Judge Halts Enforcement of COPA Internet Censorship Law
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 10, 1998 -- Civil liberties groups and Internet
users everywhere can breathe a sigh of relief - for now - as a federal
judge has halted enforcement of the "Child Online Protect Act" (COPA,
or colloquially "CDA-II"), a new federal Internet censorship law,
until its constitutionality is ultimately resolved in court.
In a Nov. 20 ruling in ACLU v. Reno II, Federal District Judge Lowell
A. Reed, Jr. said that the groups have shown "a likelihood of success
on the merits of at least some of their claims" that the federal
Internet censorship law violates the First Amendment rights of adults.
The government, Judge Reed said, presented "no binding authority or
persuasive reason" why the court should not enjoin "total enforcement"
of the law pending an outcome. The initial temporary restraining order
(TRO) issued by the court has been extended to Feb. 1, 1999, with the
next hearing in the case slated for Jan. 20-21, in which the free
speech organizations will argue to turn the TRO into a more lasting
preliminary injunction pending conclusion of the trial.
Significantly, the judge emphasized that the temporary restraining
order, or TRO, applies to all Internet users -- not just the
plaintiffs in the case -- and that, even if the law is ultimately
upheld, the Administration cannot prosecute online speakers
retroactively.
Indeed, the judge wrote, to enjoin the law now but leave Internet
users open to potential prosecution later "would be hollow relief
indeed for plaintiffs and members of the public similarly situated."
The American Civil Liberties Union, Electronic Frontier Foundation
(EFF) and Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) -- co-counsel
in the case -- welcomed the order.
"Our clients, David Talbot, CEO of Salon Magazine and Norman Laurila,
President of A Different Light Bookstores, provided compelling
testimony today that if this law were not enjoined, they might be
forced to shut down their websites altogether," said Ann Beeson, ACLU
National Staff Attorney and a member of the legal team that appeared
in court today. "That may not have been the intent of the law, but it
certainly is the outcome."
Under the current schedule, the groups will return to court next on
December 8 and 9 for a preliminary injunction hearing on the matter.
The TRO, which expires in ten days (on Friday, December 4), will
likely be extended for another 10 days in order to maintain the
current status quo.
"We are very pleased with the court's initial ruling, " said Marc
Rotenberg, Executive Director of the Electronic Privacy Information
Center. "Like the original CDA, this censorship law raises troubling
implications for both free speech and privacy in the online world."
Barry Steinhardt, President of the Electronic Frontier Foundation,
agreed. "This is an important first step," he said. "At least for now,
speech on the Internet retains the strong constitutional protection
that the Supreme Court said it deserved in the original Reno v. ACLU
case."

EFF Statement on Loudoun Ruling
Another Victory for Free Speech on the Internet
For the second time in one week, a U.S. court has handed down a ruling
upholding the strongest Constitutional protections of free expression
on the Internet. A U.S. District Court ruled today, in Mainstream
Loudoun, et. al. v. Board of Trustees of the Loudoun County Library,
that the Loudoun County, Virginia, policy requiring filtering software
in public libaries violated the First Amendment by preventing adults
from using library computers to access a wide array of mainstream,
constitutionally-protected materials.
The decision follows closely on the heels of the first victory in the
new legal challenge being mounted by the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, the American Civil Liberties Union and the Electronic
Privacy Information Center, against the recently passed Child Online
Protection Act (COPA, a.k.a. "CDA-II").  Decision text:
http://www.eff.org/pub/Legal/Cases/Loudoun/HTML/19981123_opinion_order.html
Filtering measures rob local libraries, schools, and ultimately
parents of the authority to decide for themselves what are appropriate
uses of the Internet and force them to install crude blocking
software. All too often, material about topics ranging from the
prevention of sexually-transmitted diseases, to women's rights, to
current news stories about political sex scandals is likely to be
blocked. Even religious groups such as the Society of Friends (Quaker
religion) and mainstream organizations like the American Association
of University Women have been blocked. Earlier this year we learned
that even conservative groups like the American Family Association
have been blacklisted by these imperfect tools, which are already
being installed in libraries and schools today.
As EFF has said on numerous occasions that you can no more create a
computer program to block out content that fits one community's view
of "indecent", "obscene" or "harmful to minors", than you can devise a
filtering program to block out misguided proposals by members of
Congress. Both goals may be desirable, but neither are possible.

50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights -- and two human
rights alerts
EFF Urges You to Exercise Your Human Rights Today!
Thursday, December 10, 1998 marks the 50th Anniversary of the UN
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. EFF urges you to participate in
2 on-line campaigns for the betterment of human rights everywhere.
First, you can globally protest recent anti-cryptography changes to
the international Wassenaar agreement on export controls, by
participating in the FreeCrypto.org campaign. Second, send an e-mail
to Chinese officials and urge them to free two jailed Chinese
scientists facing prosecution for using the Internet to promote
democracy. For more information see http://www.eff.org (under "What's
Hot")
50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Human Rights a Reminder that Privacy
must be preserved.
Web site launched to allow citizens of the world to protest their loss of
December 9, 1998 (Montreal)--On the 50th anniversary of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), as well as in protest of the
recent changes to cryptography policies worldwide, Zero-Knowledge
Systems is spearheading a campaign to encourage governments to loosen
newly imposed cryptography restrictions. This campaign, seen on the
web site http://www.freecrypto.org, enables citizens of the world to
express their outrage and concern at the increasing loss of their
Article 12 of the UDHR states,
"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his
privacy, family home, or correspondence..."
Yet, decades later, we are witnessing the unprecedented collection of
personal information and intrusions into the lives of many. Internet
users in particular, confront multiple privacy violations while
online. Over 80% of Internet users polled consider privacy be their
primary concern.
The best defense for online privacy is to use strong cryptography,
which allows Internet users to preserve the privacy of their
communications and personal information.
On December 3, 1998, the Internet community experienced one of the
strongest setbacks to their privacy in recent years. The 33 member
countries of the Wassenaar Arrangement agreed for the first time to
impose export restrictions on mass-market cryptography products.
Until December 3rd, the majority of the Wassenaar signatories did not
impose export controls over mass-market products that protect personal
security and privacy through cryptography. The United States
Department of Commerce Under-Secretary has taken credit for convincing
all other Wassenaar countries to impose these added restrictions over
cryptography designed for average citizens.
Barry Steinhardt, President of the Electronic Frontier Foundation
believes "The US government has strong-armed the rest of the
industrialized world into adopting a policy that will make us less
secure and more vulnerable to electronic terrorism. Our critical
national and international infrastructures need to be protected by
strong encryption. Weak encryption with back doors that will be
exploited not just by governments, but by information pirates, will
leave us at greater risk."
"It is not too late to reverse course," continues Steinhardt.
"Wassenaar allows, but does not require, the other national
governments to follow the US' foolish lead."
"Cryptography is the key to preserving privacy for Internet users,"
explains Austin Hill, President of Zero-Knowledge Systems. "By
limiting the accessibility of cryptography, you are limiting people's
ability to protect themselves. Now, more than ever, we have the
ability to influence the future of the electronic world; we must
ensure that it has the same the basic rights and protections that the
UDHR promised us fifty years ago."
Hill continues, "We hope that Internet users will be proactive in
protesting this human rights infringement to their governments. The
freecrypto.org web site provides such a space, where users can learn
about the issues and send their government representatives a message
expressing their dissatisfaction with the tightening of cryptography
controls."
The http://www.freecrypto.org web site provides a form that citizens
can fill out and have faxed or emailed to their respective government
representatives. It also provides information and articles on the
recently imposed cryptography restrictions.
Zero-Knowledge Systems Inc. ( http://www.zks.net ) is a Canadian based
software developer dedicated to providing cryptographic solutions for
the privacy and security of Internet users. They will be launching
their first product called Freedom(TM) in February 1999.
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF SCIENCE HUMAN RIGHTS ACTION
NETWORK (AAASHRAN)
China--Engineer & Physicist Imprisoned
CASE NUMBERS:
You -- Wang Youcai
ME9810.Hai -- Lin Hai
(Previous alert issued on 19 August 1998).
ISSUES: the right to life, liberty, and security of person; freedom
from arbitrary arrest and detention; freedom of opinion and
expression; freedom of peaceful assembly and association; the right to
communicate freely over the Internet and other telecommunications
FACTS OF THE CASE: On a day when most countries are celebrating the
50th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
software engineer Lin Hai and physicist and dissident Wang Youcai sit
in jail for using the Internet to support democracy in China.
The Science and Human Rights Program of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science, in collaboration with the Association for
Computing Machinery, the Center for Democracy and Technology, the
Committee of Concerned Scientists, the Committee on the International
Freedom of Scientists of the American Physical Society, Cyber-Rights &
Cyber-Liberties (UK), Derechos Human Rights, the Digital Freedom
Network, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Electronic Privacy
Information Center, Human Rights in China, the New York Academy of
Sciences' Committee on Human Rights, and VIP Reference, has initiated
an e-mail appeal campaign on behalf of Lin Hai and Wang Youcai. We
encourage other groups to share this alert with their constituencies.
Lin Hai was arrested on 25 March 1998 for providing 30,000 Chinese
e-mail addresses to VIP Reference, which publishes a pro-democracy
newsletter described by Chinese prosecutors as a "hostile foreign
publication." US-based VIP Reference distributes reports on dissident
activities, human rights, and other issues to more than 200,000 e-mail
addresses in China. Lin Hai has been charged with "inciting to
overthrow state power." His trial was conducted in secret in Shanghai
on 4 December 1998; the verdict is expected to be announced soon.
Lin's arrest has been described as evidence that the Chinese
government is determined to prevent freedom of information on the
Internet from posing a challenge to its leadership.
Wang Youcai, a leader of the 1989 pro-democracy demonstrations, is
scheduled to go to trial on 17 December in the Hangzhou Intermediate
Court on the charge of "inciting to overthrow state power." Among his
crimes is sending e-mail messages to dissidents in the US. Wang was
arrested in July for trying to organize an opposition party. He was
then released and put under house arrest. He was detained again on 2
November and formally charged on 30 November.
More than one million Chinese citizens reportedly have access to the
Internet. The government encourages this access to promote national
development while, at the same time, fighting to control its use for
political purposes.
The arrests of Lin Hai and Wang Youcai constitute serious violations
of international human rights standards enumerated in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights, which was adopted without opposition by
the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948. They include:
* Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person
(Article 3);
* no one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile
* everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this
right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and
to seek, receive, and impart information and ideas through any
media regardless of frontiers (Article 19); and
* everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and
association (Article 20).
(Sources of information for this update include Chinese VIP Reference,
the Digital Freedom Network, Human Rights in China, and the New York
Times. Previous sources of information include the Associated Press
and Human Rights in China.)
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send e-mail or fax messages:
* calling for the immediate and unconditional release of Lin Hai and
Wang Youcai on the grounds that they were arrested solely for
exercising their internationally recognized rights to freedom of
expression and association; and
* urging Chinese officials to cease their interference with
electronic communications.

"For the first time in Imperium's history, a person who is not beholden to the Force has taken the office of Imperator. With this, comes a new age; an age of reform and revolution!
For too long we've been held under the Force choke of the Emperor, Grand Vizier, and the Grand Admiral! We've been relegated to a position of the underling, the peon, the slave, and the hired hand. We've held little influence, and because of this, we've been given the back seat and embraced it.
But rumblings are incoming. We must forge a new path and a new identity for Imperium! We will no longer be subjugated! We will strike the forge of our own destiny!
A siren went off. It was the siren of a bombing raid.
As most of you know, my name is Dek Ironius II. I am the newly appointed Quaestor/Imperator of House Imperium.
What I hope to do is currently dig some of the foundational elements of what I hope we can accomplish. But first, a slight introduction.
Dek Ironius II was born to Dek Ironius I on Judecca, the former homeworld of CSP. The son of a wealthy merchant, he grew up under the tutelage of strong warlords, his father, and his intelligent mother (an arranged marriage, but an eventual loving one).
Dek grew up as a noble in one of the noble houses of Judecca. However, at the turn of Xen's reign, when mass imperialization came to be, he as well as many other former nobles who had rid themselves of the corrupt system, fell in line behind the new Emperor. Dek soon after became aware of the then-shadowy organization known as Clan Scholae Palatinae.
After being inducted into their ranks, he maneuvered himself up the political ladder, eventually becoming a member of the Imperial Senate. When the Cocytus System was destroyed, so was the Imperial Senate. This made him a rogue politician of sorts. In the new system...things get vague.
And really, so does Imperium's history. Post-Cocytus and Post-Lexiconus, the truck that is Imperium turns to a stop sign and simply doesn't move onward.
And although Raiju and myself developed some things behind the scenes, as well as a few things with the members, we simply did not deliver. I am sorry for that. I wish I had taken more time to focus on the story, and less preparing for the GJW. Our build up to it was relaxing when we should have been getting those stories out and those member-drive directions out.
This leads to the topic of fictional development within the House. I don't mean to say we need to develop our fiction abilities, but rather the House needs a concrete story to call its own.
Currently, Raiju and myself are preparing the finishes on a chaptered story development involving the post-Lexiconus Quaestor shift. I guarantee that it will be out in the following month, asap. What are some things you can look forward to in the next month fiction-wise?
A temporary new enemy that will soak our interest for the time being.
Finally being caught up fictionally.
A starting point for our House "rebranding".
Rebranding? What is this rebranding?
As we catch up on our story, the fiction mentioned above is going to occur. It will be a starting point for a major project our entire House will be undertaking, and I will need all hands on deck for.
That's not to say we aren't Imperials. But Excidium has a distinct place as a House. They have their own stories and personality. Imperium's story is the pillar that is the Clan's story. We share our ships and roles with the Clan's ships and roles. We share our identity with the Clan's identity, and thus it robs us of our individuality as a House.
Make no mistake; on Cocytus this worked for us. On Caperion it does not.
Therefore, we need to revolutionize our identity. The name will remain the same, but that it all that will remain. A revolution is coming. It will be backed up fictionally, but for us in reality we will be deciding our new destiny and identity.
Also, this "conflict" with the Clan is not going to be the definition of our House. Fictionally we've been attached for so long to the Clan identity that there isn't much of another way to split that doesn't deal with some form of conflict. But we will eventually come in line and be loyal to the Empress. In the past Houses have tried to act in open rebellion, and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'd rather not test the waters for too long on it. Even if we are defining ourselves differently, we are still a part of the Imperial Clan.
Expansion Part 2 is out! Go do the competitions!
What is E.C.S.? It's a past series I did on character development and how it fits into our House. As we evolve, I'll be making the series more fleshed out. Expect it to come in the future.
This is for the month of April. Of course, we'll be promoting activity within Expansion and whatever April activities the Clan Summit will provide. I look forward to being your Quaestor over the next many months!
Also, don't read too much into the report graphics. I sent out a request a few minutes ago. Just thought they'd go well with the theme of rebranding.
Raises an Eyebrow I'm looking forward to this new twist! Also, loved your intro which was focused on your character vs you yourself. We are a fiction club, and as much as I appreciate folks revealing RL stuff, I don't feel it has its place on here, so good job in taking the fiction road.
I'm digging the report, boss.

Dez Bryant Skipped MRI and Team Meetings, Cowboys Say
Stephen Young
Stephen Young | September 30, 2016 | 9:06am
Now we know why Dez Bryant's knee diagnosis took so long. The Cowboys wide receiver, injured on the second play of the game against the Bears on Sunday night, skipped out and missed a team meeting, an MRI and other medical treatment early this week.
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett offered a circular explanation for Bryant's absences at a press conference Thursday afternoon.
"After the game on Sunday night he got some information about his knee and he suspected that it was a serious injury," Garrett said. "He's a very passionate guy, like we've talked about, and he really thought he was going to get some bad news when he got the MRI Monday morning. So like some of us do in life, at times, he avoided it. He didn't come in and take care of his business on Monday or Tuesday and then he came in on Wednesday and took care of that part of it."
"We have different ways to talk to Dez in a situation like this," - Cowboys coach Jason Garrett
Dez Bryant Knee Injury Worse Than Initially Thought, Better Than Feared
Bryant was fined for the missed meetings. As for the diagnosis, Garrett said that Bryant and the team were pleased.
"He suspected it was worse than the information we got. We all were pleased with what the results of the MRI were once we got them," Garrett said. "It all stemmed from I think, his desire not to confront the situation that he thought he had."
While Bryant was out, Garrett said, the team had no direct contact with him, which is, apparently, standard operating procedure in these situations.
"We have different ways to talk to Dez in a situation like this," he said. "I don't want to get into all the details."
Bryant refused to talk to the media, but said on Twitter that he and Garrett had reached an understanding.
I made a poor decision based on how I felt about my knee coach JG addressed it to me and I understood the consequences....
— Dez Bryant (@DezBryant) September 29, 2016
Veteran Cowboys tight end Jason Witten used one of Cowboys' owner Jerry Jones' favorite metaphors to say that Bryant's skipping out on the team was no big deal.
"There's a great saying inside this building by somebody I tremendously respect — let's not circumcise a mosquito here, you know? I think that has great value in this. As things go on, move forward and we all understand that," Witten said. "This game means so much to Dez Bryant and that's a relationship that I've really enjoyed over the years in seeing that and the brotherhood that you have with that. Dez will be back out there in no time."
Bryant's prognosis remains the same as Thursday. He might play Sunday against the 49ers, or he could miss as many as three weeks. His injury, now diagnosed as a cracked right tibia, is not considered serious.

Recount could be on the way for City Commission Seat 3
By Mariel Carbone |
Posted: Wed 5:17 PM, Nov 07, 2018 |
Updated: Thu 3:21 AM, Nov 08, 2018
By: Mariel Carbone | WCTV Eyewitness News
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) — The race for City Commission Seat 3 could go to a recount.
Jeremy Matlow took 50.22 percent of votes in Tuesday's election. With his opponent, Lisa Brown, trailing by .44 percent. Brown received 49.78 percent of votes. Under state law, if the margin is equal to or less than .5 percent, a recount is required.
"Lisa Brown, Jeremy Matlow, that is a very tight race. There's likely going to be a recount there, but again we won't know for sure until we process those provisional ballots, and un-scanned, and add those to the totals to see exactly where the ending margin lies," said Mark Earley, Leon County Supervisor of Elections.
Provisional ballots are still being processed. As for un-scanned ballots, those are ballots that were cast but had an error being read. In that case, the voter chose not to refill out their ballot and submit it. The canvassing board will review those ballots on Friday. Once that is complete, depending on the margin, the race could see are recount.
Matlow said he looks forward to seeing the official tally.
"Leon County is a leader in making sure elections are fair and accurate. We have faith in the Supervisor of Elections and do not expect the results to change," he said.
Brown said the recount is simply part of the process.
"An automatic recount is a normal part of the process and we just need to be patient and allow the process to work and see what the outcome is," she said.
According to the unofficial results, she trailed by just 334 votes.

NORFOLK, Va. – The neuroscience unit at CHKD has been accredited as an esteemed Level 3 epilepsy center by the National Association of Epilepsy Centers, making it one of four pediatric facilities in the state to be certified.
The NAEC accredits Level 3 centers for providing a comprehensive team approach to the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy, including medical, neurological, and psychological aspects. These centers bring together neurologists, neurosurgeons, nurse specialists, EEG technologists, pharmacists, social workers, and others to provide an integrated system of care.
The organization defines four levels of centers, and grants certifications to the two highest, Levels 3 and 4. In Virginia, eight hospitals are certified, with CHKD the only free-standing children's hospital to achieve that designation.
At CHKD, four video EEG rooms with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment enable neurologists and epileptologists – neurologists who specialize in epilepsy – to confirm the presence of seizures and to monitor them over time.
The most common treatment is medication, based on the type of seizure, age of the child, side effects, cost, and east of use. The center also offers surgical options. There's also a treatment called "vagus nerve stimulator," in which a pacemaker-like device is implanted to stimulate the vagus nerve, which runs from the brain to the torso. The device sends small pulses of energy to the brain to stop seizures. It works without patients even being aware of it most of the time, but if they sense a seizure coming on, they can swipe a magnet over the left chest area to send an extra burst of stimulation.
The unit also has a dietitian who oversees a ketogenic diet program, which is a special type of diet that reduces seizures in some children for whom medication doesn't work.
In the two years since the neuroscience unit opened, close to 900 patients with seizures have been treated. For more information on epilepsy and treatments at CHKD, visit this website: CHKD Epilepsy Program.
A 6-year-old patient is evaluated at CHKD's neuroscience unit, which was just accredited as a Level 3 epilepsy center by the American Association of Epilepsy Centers. The designation means the unit provides comprehensive, integrated services for the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy.
CHKD is the only freestanding children's hospital in Virginia and serves the medical and surgical needs of children throughout greater Hampton Roads, the Eastern Shore of Virginia, and northeastern North Carolina. The not-for-profit CHKD Health System operates primary care pediatric practices, surgical practices, multi-service health centers, urgent care centers, and satellite offices throughout its service region.
NORFOLK, Va. – Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters has received a $10,000 grant from Huggies "No Baby Unhugged" program to support its volunteer cuddler program.
The grant was one of eight given to hospitals throughout the country this year to start or support ongoing programs that increase human touch of newborns in neonatal intensive care units. At CHKD, the grant will be used to buy recliner chairs and footstools and to pay for expenses such as volunteer immunizations, uniforms, and background checks.
CHKD opened its NICU in 1972. Today, it's the most advanced in the region, admitting about 550 babies a year. The volunteer cuddler program began in 2003 with nine cuddlers, a number that's since grown to 39. Last year, they logged 1,600 hours of hugs. Cuddlers must first have 60 hours of volunteering in other parts of the hospital before taking on this important position. For more information about volunteering at CHKD, visit www.chkd.org/volunteer.
Dale Pearson, CHKD's longest running volunteer cuddler, has been comforting NICU babies for the past 15 years. She's a polio survivor who spent time in the hospital as a child growing up in Maine, and remembers seeing others in "iron lung machines" in wards far different from the cheerful units at CHKD. The Portsmouth resident comes to CHKD every week to bring comfort and cheer to hospitalized children.

350TH ANNIVERSARY OF FATHER MÉDAILLE'S DEATH
DECEMBER 30, 2019: THE 350TH ANNIVERSARY OF FATHER MÉDAILLE'S DEATH 1
The life and death of each of us has its influence on others;
if we live, we live for the Lord; and if we die, we die for the Lord,
so that alive or dead we belong to the Lord (Romans 14:7-8).
This scripture verse came to mind as I sat down to write this reflection for the 350th anniversary of the death of Jean-Pierre Médaille. Possibly no other person has had the same grounding influence in our lives as Sisters of St. Joseph than this French Jesuit priest, Jean-Pierre Médaille. His life, his writings, his experiences and even his death have left a lasting legacy that many of us still find spiritually enriching.
Is that what it means to be a founder…. when years later… people still hold fast to the spiritual teachings one imparted in one's lifetime?
Truly the life of Jean-Pierre Médaille is the story of one man's daily fidelity to the inspirations of grace and his deep personal commitment to model his entire life and death on that of the Incarnate Son of God. From his birth in Carcassonne on October 6, 1610 to his death in Billom on December 30, 1669 this humble man of God held fast the desire "to be and to become the person God wanted him to be, in nature, in grace, and in glory for time and for eternity" (M.P. 10:6).
Father Médaille spent most of his adult life teaching, preaching Missions, and directing men and women in the parishes throughout the dioceses of south-western France. He strove to awaken the contemplative dimension that was dormant in many lives. He believed that God's indwelling grace had the power to effect miracles in them and by the energy and force of that Divine Love whole environments and neighbourhoods could be transformed. The world of seventeenth century France was desperately in need
of such a rebirth. The wisdom, zeal and insight Jean-Pierre Médaille brought to his world reality was trulyremarkable. His apostolic zeal for souls sprang from a great love in his heart - from the heart of God - with whom he shared an intimate communion. He was a mystically-active man, loving Love and letting Love love through him. With his "sublime knowledge of the interior life", we are blessed to have in his writings of the Maxims of Perfection, Part 1 and Part 2 and The Eucharistic Letter, a spirituality that has proved timeless in guiding persons to self-emptying union with God. At the same time, he was equally capable of effective
administration of the temporal affairs he was asked to manage. He was known for his skill in handling difficult situations when he served as the minister at their Jesuit Colleges. With skill and personality, he
could restore order, reconcile differences and handle efficiently those practical, temporal affairs. JeanPierre showed aptitude for all the works of the Society of Jesus. He placed all his gifts of vision, discretion
and compassion in the service of humanity. During a most dark and difficult period of history, JeanPierre lit up his world of seventeenth century France with a new hope and a new direction.
Médaille dreamed his dream, lived his dream, shared his dream, and wrote down his dream - for all time to be discovered. In the fall of 1669, his spiritual journey on earth was climaxing to its apex in his personal
death. Three short months of enfeebling health at the Jesuit retirement home in Billom precedes his death on December 30, 1669. For the three months he was at this house of retreat he was assigned to be a
confessor. This "traveler on the road of God's glory" came home to rest after fifteen years of active missionary service to his own people in southwestern France. We have some insight into his expansive
soul when he shares his Contemplation on the Passion and Crucifixion of Jesus: Above all, good Jesus, grant that throughout my life, and especially at the time of my death,
I may fulfill in every instance the last will of your Father, and with such exactitude that with my last breath I may be able to say: "Consummatum est." It is finished. I have fulfilled the
1 Jean-Pierre Médaille, S.J. A detail from the larger painting found in the Archives of the Sisters of St. Joseph, Le Puy. France. designs of divine Providence concerning my life and my death. I have spent myself in the
service of my Creator and in the gratitude I owe to the boundless love of my Saviour Jesus. This is the only desire of my soul. 2The final archival statement in his necrology reads:
Father Jean-Pierre Médaille of Carcassonne, professed of four vows, died at Billom,December 30, 1669, at the age of fifty-nine. He had been in the Society for forty-three years.
The greater part of his life was spent in the missions of the Province (Toulouse) and withsuch zeal and so great a reputation for holiness that here and there he was called "the saint",
"the apostle"; nor were the fruits of his apostolic labors of every kind less than his reputation,so much so that he was highly esteemed by rich and poor alike, but especially by the bishops
in whose dioceses he labored.3The people called him "the saint" and "the apostle". At age fifty-nine, this humble man of God disappears
into silence leaving a legacy in word and example that still speaks to the heart. He gave us words for life. 4"After his death, his Jesuit brothers indirectly confirmed the reputation for sanctity that Father Médaille
had been accorded by the simple people whom he evangelized. By having his Maxims of Perfectionpublished in 1672, particularly the second part, Exercise for being stripped of self and putting on Jesus
Christ, they demonstrated, that even if it is not exceptional as a literary work, the contents reveal anuncommon experience of spiritual realities. For his Jesuit brothers, too, Father Médaille was a man of
God.5 The Jesuit archives in Rome contain the yearly reports on Father Médaille written by his Provincials. In 1975 the Federation of the Sisters of St. Joseph Research Team with Marius Nepper S.J.
shared in Origins: The Sisters of St. Joseph: In what we know of his acts and his writings, we can affirm that nothing would prevent his canonization and that there are many favourable and convincing indications if we could
supplement them by two miracles. (Cf. R.F. Aubenas, 1958, "Towards the Beatification of Father Médaille?") Different pictures, with officially approved prayers, have been published: in Brazil
(1953); in France, (1954 and 1962); and in the United States of America (1958), to obtain either the beatification of the Founder or some special grace through his intercession.6
It is our joy and mission to spread this expansive charism to the ends of the earth. Thanks to the generous response of multitudes of men and women, who for almost four centuries have followed his spirituality,
we are striving to make our world a better place. All of us in the family of Joseph are now a worldwide community, sharing as one, all the gifts of creation, all the spiritual gifts, and all in the service of humanity,
to the greater glory of God. I sense our beloved Father Médaille commending us for our faithfulness: "You will shine in the world like bright stars because you are offering it the word of life" (Phil 2:16).
In this graced moment as we come together to sit in the presence of our founder and spiritual father, Jean-Pierre Médaille, may we experience that we are truly in the presence of an authentic mystic and
prophet. Let us be united in prayer and communion around the world in the fifty-three different countries where we, his spiritual daughters, live and minister today. Let us continue to Love Love and let Love love
through us to the glory of God.

Q&A: Sked Stretcher - Is a Backboard Required?
Can a patient be lowered in a vertical or horizontal Sked without being lashed to a backboard or without a backboard at all?
The answer is YES! This is one of the advantages of choosing the Sked stretcher.
It can be used with most (if not all) backboards, with a short spine immobilizer, or with nothing at all.
(1) Patient Condition - If spinal injuries or other injuries need the splinting effects or the protection of a backboard, then the victim should be lashed to a backboard. When a backboard is not in place, the Sked will help keep the body in line when tightened; however, the spine can continue to be manipulated up and down as patient is moved over objects or edges which can compromise the spine.
If you are just using the backboard to keep the Sked rigid or protect the patient while placing them over edges, then technically you would not need to lash them to the backboard.
When a confined space is too tight to use a backboard and possible spinal injuries are suspected, or additional protection for placing a patient over an edge is wanted, then a short spinal immobilizer such as the OSS can be used. If a spinal injury is not suspected, then no additional equipment needs to be used with the Sked. It is always good to keep in mind, however, that the thin plastic make-up of the Sked will allow the patient to feel every edge or bump you place or drag them over.
(2) Location - What size portal do you need to get the patient and packaging through in order to perform the rescue? Many times in portals less than 18-inches, the individual pieces of equipment will fit into the space, but once put together they will not fit back out of the space. The Sked was designed for this specific circumstance. The thin plastic construction allows it to fit in places many other litters will not.
The Sked can also be used vertically with the bottom not curled and secured in cases where a hare-traction splint or other injury doesn't allow securement at the bottom.
The Sked is a very user-friendly device that can be used in a multitude of configurations and for various applications. This is one of the reasons why it is such a popular rescue tool, especially for confined space rescue! Stay safe!

Fake news. The term has become almost overused this past year, as stories from less than legitimate news sources ran rampant during the 2016 presidential election.
How is fake news defined? "The word fake means not genuine—a forgery or a counterfeit. It implies an intent to deceive," says a recent Slate article. It's used to describe unsubstantiated stories or media sources.
All this has the heads of many in PR spinning. Because we work with reporters on a regular basis (some of us even went to Journalism school), it's difficult to see these false stories taking precedence over those of respected news sources.
It also brings up an important question for those in the public relations profession. Fake news reduces the public's trust in the media, in turn affecting what we do as PR pros. If the public doesn't trust the media, then what good does it do to secure earned media placements for clients? No trust equals no value.
So, how do we in PR manage to do our jobs when faced with the prospect of fake news? What can we do to combat false stories?
First, we ought not to panic. Public relations practitioners have long battled the issue of rumors or outright lies circulating about the clients or the brands we represent. While fake news has taken on a life of its own in recent months, it shouldn't change our fundamental approach to our work.
1. Build a community of loyal fans and followers: Fostering a community of fans can help your brand in many ways. One important benefit is that, if you consistently nurture it, it will be there for you if you need it.
2. Plan ahead for the worst: Planning is key to combatting fake news, as with any crisis. Add the scenario of false stories appearing about your brand or executives to your crisis preparedness plan. Be ready to wallop social media to fight back and influence public opinion in your favor, should someone attack your brand or CEO. Using a media monitoring platform can help by notifying you whenever your brand is mentioned so you can immediately respond if necessary.
3. Verify and fact check: Of course, PR pros understand the importance of verifying and fact checking their work. The approach to a press release (or any piece of content) should be the same—don't make claims you can't backup.
4. Work with reputable outlets and journalists: While there may be more disreputable media outlets than there used to be, there are still plenty of reliable ones out there. Be sure to work with reporters and publications who have a reputation for and value their status as trusted truth-tellers.
If we do our best to ensure we're not part of the fake news epidemic by adhering to high standards and preparing in advance for the worst, we can help stop fabricated stories from taking over—and help our profession keep its credibility.


10+ Instagram stores you should be following by now!
The scenario of shopping has changed drastically with the entry of Instagram and Facebook stores. In particular, Instagram stores are going super good. A few years back it was a great deal of struggle to find the product we want, but now after the entry of these online stores, all that hustle was put to an end, thanks to IG. You name it; they have it. There is none that is out of reach these days. In a way, they changed the way we live every day. As for me, I follow too many Instagram stores that are so worth sharing. So without any further ado, let's dive into it!!!
If you have an event coming soon and don't have the time to go out shopping, instead of hitting the panic button, hit the Instagram icon on your phone. You can see plenty of options over there. Everything has become quite effortless. Though shopping in person would be a lot more fun, these online stores come really handy when in crisis. Also, Instagram shopping is no less fun. Here, I have got you a list of 16 Instagram stores that I adore so much, and so will you.
This is the first ever Instagram shop I have started following, and I still can't get enough of their products. I think of buying every piece I see on their feed. This store is exclusively for ethnic footwear collection, to be exact, Juttis. It has got a varied number of Juttis, the ones with the kalamkari print, the ones with the mirrors, the ones with the intricate patterns and much more.
After seeing the Instagram feed of Sugar Box, the word that comes racing to my lips is "cute." The products they share over there are worth buying, if not at least you can feast your eyes on them. It is, in fact, a monthly subscription box filled with lots of goodies. Isn't it fun to get a surprise every month?! Even if you don't want to subscribe to their monthly surprise box, you can buy the products individually as per your choice.
This store has a unique feature that no other store in here has. You can buy and sell your clothes at the same time. If you think your wardrobe is old-fashioned, you can sell it on Style flip. They have an android app for the same. You can download it from the play store.
Missa_more has got every style of clothing and in the prettiest way possible. Apart from clothing, they also sell many other products like bags, jewellery, eyewear, and footwear. They also have a special section on their site called "The 99 store." You can visit their website here.
Making a fashion statement has never been this easy after the entrance of online stores. We have seen many Instagram stores for ethnic collection till now and now it's time to see the other side. The style hive is a great place to have western apparels.
Pehnawa is a store that is full of ethnic designs. The collection they have is so very beautiful, vibrant, and uber ethnic. Ethnicity brings out the best in you, and Pehnawa is your way out!
Kalamkari designs are so in these days. And you can find the best ones here. They don't just have Kalamkari clothing but everything in Kalamkari like kitchenware, bags, pillows and bedsheets, calendars, tea coasters, umbrellas and what not.
Again, cute outfits and accessories. If you need a wardrobe makeover, this is your destination. Plus, ships in 24 hours and COD available. That's all, nothing much to say, go catch a glimpse of it.
This IG shop is exclusively for flats. They are affordable, cute, comfortable, a la mode and easy-peasy to pull off your look in style. Now you can go out in flats too without compromising on your style quotient. What else could you ask for?!
Th name reflects their work. They have the most uniquely crafted pieces, and you cannot get enough of these lingering on your Instagram feed. Like the name, their products resonate with happiness and positivity.
And the last but surely not the least, Vastra by Milonee. Comfortable. Elegant. Stylish. No too much bling. If I want to describe this store, these are the words I can find appropriate to it.
That's it, folks! Stay fashionable with these outstanding Instagram stores at your fingertips. So let's call it a day, and I will be back soon with another incredible subject. Till then, adios amigos.
What a fun list!! And Sugarbox India is so adorable. I'll have to check these out. Thanks for sharing!!
Wow thanks so much for sharing. I always forget how many great stores there are on Instagram. LOVE the flip idea of selling your old wardrobe and replacing with new – That's genius!
Great list, that Zoomberg outfit is so cute! Thanks for sharing.
I have literally been searching everywhere on the internet for a place where Insta shops were all put together in a nice little row for me to visit them and look here — I found it!
I have never made a purchase through IG but these items are making me take a second look! I had no idea how many trendy items I could find there! It's spring and it's time for a new wardrobe!
Yeah, do try the Insta stores. They have amazing stuff.
Will be following style flip 😍 so cute oh my goodness!
Thanks, girl! Yeah, do check it out!
Next Post Why I prefer ** Gel nails ** over Acrylic nails?!

"I was really shocked," Alison said, "the pool of candidates they choose from is just so talented." She went on to say that she was very honored to have the opportunity to recognize Grissom and teachers for all the things they've done for her.
One of Alison's teachers, Mrs. Suzanne Bailey, who teaches AP Government and Economics, is also being honored as a US Presidential Scholars Distinguished Teacher. Mrs. Bailey said it has been a delight to teach Alison, and calls their time together a highlight of her teaching career. Alison says, "She's really influenced what I want to study in college. Because of her, I want to study applied math and economics."

The White House Commission on Presidential Scholars selects students based on their academic success, artistic excellence, essays, school evaluations, transcripts, along with community service, leadership, and commitment to high ideals. The program was first established in 1964, and application is by invitation only.
While a student at Grissom, Alison earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT and was also selected as a 2019 National Merit Finalist and has also won numerous awards as a part of her school's swim team, including her selection as 2019 Female Athlete of the Year. Hu will travel to Washington, D.C. in June to receive the U.S. Presidential Scholars medallion at a ceremony sponsored by the White House. While in Washington, the 161 Presidential Scholars will attend receptions, visit area museums and monuments, and get to meet important national and international figures.

A Vote Against Genetic Extinction Technologies
Governments and NGOs Vote Against Genetic Extinction TechnologiesPotentially Dangerous Genetic Engineering Tool Rejected by International Group of Scientists, Conservationists, and Leading Environmental Advocates
OAHU, HAWAI'I — As thousands of government representatives and conservationists convene in Oahu this week for the 2016 World Conservation Congress, international conservation and environmental leaders are sounding the alarm about the use of gene drives — a controversial new synthetic biology technology intended to intentionally cause species to become extinct. In a digital vote release August 26 by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, scientists and government representatives voted overwhelmingly for IUCN and its commissions to adopt a de facto moratorium on support or endorsement of research into gene drives for conservation or other purposes. News of the vote comes as an important open letter is published on the topic.
Scientists and environmental experts and organizations from around the globe have advocated for a halt to proposals for the use of gene drive technologies in conservation. Announced today, a long list of environmental leaders, including Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, genetics professor and broadcaster Dr. David Suzuki, Dr. Fritjof Capra, entomologist Dr. Angelika Hilbeck, Indian environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, environmental justice advocate Nnimmo Bassey and organic pioneer and biologist Nell Newman, have lent their support to an open letter, "A Call for Conservation with a Conscience: No Place for Gene Drives in Conservation." The letter states, in part: "Gene drives, which have not been tested for unintended consequences, nor fully evaluated for ethical and social impacts, should not be promoted as conservation tools."
"Gene drives are basically a technology that aims for a targeted species to go extinct," explains ecologist and entomologist Dr. Angelika Hilbeck, President of the European Network of Scientists for Social and Environmental Responsibility (ENSSER). "While this may appear to some conservationist professionals to be a 'good' thing and a 'silver bullet' to handle complicated problems, there are high risks of unintended consequences that could be worse than the problems they are trying to fix."
Both the leading developers of the technology and also those concerned about gene drives will be attending this week's congress and holding events to raise awareness, hype promises or highlight the potential hazards of gene drives. One near-term gene drive proposal, promoted by U.S.-based non-governmental organization Island Conservation, intends to release gene drive mice on islands to eradicate them. Another led by the University of Hawai'i would develop gene drive mosquitoes for use in Hawaii to combat avian malaria which affects honeycreeper birds. The debate around gene drives is likely to resurface later this year at the negotiations of the United Nations Biodiversity Convention in Cancun Mexico in December.
"Gene drives, also known as 'mutagenic chain reactions,' aims to alter DNA so an organism always passes down a desired trait, hoping to change over time the genetic makeup of an entire species," explains Dr Vandana Shiva of Navdanya. "This technology would give biotech developers an unprecedented ability to directly intervene in evolution, to dramatically modify ecosystems, or even crash a targeted species to extinction."
"To lose sight of the problem of biodiversity loss in favor of false solutions and short-term techno-fixes such as gene drives is a dangerous path," said Erich Pica, President of Friends of the Earth. "There are real community-based conservation efforts that are truly sustainable and should be scaled up and supported. We are very concerned gene drives will drive forward destructive agricultural practices or be used for military purposes — speculative conservation claims are at best an unfounded diversion or smokescreen."
Signatories of the letter, which include indigenous organizations and legal experts, raised legal and moral questions, citing an "ethical threshold that must not be crossed without great restraint."
"From military testing to GMO crops, and now gene drives, Hawai'i should not be treated as a test zone for risky and experimental technologies," said Walter Ritte, Native Hawaiian activist and hunter. "What happens in Hawai'i must be discussed with residents, not decided from a lab on the other side of the continent. Hawaiians should decide what is best for Hawai'i."
Some of the signing organizations will be holding a Knowledge Café event as part of the IUCN World Conservation Congress at 8:30 am (HST) on Monday, September 5. The event will be live streamed at http://www.synbiowatch.org/gene-drives.
In response to upcoming proposals to release gene drive organisms in Hawaii, the local organization Hawai'i SEED will be hosting an educational session on gene drives in the evening on Tuesday, September 6. See http://bit.ly/2bwZEuG for details.
A short briefing outlining concerns about gene drives prepared by the Civil Society Working Group on Gene Drives is available at http://www.synbiowatch.org/2016/08/reckless-driving/. A copy of the letter "A Call for Conservation with a Conscience: No Place for Gene Drives in Conservation" and a complete list of signatories is available at http://www.synbiowatch.org/gene-drives-letter/.
The organizers of the letter are inviting other organizations to join as signatories. Additional organizational signatures can be sent to: genedrives@synbiowatch.org.
More details about the Island Conservation Project to release gene drive mice are available in this article: http://baynature.org/article/re-coding-conservation/. Plans to develop gene drives for Hawaii are being developed by the lab of Dr. Floyd A, Reed of Hawaii University: http://hawaiireedlab.com/wpress/?p=2270.
The IUCN Motion on Synthetic Biology and Conservation (motion no 95) was supported by 71 Governments and 355 NGO's (out of a total of 544 votes cast). It includes the following amendment on Gene Drives: "CALLS UPON the Director General and Commissions with urgency to assess the implications of Gene Drives and related techniques and their potential impacts on the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity as well as equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources, in order to develop IUCN guidance on this topic, while refraining from supporting or endorsing research, including field trials, into the use of gene drives for conservation or other purposes until this assessment has been undertaken". A breakdown of the vote was today made available to IUCN members.

Derrell Bradford says a scholarship to 'hoity-toity high school' saved his life, and carries a passion to bring the same chance to others through school vouchers. His second passion: video games.
Derrell Bradford is a passionate advocate for private school vouchers.
Why he's a player: For much of the past decade, E3 has been the main organizational force behind efforts to bring private school vouchers to New Jersey, a prospect looking closer than ever through the Opportunity Scholarship Act progressing through the legislature. As E3's deputy and now executive director, Bradford is increasingly the voice and the face of E3.
A long path from southwest Baltimore: A scholarship landed him at the prestigious St. Paul's School in Baltimore, that helped him into University of Pennsylvania, where he became friends with the daughter of Peter Denton, the man and the money behind E3. "I went to this hoity-toity high school and it saved my life. All I want is other people to have the same opportunity as me."
Guess the party: "I'm a Democrat, I voted for Obama, and it's been torturous and frustrating to have to work through the Democratic half of the equation. But if you want to make change meaningful and not even more divisive, it takes as long as it takes."
Technophile at work: E3 has a new website design in place, more than 1,000 Facebook friends, an email list of 4,500 and "school choice is a cool choice" TV ads soon to run on VH1 and elsewhere. "This whole thing has to get younger, be about what young people can do for themselves."
Technophile at play: He built his own PC last year. A big video gamer, his personal favorite—at least for the time being—is Mass Effect 2.
Lessons learned: "How difficult it is to make a small idea big in everyone's mind, how difficult it is to nudge large institutions in a different direction, let alone turn them around."
Hometown: A longtime New Yorker, he moved to Jersey City this spring.

There is no doubt that we are fans of body wash and personal care items in our house. Most recently we have both began wearing perfume and cologne.
Since in the past I have the opportunity to review a skin care company called Cremo that makes simple shaving creams and skin care that both men and women can use and they recently released a line of spray and solid colognes.

As we move into the warmer months, shorter skirts and man beards are becoming less prevalent, while opting for a cleaner cooler shave. One of my favorite companies is Cremo. Cremo makes simple shaving creams and skin care that both men and women can use and since little product is needed, the items will last longer.

If there is one thing that I can never get enough of, it is soap! I love trying new soaps, and finding a scent and brand that I love. When I came upon Sappo Hill Soapworks and their selection of soaps that are kettle-made and cut by hand I was intrigued and eager to try them.

There is no doubt that we are fans of body wash and personal care items in our house. The only problem is that most of the body washes that I receive have a feminine scent with hints of florals and candy, that is until recently.

One of the hardest things when shaving is getting a good healthy lather. Recently it was suggested that a shave brush might help create a health lather. One of our favorite companies is Cremo Company so when it when a shave brush was suggested as an addition to the shave routines they were naturally the first place we looked.

When I was young my father made his own cologne. The process came about when he mixed witch hazel, and another item, in addition to a couple drops of the previously made cologne.
As I have gotten older and become a DIY'er myself, I appreciate the effort he went through, but I prefer a simple way – the store bought way.
One of our favorite companies is Cremo Company and lucky for us they have begun making colognes for me and they sent us one to smell, use and enjoy.

What Does Samsung Extra Mean On My Tv Screen
March 6, 2022 by Lisa
How do I stop someone from connecting to my Smart TV?
Why do I have Samsung TV plus?
Samsung TV Plus is a streaming service with over 100 "channels" of content to watch in the US. This allows Samsung smart TV owners, along with its smartphone and tablet customers, a way to be entertained or informed for free. It launched for Samsung's mobile devices in 2020 and on the web in 2021.
What is Samsung Anynet+?
Anynet+ is a function that enables you to control all connected Samsung devices that support Anynet+ with your Samsung TV's remote. The Anynet+ system can be used only with Samsung devices that have the Anynet+ feature.
What is Anynet+ on Samsung Smart TV?
You can now control devices connected to your TV using just one remote control. Anynet+ is the Samsung trading name for a feature of HDMI called Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) referred to as HDMI-CEC. It's designed to allow users to control devices attached by HDMI with a single remote control.
Can someone watch me through my TV?
When you use a smart TV, you face the same security and privacy risks as with any device connected to the internet. Your smart TV's built-in camera and microphone, originally included for voice and facial recognition features, can be accessed by hackers and used to spy on you.
Can a neighbor connect to my TV?
Some of the devices that your neighbors may connect to are smartwatches, lighting systems, personal computers, mobile phones, laptops, Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth-enabled televisions, and Bluetooth earbuds and headphones.
Can someone hack my Samsung TV?
As with most technological devices, your Samsung TV can unfortunately be hacked. Hackers are able to temper with your TV by changing settings, using the camera of the TV to spy on you as well as listen to conversations with the microphone inputted in it.
Is Samsung TV Plus good?
"Samsung TV Plus is one of the top performing apps on our smart TV platform across all categories and has doubled the number of monthly active users over the last year," Cardullo added. "We've increased our channel lineup to over 1,200 channels across 23 countries." In the United States the channels number over 200.
Do you have to pay for Samsung TV Plus?
News, entertainment, and more on your Samsung TV and mobile devices. No subscriptions. No credit cards. Just free TV.
Are the movies on Samsung TV Plus free?
31, Samsung TV Plus has more than 180 free channels streaming on Samsung Smart TVs and select Galaxy mobile devices. Here is what is available: The Movie Hub – Movies include "The Last Exorcism," "The Last Witch Hunter," "Maggie" and "Jackals" from today, Oct.
Is Anynet+ the same as Arc?
If you look for "CEC" in the product description, you will often not find the name. At Philips the standard is called EasyLink, Simplelink at LG, Anynet+ at Samsung and BRAVIA Sync at Sony. Teufel simply calls this function CEC or ARC/CEC. Ultimately, however, it is the same system.
Should HDMI CEC be on or off?
Requirement: Turn HDMI-CEC OFF on both (a) TV and (b) all source devices. Tips: Using HDMI-CEC OFF, allows you to manually control your TV, Sound bar and connected devices using its' respective remotes.
How do I know if my TV has HDMI CEC?
We had to go into Settings > System and enable the "HDMI Device Link" option. You may need to look in a similar place on your device, or just perform a web search for the name of your device and "HDMI-CEC" to find out if the device supports HDMI-CEC and how to enable it if it's not enabled by default.
Which HDMI port should I use on my Samsung TV?
All Samsung TV's from 2010 and 2011 use either the 1.3 or 1.4 HDMI standard. If your TV has the 3D feature it uses the 1.4 HDMI standard. All other TV's use the 1.3 HDMI standard.
How does CEC work?
What is this? HDMI CEC uses any of your devices' remotes to control your entire system. If you use the remote from your TV, for example, to control your DVD player, your remote communicates with your TV to send a CEC signal via your HDMI cable to the DVD player.
How do I turn on CEC and ARC on my Samsung TV?
Open Menu> Sound> Speaker Settings. Set the TV sound output to the receiver. Open Menu> System> Anynet + (HDMI-CEC). Set the Receiver function to On.
How do you tell if your TV has a hidden camera?
You would look at the top part of the bezel (the frame) and notice a slight difference in it, which is where the camera is. It will appear just as a camera on a laptop or tablet screen would. Some Smart TVs will have a retractable camera, which you just have to feel the back of the top edge of the TV to find.
Do smart TVs have hidden cameras?
Do smart TVs have cameras? Yes, some smart TVs have built-in cameras, but it depends on the model of the smart TV. Your owner's manual will tell you if yours does. If your TV offers facial recognition or video chat, then yes, your smart TV has a camera.
How can I tell if I'm being spied on?
Some of the most obvious signs you are being spied on include: Someone seems to always be "bumping into you" in public. As if they always know when and where to find you. During divorce or separation, your ex-partner knows more details than they should about your activities, finances, or other details.
How can I tell if my Neighbour has a listening device?
Strange Noises and Buzzing Sounds You can tell that you're bugged with a listening device if you notice strange buzzing sounds, volume changes on your phone, high-pitched squeals, and beeps that can indicate there's something fishy going on.
What is Bluetooth eavesdropping?
Eavesdropping allows a malicious user to listen to or intercept data intended for another device. Bluetooth uses a frequency-hopping spread spectrum to prevent this attack.
How can someone cast to your TV?
Can a smart TV be hacked without Internet?
If your TV is a smart TV, and you've connected it to your home router via Wi-Fi or Ethernet (and thus the internet), your TV is at risk. Shockingly, one recent proof of concept revealed that some smart TVs can be hacked even if they have no internet access at all.
Does a smart TV use data when off?
In general, a TV should not be consuming data whilst off, except for a quick check overnight.
Can someone watch me through my phone?
Yes, smartphone cameras can be used to spy on you – if you're not careful. According to Sidor, the Android operating system won't allow the camera to record without running a preview – which is how Sidor discovered that he could make the preview so small that it is effectively invisible to the naked eye.
WhAt Is a Samsung Account Used For On Tv
What Is Analog Audio Out Do On Samsung Tv


The Glowing Mandalas book is created by Lin Watchorn. It's 47 pages of various mandalas set to black backgrounds, which is supposed to help make the mandalas glow. Of the 47 mandalas, 44 were created to glow, the final 3 mandalas are your everyday mandalas. It is $5.99 retail.
While I love any adult coloring book, I prefer to choose the items I review. As I flipped through the book one of the first things I noticed was the brief note in the back of the book asking outright for reviews on Amazon. While I realize that the reviews assist the authors, it just felt cheesy to me.
I found the paper too thin for markers. If I didn't place a free sheet of paper between the pages of the book, the markers would bleed through. I was using basic Crayola(c) markers.
Obviously, color pencils are always an option. While the black background did allow my mandala to pop a little more than usual when I colored lightly, which I typically do. I also noticed that if you left any white in the picture the effectiveness of the "glowing" ability was compromised. It didn't glow as much as my other pictures.
I didn't only have problems with the book. There are actually a few things I was pleasantly surprised upon discovery. In fact, I love the fact that there is not a single mandala repeated in this book. There is a nice mix of various styles of mandalas and equal parts mandalas made up with large and small spaces.
It's a nice adult coloring book and I'll certainly enjoy it for many days to come. However, I simply don't see what all the hype is about.
I received this product at a discount for my honest, unbiased review. If this review has been helpful to you, please click the button below indicating so! Thank you!
