Adobe Spyware Reveals (Again) the Price of DRM: Your Privacy and Security
The publishing world may finally be facing its "rootkit scandal." Two independent reports claim that Adobe's e-book software, "Digital Editions," logs every document readers add to their local "library," tracks what happens with those files, and then sends those logs back to the mother-ship, over the Internet, in the clear. In other words, Adobe is not only tracking your reading habits, it's making it really, really easy for others to do so as well.
And it's all being done in the name of copyright enforcement. After all, the great "promise" of Digital Editions is that it can help publishers "securely distribute" and manage access to books. Libraries, for example, encourage their patrons to use the software, because it helps them comply with the restrictions publishers impose on electronic lending.
How big is the problem? Not completely clear, but it could be pretty big. First, it appears Adobe is tracking more than many readers may realize, including information about self-published and purchased books. If the independent reports are correct, Adobe may be scanning your entire electronic library. Borrowing a copy of Moby Dick from your public library shouldn't be a license to scan your cookbook collection.
Adobe claims that these reports are not quite accurate. According to Adobe, the software only collects information about the book you are currently reading, not your entire library. It also collects information about where you are reading that book, how long you've been reading it, and how much you've read. Still disturbing, if you ask us.
Second, sending this information in plain text undermines decades of efforts by libraries and bookstores to protect the privacy of their patrons and customers. (Adobe does not deny transmitting the information unencrypted.) Indeed, in 2011 EFF and a coalition of companies and public interest groups helped pass the Reader Privacy Act, which requires the government and civil litigants to demonstrate a compelling interest in obtaining reader records and show that the information contained in those records cannot be obtained by less intrusive means. But if readers are using Adobe's software, it's all too easy for folks to bypass those restrictions.
Third and most depressing: this flaw may have been unintentional, but we probably should have seen it coming. As our friend Cory Doctorow has been explaining for years, DRM for books is dangerous for readers, authors and publishers alike. Whether or not Adobe actually intended to create this particular vulnerability, if your computer is collecting information about you, and then transmitting it in ways you can't control, chances are you've got a security problem.
But there may be a silver lining to all of this. Several years ago, music fans were shocked and dismayed to discover that copy-protection software on music from Sony artists was actually allowing Sony to monitor the fans' listening habits, sending information home to Sony, and creating a massive security vulnerability. Sound familiar? That discovery led to a public relations meltdown for Sony, not to mention numerous lawsuits. When the dust had cleared, Sony's DRM cost it millions in fees and settlements, and, of course, did nothing to inhibit infringement. For Sony, and many others in the music industry, the price of DRM finally became too high, and it has since been largely abandoned.
So we're going to try to be optimistic. The rootkit scandal put several nails in the coffin of DRM and music. If enough readers, librarians, publishers and authors speak up, perhaps this latest scandal will do the same for DRM and books. In the meantime, we'll be taking a hard look at our e-reader privacy chart.

About Berkeley Heights, NJ
Berkeley Heights is a small community located in Union County, NJ with a population of 12,913. Nestled in the Watchung Mountains, Berkeley Heights is a community of comfortable homes, quiet tree lined streets, which provides the ideal setting for raising a family and enjoying life. Berkeley Heights condominiums are contemporary in design and conveniently located on Springfield Avenue. The name Berkeley Heights has only existed since 1952 when the township changed its name from New Providence Township to avoid confusion with the neighboring New Providence Borough.
Over the course of its history, the area of Berkeley Heights was known more for the villages that lie within it. The first community was Feltville, which grew up in the 1700's with the building of grist and saw mills along the Blue Brook, now part of the Deserted Village in a county-owned park on Cataract Hollow Road.
Part of the town used the name Turkey, which was also used by the area known as the borough of New Providence. Turkey became New Providence in 1750, when the greateful community thanked the Almighty for no one being seriously injured when a church balcony gave way, collapsing on the gallery below. The name Berkeley Heights honors Lord John Berkeley, one of the two proprietors who jointly owned the east and west portions of the state.
The center of what is the town's business area became known as Peppertown in the late 1800's, most likely a reference to the color of the peppers Italian settlers hung out to dry during the harvest season.
Following World War II, the population boom developed the township into a suburban community of single-family homes, and large, stable, industrial parks, most notably the Bell Technology Laboratories (now Lucent Technology), employing thousands of professional workers built in part of the township.
A community effort recently revitalized an area along the railroad tracks on Sherman Avenue near the municipal building and made it into Peppertown Park.
Runnells Specialized Hospital of Union County relocated in 1990 to its new 178,000-square-foot facility, according to marketing director Peggy A. Salisbury. "The hospital is now situated on a 45 acre mountain top tract of land in Berkeley Heights. More than 98 percent of our patients are able to return to their previous living circumstances upon completion of treatment. Our facility has a nursing unit for both long and short stays, which is staffed 24 hours a day by physicians and professional nurses.
Residents enjoy spacious parks and outstanding recreational programs for all ages. Berkeley Heights is an easy commute by train to New York City for work or play and provides access to other locations by nearby major highways. In this time of increasing development, the Township Committee is diligently working to maintain the beauty and character of our community.
Education in Berkeley Heights is divided into two excellent school systems consisting of 4 elementary schools and middle school under the local Board of Education which have modern facilities, a highly qualified teaching staff and ambitious parent-teacher organizations. Governor Livingston Regional High School is well know for its high percentage of Merit Scholars. The district is built on successful cooperation among family, school and community.
Residents can enjoy spacious parks and outstanding recreational programs for all ages. The town pool is open from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Membership is open to all town residents.

This piece ran in last winter's edition of In Recovery Magazine.
I pray it blesses you, and as always – feel free to share the link.
In the Twelve Steps of Recovery, my Higher Power gave to me . . .
There is something cool about the number "twelve." It makes me think of the number of recovery steps; a dozen fresh, hot doughnuts; the number of beloved disciples of Jesus; and the Twelve Days of Christmas (even though that never made much sense to me – having little appreciation for a Partridge in a Pear Tree or Lords a-Leapin').
But I do have all the appreciation in the world for addiction recovery. In my twelfth year of active recovery and in celebration of the Twelve Steps, I composed a "Twelve Days of Christmas" redux.
In the First Step of Recovery, Higher Power gave to me – a serving of humility.
Step 1: We admitted we were powerless over alcohol and that our lives had become unmanageable.
It was difficult to admit that I had zero power over a silly substance – alcohol – truly humiliating, but in the best way possible. I had to learn how to bite off one single day at a time without drinking, then another and another – in complete surrender to God. I continue to approach sobriety this way.


A view that shows tasks, the relationship among the tasks and task progress in relation to time.
The XtraScheduler control has several types of views that provide different arrangements and formats for scheduling and viewing Appointments. The GanttView class represents a Gantt View. This type of view displays appointments (known here as tasks) as horizontal bars along the timescales, and provides end-users with means to indicate task dependencies and task progress.
To specify the time scales simultaneously displayed within the Gantt View, use the GanttView.Scales property.
Lines with arrows which indicate task relationships are DevExpress.XtraScheduler.AppointmentDependency objects contained within the AppointmentDependencyStorage.
Task progress is specified via the DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Appointment.PercentComplete property. Use the DevExpress.XtraScheduler.GanttViewAppointmentDisplayOptions.PercentCompleteDisplayType property to set different modes to show task progress in the view. For a particular appointment, you can specify how the percentage of completion is displayed by handling the SchedulerControl.AppointmentViewInfoCustomizing event and using the DevExpress.XtraScheduler.Drawing.AppointmentViewInfoOptions.PercentCompleteDisplayType property.
All views are stored in the scheduler's view repository, which can be accessed via the SchedulerControl.Views property. To access the settings of the Gantt View, use the SchedulerViewRepository.GanttView property.


It's hard to write when you are surrounded by a swirling vortex of change. Thoughts and stories are whipped away by the wind. You might do your best to grab them as they circle round, but it's likely they'll be shredded by the time you recover them.
But suddenly, the mist is starting to melt away. And the future, previously gray and shapeless, is starting to form into something resembling … well, something. It's hard to tell still.
All I know is, I'm hurting my mental eyes as I strain to make out what's ahead.
On one hand, I'm excited about the next chapter in the adventure. I can't say I dislike change. I'm invigorated by it. I'm easily bored by the same. (Interesting future post: How I struggle to balance my lust for the new with God's decree to be content.) There's a part of my soul that's being re-energized by the approaching possibilities.
But there's another part of me that is frustrated by the uncertainty. I'm definitely a sanguine. But I'm also a planner. I thrive on organization. And change, by its very nature, is hard to control.
My wife is my opposite in most ways. For one thing, she's intensely organized. Organization is her drug. I sometimes wonder if we had kids just so she'd have more people to keep organized..you know, in case she got bored after getting my life together.
I laughed out loud. If organization is a drug, then yes, I'm an addict. I make menus before I go grocery shopping. I do the laundry every Tuesday. I organize my children's books (although not alphabetically; even I'm not that sick.) I have a system for everything. This makes me uber-productive, so I'm OK with the weirdness. But sometimes, it does start to control me. And when the winds of change start to roar around me, my inner control-freak wants to scream. But HOW is it going to work? And WHERE are we going to live? And HOW CAN WE BE SURE this is the right thing?
Ahhh. And there's the rub. I want facts, not faith. I want a well-defined path ahead of me, not one that is veiled in mystery and suspense.
But that is not the life of a disciple. God's best adventures are lived out in the unknown. And there's no better time to exercise what I believe about God than in the eddy of change.
Which means I'm trying to do one of the most unnatural things in all of humanity -- I'm trying to face the vortex with peace, joy and a strong infusion of believing God.
Because while I don't know the future, I do know Him.
OK. I'm calling you later today.
I am in a constant struggle to balance my yearning for change with my need for routine. Try and figure that one out.
Can't wait to hear what happens. It sounds exciting!
I love this post. It hits me right where I need it. Trust ... it's hard. I like answers and I like them right now. I'm not a fan of waiting. However, God always seems to like to put me in these positions. Seems like I should have learned a thing or two by now.
Oh my goodness, I'm just going to keep repeating that to myself all day long. I don't know the future, but I do know Him. Over. And over. And OVER. Yes, yes, yes.
It all sounds very exciting but I understand how hard the waiting for clarity can be. Prayers for peace as the road shifts and leads you to another exciting chapter!
Yes, me, too. Well, wait. No, I'm not organized. But yes, I do know Him and I'm reminded daily (hourly) THAT is what matters right now.
Looking forward to revelation of more of what you are talking about here, friend.
I hear you, girl. I like my ducks in a row, and when they get out of line, it makes me crazy.
I really think you need to move to Texas. Lots of yard space down here!
Oh yes, you nailed it. We don't need to know the details when we know the Master Planner.
Makes me think of that verse (which I can't for the life of me remember the reference to) where it says "by faith, Abraham obeyed....even though he did not know where he was going."
I resist change. It's hard. Nice to meet you. I'm a neighbor of Heather of the E.O.
There were 3 Megans in a row in your comments. Just saying.
And I'm so inspired by your perspective.
Just last Sunday, I listened to a Bethel (gasp) professor talk about faith. He said we need faith with good eyesight. The kind that can see way ahead, beyond the current mist, the current mystery. I liked that. Faith with good eyesight.
It's all these long, brief days later and I'm thinking you wrote this for me. I needed this this morning. It's nice ot meet you by the way. 'Hullo.' This post made be breathe a sigh of trust and the Colorado pictures brought a wave of nostalgia.... I grew up there! I miss it. I think Becky Groves wife and I are twins. ;) Thanks for reminding that it is all about Who I know.

Northern Lakes Community Mental Health (CMH) serves people with mental illness, emotional disturbance and developmental disabilities living in these six Michigan counties: Crawford, Grand Traverse, Leelanau, Missaukee, Roscommon, and Wexford. Priority is given to individuals with the most severe forms of serious mental illness, serious emotional disturbance, and intellectual/developmental disability.
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, Healthy Michigan, MI Child and Healthy Kids. If you do not have these forms of insurance, or if your insurance does not cover the full cost of your services, you are assessed on a sliding fee scale based on your income. Any charges will be made known to you prior to treatment. You will not be denied services due to your inability to pay for those services.
If you are a Medicaid beneficiary and have a serious mental illness, or serious emotional disturbance, or intellectual/developmental disabilities, or substance use disorder, you may be eligible for some of the Mental Health Medicaid Specialty Supports and Services listed above.
Before services can be started, you will take part in an assessment to find out if you are eligible for services. It will also identify the services that can best meet your needs. You need to know that not all people who come to us are eligible, and not all services are available to everyone we serve. If a service cannot help you, your Community Mental Health will not pay for it. Medicaid will not pay for services that are otherwise available to you from other resources in the community.
During the person-centered planning process, you will be helped to figure out the medically necessary services that you need and the sufficient amount, scope and duration required to achieve the purpose of those services. You will also be able to choose who provides your supports and services. You will receive an individual plan of service that provides all of this information. You may be interested in having an "Independent Facilitator" (pdf) to help you develop your individual plan of service and run your Person-Centered Planning meeting. A current list of independent facilitators is included in the Provider Directory.


Stochastic finance is concerned with modelling the pricing behaviour of different assets, and the securities based on them, using methods from the theory of stochastic processes and stochastic analysis. To get useful information about the market behaviour one requires powerful computational methods which can analyse the mathematical models in real time. The aim of this project is to describe a variety of techniques to calculate the price of an option. We model the price of the underlying asset with a stochastic jump diffusion process. We then approximate the process by a Markov chain. Each method uses the transition rate matrix (Q-matrix) of the approximating Markov chain to estimate the price of the option.
An option is a type of derivative securities i.e. a security derived from the underlying asset. A call option gives the holder of the option the right but not the obligation to buy a certain fixed amount of an asset at a predefined strike price \(K\) before some time \(T\) known as the maturity or expiry time. A put is defined similarly except the holder of the option have the choice to sell an asset instead of buying it. A European option is where the option can only be exercised at expiry while an American option can be exercised anytime before maturity.
A more "exotic" type of option is the European up-and-in call option which is an example of a knock-in barrier option. . Unlike the simpler vanilla European and American options this option is path dependent as it can only be exercised if the stock price hits a certain level \(H\) before the maturity of the option.
At some prescribed expiry \(T\) the buyer has an agreement to buy the stock for a strike price \(K\) if the value of the stock is above \(K\) at expiry and at some point before expiry the stock crossed some barrier \(H\). However, if the stock price never crosses the barrier then the buyer may be entitled to a rebate. Compare this to a vanilla option where we need only know the value of the stock at expiry in order to evaluate the option.
The above figure shows two stock prices where one of them (red) never hits the barrier (dotted line) during the period \([0,1]\) and the other (blue) crosses it at some point during the same period. We will mainly consider this type of option in the subsequent sections since the other barrier options such as the up-and-out, down-and-in and down-and-out etc can be priced in a similar manner.
Below is an overview of the material that can be found on this website.
Here a jump-diffusion model is described and an outline of the numerical method for pricing barrier options is given.
A modification to the sampling method is given here.
An example of a stochastic volatility model is described as well as the method to discretise and approximate the model by a Markov chain.
A more theortical approach to pricing the option is presented in the setting of a geometric Brownian motion. The formula for the PDF of the payoff of a up-and-in call option is derived under this setting.
We acknowledge and thank the help of our supervisors.
We would also like to acknowledge the funding body EPSRC and the support from MASDOC CDT.

One of the most routine concerns that we hear about at Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in North America is dusty air filters. They can seem like a very insignificant piece of the big home comfort puzzle, but the role they play in helping us maintain comfort is a lot bigger than most homeowners realize. Regardless if it is cooling season or heating season, having a dirty air filter can cause a number of concerns for your heating and AC system.
Diminished airflow. This is easily the largest headache you'll note when your home's air filter is badly clogged. The longer the air filter goes without being swapped out, the more dirt, dust and other particles build up. Of course, this prevents air from passing through the filter as it should, meaning your system is working a lot harder to give you the same amount of air.
Frozen coil. If your system is running harder due to a clogged air filter, you also run the risk of having the cooling coil freeze inside of the system, because it's working overtime to leave you with cool air.
Total loss of cooling or heating. This is also a probability if your air filter goes unchanged for months and months on end. In essence, you will have worked your system so hard that something breaks or wears out and needs to be replaced or serviced.
Short cycling. Short cycling means the heating and cooling system turns on and off more than it should. When your system short cycles, it could overheat or break down from the added work, potentially causing damage to your system.
If you're not sure when you last switched out your air filter, it may be a good time to do so in order to get around any potential damage that may come with a clogged air filter. If you don't know where your home's air filter is located or you simply have a question about the variety of air filters available, give Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 866-397-3787 or schedule an appointment online.

Makalani › Tours › Cultural tours and tribes
Africa is a home to many ethnic groups. Some local tribes open the doors of their dwellings to tell more about their rich culture and traditions.
The most numerous group, Owambo people, represents almost half of Namibia's total population. The Owambo live mostly in the north of the country. They are engaged in fishing and agriculture.
People of the Kavango tribe make up 10%. They belong to 5 groups with different culture and languages. People of the Kavango tribe live in the northeast of the country near the Okavango River. They settled down there between 1750 and 1800 and mostly engaged in agriculture, fishing and hunting.
The Damara are one of the first inhabitants of Namibia. They make up 7.5% of Namibia's total population. They live in area of towns of Outjo, Kamanjab, Khorixas, near Brandberg Mountain at present. People of the Damara are engaged in cattle-breeding, hunting, growing tobacco, pumpkin, and maize. Many of them work in area of tourism.
The proud Herero people live in the northern part of Kalahari Desert. They make up about 7.5%. At present many of the Herero live in towns of Windhoek, Okahandja, Otjiwarongo, Gobabis, Grootfontein, Karibib, and Omaruru. The fact that Herero associated closely with Europeans during 100 years imprinted on Herero culture. Women still wear beautiful traditional dresses from Victorian times.
The Himba tribe is close to Herero group. The Himba live in northwest part of Namibia, in Kaokoland in accordance with centuries-old traditions. There are about 30 000 people.
The Nama people call themselves "the Red Nation". They make up about 5%. At present they live in central and southern parts of Namibia. Traditionally, the Nama people were engaged in hunting and gathering. They have innate talents for music and dancing.
Other small groups of people:
the Caprivians (3,7%), living in the eastern part of Kaprivi;
the first inhabitants of Namibia – the San (Bushmen) people, they make up about 3%.
The largest tribal group in Botswana is the original Tswana tribe, which still comprises almost 50% of the entire population, followed by the Bakalanga people who occupy the northeast and central districts of Botswana for almost 1000 years.
The riverine tribes of the Bayei, Basubiya and Hambukushu inhabit the Okavango and Chobe waterways in Ngamiland District. The Bayei were the first to arrive in the 1700s, closely followed by the Basubiya. The Hambukushu is regarded as master basket weavers.
Bakgalagadi tribe is also of Sotho-Tswana origin and close related to the Batswana people, sharing similar customs and believes.
The Khoi and San were the first inhabitants of southern Africa. Their origin is not certain, but rock paintings that were probably done by their ancestors date back to 25 000 years. The present population is southern Africa is about 100 000 and in Botswana alone there are 52 000- 55 000. Unfortunately, their culture and knowledge are disappearing and they rely on government assistance program.
The Banoka live in the Okavango area and they resemble the San of the Kalahari in both language and physique.
The Herero originated in Namibia and only recently moved into the north of the country around Lake Ngami in 1904-05 to escape the Germans.
There is a significant group of white Batswana mostly descendants of the missionaries, farmer, traders that are settled in the country over the past 100 years.
More than 70 various tribes live in Zambia. One of the numerous one is Lozi which live in the west of Zambia. It migrated from Central Africa in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Ngoni tribe came to the eastern part of Zambia from Southern Africa. Archeological finds prove that the Tonga tribe has lived in the southern province of Zambia for not less than 900 years already. Other smaller groups of the country are Lunda, Bemba, Kaonde, Luvale and many more.
Culture of Zambian peoples is rich of colorful cultural festivals. Annually, there are more than 30 traditional ceremonies to be enjoyed. The Kuomboka is the most famous of the ceremonies and takes place in the Western Province. The journey of the Lozi Chief takes most of the day and the entire village in a flotilla of canoes, headed by the royal barge, finally arrives at Limulunga, further u the Zambezi River, where a huge crowd celebrates with traditional dancing and singing.
Other cultural ceremonies are Likumbi Lya Mize, Mutomboko, Livingston Cultural and Arts Festival.

After being MIA for over a month (zero motivation level) I'm back to creating content and hopefully being regular in posting. Today it is time to share my November Favorites – all the things I've loved through the month.
Time to compile my monthly favorites.
Starting the list with my most favorite face packs! This is a clay mask which is enriched with bamboo charcoal for the Himalayan Foothills and Green Tea leaves from Japan. You can distinctly see the tiny green tea leaves in it.
Clearly this face pack is at top of my favorites list.
It unclogs and refines pores to reveal your natural glow. Skin is deeply cleansed leaving it smooth and glowing. It gently exfoliates and is suitable for all skin types. You can use it 1-2 times a week.
Absolutely love this. Give this a try and you'll say the same.
Cetaphil is such a popular and understated brand. It makes amazing skincare products. The one that I've loved a lot is there ultra hydrating lotion. It served as a great day cream.
Looking for an affordable and efficient lotion? Cetaphil has some good options.
If you're someone who has dry skin, then this would be the perfect facial cream for you. It provides an instant boost of hydration. The non-greasy, non-irritating formula makes it suitable for all skin types. It is fragrance free and the non-comedogenic formulation ensures that your pores aren't blocked. Also it is so affordable.
As the name suggests, it is a matte lip crayon. The two colors that I have are – Rose Dawson (05) and Mary Poppins (02).
True to its name, this lip crayon is matte as hell, yet doesn't dry your lips.
It is a comfortable formulation which sets completely matte in one stroke. Glides very easily on your lips and doesn't dry your lips when worn for long hours. Highly pigmented and amazing color pay off. It doesn't budge or feather which is a great plus. Each lip crayon comes with its own sharpener.
Mary Poppins is a bright fuchsia with cool blue undertones. Makes the perfect dupe for Mac Flat Out Fabulous (Retro Matte Collection).
Rose Dawson is a pretty peachy pink, a great everyday color.
Bonus points for such cutesy names.
Maybelline knows their mascaras! I think in the drugstore category Maybelline makes some of the best mascaras and these can give high end ones tough competition. Over the past few months I've loved the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara (Washable Black).
Crushing over this sensational mascara.
It doesn't clump your lashes and gives them a voluminous look. I really like the wand; it separates your lashes giving them a fluttery full-fan feel. If you don't wear falsies, yet want that glam look, then the Lash Sensational mascara is a good pick.
If you have not included a toner in your skincare regime, you don't know what you're missing out on. Toner is such an important step, and many times a lot of us tend to ignore it. Invest in a good toner, use it regularly, and you'll surely the difference in your skin.
I use the toner with the honey water face wash and it has been working pretty well.
Biotique Honey Water toner is a clarifying toner with Himalayan waters. It is an Ayurvedic recipe and is suitable for all skin types. It refreshes and brightens your skin, has a cooling sensation on your skin. The fragrance is mild and goes away in a couple of minutes. It is gentle yet deeply cleanses your skin.
These are all the things I've been obsessing over in the past month. Let me know what are your favorites and if you've used any of these products. Bye!

Arsenal vs Udinese: Preview and Starting Eleven
With everything happening to Arsenal in the last four days, the only thing left was a Champions League play off! We are going to face Udinese, tonight, in the first leg of the qualifier with a much depleted squad.
Udinese are a decent side and they will offer us more than what Newcastle did on the weekend. These fixtures before haven't caused us much trouble before. Therefore, failing to overcome Udinese over two legs is not only going to be disastrous, we will also have a hard time in attracting players to the club this season.
Just like us, Udinese have also lost their best players. However, they still have a team that will give us a hard time. With Di Natale, they have a striker that can cause us all sorts of trouble if we are not on top of our game. They will test us on a more continuous basis than what Newcastle did and they will surely look for an away goal. Being Italians, they will also have a sound defence and give us very little space. This also will prove advantageous for us if we utilize our pace effectively. Therefore, quick and accurate passing will do the trick and open them up.
Still, I am expeceting a tight game so our first priority must be to not concede a goal and then find the winner.
With Van Persie and Nasri suspended and Wilshere out injured, we are without three key figures. Rosicky, it is now confirmed, didn't pass his late fitness test and suddenly we have very limited options to start with.
We were short of ideas going forward against Newcastle, now with no Van Persie and Rosicky; I am hoping that the others will rise to the occasion and make their mark.
I am caught between Chamakh and Bendtner to take the striker role. Chamakh didn't have a very good pre-season while Bendtner was busy trying to move out. Still, with the future of Bendtner not clear, I will start with Chamakh and hope he shows he is a striker. Bendtner can come on later, if required.
To partner him, I will go with Arshavin and Gervinho.
In the middle I will start with Song and Frimpong behind Ramsey. Song has the ability to produce great passes, so I will want him to play a bit up field. Frimpong should stay behind tonight and shield the back four. Ramsey will have to take more responsibility and make sure he doesn't give the ball away in dangerous positions.
The backline will pick itself up. Sagna and Gibbs on the flanks, Vermaelen and Koscielny to partner as centre backs. Szczesny will of course be in goal.
We can then bring on Walcott and Chamberlain for their pace. I am also hoping that Arshavin will take over as the creative outlet for us today. He can carve open defenses easily and tonight his skill will be more than needed.
Probable starting eleven: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Song, Ramsey, Frimpong, Gervinho, Chamakh, Arshavin.
Udinese's Manager, Francesco Guidolin, admitted that this is the most important game in their history. So,we won't have it easy any minute of the game, over the two legs. If we want to qualify for the group stages, every player will have to perform. His words were:
"Udinese also has a tradition of playing in Europe before, but for the charm of the match and for the opponent then this is probably the most important game in Udinese's history. I would probably compare it to the match against Ajax in the UEFA Cup some years ago but because it is the Champions League this is probably more important."
As Wenger said:
"We want to be in the Champions League, we want to qualify, that's what we want to achieve."
And that is what we would all like. Despite being short in number, I am confident the team will give a great response. It is our first home game of the season, by the way, so a win will be a an ideal result.
Have a good day and enjoy game. Hopefully in a fortnight, we will be in the group stages of the Champions League.

Arsene wants Nasri to stay as Chelsea shows interest in him!
With Fabregas gone, many believe, it is only a matter of time before Nasri also moves out. With continuously being linked away from Arsenal for the past eight months, the Frenchman hasn't helped the cause as his intentions are still not clear. However, he, not signing the contract is indication enough of not wanting to commit his future with Arsenal. At the moment, it seems that he may be on his way to Manchester City.
Arsene Wenger, on the contrary, is reluctant to sell him. When asked about his future, the manager admitted that he wants him to stay and added he will do his best to sort the situation.
"Ideally I want Samir Nasri to stay, but as much as we were in a strong position on the contract side with Cesc, the situation is a bit different. Hopefully we can sort the situation out."
I can't help it, but I have made my mind that Nasri will leave us. If we couldn't persuade him to sign the contract in the last eight months, how can the remaining 14 days of the window change that? Still, I don't mind trying and I won't mind to be proved wrong. Bribing him with the central role might change his mind!? or quality new signings!?
Meanwhile, Chelsea's coach, Andre Villas- Boas, after their opening game on Sunday, expressed his interest in Nasri. Chelsea are in the market for a midfielder and Villas nonchalantly admitted that Nasri is an exciting player.
These were his words, when he was asked about Luca Modric of Tottenham:
"I just explained to you the sense of urgency in midfield. But it doesn't mean that it's Luka. Not that I'm interested, but you have Samir Nasri terminating contract. He's one of the most exciting players in the Premier League and that's the reality, as well as Luka, as well as other players."
With Chelsea showing interest and Nasri not wanting to commit, the best option for us will be to sell him to the highest bidder, that is, if Nasri hasn't agreed terms with City already. A bidding war between Chelsea and Man City is sure to increase his value and that will help us to acquire a better replacement in return!
What do you all think? Should we keep him or bring this chapter to an end too?

Team news ahead of Udinese, Bendtner might be involved today | Arsenal, Newcastle and Alex Song charged by FA
Arsenal today will play the crucial first leg of Champions League play-off against Udinese.
Arsene Wenger on Monday gave an update on the squad in his pre-match press conference. He revealed that Rosicky faces a late fitness test ahead of the game despite being included in the squad. Apart from that we are going to be without Van Persie and Nasri through suspension.
Arsene said:
"We have an uncertainty from Saturday about Rosicky. He is in the squad and will have a fitness test on Tuesday morning. Of course we have Van Persie and Nasri suspended."
Wenger himself is going to carry out one-match touchline ban.
On respecting the ban, Wenger said:
"I can be in the hotel with the team. I just cannot be in the dressing room pre-match so I watch the game from the stands like everybody else. I do not want to cheat with the rules but I can watch the game."
In interesting bit of update, we might see Bendtner in action today after Arsene confirmed that he is still an Arsenal player. No club has until now acquired his services and the manager added that if things remains the same, he will stay at Arsenal and fight for his place.
These were Wenger's words:
"In his interview Bendtner said he was gone, but I checked and he's not gone at all! I promised I would let him go if he found the right club and that has not changed because when I make a promise I keep it. But if he doesn't find the right opportunity he will stay and fight for his place like everybody else. He looks sharp in training."
In other news, FA has pressed charges against both Arsenal and Newcastle in the aftermath of the game on weekend. The incident, during the game, involved mass confrontation between players from both sides that ended in Gervinho's dismissal.
Also during the game, Alex Song acted out of order when he stamped on Joey Barton. He is separately charged for violent conduct. Both the clubs have to respond by 18th while Song has until 16th.
Meanwhile, Arsenal have also lodged a claim, following Gervinho's straight red card.
following is the statement that was released by FA:
"Newcastle United and Arsenal have been charged by The FA with failing to control their players following Saturday's (13 August) fixture at St James' Park.
Both clubs have been charged following a mass confrontation of players following an incident in which Arsenal's Gervinho was also shown a red card in the 75th minute.
Following Gervinho's dismissal Arsenal have today lodged a claim that the standard punishment of a three-match suspension is clearly excessive. A regulatory Commission will hear that claim on 16 August.
Meanwhile Arsenal's Alex Song has been charged separately by The FA with violent conduct following an incident earlier in the same fixture.
Both clubs have until 4pm on 18 August to respond to the charge, whilst Song must reply by 6pm on 16 August."
As things stand, we are going to face Liverpool, Manchester United and Swansea without Gervinho and Alex Song.

Multiple groups claim renting rooms from ASUCLA come with steep or surprise fees
Both UCLA and non-UCLA groups said they face unexpected room rental costs when hosting events on campus.
Associated Students UCLA room rentals are free for student groups for certain venues, but additional charges may be added after a group hosts an event. Prices increase for on-campus clients as well as off-campus clients, who can ask for funding from student government and neighborhood councils.
Outside groups may have to allocate a large budget to finding an event space if they intend to host their event at UCLA. Joseph Lopez, state ambassador at WestCal Academy, a secondary education nonprofit college, said he was part of one of these groups.
Lopez said he was discontent with the pricing at a North Westwood Neighborhood Council meeting at which WestCal Academy was requesting funds from the council in order to host an event at UCLA.
UCLA asked the nonprofit for $5,000 to rent out the Village Valley Room at Weyburn Terrace, Lopez said.
Lopez said WestCal Academy has hosted events on other college campuses, such as UC Davis, California State University, Long Beach and Humanities & Arts Academy of Los Angeles, and has never been requested to pay a fee.
"We do not charge students for our program and every penny counts," Lopez said. "These costs restrict our ability to interact with UCLA students."
Student groups also face additional fees that impede their ability to host and organize on-campus events.
Although student organizations can rent venue spaces for free on campus, there have been additional charges and fees placed on accounts after the event, which have put student groups' accounts on hold, said Siena Villegas, a rising third-year business economics student and member of Samahang Pilipino Education and Retention.
"ASUCLA said we didn't clean up after ourselves and that the charge was for the extra janitorial costs," Villegas said. "But every time we use a space, we are definitely sure to clean up everything. There was no appealing process either."
Villegas said she hopes a clearer process can be established in the future for student organizations and ASUCLA with regards to these rental spaces.
Kimberly Bonifacio, the Undergraduate Students Association Council internal vice president and rising fourth-year political science student, said these additional venue costs can affect student groups' abilities to host events because not all groups are aware of the funding applications offered to alleviate the costs.
Bonifacio said student groups are able to apply for various scholarships that allocate funds to encourage student programming.
"I personally think that student groups should be able to host events on campus without having to take on more financial costs because students pay enough student fees," Bonifacio said.
ASUCLA Event Services only add costs after an event if there was a change requested by the student group the day of the event, if the group exceeded its approved event length or if the group engaged in unapproved activities that imposed extraordinary cleaning costs on the venue, according to an email statement from ASUCLA.
According to ASUCLA, an appeals process is already in place. Fees that student groups disagree with can be appealed to the events division manager, according to ASUCLA Event Services protocol. If questions still exist, then appeals can be made to the student union director.
Despite most rooms being free for student use, certain buildings like Royce Hall are not and certain student groups may have to allocate large amounts of money to reserve these kinds of spaces.
Eunice Kang, the finance advisor for Korean Culture Night and a rising fourth-year psychology student, said the majority of the money her student organization raises goes to renting event spaces.
"Korean Culture Night's annuals production cost varies anywhere from $45,000-$50,000 total per year, and we project around $30,000 of that cost goes toward renting out UCLA Royce Hall and other facilities such as Kerckhoff Grand Salon for our KCN Run-Thru Rehearsals," she said in an email.
Kang said that, with the production value of Korean Culture Night being extremely steep, the organization applies to at least eight to 10 different programming funds.
"These programming funds are very receptive to our applications and needs because they are understandings of the costs and efforts that are put into organizing student-led culture nights and are willing to financially donate thousands of dollars for our event," she said.

Kawasaki Ninja 650 ER-6f ABS L2-L5 Repair Manual (2012-16)
Complete PDF version of the Service Manual for the Kawasaki Ninja 650/ER-6f/ABS. A MUST for every Ninja 650 owner.
Kawasaki Ninja 650R
The Kawasaki Ninja 650R, also known as the ER-6f or EX-6, is a motorbike of Kawasaki's Ninja series that has been on the market since 2006. The R suffix is dropped from the name of the 2012 model. It is a middleweight motorbike with a parallel-twin engine that is intended for usage on paved roads. They offer contemporary appearance and features, as well as ergonomic sitting with a low center of gravity. Because the engine has a 180° crankshaft, the firing intervals are irregular, ranging between 0° and 540°.
In 2006, the 650R and its naked brother, the ER-6n, were released. The naked ER-6n did not on the market in North America until the 2009 model year. The Ninja 250R and Ninja 500R models previously existing in Kawasaki's sportbike roster, which also included the Ninja ZX variants. Kawasaki upgraded the Ninja 650R for 2009, with new bodywork, mirrors, gauges, lights, and a new tune on the same 649 cc (39.6 cu in) engine. Along with chassis and minor adjustments, the 2012 Ninja 650 and ER-6n received an all-new bodywork design, as well as a new 2-piece seat assembly, 20mm larger handlebars, and a new tachometer above an LCD display that shows speed, trip meters, fuel consumption, and so on.
The new Ninja 650 also has an Economical Riding Indicator, which activates when the bike is using little gasoline. Kawasaki has upgraded the Ninja 650 for 2017 with a new frame trellis layout, which adds to the new reduced weight and improved handling. Its new sharper appearance has replaced the unusual side mount rear shock with a more conventional one, as well as a slipper clutch.
In Europe, the Ninja 650R is marketed as the ER-6f ("f" signifying faired), while the "naked" roadster is marketed as the ER-6n. Kawasaki released the ER-6n in the United States in 2009. The ER-6f varies somewhat from the Ninja 650R in that it comes equipped with passenger handlebars (as does the ER-6n). Furthermore, ABS brakes were made available for both the ER-6n and ER-6f. The Versys is an ER-6 variant that uses many of the same components as the ER-6. In many European nations, the bare 6n model has proven to be more popular than the ER-6f.
However, in other countries, including as Australia and India, the faired Ninja 650R has proved to be more popular than the un-faired ER-6n, becoming Kawasaki's most popular'sports-tourer.' The ER-6n model has been out of production since 2018, and has been replaced by the Z650 series.
2012–2015 models

An IoT-as-a-service program is on the way from Ingram too. Like the device-as-a-service equivalent Ingram first introduced two years ago, that offering will enable end users to pay for IoT solutions via monthly subscription payments rather than big upfront checks. With the help of Ingram's finance organization, however, partners will get their share of the deal in one lump sum immediately.
Hembree's priorities for 2019 are more modest: adding market development, inside sales, field support, and other staff to his still young team. He'll also be rolling out more resellable solutions from vendors Ingram already works with and adding more vendors to that club.

Betting goes well with Nigerian Music. If you are into betting on Betway on https://www.betway.com.ng/, we are sure you would want to know what music goes with it.
Don't worry – we will tell you how to enhance your Betway experience and make live betting even better.
If you are a music lover and betting aficionado, you'll understand what I mean. For others, African music is full of reggae, hip-hop and popular style. Which means it has a fast and quick tempo, high beats and with solid musical instruments like percussion, drums, trumpets and Xylophones.
So, what's common among them? It's the intrinsic loud noise and foot tapping music.
Nigerian music much like African music is fast and catchy with a high tempo. It is sort of addictive and catchy. Exactly, this is what betting requires. Nigerian Music aids and helps in betting.
Betting becomes better when enjoyed in high tempo music, and with catchy hip hop lyrics and tunes. People get so engrossed and go with the flow that they are drawn to bet more and forget about the real world.
Many research studies reveal that music has a long-lasting experience of people's behaviour and mood. High tempo music is known to get the adrenaline rushing. Slow music, on the other hand, calms the mind and soothes the sense, eventually slowing down the movements and making a person relax and inactive.
This very fact is very well used by casino and bar owners who play fast music, to make people splurge and spend.
Music is enjoyed for fun and for entertainments. So is betting. In fact, both go well together, as both are popular forms of entertainment and aid each other.
Nigeria has many casinos and slot machines. These are the places which play fast foot tapping music and hip hop to accelerate wins and the money wagered or handled. Good music is also known to be a great aphrodisiac.
Afrobeat is a style most closely attached to Nigeria. It is super cool and very addictive. Do you know about Fela Kuti? He was a very famous Nigerian musician and played and performed in a very distinct Afrobeat style.
This type of music is the kind that is needed to take betting to an all-new world. It not only makes betting enjoyable, fluent, fast but also uber-popular.

Q: Python Global variable modification does not work I am trying to update a global  variable AUTHEN which refers to the socket's inputstream.
In the run() method, I am trying to modify the AUTHEN's value. However, it never changes when I actually run the program. I am sure my server is did send other message other than "something"
import threading
import sys
import time
import socket
import ssl

AUTHEN ="Something"
class timer(threading.Thread):

    def __init__(self):
        self.sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
        self.ssl_sock = ssl.wrap_socket(self.sock, ssl_version=ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23)
        self.ssl_sock.connect(('localhost',9991))
        self.isrun = True
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)

    def send(self,str):
        self.ssl_sock.send(str + "\n")

    def run(self):
        global AUTHEN
        while self.isrun:
            receive = self.ssl_sock.recv(1024)
            AUTHEN = receive
            print("recv ->" +AUTHEN)
        self.sock.close()
        self.ssl_sock.close()

    def close(self):
        self.isrun == False

    def authentication(self,username,password):
        global AUTHEN
        print "Verifing identity"
        self.ssl_sock.send("U&P"+"sprt"+username+"sprt"+password+'\n')
        while (True):
            print AUTHEN
            if(AUTHEN == str("OK\r\n")):
                return AUTHEN
            else:
                print "Please Try again"
                break

def main():
    client = timer()
    client.start()

#LOG IN
while(True):
    loginMessage = str(raw_input("Please enter username and password as following format: \n username%password \n"))
    username = loginMessage.split("%")[0]
    password = loginMessage.split("%")[1]
    Result = client.authentication(username,password)
    if(Result == str("OK\r\n")):
        print "LOG IN SUCCESSFULLY"
        print "Welcome:\n","Command to be used:\n","-a filename\n" "-c number\n", "-f filename\n","-h hostname:port\n","-n name\n","-u certificate\n","-v filename certificate\n","otherwise input will be treated as normal message"
        break
if __name__=='__main__':
main()

Thank you.

A: You need to call main()
You need to Start() your thread in order to initialize Run() which will set your global variable.  Your thread.start() is in your main() def.
import threading

class ThreadClass(threading.Thread):
    def __init__(self):
        threading.Thread.__init__(self)

    def run(self):
        global a
        a = 'Test'
    def main(self):
        thread = ThreadClass()
        thread.start()

a= 'funny'
print a

ThreadClass().main()
print a

>>>funny
>>>Test

A: Try removing from your code the two sentences:
global AUTHEN;

Q: PATCH request to lock branch of ADO repository failure I'm attempting to use the ADO api to lock repository branches, following the instructions provided here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/git/refs/update-ref?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1&tabs=HTTP.
Command:
$curl -d '{"isLocked": true}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' PATCH "https://dev.azure.com/{my_org}/{my_project}/_apis/git/repositories/{my_repo}/refs?filter=heads/{my_branch}&api-version=5.1"

response:
{"$id":"1","innerException":null,"message":"Value cannot be null.\r\nParameter name: refUpdates","typeName":"System.ArgumentNullException, mscorlib","typeKey":"ArgumentNullException","errorCode":0,"eventId":0

Can anyone provide any insight on what refUpdates parameter/value needs to be added to the request body to create a valid request?

A: The below works on my side:
curl --location --request PATCH 'https://dev.azure.com/<Organization>/<Project>/_apis/git/repositories/<Repo Name>/refs?filter=heads/<branch name>&api-version=5.1' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic <Personal Access Token>' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{
    "newRefInfo": "",
    "IsLocked":true
}'

Adding newRefInfo seemed to be necessary.
