November 2, 2009 A senior delegation from the Lebanese Internal Security Forces returned to Lebanon yesterday from a two-week visit sponsored by the U.S. government to study community policing practices in the United States.
During the visit, the delegation held discussions with U.S. Department of State and police association officials in Washington, D.C. before traveling to Chicago, Illinois, Reno, Nevada and San Diego, California where they met with police executives to gain an operational understanding of community policing. These American police departments have been identified as among the best examples of community policing at work, a law-enforcement philosophy whereby the police and the citizens they protect and serve work closely together to identify and solve problems that are of mutual concern . The goal of community policing is to establish a more effective police department which better meets the needs of the citizens while building an environment of trust and mutual respect.
Upon the delegation's return to Lebanon, ISF Inspector General Simon Haddad said that the concept of community policing will have a great impact on the ISF: "Community policing is a very great step the ISF and the Lebanese society. This is the best way to solve problems and it is a link between the ISF and the families in the community….We now have a clear picture of how to do this in Lebanon." The delegation also included five other ISF officers: Chief of Staff General Joseph El Hajal, Head of the ISF Operations General Sami Nabhan, Head of Training General Mounir Chaaban, Director General of the Political Affairs and the Palestinian Refugee Affairs at the Ministry of Interior General Nicolas Habr, and Assistant Chief of the Information Unit Colonel Said Fawaz.
The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) sponsors a community policing training program for the Nahr El Bared Refugee camp, where community policing will be implemented to initiate a positive relationship between the ISF and the Palestinian community. The State Department Bureau of Narcotics and Law Enforcement (INL) program with the ISF provides 24 US police advisors who are training Lebanese cadets, instructors, and supervisors at the ISF academy in Lebanon. In addition, INL has provided non lethal policing equipment, vehicles, and facility refurbishments to ISF facilities.

Shipments to the world's biggest smartphone market totaled 14.5 million units, down 19.9 percent from a year ago, according to data from the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology, a government-affiliated research institute. Overall consumer purchases typically slow during February as the Chinese spend much of the month with family celebrating the Lunar New Year. Apple cited slowing iPhone sales in China when it took the rare step of cutting its sales forecast earlier this year.

Note: this document applies to version 6.x of Team Password Manager. If your version of Team Password Manager is lower than this one, please check this document: Granting access to passwords and projects.
Previous versions of Team Password Manager (lower than V6) had a very simple security model, mainly based on granting access to passwords and projects. V6 security model is more complete and defines permissions, which allow a better definition of access to passwords and projects.
This document describes the security/permissions model in Team Password Manager V6 and up.
Not defined/set: the permissions on a project are not set. The effective permission on a project is then calculated from groups. If the resulting permission from groups is also not defined, no access is given.
No access: the user/group doesn't have access to the project or any of its passwords. The name of the project may be seen if the user/group has access to any of its passwords.
Traverse: the user/group can see the project name only. Used to traverse the project to its subprojects (subprojects can be seen in the projects tree) and for project managers/it users create subprojects in it without having access to any of their data and passwords.
Read: the user/group can read project data and download files and see the passwords of the project (but not create).
Read / Create passwords: the user/group can read project data and download files, read the passwords of the project and create passwords in it.
Read / Edit passwords data: the user/group can read project data and download files, and edit data from its passwords. Can also create passwords.
Read / Manage passwords: the user/group can read project data and download files, and manage its passwords. Can also create passwords.
Manage (default for the creator): total access and control over the project and its passwords. Normal users with manage permission cannot move the project to another parent, create subprojects inside it or delete it. Only leaf projects can be deleted.
Inherit: inherits the permission set in the parent project. Note that this doesn't mean that it will inherit the effective permission in the parent project, but the one that's set there. This permission doesn't apply to projects that don't have a parent (first level or root projects).
Permissions can be defined globally for all the users (which will also apply to new users) or to individual users and groups.
Not defined/set (default): the permissions on a password are not set. When this happens, the permissions are defined by group membership or from the project.
No access: the user/group can't see anything from the password (not even the name).
Read: the user/group can read data from the password and download files.
Edit data: can edit data and upload files but can't do anything else with the password (set custom fields, lock, delete, etc.).
Manage (default for the creator): total access and control over the password. Users/groups with manage permission on the project have this permission on the password.
Note that if a user is a manager in the password's project, he/she has by default "Manage" permission on the password, and this cannot be overriden in the password.
1. A user permission takes precedence over a group permission.
2. If there are different permissions in different groups, the one with most access takes precedence.
3. A specific password permission takes precedence over the one set in the project for its passwords. Exception: if a user has "manage" permission over the project of the password, this takes precedence.
Result: the user will be able to edit the data for all the passwords except for password X, on which he doesn't have access.
Versions below V6 had a global setting called "Editing Policy" that regulated how users could manage a password: if anyone that had access to a password could manage it or if only its manager could manage it.
This setting in V6 disappears because this can be controlled explicitly in each project/password using the provided permissions.
If upgrading from previous versions, the upgrade process will take care of assigning the correct permissions depending on your editing policy setting value.

A far greater risk of variable pay schemes however is that it discourages risk taking. Incentive comes when employees adhere to stipulations, and critics contend that most incentive plans are manipulative and steer workers to a desired behavior beach cover up, treating employees like a cog in the machine. The prospect of offering group or even individual incentives make supervisors force employees to work unpaid overtime or skip breaks..

They are not a necessity best beach blanket, but they do make a suit more formal than it would otherwise be, as well as warmer Tankini Swimwear.


It has been a long, cold, snowy winter here in Michigan, and we could all use a little reminder that spring WILL actually arrive! I encourage anyone interested in gardening, whether a novice or an advanced gardener, to treat themselves to the Dow Gardens Know & Grow Seminar, being held Saturday, February 22nd in Midland, Michigan.
The Dow Gardens were started in 1899 by Herbert Dow, founder of The Dow Chemical Company. The Gardens, originally developed on eight acres of flat, sandy land, provided a creative outlet for Herbert Dow' and his interest in agriculture and design. He created gardens, ponds and hills according to a simple philosophy that the Gardens still follow to this day: "never reveal the gardens' whole beauty at first glance." Thanks to the dedicated guidance of the Dow family, the Gardens have grown to 110 acres. Today, the creativity of Herbert Dow is still revealed to all those who visit Dow Gardens.
So call some friends, get in touch with your garden club or just give yourself a present; plan to attend the Dow Gardens Know & Grow Seminar and begin your garden planning!
An Early Spring - Indoors!

are organic blue corn chips unhealthy to eat?
They are certainly better than commercial chips!
I don't consider any cooked oils to be "healthy" or "health-building".
Haven't you read our FAQ (above), foxytina?
We encourage vegans to eat healthy food: we don't want vegans to develop into examples of poor health due to improper nutrition. This does not apply to blue corn chips, which we recommend that you eat anyway, healthy or not, because they are so damned good.
*puts blue corn chips on shopping list* i never bought them b/c i thought they would taste like regular tortilla chips.
Can I get organic blue corn chips in Australia?

* Data determined in accordance with the measurement method required by law. Since 1 September 2017 certain new cars have been type approved in accordance with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure to measure fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emissions. As of 1 September 2018 the WLTP replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC). Due to the more realistic test conditions, the fuel/electricity consumption and CO₂ emission values determined in accordance with the WLTP will, in many cases, be higher than those determined in accordance with the NEDC. This may lead to corresponding changes in vehicle taxation from 1 September 2018. You can find more information on the difference between WLTP and NEDC at www.porsche.com/wltp.
Currently, we are still obliged to provide the NEDC values, regardless of the type approval process used. The additional reporting of the WLTP values is voluntary until their obligatory use. As far as new cars (which are type approved in accordance with the WLTP) are concerned, the NEDC values will, therefore, be derived from the WLTP values during the transition period. To the extent that NEDC values are given as ranges, these do not relate to a single, individual car and do not constitute part of the offer. They are intended solely as a means of comparing different types of vehicle. Extra features and accessories (attachments, tyre formats, etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics and, in addition to weather and traffic conditions, as well as individual handling, can affect the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions and performance values of a car.

Several months before most Jews start to think about Purim, there are those who pay special attention to the world around them, the cultural themes and products of the moment, the politics and social proclivities. These Jews are the comedically inclined creatives who feel Purim approaching in their kishkes. They are the ones who craft sketches, song parodies and Purim-based satire to entertain their communities.
When Kutner moved to New York in the early 2000s to write for "The Daily Show," he had to leave his L.A. spiritual home, "my beloved Shtibl Minyan," and "hit upon the idea of staging my own spiel (The Shushan Channel) with professional actors and writers as a way to create my own community. You know the saying: 'If you grog it, they will come,' " he said.
A few years in, I became involved in Kutner's production, first as a volunteer, then as a writer and "sort-of" (not very good) very occasional actor. My spiel journey has continued for the past several years at IKAR; our writers convene at Bibi's Bakery about six weeks before the holiday, so that resident baker and funny man Dan Messinger can be part of the comedy collusion. Our table has writing and production alumni of TV shows past and present, and a few comedy civilians, either recruited or self-selected into the creative company.
Jenna Turow, a student at and spieler for the Ziegler School of Rabbinic Studies at American Jewish University, started spieling after years of writing and acting in sketches and song parodies at camp and in United Synagogue Youth (USY).
Turow also found spieling, and Purim in general, to be really helpful while dealing with her mother's terminal illness. "It is a blessing to be given the responsibility to cause joy for myself and others," she said.
Turow tries to avoid politics in the spiel, "because I'd rather focus on things that we can laugh at more recklessly, without the worries of everyday life creeping in," she said.
Kutner includes political references, but avoids entirely political spiels.

Report: "Massive" growth on marketplaces
Heather McIlvaine
Online marketplaces like Ebay, Amazon and Alibaba saw "massive growth" in 2017.
That is according to Ben Franzi, general manager for parcels and express services at Australia Post, which today released its annual Inside Australian Online Shopping Report.
While the e-commerce sector as a whole grew 18.7 per cent in 2017, marketplaces on average grew 74.8 per cent, according to the report. Franzi declined to share the growth rates of individual marketplaces but noted that Ebay represents around 25 per cent of Australia's entire e-commerce market.
"Australians really appreciate the convenience of being able to access goods from a variety of sellers in the one location," he said.
Citing the entrance of new marketplace players – like Myer and Catch – he called 2017 "the year of the marketplace". Franzi said it was too soon to say what impact Amazon has had on Australia's e-commerce sector, since the marketplace launched Down Under last December, but he noted an overall "halo effect".
"In the lead-up to them launching, they copped a lot of press. For almost six months, you couldn't pick up an article without reading about them. But they raised the visibility of online shopping for the average consumer," he told Internet Retailing.
According to Australia Post's report, Australians spent $21.3 billion online last year, with fashion the top-selling category, increasing 27.2 per cent in the past year, health and beauty products growing 13.2 per cent and homewares and appliances growing 10.9 per cent.
Franzi expects e-commerce spending to reach $25 billion in 2018, which would account for around 8 per cent of overall retail sales. One in every 10 sales could transpire online as early as 2020/21, when e-commerce spending is predicted to reach $35 billion in Australia. Franzi said it is "debatable" whether Australia will ever catch up to markets like the US and UK, where the share of sales occurring online is already firmly in the double digits.
China opportunity
While 80 per cent of e-commerce spending went to domestic retailers, a bigger share of the dollars going to overseas online sellers went to Chinese sellers, according to the report.
"I can say that international outbound out of China is growing well over 40 per cent," Franzi said, adding that much of this spending occurs on marketplaces like AliExpress, Alibaba's marketplace for consumers outside China. Aussie consumers are definitely buying more from AliExpress."
Australian retailers continue to use marketplaces like Alibaba's Tmall Global and JD.com to access the lucrative international market, the total online spend of which has increased 46.7 per cent to $2.08 trillion in the past two years. Fashion, health supplements and other wellbeing products and cosmetics are among Australia's most popular online exports.
Meanwhile, Australia Post's recent move to open a 'box store' in the Sydney suburb of Chatswood underscores the growing importance of 'daigou' as a way for Australian brands and retailers to reach Chinese consumers.
The Australia Post store stocks in-demand products and packing material and only ships to China. It is specifically targeted at daigou, Chinese consumers who buy items in Australia and ship them to friends, family and other customers in China.
"The daigou work has been going on for a number of years. It's quite popular but limited to specific categories like health, beauty and baby," Franzi said. "What we're doing is purely a concept store. It's not a post office, it's replicating the box stores you seen when you walk through Chinatown or Box Hill. We're seeing whether that works or not under the Australia Post brand," he said.

AAL approached BLUE at a critical moment in its history, as it prepared to rebrand from Austral Asia Line to AAL Shipping. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Singapore, AAL has grown into one of the world's largest multipurpose shipping operators, serving the breakbulk, heavy lift and project cargo sectors.
The decision to rebrand to AAL Shipping was led by the need to reflect the global strength of the business and its future ambitions, in order to consolidate AAL's position as a leading global ocean transport operator and to prepare for its next phase of growth.
BLUE's brief was to support AAL as it entered a more active phase of communications to support the unveiling of new brand, to showcase AAL's industry-leading expertise, to promote AAL's value proposition, particularly within key local markets and target sectors, and to support the ongoing process of building a single, overarching global brand.
BLUE designed and delivered a bespoke communications strategy and programme, built upon a clearly defined set of messages for AAL's audiences in different sectors and thought leadership positions on a number of key industry issues. This programme encompassed an active media relations campaign, drawing upon BLUE's extensive relationships with leading shipping media, as well as ongoing strategic communications counsel on individual campaigns, such as AAL's co-operation agreement with Peter Döhle.
BLUE has helped AAL to deliver a smooth, effective and impactful transition to its new corporate identity and to rapidly establish the AAL Shipping name across the international shipping industry. Through an active media relations programme, AAL spokespeople have led industry debate and championed a range of important issues, such as the imperative of maintaining quality and safety standards in the MPP market.

Adobe announces series of innovations designed to empowers brands to succeed in the metaverse
March 17, 2022 2022, 3D Assets & Modeling, Apps, AR/VR Experience, Augmented Reality News, Business to Business & Enterprise, Collaborations & Partnerships, Creative, Development, e-commerce, Entertainment, Gaming, Media & Advertising, News, Platform, Product Launch, Software, Virtual Reality News
In Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality News
March 17, 2022 At the Adobe Summit Digital Experience Conference this week, Adobe has announced a series of innovations, integrations and investments that the company stated are designed to position brands to succeed in the metaverse.
Building upon the capabilities Adobe currently offers for creating immersive 3D experiences, e-commerce platforms and digital experiences, Adobe announced innovations for designing, creating and delivering engaging and realistic virtual experiences. New integrations across Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Experience Cloud will bring Adobe's 3D content creation and personalization solutions to businesses and users.
According to Adobe, later this year it will expand its 3D capabilities in its Substance 3D Collection, which currently includes Substance 3D Stager, Painter, Sampler, Designer and 3D Asset Library, with an all-new Substance 3D Modeler app, providing an end-to-end solution for 3D visuals and experiences. Adobe's 3D and immersive content creation tools can be used to build immersive experiences, including games and interactive commerce and educational experiences.
Adobe will also continue integrating its 3D content, effects and capabilities across Creative Cloud applications, building on recently released integrations with Illustrator and After Effects. In addition, Adobe offers a tool for authoring experiences in augmented reality, Adobe Aero.
The company also previewed immersive tools from its research labs, including tools that will empower businesses to bring e-commerce experiences to the metaverse and other virtual, digital experiences. Specifically, Adobe will preview AR shopping capabilities that enable marketers to embed AR markers into digital images on their websites. Customers will be able to take a photo of a product online and automatically see its exact size and fit rendered in their home, allowing users to shop for both virtual and physical products in the virtual world.
Adobe added that it is building on its expertise to enable portability of virtual identities and possessions, allowing users in the metaverse and other immersive experiences to design their unique online personas and possessions and use these customized assets inside of virtual worlds.
"The metaverse and other immersive experiences will only succeed if they are feature-rich, personalized, engaging and have interactive content," said Scott Belsky, Chief Product Officer and Executive Vice President of Adobe Creative Cloud. "To lead in the metaverse, brands should start creating 3D and immersive content now – it will not only prepare them for the future, but make their product design and creation of marketing and e-commerce assets better, faster and cheaper."
Adobe sees the metaverse as consisting of immersive experiences that will enable people to interact in virtual worlds. It will power the next wave of innovation, including a broad range of shared experiences addressing work, gaming, e-commerce, robotics, training for autonomous vehicles and climate change research.
Adobe has also released what it calls a "metaverse playbook" to empower agencies and brands to adapt to the demands of designing in 3D and immersive environments to streamline marketing production, product design and more.
In addition, Adobe unveiled collaborations with leading brands – including The Coca-Cola Company, Epic Games, NASCAR and NVIDIA – on an array of technology advances and experiences designed to equip companies with the tools needed to prepare for the metaverse.
"Whether you're a game developer, architect or automotive designer, today's consumers expect truly immersive interactive experiences," said Marc Petit, Vice President, Unreal Engine Ecosystem at Epic Games. "Together with Adobe, we're developing new tools that empower creators to build real-time 3D experiences that push the boundaries of photorealistic immersion."
"NVIDIA is working at the cutting-edge to build foundational technologies that allow enterprises, developers and artists to create and connect within virtual worlds. Working with Adobe to evangelize open, common 3D standards like Universal Scene Description will empower our design and engineering teams to bring 3D assets across virtual worlds," said Richard Kerris, Vice President of the Omniverse development platform at NVIDIA.

Ramadan for the Unsure

by Michael Muhammad Knight
July 10, 2013, 11:00am
When people ask me about "faith," I don't know what to say. I don't spend a lot of time on matters of faith. The more that I have attempted to engage Islamic theology, the less useful it appears. The big controversies that have divided Muslim theologians aren't too thrilling for me: the Qur'an being eternally coexistent with God or having been created at a moment in time doesn't change anything for Islam in my world. The question of what the Qur'an means when it says that God has hands or settles over a throne doesn't keep me from sleeping at night. When people claim ownership of the secret decoder rings that can tell us when God really means what he says and when he hides behind metaphors, it seems to me that they only penetrate the deep mysteries of themselves. During my time with the Five Percenters, I came to see theology as "Willy Wonka Math," meaning that it's the kind of math that puts you in a world of pure imagination.
Now it's Ramadan, the month during which Muslims fast from dawn to sunset for 30 days. At first glance, the big ideas behind Ramadan are pretty spooky. Among other things, Ramadan is a celebration of a supernatural event, the revelation of the Qur'an. It was reportedly during this month that the Qur'an's 23-year process of revelation began. In special taraweeh prayers, Sunni Muslims recite a portion of the Qur'an every night, completing the entire Qur'an by the month's end.
There are times when I can get into the mystery of god, yes. But I don't always place stock in the idea that my Qur'an provides me with information regarding an entity that the Qur'an itself tells me is beyond my comprehension. It's not that I'm an unbeliever, not exactly. I just don't care about the Willy Wonka Math enough to deal with questions that would render me a believer or unbeliever in the eyes of those who feel qualified to assess my faith. I still kiss the Qur'an and place it on my highest shelf, but my reasons don't hinge on the book's author having a throne above the heavens. For me, considering where I'm at with matters of faith these days, this year's Ramadan fast will have more to do with the Prophet than God.
It was during my experiments with South American hallucinogens that I found my image of Muhammad, broken by years of questions and challenges and disillusionments, healed and whole again. This isn't to say that I had an instant "born again" moment at which a light was switched and my life instantly and permanently changed. I'm still not a person of heavy ritual discipline. The only thing going for me is that I am willing to sit with the hadith collections in ways that I haven't been for most of the past 20 years that I've been Muslim. I have taken up interest in Muhammad not as an eternal "Muhammadan reality," as some mystics have treated him, but as a purely physical body, a man who lived on this planet. I've done this in such a way that I've lost all interest in abstract theology or systematized esotericism. I just want the man.
There are some Muslims today who would all but erase Muhammad from Islam, reducing him to the role of a mailman whose job was simply to show up at our door, deliver a package from the Lord of the Worlds, and then walk back out of our lives. These folks tend to assume that all of the troublesome aspects of our tradition stem from the hadith, Muhammad's recorded sayings and actions. If we can only jettison the hadith, they promise, then Islam will be free of whatever they consider to be its unattractive qualities: these usually include ritualism, legalism, religious intolerance, superstition, gender oppression, and exaltation of Muhammad beyond his status as a mortal human being. The Qur'an, in contrast, is seen as the home of clear gender egalitarianism, mercy, justice, tolerance, pluralism, spiritual insight, rationalism, and everything that enlightened moderns want their religion to be. The Qur'an-only people may be giving too much credit to the revealed text, while also neglecting the full complexity of the hadith tradition. Sometimes—as in 4:34, the Qur'an's so-called wife-beating verse—Muhammad's life helps me to deal with the Qur'an's more difficult spots. In many other hadith reports, Muhammad's tenderness, patience, humor, and even moments of anger lend a vulnerable human balance to the Qur'an, which we treat as the speech of God.
Honestly, there are statements in both the Qur'an and hadith about the nature of God and unseen-type things that just trip me out. I'm not worrying about them, and I'm not obsessing over what I believe or disbelieve. I have come to be less concerned with the way that my insides can change my outsides than the opposite: how do my actions transform my heart? That is why I will fast this year. I am walking on the path of one who was better than me. This Ramadan, I will look to Muhammad's custom, his sunnah, as a way of being in the world. This is not in opposition to my celebration of the Qur'an. As Muhammad's wife A'isha said, Muhammad's personality was the Qur'an itself.
In my moments of hunger, I will think about his hunger. In intimate family meals and large community celebrations, I will strive to remember his habits and manners. Hopefully, the Prophet's example will make me a greater help to those who have no choice but to go without food throughout the year. Sitting as Muhammad sat, or eating as he ate, may seem insignificant, but my intention is for them to serve as reminders of his overall treatment of people. I will also pray as he prayed, and whether or not the object of my prayer is at all compatible with his, I will have him in my heart as I move like he moved. I cannot claim to be on the right track in terms of aqidah, but I will try to be strong in my love for the Prophet, which is also an expression of my love for my Muslim family and communities. Creeds and faith may come and go, but I presently find love to be much more compelling.

Fascination in short supply as bitcoin enjoys powerful rally
Bitcoin's value has more than doubled since December and many fans are once again eyeing the $20,000 level as the next barrier to breach.

Three years ago, Bitcoin's historic surge dominated Thanksgiving dinner conversations. This year, the cryptocurrency is in the midst of another notable rally and yet almost no one's talking about it.
How fevered has Bitcoin's latest leg higher been? With the coin trading around $16,300, it's been more expensive in only eight other instances in the past decade, Bloomberg data show. Almost all of those came during the 1,375% surge in 2017 that saw it reach close to $20,000 before a spectacular plunge wiped out 70% over the next year.
The world's largest cryptocurrency by market value has been through a boom and bust and a second boom since its frenzied heydays in 2017. A lot has changed in the years since, and crypto enthusiasts argue digital coins have gone through a maturing process. But the mania that surrounded digital currencies back then is largely absent, despite Bitcoin being about 15% shy of its vaunted record highs.
"The fascination with it has worn off. You have the hardcore 'I'm a cryptocurrency investor' group but it hasn't really expanded because it's been so volatile, there have been so many questions around security and what regulations might do," said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist for Schwab Center for Financial Research. "The number of questions I get on it now is a fraction of what I got a couple of years ago when it was really hot."
By all accounts, Bitcoin has had a great year, despite a crash at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic that saw it lose 25% in March. It's more than doubled since December and many fans are once again eyeing the $20,000 level as the next barrier to breach.
Developments in recent months have helped fuel this year's rally. Fidelity Investments launched a Bitcoin fund, adding its star power and legacy brand to the space. Some prominent Wall Street names bought in. Public companies Square Inc. and MicroStrategy Inc. recently invested in the coin. And one of the most notable events for fans was PayPal Holding Inc.'s October decision to allow customers to access cryptocurrencies.
But market watchers say more pressing issues have grabbed this month's headlines.
"It's kind of in the shadows right now," said Bryce Doty, portfolio manager at Sit Fixed Income Advisors. "Bitcoin gets attention when it looks like the world is coming to an end, it's the anti-vaccine trade. As stocks and everything else have done better and people have forgotten about trade wars and things have been eclipsed by the pandemic, Bitcoin has taken a back seat to all of that."
Matt Maley at Miller Tabak + Co. says institutional investors might be paying more attention to the crypto space — he's fielded some calls about it in recent weeks. But individual investors — many of whom suffered through Bitcoin's 2018 crash — might have their sights set on other issues. This year has been a torturous and many are worried about the pandemic and the economic downturn, says the firm's chief market strategist.
"The individuals — a lot of those people got burned badly — they're less excited about it now," he said. "It's certainly not the huge hoopla we had back in 2017 — that could change if it breaks above the 2017 highs."
Guy Hirsch, managing director for U.S. at multi-asset brokerage eToro, is tracking a slightly non-traditional gauge of sentiment: the total number of Tweets that mention Bitcoin on a daily basis. At the height of the crypto boom, he was seeing around 120,000 Bitcoin-related tweets a day. That number now oscillates between 30,000 and 60,000, according to data from eToro and The Tie.
"This rally is clearly different in a number of ways," Hirsch said by phone. It is less speculative, he said, and even though recent developments have been advancing at "a snail's movement, it's in the right direction. Generally speaking, we're very bullish on what's happening."
Greg King, chief executive officer of Osprey Funds, a subsidiary of REX Shares that runs a Bitcoin trust, says the excitement's there "but I think it's a more grounded excitement." He added: "The longer that Bitcoin persists and the more on-ramps that get built and the more that interest increases, I think it's becoming more and more real in investor's minds — everyone has progressed three years further down the adoption curve."
King says he's not getting nearly as many inquiries from distant relatives about Bitcoin's performance as he did a few years back. But he urges perspective: its price went from $1,000 at the start of 2017 to more than $19,000 later that year.
"Here, we haven't even hit the previous high," he said. "Yes, it's back up to $16,000 but people at the dinner table will be talking about it when it hits $50,000 or $100,000 — then Thanksgiving will get very exciting and I'll start hearing from those relatives again," he said. "That's when I think it really makes people's radar."

In this address, he said, "I am also a member of this great family. Indeed, today the mind is full of joy, happiness and reverence. I am able to do whatever I am doing best by the grace of His Holiness Gurudevji. India, a very ancient and great nation, has a known history of 5,000 years. When the sun of civilization did not rise in the Western countries, we had the vedas created with us. When the people of the West covered their bodies with leaves and blisters of trees, we had schools like Takshashila, Nalanda. ' At the same time, he said, "We are citizens of an ancient and great nation who was a world guru who never imposed any ideology. No suit, no vote, no pant imposed. I am proud to say that this is the earth that said, "Ek sat vipra is probably vadanti" all one.
Scholars call it differently. Further, CM Shivraj also said, "We have been given wonderful sanskars since childhood. When we were children, Panditji used to come to the village to do katha and say, "Hail dharma, destroy iniquity, harmony among beings, welfare of the world" What a wonderful feeling in these lines. Salutations to this earth, salutations to the rishis here. Those who had already done it - Sarve Bhavantu Sukhin. Sarve Santu Niramaya: Sarve Bhadrani Pashantu. if so, the details thereof; and He further said, "Efforts are being made to do better in Madhya Pradesh in the field of education. We are opening new schools. Who will give the sanskars of knowledge, skills and citizenship. I am amazed at the way this University is teaching. The children enrolled in the institute are fortunate to be able to come here. '

Initiatives launched by corporates to support women at workplace
Marking Women's Day, several companies came out with exclusive policies and programs to support women at workplace.
Women workforce essentially forms 50% of the entire talent dwelling in the market; thus, making it critical for organizations to design policies and programs to attract, retain and cultivate them. Women play a huge role in enhancing workforce diversity which is one of the key differentiators for organizations– impacting profitability, innovation and culture.
"A McKinsey & Company report showed that companies with the highest share of women in their senior management teams actually outperformed those with no women by 41 percent. In fact, according to one Gallup study - inclusive cultures are reported to have 22% lower turnover rates due to increased morale, opportunity and equality. A change in mindset really delivers long term benefits," says Rishabh Kaul, Co-founder and Head of Demand Generation, Belong.
Leveraging the occasion like International woman's day, corporates in India have launched several initiatives to reinforce their commitment to their women employees. Here is a lowdown of various initiatives launched by companies:
PayPal: PayPal successfully introduced slew of initiatives to increase their diversity ratio in the technology space. They announced 'Recharge', which is a 'back to work initiative' for women. Program focuses on equipping women technologists with skills to pursue their careers after a personal break.
"Research has shown that only 34 percent of India's IT workforce is female and 41% of women in technology companies tend to leave mid-career, compared to 17% of men. At PayPal, we are not only committed to building a strong and diverse organization, but also believe in the need to create a more diverse technology ecosystem. With the success of the unique Recharge program in 2016, we look forward to once again helping women technologists rebuild their confidence, while also providing them with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the latest trends in the tech industry as well as best practices to follow when they renter the workforce," said Jayanthi Vaidyanathan, Director, Human Resources, PayPal.
PayPal has even revised maternity and adoption policies in the company. In addition to this, it is organizing a week-long celebration across their technology centers on International Women's Day.
Simplilearn: Supporting the cause of gender diversity at workplace, Simplilearn has launched a report highlighting the state of women coming 'back to work' after a personal/maternity break. This survey, of 4000 women in India, clearly shows that close to 64% of the women on break look for relevant training and courses to come back to work and Information Technology has emerged as the most popular and in-demand sector for women looking at restarting their careers. They have even partnered with Sheroes to identify and provide relevant courses to women to join the field and industry best suited to them.
"Over the last two years we have seen a trend of more women opting to up-skill themselves in areas like Digital Marketing, Analytics and Agile project management. We have learned from our alumni that their primary motivation is to get ahead in their careers or in some cases make a career switch to a role of their liking. Another common finding is that many women look at a certification course as a great way to get ready for re-starting their careers after a break for personal reasons," says Kashyap Dalal, Chief Business Officer Simplilearn.
Belong: The recruitment startup launched the first automated diversity hiring tool in India called as 'Belong for diversity'. It will help companies to make the diversity hiring faster and also eventually with time, it will help to eliminate the process of gender bias from recruitment. Belong is working with several tech and IT companies and reveals that there is an enormous focus on diversity hiring in Indian IT companies today.
Rishabh Kaul, Co-founder and Head of Demand Generation, Belong, says,"Traditional channels like job boards are not equipped to help recruiters with diversity efforts simply because there are fewer women candidates actively looking for new opportunities. In interactions with several companies, we have found hiring teams are actively trying to find more women applicants to balance gender ratios, and using outbound hiring tactics to target and engage passive talent has been the most successful method of discovering and hiring women candidates."
Mphasis: With a strong focus on educational content, the company is organizing sessions and activities that will create awareness on subjects like human rights, violence against women, child development and work-life integration. Mphasis is running a week- long celebration with partners like Amnesty International and Klay on board.
"To create a workplace that is more inclusive of women we at Mphasis recognize the fact that women do not follow a linear career progression. Unlike men, women's careers world over have more intermittent route which includes: taking time out, working reduced hours, part time or flex- time for multiple reasons. We have adopted a 3 pronged approach of attraction, retention and development of women at various stages in their career lifecycle. In addition to having women friendly policies and practices we have an Integrated Leadership Program (ILT) which provides opportunities for skill enhancement and competency development. We also offer an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for guidance with problem solving, decision making and combating emotional and psychological barriers to personal growth. In addition, we have created an Employee Resource Group called WE@Mphasis or Women Empowered at Mphasis," says Puneet Bhirani , Chief People and Administrative Officer, Mphasis.
Vodafone: Vodafone announced two major initiatives designed to increase opportunities for women in the workplace and enhance life prospects for women in emerging markets. The Vodafone ReConnect programme is designed to attract talented women who have left the workplace for several years (in most cases to raise a family) who would like to return to work on a full-time or flexible basis but are struggling to make the professional connections needed or refresh the skills required. Vodafone has also announced a range of new commercial initiatives designed to help women in low-income and remote communities in emerging markets - particularly in India and Africa - benefit from mobile. Access to mobile - even the most basic voice and SMS services using low-cost 2G mobile phones - has already had a transformative effect for hundreds of millions of people in emerging markets.
Amazon: To help women resume their corporate career Amazon launched 'rekindle'. Under this intiative, company will provide structured on-boarding, flexible work-options, focus mentoring and on job learning for women candidates. It will act as a launch pad, where Amazon will provide conducive environment to women address their concerns and close specific skills gaps.

By now you've likely heard that Roseanne Barr, formerly of the hit TV comedy Roseanne — a reboot of her successful early 1990s program — was fired by ABC following a racial tweet aimed at top Obama aide Valerie Jarrett.
There's no reason to reprint the tweet here — it's widely available online if you want to search for it. But suffice it to say it wasn't a very prim and proper thing that Barr wrote. She has since apologized for it and, according to some reports, she tried to save her job and her show, but to no avail.
That said, most of the Pravda media came to Jarrett's rescue, providing her with whatever forum she wanted to respond to Barr's racism and bigoted comments. And she did, in typical fashion: She blamed POTUS Trump for 'coarsening' our political dialogue.
Tut-tut, Mr. Trump. Take that.
While Barr's off-color joke was just that, off-color, it needs to be said that Jarrett was a formidable force in Obama's presidency. He ran everything by her, several insiders have said. She spent the entire eight years in the White House, outlasting every one of Obama's other senior advisers (some of whom "left" after they were known to have crossed her).
Democratic operatives noted that she had her own Secret Service detail — five-to-six agents at all times — which is unheard of for even senior aides.
Jarrett, an old Chicago friend of both Barack and Michelle Obama, appears to exercise such extraordinary influence she is sometimes quietly referred to as "Rasputin" on Capitol Hill, a reference to the mystical monk who held sway over Russia's Czar Nicholas as he increasingly lost touch with reality during World War I.
So, it would stand to reason, say others, that she would have been involved from the outset in the "Spygate" operation to either entrap members of President Trump's 2016 campaign, or undermine his administration after he took office.
How could Jarrett not have known?
"I use the plural 'occupants' because while Barack Hussein Obama may have been nominally the president of the United States, at the heart of every one of these scandals and virtually every administration move was Valerie Jarrett, who arguably could be considered our first female president," he noted further.
Two, if the president ran all decisions by Jarrett, as several insiders have said, then she, too, would have been in on the decision to spy on the Trump campaign.
In a May interview on The Ingraham Angle with Laura Ingraham, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich noted that early on in the scandal it was revealed that "very senior officials" in the Obama administration were briefed on what was happening. That would include Jarrett.
"Presently, someone will figure out to ask what did Valerie Jarrett know and when did she know it?" Gingrich said.
Jarrett may not have deserved the tweet from Roseanne Barr. But let's stop pretending that she's some innocent bystander.

Pretty much everything we sell is for the ultimate night out on the town, but in reality the next morning is just as important and making sure everyone is feeling as fresh as they possibly can will go a long way to making a hen weekend a success. These hangover recovery kit bags are a fantastic addition, fill them with whatever you think will work, certainly something to restore some energy and something to take the pain away too.
What should I put in a hangover recovery kit?
Of course it may also be the case that you start how you mean to go on and load these up with cans of gin and tonic and hope for the best, it's completely up to you.


Advocate for more community partnerships. Start building exhibitions and public programs that engage with contemporary issues. Take more inspiration from public libraries. Build a jobs pipeline. And accept that curators aren't always right.
These were just some of the fixes proposed to a slow-to-change museum system Tuesday night at the Yale Center for British Art (YCBA), where representatives of the Association of Art Museum Curators (AAMC) gathered for "In-Conversation: Role of Arts Organizations," a panel and audience discussion that was part of the association's regional "In Conversations" series. Around 30 attended.
The panel was moderated by New Britain Museum of Art Deputy Director Michelle Hargrave. Participants included Maria Falvo, president and chief executive officer of the American Savings Foundation; Cybele Maylone, executive director at The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum; Frank Mitchell, executive director of The Amistad Center for Art & Culture; Jennifer Reynolds-Kaye, YCBA curator of education and academic outreach, and Elizabeth Shapiro, interim director of culture and director of operations, preservation and museums at the Connecticut State Department of Economic & Community Development (DECD).
"We thought this was a particularly relevant topic right now, given the tremendous shift in recent years in how museums see themselves in the way they serve and engage their communities," Hargrave said at the beginning of the evening.
She painted two kinds of museums for the audience. On one side were traditional, old-school institutions, run by and intended for specialists, with a focus on "collecting, preserving, interpreting and presenting works of art and educating the public." These, she suggested, were (and sometimes continue to be) institutions that have historically doubled as a voice of authority in their communities, handing down knowledge to members of the public instead of opening a dialogue with them.
On the other side are museums that choose to be flexible under the pressures of changing demographics, new visitor expectations and needs, falling rates of membership, a decrease in funding, and brain drain that has hit Connecticut hard.
"Among the roles museums in today's society can play are repository of art, culture and history, educator, incubator of creativity, a democratic institution, collaborator, community center and leader, agent of change, social service institution, refuge, and connector," Hargrave said.
Despite a focus on equity and inclusion, panelists did not dig deep on the subject of equitable hiring practices, revising institutional language, board leadership, or how to break through the myth of museum neutrality.
They did, however, agree on something off the bat: that institutions have to do a better job of community engagement, whatever their size, audience numbers, or collecting practices may be. And that it may take several different forms over several different institutions.
The first to speak, Maylone noted a new practice at the Aldrich—using the museum as both an exhibition and studio space. In Helena Hernmarck's current exhibition Weaving in Progress, the artist works at the museum three days a week, peddling away at her loom as she sits surrounded by bright boxes of wool. Almost immediately, Maylone noticed a rise in visitor engagement.
Others stressed the importance of rock-solid community partnerships, particularly those that may initially seem new or nontraditional. Noting a palpable town-gown divide that permeates Yale's campus and the YCBA, Reynolds-Kaye suggested looking inward at one's own institution, breaking down hierarchies between senior, often white, museum staff and maintenance and operations staff and security guards. She urged fellow museum professionals in the room to get involved in their communities, from attending community management team meetings in their neighborhoods to going to speak at the Board of Education, as she had for Elm City Montessori earlier that night.
As a funder in the Office of the Arts, Shapiro said she likes to see proposals that feature unexpected collaborations, pairing museums with preschools, social service organizations, and even religious institutions. She praised efforts to bring new people to the museological table and decentralize knowledge, even if doing so turns the concept of expertise or connoisseurship on its head.
She gave two examples from her own work—the Prudence Crandall Museum in Canterbury and Old New-Gate Prison & Copper Mine in East Granby, both of which are operated by the state and rethinking their roles. Since reopening this year after nine years of renovation, the prison has been ground zero for new partnerships with Hartford- and Connecticut-based voices on prison reform and reentry. Meanwhile, Shapiro has been reshaping the narrative around Crandall—who integrated a school much to the town's protestations, and only after a woman of color pushed her to do so—to talk about inherent bias and a history of racism in the state.
Mitchell jumped in to speak about the work that the Amistad Center does with both traditional and nontraditional exhibition spaces in the Hartford area and around the state. In addition to curating shows within the Wadsworth Atheneum—a practice that brings all sorts of baggage with it—he said he has come to treasure unexpected spaces, like a series of YMCA facilities that hosted a show called Question Bridge: Black Males a few years ago.
If museums still need a collaborative model after those examples, he and others added, they already have one in public libraries ("they're a great gateway drug to museums," Shapiro said). As they've faced growing social need, libraries have remained nimble, transitioning from great repositories of knowledge into maker spaces, gathering spots, cafes, part-time social service organizations, job training centers and community-based art galleries.
While some older museum professionals are still looking up the word "intersectionality" in the dictionary, she suggested that these younger ones have a lot of it figured out. The anti-bias, anti-racism work that she sees in her kids' school? They're already trying to figure out how to apply it to collections, in a way that curators haven't really touched since the YCBA was completed in 1974.
Shapiro gave another suggestion: don't assume there's a tension between young, millennial viewers and traditional older ones. Noting the state's READI (Relevance, Equity, Access , Diversity, and Inclusion) initiative, she noted that audiences may think they know what they want to see or hear, but they don't always actually know what they want. Chances are, they'll take a chance on something that is put in front of them.
And so will young people—but museums need to start them early. Very early.

Q: How can I make a script, that would paste code after each line? I'm creating a web, where I want one part of it to look something like this: Some text, followed by an audio tag with path to the audio file and then an underline(not an underline to text, but line that would separate the content) below that. This then repeats many times.
What I would like to do is to just write the line of text and then maybe write a tag or just leave the line of text. The script would just go thruough all the lines and paste there the audio tag with the filename (which would be just name_of_file*, where * would get by one bigger on each line) and the underline.
What I'm doing now is just pasting the audio tag and an hr tag after each line of text, then going through and manually writing the numbers of the files. And that is just stupid and tidious.
I'm familiar with HTML, CSS, and PHP. But I guess there is probably easier solution to this than to use PHP.
I hope you can understand what I mean and thanks for every answer!

A: Try something like this.
The audio files and description text is saved to an array.
PHP does a for() loop through the array and outputs the text, the link and a
 which is a horizontal ruler (or a underline as you said).
Quick example:
$audiofiles = array(
    'Some text for the audio file 1' => 'path/to/file.mp4',
    'Some text for the audio file 2' => 'path/to/filetwo.mp3'
    );

$n = count($audiofiles);

for($i=0; $i<$n; $i++)
{
    echo $audiofiles[$i][0];
    echo 'CLICK FOR LINK';
    echo '
';
}

A: You could get a text editor to do this, but if you already know PHP, I think it's much simpler to use that.
$array=array(
    'line of text',
    'another line of text',
     array('text'=>'This one is special cause it has a tag', 'tag'=>'myTag'),
    'yet another line o text',
    .....
);

foreach($array as $index=>$val){
    if($index>0){
         echo '
';
    }

    if(is_array($val)){
        echo $val['text'];
        echo 'tag: '.$val['tag'];
    }else{
        echo $val;
    }

    echo '<audio src="whatever_'.$index.'.oog">..put some <source> here...</audio>';
}

'Cryptobottom' is Here but at What Cost?
The year of 2018 will definitely be remembered by many not only for the market fall, but also for the decision of some crypto entrepreneurs, who in every intended to nurture the bright future of the crypto industry, but failed to stand against another wave of crisis.
One of these days, one of the Ethereum (ETH) Сo-Founders, Joseph Lubin, tweeted that the industry has reached its "cryptobottom." And everything would be fine, but Lubin highlighted that society had reached the bottom because of "an epic amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt from our friends in the 4th and crypto-5th estates."
I am calling the cryptobottom of 2018. This bottom is marked by an epic amount of fear, uncertainty, and doubt from our friends in the 4th and crypto-5th estates.
— Joseph Lubin (@ethereumJoseph) December 21, 2018
No matter how ironic it may sound but Lubin played a key role in this crisis. Why? Let's find out.
In early December, according to a source familiar with the matter, the head of the blockchain startup ConsenSys, Joseph Lubin, sent a letter to the staff informing about massive changes in the organization's work.
How massive? Pretty massive. Almost 60% of the staff.
The situation looks even more ironic if we recall Lubin's interview with Bloomberg in August 2018. Back then, the head of ConsenSys stated the crypto community had already seen "six big bubbles, each more epic than the previous one."
In the same interview, Lubin made it very clear that the situation would eventually improve, since "each of these bubbles has the advantage of bringing attention into our ecosystem."
The whole situation with layoffs looks even more paradoxical, given the fact that in October, ConsenSys bought asteroid mining company.
If we add to all of this, that in the same month, ConsenSys invested approximately $6.5 million in the startup of the former top manager of R3 Tim Grant, DrumG, it isn't clear what is the main strategy of ConsenSys.
Being in the heart of a storm and invest a pretty big amount of money in something? This is what it feels like to be an entrepreneur in crypto industry.
And Lubin isn't the last person in crypto space who decided to close up the shop during the storm. For instance, the founder and CEO of the social blockchain platform Steemit, Ned Scott, made the announcement, according to which the company had to lay off approximately 70% of its employees.
It's worth noting that Vitalik Buterin has already noted on twitter that the decision to hire 500 people, dismissing them later was a really bad decision.
Oh I agree it was a bad decision to hire 500 people they couldn't keep.
That said, if that's your angle, then the overlooked news here is that they're getting *more* competent.
— Vitalik Non-giver of Ether (@VitalikButerin) December 22, 2018
As a backdrop to all this, the founder and CEO of the TRON cryptocurrency platform, Justin San, is willing to save the DApps developers Ethereum and EOS from the collapse of their platforms.
#TRON will build a fund to rescue #ETH and #EOS developers from the collapse of their platform as long as those developers migrate their dapps to #TRON. #TRX $TRX
— Justin Sun (@justinsuntron) December 7, 2018
Given the conditions of migration, many immediately began to poke fun at the founder of the TRON.
So... we jump from sinking ships to another sinking ship? Shit, I'm in. When jump, sir?
— 🎄AltOne Crypto ❄🎅🏼 (@AltOne_Crypto) December 7, 2018

— WolfOfEthereum (@LUKACACIC) December 7, 2018
The whole situation with layoffs once again proves that though the crypto industry is no longer young, it consists, as a rule, of optimist-investors.

It's just a matter of how many points they win it by – Hodgson congratulates Liverpool
Roy Hodgson congratulated former club Liverpool and said it was just a matter of by how much they would win the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp's men were impressive in a 4-0 victory over Hodgson's Crystal Palace at Anfield on Wednesday.
Liverpool will be crowned league champions for the first time since 1990 if Manchester City fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Thursday.
Hodgson, who managed Liverpool in 2010-11, praised Klopp's side and congratulated them on their season.
"They've been excellent. That moment [they are crowned champions] will arrive soon, quite simply because they are not going to lose any matches – they won't stop winning," he said, via the club's website.
"Their determination and desire in a game when you could have argued they could have taken it a little bit easy because they weren't put under real pressure from us, we didn't see that.
"Even in the last four or five minutes – they are desperately chasing every ball down, winning it back and trying to score again.
"With that type of attitude and desire there is no doubt [the] title is theirs, the big question is by how many points it is going to be, and I can only congratulate them on a wonderful season – two seasons really."

'Aggressive' toe-biting insects found in Santa Monica Mountains
ByABC7.com staff
Abedus herbertis are "aggressive" toe-biting insects that can be found in streams in the Santa Monica Mountains, according to park service officials.
SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS (KABC) -- Beware: "Aggressive" toe-biting insects can be found in streams in the Santa Monica Mountains, according to park service officials.
The Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area shared on its Facebook page two photos of a male Abedus herberti with eggs on its back.
It's typical for the eggs to lay on the male's wings and be carried until they hatch -- all while being kept moist, clean and safe from predators.
Belostomatidae is a family of freshwater hemipteran insects that can grow up to be four inches long.
The giant water bugs, also known as toe-biters, have been spotted at Santa Monica Mountain streams and are capable of biting human toes. According to park ranger Ana Beatriz, the bites are "very painful!"
"They're aggressive predators who feed on turtles, fish and snakes. And if you visit Asia, these giant water bugs are considered a delicacy," Beatriz wrote.
As for other interesting facts about the bizarre-looking bugs: The insects are known to play dead, and most can emit a smelly fluid from their anus when startled.
