Abstract. The journalistic videos about the protests in Russia in winter 2021 show the extend of manipulation with visual content, which the viewer tends to believe more than the written text. The key media of Germany, the UK, France, Poland and Russia, which published videos from the Russian protests, were taken into account. The study showed fundamental differences in the coverage of the protests between the Russian media and the media of named European countries. The main reason for this contrast, as expected, is in the Russian information machine, which deliberately puts a distorted picture of reality into the heads of its viewers. On the other hand, there are questions to the European footages from Russia, which to a much lesser extent, but still have signs of bias.

In 2015, security contractors at Kryptowire discovered that some cheap Android phones came with pre-installed software that monitors where users go, whom they communicate with and the contents of the text messages they write. Written by the China-based company Shanghai Adups Technology Company, the software transmitted call logs, contact lists, location information, and other data to a Chinese server. Its presence was not notified to users. The company explained that the software was not intended for American phones but was intended to help an unidentified Chinese manufacturer that wanted to be able to store the data in order to improve filtering of junk text messages and phone calls.
The story shows the importance of securing every step along the supply chain if privacy is to be protected, and also looks at one of the ways Chinese companies and their government can monitor user behaviour.

Artists' Association MUU » KATARINA ELVIRA GUDRUNSDOTTER – THE NATURE OF LOVE
KATARINA ELVIRA GUDRUNSDOTTER – THE NATURE OF LOVE
5.4.–12.5.2019
Lönnrotinkatu 33, Helsinki, Finland
Open: Tue – Fri 12-17, Sat – Sun 12-16
image: Katarina Elvira Gudrunsdotter
Katarina Elvira Gudrunsdotter creates temporary experimental installations that explore the existential issues of our time. Examining layers of consciousness through matter, rhythm and movement, the works invite the viewer to participate in a spatial event that reflects on the state of the world.
Katarina Elvira Gudrunsdotter's creative work is inspired by poetry, psychology, philosophy, mysticism and natural elements. She uses everything from traditional artistic materials to objects found on her daily walks. The materials embody a history characterised by the forces of nature or manual craft.
Opening ceremony on Friday, 5 April 2019, from 17:00–19:00. Welcome!
The Nature of Love is a profound conversation between roots of fallen oak trees, pine stumps, driftwood, poetry and photographs in ancient frames, couched in the form of an installation.
Relations between humanity, nature and human bonds is part of Katarina Elvira Gudrunsdotter's artistic exploration. One of the works in the installation is The Mourning Turtle-Dove, inspired by an eponymous book of poems by Swedish writer Hedvig Charlotta Nordenflycht (1718–1763). The poem was written when Nordenflycht was mourning the death of her husband. Other components in The Nature of Love borrow words from marriage vows about togetherness, in which the fragility of the bond establishes parallels with our inescapable relationship with nature.
When Katarina Elvira Gudrunsdotter completed her Master's degree at Edinburgh College of Art, her degree exhibition (2017) included a piece called Peripatetic Poem. It was an installation composed of plastic objects found along the west coast of Sweden, an incorporated interlocking parts named Nest, Take Me Home, Take Me Away and Passage.
Among the influences from Western art history in Katarina Elvira Gudrundotter's work includee the Arte Povera movement and feminist avant-garde. She works in a studio surrounded by pine trees south of Gothenburg, and has since her graduation has worked in a number of residences. Most of the photographs in The Nature of Love installation were created in collaboration with the Margaux Bricler during their stay at ViaFarini, Milan, 2018.

Q: How can I access the 'versionName' property (which is in my Android gradle file) from Jenkins? I have a Jenkins job building an Android app using Gradle. Jenkins sends the $BUILD_VERSION down to the gradle file, no problems, so that the app is able to give itself a version such as 3.2.4.(32) where 32 is the sequential build number of the Jenkins job.
I would like to log the complete version string as part of the Jenkins routine, but Jenkins only knows about the 32.
I've searched for ways to set environment variables etc but I feel like there must be a very easy way to do this that I'm missing.

A: EnvInject plugin is the "very easy way" of doing this :)

Discussions About Muslim Women Should Include Them: To the Contrary!
Posted by sarayasin on 27 Sep 2010 / 0 Comment
In July, two women in France were asked to leave a holiday camp because of an attempt to swim while wearing burqinis, because of "hygiene" issues. While such an incident occurred last summer, this time around it comes hot on the heels of the ban on the burqa and niqab.
The PBS program, To The Contrary, is described as a platform for discussing primarily political reasons concerning women. The purpose is to discuss local and international issues from a diverse range of perspectives. However, this idea of diversity did not come through in a messy and confusing conversation about the potential banning of the burqini. While France has not announced intentions of banning the Islamic swimwear, however, To The Contrary takes this as initiative to discuss the confusing relationship between the two.
What was most disappointing about the segment was its lack of diversity. In a discussion about the clothing of Muslim woman, it was a group of women from diverse backgrounds and professions. However, the voice of a Muslim woman was notably absent. This was frustrating because it reinforces this image of Muslim women being seen and not being heard.
In the beginning, the TV host makes the statement that French Muslim women were outraged by religious discrimination. Thus, while many may feel this way, such a statement also creates a homogenous image of Muslim women. This was mostly irritating because the aim of To The Contrary is to represent the variety of voices on discussion topics, and reinforced a very problematic trend.
While the absence of a Muslim voice was troubling, even more troubling was the direction of the conversation, as well as the inability of the panellists to critically analyze the situation. There was not really a very good starting point. While the attitude towards the burqini is related to the conversation about the burqa, France has not announced any plans to ban Islamic swimwear. The conversation danced around any hard-hitting questions, but rather stayed in politically correct waters.
While most comments were attempts at neutral sound bytes, I thought a few quotes were troubling. For example, Sabrina Schaeffer of the Independent Women's Voice makes a statement that France should be more up front about their desire to ban the burqini, rather than hiding behind the excuse of "sanitation. "She then vaguely refers to France's problems with Muslim extremists. I fail to see the correlation between Islamic extremism and swimming pools.
This was followed by a comment by democratic congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton about how she failed to be able to separate the burqa from oppression, but she says that the burqini is a separate and more ridiculous issue. The most refreshing voice was that of Melinda Henneberger, editor of Politics Daily. She asked questions that pushed the conversation into an actual critique of a potential ban, asking where the line is drawn on control of women's clothing, rather than simply making vague references to freedom.
The scatterbrained conversation eventually descends into an agreement about the merits of American exceptionalism. As Holmes Norton declares that such a thing would not occur in the United States. Even though private entities banning the hijab on their premises is not a new or uncommon issue…I fondly remember being unable to rollerskate at certain rinks as a teenager because of my decision to wear hijab.
A lack of representation as well as a lack of perception made this segment somewhat thought-provoking, but only a reflection of the confusion and lack of understanding of Muslim women. Feminist FAIL.

…And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead w/ Rival Schools – O2 Academy, London 19/04/11
By Francine Gorman / 21 April 2011, 17:12 BST
I'm not going to beat around the bush here or pretend that I am anything other than an ENORMOUS …And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead fan. Because I'm a super fan, as I have been since around about the age of 14. At a similar point in my life, Rival Schools were intercepting my music radar with appearances on MTV2 – my major point of reference for 'alternative' music at the time. Many, many things have changed in the 10 years since then, but what hasn't is my unfaltering adoration of …Trail of Dead, so when the opportunity arose to see them on a co-headline tour with Rival Schools, of course I was first in the queue.
The two headliners tonight are joined by Japanese Voyeurs, a rowdy five piece from London. Unfortunately, the sound in the venue is quite poor for their set, all bass guitar and cymbals. Singer Romily Alice has a Daisy Chainsaw-esque style – high and childlike, juxtaposing the thundering guitars around her. Their sound is dark, heavy and powerful, a breed of rock that isn't particularly 'en vogue' at the moment, but which this band certainly seem to have the energy and fervour to try and reinstate.
Next up are Rival Schools. Reforming in 2008 after a hiatus of a few years, the band released their highly anticipated follow up to 2001′s United By Fate in March after a mere 10 year gap. Tonight is the band's chance to impress with tracks from Pedals, and songs such as 'Wring It Out' and 'Eyes Wide Open' go down well. The set's best received songs, however, are certainly those from their debut, with 'Travel by Telephone' and 'Good Things' attracting squeals of excitement from boys and girls alike in the audience. There are a few shows of camaraderie with their tour mates as Rival Schools, on numerous occasions attempt to crack out a cover of …Trail of Dead's 'Relative Ways'. They've more or less perfected the intro, but apparently not yet learnt the rest of the tune – it's quite a touching gesture in any case. To finish up, singer and guitarist Walter Schreifels hands his guitar to the tech in order to "be able to do some real front man shit", as the band bursts into crowd favourite and ultimate Rival Schools tune, 'Used For Glue'. The crowd's reaction is extremely vocal throughout their entire set, with adoring fans reminiscing about the band's effect over their teenage selves and lapping up the chance to see them on stage again.
The final band of the evening, …And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead's moment finally arrives. Entering the stage to their traditional 'Ode To Isis' theme, the group charge into 'Strange News' from latest album Tao of the Dead. It's a ferocious set tonight, delivered by a notably stripped back band. Previous tours have seen the group take to the stage with two drummers, keys players, extra guitarists, all adding to the sense of chaos that …Trail of Dead are renowned to bring to their shows. Tonight doesn't feel mellow by any means, but in comparison, does seem to be a little less manic. The band tear through a set including the gorgeous 'How Near, How Far', the theatrical 'Will You Smile Again?' and the full version of 'Relative Ways' that Rival Schools so valiantly attempted earlier. Although it feels like the crowd take a little longer to warm up for this band than for Rival Schools, there's no question as to who the majority of the audience are here to see. An impassioned set from a band which, even on a tour supporting their seventh full length album, aren't showing any signs of quietening down.
With a hoarse throat and a left ear drum that, I'm pretty sure has finally been murdered, I join the hoards to leave the O2 Academy. A lot has changed during the past 10 years, but both of tonight's headlining bands have shown that they're still here, as loud, as frenetic and as brilliant as ever. My 14 year old self would have bought a t-shirt, my 24 year old self is wise enough to know they're hideously overpriced. I did nick a poster though…some things don't change.

Welcome to TriTowel, the first triathlon transition towel that actually helps you race!
Bright colours help you spot your place during the hectic rush from swim to bike or from bike to run.
100*60cm size to suit a typical transition area.
100% cotton towel with a permanent woven design.


We start the day early at 5.30 a.m. where we will pick-up all passengers at their hotels and from there head to the town of Ollantaytambo where you will have time for breakfast and to buy sweets, caramels, chocolates or other snacks that will help you during the hike. We then head to Km. 82 Piscacucho (2700 m.a.s.l.) where we will pass by the first control. Shortly after we will start the 2-hour hike to Patallacta (2750 m.a.s.l.) an Inca archaeological site that will be explained by our guide. After visiting this interesting place we will continue to hike for 45 minutes to our lunch spot where our cook and his team will prepare an incredible meal for us. After lunch we will continue our hike for another one and a half hours towards the camping site Wayllabamba (3000 m.a.s.l.) where you will have time for a well-deserved rest and an afternoon snack, followed by dinner before heading to bed.
In the morning we will have breakfast at 5.30 a.m. and straight after continue our hike for 45 minutes to the second control point Wayllabamba. After we will begin the gradual ascent that will take about 1 hour and 30 minutes (4 km) to the second rest point in Llullucha Pampa 3800 m.a.s.l. Following this we will continue the hike for 1 hour and 45 minutes (4 km) to Warmiwañusca pass located at 4215 m.a.s.l. We will then rest for 2 hours and 30 minutes at the campsite of Pacay Mayo 3600 m.a.s.l. where we will have tea and later dinner and where we will also spend the night.
After breakfast we continue our hike, today being 16 km long, following a trail that is surrounded by jungle vegetation and a number of archaeological Inca sites that held different functions during their time. The first archaeological site we visit is Runcurakay (3750 m.a.s.l.), which is located 45 minutes from our starting point and is a complex Inca archaeological site composed of turrets that acted as strategic surveillance sites for the east valley. After, we continue to Runcurakay Pass 3900 m.a.s.l. where we will have an explanation on Inca culture and time for some relaxation. We continue walking for 1 hour and 30 minutes to the second archaeological site where we will visit Sayacmarka (a difficult zone to Access due to the may steep steps). After we continue for 25 minutes to our lunch point at Chaquicocha where we will have lunch, prepared by our cook. This will give us the energy to continue our hike to the next archaeological site called Puyuptamarca 3750 m.a.s.l. that will take about 2 hours and 30 minutes. From there we start a 3-hour descent (steps) to our camping site Wiñayhuayna where we will have tea and dinner. This will be a special one as it will be the final one with our team and where we will say goodbye to our porters.
DAY 4: WIÑAYHUAYNA – MACHUPICHU – CUSCO.

Egmont, 2009.
(Ages 12+) In the second book of the Gone series, life is proving to be very tough after the coming of the FAYZ when everyone over the age of 15 disappeared without trace. More and more kids are developing strange powers and weird animals are popping up everywhere. Sam Temple, a boy who longs for his casual surfing days, has been elected Mayor and is finding it very difficult to cope with the demands of all the children. Everyone is hungry. There is no system for harvesting food, and because there are no rewards for helping out, kids refuse to be cooperative about doing jobs. What is worse, ferocious worms with sharp teeth have taken over the last remnants of crops, and it is life threatening to even attempt to pick a cabbage. And some children are being manipulated by the Darkness and are hearing strange calls saying that it is hungry.
This is a complex multi-layered story. It is essential to read Gone, the first book in the series, before tackling this one (all 586 pages of it). It is probably also a good idea to quickly skim through Gone as a reminder of the many characters and events that have preceded this story. Grant does a great job of maintaining the fast pace and action driven plot that was evident in Gone. His characters are multi-dimensional. The reader sees Sam struggling to be a good leader, even though he is just a kid. Astrid used her exceptional intelligence to problem solve while trying to look after Petey, her little brother and Mary struggles with an eating disorder while trying to supervise the nursery with all the babies. There is conflict between the 'normals' and the 'freaks', led by Zel, who hates anyone who has abnormal powers and leads a lynching party against Hunter. Caine struggles about giving in to the Darkness and Lana, the healer faces the worst thing that could happen to someone whose gift it is to heal.
I was fascinated by the portrayal of leadership and power that Grant paints while juggling a big cast of both good and evil characters and lots of fast paced action. Caine is portrayed as a dictator, needing the whiphand of evil Drake to maintain power, while Sam has attempted to be more democratic. Albert, recognising that the structure of capitalism may be necessary for the group's survival, sets up first a bartering system and then introduces gold as purchasing power. The viciousness of the mob, led by
Zel, is quite frightening, as is the inability of the individual to withstand its pressure.
All in all, Hunger is a gripping science fiction/ horror read and sure to please those readers who like their stories packed with action.

Canada can look to European countries in addressing birth rate crisis, says think tank
Andrew Kozak
New reports from a Canadian think-tank show that the country needs to do more to address its declining birth rate and that policies in European countries offer a path forward.
"Our first step needs to be to stop pushing the myth that women always want to have fewer kids or to prevent pregnancy," Andrea Mrozek, a Senior Fellow with the think-tank Cardus, told True North. "We should find ways to address the things that stop women from having the children they want."
When asked what policies Canada could implement to incentivize women to have more children, Mrozek suggests a cultural shift.
"Young Canadians need to hear messages of empowerment and competence in parenting rather than more warnings about the expense or difficulty of parenting."
Looking at Canada's plan to implement its $10 per day child care program, Mrozek says there isn't much evidence that subsidized child care would increase fertility.
"Quebec's fertility rate has declined despite the highly subsidized child care program," said Mrozek. "The national child care program is unlikely to affect fertility because so many families will not be able to access it."
"National daycare will cover only the federal government's preferred form of care," said Mrozek. "Not the many forms of care families actually use."
A report by Cardus Program Director Peter Jon Mitchell shows that an increasing proportion of young adults aged between 20 and 34 are living unpartnered and those who do marry, marry later.
In 1971, the average age at first marriage was 24 years old for men and 22 for women. In 2008, the numbers jumped to age 31 for men and nearly 30 for women. In 1996, 35% of Canadians between the ages of 20 and 34 were married whereas today it has dropped to just 20%.
Canada's fertility rate sits at 1.40, the lowest in any western country.
"Increased fertility is key to maintaining the country's ability to finance its social safety net and to help fulfill unpaid caring obligations for aging generations," writes Mitchell. "Immigration has masked Canada's declining fertility rate, but that may not last."
"While fertility decline is complex, there is little hope of reversing the trend if marriage and partnership rates decline among Canadian young adults," writes Mitchell. "Leaders at all levels – government, academia, and civil society – need to come to grips with the barriers that prevent the formation of the stable families many people desire."
Mitchell suggests that the implications of low fertility and the imbalance caused by an aging population "will strain the future ability to finance social programs."
"Low fertility and an aging population will also affect aspects of civil society," writes Mitchell. "Fertility rates have an impact on labour supply, health care and public pensions."
Countries such as Hungary, Poland, France and Finland have seen dramatic expansions in pro-birth policies. Mitchell points to those governments in Europe trying to mitigate the impact of low fertility with incentives such as cash benefits, allowances, loans and extended parental leaves as possible solutions.
According to Lyman Stone, a senior fellow at Cardus and demographer for the Institute for Family Studies, Poland's 500+ program increased the birth rate dramatically before eventually levelling out. The program provides a monthly benefit of $150 CAD for each second and subsequent child up until the child turns 18.
"Poland's pro-natal policy is a generous and now nearly-universal cash benefit," writes Stone. "So, unsurprisingly, it's working."
Another analysis report by Cardus shows financial support in Finland allows those eligible to receive nearly $500 per month per child under three after parental leave. "Finland offers a choice of subsidized child care through either daycare or the home care allowance which can be used for home care, granny care, neighbour care or other private forms of care," writes Cardus.
France offers benefits that increase based on having more children. "Parents automatically receive a family allowance after the birth of the second dependent child and until the child reaches age 20, the parents are entitled to additional support," the report writes.
According to the report, Hungary spends 4.7% of its GDP on family benefits which "include tax breaks, service, and money for families with children. Daycare and kindergarten are free." Hungarian parents can expect 70% of one parent's salary who stays at home with a child in the first year.
Cardus offers several recommendations that the government of Canada could adopt including lowering taxes for families with children and maintaining neutrality towards private forms of child care.
"Build on the successful Canada Child Benefit," writes Cardus, "monthly amounts should be increased, including for middle-income families for whom child care-related expenses are a significant burden."

Looking for the best way to see the rally? Volunteer workers get the opportunity to see the action up close from prime locations. The Lake Superior Performance Rally is a large event spread out over hundreds of square miles in the beautiful Upper Peninsula. An event of this magnitude cannot happen without the volunteers who come out and help. Volunteers of all experience levels are always welcome and can help out by pitching in to serve a number of different race positions.
Most rally volunteers are assigned to the stages with a typical stage requiring a dozen or more workers. Course marshals get the opportunity to the see the cars up close, often at full speed, while helping to control road access, assisting both rally and non-rally traffic and helping spectators. No experience is necessary making this an ideal place to start! Don't worry, an experienced stage captain will be there to help you find your spot in the woods.
Efficient and effective communications are vital to the success of the rally. If you have an amateur radio license your help is needed to provide the "safety net" for the rally by providing the communications link that starts and stops special stages, provides communication between rally officials and provide appropriate action in the event of an incident or emergency. Radio operators are typically placed at the beginning and end of stages as well as at designated spectator areas. On some longer stages radio operators may be assigned to locations along the stage. Radio operators will need to provide their own equipment and some locations may require a mobile while others can be serviced by an HT.
Time control is an essential element of rally racing. A typical stage will have multiple time controls including an Arrival Time Control (ATC) and a Finish Time Control (FTC). The ATC is where the competitors will check in to begin a stage. The ATC workers check the competitor in by recording their arrival time on the competitors score card as well on a log. When race communications gives the go ahead the ATC workers start cars on the stage at predetermined intervals, recording their actual start times. ATC workers interface with the co-drivers to manage the start of the stage.
Similarly, at the end of the stage volunteers will set up the FTC. The cars will race by the "flying finish" at high speed while an FTC worker observes and reports the time the car finished the stage to another control worker. That control worker will meet with the co-driver to complete their timecard as well record the results on a log.
Before entering or when exiting a designated service area (or the Parc Exposé or Parc Fermé) competitors will pass through a Main Time Control (MTC). MTC workers get to see the rally cars up close and personal and are often located very near to service areas. The MTC worker will assign start times and work wtih the co-driver to assure their time card and the control log are filled out.
Stage rallying has stringent rules governing the competitor vehicles as well as the safety equipment requirements for crew and competitors making for a strong safety record. Rallying is a high performance motor sport performed on various road surfaces within close proximity to dense forest – often at night. It is essential that medical assistance can quickly respond in the event of an incident during the race. Medical teams are located at various locations on the special stages to assure minimal response times and are always assigned to spectator areas. Medical workers can be Doctors, Nurses, Licensed EMTs, First Responders, Ski Patrol or Paramedics. Volunteers must be able to provide their own equipment.
Experienced teams with 4 wheel drive vehicles travel the course behind the rally cars, usually accompanied by a medical team. The first sweep vehicle follows a minute behind the last competitor onto the special stage. The rest of the team follows along performing various duties such as picking up control logs, rescuing vehicles, etc.

On Sunday 27 August 2017, Ashfield based pianist Jennifer Hou won the 2017 Fine Music Young Virtuoso State Final with her brilliant performances of Ross Edwards' Piano Sonata, Mvt 1 and Chopin's Ballade No 1, Op. 23.
Jennifer's performance in The John Allison & Sydney Eisteddfod Piano Scholarship caught the attention of Fine Music officials and she was selected as a finalist for the NSW Young Virtuoso Award.
The award for musicians and singers 25 years & under, provides career boosting broadcast opportunities as well as cash prizes.
"Winning the YVA state final means a great deal to me. It is one of my biggest achievements so far. It has invested me with confidence and strengthened my devotion to the piano. It has also enabled me to meet other young and talented musicians with whom I hope to play in the future. It is a fantastic event, and I am honoured to have taken part."
Winning the state final qualifies Jennifer for the YVA National Final at 2pm on Sunday 26 November 2017, where she will represent NSW.
"I hope to repeat my success at the National Final by preparing carefully with my wonderful teacher Dr Bernadette Harvey" she said.
"Beyond that, I am looking forward to my Honours year in 2018! It will be a year where I can really focus on piano and even practise every day! New and challenging repertoire awaits!" she said.
Jennifer says that opportunities provided by Sydney Eisteddfod and Fine Music Young Virtuoso Award allow emerging artists to grow and develop in a supportive environment.
"Playing for an audience in competitions like these is important to me because it tests my nerves and improves my temperament as a performer. It also provides me with an opportunity to receive helpful feedback from distinguished Australian musicians. The supportive environments which these competitions offer also motivates me: the organisers and volunteers are so kind and encouraging!" she said.
Second prize was awarded to Jessica Harper who, earlier in 2017, place 2nd in the Sydney Eisteddfod Opera Scholarship and won the Opera & Arts Support Group Vocal Scholarship.
The other talented finalists who were selected from the Sydney Eisteddfod Opera Scholarship, NSW Doctors Orchestra Sydney Eisteddfod Instrumental Scholarship and The John Allison & Sydney Eisteddfod Piano Scholarship were: Imogen-Faith Malfitano (Wollongong, NSW), Enrico-Sergio Mainas (Maroubra, NSW), Rachel Thompson (Oatley, NSW) and Jamie McCarthy (Croydon Park, NSW).
Sydney Eisteddfod was delighted to be able to partner with Fine Music in 2017 to provide these opportunities for emerging performers.

Mission Impossible: A Low-Cost, Cross-Platform, Premium Media Streaming CMS
One day, not so very long ago, Kevin and Tom stopped by for a visit and asked me, "Can we build a low-cost Content Management System (CMS) on .NET that serves up audio and video content? The site also needs to sell access to the A/V content, and oh…the CMS users will be non-technical and it has to work on the iPad too." I replied that of course we could build such a system and would get back to them with a plan.
Then I thought: What did I just promise?

Sweet Alert

A beautiful replacement for JavaScript's "Alert"

<button class="download">Download</button>

So... What does it do?

Here's a comparison of a standard error message. The first one uses the built-in alert-function, while the second is using sweetAlert.

Normal alert

	<button>Show error message</button>

Code:

alert("Oops... Something went wrong!");

Sweet Alert

	<button>Show error message</button>

Code:

sweetAlert("Oops...", "Something went wrong!", "error");

Pretty cool huh? SweetAlert automatically centers itself on the page and looks great no matter if you're using a desktop computer, mobile or tablet. It's even highly customizeable, as you can see below!

More examples

In these examples, we're using the shorthand function swal to call sweetAlert.

A basic message

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal("Here's a message!")

A title with a text under

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal("Here's a message!", "It's pretty, isn't it?")

A success message!

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal("Good job!", "You clicked the button!", "success")

A warning message, with a function attached to the "Confirm"-button...

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal({
  title: "Are you sure?",
  text: "You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!",
  type: "warning",
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonColor: "#DD6B55",
  confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete it!",
  closeOnConfirm: false
},
function(){
  swal("Deleted!", "Your imaginary file has been deleted.", "success");
});

... and by passing a parameter, you can execute something else for "Cancel".

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal({
  title: "Are you sure?",
  text: "You will not be able to recover this imaginary file!",
  type: "warning",
  showCancelButton: true,
  confirmButtonColor: "#DD6B55",
  confirmButtonText: "Yes, delete it!",
  cancelButtonText: "No, cancel plx!",
  closeOnConfirm: false,
  closeOnCancel: false
},
function(isConfirm){
  if (isConfirm) {
    swal("Deleted!", "Your imaginary file has been deleted.", "success");
  } else {
	    swal("Cancelled", "Your imaginary file is safe :)", "error");
  }
});

A message with a custom icon

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal({
  title: "Sweet!",
  text: "Here's a custom image.",
  imageUrl: "images/thumbs-up.jpg"
});

An HTML message

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal({
  title: "HTML <small>Title</small>!",
  text: "A custom <span style="color:#F8BB86">html<span> message.",
  html: true
});

A message with auto close timer

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal({
  title: "Auto close alert!",
  text: "I will close in 2 seconds.",
  timer: 2000,
  showConfirmButton: false
});

A replacement for the "prompt" function

			<button>Try me!</button>

swal({
  title: "An input!",
  text: "Write something interesting:",
  type: "input",
  showCancelButton: true,
  closeOnConfirm: false,
  animation: "slide-from-top",
  inputPlaceholder: "Write something"
},
function(inputValue){
  if (inputValue === false) return false;

  if (inputValue === "") {
    swal.showInputError("You need to write something!");
    return false
  }

  swal("Nice!", "You wrote: " + inputValue, "success");
});

You can also change the theme of SweetAlert!

			<button>Try me!</button>

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dist/sweetalert.css">
			<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/twitter.css">

Download & install

Method 1: Install through bower:

$ bower install sweetalert

Method 2: Install through NPM:

$ npm install sweetalert

Method 3: Download the sweetAlert CSS and JavaScript files.

Download files

Initialize the plugin by referencing the necessary files:

<script src="dist/sweetalert.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="dist/sweetalert.css">

Call the sweetAlert-function after the page has loaded

swal({
  title: "Error!",
  text: "Here's my error message!",
  type: "error",
  confirmButtonText: "Cool"
});

Configuration

Here are the keys that you can use if you pass an object into sweetAlert:

			Argument

		Default value

			Description

		title
		null (required)
		The title of the modal. It can either be added to the object under the key "title" or passed as the first parameter of the function.

		text
		null
		A description for the modal. It can either be added to the object under the key "text" or passed as the second parameter of the function.

		type
		null
		The type of the modal. SweetAlert comes with 4 built-in types which will show a corresponding icon animation: "warning", "error", "success" and "info". You can also set it as "input" to get a prompt modal. It can either be put in the object under the key "type" or passed as the third parameter of the function.

      allowEscapeKey
      true
      If set to true, the user can dismiss the modal by pressing the Escape key.

		customClass
		null
		A custom CSS class for the modal. It can be added to the object under the key "customClass".

		allowOutsideClick
		false
		If set to true, the user can dismiss the modal by clicking outside it.

		showCancelButton
		false
		If set to true, a "Cancel"-button will be shown, which the user can click on to dismiss the modal.

		showConfirmButton
		true
		If set to false, the "OK/Confirm"-button will be hidden. Make sure you set a timer or set allowOutsideClick to true when using this, in order not to annoy the user.

		confirmButtonText
		"OK"
		Use this to change the text on the "Confirm"-button. If showCancelButton is set as true, the confirm button will automatically show "Confirm" instead of "OK".

		confirmButtonColor
		"#AEDEF4"
		Use this to change the background color of the "Confirm"-button (must be a HEX value).

		cancelButtonText
		"Cancel"
		Use this to change the text on the "Cancel"-button.

		closeOnConfirm
		true
		Set to false if you want the modal to stay open even if the user presses the "Confirm"-button. This is especially useful if the function attached to the "Confirm"-button is another SweetAlert.

		closeOnCancel
		true
		Same as closeOnConfirm, but for the cancel button.

		imageUrl
		null
		Add a customized icon for the modal. Should contain a string with the path to the image.

		imageSize
		"80x80"
		If imageUrl is set, you can specify imageSize to describes how big you want the icon to be in px. Pass in a string with two values separated by an "x". The first value is the width, the second is the height.

		timer
		null
		Auto close timer of the modal. Set in ms (milliseconds).

		html
		false
		If set to true, will not escape title and text parameters. (Set to false if you're worried about XSS attacks.)

		animation
		true
		If set to false, the modal's animation will be disabled.

		inputType
		"text"
		Change the type of the input field when using type: "input" (this can be useful if you want users to type in their password for example).

		inputPlaceholder
		null
		When using the input-type, you can specify a placeholder to help the user.

		inputValue
		null
		Specify a default text value that you want your input to show when using type: "input"

Methods

SweetAlert also comes with some simple methods that you can call:

			Function

		Example

			Description

		setDefaults
		swal.setDefaults({ confirmButtonColor: '#0000' });
		If you end up using a lot of the same settings when calling SweetAlert, you can use setDefaults at the start of your program to set them once and for all!

		close
		swal.close();
		Close the currently open SweetAlert programatically.

		showInputError
		swal.showInputError("Invalid email!");
		Show an error message after validating the input field, if the user's data is bad

Had your house broken into? Been hustled by some cheeky teenagers? Been harassed by a new law that has made your job twice as hard? Tried to get the police or the courts to come to your rescue and fallen on your face?


Embedded developers, like other technologists, are sprinting in two directions at once. As board standards shrink, so does the amount of available and arable real estate. Yet, vendors are expected to deliver on an increasingly wide array of features —from triple-independent, high-definition video displays to vast I/O panels. To find out where this is all going, Embedded Intel® Solutions organized a virtual roundtable discussion with three industry representatives: Todd Shaner, business development manager of ITOX Applied Computing; Frank Shen, product marketing director of American Portwell Technology; and Victor Borlaza, northeast regional business development manager of AAEON Electronic.
EIS: Point-of-care medicine is being touted as a growing and opportune market for embedded developers, in large part because people are living longer but suffering from more chronic illnesses. What barriers remain to developing more compact and sophisticated embedded components for point-of-care systems?
Victor Borlaza: The broadest challenge to achieving more compact products lies in providing overall cost effective solutions, because applications continue to increase in complexity. While smaller forms of solid-state media such as Compact- Flash and Disk On Modules become more prevalent, they are not as cost effective per gigabyte compared to a hard drive.
Frank Shen: I see three biggies: low overall system power consumption to enable longer run time for battery operated mobile cart and reduce frequency of recharging; crisper video performance to enable high-resolution video streaming, which makes some medical images in PACS (picture archiving and communication systems) more feasible to display and better video viewing experience for bedside communication and entertainment.
Todd Shaner: Obviously, the number one concern is lowering power and overall cost for whatever platform is being developed. We're hearing that all the time, even in medicine, which isn't always as cost sensitive as direct consumer markets. The other issue is that most of today's Intel® architecture platforms are multicore and many traditional applications weren't written to take advantage of multicore. Programming teams and software developers are being chalchallenged to bring to bear the right tools and compilers that allow them to fully utilize multicore processor architecture.
Another barrier, to some extent, is liability, because applications— including life support equipment—are going into end-user home environments, dealing with an individual and life support equipment. Liability goes back to the OEM, as well as Intel.
EIS: What other developmental challenges lie ahead for small form factor devices?
Borlaza: The physical size itself has its limitations. It is becoming more challenging to populate small form factor devices with all of the necessary I/O requirements in today's evolving technology. There also tends to be a trade-off dictated by the chipset as to whawhat features can and cannot be used.
Shen: We have received many new inquiries for modular product such as Qseven (70mm x 70mm) modules. We realized that the modular computing system architecture speeds up time to market and is flexible for upgrade to future processor technology. It is a shift from all-in-one embedded to modular approach.
Shaner: As you reduce the board size, especially when you're getting down to System on Modules like COM Express, you reduce the capacity to cool the device, especially for passive heat sinks. Again, this points out that further power reduction is going to be required at these smaller geometries. The other aspect is that when you have a smaller board, you obviously have less real estate to put down devices and connectors, so it makes it more challenging to provide the I/Os and feature sets customers need.

Lucky escape for driver of two-crash car
The driver of the car had a lucky escape

Published: 08:43 Updated: 12:42 Monday 23 January 2017
A driver had a lucky escape yesterday after the car he was driving was involved in two crashes on the M6, say fire services.
The Northbound carriageway of the M6 was closed after the car was first involved in a collision with a milk tanker.
The accident happened at around 22.40 on 22 January between junctions 33 and 34.
A spokesperson for the fire service said: "The car flipped onto its roof during the incident but the occupant managed to free himself from his vehicle. This was fortunate as another car then crashed into his car.
"The first car had its roof ripped off and was severely damaged by the second crash."
Both car drivers were taken to Royal Lancaster Infirmary, but nobody is thought to have been seriously injured, say fire services.

Small Business Focus: Santa Claus is Coming to Arlington
Posted on 12/20/21 by Alex Held
While Jolly Ole St. Nick gets all the credit for delivering gifts every holiday season, this year BizLaunch has pulled together its resources to bring together some awesome opportunities for small businesses this year and beyond.
Funding for BizLaunch's ReLaunch program now extends into 2023. With a bit of help from our dear friend at the North Pole, we're able to help small businesses launch their storefront online and provide high-level business counseling services through 2023.
ReLaunch is a free program for small businesses that started in 2021, with two components, ReVitalize and ReNew. Through ReVitalize, companies can access up to 10 hours of business consulting services. Through ReNew, companies can get support in enabling technology in their business. An example could include the development of a website/e-commerce solution or helping small companies implement business analytics into their current website.
Since the program began, we've been able to help 163 small businesses in Arlington and recently have completed 17 website/e-commerce projects. For our Small Business Focus, we thought we'd share with you some of the firms that have received a new website/e-commerce solution thanks to ReLaunch.
Island Jewelry
Danitza Galindo, Owner Island Jewelry
As with many small businesses, Island Jewelry wasn't immune to the effects of COVID-19. Like many legacy businesses, Island Jewelry, located in the Fashion Centre at Pentagon City, didn't have a website to reach a wider audience and depended on foot traffic. "However, finding ReLaunch was like finding light at the end of the tunnel. ReLaunch was perfect for my small business. I was thankful to be able to gain assistance with developing my website," says Danitza Galindo, Owner Island Jewelry.
With the help of Nub8 and AWS, Island Jewelry now has a new, secure website that is easy to update. "In fact, on the first day of the launch of our website, I had my first online sale!" "I would like to acknowledge the experts and team of professionals that helped make my dreams come true to serve my online community. Helping me reach a broader audience of current and future clients," says Galindo.

The Food Sherpa
Now is the time of year when many people put together their New Year Resolutions. If you or someone you know resolves to eat better, or maybe even get more fit, The Food Sherpa is for you.
Started in 2007 by Keith Steury, the Food Sherpa is your guide to great food. The Food Sherpa provides customized meal plans, cooking classes and special events for busy clients. Like many startups, Food Sherpa launched its website in 2007 and redesigned it in 2014, using it as a tool to onboard clients over the last 14 years. "My old website was pretty content-heavy, and that my website had served as an integral part of the onboarding process for new clients. For this reason, I was a little hesitant to launch this project", said Keith Steury, owner of The Food Sherpa.
Keith began working with Nub8 and AWS in September, "My initial reservations in working with Jayson and William, part of the Nub8 team, were completely unwarranted." "They were knowledgeable, responsive and extremely accommodating throughout the duration of this project," said Steury.
With the help from Nub8 and AWS, the Food Sherpa went through a complete overhaul of their website. "While I am still learning WordPress, I am confident that this new site design and structure will save me much time. Making this part of my job much easier moving forward," said Steury.
If you're looking for a gift to help someone with their New Year's Resolutions, look no further than The Food Sherpa.
King of Koshary
If you're looking for a switch from the traditional American holiday flare, order take out from King of Koshary – Egyptian Cuisine. King of Koshary launched in Arlington in 2019, a family-owned small business in the heart of Arlington. Since its opening, King of Koshary had received much notoriety in Arlington for its traditional Egyptian/Middle Eastern Cuisine.
King of Koshary had a website; however, the website didn't allow customers to purchase online. With COVID-19 lockdowns causing a shift in consumer purchasing preferences, King of Koshary realized they needed an e-commerce component to their online presence. "Arlington County helped to pull my business from bankruptcy turning it into a surviving and growing business," says Ayoub Metry, Manager, King of Koshary.
Thanks to the help from ReLaunch, Nub8 and AWS. King of Koshary was able to add an e-commerce option to their website, making it convenient for customers to try their authentic Egyptian cuisine.
