By the Numbers: Tallying up how much we spend on Valentine's Day

You know it's Valentine's Day when stores are awash in hearts and roses, chocolatiers and florists make a brisk trade, and restaurants and hotels tout candlelit dinners and romantic getaways. Even yoga gets all touchy-feely close to Feb. 14 with offers of couples yoga.
Whether you think the day is a Hallmark holiday or a wonderful way to show you care, here are some cold-hearted numbers about the cost of love on Valentine's Day.
$164: Spending on Valentine's
Canadians are expected to spend an average of $164 on Valentine's Day, found a survey by digital offers site RetailMeNot.ca, with more than 60 per cent saying they plan to pinch pennies more this year compared to last year.
The survey also found men are more lavish with their gifts than women, spending $219 vs. $109, and that dating couples spend more than married couples.
That makes sense, said Marina Adshade, a UBC economics professor and author of the book Dollars and Sex: How Economics Influences Sex and Love.
"If the purpose of Valentine's Day is to signal your level of commitment in the relationship — and I really believe it is — the longer you're together, the less necessary it is to spend a lot."
$681 million: For Fido and Fluffy
U.S. figures tracked by the National Retail Federation show consumers aren't just showering their romantic partners with material affection; they're spreading the love to family, friends, classmates, co-workers, even pets.
There are no similar Canadian figures, but expect the trend to show up north of the border as well.
"The nature of the holiday has changed," said Adshade. "It's no longer about people in romantic relationships. It has increasingly turned into a general gift-giving holiday."
Americans will spend nearly $681 million on treats and toys for their pets on Valentine's Day, down from last year's $703 million.
Because "it's important your cat knows you're thinking of it," added Adshade wryly.
5: Top romantic restaurants in B.C.
Dining out is still the most popular way couples celebrate Valentine's Day.
According to a survey by OpenTable, 45 per cent of Canadians wait until a week before Valentine's to book their table for two, while 10 per cent cut it close, making their restaurant reservations on the day of.
Italian cuisine was the top choice for lovebirds, followed by steak houses and Canadian cuisine, said respondents.
Out of 50 restaurants named most romantic in Canada, five made the list in our fair province.: Bishop's in Kitsilano; Five Sails Restaurant at the Pan Pacific Vancouver; Hart House in Burnaby; the Old Surrey Restaurant, and Quail's Gate winery's Old Vines Restaurant in Kelowna.

$240,826: Chocolate sold in B.C. in 2014
Celebrated chocolatier Thomas Haas has been spending all his waking hours at his Kitsilano and North Vancouver stores to meet demand.
"I cannot be there any more than I already am," he said with a laugh.
In the month leading up to Valentine's Day, Haas sells 15,000 pieces of chocolate a week. The frenzy usually climaxes on Feb. 13 and 14, the two busiest days of the year, though Haas thinks this year, with Valentine's falling on a Sunday, Friday may get more action.
"On weekdays, the man can pretend they're going to work and shop in the morning then bring it home later," he said. "I'm not sure how they will wake up Sunday morning and slip out."
We're sure love will find a way.
Doritos was the talk of the Internet last week for its clever marketing ploy: a bouquet of long-stemmed blooms with delicate petals of ketchup-flavoured tortilla chips delivered free to addresses in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal.
The campaign, launched by BBDO Toronto, caters to a long-ignored demographic: young men who rarely get bouquets, floral or otherwise, tossed their way.
The one-of-a-kind "roses" are not edible but the bouquets sold out within hours after the Tuesday launch. To avoid broken hearts, the folks at Doritos Canada created more bouquets for a second release on Thursday. Those were quickly snapped up, too.

Q: ASP.Net session debugger Is there any tool or sth to view Session with all key values elements in debug mode?
I can use immediate Window to check but I need to know Key. I would like to have clear view of what is actually in the session,

A: You can use the Watch window. Just type in "Session", hit enter and navigate through the tree.

A: Using the regular debugging tools, or perhaps a small custom output form etc you can easily loop through each session value using the Keys property of the session object in a for loop printing each value...
that would retrieve all the values currently stored in session.
Some code (pseudo-ish):
foreach (string key in Session.Keys)
{
    // Session[key].ToString();
}

But McGowan, who according to the Times was one of eight women to reach a financial settlement with Weinstein over harassment allegations, blasted Affleck's statement on Twitter, accusing him of lying about his knowledge of alleged abuses.
Since the scandal broke, McGowan has repeatedly claimed on her Twitter account that actors and executives who have claimed they were ignorant about Weinstein's alleged behavior are not telling the truth.
McGowan joins actress Jessica Chastain, who also claimed this week that stories of Weinstein's behavior "were everywhere" in Hollywood, and that those who denied knowledge of it in their statements were part of the problem.
Affleck himself was accused of groping allegations on Tuesday night by former One Tree Hill actress Hilarie Burton.

IRGC Rejects Rumors about Top Commander's Martyrdom
TEHRAN (defapress) – Spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) General Ramezan Sharif dismissed as a lie recent rumors that Commander of IRGC Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh has been martyred in an Israeli missile attack on Syria.
Publish Date: 24December 2019 - 11:33
"As has been repeatedly stated, the enemies of the Islamic Revolution and the Iranian nation pursue their empty dreams and evil ambitions in falsehood and rampant propaganda through spreading false and baseless news," General Sharif said in a statement on Monday night.
"Commander Hajizadeh is in full health and carrying out his missions," the IRGC spokesman added.
He further said "the public opinion's inattention" to such rumors proves that the enemies' moves to spread lies have become "threadbare".
In a recent report, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that probably three people of Iranian nationality were killed in an Israeli missile attack on Sunday night that hit the suburb of Aqraba and the nearby Sayyida Zeinab neighborhood.
In recent years, Israel has carried out hundreds of airstrikes and missile attacks in Syria against the positions of pro-Syrian forces.
Since the outbreak of war and foreign militancy in Syria in 2011, Iran has stood by the Syrian government and supported its people against terrorist groups, including Daesh (ISIS or ISIL).
Over the past years, the Syrian army has managed to liberate many of the areas occupied by terrorists and has begun the reconstruction process.

'It's very important to me' – City midfielder reveals his hope for the season ahead
Tom Trybull, sporting City's new third kit at Charlton, looks set to play a key role for the Canaries this season Picture: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images - Credit: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd
A year is a long time in football – as Norwich City midfielder Tom Trybull knows all too well.
This time in 2017, the 25-year-old was on trial at Norwich City and desperately bidding for a contract – while simultaneously catching up after a late start to pre-season.
This time around, the former Werder Bremen midfielder has had a productive and barely interrupted preparation schedule – something he hopes will stand him in good stead for his second crack at the second tier.
'I'm really happy that I had the full pre-season this year,' acknowledged Trybull. 'That was really important for me, to go through this without any injuries or big problems – to get the benefit for this season – and I've enjoyed it.
'I was really happy with how I settled in last season and last year. I want to go further on with these performances and get better now.
'It's very important to me to play as many games as possible, and that's why it was so important for me to get this whole pre-season.'
• MORE: Daniel Farke has no problem with Norwich City being brought back down to earth at Charlton
While Trybull could no doubt have done without missing so many games through some nasty injuries last season, he can at least offer any of head coach Daniel Farke's new signings a few words of wisdom as the new campaign arrives.
'I had to find out on my own what it means to play in the Championship every week – or every few days – and that's what I've said,' continued Trybull.
'Pre-season is one thing, the Championship is another. That's why I've got some experience already – but our new players have a lot of talent that they will show the Norwich crowd and in away games, also in to the team. They will have a big impact on our side.
'You can see already, that is what will happen.'
While the friendlies have been where supporters get to make their minds up first-hand on City and any squad changes, there will have been just as many clues – if not more – at Colney throughout City's tough pre-season training schedule, which is now entering it's final week as City prepare for their big Championship opener at Birmingham on Saturday.
Trybull added: 'The coach and his staff have a good feeling about how our bodies are feeling.
'It's different from now. The next few days we will settle down a little bit and calm down the sessions, because next Saturday we have to be there on point.'

PMI just released the Benefits Realization Management practice guide this month which provides comprehensive but still easily consumable coverage of a benefits management framework covering principles, practices and roles. There is no doubt that benefits management is a critical competency for any company whether they are for profit or not-for-profit but it is also not well implemented in many organizations.
An unwillingness to hold sponsors accountable for expected benefits. While punitive measures may create a culture of fear and drive otherwise effective sponsors away but there still needs to be some way of ensuring that sufficient due diligence has gone into identifying benefits. Independent verification of benefits analysis is one way to reduce inflated expected outcomes without scaring off potential sponsors.
A lack of objective definition of the benefits expected to be realized when executing a given investment. Even for initiatives with a financial benefits motive, it may be difficult to demonstrate causality between the outputs of the project and expected financial outcomes as there will usually be more multiple projects with the same types of measures (e.g. increase revenue, reduce costs).
Limited monitoring of expected benefits over the life of an investment. Projected benefits like scope, schedule and cost baselines represent what is expected at the point in time when they were defined so ongoing forecasting is crucial. Without this, delivery might be successful within approved scope, schedule and cost constraints, but the project's ROI is never realized. Sometimes there is no owner identified for tracking benefits during the life of the project while other times an owner has been anointed but is ineffective in that role or is unwilling to declare that the project won't deliver expected benefits proactively.
Benefits realization timelines are excessively long. The more time which passes between the end of a project and when expected benefits should materialize, the more fragile those benefits will be due to the impacts of internal and external changes.
Poor project delivery. While the outcomes of a given project may not change, if the costs or timeline for realizing those increase significantly due to delivery issues, the project's ROI will be worse than expected.
For leaders looking to improve benefit realization from their project investments, doing some root cause analysis to identify why projects aren't generating expected benefits can help them to focus their improvement efforts.

Large Hadron Collider Beauty releases first dataset to the public

The Large Hadron Collider Beauty (LHCb) experiment at CERN is the world's largest experiment in quark flavor physics with an extensive particle physics program. His data from Large Hadron Collider (LHC) Runs 1 and 2 have so far been used for more than 600 scientific publications, including a number of important discoveries.
While all the scientific results of the LHCb collaboration are already publicly available through open access articles, the data used by the researchers to produce these results is now available to anyone around the world through the open data portal of the LHCb. CERN. The release of the data is part of CERN's open science policy, reflecting the values of transparency and international collaboration enshrined in the CERN Convention for over 60 years.
"The data collected at LHCb is a unique legacy for humanity, especially since no other experiment covers the region that LHCb examines," says Sebastian Neubert, LHCb Open Data Project Manager. "It was achieved through a tremendous international collaborative effort, which was publicly funded. Therefore, the data belongs to the company."
The data sample made available represents 20% of the total data set collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011 and 2012 during LHC Run 1. It comprises 200 terabytes containing information obtained from proton-proton collision events filtered and recorded with the detector.
The LHCb collaboration preprocessed the data by reconstructing experimental signatures, such as charged particle trajectories, from the raw information provided by its complex detection system. The data is filtered, classified according to around 300 processes and decays, and made available in the same format used by LHCb physicists.
Analyzing LHC data is a complex and time-consuming exercise. Therefore, to facilitate analysis, samples are accompanied by detailed documentation and metadata, as well as a glossary explaining several hundred special terms used in pre-processing. Data can be analyzed using dedicated LHCb algorithms, available as open source software.
The data is suitable for different types of physics studies and can be downloaded directly by anyone. "It is intended for use by professional scientists and its interpretation requires knowledge of particle physics, but everyone is welcome to try it," continues Neubert. "It would be great if the data inspires new research directions and is used by researchers in other fields, such as data science and artificial intelligence. We look forward to hearing from data users what they find."
Further releases of data from the LHCb collaboration are planned for the future.

A cartoon marking the St Paul's Institue 'Climate Action' post here.
Hmm, she told some whoppers during her speech or maybe it's monumental naivety? You'd think that those like her would be bored of their own irrelevance by now, but maybe they're hoping for the crowds of climate sinners to repent and flock to the church for guidance? Unstable ground indeed!
She is the one who in Cancune in Mexico, opened the jamboree (can't bring myself to say proceedings) with a prayer to an ancient Mayan god, so that set the level of scientific debate from the off. She also deserves an Oscar for her performances at being able to turn the tears of fear on like a tap, as no other actress can come close on that score!!!
Alan: no other actress? Well, a couple of weeks ago I saw King Lear at the National Theatre. Lear's daughter Goneril was played by Kate Fleetwood; she looked remarkably like Christiana Figueres. See this.
Tiny: bored maybe. But think of the large (untaxed) salary and benefits.


A family climb up Cholla Trail was the perfect way to celebrate our first sunny day although the coldest day of the year in the dessert. We were lucky to be able to walk to this trailhead that climbs up Camelback Mountain from our hotel. We began the hike close to sunset and so only made it up to the first lookout. The view stretched to the left of where our journey began in Phoenix, to the golf course just below us where my husband had playing that morning, beyond to Scottsdale on the left where my daughter and I had explored earlier that morning, and way out to snow capped Superstition Mountain that we would explore later on this trip. What an amazing view.
We finished our day with dinner in Old Scottsdale with a restaurant chosen by my daughter, Mission Restaurant. We were lucky to get a last minute reservation at the shared table and even luckier that a table opened up for us in this packed restaurant serving delicious modern Latin cuisine. Uniquely prepared dishes wowed us from the appetizers, to our main courses, to dessert.
There is usually a Thursday night ArtWalk but not tonight. Instead we wandered the deserted streets in the freezing temperatures enjoying the freedom to browse into windows without crowds.
Although our New Years was a huge disappointment (I chose to not post that pitiful evening), the first day of the new year was perfect!
If it were not for the continuous downpour added with cold temperatures, the road taken that day would have been very different. The free tickets began the turn and we decided to pursue. And what to our welcoming surprise then an adored sculptor of mine to welcome us – Anna Hyatt Huntington – (for those who follow my posts you may immediately recognize this name – the Visionary behind Brookgreen Gardens that we visited this past summer).
Add allowing a young artist such as my daughter to freely take pictures in some galleries added to the experience. Stuffiness was not present in this museum. We fell in love with the works of Philip Campbell Curtis and were certainly more then just a little intrigued by his paintings.
Rain or No rain. Free or Not Free. Add this to your list of places to visit in Phoenix.
Wandering around viewing a world class art collection while listening to audio describing the piece of art – a French tapestry, a Flemish painting, a Navajo rug, ancient fossils.. and slippers on our feet sipping on hot tea while the rain taps on the roof above. Where in the world are we? At our hotel of course! And after completing such a wonderful tour one is awarded free tickets to the Phoenix Art Museum. Now how wonderful is that! This would rank #2 on our list of things to do at that Phoenician!
What a great ride! A trail that loops! Historical sights to see along the way! Beautiful scenery! This trail has it all! Once again Traillink (and the bikers who contribute reviews) guided us to an amazing trail – The Ironton Rail Trail.
We began our journey at Hokendauqua Park – easy to find and provides easy access to the trail. You wind through the playground and then connect with the trail. The trail is paved at this point and is for the most part flat with just a slight incline.
The highlight to the first part of this loop (in addition to the great scenery and the Lehigh river!) are the large cement kilns at Saylor Park. This is a great place to stop and take a break and explore the history of these kilns. These are the only vertical Portland cement Kilns in existence! They were only used for this purpose for a short period of time – 1893-1904 – but during that time Lehigh Valley produced 3/4 of the cement in the United States! (Apparently at one time there was a museum interconnecting the kilns but that is no longer accessible. There is a large fence around the nine kilns). Really neat! And the trail continues with historical markers, remains of the old railroad, and even a caboose that once road on this railroad!
We decided to take the spur – adding on another 6 miles roundtrip – another beautiful ride past cement historical buildings. Highlight for me was one of the old structures that was turned into a beautiful bird blind (picture up top).
We joined back up with the loop and continued on the loop to our starting point. This is a beautiful ride to take right now as the leaves are changing. The entire trail is well maintained and combined with the amazing scenery and historical sights, one does not even realize they have already completed a 12 mile journey.
This is my most favorite event in Doylestown. If you've never been to Doylestown, it is a great small town located in Bucks County. It is about an hour outside of Center City Philadelphia. There are great shops, restaurants, and bars. There are wonderful musuems and parks too. I will need to write another post about all my favorite things . — True old charm. For the Arts Festival the streets are closed down in the center of town and filled with artists, food, and music. What makes this art festival VERY unique is the Pro Cycling. Saturday is a race through Bucks County and Sunday is the Thompson Criterium of Doylestown – 60 miles of incredible bike riding down hills and steep curves encircling the Arts Festival. We make sure to watch this every year – stationing at a few key exciting spots and also wandering around. Whether you come with family or as a couple (and enjoy a few of my favorite spots in town… soon to be posted) this is a great day to visit Doylestown! (The date changes each year but it is sometime in the first few weeks of September).
The apples are ripening and the pumpkins are growing. The weather begins to get cooler and the humidity at last will disappear. The leaves have already begun to change and the mums are starting to open again. Oh….we are just a few days away from the official start to my most favorite season in Pennsylvania – Autumn! Over the next few months I will journey across my countryside and visit the festivals, apple orchards, and pumpkin patches. I will ride the rail trails, kayak the lakes, and hike the trails all over Easter Pennsylvania. Menus will change to roasted butternut squash, apple crisps, and of course our favorite pumpkin beers. A visit to our favorite brewery, Weyerbacher, will most certainly be on the list of things to do to pick up some of our favorite Imperial Pumpkin Ale… This in my opinion is the best season in Pennsylvania and a great time to visit if you are thinking of taking a weekend trip to visit the countryside surrounding Philadelphia!
It turned out working well for there was not much see to along the way. We had planned to stop in Wilmington NC to see where they film the Dome but the traffic was bad and Matilda (our GPS) diverted us another way down a lonely rode through the countryside. With little to see but crop after crop of tobacco (at the time we had no idea what it was) — Our one stop was for our first batch of Boiled Peanuts along with some local produce.
On our journey north we had many destinations in mind to stop for a quick visit. And the first, Woodbury Outlets was such that. However the next stop along the journey now that we had left the busy highway was Storm King. And there we spent the afternoon amazed by the sculptures we saw. Each twist down the wooded path would lead to another. And down the rolling green hills the sculptures were even larger in size. We quickly realized many were just as amazing from afar … some even better. We spent hours only just getting through the Meadows covered in black eyed Susans and never even made it to the south side. An amazing visit and one worth exiting the highway to enjoy even when still many miles still to go…….

Firing 6,000 Bombs a Day, Ukraine Admits it Has Lost The War In Terms of Artillery Against Russia
A woman walks past a destroyed Russian tank in the town of Trostsyanets
International Military - Ukrainian troops are running out of ammunition and can only rely on Western-supplied weapons in the battle against Russia. The statement was made by a top Ukrainian intelligence official. "It's an artillery war now," Ukraine's deputy head of military intelligence Vadim Skibitsky told The Guardian on Friday (10/6/2022).
"Long-range combat will determine the outcome of the conflict between the two countries, and we lost in artillery," he said. "Ukrainian forces are currently firing 5,000 to 6,000 artillery shells a day, and their supplies are rapidly running out," the intelligence official said.

He explained, "We have almost exhausted all of our artillery munitions and are now using standard 155 caliber NATO rounds." Kiev also has heavy weaponry in the Donbass, nearly running out of Soviet and Russian-designed artillery it had at the start of the Moscow military operation, according to Skibitsky.
"Ukraine has one artillery, compared to 10 to 15 Russian artillery pieces," he said. "Everything now depends on what the West gives us," the intelligence official said. He explained, "Our Western partners have given us about 10% of what they have." Skibitsky also asked Kiev's foreign backers to supply long-range rocket systems that could destroy Russian artillery from afar.

The US and its allies are reluctant to provide Ukraine with this type of weaponry for fear it could lead to direct conflict between Russia and NATO.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that if Kiev finally gets a long-range missile, "We will draw the right conclusions and use our weapons, which we have sufficient, to attack objects that we have not attacked." "Ukraine needs the West to supply as many as 300 multiple launch rocket systems to level the playing field in the Donbass," Mikhail Podolyak, an aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, said on Thursday.
Earlier this week, Russia's Defense Ministry said 3,443 Ukrainian tanks and other Ukrainian armored vehicles, 1,807 field artillery and mortars, 1,139 drones, 478 multiple rocket launchers, 190 aircraft and 129 helicopters had been destroyed since the launch of the military operation.
Russia attacked the neighboring country in late February, following Ukraine's failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreement, which it first signed in 2014, and Moscow's eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
The Minsk Protocol brokered by Germany and France was designed to give breakaway regions special status within the Ukrainian state.
The Kremlin has since demanded that Ukraine formally declare itself a neutral nation that will never join the US-led NATO military bloc. Kiev insists Russia's attack is completely unwarranted and denies claims it plans to retake the two republics by force.

Director Paul Feig's 2016 Ghostbusters remake met with intense, and often vitriolic, criticism right from the first trailer, which garnered an unprecedented number of dislikes. Much of that criticism focused on the production's choice to use female leads, a decision that Feig has defended by saying that many female viewers reacted positively to the film. However, he has now stated that he wishes that the film hadn't turned into a "cause."
"It was a great regret in my life that the movie didn't do better, 'cause I really loved it," Feig continued. "It's not a perfect movie. None of my movies are perfect. I liked what we were doing with it. It was only supposed to be there to entertain people."
In June, original Ghostbusters star and co-writer Dan Aykroyd criticized Feig's inability to listen to studio criticism as one of the big reasons for the film's financial failure, which has put a halt to potential sequels, at least for now. Ivan Reitman, who directed the original movies, has not ruled out any more live-action sequels, though the franchise is currently focusing on developing its animated instalments.
Ghostbusters is at 73 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 60 on Metacritic. The film grossed $229 million against a production cost of $144 million. The film is now available on DVD, Blu-ray, 3D Blu-ray and 4K.

Q: How to use SSL with Vue CLI for local development? I understand to use https with Vue CLI I can set "https: true" under devServer in a vue.config.js file, but I also need a self signed certificate.
I've tried generating a self signed one using OpenSSL and using the following in my vue.config.js file to target:
const fs = require('fs');

module.exports = {
    devServer: {
        port: '8081',
        https: {
            key: fs.readFileSync('./certs/server.key'),
            cert: fs.readFileSync('./certs/server.cert'),
        },
    },
};

Chrome confirms it's using my certificate but still shows https as "Not secure"

How can I make chrome assess my self signed certificate as secure when providing it via Vue CLI?

A: Simply enter this in your Chrome
chrome://flags/#allow-insecure-localhost

Set to Enabled, restart Chrome, and you're good to go.

A: My problem was that everybody talks about putting the cert properties in the "https" child configuration node, but this doesn't work, you hve to put it in the devServer config node:
module.exports = {
devServer: {
    port: '8081',
    https: {
       key: fs.readFileSync('./certs/server.key'),
          --> this is WRONG

This is the correct way:
module.exports = {
  devServer: {
    disableHostCheck: true,
    port:8080,
    host: 'xxxxxx',
    https: true,
    //key: fs.readFileSync('./certs/xxxxxx.pem'),
    //cert: fs.readFileSync('./certs/xxxxxx.pem'),
    pfx: fs.readFileSync('./certs/xxxxxx.pfx'),
    pfxPassphrase: "xxxxxx",
    public: 'https://xxxxxx:9000/',
    https: true,
    hotOnly: false,
   }
}

A: Use the network path rather than loopback or localhost. For example
https://192.168.2.210:8080/
works fine, while
https://localhost:8080/ and https://127.0.0.1:8080 balk at the certificate problem.

A: You are doing right, but you also have to add the self-signed cert inside certification authorities of your browser, as it is self-signed.
Instead of using a self-signed certificate, you can also create a root certificate, and then generate a localhost or other server identifier certificate. I recommend this solution because this way you can generate certificates for all non production environments and import only one custom certification authority.
There are many sites where you can find how to do it, one of them I think it's very clear is How to create an HTTPS certificate for localhost domains. Basically you have to follow these steps described in that link:

*

*Generate certification authority key:
openssl req -x509 -nodes -new -sha256 -days 1024 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout RootCA.key -out RootCA.pem -subj "/C=US/CN=Example-Root-CA"
Here we have to change the parameters as we wish, mainly -sub parameter.

*Generate certificate for certification authority
openssl x509 -outform pem -in RootCA.pem -out RootCA.crt

*Generate key for localhost
openssl req -new -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout localhost.key -out localhost.csr -subj "/C=US/ST=YourState/L=YourCity/O=Example-Certificates/CN=localhost.local"
Where you have to change -subj as you need or leave it that way.

*Generate localhost certificate by creating a certificate config file and request openssl to generate it.

This is the certificate config file:
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer
basicConstraints=CA:FALSE
keyUsage = digitalSignature, nonRepudiation, keyEncipherment, dataEncipherment
subjectAltName = @alt_names
[alt_names]
DNS.1 = localhost
DNS.2 = fake1.local
DNS.3 = fake2.local

And this is the command to generate the certificate:
openssl x509 -req -sha256 -days 1024 -in localhost.csr -CA RootCA.pem -CAkey RootCA.key -CAcreateserial -extfile domains.ext -out localhost.crt

Once you have the certificate, you have to import the certification authority on your preferred browser. You can, also, follow 3 and 4 steps for every server or virtual machine you need for development and use them without needing to import new certification authorities in your browser.

A: If you have legit certificates Chad Carter gives a good explanation here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/57226788/2363056
The steps are as follows:

*

*create vue.config.js in your projects root (if not there already)

*add the following code to it:

const fs = require('fs')

module.exports = {
    devServer: {
    port:8080,
    host: 'example.com',
    https: true,
    key: fs.readFileSync('/etc/ssl/keys/example.com.pem'),
    cert: fs.readFileSync('/etc/ssl/keys/example.com/cert.pem'),
    https: true,
    hotOnly: false,
    }
}

*when serving your project, ensure https is enabled (ie. $ vue-cli-service serve --https true)

A: I use the mkcert to create trusted https cert on windows OS.
mkcert.

Last thing you should do is openning your OS explorer, click the install.bat file

'A Hero' Review: Debts No Honest Man Can Pay
"The final temptation is the best treason: to do the suitable deed for the improper motive." "A Hero," the brand new movie by the Iranian writer-director Asghar Farhadi, appears to circle round these strains from T.S. Eliot's "Murder within the Cathedral," spinning Eliot's commentary about morality right into a squall of questions on ethics and motives.
At the middle of the film is what seems like an unambiguous act of decency. A person — the title character, an indication painter named Rahim Soltani (Amir Jadidi) — arranges for the return of 17 gold cash to their rightful proprietor. What could possibly be improper with that? What may go improper as a consequence?
Quite so much, because it occurs. Nothing on this nerve-racking, intricately plotted fable of contemporary life is so simple as we or the characters would possibly want. Rahim, who has been imprisoned due to a debt, desires to clear the books and restart his life. We meet him firstly of a busy two-day furlough, as he bounces from one encounter to a different, hoping to safe his freedom by settling along with his creditor, Hossein (Ali Reza Jahandideh), a print-shop proprietor who's the brother-in-law of Rahim's former spouse.
The entwining of household ties and enterprise relations is a central reality of Iranian life as Farhadi understands it. When love, honor and loyalty are at subject, cash isn't far-off. To paraphrase Homer Simpson with reference to alcohol, it's the reason for and the answer to most of life's issues.
Rahim's ex, who stays unseen, is making ready to remarry, and Rahim hopes to do the identical. Their son, Siavash (Saleh Karimai), who has a extreme speech obstacle, lives with Rahim's sister Malileh (Maryam Shahdaie) and her husband, Bahram, who're Rahim's most important allies. His girlfriend, Farkhondeh (Sahar Goldoust), is the one who discovered the gold cash, and the couple's preliminary plan is to promote them to repay sufficient of the debt to fulfill Hossein.
Plan B — discovering the rightful proprietor — is Rahim's concept, and whether or not it's an impulsive, impatient act of conscience or one thing extra calculated is a supply of a lot complication and suspense. What appears like a Hollywood ending arrives in the midst of the film, as Rahim's selflessness is rewarded with precisely what he has given up.
The return of the cash turns into a information story and a social media sensation, the form of feel-good episode that no person can resist. The jail authorities are glad to take advantage of Rahim's heroism for their very own functions, as is a charitable basis that presents him with a plaque and the promise of a job. Donations stream in, and stress grows on Hossein to let bygones be bygones.
Why wouldn't he? Rahim is tall and good-looking, with an keen smile and an ingratiating method. But Hossein isn't alone in resisting his appeal. A fellow inmate sneeringly compliments Rahim on his talent at fooling everybody. Farkhondeh's grumpy brother thinks he's a loser. A possible employer insists on pulling at unfastened threads within the story of the cash, demanding proof of each element and treating what appear like minor fibs as proof of a bigger fraud.
Are they? The extra time you spend with Rahim, the extra you marvel if the skeptics — who at first appear bureaucratic, coldhearted or vindictive — might need a degree. Do his occasional outbursts bespeak a violent temperament? Does his hangdog demeanor cowl up a necessary dishonesty? Or is he simply, as he claims to be, a superb man who can't appear to catch a break?
Five Movies to Watch This Winter
Card 1 of 5
1. "The Power of the Dog": Benedict Cumberbatch is incomes excessive reward for his efficiency in Jane Campion's new psychodrama. Here's what it took for the actor to develop into a seething alpha-male cowboy.
2. "Don't Look Up" : Meryl Streep performs a self-centered scoundrel in Adam McKay's apocalyptic satire. She turned to the "Real Housewives" franchise for inspiration.
three. "King Richard": Aunjanue Ellis, who performs Venus and Serena Williams's mom within the biopic, shares how she turned the supporting position right into a talker.
four. "Tick, Tick … Boom!": Lin-Manuel Miranda's directorial debut is an adaptation of a present by Jonathan Larson, creator of "Rent." This information will help you unpack its many layers.
5. "The Tragedy of Macbeth": Several upcoming motion pictures are in black and white, together with Joel Coen's new spin on Shakespeare's "Macbeth."
In a way, these questions — the query of whose facet you have to be on — are misdirected. Farhadi is much less within the essence of who individuals are than within the causes and outcomes of what they do. The winner of two Oscars (for "A Separation" in 2012 and "A Salesman" 5 years later), he makes movies with the self-discipline and perception of a first-rate novelist. "A Hero" is as anxious and swift as a thriller, with the density and observational acuity of a 19th-century three-decker.
Even incidental characters are vivid and complex, and in each family, workplace and storefront you're conscious of the impinging presence of untold tales. (You are additionally, not by the way, within the presence of a fully first-rate ensemble of actors.) Late within the movie, a lady reveals up, accompanied by her younger daughter, on the workplaces of the inspiration whose fame Rahim has burnished after which tarnished. She is pleading with the director for assist in saving her husband from execution, and in a couple of scenes we develop into conscious of what number of different motion pictures are implied by and enfolded inside this one. What's Farkhondeh's story? What about Hossein's daughter, who carries the deepest grudge in opposition to Rahim? And what about Rahim himself, as husband and father?
The questions preserve going, and by the point the narrative reaches its (bittersweet, satisfying) conclusion, it's possible you'll resolve that the narrative wasn't actually the purpose. Early within the movie, Rahim visits Bahram at his office, an historical necropolis carved into the facet of a cliff. It's lined in scaffolding, which is one thing of a metaphor for the plot of this ingenious and engrossing film — a sequence of ladders and passageways that each cowl and grant entry to mysteries of life and demise.

When Tangled Web Theatre Productions was established as an independent company in 2013, it's aim was primarily to bring to the stage some of the many fine plays that were constantly being overlooked by Melbourne theatre companies.
Our inaugural production and Australian premiere of Retreat by James Saunders along with our amateur premiere production of Other People's Money by Jerry Sterner are both a case in point. Here were two high quality well-written award winning plays that had once played in full houses to rave reviews and critical acclaim but were no longer getting their due recognition.
We then followed up with two more Australian premiere productions, namely Don Bradman Lives Next Door, written by the prolific Australian playwright and author Cenarth Fox and then the comedy Killjoy by Jerry Mayer, the latter being a joint production with Have You Seen It Productions.
For roughly the next 12 months we were plagued with production, casting and venue problems causing the cancellation of two productions.
In early 2017, we embarked on a rather ambitious programme of producing three plays in six months.
The first of the trio was The Vandal by Hamish Linklater. It was directed by Michelle Swann and was another Australian premiere for Tangled Web Theatre.
This was followed by The Mercy Seat by Neil La Bute. It was our 2017 VDL awards entry and was directed by Natasha Boyd.
Our third and final production for 2017 was the Harold Pinter classic Betrayal. It was directed by Bruce Cochrane and was a joint production in association with Avid Theatre.
Overall, it was quit a successful, if not at times, a hectic six months to finish off 2017.
Contributing greatly to the success of all three productions, were the efforts of Natasha Boyd and Michael Fenemore.
Tangled Web Theatre also acknowledges and thanks the contribution made by all our directors, cast members and production crews of all productions.
Due to health issues with crippling hip and knee joints, Tangled Web will be out of action during 2018.
Towards the end of the year, we should be in a position to give you details of our 2019 programme.

Kevin has had an extensive background in theatre and theatre management.
Between 1965 and 1985, he was a founding member, finance director, resident stage manager and a consistent performer for the no longer operating Tait Theatre Productions Melbourne.
As an unfunded independent company, they ceased operations in 1985 when the building in Carlton they were located in was sold to developers for future university student accommodation.After an inactive period of more than 20 years, Kevin returned to the stage in 2009 performing in five musicals with Nova Music Theatre in Nunawading.
He has also performed recently for the Essendon Theatre Company as well as Strathmore Theatre Arts Group (STAG). Kevin is currently a member of the STAG committee.
He retired from acting in 2013 with the view of producing and financing low cost productions requiring small casts and with minimal stage settings.
This policy has consequently created opportunities for playwrights, directors and other like thinking producers to work with Tangled Web on projects that would otherwise be most unlikely to make it onto the stage.
