prevalence and mortality is interesting, it would be useful to know why there are differences between men and women.
Biological differences between men and women in areas such as hormones and immune response certainly can contribute to health differences between the sexes, but in order to fully explore their causes, other variables must be examined. An important area to consider when looking at health and gender is behavior. That is, do men and women behave differently when it comes to health? Health-related behaviors fall into two basic categories: preventative behaviors and direct health-related behaviors. For example, seeing a physician for an annual check-up and health screening, eating well, exercising, and maintaining low stress levels are preventative behaviors. Engaging in high-risk sports and smoking are direct health-related behaviors. Gender differences in health behaviors must be interpreted carefully. For example, frequency of doctor visits—which is higher among women—should not necessarily be interpreted as a reliable indicator of higher morbidity in women, since women tend to engage in more preventative health behaviors.
A second group of variables related to gender differences in health issues is made up of the confounding variables that your text refers to as artifacts. These include physician bias and how the health care system treats men and women. For example, men and women are screened differently, diagnosed differently, and treated differently for many health problems. It also includes differences in socioeconomic status, such as education and income, that correspond to health outcomes.
Lastly, gender differences in social roles may contribute to health differences. Physically demanding careers held more often by men may lead to greater health risks such as job-related injury. On the other hand, women's traditional role as family caretaker can also lead to health risks such as poor self-care and fatigue.
For this Discussion, you will analyze gender-related differences in physical health for a specific health issue of your choosing. You will not only explore its incidence and causes, but will also share potential strategies to mitigate risk.
· Review this week's Learning Resources, focusing on the gender-related differences and similarities in issues related to health.
· Select a physical health issue that interests you that has gender-related differences, and research this health issue using the Walden Library and other reputable academic sources.
· Search the literature for effective strategies to mitigate the risk of the health issue.

Award-Winning author is the biographer of
"Bitter Waters: The Pecos River's Struggles" published in 2016.
The Pecos River Resolution Corporation was the vision of PD Sams,
without him this project would not have been possible.
Perkins Daugherty Sams passed away on Sunday, January 3, 2010 in Midland, Texas at the age of 82.
Perkins was born on September 4, 1927 in Deland, Florida to Murray and Genevieve Sams. He attended the University of Virginia before enlisting in the Army and serving on the Manhattan project in Los Alamos, New Mexico. After the service he embarked on an oil and gas career for a five year tenure with Gulf Oil Corporation (1951-1956) in their Land and Exploration department before becoming an active independent in 1956. As an independent he worked many of the major hydrocarbon basins in the U. S., including the Permian Basin, Texas Gulf Coast, East Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, the Rocky Mountain Region, California and Alaska. He had offices in Denver, Midland and Houston and notable discoveries of the Moore-Sams Field in Louisiana, Indian Hills Field in North Dakota and Sand Dunes Field in Wyoming among others. In addition, he had international experience which included two concessions in Somalia and one in the Sudanese Red Sea. During his career, he has owned and managed a cable tool company, a pipeline company and an oil and gas holding company. He has owned an auto dealership, a newspaper and has been active in real estate including ranches in Colorado and Texas.
Perkins had many interests and in the pursuit of these interests always demanded the best, as Midlanders who knew his garden can attest. He assembled and collected the largest private collection of Gems and Minerals in the world. The Ann and Perkins Sams Gem and Mineral Collection which is housed in the Museum of Natural Science in Houston and is considered the best collection in the world. He was a fantastic cook and a great storyteller. He was an avid hunter and fisherman but also a conservationist which is noted by his management of his Taylor River property in Colorado and his service on the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission. Most recently, he created the Pecos River Resolution Corporation, a nonprofit created to study the river, determine its best use and resolve what is needed to accomplish that mission.
Perkins was preceded in death by his parents Murray and Genevieve Sams, his first wife Elizabeth Bradley Sams, his daughter Elizabeth Sams, his brother Francis Sams and a grandson, John Perkins Foretich.
He is survived by his wife of thirty years Ann Bronston Sams; his brother Murray Sams of Deland, Florida; his son, Lourcey Sams and wife, Lisa Sams of Midland, Texas, and their children, Malone Sams, Hilory Davis and Hunter Davis; his son, Roe Sams and wife, Terry Sams of Midland, Texas and their children, Jason Roe Williamson, Lauren Sams and Brooke Sams; his daughter, Sarah Sams of Melbourne Beach, Florida and her son, Russell Smith; his step son Benjamin Bronston of San Juan California; his step daughter Julie Chase and husband, Stewart Chase of Lanesborough, Massachusetts and their daughter, Eliza Chase and a great granddaughter, Libby Thomas.
The family wishes to thank the doctors, staff, and support personnel of the Cleveland Clinic, The Allison Cancer Center, Hospice of Midland, Dr. William Kiser and Dr. Gregory Bartha.

The other day, I dreamt I was in some zombie-filled post apocalyptic world with portals, potatoes, and tornados.
And I don't remember the significance of some of that either, but there was a very helpful dog that I was terrified of for part of the dream that may or may not have turned into a child and/or a teenaged scientist/wizard (looked like Allison Scagliotti) who was the key to saving us–if only we could find her again.
So the question I now present to you is: Do I write this story?

The sugar girls : tales of hardship, love and happiness in Tate & Lyle's East End
By: Barrett, Duncan, Calvi, Nuala
20 cm xi, 339 p. : map
Tales of Hardship, Love and Happiness in Tate & Lyle's East End Factories.
The Sugar Girls went straight to No.10 in the Sunday Times Bestseller List, spending five weeks in the top ten. 'On an autumn day in 1944, Ethel Alleyne walked the short distance from her house to Tate & Lyle's refinery on the shining curve of the Thames.
Looking up at the giant gates, Ethel felt like she had been preparing for this moment all her life.
She smoothed down her frizzy hair, scraped a bit of dirt off the corner of her shoe and strode through. She was quite unprepared for the sight that met her eyes ...' In the years leading up to and after the Second World War thousands of women left school at fourteen to work in the bustling factories of London's East End.
Despite long hours, hard and often hazardous work, factory life afforded exciting opportunities for independence, friendship and romance.
Of all the factories that lined the docks, it was at Tate & Lyle's where you could earn the most generous wages and enjoy the best social life, and it was here where The Sugar Girls worked. Through the Blitz and on through the years of rationing The Sugar Girls kept Britain sweet.
The work was back-breakingly hard, but Tate & Lyle was more than just a factory, it was a community, a calling, a place of love and support and an uproarious, tribal part of the East End.
From young Ethel to love-worn Lillian, irrepressible Gladys to Miss Smith who tries to keep a workforce of flirtatious young men and women on the straight and narrow, this is an evocative, moving story of hunger, hardship and happiness. Tales of adversity, resilience and youthful high spirits are woven together to provide a moving insight into a lost way of life, as well as a timeless testament to the experience of being young and female. www.thesugargirls.com

Some tissues of the eye are susceptible to damage due to their exposure to the outside environment and inability to regenerate. Immune privilege, although beneficial to the eye in terms of homeostasis and protection, can be harmful when breached or when an aberrant response occurs in the face of challenge. In this review, we highlight the role of the PMN (polymorphonuclear leukocyte) in different bacterial ocular infections that invade the immune privileged eye at the anterior and posterior segments: keratitis, conjunctivitis, uveitis, and endophthalmitis. Interestingly, the PMN response from the host seems to be necessary for pathogen clearance in ocular disease, but the inflammatory response can also be detrimental to vision retention. This "Pyrrhic Victory" scenario is explored in each type of ocular infection, with details on PMN recruitment and response at the site of ocular infection. In addition, we emphasize the differences in PMN responses between each ocular disease and its most common corresponding bacterial pathogen. The in vitro and animal models used to identify PMN responses, such as recruitment, phagocytosis, degranulation, and NETosis, are also outlined in each ocular infection. This detailed study of the ocular acute immune response to infection could provide novel therapeutic strategies for blinding diseases, provide more general information on ocular PMN responses, and reveal areas of bacterial ocular infection research that lack PMN response studies.

Summary of PMN responses to ocular bacterial infections. This figure illustrates PMN responses that have been observed in the different areas of the eye during conjunctivitis, keratitis, uveitis, and endophthalmitis. During conjunctivitis, PMNs damage the conjunctival epithelial barrier by accumulating and releasing infected epithelia onto the surface of the conjunctiva. The presence of PMNs during this infection causes a decrease in transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) and interleukin-5 (IL-5), which is suggested to downregulate IgA humoral responses [,]. The PMN response during keratitis includes a release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) to prevent the further dissemination of bacteria. PMNs have also been observed to bacteria in the cornea and produce IL-1β and IL-17 as part of their response [,,,,,]. In some uveitis models, PMNs are recruited quickly into the eye, and self-recruit by producing LTB4 and other proinflammatory molecules [,]. PMNs in the endophthalmitis also self-recruit by releasing recruiting chemokines such as TNF-α, but may also cause retinal damage by producing antimicrobial enzymes and reactive oxygen species (ROS) [,].

Two Dead; Two More Tested Positive; Jamaica Hits 38 Confirmed Covid-19 Cases
KINGSTON, Jamaica —The Ministry of Health and Wellness has confirmed the second death as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.
The ministry said the "recovering patient" at the University Hospital of the West Indies, was found unresponsive and was noted to have had a cardiac arrest. Resuscitation measures were unsuccessful, the ministry said.
Meanwhile, two more people have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. This brings the total number of confirmed cases in the island to 38.
According to the Ministry of Health and Wellness, results received last evening from the National Influenza Centre, showed that of the nine pending results, seven tested negative while two were positive for the virus.
The two new cases are a 48-year-old female from St Elizabeth with a travel history from Boston/Atlanta in the United States who arrived on March 24 and a 13-year-old made from Kingston and St Andrew, whose mode of transmission is unknown.
The ministry added that a second patient from St James has recovered from the virus and was released from the hospital.

Beric the Briton: A Story of the Roman Invasion (G. A. Henty)
This story deals with the invasion of Britain by the Roman legionaries. Beric, who is a boy-chief of a British tribe, takes a prominent part in the insurrection under Boadicea; and after the defeat of that heroic queen (in A. D. 62) he continues the struggle in the fen-country.
Ultimately, Beric is defeated and carried captive to Rome, where he is trained in the exercise of arms in a school of gladiators. Such is the skill which he there acquires that he succeeds in saving a Christian maid by slaying a lion in the arena, and is rewarded by being made librarian of the palace, and the personal protector of Nero. Finally he escapes from this irksome service, organizes a band of outlaws in Calabria, defies the power of Rome, and at length returns to Britain, where he becomes a wise ruler of his own people.

A Story of the Roman Invasion
This story deals with the invasion of Britain by the Roman legionaries. Beric, who is a boy-chief of a British tribe, takes a prominent part in the insurrection under Boadicea; and after the defeat of that heroic queen (in A. D. 62) he continues the struggle in the fen-country. Ultimately, Beric is defeated and carried captive to Rome, where he is trained in the exercise of arms in a school of gladiators.
The skill he acquires there are so great, Beric succeeds in saving a Christian maid by slaying a lion in the arena! He is rewarded by being made librarian of the palace and personal protector of Nero. Finally he escapes from this irksome service, organizes a band of outlaws in Calabria, defies the power of Rome, and at length returns to Britain, where he becomes a wise ruler of his own people.
Of all the G. A. Henty volumes, many boys we know have said this was the most exciting. Some boys have told us this was simply the most exciting adventure story they have ever read – from any author!
Henty's Writings on Ancient Times
Among his over 100 books, G. A. Henty only wrote four concerning the "B. C." (before Christ) era. This volume – Beric the Briton – is one of that elite selection. The others are:
The Cat of Bubastes
For the Temple
The Young Carthaginian
George Alfred Henty, better known as G.A. Henty, began his storytelling career with his own children. After dinner, he would spend an hour or two telling them a story that would continue the next day. Some stories took weeks to finish! A friend was present one day and, watching the spell-bound reaction of his children, suggested that Henty write down his stories so others could enjoy them. He did and, as the saying goes, the rest is history! Henty wrote 144 books as well as numerous stories for magazines and became known as "The Prince of Story-Tellers" and "The Boy's Own Historian." One of Mr. Henty's secretaries reported that he would quickly pace back and forth in his study, dictating stories as fast as the secretary could write them down!

Huge news: 'The Interview' will premiere online and in theaters on Christmas Day
Home › Movies
December 23rd, 2014 at 12:26 PM
Take that, hackers… whoever you are! Sony Pictures Entertainment's "The Interview" has apparently generated so much buzz that Sony can't bear to prevent its originally scheduled premiere on Christmas Day. After first caving and giving in to hackers' demands that the film be shelved, Sony has apparently changed its mind and will allow theaters to show the movie.
FROM EARLIER: Here's what critics who saw 'The Interview' are saying about it
The news comes from Tim League, founder of the Alamo Drafthouse chain of theaters, who said in a tweet that Sony is allowing the release of the movie.
"Breaking news: Sony has authorized screenings of THE INTERVIEW on Christmas Day," League said on Twitter. "We are making shows available within the hour."
According to a separate report from The Dallas Morning News, The Interview will also be made available online through an unnamed streaming video service, though it is unclear if Sony will allow people to stream the movie for free or if there will be a charge.
Sony is expected to confirm the news shortly.
UPDATE: Sony has confirmed a limited theatrical release is set for Christmas Day.


I founded the iconic Shoreditch Art Wall in 2011 and have had the pleasure to support many London-based and international artists and charities, and the wall has featured many major ad campaigns.
My Shoreditch Art Wall business was destroyed by a multi-billion dollar American- owned developer, financier and entertainment corporation.
Who am I, and what am I trying to do?
Why should you support my cause?
It might be too late to stop the exclusive Shoreditch Developments, but it's not too late to teach wealthy foreign developers like Cain International that might is not right.
What is my case about?
My case is about common decency, as well as, a broken legal arrangement. I had been legally using the Shoreditch Art Wall, a 60 sq. meter Victorian wall on Great Eastern Street, for business purposes since November 2011. I let artists and charities paint for free while charging advertisers. At first, when Cain International began the 'Stage' development, they encouraged me to continue renting out the wall because it deterred graffiti and the high-end art and advertising enhanced their luxury development and construction site. But after 15 months and without notice, in the middle of an ad campaign, they barred my access to the wall, which closed my business.
I had been operating the wall as an advertising business for 13 months, on the understanding that I had a 3-year agreement in place with Cain International, before they gave the wall to another company to run.
Cain International are powerful and arrogant.
When I emailed Cain International's director and 'Entrepreneur of the Year,' Jonathan Goldstein, to question why they had taken the wall away, he just emailed me back, "It's not your wall it's ours. You want to sue then please issue proceedings."
The other director of Cain International, Todd Boehly, CEO of Eldridge Industries, the multi-billion-dollar company that owns companies including the 'Los Angeles Dodgers,' 'Billboard Magazine' and the Los Angeles-based production house behind the 'House of Cards,' wouldn't return my calls.
It's time we all took a stand. We've tried to reason with the developers, to arrive at a fair solution, but they're not interested, so we need your help.
PLEASE DONATE whatever you can, to fund this vital case, and PLEASE HELP BY FORWARDING THIS APPEAL to anyone you feel would be interested in our cause.
Shoreditch Art Wall is a voice for artists and the community. It is too valuable to lose.
The Shoredich Art Wall has been a tremendous focus for community based arts. We applaud your work and that of the artists and hope it will long continue.

Hi guys, I'm selling off some stuff... I've gotten into plasma art which is a way more expensive hobby than lasers!
Next a 1.6W 638nm diode (9mm) from eBay that I bought for $110 a while back. It is a single beam diode, not the dual beam garbage floating around. It has never been taken out of its case, so it should be safe from ESD and other damage. I'm asking $85 shipped.
That is all for now. I'm going to add more later. Please PM me if you're interested, I accept PayPal.
Does the 638nm diode only or in a module?
It is only the diode.

Hybrid hero: Toyota's fourth-generation Prius arrives in the first quarter, but Hyundai's new Ioniq could take a bit out of its sales when it lands in the third quarter.
WITH Australia's continued shift away from conventional sedans, hatchbacks and wagons into the blossoming SUV market, the 2016 passenger-car launch diary has a few more quiet weeks compared with the high-rider and crossover calendar.
That said, there are still a few new arrivals that swim against the SUV tsunami, not least in the small passenger car market, which, despite sales dipping by 7.6 per cent last year, looks set to continue attracting a buyer that is after something practical, fun and affordable.
Offerings from the light and large ends of the scale are thinner on the ground this year and the corresponding popularity of large and compact SUVs is not likely to be just a coincidence.
MICRO AND LIGHT CARSAt the compact end of proceedings, 2016 gets off to a busy start with all of the confirmed new arrivals touching down in the first part of the year.
GM Holden's baby Spark drops the Barina prefix when it launches in the first quarter, and according to the company's executive director of sales, Peter Keley, the new city car "will be the best car in its segment, without a doubt".
The new Spark forms part of Holden's new-model onslaught that includes 24 new or heavily revised models arriving in showrooms by 2020.
GM's latest global micro-car will be sold in the United States, Europe and the United Kingdom with various monikers through Chevrolet, Opel and Vauxhall, but as GoAuto has exclusively revealed, the Australian-spec version has also undergone local engineering work to ensure it is better suited to our local conditions.
Mitsubishi's smallest offering is expected at about the same time when the facelifted Mirage rolls out, while Fiat's contender in the light segment also touches down with a revised 500.
Kia enters Australia's micro-car segment for the first time in quarter one with its Picanto hatch that has been on sale in global markets since 2012. An all-new version is likely to debut late this year or early 2017.
Chinese-owned British brand MG will re-enter the Australian market after a failed attempt under a previous distributor in about March with its MG3 hatch.
Mitsubishi Mirage – Q1SMALL CARSSMALL-CAR offerings also get off to a flying start with strong representation from the Korean brands throughout the year, starting with the facelifted Kia Cerato in the first quarter, the Hyundai Elantra in February and both the Ioniq hybrid and sporty Elantra SR at a point in quarter three.
Not to be outdone, the Japanese brands also put forward a number of new models in 2016, starting in March with Toyota's next-generation Prius hybrid pioneer.
The all-new version again carries a bold, futuristic design and is built using Toyota's lightweight 'New Generation Architecture' that will eventually underpin more than half its models, as well as some Lexus models.
Subaru's spicy WRX-based Levorg wagon arrives mid-year to fill a gap in the car-maker's line-up left by the now defunct Liberty GT load-lugger, and is expected to be priced around the mid-$40,000 mark.
Honda's 10th-generation Civic sedan is expected to give the company a boost after sales of the current model have dropped dramatically in recent years. For the first time in a number of generations, the Civic sedan and hatch will be built on the same platform and at the same Thai plant. The hatch is expected in 2017.
The third quarter will see the arrival of Suzuki's reborn Baleno hatch that will sit above the popular Swift in its line-up.
Holden marks the arrival of its European-sourced all-new Astra hatch later in the year, as part of its strategy to reinvigorate the brand with 24 new models arriving before 2020. The Australian-built Cruze continues, with a fresh Z-Series launching this month, but looks set to be replaced by a fully imported redesigned model next year.
The Europeans complete the 2016 small-car introductions with a couple of hot-hatch offerings in the form of Peugeot's 308 GTi in February and the manic Ford Focus RS in the middle of the year. Renault's Megane should come along in the third quarter, although no mention is made of a Renault Sport RS replacement at this stage.
Toyota Prius – MarchMID-SIZE AND LARGE CARSTHE year is most sedentary at the mid-size and large end of the passenger car market with just a few new models expected at this stage, starting with Ford's final Falcon and the swansong Sprint in quarter one.
While Ford is yet to release detailed information on the Sprint range, it will be attached to all XR performance variants, including XR6, XR6 Turbo and the XR8.
Skoda continues its push for a greater slice of market share with its all-new third-generation Superb range in quarter one. The Superb shares much of its underpinnings with Volkswagen's impressive new Passat and will be available in liftback and wagon guise.
Subaru will introduce an updated Liberty and Outback pair in February, just a year after the new generation was launched, and MG will relaunch its MG6 mid-sizer – now distributed by the brand's parent company SAIC Motor Corporation – in March. MG will introduce the facelifted version and it will likely be sourced from Thailand as opposed to China.

Back in the New Year I treated myself to a pattern bundle over on Ravelry with the hope that I could get a couple of the items knitted up. I chose the Texture is the New Black collection by Melanie Berg. The details on all the pieces are beautiful and I knew it would be a learning challenge for me.
I especially wanted to make the Qwist Hat and Mittens. Well I didn't get as far as I hoped, but I might have enough of this variegated yarn left to try the mittens.
This hat actually turned out to be a little big on me. I guess my gauge was slightly off. I love how it has turned out though, and yes it was a labour of love. The pattern is well written and all the different stitches explained within the text of the pattern. I had never done the twisted slip stitch before and struggled at first but soon got the hang of it.
The resulting pattern makes for a really beautiful and interesting design and I love the way it is incorporated into the ribbing around the brim.
The yarn is from Hedgerow Yarns on Etsy. It is a 4ply Alpaca/Merino Sock yarn. Lovely and soft with a gorgeous colour mix.
The Qwist Hat definitely took me a longer time to make than most hat projects because it requires more concentration, but I think the finished item is well worth it. The stitches are a joy to look at.
On to my second knit.... The Barley Hat by Tin Can Knits. On the other end of the difficulty scale to the Qwist Hat really. It is one of the beginner knits from their Simple Collection.
I really love this hat, it fits perfectly. I have worn it a few times now and it will be the first one I reach for when it gets chilly.
It has a garter stitch section which adds an interesting break in the plain stocking stitch. I chose to add the extra inch in length so it would be slouchier.
I used Cascade 220 superwash yarn for this and as with everything I have used it for, it produces a beautiful item with great stitch definition. It is soft and warm without being scratchy.
I intend on making the rest of the family one of these hats each, they are so quick and simple to make that I feel it is an achievable goal before winter arrives!
These photos were shot on our holiday to Scotland, so much beauty everywhere. A stunning time of year to visit that area. I will leave you with some photographs of when we visited the Queen's View.

Q: ASP.NET Core 3.1 ignoring System.Text.Json.JsonPropertyName when returning response body I recently changed my ASP.NET Core application to target 3.1 from 2.2.  I also changed from using Newtonsoft for JSON serialization to System.Text.Json.  In the process I have changed a number of response class properties to use JsonPropertyNameAttribute (from the Newtonsoft JsonPropertyAttribute).
However, I have now noticed the application is ignoring the JsonPropertyNameAttribute and serializing the property name to camel case instead.
For example:
[JsonPropertyName("handsets")]
public IEnumerable<GetHandsetResponse> AllHandsets { get; set; }

The response object field is being output as allHandsets in the response and not handsets as specified by the JsonPropertyName.
I'm guessing I'm missing something in the Startup.cs of the application to tell it to use System.Text.Json however I have no idea what.  What might I be missing?

A: It appears that deep down in the common code called from Startup.cs - ConfigureServices() of the application there is a call to .AddNewtonsoftJson() (on the returned IMvcBuilder type).  Removing that method call appears to properly revert the application back to using the System.Text.Json serializer.
