Q: Expandable custom- UITableViewCell from NIB I need to create expandable-cell form nib. It looks fine if dimenssions of cell in my tableview are equal to the dimensions of custom-cell nib. But when i'm trying to change height of custom cell to make it smaller it looks like this:

Can you give me some advices how can i make expand/collapse custom table cell from nib and avoid this effect?
UPD: I have heightForRowAtIndexPath implemented and it works fine. The base problem that all outlets that should be visible only when the cell is expanded are visible over all tableview    for all cells when there are collapsed

A: I found the solution and it's very simple. I just need to set "Clip SubViews" property of my custom-cell in the Interface Builder.

A: Look at the heightForRowAtIndexPath datasourse method. It can be looking like this:
- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    if (expandableCell)
        return 20.0f;
    return 44.0f;
}

I'm watching The Golden Hour on ITV. And I'm bored.
Becky's stuck offline for now – but still trying to get back on, so I've hardly anyone to talk to, and I'm also tired.
This morning, I was at an Asbestos Awareness seminar in the Waterfront Hall. The amount of stuff that contained Asbestos, which was only finally banned in the UK in 1999 (Chrysotile, or white asbestos – all the other types of asbestos were banned in 1985) is scary. Canada still mines it, and the guy who did the seminar told us he believes it is still exported to the Third World. Scary.
So in a few weeks, I'll get a wee CD-ROM which also works as an ID card to prove I've done the seminar. Another piece of plastic to keep me going!
In other news, I found out today that I've got through to the next round of the EOII promotion process – I got 23 out of 30. Not bad considering that the second half of the test was fairly subjective (I answered as I've been treated in recent years, or would like to have been treated)… but the job hunt still goes on.
I'll call Becky in an hour or so. Maybe sooner, I'm that tired.
And I will put up a photo of her on the net. Soon.

One thing a web site operator can do about this problem, is to automatically identify these users whenever they visit his web site (which presumably is IPv4-only at that point), and display a warning of some kind that informs the users that they have a problem, and preferably how to fix it, too. That way, when the site is finally dual-stacked, the users will have had ample warning.
It is also useful to warn broken users in this way even after the site has been dual-stacked, as they will in most cases be able to load a dual-stacked page if they are patient enough to endure an initial connection timeout over IPv6.
A much more comprehensive (and probably better) solution for testing the user's IPv6 connectivity is available from falling-sky, the open-source variant of Jason Fesler's test-ipv6.com.
Add this code near the bottom of your HTML pages. It should work as-is, but see below for some more discussion about how to adapt it better to your site.
You should make sure to use different hostnames for each URL, preferably pointing to different IP addresses. This prevents browsers from doing clever optimisations which could trick the test.
The timeout setting should be higher than the time required by a normal client to load the test images, but lower than the systemic connect() timeout of the common operating systems. The lowest such timeout is, to the best of my knowledge, 21 seconds (Microsoft Windows).
You can also modify the number of test elements loaded if you feel that six of them makes the test too heavy-weight. I would not go below one ipv4-only PNG though, because otherwise you might be testing whether or not the machine that hosts the test elements is up or not; or below two dual-stacked PNGs, because a single load failure could be caused by a number of unrelated things, such as the user having a congested Internet connection.
The code was written by me, Tore Anderson, and is released into the public domain. Do with it what you wish.
Please add your site here if you add such a test, so that others can have a look at it for inspiration!


Home » How to play video poker?
Video poker is one of the most popular games in the casino and requires some skill to play. It is a game that bridges the gap between conventional table games and slot machines for loads of players. It is easy to understand and fun to play, however you still have the potential to increase your gains by putting the odds in your favor, making it an involving gaming experience. In a majority of casinos, the video poker machines would give a lower house edge as compared to the other slot machines if played correctly. When these video poker machines were newly introduced in the casinos, the only game to be played was "draw poker" or "jacks or better". In the present day, there are as many as 100 variations of the game and they could all be played online.
The machine would deal five cards on the screen and the player can take up to five additional cards.
The player can keep the cards by hitting the "hold" button, besides the corresponding card displayed.
As soon as the choice is made, the player can hit the deal button and the discarded cards would be replaced with newer ones.
The outcome of the game would be decided on the final hand chosen by the player. There is a pay table displayed besides each video poker machine which reflects the winnings after each hand.
The video poker machines are known to have better graphics and sound effects, which would create an exciting gaming experience.
One of the major advantages of video poker in comparison with for example online poker is that the player can calculate the return of the game by reading the pay table located at the front of the machine. Video poker games use the combinations of hands that made from a 52-card deck. There are several joker poker games which use one or two extra jokers. For an instance, deuces wild video poker variation uses deuces as jokers and hence there would be many more winning combinations. The payouts are worked out in accordance to what the machine pays for every winning combination, most machines do not offer progressive jackpots on the other hand. Progressive jackpots are still available in some gaming machines and their online progressive jackpot can be very high. There are as many as 2,598,960 possible hands in a 52-card deck. The video poker machines are programmed in such a way that they stimulate the odds of drawing any of such hand combinations. Since this is a set possibility, the online casino would simply adjust the pay table of these online machines, so as to develop a greater house edge. There are courses, books, software programs, online information sites and strategy cards which would help you get the payouts for every pay table. It is important to learn to read a pay table, since it would help you pick the machine with the best odds of success.
Ever since the casinos migrated online, there have been a growing number of people choosing to play online video poker. This strongly suggests that the game is very popular and has tremendous potential for huge profits. Online video poker is merely an internet-based adaptation of the conventional video poker machines that are often found in land-based casinos. There are more than 100 variations of Video poker out there, with draw poker the most common one.
As the name suggests, video poker is played over a platform that allows the player to communicate with the machine and the console represents the video presentation platform. Here, a hand is made out of five cards and the players often find it comfortable to play against the machine, rather than facing opponents in a table game or a dealer like in free blackjack. Just like the traditional poker game, the initial step in playing online video poker is the position of bets. Since this is a computerized form of poker, the betting would happen by putting money into the machine. If you're an Australian or just someone passing through, you'll love the casino online games that you can play at All Jackpots Casino. These games offer the best that there is in the Aussie market. You can play everything from blackjack and slots to poker and scratch card games.
The drawing of cards usually happens through a single click, which is labeled on the console. Cards would be drawn randomly, just like the other forms of poker. This is exactly where the strategy element would come into existence. Once you get the cards, it is up to the player to decide on which cards to hold and which ones to discard. Also, the player can draw up to five additional cards in each hand. The ultimate goal is to get the best possible combination, so as to emerge as a winner. The prizes are given to the hands that are usually higher than a pair of jacks.
Online poker happens over the internet; since there are no tangible video consoles present instead there is a virtual one. The hands would pictorially appear on the computer screen and the actions could be carried out through mouse clicks. Since the metal coins cannot be used here, the money for the bets would be transferred from the online casino accounts to purchase credits.
The beauty of online video poker machines lies in the flexibility that it offers. Since it is the man vs machine game, the player gets to choose the amount he wishes to bet, which can range from a nickel to $5. Just like all other online casino games, this one is pretty convenient and provides the same thrill as playing in traditional casinos. The video poker machines can be programmed in various different ways, however in its default state; it is programmed in such a way that a skillful player can get some rightful winnings. It can be very rewarding when you play online casino games.


While you certainly can install MkDocs on your host computer and use it with your WPLib Box project, hopefully you won't have to as we've implemented MkDocs within of WPLib Box.
MkDocs allows you to both dynamically serve documentation from Markdown files while you are writing your docs (just like you can dynamically serve PHP files from your web server), and then MkDocs allows you to build a static website from those Markdown files for hosting your docs on your web server.
MkDocs allows you to write rich documentation in Markdown — great for documenting reusable plugins and themes — that you can then version control!
in a root or subdirectory of your web server containing the HTML, CSS and images that comprise a static copy of your documentation.
reads the /mkdocs.yaml file which you can learn how to configure here.
If you use our chosen default material theme you can also learn to configure via customizations, extensions and a cheatsheet.
Our implementation of MkDocs follows WPLib Box's philosophy of containerization and is thus implemented with our own Docker container.
Our MkDocs command is itself is a Bash script which is designed to invoke the MkDocs container and that script can be found at /opt/box/bin/mkdocs after you vagrant ssh into WPLib Box.
Running mkdocs almost always starts mkdocs serve which is not particularly useful, especially if you are trying to run mkdocs --version or similar. We plan to fix this very soon.
Some commands may have issues. If you find this to be the case please contact our support to let us know so we can address sooner than later.


In 2013, blog author and security expert Bruce Schneier was invited by google to give a talk as part of the "Authors at Google" series. Under the title "Liars and Outliers", Schneier compared our use of technology and our relationship to tech companies to medieval feudalism, where the weak give up their rights for the promise to be protected by the powerful. He links this concept to the average user's inability to control their own devices, and to the power amassed by almost monopolist corporations and service providers.
"Surveillance is the business model of the internet." In the beginning oAf June 2013, Edward Snowden´s disclosures on the ubiquitous spying system of the NSA make global headlines. Two weeks later, Bruce Schneier, an internationally renowned security technologist and author, is giving this outstanding talk to Google engineers. They listen closely as Google is described as one of the "feudal security giants" of our time. They are not aware that Schneier was also one of the few citizens of the United States to be entrusted with the entire trove of Snowden´s documents. Glenn Greenwald had asked him to help out on technological details and secret service jargon.

Martin Powell-Davies - teacher trade unionist and socialist: Is the 'big crunch' inevitable?
I had to dash from debating "The Big Bang" with my Year 10s this morning to get to a meeting in Congress House to discuss the "Big Crunch" facing public sector budgets.
I Chair the SE Region TUC Public Services Commitee and hope that it can be a body that can help co-ordinate the united trade union action that will be needed to defend services, jobs and conditions.
Myself and the PCS delegates present, in particular, spoke about the need to combat the tone being set by the media and all the main parties that cuts were inevitable and needed to rescue the economy. But why should we have to pay for the mistakes made by the politicians and financiers?
We agreed that SERTUC should look at producing model leaflets to circulate to afiliated unions and hosting a reps conference in the New Year to start to bring together union reps to discuss how to fight the onslaught that is likely to follow the next General Election.

What Is the Procedure to Exchange Foreign Currency in India?
By Byevisa Visit India
Fortunately, if you're wondering how to exchange foreign currency in India, you'll be pleased to know that it's like in any other nation. You present a foreign currency and exchange this for Indian rupees (INR) or trade your INR for another currency. Different businesses offer different exchange rates and commission rates, so shop around before committing.
If you are a visitor to India, you will not be allowed to bring Indian currency into the country. This is due to strict anti-corruption laws and a black market of fake banknotes. Instead, you will need to travel to India with foreign currency and change it upon your arrival. Read on to learn more and, ahead of your trip, find out about acquiring your India eVisa too!
1 Do I Need ID to Exchange Currency in India?
2 Where to Exchange Currency in India
3 Which Bank Gives the Best Exchange Rates in India?
4 What Is the Best Place to Exchange Dollars for Rupees?
5 Can I Use an ATM in India?
6 More Currency of India Information
Do I Need ID to Exchange Currency in India?
Yes, if you wish to exchange currencies, you will be asked to provide ID. Under the regulations of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI), you will need at least 1 of the following documents:
An Indian passport.
An air ticket showing that you have travelled into India within the last 60 days or will be leaving within the same timeframe.
A PAN card.
An Indian driving license.
A Voter's ID.
An Aadhar card.
If you are not an Indian national, you are unlikely to have any of these forms of ID bar your travel tickets. When you exchange currencies, ensure these documents are on your person, either as a paper ticket or an official e-ticket accessible on your smartphone. Your request to change money will be rejected without this ID.
Where to Exchange Currency in India
3 types of business will exchange money in this country. Each of these has different policies surrounding exchanging funds.
1. Banks
Any bank that holds an AD-I licence, distributed by the RBI, is legally permitted to buy or sell foreign currency.
If you hope to change money in an Indian bank, you will need to hold an account with the branch. You will also need to provide the ID discussed above.
Be aware, banks in the country rarely offer competitive exchange rates for foreign currency. This is considered an additional service, not a core business need.
2. Money Changers
You can visit the shopfront of a licensed money changer. These businesses need an AD-II license from the RBI or a Full-Fledged Money Changer License (FFMC) provided under Section 10 (1) of the Foreign Exchange Management Act.
You are likely to get the best exchange rate and deal from a money changer. These businesses will not insist that you open a bank account before making your currency exchange, though you will still need ID.
Reliable money changers in the country include:
Unimoni (formerly known as UAE Exchange)
Muthoot Forex
Cox & Kings
If you are using a common international currency, such as USD, GBP or EUR, these exchanges should be instantaneous. You will walk out of the money changer's premises with the appropriate amount of INR on your person. All the same, it is advisable to check this before you commit to handing over your funds.
3. Airports
All major airports have kiosks that enable you to exchange foreign currency. This is great for last-minute exchanges. That said, only change money at the airport if you have no other choice. The rates are usually terrible for consumers, and you may lose a substantial amount of money in commission.
Which Bank Gives the Best Exchange Rates in India?
As discussed previously, banks rarely offer the best rates for foreign currency. What's more, you must be an account holder with an Indian bank to exchange money at such a facility. If you are a foreign national, this is unlikely to be the case. In such an instance, visit a licensed money changer instead.
If you are an Indian bank account holder and wish to exchange money with a bank, the following are considered to offer the best rates. Again, though, remember that rates vary day-by-day.
Indian Bank (this is the name of a bank with an HQ in Chennai)
Kotak Mahindra BankIf you are planning to do business in the country or visit regularly and want to open a local account, you may wish to consider one of these banks due to their preferential rates.
What Is the Best Place to Exchange Dollars for Rupees?
If you travel to India with USD, try to exchange these with a licensed money changer. Banks impose regulations that may make the exchange impossible, as well as offering less than desirable exchange rates. Airport kiosks, meanwhile, will offer a poor rate that leaves you out of pocket.
Can I Use an ATM in India?
Yes, we can withdraw INR from an ATM in India using a standard debit or credit card. Just look for the usual Visa or Mastercard symbols on an ATM, change the language on the ATM if necessary, and follow the on-screen instructions.
You will likely be charged an international currency fee by your bank every time you use an ATM in the country. Many Indian ATMs also levy a fee of between 150-300 INR (2-4 USD) per withdrawal.
More Currency of India Information
By now we've provided you with lots of helpful details about how to exchange currencies in this country. In addition, there are a few things that you should know about the currency of India ahead of your trip. Read on to learn more!
What Is the Currency in India?
The currency is the rupee (INR). 100 paise make up 1 rupee, but all expenses in the country are incurred in rupees. This is the only legal tender in the country. If you wish to use foreign money during your stay, this will need to be exchanged first.
In a pinch, most restaurants, cities and larger shops accept Visa and Mastercard, especially in the major cities like Mumbai and New Delhi. Some also accept American Express and Discover, though this is less commonplace.
What Are the Rupee Exchange Rates?
Exchange rates into rupees vary depending on the fluctuating state of the global financial market. However, broadly speaking, expect the following rates to apply:
1 USD = 75 INR
1 GBP = 100 INR
1 EUR = 90 INR
To stress again, though, this is just an average guide. You may enjoy a higher or lower rate at any given time. The only way to be certain of an exchange rate is investigating what is offered by local currency conversion services.
What Are the Rupee Denominations?
Rupees are available as both notes and coins in India. The most frequently used denominations of notes are:
10 INR
Meanwhile, there are also a handful of coins in circulation to the value of:
Notes are typically used much more. All genuine Indian banknotes are issued by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and feature the face of Mahatma Gandhi on the front.
About Currency Digit Grouping
In India, the currency is labelled in a 2, 2, 3 formation. This means that 250,000 INR will be marked 2,50,000 INR. Do not make a mistake and think that this means you only owe a shopkeeper or restaurant 2.50 INR – very little in India is that cheap!
What Are Lakhs?
You may see references to lakhs in India. 1 lakh is equal to 100,000 INR. This means that a cost of 250,000 INR may be referred to as 2.5 lakh rupees or the aforementioned 2,50,000 INR.
How Much Indian Currency Can I Carry to India?
Unless you are an Indian resident, it is not permitted to bring Indian money into the country. You will need to exchange your currency upon arrival in India. If you are an Indian resident, you can bring up to 25,000 INR of cash into the country.
How Much Foreign Currency Can I Carry to India?
You can bring foreign funds, as well as debit and credit cards or travellers' cheques. Travellers' cheques can be made out in INR if that is your preference.
There is no limit on how much foreign money you can bring into the country. However, if you have more than 5,000 USD in cash or 10,000 USD in combined cash and travellers' cheques upon arrival in the country, you must declare this at customs.
Is There a Cash Carrying Limit in India?
There is no legal limit on how much cash you can carry in the country. However, Indian police have stop-and-search powers. If the police find a large amount of cash on your person, you will be expected to justify this with an explanation that is considered reasonable.
You will also likely be asked to provide evidence that the cash was acquired legitimately, so always ask for a receipt from an ATM or currency exchanger service. If you fail to satisfy the police queries, you can be interrogated further.

Exploits and vulnerabilities | News
Update now! Critical patches for Chrome and Edge
Posted: April 30, 2022 by Pieter Arntz
Google has released an update for the Chrome browser that includes 30 security fixes. Edge and other Chromium-based browsers also need updating.
Google has released an update for its Chrome browser that includes 30 security fixes. The latest version of the stable channel is now Chrome 101.0.4951.41 for Windows, Mac and Linux. This version addresses vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit to take control of an affected system.
Microsoft advises Edge users—which is essentially a Microsoft-badged version of Chrome—to update as well, since it shares many of these vulnerabilities.
Seven of the vulnerabilities are rated as "high." Five of those vulnerabilities are "Use after free" flaws, which, thanks to a memory relocation issue, can allow hackers to pass arbitrary code to a program. Which is another way of saying that attackers can do unauthorized things on your computer just by getting you to go to a malicious web page coded to exploit these problems.
Use after free
Publicly disclosed computer security flaws are listed in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database. Its goal is to make it easier to share data across separate vulnerability capabilities (tools, databases, and services). The use after free vulnerabilities that are listed with a high severity are:
CVE-2022-1477, a use-after-free vulnerability in the Vulkan graphics API.
CVE-2022-1478, a use-after-free vulnerability in the SwiftShader 3D renderer.
CVE-2022-1479, a use-after-free vulnerability in ANGLE a "graphics engine abstraction layer."
CVE-2022-1480, is a use-after-free vulnerability in Device API. A remote attacker can reportedly create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it, trigger the use-after-free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
CVE-2022-1481, is a use-after-free vulnerability in Sharing. This vulnerability can be reportedly be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet, by luring the victim to a specially crafted web page.
Other high severity vulnerabilities
There are two other vulnerabilities listed as high severity issues:
CVE-2022-1482, is described as an "Inappropriate implementation in WebGL" in Google Chrome. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted web page, trick the victim into visiting it and compromise their system.
CVE-2022-1483, is a heap buffer overflow in WebGPU, a web API that exposes modern computer graphics capabilities for the Web. Heap is the name for a region of a process' memory which is used to store dynamic variables. A buffer overflow is a type of software vulnerability that exists when an area of memory within a software application reaches its address boundary and writes into an adjacent memory region. In software exploit code, the two common areas that are targeted for overflows are the stack and the heap.
How to update
If you're a Chrome user on Windows, Mac, or Linux, you should update to version 101.0.4951.41 as soon as possible.
The easiest way to update Chrome is to allow it to update automatically, which basically uses the same method as outlined below but does not require your attention. But you can end up blocking automatic updates if you never close the browser, or if something goes wrong, such as an extension stopping you from updating the browser.
So, it doesn't hurt to check now and then. And now would be a good time, given the severity of the vulnerabilities listed.
My preferred method is to have Chrome open the page chrome://settings/helpwhich you can also find by clicking Settings > About Chrome.
If there is an update available, Chrome will notify you and start downloading it. Then all you have to do is relaunch the browser in order for the update to complete.
So you don't have to track the version number, when Chrome is up to date it displays the message "Chrome is up to date"
After the updates Chrome should be at version 101.0.4951.41 and Edge should be at version 101.0.1210.32.
Stay safe, everyone!

NSWRL NEWS
NSWRL unveils exciting blueprint for football comps
NSWRL
Mon 28 Sep 2020, 12:08 PM
The NSWRL has announced an exciting new football competition blueprint for Rugby League across the state which will bring the game in regional NSW and the Sydney metropolitan area closer together and set it up for even further success into the future.
The One State NSWRL Strategic Plan (competitions), which has been a work in progress since the NSWRL and the CRL came together in October last year, has looked at how Rugby League could be administered more efficiently across NSW to increase recruitment and retention of all participants.
"The NSWRL is passionate about all forms of the game in NSW from our successful State of Origin programs; regional and Sydney competitions; women's Rugby League; community programs and grassroots football," said NSWRL Chief Executive David Trodden.
"The opportunity to come together with the CRL at the end of 2019 presented us with a unique chance to have a look at the way Rugby League was being administered across the state and to determine if there were any areas where it could potentially be improved.
"I'm extremely proud of all the hard work that has been done by the NSWRL in producing the 'One State NSWRL Strategic Plan' for our football competitions and I look forward to its implementation and the benefits it will deliver to all our participants across the state."
The objectives of the strategic plan (competitions) includes:
- Increase recruitment and retention;
- Increase the number of officials at grassroots level;
- Enhanced competition and development pathways for women and girls;
- Clearly defined competition pathway with minimum standards of delivery;
- Restructure of the state into six zones and associated region which preserve historical structures but create more efficient competition possibilities;
- Creation of a statewide Ron Massey Cup competition.
There will also be an age change for junior representative competitions next season with Jersey Flegg moving to Under 21s, SG Ball and the Harvey Norman Tarsha Gale Cup to Under 19s and Harold Matthews to Under 17s.
The Laurie Daley Cup will remain Under 18s and the Andrew Johns Cup Under 16s for both regional NSW competitions.
The restructure of the state into six zones, which are all approximately equal in size for participation numbers, will promote a competitive balance, reduce travel times for younger age groups, and will allow for more efficient and consistent governance structures.
The creation of a statewide Ron Massey Cup competition follows the success of the Presidents Cup competition this season, which involved teams from regional NSW and the Sydney metropolitan area.
The NSWRL is in the process of canvassing expressions of interest for the Ron Massey Cup for 2021 with the competition structure to determined once that is complete.
The Kaiviti Silktails from Fiji are a confirmed starter and contingency plans have already been devised to deal with any travel restrictions due to COVID-19.
"This season has thrown up plenty of challenges but there have also been plenty of highlights to go with it," said Trodden.
"The One State NSWRL Strategic Plan for our competitions provides our organisation with a strong platform to move forward and I'm confident it will guarantee even further success for the future."

Hey ugly! How you doin'?
Hey Ugly! Way to greet somebody.
Vibrant postcard with a colorful monster cartoon.
Here's a tip; Leave it on the pillow for your partner to discover in the morning. Works best after a night of drinking and bad decisions, if you know what I mean.


By starting small, you'll build up to better skin. The key thing to remember is that by starting a new habit and continuing it the following day, you'll build up all of the positive habits that will make a big change in your skin.
Every day, make sure you're using a gentle skin cleanser that's formulated for your skin type (oily, normal, dry, acne-prone, etc.). Following your daily cleanser, use a moisturizer.
For specific skin care issues, consult your dermatologist before starting any particular regimen.
Day 1: Clean everything that touches your face.
"How clean the objects are that touch your face does make a difference in terms of your skin's hygiene and can help to reduce breakouts. The three main culprits: towels, phones, pillowcases," Geyer tells BuzzFeed Life. Think about every surface you touch with your hands (ahem, the bathroom) before touching your cell phone. All of that bacteria just ends up on your face!
Cell Phone: Wipe down your cell phone with a standard alcohol wipe. Get a container of alcohol wipes to keep at your desk or on the kitchen counter in your home.
Towels: Wash or swap out your bath towels. If you can, use a separate towel on your face than on the rest of your body.
Pillowcase: Rotate or wash your pillowcase to minimize the transfer of oils and product from your hair onto your face during the night.
What To Do From Now On: Clean your cell phone with an alcohol wipe every day. Swap your towel and pillowcase for a clean option at least once a week.
Day 2: Find a sunscreen you actually like wearing and wear it every single day.
"We often get a false sense of protection in our cars and in our offices, but the reality is that the longer-wavelength UVA rays penetrate through glass and age our skin in a cumulative fashion throughout the day. Find a sunscreen that you like the texture of (with the right balance of texture and protection) and commit to wearing it every day," says Geyer.
What To Do Today: Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher that's also labeled as broad spectrum. Apply 15 minutes before sun exposure. If you're going to be inside the entire day, apply once in the morning before you leave your home and once in the evening before you go home. If you're outside most of the day, reapply every two to three hours.
What To Do From Now On: Set a recurring daily alarm on your cell phone for 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to remind yourself about reapplying.
For a lightweight, oil-free sunscreen that easily blends into your skin, try Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+*.
Day 3: Notice every time you touch your face — then STOP.
"Picking pimples can lead to marks and scars that last much longer than the pimple ever would have, rubbing itchy eyelids only makes them more inflamed and more sensitive, and habitually touching your face can transfer bacteria from your hands to your face and contribute to breakouts and even to skin infections," says Geyer.
What To Do Today: Pay attention to the times you're likely to touch your face throughout the day. Is it while you're sitting at your desk? Is it when you're popping a pimple? Get into the groove of noticing your hand going up to touch your face, then immediately pull away.
What To Do From Now On: If you're a compulsive face-toucher, try using Tangle Therapy (above) to give your hands something to do instead of touching your face.
You can get the Tangle Therapy product here* for $5.99.
Day 4: Moderate your intake of the "Big 4" in your diet: dairy, gluten, refined sugars, and excessive salt.
"For many people, the ingredients listed above can have a significant impact on inflammation and their skin's fluid balances. This can translate into skin that appears blotchy, red, broken out and puffy," says Geyer.
Also keep in mind when you're eating. Have your bigger meals earlier in the day to give yourself fuel when you need it, rather than creating insulin surges and spikes at night, which can lead to inflammation.
What To Do Today: Challenge yourself to eat fresh meals that are low in the Big 4. Incorporate leafy greens, fish, unsalted nuts, and fruits into your diet. Make sure your larger meals are breakfast and lunch, with dinner being the lightest.
What To Do From Now On: Focus on a diet rich in antioxidants and lower in dairy, sugar, salt, and wheat. Check out this list of 26 Food Swaps To Make You Healthier* to learn about healthier foods to replace the Big 4 in your diet.
Day 5: Start exfoliating two to three nights a week.
What To Do Today: Use a gentle exfoliator and a washcloth with light, circular motions all over your face for about 30 seconds, then rinse with warm (not hot) water. Make sure you're not overscrubbing or applying too much pressure, as this can lead to excessive dryness and irritation.
What To Do From Now On: Leaving at least one day in between exfoliation, use a facial exfoliator two to three times per week. Introduce body scrub to your routine for an all over exfoliation experience.
Day 6: Focus on better sleep and less stress.
"Poor sleep and excessive stress promote the release of cortisol from our adrenal glands, which can wreak havoc on our skin. When you get more sleep, your face looks less puffy, excessive sebum production is reduced, inflammation is down," says Geyer.
What To Do Today: Stop drinking caffeine by 4 p.m. and eat your last meal no later than 7 p.m. Before you go to bed, put your phone on the opposite side of your bedroom. If you're feeling particularly stressed, give yourself 10 minutes of "stress time" to freak out as much as you want, followed by 10 minutes of "solution time" to think about real ways to solve the issues you're stressed about.
To Deal With Stress: Try giving yourself 30 minutes of "stress time" throughout the week when you can freak out as much as you want, then stop. Throughout the rest of the week, focus on constructive ways to solve your problems.
To Get Better Sleep: Put your cell phone as far away as possible before you get into bed to sleep. Darken your room as much as you can and consider ear plugs if noise has been keeping you up at night. Try eating earlier in the night to stop your food and drinking habits from interrupting your sleep patterns.
Day 7: Get into the habit of removing your makeup before bed.
"This seems like common sense but there are nights when even the simplest of steps seems like a burden, like after a night out or a hideously long day at the office," says Geyer. Leaving makeup on overnight means it has the chance to seep into your pores, which can lead to redness, inflammation, irritation, and blotches.
What To Do Today: Before you apply your makeup in the morning, take out your makeup remover wipes and place them on your pillow. This way, it's a blatant reminder to take off your makeup at night.
What To Do From Now On: Keep an emergency stash of makeup remover wipes on your bedside table for nights when you're too lazy to make it all the way to the bathroom sink.

Usò lo stesso pseudonimo "Gitanillo De Triana" usato dal fratello maggiore Francisco Vega de los Reyes (Curro Puya), anche lui torero, morto a Madrid il 31 maggio 1931 a seguito di un'incornata di un toro.

Biografia
Figlio di Manuel Vega Romero (1868) e di Carmen de los Reyes García (1872), nacque a Siviglia nel quartiere di Triana da una famiglia di origine gitana molto numerosa. Penultimo di dieci figli, aveva 3 sorelle e 6 fratelli.

Iniziò la sua carriera a Madrid nel 1933 come "novillero" (principiante) quando trattava di bovini Villamarta con Florentino Ballesteros González e Pericás, anche loro toreri.

Nel 1937 sposò Rosario Rojas Monge "la Borbona" (1920-2010), figlia della celebre ballerina di flamenco Pastora Rojas Monje, meglio nota come Pastora Imperio, e di Fernando Sebastián de Borbón y Madán, cugino del re Alfonso XIII, riconosciuta all'inizio come figlia del torero Rafael Gómez Ortega "El Gallo"'.La coppia ebbe cinque figli: Francisco (Curro) padre dell'attrice Pastora Vega, Maria Del Carmen (Carmen), Pastora, Rafael e Charo.

Ricomparve nelle locandine delle corride nella stagione 1944, insieme al torero Manolete. Ebbe uno stile di corrida molto puro ma a volte troppo riservato, dove i trionfi si mescolarono spesso a fallimenti in confronti paradossali.

Nella stagione 1947 partecipò a 43 corride grazie ad una vittoria molto importante che ottenne a Madrid il 10 ottobre dal 1946 con un toro Buendìa.

Ripetitivo nelle incongruenze e nei problemi con la spada, scese a 22 corride nel 1948, 5 nel 1949, 3 nel 1950, e 2 nel 1951 e nel 1952, per cui non raggiunse mai il livello di risultati del suo sfortunato fratello maggiore Francisco Vega de los Reyes "Gitanillo de Triana" ucciso dal toro "Fandanguero" di Pérez Tabernero nel maggio del 1931.

È interessante notare che negli anni si alternò più volte a Manolete e a Luis Miguel Dominguín. Il fato volle che nell'agosto del 1947, Manolete morisse durante una corrida un toro di proprietà di don Eduardo Miura, detto Islero, che lo travolse nella plaza de toros di Linares, causandone la morte il 28 agosto 1947. L'evento è noto come "cartel de Linares de 1947".

Una della ultime corride a cui partecipò fu quella a Pamplona il 18 Luglio 1948, durante la festa nazionale dell'Alzamiento nacional. Nel cartellone della corrida vennero presentati 3 toreri di origini gitane: Cagancho, Gitanillo e Albaicín.

Ritiratosi dall'ambiente delle corride aprì El Duende, uno dei più celebri tablao di flamenco di Madrid, insieme a sua suocera Pastora Imperio. Qui si esibirono negli anni '60 i più grandi esponenti del flamenco e della successiva rumba catalana, tra cui Peret e Antonio González Batista "El Pescaílla".

Morte
Nelle prime ore del 24 maggio 1969, lui e suo genero Héctor Álvarez, un torero venezuelano, morirono in un incidente stradale, andando a sbattere contro un camion, a Belinchón (Cuenca) dopo aver trascorso la notte a una festa organizzata dal torero Luis Miguel Dominguín nella sua fattoria Villa Paz.

The Open Space Authority works to preserve local wildlife and restore habitat by removing invasive plant species, using conservation grazing techniques, restoring ponds, streams, and meadows, and monitoring the areas carefully. Protecting wildlife goes hand-in-hand with preservation of their diverse habitats.
Increasing urbanization led to the destruction of many natural habitats that once supported wildlife communities, threatening their livelihood and long-term survival. The Center for Biological Diversity estimates that species are dying off at thousands of times the natural rate due to habitat loss, invasive plants and animals, and climate change. Because of this, the Santa Clara County is a local example of a global crisis.
The construction of roads, housing, and other developments in the Santa Clara County has fragmented and destroyed much of the natural wildlife habitat, resulting in the threat to species such as the mountain lion, badger, California tiger salamander, and Bay checkerspot butterfly. It is important to protect local wildlife populations to ensure a healthy diversity of species for the long-term.
The Open Space Authority works to keep our diverse ecosystems intact, protect the resident species, and preserve adequate population numbers in order to promote genetic diversity.
Maintaining wildlife linkages, like the Coyote Valley, to ensure safe passage for wildlife between mountain ranges.
Protecting animals and their habitat that have been stated rare or endangered by the state or the U.S. government.
Restoring landscapes that are important for wildlife and native plants.
Protecting aquatic habitat such as streams, springs, and ponds, which will become even more important for wildlife as the climate becomes hotter and dryer from climate change.
Supporting research projects on Authority properties that enhance knowledge and management for biodiversity.

43Leads is an innovative service that solves a problem that many small businesses face—email blacklisting. When a website is on a shared server, as many small business websites are, and has "bad neighbors" who are sending out spam, often every website on the server will be blacklisted. This means that the business will stop receiving emails through their own website's contact form, missing valuable leads from potential customers. 43Leads offers lead capture page creation and contact form hosting to ensure that small businesses receive every message sent through their website's contact form.
Modmacro designed the website for 43Leads, which has won multiple international design awards since its launch. We also connected them with Tech Company News, who featured 43Leads on their site and shared the service with their more than 50,000 social media followers.

Yankuba Touray Charged With Murder: What Lies Ahead?
By Abdoulie Fatty	 Last updated Jul 2, 2019 398
Sat alone in his cell, concrete floor, derelict walls, suffocating heat, unforgiving conditions, Yankuba Touray paces around, trying to keep his mind sane, his thoughts seeking to reconcile with his present predicament, stretching his hands and legs, as he confronts the perils of imprisonment, seizure of liberty, freedom and choice and ultimately, the menace of boredom.
Inmates inside a Mile 2 prison cell photo credit: Jason Florio
It's a spectacular fall from grace for a man once regarded as Jammeh's top political orchestrator. He is confined to a tiny cell, I presume, in the security wing, while he internalises the fall-out from his brief cameo at the TRRC last week. Any thoughts of regret tormenting his soul and plaguing his mind and conscience if he has any? I do not know. Only he, the pauper, now stripped of company and the comfort of his wife on the other side of the bed, marble floors and chandeliers, flushed toilets, impeccably decorated white-ceiling, reduced to now gazing at barren concrete ceiling, old-fashioned colonial architecture, this is what he now has to get accustomed to, as his new humble abode, literally.
Yankuba Touray refusing to testify
In the last hour or so, news reports confirm our hopes. Yankuba Touray, who dared the TRRC last week, has this afternoon been charged with murder under section 187 of the Criminal Code. If convicted, he will spend the rest of his life in prison, unless pardoned. He's been remanded in custody at the Mile II Central prisons, pending his plea taking on the next adjourned date on 8th July. I wonder if that is going to be another spectacle, episode 2 of the Yankuba Touray ill-judged saga. The sequel from last week.
Is he going to express the same defiance, that he has constitutional immunity and thus the High Court, or any court for that matter, has no jurisdiction to try him in relation to any matter emanating from his AFPRC days. That will not be an implausible outcome. If he refuses to recognise the jurisdiction of the TRRC, what's the guarantee that he will readily submit himself to the jurisdiction of the High Court?
Or, perhaps, he may have had a sober reflection, rationalised his performance last week and agree that he needs to find a better way of making his point without much fuss and indignation. I will not put a wager on it. If he decides to invoke constitutional immunity and/or challenge the jurisdiction of the court, and he may decide to do this immediately the charge is read out to him. He may also decide to enter a not-guilty plea and not take any further part, i.e immediately he pleads not guilty, he may raise the issue of jurisdiction.
If he does this, the murder trial will halt at that stage, at least temporarily. This is because it is customary practice that whenever the issue of jurisdiction is raised, all other matters ought to stop whilst the court makes a determination as to whether it has jurisdiction or not. In this instance, since the supposed jurisdictional issue relates to the interpretation of the constitution, an issue that will require the intervention of the Supreme Court to interpret the specific provision that either gives or outs the court jurisdiction, the murder trial proper will be temporarily suspended and the Judge will refer the matter to the Supreme Court to interpret and make a pronouncement. This is likely to take months and meanwhile Yankuba Touray willremain in custody.
Charge sheet
If the Supreme Court declares section 13 unconstitutional, the matter will revert back to the High Court to proceed. His immunity claim would have failed. If, however, the Supreme Court decide that this section is constitutional and thus valid, then the High Court and any other lawful authority, adjudicatory or not, will lack the legal capacity to entertain any inquiry or prosecution of the actions of the junta or those they appointed. This is far-fetched. What I am stating here is almost an academic exercise to give the reader a comprehensive overview of what may or may not happen. It is extremely unlikely that there is constitutional immunity that Yankuba Touray may fall back on to evade accountability.
I understand that the Supreme Court in Jammeh v Attorney General (2002) in which Kemesseng Jammeh challenged the constitutionality of a Constitution Amendment Act (No. 6) of 2001), declared the unlawfulness of and thus invalidated part of the Amendment Act (No. 6) of 2001. This declaration, I understand, prohibited the amendment of certain paragraphs in the Second Schedule, inter alia, para. 13. The Yahya Jammeh government, completely disregarding the decision of the Supreme Court, tried to give life to its proposed amendments by reincarnating it by Order (Legal Notice No. 10 of 2002/Gazette No. 10 of 2002). Reprinting the Constitution by Order, was simply a fraudulent attempt by the APRC regime to circumvent a lawful constitutional process by unlawful methods. As one Gambian legal jurist opined "You cannot commit an unlawful act lawfully".
Thus, once the issue of jurisdiction is raised, in particular if it relates to section 13, the prosecution may simply provide the Court with the Supreme Court authority and argue that the issue has been settled by the highest court in the land and therefore the High Court has jurisdiction to try him for murder. Since the decision of the Supreme Court is binding on all the courts below it, the High Court may rely on this authority to rule that it has jurisdiction and shall henceforth proceed with the hearing of the matter. Notwithstanding, the AG, as the chief legal officer, may also seek clarification on the subject from the Supreme Court.
From my own legal point of view, and this point is shared by many, the AG has got it right by charging Yankuba Touray with murder. Any lesser offence would have given him room to be granted bail. I think custody is the appropriate home for Yankuba Touray and perhaps, the restriction of his liberty, being ferried to the High Court every week or so from Mile II, amidst other commons criminals, will teach this thug a lesson or two about life, more so, humility and wisdom.
For now, the pain and suffering that the family of Ousman Koro Ceesay endured for twenty-four years, will not be erased. However, they may be able to take some solace from knowing that the long arm of the law has finally caught up with one of the perpetrators who bludgeoned their loved one to death. Justice will finally be done. At least, as a nation, we may begin to close that dark chapter of our past while we make small steps towards creating an enduring future.

The first snow of the season has fallen yesterday. It was beautiful as it fell and the yard turned to white.
I went out and took some photos in it, trying my best to capture some of the feeling of the season. I posted a couple on my flickr stream. Click on the image below and it will take you there to have a look.
Now the chores that come with the snow are setting in. I have to shovel off the walk, and scrape the windows on the car, etc. Its all still fairly new to me, even after two years here on the east coast.
I am looking forward to my trip down to Arizona, can't wait to see my folks again. I don't see them enough anymore. Its going to be a great visit. I'll be sure to post some photos of the trip while I'm down there. Keep an eye here and on my flickr stream for updates.
So today I received my Canon 5D Mark II and had a chance to play with it a little bit. I havent processed any photos taken with it, but will tomorrow, I promise.
Its low light performance is spectacular so far, and I have been able to take shots I would never have been able to take before with my Xti. It is an entirely different beast. I cant say enough about it, its a night and day upgrade. I purchased the kit with the 24-105 f4L lens, and I have to say that the combination yields stunning bokeh, and incredibly sharp images. The lcd on the back is a beautiful thing. The shutter is nearly silent compared to my xti, and I think its quieter by far than any other camera I've used or heard used.
I did try video mode, but I just filmed my dog and nobody wants to see that so I'll just delete that and make a better video tomorrow to post with the snapshots.
Here is the update: You can click any of these photos to visit my flickr page for the photo and view the rest of them. And for my shameless self-plug, please also visit my website at http://www.morgaliphoto.com.
This photo was taken at ISO 6400 with the Canon 5D Mark II.

In the modern world "Automation" is a process of reducing manual stress. Machines have certainly become a daily need aiding in faster completion of a task with ease. Automating tasks make them less complicated and flawless. In this WordPress forms automation guide, we are specifically discussing the Automation feature of the RegistrationMagic plugin.
Note that custom user statuses and manual actions are also part of RegistrationMagic plugin, but not included in this WordPress forms automation guide. Visit our WordPress user registration guide for details on how to carry out manual actions with status labels.
In short, this article serves as a complete WordPress forms automation guide. If you need to dive deep into any specific topics, you can browse the individual posts here.
Automation here refers to the task or rule applied on various aspects of a WordPress registration form. Click "Automation" lying just below "Field Analytics" under your RegistrationMagic plugin. In the meantime, create a new task and start applying the automation rule.
The first page assigns a unique task name. Adding a description is not mandatory. Nevertheless, you can insert one for your convenience.
Click "Next" and go to the next page.
This page contains five distinct automation rules. All these rules can run on the selected form submissions. Let's discuss all the rules one at a time.
The automation rule is applied to the users depending on the selected account state. User accounts can either be active or inactive. This rule is automated according to your selection.
Selecting "Activated User Accounts" runs the rule on those submissions made from active accounts. On the other hand, the "Deactivated User Accounts" rule is applied to submissions made from inactive accounts.
Enabling the WordPress form submission age rule allows you to select user accounts based on form submission time. That is, automation rule will calculate the age of submission, and use it as input criteria.
Nevertheless, this rule can be configured on two criteria. Submissions older and younger than criterion is used to select submissions older or younger than the specified days. The days are calculated based on the date of running the automation task.
This rule helps in selecting form submissions based on their respective field values. Values can be added beside each other separated by a "|". However, you can only select fields and values which are present in the form.
For instance, you are looking to run the automation rule on some selected email addresses. This rule is applicable only if those accounts with the relative email addresses have submitted the form.
In fact, remember defining the field and value here if you want the automation to run on selected submissions.
Payments processors are gateways for executing monetary transactions. Consequently, online payments are possible through these secure gateways. In fact, your card details integrate with these payment processors. At the same time, it helps in quick and undisputed transactions.
The automation task runs only on those submissions whose transactions are executed using one of these gateways. For instance, selecting Stripe automates only those submissions whose payments are made through Stripe. The same rule also applies to the rest of the payment processors as well.
In short, it lessens the manual steps of selecting forms according to their payment type.
The automation task runs only on submissions with a complete, pending or canceled payment status. To summarize, selection rules filter a submission if all enabled rules are true for that submission. To illustrate, enabling both "Field Value Rule" and "Payment Processor Rule" only filters submissions fulfilling both the rules.
For instance, selecting a completed payment status triggers the rule for those submissions with fulfilled payments. Other payment statuses also affect submissions accordingly.
We move on to the next page now.
This rule helps to automate WordPress user account activation, deactivation or deletion without manual intervention. You might also do nothing with the account.
Select the action taken on accounts associated with selected submissions. For instance, selecting "Activate account" will make those accounts active according to earlier selections. You can also delete or deactivate user accounts in the same way.
This section automates an email to user accounts associated with selected submissions. You can add a subject and a content for the body of the email. You can also add any type of media file and use values from form fields selecting one from the drop-down.
Automated Emails for WordPress forms strengthens the admin-user relationship. With the user receiving account activation and deletion email users feel connected to your brand. You can now make your user aware of their account status with these emails. In fact, your manual workflow post submission is automated with ease. This is because only a single click allows you to send emails to multiple users.
Save each and every configuration or the changes you have incorporated.
To run the task, go to the "Automation" page and click Run Now for the task you created. The automation rule runs exclusively on the selected submissions.
This finally completes the automation guide for WordPress forms.
Note that some features of WordPress forms automation are free, and available for download on our WordPress page. Also, we keep launching new features, which are announced on our Facebook page; stay connected with us on Facebook.

Relationship between number of metabolic syndrome components and dietary factors in middle-aged and elderly Japanese subjects
Hypertension Research: Official Journal of the Japanese Society of Hypertension
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) represents a cluster of risk factors for atherosclerosis and is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The role of diet in the etiology of MetS is poorly understood, especially among Asian subjects. This cross-sectional study assessed the relationship between diet and the number of MetS components among Japanese men (n=609) and women (n=631). Mean (s.d.) age and body mass index were 57.1 (12.1) years and 22.8 (2.8) kg m(-2) for men and 55.5 (12.0) years and 22.0 (3.0) kg m(-2) for women, respectively.

Alterations in homocysteine metabolism among alcohol dependent patients--clinical, pathobiochemical and genetic aspects
Current Drug Abuse Reviews
Addiction research focusing on homocysteine metabolism and its association with aspects of alcohol dependence has revealed important findings. Recent literature on this topic has been taken into account for the review provided. Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is a key enzyme in the homocysteine metabolism. Plasma homocysteine levels are influenced by the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) MTHFR C677T. Besides genetic factors, environmental factors have an impact on homocysteine plasma levels too.

The famous roofline of Saratoga's clubhouse and grandstand with its distinctive golden pinnacles graces the 1987 Travers poster. Saratoga is the oldest thoroughbred race course in the United States — and is certainly one of the most beautiful.
The original studies for this poster were done out of cut paper. I loved the bold clean solid colors and hard edges that paper gave me; but I wanted an edition of more than one. So, I moved to silkscreen printing. Based on the earlier paper study, I hand-pulled this serigraph or silk-screen print.
My studio was tiny — only part of a small shed — there was not enough room for more than about 25 prints to dry at one time. I actually hung them on a clothesline with wooden clips. Later, I moved my screen printing activity to a much larger facility at the College of St. Rose in Albany, NY where I was an adjunct professor in Graphic Design.
The words "The Travers" are actually screen-printed on the paper along with the artwork. In all later posters the artwork is separate from the typography.
This is the 2nd poster in The Colors of Racing poster series.
