Administrator Email - 6/2/2018 - Introduction
Version 8.0 - Part 2
This is Part 2 of our ClubExpress version 8.0 announcement.
Click here to read Part 1 - 5/25/2018.
Click here to read Part 3 - 8/1/2018.
With this email, we are announcing many new and enhanced features in ClubExpress, including a new interface for creating blast emailings, more Internationalization features, enabling photos and photo albums for clubs with chapters, and many smaller changes. Click the links on the left to read all about them.
Everything except the new interface for blast emailings has already been deployed. Since blast emailings are so important to so many organizations, we wanted to tell you about the changes, and show them to you as well, before we deploy them.
We have scheduled another webinar for next Tuesday, June 12th, 2018 at 12:00 noon Eastern, 11:00 AM Central, 10:00 AM Mountain, and 9:00 AM Pacific., where we will demonstrate the new features. For more information, visit our Webinars page. And click here to RSVP for this webinar. Note that attendance is limited to the first 200 people; if you're late, you may not be able to connect. However, the webinar will be recorded and the edited recording will be available within 48 hours.
The manuals are being updated with these new features. The online help system will be updated in the next week. And we'll try to have a video tutorial on the new Emailing interface by the end of the month.
When we presented the Privacy webinar last week (see below for links to a recap) and announced the changes to ClubExpress to support GDPR, many of you asked for more time to notify members about the new screen they will see when they first log in. You also asked for the ability to customize the text around the "Marketing and Fund-raising" question, to explain to members why your organization shares information with partners.
I'm pleased to announce that we have listened to these requests. This morning (Tuesday, June 5th, 2018), we deployed an update to the Privacy Options screen. This update provides a text field where you can add your own text to this question.
We've also decided to delay launching the member and non-member Privacy screens until Wednesday of next week (June 13th), to give you time to update privacy settings and notify members about the new screen they will see.

A number of customers told us that the current interface for creating blast emailings was too complex. They wanted something easier to use, perhaps closer to how the dedicated emailing programs such as Constant Contact® or MailChimp® worked. So we listened and redesigned the interface for creating and editing blast emailings.
This new functionality has been deployed and is now available for use. And the administrator manual has been updated.
Click here to watch the webinar
The way emails are initially created and saved has changed slightly. You will no longer select a template or blank layout and then configure basic information. Instead, we take you straight into the main editing screen. Two expandable panels at the top allow you to configure basic information and the distribution list; these parts of the interface have changed in appearance only. As each panel is completed, its status changes from red to green. When you define distribution information, you will now see a scaled graphic chart of emails to be sent vs those that are invalid, not functional, or where the member is declining to receive these emails.
The major changes start below, in the emailing designer. A "canvas" panel on the left holds email elements that you drag from a list on the right side. Here is what it will look like after a number of elements have been dragged over:
There are 14 elements on the right:
1 column, plain text
2 columns, plain text
2 columns, text right of image
2 columns, image above text
2 columns, text left of image
"Hero" section (image above text)
Image Group
Link or Button
You can drag one or more elements into the canvas for editing. It's also easy to reorder elements by dragging them up or down. Clicking an Edit icon displays an editor specifically for that type of panel. There is also a Copy icon to duplicate an element and a Delete icon to remove an element and its contents. Elements can be styled at any time as well, including borders, fonts, backgrounds, alignment, and line height. Images can be inserted from your photo library or the website graphics library; image properties can be modified at any time and large images will be resized automatically so that they appear at a reasonable size when the emailing is viewed.
The system still supports templates but the new drag-and-drop interface is used to create them. Templates can be dragged and inserted at any time and they will simply insert the template rows into the emailing. This powerful feature allows you to create your own panels or groups of panels that you use over and over again.
The Send Test function has also been improved to allow you to send test emails to multiple people.
When this updated interface is deployed, existing emailings and templates will be converted to the new model, with each emailing being saved to a single panel. If you copy an older emailing, it will be easy to rebuild it into separate sections using the appropriate element.
As part of the Internationalization project, many reports have been updated.
Reports that show financial amounts now list the currency in the report header.
Report dates and numbers are now formatted based on the user's preference, as specified in their browser.
Invoices have been updated as well.
The Blogs module has been internationalized. It will now show date and time formats in the correct format, and will accept international characters in blog posts.
The new member notification email to the Member Director now includes Country.
Clubs and associations outside the US will no longer see the Bank Account Setup and Bank Account Activity options on the Control Panel - Money tab. Instead, they will see a new "ClubExpress Charges" option to list charges processed through their credit cards. Also for clubs and associations outside the US, the Bank Account field no longer appears on the Financial Account Add/Edit screen.
It is important to point out that the appearance of dates, times, and numbers for international users depends on how their browser is configured and not on the operating system configuration.
Previously, ClubExpress only supported sales tax in the E-Commerce Storefront module, and then only based on the US model where sales tax is added to the purchase price.
Now, ClubExpress supports taxes in other parts of the system, including:
E-Commerce Storefront (as before)
We also support different kinds of tax. The name is chosen automatically based on the country where your association is based, between Sales Tax, VAT, GST, etc. And outside the US, when VAT or GST is used, the tax is hidden but it is tracked separately from the purchase price. For example, if a 5% tax is applied to a sweatshirt purchase of $20, a user in the US would see a $20 line item and a separate $1 sales tax item. A user outside the US will see just the $20 line item, but behind the scenes, we record the purchase price as $20 and separately record a tax (whatever it's called) of $1. New reports are available (in the Member/User Transactions report group) to help clubs determine how much tax they have collected for accounting purposes and to make accurate payments to local taxing authorities.
There is a new Tax Rates manager on the Control Panel - Money tab - Setup section. It allows you to name and define any number of tax rates. You can then use these rates anywhere in the system where a tax might be applied. On the Money Options screen, clubs can now specify a default rate and whether taxes should be charged (and in the US, the option is to charge taxes to everyone or to residents of the home state only.)
For memberships, the tax rate is specified on the People Options screen, since it would apply to all member types. For Additional Charges, the tax rate is specified on each charge since it might be different for different types of charges.
As other parts of the platform are updated, this tax enhancement will be added where appropriate. For example, we're currently working on a major update to the Event Calendar and, when it's deployed later this month, it will have tax support as well.
Photos and Photo Albums have now been fully subgroup enabled. Both photos and photo albums can be linked to a subgroup (chapter, district, region, etc.)
Users can filter photo albums by subgroup on the Photo Albums screen.
Administrators or module coordinators:
Can view any photo in the Photos Manager, including filtering by any subgroup.
Can optionally upload a photo into any subgroup.
Can assign an already-uploaded photo to any subgroup provided that it has not already been assigned.
Can view any photo album in the Photo Album Manager, including filtering by any subgroup.
Can create a photo album for any subgroup but then can only select photos belonging to that subgroup or one lower in the hierarchy.
When using the Member Manager to access photo albums belonging to a member, the same limitations apply as if the member had done it him/herself.
When using the advanced content editor:
When they select a photo to place on the page, the subgroup filter is available to limit the view just to photos belonging to a specific subgroup.
The Insert Link function shows all photo albums.
The Insert Slideshow Widget shows all photo albums.
Subgroup administrators:
In the Photos Manager, can only view photos belonging to a subgroup that they administer.
Can upload photos but must assign them to a subgroup that they administer.
In the Photo Album Manager, can only view photo albums belonging to a subgroup that they administer.
When they create a photo album, they must assign it to a subgroup and they can only add photos belonging to that subgroup or one lower in the hierarchy.
When using the Member Manager to access photo albums belonging to a subgroup member, the same limitations apply as if the member had done it him/herself.
When they select a photo to place on the page, the subgroup filter is available but they will only see subgroups that they administer.
The Insert Link function only shows photo albums over which they have admin rights.
The Insert Slideshow Widget only shows photo albums over which they have admin rights.
When they create an album and upload photos to it, they have the option to assign that album to a subgroup that they are a member of; the photos will then be assigned to that subgroup automatically. If they don't belong to a subgroup or if they don't choose a subgroup, the photos and albums are assigned to the member only.
We have also added a feature that allows clubs and associations with subgroups to set up a template sub-website, and then to copy this template for each subgroup as it's created. This feature makes it easy to set up a sub-website within the main site for each subgroup.
The template can include any number of custom web pages but it can also include links to the event calendar, member directory, business directory or photo album index modules, and the system will adjust these links automatically to show only events, members, businesses, or photo albums respectively, linked to that subgroup. It can also include replaceable parameters such as the subgroup name and number, the subgroup administrator's name and contact information, and an external website address. These will be replaced automatically with their actual values for that subgroup when a copy is made.
The copy process also assigns the specified template "landing" page to be the landing page in the Chapter Finder module for that subgroup, and assigns the subgroup administrator to be an administrator for any custom web pages in the copy.
When you enable this feature, you will configure the template category and destination category within Custom Web Pages, as well as the page within the template that serves as the Landing page. A new "Generate Custom Pages" link will appear as an option for each subgroup in the Organization Data Manager.
On the Non-Member Database screen, the system used to feature a "Non-Member Categories" button, allowing you to define categories into which non-members could be assigned. This button has been replaced by "Mailing List Categories", which apply to both members and non-members. Mailing List Categories are now specified on the Control Panel - Communications tab - Setup section. More importantly, you can now assign members to these categories manually (for example, someone could be a member but also a reporter assigned to a "Press" category.) And even more importantly, if you define a custom mailing list category on an event, donation fund, ad hoc form, storefront product, or resource, both members and non-members will be assigned to this category when they register for the event, donate into that fund, complete that form, purchase that product, or reserve that resource. The system includes a data export with a mailing list category filter, and an emailing distribution list to send emails to everyone in that category, member and non-member.
We have changed how browsers handle PDF files. When you click a PDF link, the file will now be displayed in the browser instead of being downloaded.
We have made some internal changes to improve email deliverability, especially to AOL and Comcast accounts that were having intermittent problems.
We also note that with recent updates to Gmail, users may see email from the club, sent by ClubExpress, posted into their Updates folder. We have no control over this but Google seems to consistently interpret such emails as "updates".
The following bugs were fixed in the past 3 months:
With the new Date of Birth feature, the system was not properly synchronizing the display between a member's Contact Info and Directory screens. For a short time, there was also a problem where a Required Birthday was not being saved properly for new member signups.
The "Print Invoice (PDF)" button on the Pending Payment page was not working correctly for non-admins. Also, the Printed Invoice was not correctly inserting the club's public name at the bottom of the invoice. Finally, on the Pending Payment page, we fixed a problem where a background color or watermark image would bleed through the page.
The Display Sequence standard dialog was not scrolling automatically when an item was moved above or below the ones shown in the window.
In the Volunteering module, there was an issue with the Hours Detail report.
In the Resource Scheduling module, when an admin overrode a reservation, the system was adding 15 minutes to the reservation's duration.
The Business Directory had the following problems:
One of the directory reports was including Dropped Members.
After an admin updated a member's info, clicking Save returned the admin to his or her Profile screen instead of the member's.
There was an internationalization issue with the Country and State fields.
Social Networking links, when deleted, were not actually deleted.
The Contact Us page was not correctly displaying international characters.
In the member signup and renewal wizards, on the Additional Charges page, if the amount of an adjustable charge was paid, then user moved to the Next wizard page, then Back to the Additional Charges page, the system was multiplying the amount by 100.
The Event Calendar had the following problems:
For multi-activity/item Events, the item quantity was not reflected in the "Attendee" list or the Registration Details popup.
The "Members pay for their own charges" option was not being saved correctly.
If a single activity or item in a multi-activity event cost more than $1000, the accordion controls to expand and collapse the list of activities/items did not work.
When viewing the event calendar in the ClubExpress Mobile App, the clock icon was appearing for listed Holidays (which are not actual events.)
Under Additional Member Data questions, when a member question was set up to be visible to the member, but editable only by the admin, we display it on the questions page disabled (read-only). The member can see it, but can't change it. The problem was, when we saved the questions, answers for read-only date, integer, and number questions were getting removed. This did not affect other question types. It occurred in the wizard, or when editing from the profile.
Transaction confirmation emails were including a note amount Amex payments, even if Amex had ben disabled,
In the Interests module, the count of members was showing more than just Active members. also, the Emailing function was sending emails to more than just Active members.
In the E-Commerce Storefront module, after some other changes had been made, the product order popup was not displaying the item cost correctly. Also in the Storefront, if the specified Starting Page had not been enabled, the module would crash.
In the Classified Ads and Jobs Board modules, there was a problem with paging.
In the member Contact Info screen, where people join through their business/professional lives, and after a recent change, the "Home Phone" field was being displayed and it should not have been. Also the contents of this field were being saved in the wrong place.
For clubs and associations where Trial members are not allowed to access the website, there was a problem when a new trial member signed up, the system was generating an error after they submitted the final button in the New Member Signup Wizard. Also, in some configurations, Trial members were able to log in and access content reserved for full members.
For organizations that do not accept credit cards, we were showing the Credit Card option on a member's Profile screen.
In the Discussion Forums module, there was a problem with listserver (email-based) forums where an admin tried to change the domain name that the forum uses for its email address.
Also in Discussion Forums, moving a reply to a message to a new thread was flagging the user as "Unknown".
In the Ad Hoc Forms module, there was a problem if non-members tried to jump to a form from an email-based link.
Expiring a coordinator and moving him or her to the non-member database left them in the coordinator list and website security reports.
On the Club Name and Description pages, after recent internationalization changes, there was a problem synchronizing between addresses.
When a new member entered their address, or an existing member edited it, when the country and/or state are changed, the system automatically changes the timezone. The member can then change it if we get it wrong, but we always do the automatic change. However, when a club had a default state specified for new members, and the new member didn't change the state, the timezone was not getting set automatically.
When a member signs up and has not yet paid, they have a status of Pending. If they log in, they can't do anything until payment is made. However, if the membership included secondary members, these members were able to login and go anywhere in the site.
Canceling a pending renewal payment was not correctly adjusting the expiration dates for secondary and tertiary members attached to the membership.
Again, all of these problems have been fixed.

The Elliott Wave Prophet indicator is essentially an innovative algorithm designed to assist traders in conducting wave analysis. Also, the indicator to a certain extent is able to predict further price movement, based on already formed waves.
What is even easier? A clear strategy enabling each investor to receive a stable profit. In this case, it is not so simple to determine the exact low or high in practice. To determine the potential of a given level, as well as its ability to act as an important level (support or resistance) and thereby realize areas of local peaks or troughs, market players use a wide variety of technical analysis tools.
Some of these tools in mastering are very simple and do not require any special skills from the user. Others demand that they be given special attention, both during the study and in the further application in practice.
To save a lot of precious time, the trader during automatic calculations when performing all the necessary tasks, apply special technical indicators that greatly simplify the processes of those. analysis in MT4 and MT5. Just the indicator Elliott Wave Prophet and refers to the number of these algorithms.
This algorithm is noteworthy in that it makes it possible not only to analyze the movements that have already occurred, but also to anticipate the market direction through a method proposed in due time by Nelson Elliott.

Q: ASP.NET Code Access Security - System.Net.SocketPermission I am working in ASP.net 4.0 and this program is designed to read an email off the pop3.mail.com server.
Error Code:

Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.SocketPermission, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

Other email programs like Pop3Client and OpenPop.dll do not work with ASP.net 4.0.
This program may work in 4.0 because there are no external dll programs attached to it.
Code:
Protected Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    Try
        Dim tcpclient As New TcpClient()

        sslstream.AuthenticateAsClient("pop3.mail.com")
        Dim sw As System.IO.StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(sslstream)
        Dim reader As System.IO.StreamReader = New StreamReader(sslstream)

        End While
        TextBox1.Text = str
    Catch ex As Exception
        Response.Write(ex.Message)
    End Try
End Sub

A:
Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.SocketPermission, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

I'll assume this is related to usage in ASP.Net context. If so,

*

*If this is on a shared hosting environment, it's likely (check) that your hosting provider will have ASP.Net trust level set to medium trust

*while doing dev, on your local machine, you're doing so in full trust. If you set your ASP.Net locally to medium trust, you should be able to reproduce the error in your local dev environment to confirm.
This difference matters. Refer to this MSDN doc - the table will be helpful. You will see that System.Net.SocketPermission in Medium Trust has No permission.

Korea's Candlelight Revolution and Participatory Democracy
Lee Taeho 1 (Korea)
Chair, Policy Committee, People's Solidarity for Participatory Democracy (PSPD) / ALFP 2016 Fellow
Former President Park Geun-hye was found guilty and sentenced to 24 years in jail, but it was the citizens of Korea whose massive candlelight rallies in October 2016–March 2017 turned public opinion.
Candlelight Rallies (October 2016–March 2017)
The dramatic demonstration of people power on the streets, called the "Candlelight Revolution," was sparked off by President Park's abuse of power and corruption. She had shared classified information on state affairs with her close confidantes, including Ms. Choi Soon-sil, and she is alleged to have taken bribes from conglomerates, advancing her private interests, and also abused power by oppressing people critical of her government through the mobilization of state power.
The number of protesters rose rapidly since the first candlelight vigil on October 29, 2016, and exceeded 2 million in Seoul alone in early December that year. Caving in to mounting pressure from citizens, the National Assembly passed an impeachment motion against President Park Geun-hye in which 234 of the 300 lawmakers in the National Assembly (78%) voted in favor of impeachment. Pending the final decision by the Constitutional Court, the mass rallies lasted throughout the winter and the court finally upheld the motion to impeach the president unanimously on March 11, 2017. She was sentenced on April 6, 2018, to 24 years in prison.
Participants of the Candlelight Rallies (October 2016-March 2017)
Later that year, in early presidential elections on May 9, 2017, Moon Jae-in, the candidate of the main opposition party, won the election. That was the last part of the first phase of the Candlelight Revolution.
More than 2,300 civic groups in 70 cities joined the Emergency Citizen Action for Park Geun-hye's Resignation (called the Emergency Citizen Action) which led the weekly candlelight rallies. The Emergency Citizen Action estimated that more than 16 million people cumulatively took to the streets during the period.
Who Were "We"?
We have to be careful in defining the main players and the characteristics of this eruption of civic activism. So many people joined in, and were sympathetic to it, that it is difficult to pinpoint the protagonists.
The civic groups that joined the Emergency Citizen Action were largely progressive or reformist in nature. However, according to the results of a survey, 32.8% of respondents said they participated in the rally and a whopping 39% identified themselves as progressives, but not a small percentage of respondents labeled themselves as centrists (19.4%) or conservatives (17.3%).2
On the other hand, opinion polls revealed as much as 70%–80% of respondents favored the impeachment. A similar percentage (78%) of lawmakers at the National Assembly voted in favor of impeachment.
Members of conventional social movement organizations or groups made up only a small proportion of the people who filled the Plaza. A majority of protesters were voluntary participants. However, they could not be dubbed as the unorganized masses. They formed a variety of networks via social media and used the Plaza as a place to meet. Some of the groups just gathered spontaneously on the Plaza. Street musicians' bands came together, and anybody who could play an instrument played it and sang together till late into the night.
Those Who Are Not "All Right"
The huge turnout was an indication that the participants felt that they had to be there for justice reform that would affect their lives—regardless of their political orientation.
The people were outraged by the Park Geun-hye/Choi Soon-sil scandal because it indicated that the political system was flawed and was full of special privileges, irregularities, and inequalities. It did not have the public good as a priority, the malfunctioning old politics prevailed, and this fueled the anger on the streets. There were many grievances: extreme economic polarization, declining birth rates and an aging population, degradation to non-regular workers and youth unemployment, household debts hitting the limit, a shrinking job market despite the toughest competition for college entrance in the world, and the highest suicide rate in the world. All these combined to kindle the candles in the streets.
The tragedy of the Sewol ferry disaster deserves special mention as one of the driving forces of the Candlelight Revolution. The disaster occurred on April 16 in 2014 and has been the most important keyword 3 for the last three years in Korea. Its impact on Korea was as tremendous as the Fukushima nuclear disaster's impact on Japan.
People at the candlelight rally were questioning "Is this a country?" and those sighing "There was no country" after the ferry disaster expressed exactly the same indignation and sense of crisis. The question "What the country means to me?" was posed in despair. That sense of despair about the fate and future of the country (which young people call "Hell Joseon") was a dominant question echoing on the streets.
The Candlelight Revolution showed the dynamism of civil society and the tradition of participatory democracy in Korea, but at the same time it exposed the crisis that representative democracy was facing. Civil uprisings that have erupted at every crucial moment of Korean history and massive voluntary candlelight rallies that have taken place periodically in 2002, 2004, 2008, and 2016 are closely related to the failure of Korean politics to respond to public opinion and solve problems through political action.
Newly Discovered Democracy
A significant change during the Candlelight Revolution period was that the fantasy about the Park Chung-hee era (dominated by the doctrine of developmental dictatorship) was finally shattered as the details of influence-peddling by Park Geun-hye/Choi Soon-il became public. Henceforth, it will be increasingly difficult for future governments to scapegoat and subordinate individuals for the sake of "national interest" or "national security."
Political and social conditions are now ripe to re-design a new Korea. Obviously, "democracy" which had been treated as an outdated term is receiving attention again thanks to candle-carrying citizens at the Plaza. Awareness has been raised that if participatory democracy does not take root via citizens' pro-active involvement, the people's livelihoods and welfare cannot be guaranteed and special privileges and irregularities will be rampant. Citizens have regained confidence that they can change the world on their own and confirmed that their participation leads to changes in politics and social structure.4
The experience and recognition of Korea's Candlelight Revolution is a lesson for people all over the world that peaceful street action by citizens can still lead to justice and political reform, despite neo-liberalism and regression in many parts of the world.

On the Edge is a good book for readers aged eleven to fifteen years.
In this story twelve-year old Brady has to overcome his fear of heights, as the school has got a new climbing wall. Unfortunately for him, he gets dizzy two rungs up a ladder, and with Stan Mackersley, the school bully, watching him it gets a lot harder. If he has trouble doing that, then what will happen when there's a bigger challenge facing him?
What I liked about On the Edge, was every problem had a reasonable solution and I liked that there was nothing that didn't make sense. And I found no spelling or grammar mistakes either.
What I didn't like so much was that as soon as one problem had a solution, another problem occurred. This happens five times in a row, which makes six problems and most stories only have two to four.
It is an attractive-looking book with a good colourful cover.
I really liked this book but would recommend it to slightly older kids than I am (10). Though it's about a boy, two other main characters are girls, and girl readers will like the book too.

Q: HTML, JQuery seporation of loading divs I currently have a page that loads slow and would like to make the user experience more enjoyable.  I would like to load each div so when a div is read() fade in using jQuery.  Currently my code works but it loads everything at the same time and fades in.  I would like it to load in order of div placement.  Below is an example code of loading 2 divs with large tables in them.  I would like each table to show up as soon as it's ready.  The first one should be ready before the second one and it should render first.  I have tried to separate the js so that each has their own ready() but that didn't work.
Also:  I am more    looking for a consent on how to do this rather than the specific code.  What if I have a lot of divs with a lot of different tables.   Not every div will have a table in it.  some might have pictures or just text. There should be a way to load each div whenever it's ready to be displayed.

A: I think what you need here is to provide you DataTables with an AJAX source, which will retrieve your data. Then set a callback that will fire when the data has been loaded to fadeIn your tables.
It might look something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#myTable1').dataTable( {
        "ajax"{
            "url": 'path/to/datasource.php',
            "success" : function(){
                 $('#myTable1').parent().fadeIn(1000);
             }
         }
    } );
} );

This is untested code and the syntax may be wrong, but it should give you an idea of how this is done. Also, the returned data from your php datasource must return json in the correct format DataTables is expecting (this is very important, and is often where people make mistakes).
Please see the DataTables ajax docs here.

A: the problem is not about what type of data it need to display, but rather you should limit amount of data display each time, and separate the server side, from client side, so it will reduce load on browser,  the code below is untested, prob lot of syntax error @_@
PHP
<?php
 // you can manual hard code the data, or use database, it really didn't matter what the data are it can be path of image, text, etc...
 var $textData = array(); // eg ('text1','text2')
 var $imgData = array(); // eg ('path/img.jpg', 'path/img.jpg')
 var $divData = array(); // eg ('

')

 // see what data set you want to get
 if($_POST['type']==='text') {
     // now encode the data into json for ajax
     echo json_encode($textData);
 } else if($_POST['type']==='img') {
     echo json_encode($imgData);
 }

While in England and meeting with William Penn, it was agreed Marie Ferree would receive a land grant in Pennsylvania. In early 1712 the Ferree family left New Paltz, New York, where they had been staying since their arrival in America, and traveled to Philadelphia to present their papers to Penn's agents and claim their land. On September 10, 1712, 2000 acres of land was granted and confirmed to Daniel Ferree and Isaac Lefever for the consideration of 140 pounds plus 10 pounds interest. This was done with the understanding that the land was intended for use of the whole family and would be divided among the family members with each paying their proportionate part of the purchase price. On November 7, 1712, a year's quitrent was paid and a receipt issued in the name of Marie Warenbur. However, legally, she never owned any ground in Pennsylvania although the land has always been known as the "Marie Ferree Tract".
In dividing and surveying the land, it was discovered the grant actually contained 2300 acres. This was taken up with the proper authorities and it was agreed the Ferrees could retain the extra acres for an additional 21 pounds. The original land patent was surrendered and on October 29, 1734, was reissued increasing the acreage to 2300 plus an allowance of 138 acres for roads.

Black and African-American Quotes
Dream on baby, don't dream on what you can have, dream about what the devil says you can't have. Dream for the best. Dream for the best healing. Dream for the best deliverance, dream for the best house. Dream for the best car, just 'cause the world don't have it doesn't mean you can't have it.
Creflo Dollar on dreaming for the "impossible"

Quote by Creflo Dollar
So we mustn't run out of steam. Sometimes young women think 'Dammnnn, I've been doing this nine years and I don't think anything has budged.' But keep plugging away. Nothing succeeds like success. Get a little success and then just get a little more.
Dreams are lovely. But they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It's hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change.
They tell you: Follow your dreams. Listen to your spirit. Change the world. Make your mark. Find your inner voice and make it sing. Embrace failure. Dream. Dream and dream big. As a matter of fact, dream and don't stop dreaming until all of your dreams come true. I think that's crap.
I had a mom who told me from the very beginning that you can do or be anything you dream to and I believed it.
Chris Gardner
I want people to remember me the way they know Nike, that level of impact.
Dreams do come true, but not without the help of others, a good education, a strong work ethic, and the courage to lean in.
Ursula Burns
I have found that when preparation meets opportunity, nothing is out of reach.

You need to have tunnel vision when chasing your goal.
With Obama, the glass ceiling has been broken with what men can aspire to, and now we need to do the same for women and what women can aspire to.
You cannot stop me from dreaming. I'm gon' dream until Jesus comes.
I don't want to be good at it, I don't want to be pretty good at it, I want to be world class at it.
You can dream your life away or actually do what you dream of doing.

The Girls are Never Gone by Sarah Glenn Marsh

Sarah Glenn Marsh's Website
Dare Chase doesn't believe in ghosts.
Privately, she's a supernatural skeptic. But publicly, she's keeping her doubts to herself—because she's the voice of Attachments, her brand-new paranormal investigation podcast, and she needs her ghost-loving listeners to tune in.
That's what brings her to Arrington Estate. Thirty years ago, teenager Atheleen Bell drowned in Arrington's lake, and legend says her spirit haunts the estate. Dare's more interested in the suspicious circumstances surrounding her death—circumstances that she believes point to a living culprit, not the supernatural. Still, she's vowed to keep an open mind as she investigates, even if she's pretty sure what she'll find.
But Arrington is full of surprises. Good ones like Quinn, the cute daughter of the house's new owner. And baffling ones like the threatening messages left scrawled in paint on Quinn's walls, the ghastly face that appears behind Dare's own in the mirror, and the unnatural current that nearly drowns their friend Holly in the lake. As Dare is drawn deeper into the mysteries of Arrington, she'll have to rethink the boundaries of what is possible. Because if something is lurking in the lake... it might not be willing to let her go. From The StoryGraph.

I had been anticipating The Girls are Never Gone by Sarah Glenn Marsh since I first heard about it. It sounded terrifying, and right up my street! I mean, look at that cover! However, it was a major disappointment.
Dare has just split up from her boyfriend, who she ran Strange Virginia with, a YouTube ghost hunting channel. She's now decided to go it alone with a podcast, Attachments, after receiving a comment about strange happenings on Arrington Estate, and the suspicious death of Atheleen Bell, who used to live there. She manages to get herself an internship with a company renovating the house to turn it into a museum. She's determined to figure out what happened to Atheleen, and to debunk the hauntings. While she can't deny things are happening, she knows there's a reasonable explanation for them all. But as the strange things build up and get more dangerous, she'll have to face that maybe there is something more going on.
The Girls are Never Gone has everything you would want from a horror story. A haunted house full of weirdness. Writing painted on the walls. A girl appearing alongside Dare in the mirror. A creepy doll. Bells from the old call box ringing when their wires have been cut. Footsteps heard and doors opening, but no-one appearing. And so on. It has absolutely everything! Except atmosphere. There was never any real build up of tension and a creepy atmosphere. I think part of this might be down to Dare herself. While she's been ghost hunting for years, she doesn't actually believe in the paranormal. She knows there are reasonable explanations for things, because she's seen them before. So while she'll feel scared initially, she would immediately come up with several possibilities to explain what is happening. And it's not in the way you expect, she's not trying to convince herself that nothing scary is actually happening, that the house isn't haunted, to try and calm herself down. She's already convinced. I found it quite amusing at first, but when she absolutely refuses to believe anything supernatural is going on, even when it's staring her right in the face, and she's narrating in first person, it's hard to get worked up about it all yourself.
Then there's the characters themselves. They just didn't work for me. They never once felt natural. The way they reacted to absolutely anything - not just the haunting - was so over dramatic. They just felt really clunky the entire time. The romance wasn't believable for me because it seemed based on nothing. Dare's reactions to being around Quinn were just too much - which I know sounds like a weird thing to say, because when you're really into someone blushing and overthinking things is kind of expected, but again, it didn't feel natural. I didn't believe the friendships, either. I found them all so frustrating and unrealistic.
I did love the diversity in the book, though. Dare is bisexual, and has Type 1 Diabetes. I've never read a book where someone has Type 1 Diabetes before. It was fascinating to see how Dare lived with it, the everyday aspects of her life - having an insulin pump, checking her levels, having a service dog, having to inject herself when her pump dies. But it wasn't a story about being a diabetic; Dare is a ghost hunter, she's a junior, she's diabetic. It's part of her life, but it's not who she is. And Quinn is a lesbian, and biracial; half white, and half Puerto Rican.
But overall, I wasn't a fan of The Girls are Never Gone. That being said, many others have really enjoyed it, so do check out some other reviews before deciding whether or not to read it.

Q: In CUDA's PTX file, what is the purpose of the ".file" directive? From what I understand, CUDA's PTX file is the virtual bytecode that is JIT compiled by the device runtime. This means that the file is cross platform, you can generate the PTX file and it will run on any CUDA compatible device. However, when I read the file in a text editor, I see these directives ".file" which have information about files on the original computer I compiled it for. So I am unsure what the purpose of these directives are. Also, given that my generated PTX files shouldn't be dependent on these files, can these safely be removed? (Like if I wanted to start writing my own PTX generator).

A: If you inspect the body of your functions, you will most likely find instructions of form
.loc fileNum fileLine
This indicates, that the following code was generated from a line fileLine from file fileNum. The fileNum is an index integer naming a file predeclared by the .file directive you are asking.
This can help you correlate your source code with the produced PTX output.
During JIT compilation PTX is converted into a native GPU machine code. There, those .loc and .file does not appear at all. It has absolutely no impact on the final machine code.

The Krotons - Original Soundtrack CD
BRIAN HODGSON - DOCTOR WHO: THE KROTONS
Generating and manipulating music and sound effects defines sound design, a process that is common on TV and film productions nowadays. However The BBC Radiophonic Workshop was way ahead of the game in the 1960s. Brian Hodgson was a member of the Workshop working closely with the seminal figure of Delia Derbyshire. As the original sound effects creator for Doctor Who he was responsible for the chilling Dalek voices and the powerhouse sound of the Tardis lifting off (created by running a back door key for his mother's house along the bass string of a gutted piano and treating it electronically). His highly innovative techniques are fully on display on this collection of 'special sounds' that provided the background to Doctor Who - The Krotons, broadcast in December 1968/January 1969.

Eyes: Windows to the cardiovascular system
Caitlin VanOverberghe Apr 13, 2020
Ophthalmologists and optometrists have a unique perspective on a patient's cardiovascular system because the eye is the only place in the body where doctors get a glimpse of the health of a patient's blood vessels without the use of imaging technology.
Issues with the blood vessels in the eye typically indicate an issue that runs throughout the body, including both known and unknown ailments.
Melanie Pickett, OD, a member of the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology faculty, said ophthalmologists and optometrists are trained to exam the eye's blood vessels as well as its other major structures, such as the retina, cornea and tissues.
They might notice, for example, a buildup of cholesterol in the cornea, Pickett said. Within the cornea, cholesterol doesn't pose a threat to the patient's health; but it can be an indication of high cholesterol and buildups in other areas of the body—increasing the patient's risk of heart attack and stroke.
Eyes can also reveal blood clots, leaks and hypertension. If those conditions are affecting the blood vessels of the eyes, they're affecting the rest of the body, Pickett said.
Ophthalmologists and optometrists who discover these conditions in their patients will refer them to primary-care doctors or specialists who can properly treat or monitor the disorders, she said.
Many blindness-causing eye diseases are tied to the cardiovascular system, as well.
For example, retinal vascular occlusion is caused by a blockage in a vein of the retina. Wet macular degeneration occurs when abnormal blood vessels leak fluid into the retina causing blurry vision and blind spots. One of the leading factors of blindness is diabetic retinopathy, a series of complications of diabetes in which abnormal blood sugar levels cause damage to the blood vessels in the retina over time. As the diabetic blood vessels become less healthy, they can leak and grow abnormal new blood vessels, compromising vision and potentially causing blindness.

Owen Hargreaves may have played his last game for Manchester United. The club's manager, Sir Alex Ferguson, said on Friday that the midfielder almost certainly will not be fit before the end of the season.
The England international has endured chronic injury problems since his arrival from Bayern Munich in 2007. Although he was a member of United's Premier League and Champions League-winning squads in his debut season, he had to battle through major tendinitis problems in both knees, which eventually required surgery. Hargreaves managed only seconds on the field last season and he lasted just five minutes of a surprise start against Wolves at Old Trafford this year, before pulling his hamstring. Now the 30-year-old has sustained a shoulder injury from which Ferguson does not believe he will recover. Hargreaves' contract is due to expire in the summer.
Hargreaves was never going to be in contention for Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City at Wembley. Wayne Rooney and Jonny Evans are both missing through suspension and Ferguson said that the Scotland midfielder Darren Fletcher was still a couple of weeks away from returning to the team – a chronic virus has kept him out since the defeat at Liverpool on 6 March.
Ferguson otherwise has a fit squad for one of the most significant derbies in recent memory, with the midfielder Anderson pushing for a start after coming through a midweek reserve-team match.

Business leaders and economists are voicing concern about religious intolerance in India, arguing "fraught sociopolitical landscape is making it less conducive to international business". Infosys founder N.R. Narayana Murthy said there is "considerable fear" among the minorities in India. Reserve Bank of India Governor Raghuram Rajan called for tolerance and respect for economic progress while criticising the growing tendency to ban unpalatable views, delicately yet forcefully wading into the raging debate over rising intolerance in society.
They say India's growing hostility towards minorities will decrease its attractiveness as a business destination...The growing intolerance "creates a kind of concern about investing in a country," said Shaw, the chairman and managing director of Indian biotechnology company Biocon...Murthy, the billionaire founder of IT company Infosys, had said earlier in an interview with Indian news channel NDTV that there is "considerable fear" among minorities in India that must be resolved to preserve the economy.
What about the business of tolerance?
A fair workplace and good corporate governance depend on how tolerant business leaders are to criticism and dissent...[H]...ow much space businesses have for employees to fearlessly articulate their thoughts and opinions without having to face punitive repercussions...How often do we see a culture in any business organization where minority groups that are adversely impacted by a policy can fearlessly engage their business leadership? Intolerance to the concerns of minority groups is what drove employees about 150 years ago to find safety in numbers—trade unions. We know that the law forbids having employees work more than nine hours in a day and 48 hours in a week. Yet, in most organizations that do not have trade unions, employees are required to work much longer...the first step is initiating a public debate on the current culture in business organizations, especially the role that the independent board members are required to play, to make business establishments more tolerant.
...India is an attractive destination for economic investment as it has a population that is diverse in its skills. Yet, with Hindu nationalists curtailing the freedom of those who do not share their ideology that rich diversity is reduced and negatively impacts businesses and investment...If the image of the country is negatively impacted then there will be subsequent effects on economic growth. We have seen Moody's Analytics call for Modi to rein in and tone down the rhetoric from Hindu nationalists. This is because the credibility of India's financial sector would be aversely affected.
The voices asserting the citizen's right to question authority and the need to preserve India's plural traditions got a booster shot on Saturday when President Pranab Mukherjee and Reserve Bank of India governor Raghuram Rajan, along with Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy, decided to express their concerns as well....Rajan made a strong pitch for greater tolerance and respect for opposing viewpoints while criticising the growing tendency to ban unpalatable views, delicately yet forcefully wading into the raging debate over rising intolerance in society.
