Windows 10 is now on over 1 billion devices worldwide Microsoft said in March. Now that the support for Windows 7 is officially over Microsoft is encouraging users to either upgrade their PC to Windows 10 to run it smoothly and safely or to get a new computer to buy.
Major OS updates take place approximately every six months, most recently the November 2019 update. Early reports from our sister site ZDNet include that the latest update – currently available as a preview release – takes 7 to 17 minutes to to install.
Here's what we know so far about the Windows 10 May 2020 update.

When is the Windows 10 May 2020 update available?
For those who are part of the Windows Insider Program, the May 2020 update will be available as a preview release for about a year (again, originally this was called the April 2020 update, but given the corona virus pandemic , its release was pushed back).
The final release is expected to be available to developers on May 12 and for regular users on May 28, ZDNet reported.
If you want to access the preview release now, you can join the Windows 10 Insider Slow Ring and set the option Stop getting preview builds to On. (This will allow you to use the current preview and prevent it from being replaced by future ones on future arrival. Otherwise, you can wait for the general release of the update.
What new features does the May 2020 update include?
The Windows 10 May 2020 Update includes a number of changes for users, according to Microsoft, such as:
Cortana: Microsoft says Cortana is developing into a "personal productivity assistant" that can help you use Microsoft 365 apps. Cortana will be detached from the taskbar, so you can move or resize it like any other app. With an improved email feature, you can use Cortana to create emails (for example, say, "Send an email to Mary to let her know I'm late" or "Let me send emails from Jeff see"). With an improved calendar, you can do the same to create and ask for meetings. And with Windows, you can use the assistant to open apps and adjust settings such as brightness.
Search Home: Access four quick searches to your Search Home for easier access: weather, top news, today in history and new movies.
Kaomoji: Microsoft adds kaomoji-like ¯ _ (ツ) _ / ¯ – along with other emoji to the keyboard shortcut.
Virtual Desktops: Name your Virtual Desktops other than getting stuck with system-issued names such as Desktop 1.
Automatically open apps: Sign up for a setting to automatically configure Universal Open Windows Platform apps after restarting your machine.
Bluetooth pairing: Pairing Bluetooth devices to your machine is done through notifications, so you don't need to go to the Settings app to complete the pairing.
New Tablet Experience for Two-in-One Convertible PCs: Available as a Beta for Windows Insiders. When you disconnect your two-in-one keyboard, you still maintain the familiar look of your desktop without interruption, while still optimizing the screen for touch.

. Do previous versions of Windows 10 still work?
Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 1809 (also known as the October 2018 Update) Home, Pro, Pro Education and Pro for Workstations editions in November this year (originally planned for May, but again, Microsoft delayed it because of the impact of coronavirus). Support for Enterprise and Education editions will continue through May 2021.
You can still use version 1809, but the loss of Microsoft support will prevent you from receiving important security patches or other updates.

Should I Update to May 2020 Version?
No. Of course, Microsoft recommends that you update, but it's not mandatory – unless you're about to get a service end date for the version you're currently using. You can learn more about the update process on ZDNet.
To see what version of Windows 10 you have, go to Settings> System> About and scroll to Windows Specifications, where you will find the edition and version number.
If you have version 1903 (released May 2019) and want to keep it, you have until December 2020 before support ends. And if you have version 1909 (released November 2019), you have until May 2021 to update.
In a blog post on Monday Panos Panay, Microsoft's chief product officer for Windows and devices, provided an update on the Windows 10X operating system . The operating system was announced last year and is designed to work with new Surface Neo dual-screen devices, which are not yet available. However, given the changes in the world and the fact that most people are sticking to more typical laptops and two-in-one devices at the moment, Microsoft will be the focus of Windows 10X turning to single-screen devices, Panay wrote.
"With Windows 10X, we designed for flexibility, and that flexibility has allowed us to focus on single-screen Windows 10X devices that harness the power of the cloud to help our customers work, learn and play in new ways, & # 39; Panay wrote in the post. "These single screen devices will be the first expression of Windows 10X that we provide to our customers, and we will continue to work with our OEM partners to find the right one moment to market dual screen devices.

I might be late to the Junebugs and Georgia Peaches game, in fact I can't even remember what Blogger hole I fell in to find them, but when I saw they were coming out with a collection in partnership with Pinup Girl Clothing I was intrigued. And when I saw that the collection contained one of the cutest-but-still-kind-of-ridiculous dresses I had ever seen I was obsessed. I kept the tab open to the Amanda dress for weeks and promptly followed both Amanda and June on Instagram to stay in the loop. It's not really a surprise then when I say that as soon as it popped up for purchase I couldn't wait to click buy, huh?
I only own a couple other dresses from Pinup Girl Clothing but the quality continues to be awesome. This dress is fully lined with just a bit of fullness in the skirt - I've added a petticoat here and will probably always wear it that way. While it's on the pricier end of my closet I would have to fully recommend it - it's SO much fun and not only did I wear it twice over the Fourth of July weekend, I intend to wear it whenever I can get away with it this summer.


Will begin on Sunday September 13 with the 10:00 am Family Mass in the Church. Religious instruction is held in the school after the Family Mass until 12:15. REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS JULY 27. SOME CLASSES WILL FILL UP. WE MAY HAVE TO PLACE YOUR CHILD ON A WAITING LIST AFTER JULY 27. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD ON THE FIRST DAY OF CLASS. Re-registration forms and information have been mailed to current students. Information and forms for new students can be picked up at the parish office or found on the Sunday School website: www.blessedsacramentsundayschool.org. Sunday School teachers and Assistants are needed to serve in this important Parish Ministry. Volunteers who work with children follow a screening process as required by the Archdiocese. Please call Tina Silvestro (212-877-3111) for more information.
Thinking of becoming a Catholic: Are you Catholic but have not received Communion or Confirmation? Inquiry discussions for adults will begin on Monday, September 28 at 6:30pm. Please ccall Tina Silvestro at the parish office (212-877-3111) to register or seek information.
Thank you so very much for your generous response to the needs of the parish. Our collection last Sunday was $9,171. $2,571was received through ParishPay for a total of $11,742.
Our next Book Club will be held July 2, 6:30 to 8:00pm, when we will be reading G.K. Chesterton's "The Ball and the Cross", an allegorical fantasy detailing a heated dispute between a Catholic and an atheist, whose opinions lead to a series of comic misadventures. Entertaining and thought provoking at the same time, it is a vigorous exploration of the debate between theism and atheism, written by G.K. Chesterton, a Catholic convert and called one of the greatest Christian writers of the first half of the twentieth century.
God did not make death, nor does God rejoice in the destruction of the living (Wisdom 1:13). So Sunday's readings begin, but it is not where they end. Rather they end with Jesus offering us not one, but two examples of God's desire for us to have life and to have it to the full. Not only Jesus revive Jairus' daughterfrom death, but he also heals the woman with the hemorrhage. And he does both with a touch. In the case of the child, Jesus takes her hand and invites her to rise. In the case of the woman, she touches Jesus and the healing happens even before Jesus is aware. But when he realizes that "power had gone out of him," despite the urgency of Jairus' plea, Jesus takes the time to reassure the woman. That's how great God's will for us to live is! And it doesn't matter if you are old or young, privileged or not, we, too, have the power to touch —hearts, hands and minds. Let's take the time, as Jesus did to reach out to offer help and to receive it. We may never know the life we enrich, but it will be enriched indeed.
This Friday is the First Friday of July. We have exposition of the Blessed Sacrament after the 12:10pm Mass and adoration during the aternoon. We close with Benediction at 5:15pm. Please come and spend some time in prayer.
On the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month we have Bereavement Support Groups—General Bereavement at 5:30pm and Perinatal Loss (for individuals and coupleas who have lost a baby through miscarriage, stillbirth or newborn death) at 6:30pm. Both groups meet in the Rectory. No registration or fee is required.


Enums are strongly typed constants. Let's understand enums with an example. I have a customer class with Name and Gender properties. Gender is an integer.
This program is less readable and maintainable, as it operates on integrals instead of using enums.
In the next session we will replace, these integral numbers with enums, which makes the program better readable and maintainable.

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Some day you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn
To be brothers in arm
Through these fields of destruction
Baptism of fire
I've watched all your suffering
As the battles raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms
There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones
Now the sun's gone to hell
And the moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line on your palm
We're fools to make war
On our brothers in arms
The Commander in Chief of the United States, John F. Kennedy may have said:
"Through these fields of destruction
My brothers in arms"
But "they" deserted him.

Woman Survives Six-Hour Cardiac Arrest
World News December 8, 2019
A British woman has made a full recovery after suffering a six-hour cardiac arrest caused by severe hypothermia, a condition that doctors say also saved her life.
Thirty four-year-old Audrey Schoeman was caught in a snowstorm while hiking in the Pyrenees mountain range in Spain on November 3, and her husband Rohan called the emergency services when she passed out, according to a statement from Vall d'Hebron Hospital in Barcelona.
"I thought she was dead," Rohan said in an interview with local broadcaster.
"I was trying to feel for a pulse… I couldn't feel a breath, I couldn't feel a heartbeat." he added.
Schoeman was taken to Vall d'Hebron, where doctor Jordi Riera was part of the team that treated her.
According to the Riera, the human brain usually suffers irreparable damage if the heart stops beating for five minutes, and Schoeman represents a very rare case.
"What happened to her is a consequence of the drop in body temperature," Riera said.
He explained that Schoeman survived with a perfect neurological outcome because the extreme drop in body temperature that stopped her heart also slowed her brain metabolism, allowing the organ to cope better with the lack of oxygen.
Schoeman's body temperature had dropped to 18 degrees Celsius (64.4 Fahrenheit) — far lower than the normal 36.5–37.5 degrees Celsius (97.7–99.5 Fahrenheit) — and the hospital team used an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine to keep her alive.
ECMO replaces the function of the heart and lungs, allowing doctors to oxygenate Schoeman's blood and pump it round the body.
Riera, who is medical director of the ECMO program at Vall d'Hebron, said her body slowly warmed up and they were able to get her heart beating again after six hours.
"She woke up and asked: 'What am I doing here?'" said Riera.
Schoeman suffered a slight loss of sensitivity in her hands, but should recover fully, said Riera.
She will be returning to work on Monday, he added, just over a month after the incident.
"As a scientist I don't like the word but it's like a miracle," said Riera.
Schoeman expressed her gratitude to the medical team and told that she is keen to carry on her life as normal.

On Thursday, February 1, 2018, the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce held a Meet & Greet and Public Open House hosted by Lakes Region Mental Health Center (LRMHC) at our new medical facility located at 40 Beacon Street East in Laconia! Well over a hundred guests enjoyed refreshments and a tour of the building. A dedication of the CJ Graham Child & Family Services wing was part of the celebration. The LRMHC also offers patients primary health care services at the same location through our partnership with Health First. Dr."Pete" Harris, one of our founders, understood the importance of integrating both mental health services with primary health care services in order to treat the whole person; for this reason, the Family of Dr. Harris named the One Health Integrated Health Care offices in his honor. If you missed the Open House but would like to have an opportunity to tour the building, please contact Ann Nichols at anichols@lrmhc.org to schedule a visit.

OHCHR > English > Your Human Rights > SRHRDefenders > Mandate
In its year 2000 session, the Commission on Human Rights asked the Secretary-General to establish a mandate on human rights defenders. The Commission's intention was to give support to implementation of the Declaration on human rights defenders and also to gather information on the actual situation of human rights defenders around the world (see resolution 2000/61 establishing the mandate).
In August 2000, Ms Hina Jilani was named by the Secretary General as Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the situation of human rights defenders. Her mandate was renewed by the Commission in 2003 (resolution 2003/64) and by the Human Rights Council in 2007 (resolution 5/1). In 2008, with resolution 7/8, and in 2011, with resolution 16/5, the Human Rights Council, decided to renew the mandate on human rights defenders for a period of three years. In March 2008, the Human Rights Council appointed Mrs. Margaret Sekaggya as Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders.
The mandate on human rights defenders is broad and stipulates that the Special Rapporteur's main roles are:
seek, receive, examine and respond to information on the situation of human rights defenders;
establish cooperation and conduct dialogue with governments and other interested actors on the promotion and effective implementation of the Declaration;
recommend effective strategies better to protect human rights defenders and follow up on these recommendations;
integrate a gender perspective throughout her work
In its resolution, the Human Rights Council urges all governments to cooperate with the Special Rapporteur and to provide all information requested. Governments are also urged to implement and follow-up on her recommendations.
In the fulfillment of the mandate, the mandate holder:
Presents annual reports to the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly on particular topics or situations of special importance regarding the promotion and protection of the rights of human rights defenders (See Annual reports);
Undertakes country visits (see Country visits);
Take up individual cases of concern with Governments (see Submitting complaints)

Home Education First 'coloured martyr' of the SA Anglo-Boer War
First 'coloured martyr' of the SA Anglo-Boer War
Abraham Esau
IN MAY 19, 1900, in the little town of Calvinia in the Northern Cape white and "coloured" English-speakers were celebrating joyously with singing and speeches….
Delivering the speeches were the local magistrate and, the "leader" of the coloured community, Abraham Esau, who proudly raised the Union Jack before he started addressing members of the community.
The celebrations of the townsfolk revolved around a strange series of events in Mafeking, a siege of a town more than 970km away. It was a siege that resembled a long sleep, in which the only people to suffer were the town's African population.
The blockade of Mafeking lasted seven months, and it was an interesting, if ultimately insignificant event in the South African Anglo-Boer War – a seemingly unequal contest between the mighty British Empire and a ragtag army of Boers. Mafeking would become synonymous with empire-wide hero-worshipping of a British commander named Robert Baden-Powell.
Such was his celebrity status that British media saw what he and the town's leading white citizens had for Christmas lunch at the town's plush Reisle's Hotel, as imminently newsworthy. Thus, they wrote about starters of anchovy croutons and soup, followed by oyster patties, calves' tongue and poultry, and a main course of nine varieties of joint.
Interestingly, Africans in the town, most of whom were starving, received no pity from the man who would later go on to form the Boy Scout Movement. For, when it was suggested to him that some of the rations reserved for the town's white community be shared with Africans, he recommended that the "toe of the boot" be applied to such "grousers".
No one – and certainly not the townsfolk of Calvinia attached any significance to Baden-Powell's ugly, and some would say, only side. What was important to them – and the citizens of every other town in England and the British Empire was the fact that Mafeking had been relieved.
But soon Calvinia would become synonymous with tragedy. It became better known for a time, at least, as the home of Esau – the first "coloured martyr" of the SA Anglo-Boer War.
Born in about 1855 in Kenhardt in the Northern Cape, Esau and his family were deeply influenced by Wesleyan missionaries – so much so that the family home was one of the few in the coloured section of the town in which English was spoken. The missionaries, it was said, stressed the "godliness of hard work" into the psyche of the black communities into which they came into contact with.
And certainly this was true in the case of the Esau family. When, as an adult, he moved to Calvinia, his willingness to roll up his sleeves, saw the businesses he set up – a blacksmith shop and a vegetable garden – grow into profitable enterprises. Success, inevitably, meant that Esau was quickly elevated by members of the coloured community into their spokesperson.
And when the war between Briton and Boer broke out, it was to Esau who the coloured people looked to for guidance and leadership. They feared the Boers. And in many ways, their fears were justified. Boer justice administered to black people was swift and most times brutal.
Rebels who rode into the Cape and took over small settlements were quick to announce that "traditional native policies" of the Orange Free State and South African Republic would be administered. This could be anything from whippings to shootings to forced labour on white-owned farms.
They also claimed the right to confiscate stock and produce owned by black and coloured peasant farmers. And so, as Boer incursions came closer to Calvinia, fearful and angry farmers asked Esau to make representations to the authorities that they be armed.
The British were in a quandary. There was some sympathy for the plight of the farmers. But there was also anger from local Boers that Esau and his followers actually had the temerity to ask to be armed.
The authorities, of course, chose to appease the Boers. Later, when an attack again seemed imminent, Esau again went to the magistrate to demand guns. Again he was turned down. Instead, he was given a few swords.
Esau took the swords, and together with his followers, manufactured some home-made weapons. Then he formed a town militia, with whom he practised a series of drills and secret signals in the event of a Boer attack.
Esau did not stop writing letters in which he expressed his frustration at not being set up with arms. Calvinia's intelligence agent praised him for a very good idea, but said he was not in a position to grant him the permission he required.
His hopes of a private army of sorts dashed, Esau did the next best thing: he formed an intelligence network covering a large area of the Northern Cape. And it was extremely effective. The Boers, of course, had an intelligence network of their own, and began to hear of Esau's activities. Describing him as "the most poisonous Hottentot in Calvinia", they resolved to get him and punish him.
On January 10, 1901, a Boer commando under the leadership of Charles Nieuwoudt galloped into the town. Even though they had no guns, the coloured community fought back courageously against the invaders, with just sticks and stones. But it was an unequal fight, and in the end, they took a terrible beating, with a number of them being shot.
Esau was arrested and thrown into jail, and in an address from the town square, Nieuwoudt, who declared himself the new magistrate, announced a number of new laws to the town's coloured community.
These included paying taxes or working on white farms, having to be indoors during curfew hours or run the risk of being whipped, and the banning of British patriotic songs. Esau's supporters ignored the laws, and marched through the town singing hymns. A furious Nieuwoudt responded by choosing three people at random and whipping them.
He also pulled Esau out of jail, had him whipped, smeared with dung and offal, and chained to a pole in the searing midday heat. The next day, he was brought before Nieuwoudt and sentenced to 25 lashes for having spoken out against the Boers and for "having attempted to arm the natives".
Esau was tied to a tree, from where the lashes were administered. He was then untied, and when he fell to the ground, he was kicked. For the next two weeks, he was repeatedly whipped and kicked, and stoned.
Finally, on February 5, he was placed in leg irons, tied between two horses and dragged a kilometre out of town. There he was shot.
About 3 000 mourners attended his funeral. According to oral tradition, a sudden thunder shower, followed by a windstorm resulted in the Union Jack that had been draped over his coffin being ripped to shreds. Boer-supporting newspapers in the Cape tried to argue that the Boers had killed Esau in self-defence. But no one believed them.
A British newspaper wrote that Esau had "suffered cruel martyrdom for no worse a crime than loyalty to the British". In Cape Town, the Cape Times newspaper was even more forthright: it carried a report of his death at the hands of "inhuman brutes" who, they said, should be "arraigned for murder".
There was no "coloured" group of people in this period. Whites, particularly Boers, used the derogatory term "Hottentots" to describe "mixed-race" people.

It's time to embrace the power of cultural democracy, incompleteness and conviviality
Chikezie Uzuegbunam Jan 17 2020
As humans living in a deeply polarised world, we often carry stereotypes and assumptions in our heads about people who are different from us and those who do not fit into our preconceived ideas about the way things should be. One plausible reason may be due to a lack of proper knowledge and open-mindedness needed […]
The end of French economic dominance in West Africa

It has taken 75 years, but finally the francophone countries of West Africa have broken free from one of the last vestiges of French colonialism – the CFA franc.

Crime plagues every sector of SA
Yusuf Abramjee Jan 15 2020
It's the New Year, but it's the Same Old Story: crime plagues every sector of South Africa, and South Africa acts as if it is powerless to stop it. The non-stop onslaught of lawlessness is terrifying: murders, robberies, rapes, kidnappings, hijackings, white-collar crime…the list goes on. Every day there are 58 murders in our country. A woman is raped every 10 minutes. In the time […]

I suppose most crime writing is urban. There's not a lot... certainly not in Australia, people don't often set books in the countryside.
Peter Temple Quotes. 9quotes.com, 2018. http://www.9quotes.com/quote/peter-temple-361047, accessed 24 April, 2019.
When I'm writing fiction, I'm sort of interested by the fact that somehow or other I can have the feeling of actually seeing things through someone else's eyes.
I have been writing since 11th grade, and have a few features that have almost gotten off the ground. I really want one of my features to come to life.
Writing monsters is fun, and it's easy. When I want one, I just reach under the bed and pull it out, kicking and screaming.
I write all the time, whether I feel like it or not. I never get inspired unless I'm already writing.
When I first began to write, I was writing on bass, because I was thinking more Public Image, more dub.
The real difference between literature and pulp is the kind of emotional responses they elicit. Dan Brown can't pierce your heart. Patricia Cornwell can't make you read a sentence twice and then look sightlessly out of the window.
I like having a plot; I like characters with a reason to get up in the morning.
In everything I've written, the crime has always just been an occasion to write about other things. I don't have a picture of myself as writing crime novels. I like fairly strong narratives, but it's a way of getting a plot moving.
There's a high point in your career, and then people get bored; they want something else to come along.
As far as I am concerned, I write novels, and other people can do the labelling.


My dad taught me many things over the past 21 years. From riding a two-wheeler to shooting a 22-caliber pistol, we've covered the bases of any normal father-daughter relationship (or maybe just normal when your dad's a nationally ranked marksman). But the most important thing my father taught me can be traced back to the 2004 baseball season.
Like any angsty teen, I ignored and put on a smile, pretending I agreed (or even listened). Then, as if my dad's words were some Harry Potter-like spell, the Sox started to step up their game. They started some serious winning streaks (remember their ten straight victories in September?), and started restoring hope throughout Red Sox Nation. I still doubted their chances of making it into the World Series, but my dad stayed strong and believed they would win.
And they did. One cold October night, I witnessed my first lunar eclipse and my first Red Sox World Series victory– all with my dad by my side.
Ever since then I've kept my dad's words of wisdom in the back of my mind. My dad made me realize that we will all struggle on occasion, whether in school, in work, or in sports, and we all make mistakes. But through positive thoughts and positive actions (and a strong support system), we can easily overcome any obstacle that comes our way. Even if that obstacle is an 86-year curse.

1. The Purpose of this Agreement.
This Agreement sets forth the terms under which I make certain copyright and patent rights available to you for your implementation of the Specification. Any other capitalized terms not specifically defined herein have the same meaning as those terms have in the W3C Patent Policy, and if not defined there, in the W3C Process Document.
2. Copyrights.
2.1. Copyright Grant. I grant to you a perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright), worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, copyright license, without any obligation for accounting to me, to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, distribute, and implement the Specification to the full extent of my copyright interest in the Specification.
2.2. Attribution. As a condition of the copyright grant, you must include an attribution to the Specification in any derivative work you make based on the Specification. That attribution must include, at minimum, the Specification name and version number.
3. Patents.
3.1. Patent Licensing Commitment. I agree to license my Essential Claims under the W3C Community RF Licensing Requirements. This requirement includes Essential Claims that I own and any that I have the right to license without obligation of payment or other consideration to an unrelated third party. W3C Community RF Licensing Requirements obligations made concerning the Specification and described in this policy are binding on me for the life of the patents in question and encumber the patents containing Essential Claims, regardless of changes in participation status or W3C Membership. I also agree to license my Essential Claims under the W3C Community RF Licensing Requirements in derivative works of the Specification so long as all normative portions of the Specification are maintained and that this licensing commitment does not extend to any portion of the derivative work that was not included in the Specification.
3.2. Optional, Additional Patent Grant. In addition to the provisions of Section 3.1, I may also, at my option, make certain intellectual property rights infringed by implementations of the Specification, including Essential Claims, available by providing those terms via the W3C Web site.
4. No Other Rights. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, no other express or implied patent, trademark, copyright, or other property rights are granted under this Agreement, including by implication, waiver, or estoppel.
5. Antitrust Compliance. I acknowledge that I may compete with other participants, that I am under no obligation to implement the Specification, that each participant is free to develop competing technologies and standards, and that each party is free to license its patent rights to third parties, including for the purpose of enabling competing technologies and standards.
6. Non-Circumvention. I agree that I will not intentionally take or willfully assist any third party to take any action for the purpose of circumventing my obligations under this Agreement.
7. Transition to W3C Recommendation Track. The Specification developed by the Project may transition to the W3C Recommendation Track. The W3C Team is responsible for notifying me that a Corresponding Working Group has been chartered. I have no obligation to join the Corresponding Working Group. If the Specification developed by the Project transitions to the W3C Recommendation Track, the following terms apply:
7.1. If I join the Corresponding Working Group. If I join the Corresponding Working Group, I will be subject to all W3C rules, obligations, licensing commitments, and policies that govern that Corresponding Working Group.

IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS THE SPECIFICATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS." The entire risk as to implementing or otherwise using the Specification is assumed by the implementer and user. Except as stated herein, I expressly disclaim any warranties (express, implied, or otherwise), including implied warranties of merchantability, non-infringement, fitness for a particular purpose, or title, related to the Specification. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY FORM OF INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. All of my obligations under Section 3 regarding the transfer, successors in interest, or assignment of Granted Claims will be satisfied if I notify the transferee or assignee of any patent that I know contains Granted Claims of the obligations under Section 3.

10.1. Agreement. "Agreement" means this W3C Community Final Specification Agreement.
10.2. Corresponding Working Group. "Corresponding Working Group" is a W3C Working Group that is chartered to develop a Recommendation, as defined in the W3C Process Document, that takes the Specification as an input.
10.3. Essential Claims. "Essential Claims" shall mean all claims in any patent or patent application in any jurisdiction in the world that would necessarily be infringed by implementation of the Specification. A claim is necessarily infringed hereunder only when it is not possible to avoid infringing it because there is no non-infringing alternative for implementing the normative portions of the Specification. Existence of a non-infringing alternative shall be judged based on the state of the art at the time of the publication of the Specification. The following are expressly excluded from and shall not be deemed to constitute Essential Claims:
10.3.1. any claims other than as set forth above even if contained in the same patent as Essential Claims; and
10.3.2. claims which would be infringed only by:
portions of an implementation that are not specified in the normative portions of the Specification, or
enabling technologies that may be necessary to make or use any product or portion thereof that complies with the Specification and are not themselves expressly set forth in the Specification (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing technology, compiler technology, object-oriented technology, basic operating system technology, and the like); or
the implementation of technology developed elsewhere and merely incorporated by reference in the body of the Specification.
10.3.3. design patents and design registrations.
For purposes of this definition, the normative portions of the Specification shall be deemed to include only architectural and interoperability requirements. Optional features in the RFC 2119 sense are considered normative unless they are specifically identified as informative. Implementation examples or any other material that merely illustrate the requirements of the Specification are informative, rather than normative.
10.4. I, Me, or My. "I," "me," or "my" refers to the signatory.
10.5 Project. "Project" means the W3C Community Group or Business Group for which I executed this Agreement.
10.6. Specification. "Specification" means the Specification identified by the Project as the target of this agreement in a call for Final Specification Commitments. W3C shall provide the authoritative mechanisms for the identification of this Specification.
10.7. W3C Community RF Licensing Requirements. "W3C Community RF Licensing Requirements" license shall mean a non-assignable, non-sublicensable license to make, have made, use, sell, have sold, offer to sell, import, and distribute and dispose of implementations of the Specification that:
10.7.1. shall be available to all, worldwide, whether or not they are W3C Members;
10.7.2. shall extend to all Essential Claims owned or controlled by me;
10.7.3. may be limited to implementations of the Specification, and to what is required by the Specification;
10.7.4. may be conditioned on a grant of a reciprocal RF license (as defined in this policy) to all Essential Claims owned or controlled by the licensee. A reciprocal license may be required to be available to all, and a reciprocal license may itself be conditioned on a further reciprocal license from all.
10.7.5. may not be conditioned on payment of royalties, fees or other consideration;
10.7.6. may be suspended with respect to any licensee when licensor issued by licensee for infringement of claims essential to implement the Specification or any W3C Recommendation;

10.7.8. shall not be considered accepted by an implementer who manifests an intent not to accept the terms of the W3C Community RF Licensing Requirements license as offered by the licensor.
10.7.9. The RF license conforming to the requirements in this policy shall be made available by the licensor as long as the Specification is in effect. The term of such license shall be for the life of the patents in question.
I am encouraged to provide a contact from which licensing information can be obtained and other relevant licensing information. Any such information will be made publicly available.

SFG Awardees
Fischer Receives 2017 Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology Dansgaard Award
Hubertus Fischer will receive the 2017 Dansgaard Award at the 2017 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, to be held 11–15 December in New Orleans, La. The award is given in recognition of the awardee's research impact, innovative interdisciplinary work, educational accomplishments (mentoring), societal impact, and other relevant contributions and to acknowledge that the awardee shows exceptional promise for continued leadership in paleoceanography or paleoclimatology.
I am pleased to introduce Hubertus Fischer as the Dansgaard Award winner, in recognition of his groundbreaking contributions and community leadership in ice core science.
Ice core pioneer Willi Dansgaard started in physics and expanded into chemistry, climate, and environmental sciences. Hubertus followed a similar path. He started in physics (University of Heidelberg, with side trips to Karlsruhe and Oregon). His postdoc at UC San Diego and a research position at the Alfred Wegener Institute expanded his range in climate and environment. Now a professor at the University of Bern, he focuses on the chemistry and physics of ice cores as archives of climate change and global biogeochemical systems.
Hubertus's team has quantified changes in atmospheric greenhouse gases including their isotopes over timescales and with resolution previously impossible. Hubertus has also developed precise ice core records of chemical aerosol tracers that constrain changes in source and atmospheric circulation. His technical innovations include the use of new mass spectrometric techniques, continuous-flow ice melting, and ice sublimation analysis systems. He has shown that every Dansgaard-Oeschger event in Greenland had an Antarctic counterpart and has illuminated source budgets and exchange processes of greenhouse gases.
Hubertus is a generous community leader. A longtime steering committee member of EuroPICS and IPICS (European/International Partnerships in Ice Core Sciences), he was recently elected cochair. He also cochaired the International Geosphere–Biosphere Programme (IGBP)/Future Earth project Past Global Changes (PAGES). He provided leadership for the European EPICA ice-coring project and the new "Oldest Ice Project," which seeks to recover million-year-old ice from Antarctica.
Still accelerating at midcareer, Hubertus is among the world's leaders in paleoclimatology, a community builder, and a warm and generous supporter of students and fellow researchers around the world. Willi Dansgaard would be thrilled to see his pioneering legacy carried on and expanded so elegantly by Hubertus.

Stimmwerck est un ensemble vocal musique classique composé de quatre hommes et spécialisé dans la redécouverte de la musique peu connue de compositeurs de la renaissance de langue allemande.

Histoire
Stimmwerck est fondé à Munich, en 2001, par quatre chanteurs spécialistes des ensembles vocaux classiques ; les deux ténors, Gerhard Hölzle et Klaus Wenk, la basse Marcus Schmidl, et contre ténor Franz Vitzthum.

Objectifs
Leur nom reflète la structure et des objectifs de l'ensemble. « Stimmwerck » vient d'un terme allemand du , souvent utilisé (par exemple par Michael Prætorius) pour désigner un groupe d'instruments du même type mais de différentes tessitures, similaire au terme anglais « consort d'instruments ». Ainsi, l'ensemble est un « Stimmwerck » de voix d'hommes dans les différentes tessitures de formation classique, à l'écoute les uns avec les autres en compétence.

Leur travail en commun est centré sur la redécouverte et la promotion envers le public des compositeurs les moins connus de la Renaissance et de musique ancienne des régions germanophones. Pour y parvenir, ils collaborent étroitement avec des musicologues comme Ian Rombaut, Inga Mai Groote et Katelijne Schiltz et s'engagent activement dans la recherche. Les résultats prennent la forme d'enregistrements, d'exécution en public lors de concerts, de tournée et au cours de festivals de musique ancienne. Ils donnent également en août, trois jours durant, leur propre festival annuel, le Stimmwercktage, à Adlersberg, près de Ratisbonne ; lequel est rediffusé par la Bayerischer Rundfunk.

Concerts
Stimmwerck donne des concerts en Allemagne et à l'étranger. Ils sont les invités d'honneur aux :
 Laus Polyphoniae, Anvers
 Festival Bach de Leipzig
 Festival de musique ancienne « Resonanzen » de Vienne.

Stimmwercktage
Depuis 2005, l'ensemble est l'organisateur d'un festival annuel, qui se tient au début du mois d'août, nommé le « Stimmwercktage » (journées Stimmwerck) à Adlersberg près de Ratisbonne. En utilisant les technologies modernes, comme les ordinateurs portables et les projecteurs à la place des manuscrits papier, les œuvres d'un compositeur de la renaissance sont le sujet de conférence en langue allemande, par des musicologues et des interprétations par Stimmwerck.

Au cours des années précédentes, des œuvres de compositeurs suivants ont été étudiés :
 2015 Michael Prætorius et Arvo Pärt
 2014 Heinrich Isaac
 2013 Orlando di Lasso
 2012 Les codices de Trente
 2011 Manuscrit de Jodocus Schalreuter (Ratsschulbibliothek Zwickau Mus. Ms. 73)
 2010 Thomas Stoltzer
 2009 Leonhard Paminger
 2008 Ludwig Senfl (1486–1542/43)
 2007 Anonymus
 2006 Leonhard Lechner (c.1553–1606)
 2005 Jacob Obrecht (1457/1458 – fin juillet, 1505)

Discographie
Stimmwerck a enregistré entre autres pour les labels Christophorus Records, Aeolus et Cavalli Records et a reçu des éloges pour leur travail de la presse critique. Leurs premiers disques, étaient dévolus aux œuvres de Heinrich Finck (1445–1527) et Adam de Fulda (1444–1505). Chacun d'eux a reçu la plus haute note possible (5 étoiles) dans Goldberg Magazine.

Écoles Des Écoles is a trans-disciplinary network of European higher education performing arts schools. The schools support each other in the development of curricula sharing their experiences in modern teaching and learning methods. In joint research and reflection on the theatre of the future, teachers, students and graduates experience each other at eye level as explorers:"
Statement from École des Écoles in relation to University of Theatre and Film Arts, Budapest.
It is with great concern that École des Écoles, a multidisciplinary network of European higher education performing arts schools note the events taking place at the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest.
Since 1 September 2020 a regulation has come into force, according to which the renowned college will in future be managed by a foundation with a board of governors appointed by the government. In the opinion of the protesting students and staff, this foundation is so close to the government that they see the independence of teaching, science and art as being endangered. Against the background of a constantly growing influence of political interests on broad areas of public life, we call on the political actors to respect the freedom and independence of university education. Democracy, autonomy and academic freedom are the cornerstones of every modern university and École des Écoles is proud to stand in solidarity with the students and teachers of the University of Theatre and Film Arts as they seek to maintain these fundamental principle.

Q: How to forget a MacOS bundle to prevent invalid installation Background
I'm developing some Mac OS daemon. Some times I'm starting it as a application in my repository to test some things. So far so good. I'm able to create installation package which can be used by others no problems at all.
Problem
When I'm using installation package sometimes daemon is not copied to desired path. In installation logs I can see flowing statement:
....
installer: Installation Check: Passed
installer: Volume Check: Passed
installer: Bundle com.mybudle.id will be relocated to /Users/itsMe/repos/MySourceCodeRepo/Debug/MyDaemonApplication.app

Basically installer noticed that in some directory there is bundle with same bundle id, so it decided to skipped its installation in required location.
Now since xml which starts my service is using location defined in installation package, service start fails.
Question
Is there some way to inform system to forget my private version of the bundle, without deleting it?
I need a way to prevent installer skipping installing some bundles since it found other version of it.

A: Ok. I've found good explanation of the problem:
https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/219123/pkgbuild-created-package-does-not-install-correctly
So to fix it I've generated myapp_istaller.plist like this:
pkgbuild --analyze --root "./my_product_root/" myapp_istaller.plist

Then I've change value for BundleIsRelocatable to false inside that file.
And finally I feed this plist file when creating a package:
    pkgbuild --root ${PKG_SUBDIR} \
         --component-plist ./myapp_istaller.plist \
         --identifier ${PKG_IDENTIFIER} \
         --version ${APP_VERSION_FULL} \
         --ownership recommended \
         --scripts scripts \
         pkg1/output.pkg

and problem solved. Bundle is intalled only on location defined by installation package.

Casino campaigners make final push
By Lin Shu-huei, Lin Chia-chi and Jake Chung / Staff reporters, with Staff writer
Supporters and opponents of the proposal to build a casino resort in Matsu yesterday made their separate pushes ahead of a referendum on the issue slated for today.
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) called on the residents of Matsu to vote "no" to the casino.
The government has no standing laws or regulations concerning special casino areas, with no designated agency within the government governing the regulation of casinos and gambling and no amendment to the Criminal Code, he said in a post on his Facebook page, adding that it was hard to imagine that the government would be capable of establishing and managing a casino.
The people of Matsu should prevent their home from becoming a governmental experiment by being brave and voting against the casino, Su added.
Former DPP chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) also voiced her opposition to the plan, saying she hoped Matsu residents would consider the protection of Matsu's ecology and way of life so that future generations would have a better environment to grow up in.
Control Yuan President Wang Chien-shien yesterday also expressed a similar view, saying Matsu residents should have the courage and vision to vote against the project.
Lienchiang County Commissioner Yang Sui-sheng (楊綏生) said yesterday that he personally had no interest at all in gambling and that he had only hoped to attract the central government's attention to the lack of resources the county suffered from with the casino project.
"I'm not afraid of getting wet now that I'm in the water," Yang said, adding that he firmly believed the only way the archipelago would be able to develop tourism was through the casino-building project and that he would stand firm against opposition to the casino because of that belief.
"If it were not for the fact that we were unable to negotiate with the central government and obtain funds needed for road construction, we would not have stooped to the level of using the casino building project as a bargaining chip," Yang said, adding that "despite the fact that we are holding the referendum, the central government has not responded in any way."
In response to criticism that his support for gambling on Matsu was akin to "opening Pandora's Box" and that no matter what the outcome of the referendum, he would be remembered as a supporter of gambling, Yang said: "My personal honor is not important in the face of this issue."
"A person who was against gambling asked me how I would live with my conscience if some Matsu residents lost everything they had in terms of material wealth and even lost their families due to the casino in Matsu and I said to him that I am a man of faith and believe in karma," Yang said.
According to the Lienchiang County Government, among the 7,762 people eligible to vote in the referendum today, about 50 percent — or 3,500 voters — would cast their vote and the difference between those who are for and those who are against the casino could be as little as 100 votes.

The concept of average as the ideal became an epidemic in the twentieth century. We developed standardized production lines, standardized intelligence exams, and cataloging rules to create ideal metadata descriptions for standard library resources. RDA's emphasis on flexibility and relationships, as well as its readiness to be expressed in linked open data, opens the door to its use in describing rapidly evolving resource types and making them discoverable on the Semantic Web. Stanford's recent Mellon grant, Linked Data for Production, will explore the transition of traditional technical services workflows to linked data and RDA's place in that process.

Local Basketball Prodigy Shot Dead in Miami
By Andrew V. Pestano and Nathalia Ortiz	• Published November 13, 2017 • Updated on November 14, 2017 at 7:33 pm
The City of Miami Police Department is requesting information regarding the killing of Malcolm Nicholas III, a local basketball prodigy.
Nicholas, 18, was fatally shot in the area of Northwest 5th Avenue and Northwest 17th Street in Miami's Overtown neighborhood on Sunday.
The details of the shooting were unknown.
One of Nicholas' former coaches, Ricky Gomez, said Nicholas had played basketball his whole life, starting for Miami Senior High School before he transferred to Mater Academy Charter Middle and High School.
He then went out of state to the Believe Academy postgraduate basketball program in Tennessee, from which he was set to transfer to a bigger school.
Nicholas, described by his former coach as a good influence and the kind of person you would want your own children around, was visiting his grandmother in Miami.
"Our thoughts and prayers to the family/friends of Malcolm Nicholas," Believe Academy wrote on Twitter. "Our hearts go out to you. You will truly be missed!"
Nicholas had several offers to colleges, including from Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, Eastern Michigan and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
"RIP Malcolm Nicholas, former Mater Academy SG shot this weekend. He was lined up with D1 offers. Massive potential, all gone because of senseless gun violence," local blogger Joel Franco wrote on Twitter.
Anyone with information is urged to call the City of Miami Police Homicide Unit at 305-603-6350.

A sex doll can be the perfect fit when you're looking to switch up your masturbation routine, live out a sexual fantasy about a favorite celebrity or porn star or role-play some erotic exploration with a partner. Whatever your motivation, Spencer's has a wide range of sex dolls, blow up dolls, and love dolls to suit all your sexual needs. One of the best parts about these erotic companions is that with a blow up sex doll, there's no position too outrageous and nothing is off limits. These blowup dolls can play an active role in your sex life, and are willing to do anything you desire.
Straight couples that become more comfortable introducing sex toys into the bedroom may be interested in experimenting with role reversal using a strap-on harness. Strap-on pleasure can typically be one-sided; however, the Cheakson adjustable strap-on features an internal dildo for dual pleasure. The harness is also adjustable for better fit and comfort.
Whether you're away on a business trip or absent due to a fun weekend away, distance is no factor for sexual intercourse with the Kiiroo Pearl + Onyx Couple. The Pearl (intended for the female; which is a very effective vibrator) and the Onyx (a Fleshlight, essentially) are bluetooth compatible and react to each other's movements due to its touch sensitive skin and capacative technology. The toy recreates long-distance sex in the most authentic way possible, and is the first of its kind. Bdms Toys
Dildos are obliquely referred to in Saul Bellow's novel The Adventures of Augie March (1953): "....he had brought me along to a bachelor's stag where two naked acrobatic girls did stunts with false tools".[25] A dildo called Steely Dan III from Yokohama appears in the William S. Burroughs novel The Naked Lunch (1959).[26][27] The rock band Steely Dan took their name from it. Gspot Vibrators
A sex shop (also called adult shop, erotic shop or adult book store) is a retailer that sells products related to adult sexual or erotic entertainment, such as vibrators, lingerie, clothing, pornography, and other related products. The world's first sex shop was opened in 1962 by Beate Uhse AG in Flensburg, West Germany, and sex shops can now be found in many countries and online. Sex shops are part of the sex industry. In most jurisdictions, sex shops are regulated by law, with access not legally permitted to minors, the age depending on local law. Some jurisdictions prohibit sex shops and the merchandise they sell. In some jurisdictions that permit it, they may also show pornographic movies in private video booths, or have private striptease or peep shows. Also an adult movie theater may be attached. There are also many online sex shops selling a variety of adult content such as sex toys, pornographic magazines, pornographic films and fetish wear etc. These types of shop are often favoured by the consumer as they have less overheads and can be perused within the comfort of the home. Their discreetness is also appealing to some.[1] Adameve Coupon

There are no specific laws against using or buying sex toys at any particular age, but there are laws restricting the purchase of pornography. Although the age of consent is 16 in Canada, an age of 18+ is required to purchase or view pornography. Most sex shops sell adult videos, which means that most sex toys remain strictly in the hands of adults.[citation needed] Screaming O

Anal plugs come in a variety of materials, including glass, PVC, and silicone. Each style offers different sensations, as well. For example: glass is a firm, stiff material that can be used with temperature play, while silicone is more flexible and gives a more "realistic" feel to its user. The most important part of choosing a butt plug is to understand exactly how your body reacts to different toys. Extra-large anal plugs definitely aren't for everyone, and some may even prefer vibrating anal plugs. But regardless of what you want from your sexual experience, you can find an anal plug to meet your needs right here at Spencer's. And just like dildos, you should never mix silicone lube with silicone butt plugs; if you're unsure of what your butt plug is made of, then water-based lubricant will be your best bet.

Reacting to the ongoing development of "sex robots" or "sexbots",[23] in September 2015, Kathleen Richardson of De Montfort University and Erik Billing of the University of Skövde created the Campaign Against Sex Robots, calling for a ban on the creation of anthropomorphic sex robots.[24][25][26][27] They argue that the introduction of such devices would be socially harmful, and demeaning to women and children.[25]
The corollary to men avoiding sex toys is that penises are majorly underserved when it comes to selection. For that reason, most of these models have clitorises in mind. On the plus side, there's a wide variety—from vibrators that double as high-end jewelry to couples' toys to prostate pleasurers, we've found tested-and-proven picks for giving everyone involved the gift of orgasm.
I needed to replace my original Fatty Patty and searched high and low for one. Found this at Spencers at a great price. Unfortunately the great price meant less product. My original Patty was the perfect BBW. Large and comfy. This item from Specers is just a glimmer of the original. Two of the three holes are ok not great. The mouth is so small that you can fit your finger in but not any other extremity. The physical size is much less. This doll may be Patty in her very early years before she developed into the full sized woman she is today. At appro. two thirds the original size she should be called "Average Patty". If you truly want a big girl find the original Fatty Patty and pay the extra bucks to get a true BBW women!
A 1982 attempt to import a consignment of sex dolls into Britain had the unintended consequence of ending the law against importing "obscene or indecent" items that were not illegal to sell within the UK. Having had the dolls seized by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise officers, David Sullivan's Conegate Ltd. took the case all the way to the European Court of Justice, and won in 1987.[6] Britain was forced to lift its stringent import prohibitions dating from 1876, because for imports from within the European Community they constituted a barrier to free trade under the terms of the Treaty of Rome.
Not only does the new Magic Wand mean you're no longer tethered to a wall, but it's also lighter and quieter while still maintaining the same powerful rumbly vibrations women have been relying on for 47 years. Attachment heads for more direct clitoral stimulation and penetration are also sold separately, so you can always pimp your wand out later like an after-market car stereo. And don't worry, there's still a plug-and-play option if you neglected to charge it but need an orgasm, like, now.
In Japan, sex dolls are known as "Dutch wives" (ダッチワイフ datchi waifu), which now refers to relatively inexpensive dolls. Their name originates from the term, possibly English, for the thick rattan or bamboo bolster, used to aid sleep in humid countries by keeping one's limbs lifted above sweaty sheets. Orient Industry is considered to be the leading manufacturer of high-end silicone dolls in Japan,[13] which started using another term "love dolls" (ラブドール rabu dōru) around 1998 to distinguish their dolls from the image of inflatable dolls associated with the term "Dutch wife".[14] The term has stuck and is now used generally to refer to any high-end product. There is a business, Doru no Mori (Doll Forest) in Tokyo, that rents love dolls and rooms to male customers.[15][16] In March 2007 the Japanese daily Mainichi Shimbun newspaper reported that there are also rental businesses that bring the dolls to the customer's home, and that the specialist love-doll magazine i-doloid has a print-run of 10,000 copies per issue.[17] Butt Toys

This toy is awesome. The shape is intuitive, easy to hold, and provides a steady vibration. Sometimes, when the tip is directed at your clit it can feel a bit on the pointy side, but basically, this vibe is a winning way to make coming during penetration much, much easier. Better yet? It's endorsed by none other than Alicia Silverstone herself, and was rated the most eco-friendly sex toy for it's phalate-free material and eco-friendly packaging. Butterfly Dildo

John Wilmot, the 17th century English libertine, published his poem Signor Dildo in 1673. During the Parliamentary session of that year, objections were raised to the proposed marriage of James, Duke of York, brother of the King and heir to the throne, to Mary of Modena, an Italian Catholic princess. An address was presented to King Charles on 3 November, foreseeing the dangerous consequences of marriage to a Catholic, and urging him to put a stop to any planned wedding '...to the unspeakable Joy and Comfort of all Your loyal Subjects." Wilmot's response was Signior Dildo (You ladies all of merry England), a mock address anticipating the 'solid' advantages of a Catholic marriage, namely the wholesale importation of Italian dildos, to the unspeakable joy and comfort of all the ladies of England: 50 Shades Of Grey Sex Toys

In February 2008, a federal appeals court overturned a Texas statute banning the sales of dildos and other sexual toys, deeming such a statute as violating the Constitution's 14th Amendment on the right to privacy.[33] The appeals court cited Lawrence v. Texas, where the Supreme Court of the United States in 2003 struck down bans on consensual sex between gay couples, as unconstitutionally aiming at "enforcing a public moral code by restricting private intimate conduct." Similar statutes have been struck down in Kansas and Colorado. Alabama is the only state where a law prohibiting the sale of sex toys remains on the books.[34]
A classic sex toy, dildos offer sexual pleasure through penetration of the vagina or anus. Keep in mind that not all dildos are meant for anal pleasure; make sure the toy features a flared base to keep the toy safely secured. Dildos come in all sizes, from average length to length that is much, much longer. If this is your first time getting a dildo, then you would most likely be better off getting a smaller dildo to start, unless you have sexual experience and you're certain that you want something larger. Spencer's also offers suction cup dildos, so that they can stick to smooth, solid surfaces—so you can make your shower much steamier. Or, if you want something similar to human anatomy, then our wide selection of realistic dildos may just be exactly what you're looking for.

Sex toys are illegal in India.[18] Selling sex toys is a punishable offense under section 292 of Indian penal code, as sex toys are considered an "obscene" product.

The Hitachi Magic Wand is referred to as the "Cadillac of vibrators" for a reason. It's big, it's powerful, and it's reliable. Originally created to relax muscles, the wand quickly gathered a cult following as a vibrator for its undeniable ability to relax people (especially those with clits) in other ways. While the sex toy works wonders for solo play, it's fun to use in a relationship to help a partner with a vagina reach orgasm during penetrative sex. For those into BDSM, the magic wand is often used by the dominant on the submissive partner to bring the sub to orgasm while they're bound or tied up.
