Traditionally, the song Auld Lang Syne is sung by party-goers when the clock strikes 12 midnight on New Years eve. The title words of this song roughly mean, long, long ago. Wrote in the 1700s, it became a traditional folk song in Scotland and eventually spread to many countries including the United States.
The song contains a beautiful sentiment of friendship.
The YouTube below has a wonderful male vocalist singing Auld Lang Syne. He is not identified on the YouTube site. But nonetheless, he has a crystal clear voice and sings with his heart. The video carries the song's words against a black screen. It only lasts five minutes but it probably will stir some emotions of times long, long ago.
vocal artist as Dougie MacLean from his album Tribute.
My family has been interested in folk art for several years. Not only for its aesthetic, naive beauty but also for the stories sometimes associated with them.
Last summer my youngest daughter and twelve year old granddaughter came for a visit. Twelve year old Whitney had a light in her mind that she wanted to, "fire up." while she visited.
She asked her mother if she could buy some acrylic paints and canvas boards at our local art store. We had no idea what she was up too. She sat at the kitchen table with her newly bought paints and tried her hand at folk art. She sat for many hours silently working on the paintings. When through she presented two paintings to me for my folk art collection. I love them.
I thought she came up with some nice examples of folk art. Believe me, they are now displayed in a very visual part of my home. They now reside among some old Kentucky crocks on one of my vintage benches. The whole montage fits well together.
Children sometimes begin their interest in folk art from what they see parents or relatives constructing or collecting. Much folk art is imagined, made, and loved without words . . . it will have gathered into itself something of its creator's freedom (Henry Glassie, 31). It contains variability and tradition.
Some folk art constructions include; woman's handwork (quilting, weaving, etc.) sometimes passed down to daughters -- hand woven basketry often made by parents as well as sons and daughters -- carving skills from father's hands to hands of sons and daughters -- this is but a small sample. Folk art is a widely diverse dimension. Not always passed down through families but sometimes expressed through the spontaneous freedom of the mind.
For Whitney I hope that this is a beginning for a future interest in folk art.
I don't know who Fannie Scovel was but I thought she resembled my great- grandmother when I found this postcard years ago. It's an early photographic card with a printed holiday wish and a comment, "with my flowers." Obviously an important added sentiment by Fannie.
In this new age of computers and blogs I wish all citizens of the world the opportunity to live in peace and love with understanding and kindness.
Yesterday I visited the rather new Kentucky Artisan Center that is located a couple minutes off Interstate 75 an artery connecting states between Michigan and Florida. The Center, run by the state of Kentucky, seems to serve highway travelers in several ways. It has a fine restaurant, restrooms, lots of benches and seating both indoors and outside and a marketplace for Kentucky made goods. One can find artwork, crafts, books, and gourmet food all with ties to the state and for sale.
Art work and crafts dominate the marketplace. Many beautiful and unusual pieces can be found -- all contemporary and for sale.
The items cover a broad spectrum, some reflecting the early forms of Kentuckian folk design, while some others, the newly evolved Kentucky arts and crafts, are dynamic and fit well with the old folk forms.
I took a few photos of pieces that I thought were good examples of the contemporary art work.
Books by many Kentucky authors such as Barbara Kingsolver or Wendell Berry line the shelves on one wall. I perused them and found a few that I was unfamiliar with. I wrote them down and will order them through my local library.
Overall it was a nice break to visit the Center and stroll through the for sale items made in Kentucky. It was a refreshing exposure to locally made and the idea of local economies.
WINTER ID -- POISON IVY OR VIRGINIA CREEPER?
Winter changes the looks of plants. At least I think so.
If you are one that likes to walk trails in the woods and fields in the winter you might want to be aware of poison ivy -- it can cause allergic reactions year round. It grows throughout the United States. If you brush against the vine with your clothes the rash-causing oil will be picked up and will require washing to get rid of it. Also, you should be aware not to cut any of its lovely curving twigs for winter bouquets from its woody vine.
But how is one to know if the plant is poison ivy when observed in the winter for there is another that looks similar -- Virginia creeper.
THIS 8 FOOT VINE HUGS AN OLD FENCE POST.
IS IT POISON IVY OR VIRGINIA CREEPER?
Poison Ivy contains a chemical oil that causes a rash and irritation that can be quite unpleasant. Not all people are sensitive to the ivy's oil but may develop an allergic reaction at any age.
Birds love the white berries that grow in small clusters along the vine in late summer. They provide nourishment for flickers, sapsuckers, pheasants, and quail to name a few. But no white berries are to be found in the winter. Nor its leaves of three, let it be clusters. To humans the whole plant is toxic.
Another climbing woody vine that grows similar to poison ivy is Virginia creeper. Both plants have aerial roots protruding all along their woody stems and they both have woody shrub- like vines.
Virginia creeper also provides fruit, small blue berries, to a host of animals such as eastern bluebirds, cardinals, Leopard moths, deer, skunk and many more birds and mammals. The berries are found in late autumn. The berries are very toxic to humans.
Both Virginia creeper and poison ivy grow in close proximity to each other and sometimes twine up the same post or tree.
So given the similarities between the two, how does one ID poison ivy from Virginia creeper in the winter? With their leaves gone and the berries off the poison ivy – what are the identifying traits that distinguish them from each other?
TWIGGY SMALL SHRUB CLOSE TO LARGE UNIDENTIFIED PLANT -- BELIEVE BERRIES OF VIRGINIA CREEPER?
Near the large unidentified plant was a smaller upright twiggy plant with a few blue berries still on it. Could this be Virginia creeper? Was the large plant I was trying to identify also Virginia creeper?
I know that there are lots of naturalists or plant people out there that probably could help me out in identifying this large twisting vine. Perhaps even provide tips for others needing to identify poison ivy along winter trails.
Does anyone have any clues? Please comment with any information or suggestions – I surly would appreciate it.
In the meantime I will steer clear of this beautiful twisting vine until summer when its leaves sprout. Then I can count its leaves. Leaves of three, let it be, is an old saying about poison ivy -- meaning count the leaves in its cluster -- if five its Virginia creeper -- if three, stay clear!
I am adding a link about winter poison ivy HERE. It is from OUTSIDE MY WINDOW -- A Bird Blog with Kate St John. She discusses the ivy is ways that I thought were a great supplement to this post.
Although I swear that this is the jolly guy, Santa Claus, -- the carver, Frederick Hyatt named his carving Santa Helper. Perhaps, by the fact that this figure was smoking a pipe -- it made him ineligible for being Santa Claus.
This whimsical carving is a robust-full figured carving approximately 8 inches tall. It was not only carved by Frederick Hyatt, it was painted by him in its red, white, and black Santa colors.
It is all one piece from the bottom platform to the tip-top of his hat. The wood being basswood.
Mr. Hyatt was a folk carver and artist that went fairly unnoticed during his life time. He lived meagerly in his old age and was bound by a wheelchair. He lived in an old trailer in what he referred to as a trailer park consisting of about twenty trailers. This park was located in an urban setting. I knew him for a short time and then lost track of him.
Below is the bottom of the platform where he signed his signature and address in Lansing, Michigan. His title of the piece runs up the side.
I thought this little Santa expressed Hyatt's joy for Christmas. It exemplifies the idea that life is what you, alone, make of it. May your holiday be a pleasant one.
One Christmas eve, when I was a child, as I laid in bed listening for the sounds of Santa on the roof I overheard the the voices of my parents discussing a gift that I was to receive from Santa. It was a time when folks were still feeling the repercussions of the depression and WWII. Money was beginning to flow again in the economy yet people were still in the non-spending mode.
The gift they were discussing was a hand-me-down cradle that was last used by my older sister. My father had just refinished it and put a chime on the rocker so that it played a tune when you rocked it. It was a lovely doll cradle by the time he had it all redone. I loved it when I saw it under the tree the next morning -- even though I knew it was a hand-me-down and not from Santa. I played along with the idea of Santa bringing it.
I had the cradle for many years. -- somewhere along my path of life I lost it. That cradle had taught me many things about family and living according to ones values.
It taught me that my father, with love and kindness for his daughter, took the time to redo the cradle and add music to it. Also, it taught me the meaning of the phrase -- waste not, want not. My parents had to make do with what they had -- they didn't extend their tight budget to more than they had in their pocket.
One day, later in life, I bought a child's worn old red rocking chair. It reminded me of the lessons I had learned from my cradle -- the chair obviously had been used by several generations. There was evidence that the rocker had several problems at one time and that someone had lovingly fixed them.
The previous owners had made a seat with cloth tape, probably because the original splint seat had worn through. Also, one of the rockers had broken at some point and had been repaired in excellent fashion. Apparently, through use, the little rocker had become shaky -- so someone corrected the wobbling chair by repairing it with tightly twisted wire. All these repairs gave the rocker many leases on its long life.
So when I remember my childhood cradle during the holiday season, I now look at the little red chair and know that it represents family, love, caring and reuse -- my idea of what the holiday season should be about.
Attach a hoop to an old barn and gather your friends for a backcountry basketball game. City kids have nice urban cement courts but country kids use a barn to hang their hoop and the grass up against the barn for their court.
In 1985, by coincidence, I learned about this elderly man that was an unknown folk artist. He was disabled and lived rather modestly in an old trailer in an urban setting. He worked in several mediums but his wood carvings were his favorite.
I was able to buy several carvings of women and men, painted and full bodied, about eight inches tall. Then he asked me if I would be interested in a tall Indian carving. The Indian carving was a small replicate of a full-sized cigar store Indian that once could be found displayed outside of tobacco stores. The full-sized cigar store Indian was popular in the early to mid-twentieth century in the U. S. and perhaps before and also on the continent.
The notion was that since tobacco was introduced by Native Americans an interpreted facsimile would be used in selling tobacco products. Therefore, the rather unlikely representation of an American Indian was born. Although we are aware that such figures as the cigar store Indian were carved with a "western eye" and therefore are not representative of true American Indian culture. But these Indian carvings were part of the American culture of the time even with this misrepresentation of the native culture. Such is culture -- you have a ying and yang relationship. I did buy the carving.
This all happened 24 years ago. I was younger and not as fully into folk art as I am today. I eventually sold the small fugures for practically pennies and then gave the Indian to my son.
Today, I realize that I should have found out the history of this amiable folk carver named Fredrick Hyatt. So many questions I could have asked! Opportunity missed.
A house in a very small town caught my eye as I was driving down its main street. I instantly knew I wanted to find out more about this place. I swung around and stopped in front of the house and noticed a sign attached to the garage. Sign said: NO TRESPASSING. Whoa, this stopped me dead in my tracks of going up to the door to introduce myself . I happened over to a nearby house and they told me the house was vacant -- and its owner was a lady in her eighties that was now living in a nursing home.
With these few facts in hand I decided that I could take photos of the house from the street while searching for clues about the the owner.
Initially, what attracted me to stop was the vernacular form of the house. But now I saw something else. -- it was the sitting porch standing as it probably stood when the elderly woman lived there.
So, now I was looking at both the early architecture of the place and the front sitting porch.
Based on the architecture, I put a date on the house as that of the early 1800s, It had not been restored, only preserved. It was an authentic example of a vernacular Federal/Greek Revival house.
--How long had she lived in the house?
--Was this a family home that had passed through several generations?
--Did she know who built the house or the garage or any of the outbuildings on the property?.
--Was it a large house because large families had lived in it?
Many other questions passed through my mind -- too many to write down here.
Architecture aside, I turned to the sitting porch to seach for clues about the owner. It contained a little bit of interpretive material.
The woman of eighty plus apparently liked plants as she had several planters sitting on the edge of the porch with remnants of former plants.
She had some old metal chairs that appeared to be there for socializing.
Some old vintage plant stands stood empty on part of the porch. A chicken figure, that perhaps was a planter, sat on top of one of the stands.
Together the architecture along with the materials on her porch seemed to tell me that over the years she made do with what she had. The house along with the porch artifacts remained "as is" over the years. "As is" meaning no changes.
As an example of the remaining "as is" of the house architecture was the original weather-board siding, a few old outbuildings, old tin roof, original six over six window panes (also called lights), column pilasters on the porch, and a fan light over the front door.
My conclusion about the elderly lady was that she liked to socialize, loved plants, and liked things to remain as they were.
The over-all ambiance of the property gives one the ability to glance at a "real" historic setting -- not one that has been adulterated with the clean and sterile look of many museums. The overall place is in context to its landscape -- a small town in Kentucky.
Its like an archaeological dig -- trying to interpret fragments into a viable story. Humans invariably leave debris when they have lived somewhere for any length of time. The interpretation may not be entirely accurate but is usually fairly close to reality.
Congress comes back this week for the short lame-duck session. They failed to pass a oil spill bill before the election, and if they don't do it during lame duck, it's not likely to happen next year, or the year after, which would mean that they failed to address the biggest marine oil disaster in our history. Dwell on that.
They will have done nothing to hold BP legally accountable for the environmental destruction they've wrought. Nothing for the ecosystems. Nothing for the threatened and endangered species. Nothing for those of us who care about them.
During the 2010 lame-duck congressional session, the U.S. Senate should pass legislation dedicating Deepwater Horizon disaster Clean Water Act (CWA) penalties to environmental restoration of the Gulf Coast. Without Senate action, billions of penalty dollars will likely disappear into the federal treasury and never reach the Gulf Coast. But clearly, this money should be used for environmental restoration in the region that was most directly affected by the oil disaster.
The point of this whole post is therefore this: the squeaky wheel gets the grease. We need to make that wheel squeak like heck.
We as bloggers have the ability to spread the word in a way that didn't exist 21 years ago, when the Exxon Valdez ran aground. Don't let the Gulf become another Valdez disaster – don't let BP get away with it the way Exxon did. Contact your senator, your local papers, whomever else might make a difference. And spread the word: on your blog, on Facebook, on Twitter.
The Nature Blog Network is leading a Blogging for the Gulf campaign to raise awareness and encourage action on the subject.
Nature always provides surprises to a walker along a trail. Recently, a few days after a rain, I moseyed down a trail close to my home and observed something I felt was a bit different. This was what could be considered miniature watering holes or as I call them -- nature's drinking cups.
Above is a decayed limb that has a basin-like cavity at the top of its stub. When we have rain it fills and remains for several days.
Here is a close up photo of the tree's drinking cup. As you can observe, clear fresh water is caught in the decayed basin. I imagine that birds and insects love these small places.
Another basin like drinking cup. This one is in the hollow of a large boulder. I thought that the two examples of drinking cups displays the ingenious way that nature takes care of its little wild critters.
Unoccupied building with original exterior.
"For, indeed, the greatest glory of a building is not in its stones, not in its gold. Its glory is in its Age, and in that deep sense of voicefulness, of stern watching, of mysterious sympathy, nay, even of approval or condemnation, which we feel in walls that have long been washed by the passing waves of humanity."
The photo above is an example of Romanesque Revival (1870-1900) architecture only on a vernacular scale. Ruskin's influence helped popularize this style.
The above and below photos, of the old small Kirksville bank building, at one time served the locals but now stands empty. The building borrowed some Romanesque features to dress up a rather plain facade. It stands untouched by restoration.
Restoration is insensitive renovation of historic buildings. Preservation seeks to conserve and protect them. To paraphrase Ruskin's words that advocates preservation, where one can feel . . . in the walls . . . the passing waves of humanity. Only when you preserve not restore will you have beauty in aging.

Boarded windows and a locked door reflect its emptiness..
Margaret's husband built the above concrete block root cellar in 1971 -- thirty-nine years ago when she was thirty-seven. Today, Margaret is seventy six and no longer uses it.
Our recent chat revealed that they once had a very large garden where they grew a wide variety of vegetables. She canned huge amounts of the harvest. One year she canned about 500 quarts of green beans. She gave lots of her vegetables away. Now she only grows a small patch of tomatoes as her husband helper passed a few years ago.
Some root cellars are inside houses, usually the basement. My mother had one in our basement that she called her fruit cellar. Maybe it is just a matter of semantics whether one calls the cellar -- fruit or root?
Most root cellars in the U.S. are built into sides of hills. The idea of root cellars was born in 17th century Europe and traveled to the U.S. They became a traditional part of rural living. They are not used in great abundance anymore but still can be found in some country areas.
This particular cellar was built by Margaret's husband of cement block. He lined the walls with shelves to store the glass jars of canned goods. The floor space was saved to spread out potatoes. It was kept chock full.
The cooling and insulating properties of the surrounding ground preserve the freshness of the fruit and vegetables.
The temperature of these outside root cellars remain slightly above freezing during the winter which slows down spoilage. Produce stored in indoor cellars, usually the basement type, do not have the same storing qualities as the outdoor cellars.
A wide variety of food could be stored in Margaret's cellar if she desired -- cured meats, milk, cheese, dried foods, canned food, fruit and vegetables.
Here are a few Farm Security Administration photos of root cellars in the western part of the country. Photos were taken by the photographer Russell Lee who worked for the FSA during the depression years.
I have captioned my post's last three photos with information known about each one. These pictures represent the "hey day," of root cellars.
Root cellars appear to have had their peak periods during the 1800s through about 1950. Modern refrigeration put an end to the popularity of building such structures. That is except Margaret's husband who built his in 1971. Recently, with the back to land movement, there has been renewed interest in root cellars.

A woman in the traditional clothing of Black Sea region of Turkey (she isn't wearing a headdress on the photo, so the costume is incomplete). The costume is rather similar to Slavic folk attire, not Ottoman. That's interesting. Mixing of Slavic and Ottoman clothing traditions is typical for the Balkan countries (and Turkey is considered to partially belong to the Balkans).


UPDATE: White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders claims the inaugural committee investigation has nothing to do with President Trump.
Sanders has deflected blame when members of the president's inner circle, most recently his longtime political adviser Roger Stone, have been wrapped by investigations.
... [T]he White House has maintained that the charges against Trump's associates have nothing to do with the president despite the connection to activities that took place during or after his campaign.
Special Counsel Robert Mueller and congressional investigators now have company from the Southern District of New York in their ongoing probe into the Trump inaugural committee.
The subpoena also seeks committee memos and information regarding restrictions on donations "including but not limited to prohibitions on donations by foreign nationals or donations on behalf of a third party."
Trump's inaugural fund raised $107 million – the most in modern history.
The inaugural committee's chairman was Thomas J. Barrack, a close friend of the president's. His close aide working on the inaugural committee was Rick Gates, the former deputy to Paul Manafort, the former Trump campaign chairman who has been convicted of and pleaded guilty to several crimes in connection with the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III.
Mr. Cohen has spent more than 70 hours with investigators with the Manhattan prosecutors, as well as Mr. Mueller's team.

Meta Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for meta-discussion of the Stack Exchange family of Q&A websites. It only takes a minute to sign up.
What's the redesigning campaign – in a nutshell?
On my favourite site, a new design was announced. It contained a lot of links to posts which in turn contain a lot of links, answers, timelines, and references to stuff like Teams which is not relevant to me. So, I am pretty overwhelmed and confused. I am therefore asking for a summary of what I need to know for understanding, evaluating, and criticising the design for proposed for my site, specifically:
What major changes can I expect when switching to the new theme?
What is the rationale behind the change as a whole as well as the major or controversial changes? What is this responsive design everybody is talking about?
What are the restrictions of the new unified theme?
What parts are still customisable for each site?
What are the most common suggestions and what is their current state (rejected, in progress)? I am asking this, so I can avoid redundant worries and criticism.
This is intended as a FAQ to be posted as a reference in the individual design announcements instead of the convoluted general announcements, requests for comments, and similar.

The main site navigation links move from the top to a sidebar on the left. On narrower monitors, this tends to push the right sidebar off the edge of the viewport, unless the left sidebar is collapsed in preferences.
On sites that previously had extensive theming, the new theme brings them down to the subset of visual features common to all sites.
The basic purpose is threefold: to allow more stuff to be put into navigation, to make pages usable on a wider variety of screens, and to reduce ongoing design costs of individual site themes.
"Responsive" design is an approach that relies on relatively flexible layouts and smoothly resizing/shuffling the major elements in the layout in order to handle a range of different screen widths without needing to be zoomed or scrolled. Ideally, the same website can be used efficiently on a small phone screen and a 4k monitor.
Site themes can pick which of several font chains to use, but can't pick fonts not on the lists. Voting arrows, blockquotes, and tags are not customizable. MathJax is not responsive. The size and location of the header logo can't be changed.
Background images, favicons, site header logos, link color, accent color, badge icons.

The layout of the theme is unnegotiable. The name of the website (site header logos) will always be pushed to the left. The logo cannot increase in size. Every link is underlined. – Mari-Lou A Sep 4 '18 at 8:08
@Mari-LouA: You should add those into the "restrictions" section. – Nathan Tuggy Sep 4 '18 at 8:09
I'm not so sure it's confirmed that sites won't be able to pick/suggest new fonts. Georgia is a poor choice for sites with Greek for example. – curiousdannii Sep 4 '18 at 8:12
@curiousdannii: I reread the linked post several times and it sure looks to me as though they're going to do almost exactly what they originally said they would: get rid of font customization. There's an entire section of the post to state this (entitled "New plan is the old plan, mostly"). Most of the rest of the post is listing the impact the new/old plan will have on various classes of sites when they lose their customizations. – Nathan Tuggy Sep 4 '18 at 8:34
@Mari-LouA Link underlining has nothing to do with the new theme. It's network wide right now. – Catija♦ Sep 4 '18 at 12:03
@Catija links weren't underlined until the new themed sites were running. So it has something to do with it. On some sites the links were very visible (strong color contrasts) now they look unsightly, and on EL&U posts, where answers can contain dozens of links, the underlining looks heavy and "busy". Can we ask to disable this feature on EL&U? – Mari-Lou A Sep 4 '18 at 12:19
@curiousdannii It's because Georgia is the only commonly used font that has text figures in the basic set. You need is a modern font like Google's EB Garamond w/Latin+Greek+Cyrillic+IPA, and where you can select old-style figures via the onum font feature, or bette, the font-variant-numeric that gets you both proportional-nums and also oldstyle-nums. Only tabular figures should be non-proportional. And only ALL CAPS should have lining figures, since those are uppercase digits and text figures are lowercase digits. People have forgotten that typesetting is not like a typewriter. – tchrist Sep 5 '18 at 3:54
@curiousdannii Right now anything in IPA is messed up because it picks simple characters from Georgia and then the rest from Times New Roman, including combining characters. This doesn't work because of the different x-heights, which leaves it very hard to read. A unified modern serif that covers all the bases here and gives us text figures as well is the way to go. The Google font I mentioned fits that bill but I guess they only want to use fonts already on people computers 20 years ago, not modern stuff. – tchrist Sep 5 '18 at 4:01
It is very difficult to put all the information in a nutshell, but I believe this one-page report on the Stack Overflow Blog, written by Donna Choi, is a good beginning. I have, of course, summarised the main points.
Updating Navigation for Stack Overflow, Enterprise, and Stack Exchange Sites
… "Channels", a product which is now called "Teams."
…this project required a change to Stack Overflow's information architecture. We created several prototype navigations, narrowed to two, and tested with a group of users. This brought us to the following design direction, with content navigation on the left side:
Through that project, we learned that – despite many similar or overlapping use cases – there were major differences that were not easy to resolve. As a result, it took us longer than expected to ship navigation to network sites, and we still haven't updated Enterprise sites.
This means there's been extended or unresolved fragmentation between Stack Overflow and our other sites. This is problematic because there's a lot of overlap between people using Stack Overflow, Enterprise, and network sites. For example, about 70% of users joining network sites already have a Stack Overflow account.
… fragmentation means that shipping basic improvements to Enterprise and network sites becomes increasingly costly as differences accumulate over time…basic improvements like accessibility and responsiveness can benefit our 150+ communities and Enterprise clients as quickly as possible.
Below is a mock-up of a Stack Overflow user's page. This format will be identical for every single user, regardless if they are a member of SO or not, regardless if they are a computer engineer or not. But seeing as 70% users also have a Stack Overflow account, this will have a minimal impact on the majority.
The new information architecture also needed to scale reasonably over time. People should be able to expect a coherent experience as the site grows and changes.
A new product offering that is a separate entity from Stack Overflow
A new feature on Stack Overflow
Further on
We know that Stack Overflow and our other sites could better support people with differing abilities. That's why the new information architecture also needed to support our effort to make Stack Overflow accessible to all.
While all of these changes may not be ready on day one, we are taking this opportunity to improve access for all of our users.
The layout of the theme is unnegotiable. (see mockup)
The website's name (site header logo) will always be pushed to the left.
The site logo cannot increase in size.
The top bar is not considered to be part of the theme and therefor remains ubiquitous
We released the new top bar for all users across all communities. (Oct 9 '17)
Color - The top bar needs to be black on network sites, since that works best with the many themes. The SO top bar color was a branding decision and won't be changed to black.
The SO mock-up doesn't actually represent most SE sites as it's missing the site title bar. – curiousdannii Sep 4 '18 at 12:17
It is my understanding that the top bar (2015) and the changes effectuated to it earlier this year (icons, logos etc.) are all part of the changes that SE is proposing, the new "theme", the new layout, the new features. The black top bar cannot be modified in any way. Users cannot ask the developers to change its colour or can they? – Mari-Lou A Sep 4 '18 at 12:28
I meant the bar below the common black bar, which is absent at SO. – curiousdannii Sep 4 '18 at 12:35
@curiousdannii I was really addressing Catija's comment that she left in the edit message. "The top bar has been this way for over a year." – Mari-Lou A Sep 4 '18 at 12:38
@Mari-LouA The question specifically says "What major changes can I expect when switching to the new theme?" The black top bar predates this change and has been the status quo for a long time. – Catija♦ Sep 4 '18 at 13:25
@Catija the OP also asks "What parts are still customisable for each site?" The top bar is not customisable. Am I wrong? The new icons, which supported new functions/menus, were introduced in February this year. But seeing as this post has become CW it's no longer mine. – Mari-Lou A Sep 4 '18 at 13:30
You're not wrong but you need to phrase it more clearly. "Remains ubiquitous" is flowery and non-specific. Remember, you're writing for a FAQ. Be precise. – Catija♦ Sep 4 '18 at 13:42
@Catija I stopped caring. Someone better than me can rewrite those four lines. – Mari-Lou A Sep 4 '18 at 13:43
Nothing wrong with flowery language ... I use it all the time. – rene Sep 5 '18 at 7:17

NPFL: New Wikki Tourist Defender Eyes Continental Ticket
Wikki Tourist faltered last season, escaping relegation by just three points
Wikki Tourist new left back, Mustapha Abdullahi has vowed to help the club secure a continental spot next season.
The Bauchi based side were highly rated following their third place finish in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) two seasons ago but they faltered last season, escaping relegation by whiskers.
However, Abdullahi is confident that the club can do better this season and grab a continental spot like they achieved in 2016/17.
READ ALSO: Arsene Wenger Gets Knocks Over Iwobi
"I believe Wikki tourist has what it takes to play at the continental level" the 21-year-old said.
"By the special Grace of God, we should be getting a continental ticket at the end of the season just like we've achieved before."
Abdullahi is regarded as one of the best left backs in Nigeria having played for the U17, 20 and 23 national teams. He was also part of the team that represented Nigeria at the All African Games and helped himself to a goal against Senegal.
Fans of Wikki Tourist will specially look out for the enterprising Abdullahi when they host newly promoted Go Round FC at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium for the kick-off of the 2018 NPFL season.

Second Life GDP (in millions of US dollars).
By comparison, in 2009, Second Life reported a total GDP of $567 million and gross resident earnings of $55 million.
In addition, the service currently has 900,000 active monthly users, a drop of 18 percent from its peak of 1.1 active monthly users in the spring of 2010. Second Life stopped publishing most economic data in the fall of that year.
However, Second Life has continued to make available the concurrent login numbers, and GridSurvey.com has been collecting this data for the past six years.
The data shows a slight but steady decline in concurrency since its peak in early 2010, totalling a drop of about 20 percent — almost exactly matching the decline in monthly users cited by Altberg.

How to Protect Against Ransomware – Best Choice for G Suite
Brandon Lee November 14, 2019 G Suite Ransomware Protection 0 2502
Ransomware! Has a shiver crawled up your IT administrator's spine yet? Any business, big or small can fall victim to ransomware. It costs businesses more than $75 billion per year.
To prevent ransomware attacks, some businesses are migrating their critical data to the public cloud. Google G Suite has certain data protection mechanisms built into the solution. But even there, your data is vulnerable.
The only way you can successfully overcome a ransomware attack is to have a backup and recovery solution in place. But what is the best protection against ransomware? Let's take a look at how you can implement backups of G Suite to protect your organization against malicious software.
Protect Against Ransomware – A Menacing Threat!
Ransomware Can Infect Public Cloud
How to Protect Against Ransomware Attacks in G Suite
The Cost of a Ransomware Attack
If you do not protect your organization from ransomware, you will be hit eventually. Without the proper protection against ransomware attacks, data loss is sure to happen. This is a forgone conclusion both on-premises and in the public cloud. How exactly is ransomware such a threat? How does it render data completely useless?
Ransomware uses a process called encryption to make data unreadable by its rightful owner. Encryption uses a mathematical algorithm as a key that makes the data unreadable without the proper key to "unlock" it. Attackers that use ransomware hold the "readable data" hostage until the "ransom" is paid to obtain the key to unlock the data so that it is normalized once again so that it can be read. The ransomware process is by design uneventful to the end-user.
There is nothing that lets the user or administrator know their data is being encrypted silently and maliciously. When the encryption process is finished however and it is too late to stop the damage, the attackers present a message to the end-user letting them know they have been affected by ransomware and they must pay the demanded ransom before their data will be unlocked.
The "Ransom" note left on the desktop of an infected workstation
How can ransomware infiltrate your environment? There are many attack vectors that deliver ransomware to unsuspecting users. However, one of the most prominent methods that ransomware infects end users is via email. An end-user is tricked into opening an attachment that in actuality contains a malicious executable file that houses ransomware.
Many ransomware variants may make it past traditional antivirus protection and begin the process of encrypting critical files, folders, mapped network drives, and any other resources the end-user has permissions to access.
One of the avenues for ransomware infection that ties on-premises environments to the G Suite public cloud SaaS environment is file synchronization. G Suite offers installable utilities to synchronize files from on-premises end-user devices to the Google G Suite cloud. If ransomware infects an end-user device, it will begin encrypting files that will then be synchronized to the Google cloud. The ransomware encryption process is simply viewed as a change in the file, so this will trigger the synchronization process to take place.
There are still huge misconceptions regarding public cloud environments and ransomware. Many businesses with untrained or naive and inexperience personnel may fee that once data enters the realm of a public cloud SaaS environment such as Google G Suite, their data is immune to the effects of ransomware infections that wreak havoc on-premises. However, this could not be further from the truth.
The major advantage of public cloud SaaS environments comes in the form of high availability that results from the world-class data centers and failover mechanisms in the underlying data center technologies used to host the SaaS services.
This should not be confused with data protection. They are two separate mechanisms and involve separate technologies. While Google, Microsoft, and others are working at introducing the most basic nuances of data protection, these in themselves are not and should not be considered as backups.
Google G Suite has the ability to restore data in a rudimentary fashion of "versions" of files in their cloud storage as well as a "recycle bin" of sorts that allows "un-deleting" files that have inadvertently been deleted either accidentally or intentionally by end-users for up to 30 days.
While businesses may be able to leverage the file versions as a way to potentially recover data, this is not a method that can be relied upon for wide-scale protection of business-critical data hosted in the public cloud. Ransomware is ravenous and destructive to any data it touches.
What if ransomware infected files are not discovered in the 30-day window of time for recovery? What if businesses need to restore a "version" of a file that what not captured by the versions in cloud storage? What if there are services affected by ransomware outside of G Suite storage such as email? "RansomCloud", a term coined for a ransomware variant able to encrypt cloud-based email, offers the smoking gun to show that even public cloud email is at risk for ransomware infection.
Currently, only the G Suite cloud drive storage is available for the recovery of various versions of data. What about email? What about any other services that may potentially be infected by ransomware or a yet to be utilized ransomware attack that targets other cloud services contained in SaaS services like G Suite?
All of these and many other questions lead to the conclusion that more is needed in the way of backups for data stored in the public cloud. This can not be stressed enough – backups are essential to surviving a ransomware attack on-premises and in the cloud.
The meager data protection that is provided as a native feature in G Suite cloud storage is simply not sufficient for surviving a massive ransomware attack in a G Suite environment. Organizations need an enterprise data protection solution that provides true backup functionality for data stored in the G Suite SaaS environment that allows true versioning, retention beyond the 30-day limit imposed by Google with their file versions, automation, powerful restore functionality, migration features, and many other features and functionality that provide true protection for public cloud Saas like G Suite.
Backups are the only sure way to recover your data in the event of a ransomware infection that manipulates your data in the public cloud or anywhere else. As mentioned, the backup and recovery functionality provided by the G Suite SaaS public cloud environment is very limited. Spinbackup totally removes the limitations to effective backups by providing an enterprise-grade backup and recovery solution for G Suite.
Spinbackup provides the "One-Two punch" needed to totally eradicate the ransomware threat in G Suite. Coupled with powerful automated backup and recovery capabilities, Spinbackup adds Machine Learning enabled cybersecurity protection that works seamlessly with the data protection functionality to not only protect against ransomware processes infecting G Suite cloud environments but also automatically restore any files that may have been affected by the ransomware encryption process. It makes it the best way to protect against ransomware for organizations.
Choose Spinbackup for the following automated responses to ransomware and ransomcloud attacks:
Security Scanner identifies the source of the attack
Blocks the source and encryption process
Identifies the number of damaged (encrypted) files
Runs a granular recovery of encrypted files from the last successfully backed up version
Check out these and other Spinbackup Ransomware Protection features.
The cost of a ransomware attack can escalate dramatically with every minute and hour that passes with business continuity disrupted. Additionally, the intangible cost of lost customer satisfaction, harm to brand reputation, and many other factors can add up to untold costs that can literally take an organization out of business. Let's take a look at a couple of scenarios, one with a customer using a traditional cloud backup solution, and one with a customer using Spinbackup to protect business-critical data.
Scenario 1
Customer "A" has a rather large environment in Google's G Suite SaaS environment with some 1,000,000 files stored on Google Team Drives with approximately 15,000 G Suite accounts. An unsuspecting high-level end-user device is infected with ransomware leading to the majority of the files stored across the G Suite environment being encrypted. The company has chosen a traditional backup vendor for the G Suite cloud environment with no additional ransomware protection. Customer A is required to restore most if not all files stored in their G Suite environment. Google has imposed limitations in G Suite to prevent the abuse of the underlying infrastructure. One aspect of these limits is a 10 I/O requests per second limitation. This can slow the restoration process even further.
For an environment of this size, a number of files and potential scope of ransomware infection, it could take upwards of 4 days to recover all files from backup.
Customer "B" also has some 1,000,000 files and approximately 15,000 G Suite accounts. However, they have chosen to use Spinbackup for both backing up their G Suite environment and for ransomware protection. This combination of machine learning-enabled technologies immediately starts fighting ransomware as soon as it starts attacking files in the cloud.
As listed above, Spinbackup uses 4 steps to protect against ransomware:
Ransomware process is identified by Spinbackup Security Scanner
Ransomware process is effectively isolated and blocked by Spinbackup
Ransomware affected files in the G Suite cloud are automatically identified
Ransomware encrypted files are automatically restored by Spinbackup's powerful data protection recovery mechanism
When comparing the two scenarios, even though Customer A has a data protection solution in place, the damage can be extensive. Files have to be manually identified that need recovered. As mentioned, the restore operation may take days! In contrast, by choosing Spinbackup, the ransomware attack affecting Customer B was automatically stopped within minutes, the ransomware process was blocked, and files that were affected were automatically recovered!
What is the return on investment or ROI for Spinbackup protecting your G Suite cloud environment? Priceless. When considering the damage that was prevented by this machine learning, proactive, automated response, the damage that was avoided could literally have saved the business.
Native cloud-provided data protection solutions are absolutely required for businesses to effectively withstand and survive a ransomware attack. However, even though the backup is one of ransomware protection best practices, alone do not prevent the potential downtime that may result from a ransomware attack.
Spinbackup's ransomware protection and backups are absolutely priceless to businesses who are looking to not only backup their data but also protect against ransomware attacks altogether. Spinbackup saves businesses from the manual recovery time needed to identify affected files and restore them. Instead, it blocks the ransomware quickly, identifies the affected files, and automatically restores them. It all makes Spinbackup a great enterprise ransomware protection service.
By implementing the proactive, automated, and intelligent response provided by Spinbackup, businesses can take the offensive against ransomware attacks instead of simply reacting to an attack and restoring data manually.
