Delaney Releases Statement on Death of Warren Weinstein
The White House announced today that Warren Weinstein, who had been held hostage by al-Qa'ida, was killed earlier this year. Weinstein, a Montgomery County resident, was captured in Pakistan in 2011.
U.S. Rep. John Delaney has released the following statement about the loss of Weinstein:
"The loss of Warren is devastating, a tragic event that we must never forget. Warren was a beloved husband, father and grandfather. Warren's family has endured his long captivity with incredible strength, dignity and resolve. At this heart-rending time, April and I send our prayers to Warren's family, including his wife Elaine, daughters Alisa and Jennifer and the rest of his family. Over the last two years, I feel so fortunate to have developed a relationship with them as we've pursued efforts to bring Warren home. I wish I would have had an opportunity to meet Warren. People in his life all say Warren was a warm friend to people around the world, a man who served our country as a member of the Peace Corps and at USAID. Warren represented the very best of our country; he was a gentle and loving man who dedicated his career to building a better world. We need more Warren Weinsteins in the world.
"Warren was taken from his family and held hostage by terrorists who hold no decency and no humanity. Their actions will not deter us for one second in our efforts to defeat them and bring them to justice.
"I'm saddened, disappointed and outraged that our government was not able to bring Warren home. Today's news is a personal tragedy for Warren's family but also a sobering national security and government failure. As Warren's representative, I feel like his country failed him in his greatest time of need. I'm determined to ensure that Warren's story is not forgotten, that we get to the bottom of why Warren wasn't found and how he was killed, and that we drive tangible improvements to our hostage response process from an intelligence and resources coordination perspective. I have been working on legislation to reform, streamline and upgrade our ability to respond to hostage taking, which I plan to introduce soon, in the hope that more families don't suffer the same fate. It is essential that the review of this tragic accident be a true investigation that focuses on the events surrounding Warren's death and the intelligence efforts that were deployed to locate him. Our national security and intelligence response to hostages must improve and improve quickly.
"My thoughts and condolences are also with the family of Giovanni Lo Porto, an aid worker held hostage with Warren Weinstein."
Weinstein Family Statement, Memorial Grows
Following the announcement by White House officials on April 23rd that American humanitarian aid worker Warren Weinstein, who was abducted more than three and a half years ago in Pakistan, has died in captivity during a U.S. counterterrorism operation, Elaine Weinstein issued the following statement on behalf of the family: "On behalf of myself, our […]

WASHINGTON, D.C. — GTCbio's seventh annual Vaccines: All Things Considered conference is scheduled for Nov 9-10 in Washington.
This conference promises to be the one-stop destination for valuable updates and exposure on all aspects of vaccine research, development, regulations and policy. The research and discovery of vaccines to fight globally prevalent diseases has been a major focus of the pharmaceutical industry's biggest players for decades.
The pharmaceutical world has recently been rocked by the pending expiration of patents on several major blockbuster drugs. How does this affect funding for vaccine research and development? What will be the path forward? How will the generic drug industry affect the vaccines market? These are just a few of the questions the Vaccines conference will address and answer.
Recent advances in the discovery of novel vaccines that target not only traditional infectious diseases (such as malaria, influenza, AIDS, meningitis, etc), but non-infectious diseases (such as cancer, allergies and even smoking) as well, prove to be both innovative and promising for the industry.
The vaccines conference is the perfect forum to network with colleagues and gain valuable information on these exciting next generation vaccines. ??In the spirit of truly considering all things, GTCbio's vaccines conference also brings together leading government officials, such as representatives from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Food and Drug Administration, to provide a first-hand perspective into current U.S. vaccines policy and regulation.
Updates on the pandemic and biodefense policy as well as the National Vaccine Plan will be addressed and discussed.
GTCbio organizes conferences, workshops, training courses and tradeshows specifically for the biomedical and biopharmaceutical industries. GTCbio is a subsidiary of Global Technology Community, a privately held company founded in 2002.

|SV: output from jvm AND wljspc does not report FAILED
|Wed, 29 Aug 2001 06:56:15 GMT
Conor, Thanks for response. I found out that it is NOT a general 'java' task problem. I called a 'Hello World' printing both at stdOut and stdErr and it worked OK. The problem seems to be specific to using 'java' task to run weblogic jspc. The problem is both with 1.3 and 1.4. I also tried using the new wljsp task, which gives error messages from the compiler. A problem with that is, that it reports SUCCESSFUL even if there are errors. This problem is with WindowsNT and Ant1.3 with optional.jar. I haven't tried that with 1.4 yet, because it requires other changes to my build. I use wljspc this way: <target name="JSPcompile" depends="compile"> <wljspc src="${jspdir}" dest="${tempjspc}" package="_tmp_war_Websalg.jsp_servlet"> <include name="**/*.jsp" /> <classpath> <pathelement path="${jsp.path}" /> </classpath> </wljspc> </target> regards Hardy > -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- > Fra: Conor MacNeill [SMTP:email@example.com] > Sendt: 28. august 2001 11:37 > Til: email@example.com > Emne: Re: output from jvm > > Hardy, > > Please try the new Ant 1.4 beta and see what result it produces.

I dont really want to pay much for it because I'm probably not going to use it much but I figured if I had a mico, mind as well get a card. So anyways, I just want one thats reliable and wont corrupt saves or anything. I also wouldn't mind a Micro SD slot but I dunno if it really matters. I want one thats a normal GBA color but then again I guess that doenst matter but I dont want it to stick out(Like white or somthing) So I dont know what to go with. Iv got like 4 choices. Elink EFA Linker 1 and II Elink 1G EZ Flash IV I dont know what to go with. I was kinda just gunna pop online and buy the cheapest one but I alo want compatibility so what do you think?

Jonas Kopp- Anklad
Written by Samantha McCallum
March 22, 2012 8:50 pm
Fresh out of Argentina, comes fresh tech house to our ears. If you have been overloaded with sugary chart-friendly house, simply starved of the dark side, or forever addicted to dance music, fear no more. Jonas Kopp's minimalistic approach shows off the mix of all instruments in the song.
The wide spacing and amount of emphasis of low equalising on the kick drum, creates depth, whilst the hi-hat layers over like a thin sheet of ice on a frozen lake. Complimenting both parts are distorted strings that phase in and out and synthetic effects that echo.
Anklad demonstrates that Jonas has a flare for filling as much space of a rave with hypnotic grooves. It's as though he has focused on sound engineering and acoustics aspects, in order to capture peoples minds. Maxumi was fascinated to learn that Jonas uses the same approach in live shows. For Jonas 2012 has kicked off with remixes. In May, he will be touring Europe. It is predicted that 2012 is his year.

Introduction to Breast Augmentation with Moorgate Aesthetics
Under or Over the Muscle for your Breast Enlargement Surgery
When your Breast enlargement surgery has started, and the surgeon has made the incision, a pocket is created in which your implants will sit. When it comes to the exact position of the implant,
there are a couple of options open to you and the surgeon.
The first option is to place the implants over the muscle. This is usually chosen as a preferred option when there is excessive tissue that needs to be filled. This may be as a result of pregnancy or losing weight.
The second option, the surgeon may choose to place your implants behind the muscle. If you do not have excess skin to fill, then this could be the right option for you. It also provides a pad of fat over the implant giving a very natural feel to the breasts after your breast enlargement surgery.
You may be wondering how the plastic surgeon decides which option is right for you? These options are considered after talking with you to find out exactly what look you want from the implants, and after taking a series of measurements of the breast and breast area.

When you are known by most as the last festival of the year, you've got to make it a weekend to remember and go out with a bang. That's exactly what Bestival did this year; with an array of acts from up-and-coming indie bands to old favourites to world-famous names, the festival lived up to its name and delivered a fantastic festival experience.
With Bestival it's not just all about the music. There is so much going on and even if you happened to miss every single live musician, you'd still have a great time. There was something for everyone over at Robin Hill. We had the main stages including the Big Top tent and the Space port and the Ambient Forest which had lots of quirky and cool things to offer. Although a few things had changed this year in terms of the size, it didn't take away from the vibe that regular Bestival-goers have grown to love.
The diversity of acts that played last weekend clearly shows how eclectic Bestival is from The Cure and The Human League to Craig David and Lady Leshurr. The perfect acts for closing the weekend were Sean Paul and Wiz Khalifa on the Sunday who definitely had you wanting to stay for a few more days. What we love about this festival is it willingness to showcase the up and coming and less known acts and the ability to throw the best weekend-long party. Musical discoveries were definitely made and below are some of favourite acts from the weekend to look out for in the future.
- Billie Marten
- Asylums
- Izzy Bizu
- Xylaroo
- Frances
- Oh Wonder
- Alice Jemima
Don't miss out on all the fun and make sure you keep updated with Bestival.net for tickets for 2017!

MASS and GRAVITY
Gravity is the central dilemma of the theory of everything. The nature of mass is also somewhat obscure. In the paragraphs to come, I will offer a suggestion for the unexplained Planck constant and gravity. I will also propose an explanation for the nature of the mass of objects.
By definition mass is the resistance of an object to acceleration. This property is also called inertia. The true nature of mass is not completely understood. The standard model of particles postulates that subatomic particles by themselves do not possess mass. Mass is defined only by inertia. The Newton equation for inertia is F = ma, where m is mass of an object and F is the force needed to accelerate it with the magnitude a.
Newton's law of universal gravitation denotes that objects attract each other. The force of attraction is directly related to the objects' gravitational mass.
Einstein's general theory of relativity, however, postulates that massive bodies curve space-time. Objects tend to follow straight paths in space. Since space is curved around massive bodies, the trajectories of objects follow a curved line. He also showed that gravity and acceleration are alike. What we interpret as gravity is in fact the movement of the objects along a straight line within an altered geometry of space-time. The curvature of space is proportionate to the mass of the objects involved. It is astonishing that these seemingly different properties of objects, namely inertial mass and gravitational mass, are equivalent. This phenomenon is called the equivalence principle. At this point, let us look at the main existing theories that attempt to explain inertia and mass.
Higgs Mechanism
The most popular description of the origin of mass is the Higgs mechanism. As mentioned before, the standard model of particles postulates that particles by themselves do not possess mass. The equation for mass acquisition through Higgs mechanism is given as follows:
mi = Γ ћω2c/2πc2
where Γ is the Abraham-Lorentz damping constant. Ћ is Dirac's constant, and ωc is the cutoff frequency (the frequency at which a mass respond to and starts oscillating). Please note that, everything else being fixed, according to the Higgs mechanism, mass is directly related to the cutoff frequency of the wave-particle.
The Higgs postulate assumes a universal field, called a Higgs field, which is carried by the Higgs boson. Higgs boson is a hypothetical particle that supposedly introduces mass to other particles through the Higgs mechanism.
"The Higgs idea comes directly from the Physics of Solids. A solid contains a lattice of positively charged crystal atoms. When an electron moves through the lattice, the atoms are attracted to it, (therefore slowing it down) causing the electron's effective mass to be as much as 40 times bigger than the mass of a free electron." (Miller 1993)
This concept has been extended to define the nature of mass acquisition by particles. The Higgs particles supposedly create crowding and traffic in an accelerating particle's path. Although they are not affecting the homogenous motion of particles, they somehow resist against particles' acceleration. This, it is proposed, is the reason particles resist changing trajectory and acceleration.
Recently the scientists at CERN (the European Organization for Nuclear Research) have observed a particle consistent with the long-sought Higgs boson.
On July 4, 2012, at the year's major particle physics conference, ICHEP 2012 in Melbourne, the ATLAS and CMS experimenters presented their latest results in the search for the long sought Higgs particle. Both experiments observe a new particle in the mass region around 125–126 GeV.
"The results are preliminary but the 5 sigma signal at around 125 GeV . What we're seeing is dramatic. This is indeed a new particle. We know it must be a boson and it's the heaviest boson ever found," said CMS experiment spokesperson Joe Incandela. "The implications are very significant and it is precisely for this reason that we must be extremely diligent in all of our studies and cross-checks." (CERN Press Office 2012)

The end of the world according to the Mayan calendar, which was expected five years ago, come 21 December this year, writes a number of media with reference to American conspiracy.
As reported rusdialog.ru conspiracy theorists said that doomsday date, December 21, was decoded correctly, but the year in which mankind will be in danger, should not 2012 and 2017. It is argued that the end of the world will be associated with the appearance of planet Nibiru.
If all these theories were close to the truth, humanity would have to survive several global cataclysms in the second half of 2017 — in particular, for the last time quite "popular" end of the world date was 19 August, 23 September and 19 November. In all these cases, conspiracy theorists have also stated that the cause of the disaster was supposed to serve as Nibiru in some cases it was a question of collision with her, and in the other — that the outer body will come into the gravitational pull of the Earth and cause earthquakes and other natural disasters on it. It is worth noting that in fact the existence of this planet does not only correspond to modern scientific ideas about the Solar system, but are implied and most of the Sumerian-Akkadian mythology, from which its image was allegedly taken. Not to be confused with the so-called Nibiru "Planet x" or "Planet number nine", the existence of which was theoretically justified two years ago, let observe it directly scientists still failed.
Also among the most conspiracy scenarios "Kona light" flashes alien invasion and the rise of the isskusstvennoy intelligence.
Some psychologists believe that in the eve of new year holidays the interest of people of a certain mindset to such predictions increases even more.

Blueline Blueberry Harvester
Eaton's hydraulic system helps Blueline reduce harvest loss by up to 50 percent
"Reducing harvest loss by up to 50 percent in the proof of concept test gives our customers confidence they can expect a return on their investment soon after purchasing the machine," said Gregg Marrs, President, Blueline Mfg. Company.
Blueline Mfg. Company began in 1958 as Groenig's machine shop located in the heart of Washington State's Yakima Valley apple industry. Blueline has gained a reputation as a creative manufacturer of innovative farm equipment.
Today, Blueline has embraced a mission to be the leader in design and development of farm machinery that adds efficiency and additional profit to its growers' operations. Looking to enhance its blueberry harvester's hydraulic machinery, Blueline turned to Eaton's innovative products and technologies to enhance its line of blueberry harvesters.
Working to fulfill the company's mission of building efficient equipment, Blueline turned to Eaton when developing a new blueberry harvester. Working through a compressed timeline from development to build, Eaton was challenged to design a complete hydraulic solution that would improve driver ergonomics and reduce the amount of blueberries that drop on the ground – thus creating waste – during harvest.
To meet grower needs, the machine also required leveling and traction control solutions to keep it level and moving forward across varied terrain and growing conditions.
Eaton worked with Spencer Fluid Power and Blueline to develop an integrated hydraulic system for a new blueberry harvesting machine with enhanced driver ergonomics. Eaton's Application and Commercial Engineering (ACE) team was on-site at Blueline for initial evaluation and design specification. The team partnered with Spencer Fluid Power to quickly design a hydraulic system featuring DuraForce pumps and piston motors for propulsion, Eaton's X20, 420 Series open loop piston with gear pump, and hydraulic integrated circuit (HIC) manifolds used to control steering, conveyor and fan functions.
Additionally, Eaton's Pro-FX electronic controls and software, including HFX programmable controllers and VFX programmable displays, allow harvester operators to take control of every system function from one control screen, removing the challenges of manually operating harvest machinery.
Eaton and its ACE team also implemented a traction control, four-wheel drive system for the machine, allowing operators to maintain proper grip through inclement conditions. To ensure the harvesting machine remains level while operating, Eaton incorporated an auto-leveling feature, which helps minimize losses during harvest.
After the machine was built and test operations began, Eaton and Spencer Fluid Power went into the field and made on-site adjustments to accommodate the machine's increased loading.
"Eaton and Spencer Fluid Power developed the hydraulic system for a fully electronic Blueline machine that reduced harvest losses by up to 50 percent on its proof of concept test," said Gregg Marrs, President, Blueline Mfg. Company. "Reducing harvest loss by as much as 50 percent in the proof of concept test gives our customers confidence they can expect a return on their investment soon after purchasing the machine,"
Fully equipped with Pro-FX electronic controls and software, Blueline blueberry harvester operators can control all machine functions from the driver's seat, providing enhanced driver ergonomics. The machine includes electronic steering and a fully consolidated hydraulic system with fan controls that are also operable from the touch of one screen.
"Innovative products like Eaton's Pro-FX electronic controls and software provided the technology to develop a fully integrated hydraulic system for Blueline's latest harvesting solution," said Patrick Nolan, area sales manager, Eaton. "With the strength of our X20 and DuraForce product offerings, our Eaton team was able to respond quickly and provide a hydraulic system that delivers immediate results to Blueline and its grower customers."

Willie Robertson: Duck Dynasty Star Joins Fox News Channel As Contributor
- Updated: April 1, 2016
Willie Robertson, CEO of Duck Commander and star of reality TV series Duck Dynasty, has joined the Fox News Channel as a contributor, the network announced Thursday afternoon.
The outspoken conservative starts his new position on Monday.
Robertson will also host "The Willie Robertson Podcast," a weekly 45-minute show for Fox News Radio, in which he will weigh in on various issues, including politics, celebrities and his own take on faith and family.
The topics would be a natural for Robertson, who has made no secret of his Christian beliefs and conservative values.
A frequent guest on Fox, he endorsed Donald Trump for president in January. "I do like me some Trump, I've got to admit," Robertson said last September at the Oklahoma State Fair.
The CEO of Duck Commander, a Louisiana-based company that makes hunting merchandise, Robertson is also an author and is an executive producer of A&E's "Duck Dynasty," which is now in its ninth season.

Cristiano and Zlatan will meet tonight in Lisboa's Estadio da Luz for the first leg of their mano a mano contest to claim a place for their nation in Brazil 2014. From what I can gather from media coverage of the build-up, Ibra and Ron will face each other in a series of individual challenges to test their goal-scoring, tekkers, strutting, and chest-puffing prowess. The rest of the Portuguese and Swedish squads will sit on the side-lines hollering encouragement, reacting with exaggerating displays of awe and disbelief, and brandishing cards with marks out of 10 after each round. Kind of like a fusion of the annual NBA Slam Dunk Contest and the final of Strictly Come Dancing.
I haven't lived in the British Isles for a while now, but I believe that the football pundits of the land have finally conceded that maybe, just maybe, Ibrahimavic is a decent footballer after all. In direct opposition to the opinion of the rest of the footballing world, the little Englanders that frequent the studios of the BBC, ITV and Sky Sports had for years ignored all evidence to the contrary and continued to peddle the line that "he doesn't do it when it matters". That can be read of course as, "he doesn't do it against English teams in the early rounds of the Champs League". The antipathy towards Zlatan appears to originate from a lacklustre display in a 2006 European tie against Arsenal. Minds were made up back then and the famed British island mentality did the rest.
To his credit, the big Swede tried everything to win over his Anglo-Saxon doubters. He knocked in 38 Champions League goals (Rooney has 29 and Van Persie just 22 by the way), and 280 in total while winning 9 league titles in 10 seasons with 6 different teams in 4 separate countries. Many of those goals were important and a similar number were stupidly good. Yet when, exactly a year and a day ago, Zlatan warmed up for a friendly against the might of the three lions, true admirers were still difficult to find in the English press pack.
You can imagine the scene in the home dressing room in the Solna Arena that night as a despondent Ibra, confidence almost shot, close to tears, sought advice from his coach:
"Why don't these British guys like me boss?"
"Don't you worry Zlatan son. Let your football do the talking. Score against them and they'll have to appreciate your talent"
"I don't know boss, I've scored against their teams before and they still say mean things"
"OK then, this time score twice against them. Or a hat-trick even – can you imagine it!"
"I guess I could do that. Or maybe I should score 4 just to be sure. And for the final one I'll execute an acrobatic overhead kick from more than 30 yards out that no other player on the planet could pull off. What do you think boss?"
"Sure, why not big man. Hansen and Dixon will still query the positioning of the left back, but let's give it a go anyway."

Mobile, payments and security predictions for 2017
The universe of mobile and connected devices is expanding at a rapid rate, leading to the proliferation of data transmission between applications, devices and enterprise systems. According to a recent IDC report, there are more than 1.4 billion smartphones worldwide, with that number expected to increase to more than 1.8 billion by 2020. Additionally, there are currently 6.4 billion "internet of things" connected devices, and by 2020, it is expected that there will be 20 billion connected devices. While this mass adoption presents tremendous opportunities for organizations to innovate, the deluge of data being generated also makes these devices, applications and back-end systems prime targets for cybercriminals.
Enterprises across most industry verticals, including retail and the public sector, are recognizing and adapting to changing consumer preferences. These include an increase in engaging and transacting business via mobile devices, entering personal, financial and confidential information into mobile browsers, and trusting that applications – which enable great personal convenience – will pose no personal threat. However, in 2017 and beyond, organizations will be tasked with responding to the changing technological landscape, to protect their brand and reputation by securing both the privacy of their customers and their sensitive data.
End-user authentication measures will expand with new technologies such as biometrics and 3D Secure to add trust and security in an interconnected world
While fingerprint scanning was the first biometric authentication technology to reach mass adoption, it is just the beginning. In 2017, we will see iris scanning and facial recognition technology being used more regularly as forms of authenticating that users are who they say they are. For example, as the health care industry increasingly incorporates mobile-based applications, wearables, and connected medical and health care devices, it is critical that staff are able to identify patients with a higher degree of certainty. Biometric verification solutions can provide the high degree of identity assurance and authentication needed for health care applications.
In addition, multifactor authentication is helping to increase the integrity of correctly identifying the person by applying multiple different sources of verification simultaneously. Combining biometric authentication with other types of authentication provides that added trust to help reduce fraud and the costs associated with fraud, as well as increase the quality of patient experience and trust.
While authentication technologies help verify the user, they do not solve the issue of potentially making the sensitive data accessible to others. Organizations must think about not only how to authenticate users, but also how to secure highly sensitive personally identifiable information and other potentially "toxic" information while still providing access to that data for analytics, insights and innovation. Format-preserving encryption, which does not break the value of data – the relationships, context, format and meaning – but de-identifies sensitive information, complements authentication technologies to enable secure access.
Data privacy moves away from check-box compliance to form a positive partnership with cybersecurity
Most enterprises have focused on data breach protection measures with varying degrees of success, sometimes accepting calculated risks as attacks tended to primarily yield payment card information. However, cybercriminals are increasingly targeting personally identifiable information (PII) with the intent to steal and monetize identities. With connected applications and devices – such as connected home, car, medical devices and more – there is a dawning realization that a security breach can cause physical harm to the individual person. Here too a data-centric approach to protecting sensitive data at the data level mitigates risk and neutralizes the effects of a cyberattack.
At the same time, there is increasing focus on just how much data privacy consumers are knowingly and unknowingly giving up with today's technologies. The European Union General Data Protection Regulation harmonizes the data privacy regulations of the 28 member-states, but also has worldwide impact upon enterprises doing business with the EU customers no matter where they are located. Encryption and pseudonymisation technologies can be used to comply with the security requirements in Article 32 of the GDPR, and help mitigate the risk of a data breach by removing the obligation to report a data breach and avoiding the very high penalties associated with noncompliance. While Europe, the Middle East and Africa have taken the lead in data privacy regulation with GDPR, other regions will soon follow.
Data-centric security will become broadly recognized as an innovative technology for the secure movement and use of data assets across enterprise ecosystems
Enterprise IT organizations are struggling with balancing the pursuit of leveraging data insights and innovation with also protecting against cyberattacks and assuring regulatory compliance. Mobile provides an influx of PII, which adds to the security challenges as sensitive data moves through the data lifecycle from the source to the data lake. Finding solutions that apply to legacy applications and also work in the cloud and with big data, mobile and IoT technologies will become more critical than ever as the traditional network perimeter has moved to the customer's pocket.
In 2017, organizations will protect data end-to-end, from point of capture to storage, from beginning to end of the lifecycle, enabling the implementation of new technologies to support the business, and to keep legacy applications and business processes unchanged wherever that's needed. A data-centric security approach that leverages proven and standardized format-preserving encryption and tokenization solutions will allow for flexible processing and analytics on the data, mitigating the risk of a data breach and closing many of the gaps that attackers would exploit.
Organizations should be thinking about new mobile technologies and innovations on the horizon and start preparing now for how security will need to be integrated. The ever-increasing volume of data will certainly continue its climb in 2017, and it will only become more critical for organizations to protect this valuable asset from cybercriminals and ensure user data is safely encrypted. Whether it is authentication technologies, the increasing number of connected devices at everyone's fingertips or GDPR, a data-centric approach to security can ensure that privacy and data protection will not be compromised in the name of innovation.

Cousin Brett & Kaily being adorable.
The cousins zoning and R digging for gold. *sigh*
Horribly awful pic, but the first family dance was announced and Evan actually was able to convince C to join him. Jon said that she had a moment where she paused and he could tell her eyes were welling up, but she shook it off and they had a blast. My mom decided that was the time to faint, so that was the only shot I got as I turned to catch her.

Web Trend Alert: Flat Design
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
Whether you are on your phone, on your computer, skimming a magazine or watching TV, you will come across different types of graphic design. If you look closely, you will find that designers will often follow a certain trend in each graphic. Just like clothing trends, design trends will come and go, and often make a return. Most recently, "flat design" has made another entrance into the design world.
What is flat design?Flat design is very distinctive looking compared to other forms of design. This design takes on the form of earlier types of design, which lack any sort of special effects. For instance, a flat design-based website will not have shadows or any features that would make the site look 3-dimensional.
The overall look is very 2-dimensional, like the first video games on Nintendo gaming systems. The only difference between the graphics in Nintendo then and the flat design graphics now is that they look more appealing today and less pixilated.
With the simplistic style, typography is very much highlighted throughout the design to catch the viewers' attention. You will also find a different color scheme with flat designs. The layout contains multiple hues, often much brighter and eye-catching.
What influenced this trend?Some designers swear by this type of design, although they may not have a huge say in the world of graphic design. Although last week, Apple announced the upcoming release of the IOS 7 software update for iPhone and iPad products. Apple has a major influence on trends in technology, and the talk quickly sparked a design trend alert throughout the internet world after they decided to change the layout of the iPhones and iPads.
When the update eventually launches, the graphics on the Apple products will be flat designs. Those who are "Team Android" may not know that IOS 6 has dimension in its design, so this update will completely revamp the look of the devices.

The time has finally come around when girls are looking for dresses and boys are scoping for dates. Prom is supposedly one of the most magical nights according to all the high school rom coms. However, not all of the student body agrees that this night deserves the dazzling reputation that it has.
"Although prom is great it's definitely important to consider whether the price is worth it or not for you," said senior Jerry Swider.
Not only does prom come with purchasing a dress, tickets, dinner, and pictures, it comes along with hair appointments, the nail salon, and makeup routines. And you can not forget about corsages and boutonnieres.
According to several students the actual dance itself does not meet expectations, however the events surrounding prom are "lit".
"Prom is an American tradition and over the years has become overrated," said senior Philip Nauman who attended prom as a junior. "Seniors become much too stressed about what they wear or who they go with. Prom isn't much different than homecoming. It's the after prom and after after prom that get lit!"
Whether prom night will meet your expectations or not, it is important to make the best of it.
"Prom is a time to celebrate the end of your high school career," said senior Logan Briner. What better way to celebrate than to dance the night away with your friends."
Prom is a great way to celebrate the end of high school with people that you will have fun with. Make it a night you will look back and smile at.

Trump's embrace of Russia making top advisers wary
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump's persistent overtures toward Russia are placing him increasingly at odds with his national security and foreign policy advisers, who have long urged a more cautious approach to dealing with the foreign adversary.
The uneasy dynamic between the president and top aides has been exacerbated by the revelation this week of an extended dinner conversation between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the recent summit in Germany. The previously undisclosed conversation, which occurred a few hours after their official bilateral meeting, raised red flags with advisers already concerned by the president's tendency to shun protocol and press ahead with outreach toward Russia, according to two U.S. officials and three top foreign officials.
The officials spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations.
Deep divisions are increasingly apparent within the administration on the best way to approach Moscow in the midst of U.S. investigations into Russian meddling in the American presidential election. Trump has repeatedly cast doubt on the conclusion of U.S. intelligence agencies that the Russian government sought to tip the election in his favor and has dismissed investigations into the possibility of collusion between his campaign and Moscow as a "witch hunt."
Meanwhile, he has pushed for cooperation between Moscow and Washington on various matters including the raging conflict in Syria.
But some top aides, including National Security Adviser Gen. H.R. McMaster, have been warning that Putin is not to be trusted. An intelligence officer-turned-politician, Putin is known for steering discussions in his own favor.
The three foreign officials who have spoken with top Trump advisers described a disconnect, or "mixed signals," between Trump and his team over Russia, highlighting a lack of a clear policy. U.S. officials echoed that sentiment, with one saying diplomats and intelligence officials were "dumbfounded" by the president's approach, particularly given the evidence of Russia's election meddling.
McMaster expressed his disapproval of Trump's course to foreign officials during the lead-up to his trip to Germany. The general specifically said he'd disagreed with Trump's decision to hold an Oval Office meeting in May with top Russian diplomats and with the president's general reluctance to speak out against Russian aggression in Europe, according to the three foreign officials.

It was hardly a surprise when Time magazine announced in mid-December that "The Protester" was its 2011 Person of the Year. After all, outbursts of discontent had made headlines during each of the preceding months. Nor did stories of dramatic protest end when Time made its choice, for just as reports of the magazine's decision began to circulate, so did news of angry residents in the South China village of Wukan evicting the Communist Party's representatives from their community and stories of rallies in Moscow by Russians fed up with Putinism. In light of 2011's status as a year that will be remembered in part for its protests, the following question is worth asking. Have recent events, from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street, confirmed or contradicted standard ideas about the nature of collective action developed to make sense of earlier Years of the Protester, such as 1789, 1968, and 1989? As someone who has written a lot about Chinese social movements and is helping plan a team-taught course on global protest that UC Irvine's History Department will be offering in the spring, here are five points I think any full answer to this query should include:
1) 2011 Reminded Us of How Often Economic Issues Set the Stage for Protests
It is tempting to think that protests can be divided into those sparked by material concerns and those inspired by ideas, but the events of 2011 showed once again that economic and ideological factors are often intertwined. Anxiety over inflation as well as a desire for increased political freedoms and disgust with official nepotism brought people to Tahrir Square in January, just as they brought people to Tiananmen Square in the spring of 1989. And in 1789, the backdrop to the French Revolution was provided not just by Enlightenment ideas but also by a fiscal crisis.
2) We Saw Again That Those Doing Relatively Well Can Be Among the Most Militant
Another commonsensical idea about protest that history does not support is the notion that the most disadvantaged segments of a country's population will tend to be the ones to rise up against official policies and call for change. In 2011, as in past Years of the Protester, this was only sometimes the case. Wukan is in a relatively well off rather than relatively poor part of China, for example, and the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian that was rocked by big environmental rallies last summer is even more prosperous. In India, meanwhile, the most important demonstrations of the year were anti-corruption rallies involving members of the country's middle class. History is filled with examples (think 1968) of rising expectations and frustration among those at the fringes of a country's elite (a category that often includes university students) driving social movements forward.
3) 2011 Was Another Year When Economic Disaster Did Not Always Lead to Action
The global financial crisis and national economic downturns inspired protests in many places in 2011, from New York to Athens, but some countries doing very badly economically, such as Burma, did not see a dramatic uptick in social unrest. This is not unusual. In 1989, there were African countries worse off economically than Czechoslovakia and East Germany that did not experience popular upheavals, and in 1968 fairly affluent nations were often hotbeds of protest.
4) 2011 Showed That Oppression Isn't Always Enough to Get People onto the Streets
If economic problems alone do not give a clear guide to where protests will occur and where they won't, the same goes for degree of government repression. In 2011, as in previous Years of the Protester, there was unrest in some places where those in power treat the populace in particularly abhorrent ways (think Syria) but not in other places with equally harsh or harsher systems of rule (think North Korea). One reason for this is that, as everyone from Tocqueville to analysts of China's Tiananmen rising have stressed, authoritarian governments are most susceptible to large-scale protests when fissures open up within the elite due to ideological splits or factional divides, something that has not happened so far in North Korea.
5) We Learned Again that New Media Change Some Things, But Not Everything
In commentaries on this year's protests, much has been made, for good reason, of the role that "new media" played in mobilizing people for action and helping struggles such as the Arab Spring spread across national borders and the Occupy movement spread across the United States. Two things, though, are worth noting about this. First, very similar claims about the impact of the "new media" of the day were made in 1789 (when pamphlets and newspapers were among the recent innovations in communication) and in 1989 (when relatively novel technologies such as satellite television broadcast and fax transmission were credited with aiding activists and helping carry the anti-Communist tide of the year from country to country). Second, the events of 2011 underscored how effective and sometimes absolutely necessary it still can be, even in a thoroughly wired world, for groups of people to carry out time-honored kinds of actions, such as massing together in public squares and calling on those in power to do a better job of living up to their professed ideals.
In short, though 2011 was a precedent-setting and history-making year for protest in many, it was also one that conformed at many points to familiar patterns. From the Tunisian rising in January to the UC Davis sit-ins of the fall to the Moscow rallies near Christmas, digital devices and distinctively twenty-first-century issues were often important in 2011 protests. But this shouldn't blind us to the fact that many of the specific tactics and types of grievances that mattered throughout 2011 were ones that would have been instantly recognizable to participants in previous Years of the Protester.

Bengali cuisine would not be complete without Shutki ( dry fish), especially Shutki Bhorta. This recipe is by Bina, and it is definitely spicy and yummy! Shutki bhortas are served with steaming plain white rice. I personally like to mix in a bit of daal to the bhorta and rice. Enjoy!
The dry red chillies can be substituted with green chillies.

Sporting Life. Reports on Andre Fabre's hopes for Esoterique at Deauville races 31st July 2016, organised by FRANCE GALOP.
Sporting Life reports
"Andre Fabre is delighted with the shape of Esoterique in her attempt to regain her Prix Rothschild crown at Deauville on Sunday.
After having captured the Group One prize in 2014, the six-year-old missed last year's race in favour of a shot at the Prix Maurice de Gheest, in which she finished second.
Esoterique has this season failed to hit her best form in two starts, having been beaten at odds-on on her return at Deauville before trailing home last in the Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot."

Welcome to vsatips
…why a new about me?
This is my current 'about me' page. I have an older one which I updated periodically by appending to it, and it's now grown too long to be useful for its original purpose. It is however a nice chronological journal of my journey beginning vsatips from the very beginning. It describes some of the challenges I faced setting up this site and using a brand new website building engine. I was completely new to WordPress.com, and relatively new to the world of websites too since I'd only worked with 2 or 3 sites prior to joining WordPress. My main experience for this endeavor was with Weebly, which is another great solution for non-tech people to use in building websites. Here's a link to my original 'about me' page in case anyone's interested in reading it. And here's a link to Weebly, if you're interested in seeing what a different website builder is all about.
Last, here's a link to the event in my life which brought me down this road in the first place…about the time a Botnet took over my family's home network.
About Me & the Evolution of vsatips
Oftentimes I'm frustrated by not being able to accomplish some simple little thing using today's technology.
Through an unusual series of events I've achieved the status of 'tech guru' amongst my network of family and friends (while maybe not the most highly skilled one since we are a very tech oriented family…I was certainly one of the most enthusiastic!)
I'm intractable when faced with a tech problem. I spend countless hours pursuing answers to things most people would just give up or ignore. But finding a solution is, for me, only half the battle. Remembering it is equally challenging!
Many years ago I addressed this by writing little sets of instructions and reminders to myself after I'd finally arrived at what I deemed to be the best solution to my currently vexing situation. Those reminders morphed into 'how to emails' which I ended up occasionally sending out upon request to friends or family members. This led to both my discovery of Evernote which I describe next and to the situation I deem most responsible for my decision to begin my vsatips website.
What occurred was this. Occasionally people began asking for my help to address their own tech problems that they were struggling with. I'm pretty certain that I always agreed to help. But, more often than not our communications occurred over long distances. Because I couldn't sit down next to them and show them things in person, I ended up writing long step-by-step tutorials with diagrams, screenshots and other illustrations that I created from scratch. This began using up more and more of my time.
At some point I realized that many times the tutorials I was currently writing were almost identical to earlier ones I'd done. I knew I needed a better solution so that I wasn't constantly 'recreating the wheel,' so to speak. After mulling it over I decided that having my own website was the best solution. I was banking on the notion that vsatips would help to free up some of my time, and I was right! Creating vsatips let me regain some sorely needed 'me' time while simultaneously continuing to allow me to help those closest to me too. That is, in a nutshell, how vsatips was born!
The Evernote Factor
Ultimately my earliest seemingly invaluable tidbits of knowledge grew and grew to the point where I needed a good solution to manage the amount of data I was generating. My 'solutions' ended up finding a more permanent home as notes within notebooks in Evernote. Evernote is an amazing note taking app I discovered shortly after I began using an iPad as my go-to device. I became a huge Evernote fan!
Sometimes the solutions I shared with family and friends were taken from my Notes in Evernote. You can share complete notes from Evernote with anyone having their own internet device. But, back then I learned that occasionally my notes weren't very easy to read on different devices. That was in the early days of Evernote. Nowadays Evernote is much more user-friendly across all platforms (and much better than sharing my actual notes with non-users too!)
The first real blog post I ever wrote (above)
My Earliest Foray Into Blogging
Because sharing notes in the early days of Evernote had less than satisfactory results, I sought out a better solution. That's when I stumbled upon Squidoo. Squidoo, which is now defunct, was a blogging community heavily populated with beginners striving to learn just like I was. I joined their community officially in August 2013. In mid-2014 Squidoo officially shutdown. Members were encouraged to transfer all of their written content to HubPages, which operated a very similar platform.
Starting All Over at Hubpages
To say that I wasn't thrilled initially to be joining HubPages would be a massive understatement! I felt forced into joining Hubpages if I didn't want to abandon all the work I'd done and the content I'd created the past year. I felt forced into undertaking a huge new learning curve too…which was necessary in order to master their entirely different system of doing things.
All this occurred on the tails of a huge problem I'd just experienced at Squidoo…which in retrospect, was coloring my overall negative frame of mind a lot. I'd been completely and utterly frustrated because I had just received huge accolades for a post I'd worked long and hard on…it was my first major recognition achievement in the Squidoo Community…only to discover that a day or two later that same post was 'locked' by Squidoo's robots.
Below is a screenshot of the Squidoo post I received recognition for…this is the link to it on HubPages
Locking a post was the worst action possible for a blogger. It meant that Squidoo was accusing you of something really bad…although what exactly I was being accused of was never spelled out for the me. It meant that my post was, for all practical purposes removed because I couldn't edit, update, or repost it. No one else in the world could ever access it either. My award, which had led to the most incredible feelings of confirmation for the path I'd chosen was and still feeling the amazing positive effects from up the that moment in time…was simply obliterated. I was crushed. There appeared to be no course of action for me despite my spending days looking into the matter. In case you missed it above, here's a link to that article now at it's current home on HubPages.
You can read more about that in my 'about me' section…which (sadly) has become quite a rambling treatise. In hindsight Squidoo was deeply engaged in the 'shutting down' process. They had not yet informed their community of this however. What happened is that apparently they'd accorded too much power to their newly designed robots (which I suspect were created to automate administrative tasks that they couldn't cover but which were necessary to keep their doors open.) But their robots weren't well-designed and they malfunctioned on a massive scale.
This phenomenal failure in turn actually contributed a lot to the speed of their demise, which I believe was much sooner than even anyone 'in the know' had anticipated. I and my 'well received' post were literally caught in the crossfire! In the end I was able to find a human who was able to reverse the lock and restore my post and the accolades I'd received…but it required such an intensive campaign on my part that it left me feeling really bitter.
That was my frame of mind when I received the news that I either needed to join the HubPages community or abandon all my hard work completely. But since then I've grown to really appreciate HubPages! They have some amazing resources available to bloggers…especially to new bloggers, and a wonderfully supportive community. In retrospect…I sorta wish I'd started out there to begin with.
Loss of Control & Too Much Reworking of Previously Finished Work Led Me to Reconsider If I Really Needed that Supportive Environment Anymore
The end result and how things stand today are that some of my content is still there. Most of it is my early writing, and some still suffers from both inexperience and all the discrepancies and minor errors that cropped up when everything was transferred from Squidoo.
I worked for a really long time getting all those posts fixed up and 'polished.' But it took a lot of effort, I was forced to recreate all my images, and the final product is less desirable in my opinion. Whilst I was doing all that, I wasn't writing anything new…it was a rule I had to make for myself. Because I'd much rather be writing new things than cleaning up old ones!
In the final analysis I felt that what had been successfully transferred there ended up being a random, varied assortment of articles which you can verify for yourself here. And my HubPages persona was still far from polished. Ultimately, I decided that this piecemeal approach really served no one well, so that's why I created this new website.
The Birth of VSATIPS
In my mind, I was striking out on my own. I never really realized (at least until much later) that WordPress.com too offered an amazing community experience…I was completely oblivious of that aspect.
I decided upon the name of my new site because 'vsa' my initials, sounded catchy combined with 'tips.' I still like it almost 3 years later, so the name can't be all bad! I knew I wanted to write about technology and staying safe while using it. That was the main motivation for me to begin writing online initially…you can read more about the havoc that a botnet wreaked upon my family's lives here.
My goal for vsatips is to provide…
…tips for technology, and sometimes for life.
That was my original intention. But originally I'd intended to write about my other interests too. Some of those include fashion, style, design, travel, jewelry making and silversmithing.
Overtime however, I discovered that adding those topics here sort of detracted from my main objective for vsatips. Plus that, I think I got a little carried away (as I usually do)…and tech topics began to dominate my everyday thinking!
So in the end I created another website, vsatrends, (my tag line is trends for life…) to have a venue specifically for artistic and design related of topics. By doing so, I gave myself a place that I could be a little freer in a stylistic sense…I could experiment with themes and things without worrying that I'd lose all my hard work!
One More Sort of Ironic Event
As vsatrends grew and developed its own following, I began worrying a lot more about doing a lot of testing there too! I apparently harbor a deep-rooted fear that in a few simple keystrokes I might wipeout everything…and that that would be a bad thing! So, I created a 3rd site appropriately named vsatests…and a year later even a 4th!
vsatests (above)
Believe me when I tell you that even though I'm providing a link to it, it is not worth your time going to visit! It's really a bit of a mess…which at least tells me that I'm making good use of it! I've been using it primarily to test out coding as I'm learning HTML.
