As if it hasn't been a conflict when MERS is the nominee for the plaintiff but is also named or is the mortgagee for the defendant…what a total state of confusion.
Oh wait there's more, and who signs and notarizes these documents entered as evidence in most cases?

TAMPA – When a lender fails to find a homeowner to notify them of a foreclosure lawsuit, a judge often appoints a guardian ad item. That attorney is supposed to represent the property owner's interests.
But guess who typically picks the guardian? The lender's attorney.

Collapse of David J. Stern law firm throws foreclosure courts into disarray
Posted on 08 March 2011. Tags: ceases, court cases, djsp enterprises, foreclosure fraud, judge thomas mcgrady, law offices of david J. stern plantation florida 33324, Susan Taylor Martin
You have to read Susan T. Martin's article in the St. Pete Times…. She was one of the very first who exposed this foreclosure fraud way back and one who's not afraid to say the f word… " Fraudulent".
Here's a piece off the St. Pete Times:
In a letter dated March 4, Stern notified McGrady and other chief judges that as of March 31 the firm will end its involvement in all 100,000 foreclosure cases statewide in which it is still listed as attorney of record. Bank of America and other Stern clients jettisoned the firm last year because of its allegedly sloppy, fraudulent practices but in many cases have yet to hire anyone to replace him.
"It's just put the brakes on being able to move forward in these thousands of cases we have, and so they either get counsel or get rid of the case," McGrady said.
In his letter to the judges, Stern acknowledged that his firm is basically out of business.
"We have been forced to drastically reduce our attorney and paralegal staff to the point where we no longer have the financial or personnel resources to continue to file motions to withdraw in the tens of thousand of cases that we still remain as counsel of record," he wrote. "Therefore it is with great regret that we will be ceasing the servicing of clients" by month's end.
FORECLOSURE…THE NEW "IT" THING? FANTASTIC!

Can you imagine if everyone just stopped paying that thing called mortgage but kept up with homeowners/condo associations (because these can foreclose faster than you can blink)? Oh what a wonderful world!
This article really does not portray the majority. Some don't have a job period! If you can get a great attorney and an loan audit… get the lender to the table!
Owners Stop Paying Mortgage …
and Stop Fretting About It
Chip Litherland for The New York Times Wendy Pemberton, a barber in Florida, with a customer, Howard Cook. She stopped paying her mortgage two years ago.
By DAVID STREITFELD NYTIMES
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — For Alex Pemberton and Susan Reboyras, foreclosure is becoming a way of life — something they did not want but are in no hurry to get out of.
Foreclosure has allowed them to stabilize the family business. Go to Outback occasionally for a steak. Take their gas-guzzling airboat out for the weekend. Visit the Hard Rock Casino.
Chip Litherland for The New York Times Alex Pemberton and Susan Reboyras stopped paying the mortgage on their house in St. Petersburg, Fla., last summer.
"Instead of the house dragging us down, it's become a life raft," said Mr. Pemberton, who stopped paying themortgage on their house here last summer. "It's really been a blessing."
A growing number of the people whose homes are in foreclosure are refusing to slink away in shame. They are fashioning a sort of homemade mortgage modification, one that brings their payments all the way down to zero. They use the money they save to get back on their feet or just get by.
This type of modification does not beg for a lender's permission but is delivered as an ultimatum: Force me out if you can. Any moral qualms are overshadowed by a conviction that the banks created the crisis by snookering homeowners with loans that got them in over their heads.
"I tried to explain my situation to the lender, but they wouldn't help," said Mr. Pemberton's mother, Wendy Pemberton, herself in foreclosure on a small house a few blocks away from her son's. She stopped paying her mortgage two years ago after a bout with lung cancer. "They're all crooks."
Foreclosure procedures have been initiated against 1.7 million of the nation's households. The pace of resolving these problem loans is slow and getting slower because of legal challenges, foreclosure moratoriums, government pressure to offer modifications and the inability of the lenders to cope with so many souring mortgages.
The average borrower in foreclosure has been delinquent for 438 days before actually being evicted, up from 251 days in January 2008, according to LPS Applied Analytics.
While there are no firm figures on how many households are following the Pemberton-Reboyras path of passive resistance, real estate agents and other experts say the number of overextended borrowers taking the "free rent" approach is on the rise.
There is no question, though, that for some borrowers in default, foreclosure is only a theoretical threat for a long time.
More than 650,000 households had not paid in 18 months, LPS calculated earlier this year. With 19 percent of those homes, the lender had not even begun to take action to repossess the property — double the rate of a year earlier.
In some states, including California and Texas, lenders can pursue foreclosures outside of the courts. With the lender in control, the pace can be brisk. But in Florida, New York and 19 other states, judicial foreclosure is the rule, which slows the process substantially.
In Pinellas and Pasco counties, which include St. Petersburg and the suburbs to the north, there are 34,000 open foreclosure cases, said J. Thomas McGrady, chief judge of the Pinellas-Pasco Circuit. Ten years ago, the average was about 4,000. "The volume is killing us," Judge McGrady said.
Mr. Pemberton and Ms. Reboyras decided to stop paying because their business, which restores attics that have been invaded by pests, was on the verge of failing. Scrambling to get by, their credit already shot, they had little to lose.
"We could pay the mortgage company way more than the house is worth and starve to death," said Mr. Pemberton, 43. "Or we could pay ourselves so our business could sustain us and people who work for us over a long period of time. It may sound very horrible, but it comes down to a self-preservation thing."
They used the $1,837 a month that they were not paying their lender to publicize A Plus Restorations, first with print ads, then local television. Word apparently got around, because the business is recovering.
The couple owe $280,000 on the house, where they live with Ms. Reboyras's two daughters, their two dogs and a very round pet raccoon named Roxanne. The house is worth less than half that amount — which they say would be their starting point in future negotiations with their lender.
"If they took the house from us, that's all they would end up getting for it anyway," said Ms. Reboyras, 46.
One reason the house is worth so much less than the debt is because of the real estate crash. But the couple also refinanced at the height of the market, taking out cash to buy a truck they used as a contest prize for their hired animal trappers.
Chip Litherland for The New York Times Mark P. Stopa is a lawyer who says he has 350 clients in foreclosure, each paying him $1,500 a year in fees.
It was a stupid move by their lender, according to Mr. Pemberton. "They went outside their own guidelines on debt to income," he said. "And when they did, they put themselves in jeopardy."
His mother, Wendy Pemberton, who has been cutting hair at the same barber shop for 30 years, has been in default since spring 2008. Mrs. Pemberton, 68, refinanced several times during the boom but says she benefited only once, when she got enough money for a new roof. The other times, she said, unscrupulous salesmen promised her lower rates but simply charged her high fees.
Even without the burden of paying $938 a month for her decaying house, Mrs. Pemberton is having a tough time. Most of her customers are senior citizens who pay only $8 for a cut, and they are spacing out their visits.
"The longer I'm in foreclosure, the better," she said.
In Florida, the average property spends 518 days in foreclosure, second only to New York's 561 days. Defense attorneys stress they can keep this number high.
Both generations of Pembertons have hired a local lawyer, Mark P. Stopa. He sends out letters — 1,700 in a recent week — to Floridians who have had a foreclosure suit filed against them by a lender.
Even if you have "no defenses," the form letter says, "you may be able to keep living in your home for weeks, months or even years without paying your mortgage."
About 10 new clients a week sign up, according to Mr. Stopa, who says he now has 350 clients in foreclosure, each of whom pays $1,500 a year for a maximum of six hours of attorney time. "I just do as much as needs to be done to force the bank to prove its case," Mr. Stopa said.
Many mortgages were sold by the original lender, a circumstance that homeowners' lawyers try to exploit by asking them to prove they own the loan. In Mrs. Pemberton's case, Mr. Stopa filed a motion to dismiss on March 17, 2009, and the case has not moved since then. He filed a similar motion in her son's case last December.
From the lenders' standpoint, people who stay in their homes without paying the mortgage or actively trying to work out some other solution, like selling it, are "milking the process," said Kyle Lundstedt, managing director of Lender Processing Service's analytics group. LPS provides technology, services and data to the mortgage industry. DinSFLA: WHAT AN IDIOTIC THING TO SAY! Who is exactly milking what??
These "free riders" are "the unintended and unfortunate consequence" of lenders struggling to work out a solution, Mr. Lundstedt said. "These people are playing a dangerous game. There are processes in many states to go after folks who have substantial assets postforeclosure." DinSFLA: I invite you Mr. Lundstedt to look over this blog and see your "Free Riders". SIR!
But for borrowers like Jim Tsiogas, the benefits of not paying now outweigh any worries about the future.
"I stopped paying in August 2008," said Mr. Tsiogas, who is in foreclosure on his house and two rental properties. "I told the lady at the bank, 'I can't afford $2,500. I can only afford $1,300.' "
Mr. Tsiogas, who lives on the coast south of St. Petersburg, blames his lenders for being unwilling to help when the crash began and his properties needed shoring up.
Their attitude seems to have changed since he went into foreclosure. Now their letters say things like "we're willing to work with you." But Mr. Tsiogas feels little urge to respond.
"I need another year," he said, "and I'm going to be pretty comfortable."

Global Scope: Over 800 organizations from 42 countries participated in the study including Johnson & Johnson, Shell, Colgate, and Volkswagen. In addition to the global report, there are seven country reports comparing local findings with global norms.
Multiple Perspectives: This forecast collected data from over 900 HR professionals and 4,500-plus leaders at various levels, allowing some unique comparisons.
New Section on the Role of Leadership: In addition to extensive findings on leadership talent practices, we also asked leaders how they feel about their own roles. We covered topics like work-life balance, motivation to lead, and what leaders feel their organizations really expect from them. In all, the Leadership Forecast 2005-2006 includes 31 separate findings.
Links with Financial Performance: As in past forecasts, there is a strong relationship between those organizations who have in place effective talent systems and self-reported company business performance. However, in the 2005-2006 report, we correlated data from North American, publicly-traded corporations who completed the forecast with financial data from an independent database. As you will see, there is an impressive relationship between the quality of leadership talent programs and business performance.

De Thalia Bücher GmbH (tot oktober 2015: Thalia Holding GmbH), met het hoofdkantoor in Hagen is de holding voor de verschillende boekhandels -en dienstverlenende bedrijven, die onder de gemeenschappelijke merknaam Thalia optreden.

In maart 2017 heeft de Thalia groep meer dan 280 boekhandels in Duitsland, Oostenrijk en Zwitserland. Gemeten in omzet is het de marktleider onder de boekverkopers in het Duitstalige gebied.

Geschiedenis
Het in 1919 in Hamburg opgerichte bedrijf opende op 20 maart 1997 in Bremen zijn eerste winkel buiten Hamburg, waar het bedrijf op dit moment twaalf vestigingen exploiteerde.

Om een uniforme merkidentiteit te hebben, treden de overgenomen boekhandels in Oostenrijk op onder de naam Thalia.at sinds september 2005. In het Oostenrijkse Linz bevindt zich sindsdien de grootste boekhandel van de hele Thalia groep.

Begin 2006 was Thalia marktleider in de Duitstalige landen, met een marktaandeel van iets minder dan zeven procent. Na de eenwording van de Hugendubel boekhandels met meer dan 350 verkooppunten van de Verlagsgruppe Weltbild kwam Thalia op de tweede plaats achter het nieuwe boekhandelsgroep DBH. In 2006 was de doelstelling van de Thalia groep om op middellange termijn het marktaandeel in Duitsland meer dan te verdubbelen.

Ter gelegenheid van de 50e IFA in de herfst van 2010 stelde Thalia haar eigen e-Book-lezer OYO voor en was daarmee veel eerder dan het concurrerende apparaat van Amazon (Kindle) in de Duitse handel. Een eigen marktplaats voor e-books bood Thalia op 21 april 2011 nog niet aan. Vanaf eind november 2012 had men met de E-Book-Reader Odyssey HD FrontLight van Bookeen een concurrerend product met de Kindle Paperwhite van Amazon in het assortiment. In maart 2013 had Thalia gezamenlijk met partners uit de boekhandelsbranche en de Deutsche Telekom als techniekpartner het merk Tolino op de markt gebracht en sindsdien zeven eReaders uitgebracht, waaronder de Shine 2 HD, de Tolino Page en de als laatste de Tolino Vision 4 HD.

Tijdens de aandeelhoudersvergadering van de Thalia Holding GmbH werd op 6 oktober 2015 besloten tot de omvorming in Thalia Bücher GmbH. In 2016 verkreeg Herder Verlag de meerderheid in Thalia Bücher GmbH.

Concernstructuur
Tot 2012 waren de aandeelhouders in de Thalia Holding GmbH, Buch & media GmbH met 75 % en Könnecke-Beteiligungs-GmbH met 25 %. De Buch & media GmbH is een 100% dochter van de Douglas Holding. De aandeelhouders van Könnecke-Beteiligungs-GmbH zijn leden van de familie Könnecke, die Thalia in 1931 gekocht hadden. Tegen het einde van 2012 was Thalia volledig in handen van de Douglas Holding. In hetzelfde jaar nam de Amerikaanse investeerder Advent een belang in de holding, waarbij de familie Kreke, de oprichters van Douglas, behielden een 20 procents belang in de onderneming.

In juli 2016, nadat er omvangrijke saneringen hadden plaatsgevonden, werd bekend dat een consortium onder leiding van Herder Verlag een meerderheid in de Thalia groep zou nemen. De familie Kreke behield haar minderheidsbelang. Het bedrijf Thalia heeft in het kader van de Multi-Channel strategie ook een 100 %-belang in de Duitse webshop Buch.de.

De Thalia winkels in Zwitserland werden omgevormd tot Orell Füssli winkels.
 Op 1 april 2014 werd tijdens de Jaarlijkse aandeelhoudersvergadering van Buch.de Internetstores AG, een bod op de nog uitstaande aandelen uitgebracht om het bedrijf volledig over te nemen;
 Op 17 maart 2015 is de dochtermaatschappij Buch.de Internetstores opgeheven en samengevoegd met Thalia Holding GmbH.
In juli 2018 worden de filialen van Wittwer in Stuttgart, Ludwigsburg en Sindelfingen overgenomen. Sindsdien worden deze voortgezet als Buchhaus Wittwer-Thalia
In januari 2019 fuseert Thalia met de boekhandelsketen Mayersche. Eveneens in januari 2019 wordt de 150-jaar oude boekhandel Jos. Fischer overgenomen.
In februari 2020 werden 12 filialen van Decius overgenomen in Nedersaksen en Saksen-Anhalt.

Kritiek
Als gevolg van de groter wordende concurrentie en de filialisering van de boekhandels breidt Thalia fors uit door het overnemen van individuele boekhandels en openen van nieuwe boekhandels, net als de concurrenten Verlagsgruppe Weltbild en Mayersche. Door het expansiebeleid kreeg ook Thalia veel kritiek vanwege de vrees dat zij met haar inkoopkracht de uitgevers onder druk kan zetten. Grotere uitgevers zullen hier meer slagkracht tegen hebben, maar de kleinere kunnen het zich niet veroorloven om te ontbreken in het assortiment van de grote boekhandelsketens.

Ook was er veel onbegrip voor het voorstel van Thalia in 2006 aan uitgevers om financieel deel te nemen aan de verdere uitbouw van het filialennetwerk. Een ander punt van kritiek zijn de pogingen van Thalia om de vaste boekenprijs te bannen en zodoende de marges van de kleinere boekhandels te drukken en deze uit de markt te verdringen.

In 2010 werd Thalia Österreich ervan beschuldigd een lokale uitgever en boekhandelaar onder dreiging van het opzeggen van de relatie tot verkoop te hebben gedwongen.

Atletico has already opened 13 clubs since the end of Milan
Posted on September 5, 2016 by Elise Buckley under News
Atletico remains strong social level. Last Saturday Atletico showed muscle in Lorca (Murcia) in homage to Lazaro Albarracin, vice president of the club, with many rocks present. Antic, coach of the doublet, said that "the great heritage of the club is your hobby" at the colloquium organized by the Peña Castillo de Lorca. And Antic words are corroborated by facts: Atletico has opened 13 clubs from the Champions League final in Milan. Bestiality, according to club officials. Typically, the club opens about 12 a year. The social response after the defeat in Milan has been incredible.
Far from being discouraged by defeat in the European final, the fans, through their clubs, has returned to support both the club and the rojiblancos. Atletico now has a total of 766 clubs, of which 725 are in Spain and 41 abroad.

Each Monday, my students work through a different Growth Mindset quote. We discuss the quote and how they can apply it to their lives. It's working nicely to set our week of on a positive note. The prep is really easy and the discussion that comes out of each quote is so powerful!
A colleague of mine also teaches about Growth Mindset. Last year, Crystal and I created this board with our classes. (If you click that link, you'll find a few other resources we use to teach about Mindset.) We found that the board was not only a great reminder for our students, but it also served as a teaching tool for other students in the building. Many EAs stopped by with their students and had conversations about the different mindsets.
This was after our work was done on the weekend.
Our students have brainstormed many many thoughts that are considered Growth Mindset thoughts, and Fixed Mindset thoughts. We collaborated a bit to make sure we didn't have any duplicates up on the board. One by one, each student added a thought to the board.
And the Growth Mindset thoughts.
The whole board complete! We sprayed this quite heavily with a fixatif, just in case curious fingers touched it. So far we are doing okay!

Abstract : Taking into account the hardware architecture specificities is a crucial step in the development of an efficient application. This is particularly the case for embedded systems where constraints are strong (real-time) and resources limited (computing, power). This approach is called co-design, and it is found more or less explicitly in ADLs (Architecture Description Languages). Many works have been done around co-design and ADLs, but no standard notation and semantics have emerged. Concerning software engineering, UML has become a recognized standard language for modeling, proving the need of users for common syntax and vocabulary to specify their applications. We believe that it would useful to use the well achieved syntax and vocabulary of UML for both applications and hardware architectures, that is to say using UML as an ADL. Our approach consists in a clear specialization of an UML subset via a the proposition of a generic profile that allows the definition of precise semantic and syntaxic rules. The generic profile can then be extended to suit the need of the user. To illustrate our subject, we give a refinement example of the profile to get relevant informations for a simulation at the TML level (Transaction Level Modeling). The modeling of the TI OMAP2410 and OMAP2420 is provided as an example.

Q: Fit annotations in Watchkit Map with padding I can't for the life of me figure this one out. I have been able to get annotations on the map and create a new Rect to hold them and set the map to that rect but my issue is obviously these annotations are right at the very edges of my map and I would like to add some extra space. Here is what they look like currently

And the code to generate this is
...
@IBOutlet var mapOutlet: WKInterfaceMap!
...

// setup a null MpRect
var zoomRect = MKMapRect.null;

// set lat and lon
let lat = data?["latitude"] as! Double
let lon = data?["longitude"] as! Double
let phoneLat = 32.801296
let phoneLon = -79.898318

// create coordinates
let myLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: lat, longitude: lon)
let phoneLocation = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: phoneLat, longitude: phoneLon)

// setup location points
let myLocationPoint = MKMapPoint(myLocation)
let phoneLocationPoint = MKMapPoint(phoneLocation)

// setup MapRects
let myLocationRect = MKMapRect(x: myLocationPoint.x, y: myLocationPoint.y, width: 0.1, height: 0.1)
let phoneLocationRect = MKMapRect(x: phoneLocationPoint.x, y: phoneLocationPoint.y, width: 0.1, height: 0.1)

// setup MapRect union
zoomRect = myLocationRect;
zoomRect = zoomRect.union(phoneLocationRect);

mapOutlet.setVisibleMapRect(zoomRect)
mapOutlet.addAnnotation(myLocation, with: .red)
mapOutlet.addAnnotation(phoneLocation, with: .purple)

Q: Understanding a monad instance I have this Haskell code portion:
newtype State st a = State (st -> (st, a))

instance Monad (State state) where
    return x = let f t = (t,x) in State f

    State f >>= g = State (\oldstate ->
                let {(newstate, val) = f oldstate;
                  State f'= g val}
                in f' newstate)

I'm new to monad but i think i got how return and bind works in the general case.
But in the example above i have lots of problems:

*

*in Monad (State state) is State the Monad's name? How is it
related with the newtype State ... ?

*in return x = let f t = (t,x) in State f where does t comes from?

A: So by this point you've certainly heard of currying or partial application: if you have f :: a -> b -> c and x :: a, then f x :: b -> c.  I.e., If f is a two-argument function and x has the type of f's first argument, then f x is a function that takes the second argument and "completes" the application.
Well, in Haskell the same thing applies to type constructors like State.  Types and type constructors have a kind, which is analogous to how values have types.  A non-parametric type like Integer has kind *; a one-parameter type like Maybe has kind * -> *; State has kind * -> * -> *.
And then, State state is a partial application of the State type constructor, and has kind * -> *.  Monad is a class that applies to the kind * -> *.  So, applied to our examples:

*

*instance Monad (Integer) where ... is forbidden because Integer has kind *.

*instance Monad (Maybe) where ... is allowed because Maybe has kind * -> *.

*instance Monad (State) where ... is forbidden because State has kind * -> * -> *.

*instance Monad (State st) where ... is allowed  because State st has kind * -> *.

How do we know that Monad applies to types of kind * -> *?  We can infer it from the class declaration:
class Monad m where
    return :: a -> m a
    (>>=) :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b
    -- ...

Look at how m is used in this class declaration: as part of m a and m b, i.e., as taking one argument.  Because of this, Haskell infers that m is a type variable of kind * -> *.
Compare to this:
class Num a where
    (+) :: a -> a -> a
    (-) :: a -> a -> a
    -- ...

Here the type variable a is not applied to other type variables—thus it must be of kind *.
So strictly speaking, State is not a monad; it's a two-place type constructor that, when partially applied to just one type, gives you a monad.  So State state is a monad, as is State Integer, State [a], etc.  People do often speak loosely and talk of State and similar things as monads, though, but you should understand it's a parametrized monad—it's a monad that has an internal type parameter and thus many variants that differ in the type of that parameter.

A: *

*State is the type of the monad, instance Monad (State state) is declaring State state (where state is a type variable that can be set to any other type*) to be an instance of Monad.  newtype State is the definition of the State type.

*let f t = (t, x) is defining a function, with an argument named t.

* Technically, state is a type variable of kind *, but don't worry about that.

Another day, another Council meeting. They are mostly a waste of time, so far as she is concerned. Inconsequential babbling over the war effort. At least she didn't have to return to Korriban for this one. But now it's over and she can return to cataloging the shipment from Malachor. Some promising items in there.
Except... This isn't the turbolift. This is, in fact, a forest.
Yup. A forest full of plants. No animals. No turbolifts.
If this is some sort of trap, it's a well-arranged one. She can't sense any Sith. She reaches out with her senses. Any other sorts of living beings...?
Not really nearby. There's one a ways that way.
That's probably her best chance for answers. She heads off thataways.
Little yellow haired guy with wings, up a tree picking fruit.
She stands near the base of the tree, and waits to be noticed.
He spots her. "Why hello! What's your name?"
"I am Darth Occlus. What is the planet?"
"This isn't a planet. Want a drupe?" He holds up a plump fruit.
"If it is not a planet, what is it?" She ignores the fruit.
He tosses it to her in a friendly sort of motion. "Well, this is a forest. I'm Yellow. What's your real name?"
She holds up a hand, and the fruit is arrested in midair. She squeezes, and it bursts, messily. None of the flying pulp lands on her.
"It is unwise to antagonize me. Answer the question."
"Wow, touchy." He starts to fly away.
"I'm not finished with you."
He squeaks in alarm and tries to take off again.
She rolls her eyes and presses down on his mind with the Force.
"You don't want to run away. You want to answer my questions."
He goes a bit crosseyed. "What were your questions?"
"Why did you say this was not a planet?"
"What is it instead, then?"
"It's bigger. It goes forever."
"You want to answer me truthfully. Are you lying?"
"Why did you ask for my 'real' name?"
"I wanted to catch you for a vassal."

Canon boosts business information security with the third edition of its imageRUNNER ADVANCE Generation 3 MFDs
With an extensive range of 22 new MFDs, the third edition models are enhanced to protect
business information against various vulnerabilities and raise productivity at work
Canon today announced the launch of the third edition of its award-winning imageRUNNER ADVANCE (iR-ADV) Generation 3 line-up, expanding its multi-function device (MFD) portfolio with 22 new models in 8 different series. Designed to meet a wide range of business needs, the latest MFDs are ideal for today's varied work environments. The third edition MFDs integrate key security functions from the previous edition, such as Encrypted Secure Print and Encrypted PDF, and incorporate newly-added security features to help protect business information further
"Information is one of the most important business assets today. We understand that companies big and small are proactively looking to safeguard their valuable data against threats and vulnerabilities," said Mr. Ooi Chik Hoe, Senior Director of Business Imaging Solution Dapartment, Canon Marketing (Thailand) Co., Ltd. "In addition to enabling a more secure document lifecyle, the third edition MFDs provide an additional layer of security by resisting unknown malware attacks right from the initial device startup. Combined with various productivity-enhancing capabilities, the new MFDs deliver a comprehensive upgrade and help companies stay focused on core business functions by effectively streamlining work processes."
Securing Business Information
The third edition iR-ADV Generation 3 MFDs present a range of preventative security measures that empowers businesses to stay ahead of data protection. Additional security features now include an all-new device security function that verifies system at startup, allowing users to safely power-on the MFDs based on Root of Trust (RoT). Gradually available through system updates, the MFDs will be enhanced with runtime protection to prevent the running of unauthorised programs during device operation, in addition to startup. These countermeasures effectively prevent unknown attacks on the security mechanisms of MFDs which manage some of the most valuable business information.
Featuring a new Syslog protocol, the third edition MFDs send device information to Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions for monitoring. Upon detection of abnormal activities, the SIEM system sends real time alerts to administrators for immediate threat analysis and prevention. With improved transparency on device usage, businesses can better manange and deter potential data breaches. Additionally, an automated security certificate enrolment with Simple Certificate Enrolment Protocol (SCEP) helps reduce unnecessary administration by automatically updating the MFDs with latest security certificates.
Lifting Workplace Productivity
Designed for maximum ease of use, the third edition MFDs deliver a greater user experience with a brand-new User Interface (UI) known as the Home Screen. Combining the functions from both the Main Menu and Quick Menu, the rearranged UI enables users to operate the MFDs with greater ease. With a new Timeline feature, the third edition MFDs provide shortcuts for past or repeated scan and copy jobs on the Home Screen. Users can streamline tasks and eliminate the inconvenience of repetitive operations, significantly improving productivity. Another notable productivity-enhancing feature, the Enhanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Mode ensures a more accurate identification of text during scanning, allowing users to reuse the scanned text for other work purposes conveniently.
Easing Print Management
Equipped to work seamlessly with award-winning Canon uniFLOW Online, a cloud-based print management solution, the third edition MFDs enable businesses to manage print environments effortlessly. Requiring no server investment and ongoing maintenance, the serverless print management solution provides businesses with central control by tracking print, scan, and copy costs for accurate allocation to users or departments. Administrators can view valuable usage information within the uniFLOW Online Dashboard and identify potential areas for cost reduction. The print management solution also helps to strengthen security by limiting unauthorised access and protecting confidential printouts with authentication.
iR-ADV Generation 3 third edition portfolio :
iR-ADV C3500i III series

Amnesty Int'l: Sudan Used Chemical Weapons
Diplomacy, Foreign, News
Amnesty International Logo
NAN, Abuja: The Sudanese government has likely conducted at least 30 chemical weapons attacks against civilians in the country's Darfur region this year, a report by the human rights watchdog Amnesty International said Thursday.
The report, which is based on information from satellite imagery and more than 200 interviews, found that between 200-250 people, most of them children, have died due to chemical weapons attacks in Darfur's Jebel Marra region since January 2016.
Images and videos used for the research showed children screaming with pain, vomiting blood, blistering and struggling to breathe after being exposed to chemical agents, said Tirana Hassan, Amnesty International's director of crisis research.
"The scale and brutality of these attacks is hard to put into words," Hassan said.
"Chemical weapons have been banned for decades in recognition of the fact that the level of suffering they cause can never be justified. The fact that Sudan's government is now repeatedly using them against their own people simply cannot be ignored and demands action."
The report's findings were presented to two independent chemical weapons experts, both of whom concluded that there was strong evidence for the use of blister agents such as mustard gas.
"The use of chemical weapons is a war crime," Hassan said. "The evidence we have gathered is credible and portrays a regime that is intent on directing attacks against the civilian population in Darfur without any fear of international retribution."
The suspected chemical attacks came as the Sudanese government began a large-scale offensive against the Sudan Liberation Army rebel group in the mountainous Jebel Marra region in early 2016.
The UN was able to verify that more than 80,000 people had been newly displaced in the region in 2016.
According to UN estimates, another 117,000 people have also had to flee their homes, however, the UN is unable to verify the number due to lack of access.
The conflict in Darfur has been ongoing since 2003. Rebel groups accuse Khartoum of oppressing Darfur's non-Arab population.
The region has also seen intercommunal violence.
About 300,000 people are estimated to have died from the fighting or related malnutrition and disease, while 2.6 million have been displaced.

When I was growing up, That Girl was one of the shows to watch. I loved seeing the hair and fashions and the lighthearted comedy. Marlo Thomas was wonderful in this series. Hollywood did not ruin Marlo, as she went on to write several wonderful books and to carry on her father's work for St. Jude Hospital.
In the 1960s, Marlo Thomas was That Girl. Her Ann Marie character opened the door for a new generation of women. Ann was not just a daughter and girlfriend. She was an aspiring actress who leaves home to pursue her career in New York City. She has wonderful chemistry with her boyfriend, magazine writer Donald Hollinger (Ted Bessell). Ann and Donald are one of TV's great comedy teams. Ann the free-spirited one, and Donald the more practical one.
That Girl has a wonderful cast of actors: Dabney Coleman, Bernie Kopell (Get Smart, The Love Boat). Guest stars included Sally Kellerman, George Carlin, Rob Reiner and Terry Garr.
The final episode was going to have Ann and Donald getting married, but Marlo Thomas (who was also an executive producer) refused, believing that it sent the message that a woman's main goal in life was to be married.
I remember this show fondly, not just for Marlo (who was a wonderful comedianne), but also for Ted Bessell's skill as a straight man and Lew Parker's nice turn as Ann's father (who was somehow suspicious of Donald, possibily the nicest boyfriend in TV history). I will say that the last year of THAT GIRL was a bit jarring. Isn't that when Marlo traded her bangs for a more mature hair-do and also when they added lyrics to the theme song? Thanks, Dawn, for reminding me about an underappreciated 1960s comedy series.
I used to want to be That Girl myself. I was in my early teens and wanted to be an actress in New York, so Marlo's life looked like heaven. Nobody ever mentioned how a single girl struggling to be an actress could afford that fabulous apartment she had, but what the heck -- that was TV and fantasy. I enjoyed this blog, Dawn. It really takes me back.
Great write-up, Dawn, as always! And thanks for the link!
Dawn I loved watching this show, thanks for the walk down memory lane!
Rick, I'm not sure I saw the last year of the show. Have you noticed how many times Terry Garr's name pops up in the Classic TV shows? I forgot that she was so popular.
Dawn, this was a sweet show that I enjoyed watching as a very young girl. Ann seemed to have a zest for life and ability to find happiness in her hardships. Thanks so much for your lovely post!
toto..I agree.. What a fun show.

«Homo Deus: За лаштунками майбутнього» () — книга ізраїльського письменника Ювала Ноєма Харарі, професора єврейського університету в Єрусалимі. Книгу вперше опубліковано на івриті 2015 року у видавництві «Dvir publishing», а згодом перекладено й іншими мовами.

Як і в попередній книзі, «Людина розумна. Історія людства від минулого до майбутнього», Харарі розповідає про хід історії, описуючи події та індивідуальний людський досвід, а також етичні проблеми у відношенні до його історичного огляду. На відміну від попередньої книги, «Homo Deus» глибше вивчає питання здібностей, набутих людьми (Homo sapiens) протягом всього свого існування, а також його еволюції як домінантного виду в світі. Книга намагається відтворити образ майбутнього. Обговорюються багато філософських питань, як-от людський досвід, індивідуалізм, людські емоції й свідомість. В книзі описані сучасні можливості й здобутки людства.

Центральні тези

 Організми — це алгоритми, тому homo sapiens не можуть домінувати у всесвіті, де датаїзм стає парадигмою.
 Оскільки когнітивна революція відбулася близько 70 000 років тому, люди живуть в рамках «інтерсуб'єктивної реальності», як-от країни, кордони, релігія і гроші, які створені для забезпечення широкомасштабної та гнучкої співпраці між окремими людьми. Людство відрізняється від тварин здатністю вірити в ці між суб'єктивні конструкції, які існують тільки в людському розумі та можливі завдяки колективним переконанням.
 Гуманізм — це форма релігії, яка поклоняється людству замість Бога. Це ставить людство і його бажання як пріоритет у світі, де люди самі формуються як домінантні створіння. Гуманісти вважають, що етика і цінності виникають всередині кожної людини, а не із зовнішнього джерела. Харарі вважає, що протягом XXI сторіччя гуманізм може підштовхнути людей до пошуку безсмертя, щастя і влади.
 Величезна здатність людства надати змісту своїм діям та думкам — ось, що сприяло численним досягненням.
 Технологічні розробки ставлять під загрозу здібність людей надавати змісту своєму життю; Харарі пророкує, що людину замінить надлюдина або «homo deus» (людина божественна), яка наділена надприродними здібностями, як-от вічне життя.

Закінчується книга питанням:
Що станеться із суспільством, політикою й щоденним життям, коли позбавлені свідомості, однак високоінтелектуальні алгоритми знатимуть нас краще, ніж ми знаємо самі себе?

Сприйняття
Після публікації, «Homo Deus» привернула велику увагу засобів масової інформації (ЗМІ). Статті й рецензії на книгу були опубліковані на сторінках The New York Times, The Guardian, The Economist, The New Yorker, NPR, Financial Times і Times Higher Education.

1 Module 1 Let s Eat Well & Keep Moving: An Introduction to the Program From L.W.Y Cheung, H. Dart, S. Kalin, B. Otis, and S.L. Gortmaker, 2016, Eat Well & Keep Moving, 3rd ed. (Champaign, IL: Human Kinetics).
5 Eat Well & Keep Moving Health Goals: The Principles of Healthy Living Make the switch from sugary drinks to water. Choose colorful fruits and vegetables instead of junk food. Choose whole-grain foods and limit foods with added sugar. Choose foods with healthy fat, limit foods high in saturated fat, and avoid foods with trans fat. Eat a nutritious breakfast every morning. Be physically active every day for at least an hour. Limit TV and other recreational screen time to 2 hours or less per day. Get enough sleep to give the brain and body the rest they need.
11 What Are the Benefits of Eating Well and Keeping Moving? Eating well helps children grow, develop, and do well in school. Eating well reduces the risk of many chronic diseases. Being active reduces the risk of obesity, heart disease, some cancers, high blood pressure, diabetes, anxiety, and depression.
12 Why Should We Be Interested in a Nutrition and Physical Activity Program for Children? Obesity is a major risk factor for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and many types of cancer. The food industry in the U.S. spends more than $1.8 billion per year on advertising to children. Children become progressively less active as they age. Over 1/3 of children in the United States are overweight or obese.
16 Children Are At Risk! Trends in Physical Activity Only 4% of elementary schools provide daily PE for all grades. 23% of children do not participate in any free time physical activity in a typical week. Participation in organized physical activity is declining: Children ages 6-12 who played sports regularly fell from 44.5% in 2008 to 40% in 2013.
19 Turning the Tables: Why Schools Need to Be Part of the Solution!
22 Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Are a Critical Part of Learning and Achievement Brain development and function require an adequate supply of nutrients. Eating breakfast increases academic test scores, daily attendance, concentration, and class participation. Children learn through movement. Physical activity increases alertness. Schools that offer intensive physical activity programs see no negative effects on standardized academic achievement scores, even when time for physical education is taken from the academic day. Children spend more time reading and doing homework when parents set limits on TV viewing and other recreational screen time.
24 Faculty and Staff Wellness The program offers the opportunity to learn more about nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and overall health.
25 School Food Services The program offers schools help in promoting healthful choices in school lunch and breakfast programs.

Ubisoft confirms next-gen games coming this year will still be $60
By Austin Wood published 22 July 20
The company didn't say how long this price will hold
(Image credit: Ubisoft)
The next-gen games that Ubisoft releases this fall will still be $60.
CEO Yves Guillemot confirmed that the standard price tag won't change in the company's most recent financial call. Asked whether Ubisoft will follow 2K's move to raise the price of next-gen games (in this case, NBA 2K21) to $70, Guillemot said: "For the Christmas games, we plan to come with the same price as the previous generation of consoles. That's what we're focused on at the moment."
It's worth noting that Guillemot singled out the games coming around the Christmas and holiday season - that is, October, November and December. Most notably, Ubisoft is prepping Watch Dogs Legion and Assassin's Creed Valhalla for October and November respectively, so this confirms that those games will be $60. This lines up with pre-order pages that opened after the recent Ubisoft Forward presentation.
All that being said, Guillemot and Ubisoft have not confirmed whether future next-gen releases will remain at $60. It's possible that Ubisoft games released in 2021 and beyond will see a jump to around $70. Likewise, it's unclear whether other publishers will follow suit, and how quickly.
Guillemot didn't say much else about the company's next-gen plans on this particular call, apart from a vague promise that, "We will make sure that our catalog can be played on the next consoles, and we think it will actually boost sales of those games in the long-run." All of the studio's forthcoming games are cross-gen releases, so this comes as no surprise.
A $70 price point is a bitter pill, but could lead to a healthier industry.

The release of a new version of iOS, the operating system that powers the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, is usually cause for excitement. That wasn't entirely the case with iOS 6.
Normally Apple users greet the new version of the iOS with joy because it brings dozens, or hundreds, of new features with it, as well as important bug fixes. While iOS 6 did deliver those things, it also left some users grumpy thanks to the new Apple Maps app, which drew a lot of criticism at its release and even cost one very high-level Apple executive his job. Other users didn't like that it dropped support for older models and that features didn't work on all devices.
Below, you can find out if your iPhone is compatible with iOS 6, what features this version offers, and learn all about the history and controversies of iOS 6.
1iPhone 4 does not support: Siri, Maps flyover, turn-by-turn navigation, FaceTime on 3G, and hearing aid support.
2iPhone 3GS does not support: VIP list in Mail, Offline Reading List in Safari, shared Photo Stream in Photos, Siri, Maps flyover, turn-by-turn navigation, FaceTime on 3G, hearing aid support.
3iPad 2 does not support: Siri, FaceTime on 3G, and hearing aid support.
Apple released 10 versions of iOS 6 before replacing it with iOS 7 in 2013. It even released some bug fixes for iOS 6 after iOS 7 was released. All devices listed in the chart above are compatible with all versions of iOS 6.
Devices not on this list can't use iOS 6, though many of them can use iOS 5. This likely spurred many people at the time to upgrade to a new iPhone or another device.
While iOS 6 introduced many new features, it also delivered some controversy, primarily around the Apple Maps app.
Maps was Apple's first attempt at creating its own, in-house mapping and directions app for the iPhone (all of those features had been previously supplied by Google Maps). While Apple touted all kinds of cool effects, such as 3D flyovers of cities, critics charged that the app lacked essential features like mass transit directions. Critics also pointed out that the app was buggy, directions were often incorrect, and images in the app were distorted.
Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly apologized to users for the problems. He reportedly asked Apple's head of iOS development Scott Forstall to make the apology. When Forstall refused, Cook fired him and then issued the apology himself, according to reports.
Since then, Apple has steadily improved Maps with each version of the iOS, making it a much more effective replacement for Google Maps (though Google Maps is still available at the App Store).
iOS 7 was released on September 16, 2013.

Composite materials (composites) are engineered or naturally occurring materials made of two or more constituent materials with significantly different physical or chemical properties that preserve their autonomous identities at the macroscopic or microscopic scale within the finished structure. Disc brake pads are perhaps the most common composites. They are made of hard ceramic particles embedded in soft metal matrix. Other composites include imitation granite, cultured marble sinks and countertops. Fiberglass is another composite that is used in shower stalls and bathtubs. Advanced composites are applied in spacecraft technology where the environment is demanding. Enter magnesium oxide.
Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a versatile mineral that can be used in building among other applications and is a suitable alternative to traditional Portland cement. Foundations, panels and internal walls of homes made with magnesium oxide composite are fire resistant, mold resistant, termite proof, insulated against heat and strong enough to withstand natural disasters.
Magnesium oxide has a plethora of benefits. It is mold, fungus and bug-free. This is because it is not a nutrient to mold, fungi and bugs (ATSM G-21). It is also fire-proof and has been both UL 055 and ASTM-tested and is A-rated. It is water-proof and has been freeze/thaw-tested for 36 months. It is impact resistant (ASTM D-5628). Magnesium oxide is also silica and asbestos-free. What's more? It is also resistant to Electro-Magnetic frequencies (EMF). It is also ideal for flooring: 3/4" of magnesium oxide is equivalent to 21/2" of poured concrete! Other credibility indicators of magnesium oxide are that it is NYC approved (MEA # 359-02-M), Florida Hurricane tested and STC-rated 53-54.

We have known for years of Iran's efforts to help President Assad by encouraging Afghan emigrants to fight in Syria's conflict. Tehran has promised money and permanent residency to those men, some of whom have been killed or captured by rebels.
The fate of two brothers from Kabul, one grievously wounded, the other killed fighting in Syria, spotlights Iran's covert but active recruitment of Afghan refugees to buttress President Bashar al-Assad's steadily depleting forces.
Iran, Assad's key military and financial patron, denies enlisting Afghan mercenaries to fight alongside Syrian forces in the four-year conflict against rebels that has left more than 240,000 people dead and millions displaced.
But interviews with Afghan fighters and relatives of combatants killed in Syria point to a vigorous — and sometimes coerced — recruitment drive of Shia Hazara refugees by Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards Corps propping up Assad's floundering regime.
"'Very few fighters survive Syria's brutal conflict', he told me," said Jehantab, swaddled in a white scarf and sitting with three young children on the floor of her Kabul home.
Haider, she said, was lured by the monthly salary of $700 — a tidy sum for a laborer with no combat experience — and the promise of an Iranian residency permit, an attractive inducement for refugees who otherwise live in constant fear of deportation.
"I begged him: 'Don't go, don't kill yourself for money'," said Jehantab, who asked to be identified only by her first name in order not to jeopardise her chances of getting the permit.
Haider's premonition came true — a few days after he left, an Iranian official informed his relatives, also refugees in Tehran, that he had been killed in battle.
Haider was part of a growing wave of jobless young Afghans seeking shelter in neighbouring Iran from decades of turmoil and war tearing their country apart, only to be ensnared in another conflict….
The Iranian embassy in Kabul told AFP it rejects allegations that Tehran is enlisting Afghan refugees as "completely baseless".
But in a video posted online apparently by anti-Assad rebels last year, a dazed and bloodied Afghan militiaman is seen confessing that he was an illegal immigrant in Iran, where authorities offered him $600 a month to fight in Syria — or face deportation.
But some Afghans like 27-year-old Mohammed have joined the fight to protect their sect, in particular the defense of the golden-domed Sayyeda Zainab, a prominent Shiite shrine located in a Damascus suburb.
Part of the all-Afghan Fatemiyoun brigade, named after the Prophet Mohammed's daughter Fatima, the guerrilla said he fought alongside Hezbollah, the powerful Iran-backed Shiite militia from Lebanon.
"Iran has no combat troops in Syria but the command is in their control," Mohammed told AFP in Kabul, pulling up his shirt to reveal a sutured shrapnel wound.
He said one firefight near Damascus with Islamic State fighters desperate to achieve "martyrdom" in battle left 19 of his Afghan colleagues dead.
The rise of Fatemiyoun and other Iran-backed forces made up of Iraqis, Lebanese, and Pakistani Shiites underscores Assad's growing reliance on foreign mercenaries as rebels ramp up attacks on Damascus.
In a rare admission in July Assad, who has faced a series of recent battlefield losses, acknowledged a manpower shortage faced by his government's army amid growing deaths and defections.
Back in Jehantab's home, Haider's cousin Zahra consoled her and quietly fumed over his death "in a war that isn't ours".
"Going to Syria is like signing up for a suicide mission," Zahra said in a phone call to Hussein, Haider's brother who also volunteered to fight in Syria, where he suffered a deep shrapnel wound to his stomach.
"I'm OK. There were 300-400 of us (Afghans). Many died, I survived," Hussein said in a frail voice from a hospital bed in Tehran just before he was about to be wheeled into surgery.
"I hear you plan to go back? Don't do that. Find work in Iran," Zahra told him.
"There's no work in Iran," Hussein said.
As the line went dead, Zahra's face dropped in her hands.
"Afghan lives have no value — both inside and outside Afghanistan," she said.

John Frusciante's 1962 Fender Jaguar (Red)
From 1994 to around 1997 John seems to have lost nearly all of his instruments in a fire that caught his house, and those few that survived were probably sold for money since John was having drug problems at the time. Furthermore, Anthony Kiedis notes in his book 'Scar Tissue' that John had no guitar to his name when he joined the band again in 1998, although according to an interview John gave to Guitarist (UK) in 2003, he did have the red Fender Jaguar.
The truth is probably that John perhaps felt like the Jaguar wasn't good enough for recording and/or playing live with the band. He specifically said that he needed a Stratocaster if he were to record with the band again, which makes sense since he used a Strat on BSSM.
The major problem was John didn't even have a guitar to his name. So we went over to the Guitar Center, and I bought him a great old '62 Stratocaster. John was thrilled by the idea of being back in the band, but he was also scared because he hadn't played the guitar for a very long time. [Scar Tissue, Anthony Kiedis]
I bought that (the red Fender Jaguar) at a guitar store, I think it was Voltage Guitars on Sunset, in 1997. I didn't have a guitar and then I got some money and that was my Christmas present to myself. Then when the guys asked me to rejoin the band I said that I really need a Stratocaster. So Anthony lent me some money and we went to Guitar Centre and I got one with the rosewood neck. It's a '62 and I used that one on practically every track on By The Way. [Guitarist (UK), June 2003 – Universally Speaking]
Be that as it may, the red Jaguar is an important guitar since it was the only one that John had with him from 1997 to 1998 when he joined the Peppers for the second time. This means that the red Jaguar was used extensively during that period and that John spent countless hours practicing on it after going through what must've been a terrible period of time of trying to deal with his drug addiction.
As far as using the guitar in the studio or live, John appeared with it on the cover of September 1999 issue of Guitar One magazine, and in the interview stated that he used a 1966 Fender Jaguar to record "Around the World", and some parts of "This Velvet Glove". The important thing to say about this is that that wasn't his red 1962 Jaguar, but a different guitar borrowed from the band's recording engineer, Jim Scott.
The red Jaguar was however used occasionally live in the late 90s to play "Around the World", most notably at the Woodstock festival on July 25, 1999.
1966 Fender Jaguar (Under the Bridge)
This Fender Jaguar is undeniably best known for its appearance on 'Under the Bridge' video. The date of purchase is unfortunately unknown, but it is known that this was one of John's favorite guitars at the time – the one he'd use for practicing and fooling around in his room. John's Jaguar was finished in what's known as Sherwood green color and features two single-coil pickups, rosewood neck with white binding […]

Sharing telecommunications information assessment – emergency location information
Introduction to Schedule 4 (Emergency location information) of the Telecommunications Information Privacy Code
Schedule 4 of the Telecommunications Information Privacy Code describes itself as follows:
Schedule 4 enables the disclosure of emergency location information ("ELI") by network operators to emergency service providers, and the collection and use of ELI by emergency service providers, for the purpose of establishing the location of an individual who has made an emergency call, in order to facilitate a response to that call; or to prevent or lessen a serious threat to an individual's life or health.
The Schedule regulates location information which is automatically generated when making an emergency call. It also regulates the use of technology that enables the collection of location information about cellular devices in the absence of an emergency call from the individual concerned, where this is necessary to prevent or lessen a serious threat to individual life or health.
The Schedule limits the collection, retention, use and disclosure of ELI to ensure that the sharing and use of this information is at all times connected with responding to an emergency.
