Microsoft Patents Changing User Privileges Temporarily On The Fly
from the sudo? deptSomeone who prefers to remain anonymous points out that the USPTO, in its infinite wisdom, has granted Microsoft a patent (7,617,530) on a method for "elevating" a user's rights temporarily. Basically, it's for a non-admin user who wants to do something (e.g., install a program) that requires admin access, without having to logout and re-login as the admin. As the submitter notes, this sounds like "sudo" or any number of other tools that have been around for ages. Can we submit the following xkcd comic as prior art/evidence of obviousness?

Over the years, we have created workout plans for various fitness tests, but one thing holds true: Practice taking the test you have to pass on a regular basis. And if you want to crush it — do it twice. That is right. Do a Double PFT. One of our favorite Navy SEAL / EOD / Diver PST prep workouts is the Double PST arranged in the following manner:
The Navy PST (Special Ops / Special Warfare) 500yd swim 10 min break / transition to PT pushups 2 min 2 min rest situps 2 min 2 min rest pullup — max reps 10 min break transition to run 1.5 mile time run
stretch / hydrate 5 min
Repeat the PST in reverse order:
1.5 mile run pullups, situps, pushups 500yd swim
The toughest part of this PST for most people is the transition from PT to running — see related article on PFT Transition. Another way to repeat in reverse order is to do the PT section first then run 1.5 miles — then finish with the swim.
When you have to train for a fitness test, it helps to practice the test more than anything else. When you practice the test, you can relieve much of the testing anxiety by simply saying this is just another "Thursday Workout". Plus you learn to make a strategy that works best for you. How to hydrate? What to eat prior to the test? What to eat the night before? How to warmup / transition from one exercise to another? All these questions can be answered by simply making the test another workout day. Then if you really want to make it easy — do it TWICE!
This Double PST is quickly becoming an all-time favorite and something we practice every other week for a few months of the summer.
Final Tip: You may want to take a day off PRIOR to doing this Double PST. It is a tough workout.

May 28 (Habakkuk 3:17-18)
Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,the produce of the olive fail
and the fields yield no food,the flock be cut off from the fold
and there be no herd in the stalls,yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
I will take joy in the God of my salvation. (ESV)
It does not always work out the way we want. Sickness comes. Death takes a loved one. Accidents happen. Loss occurs. Lies, betrayal, and pride take their toll on us, even when we have done what is right. The Christian faith, more than any other program of thought or philosophy, is a realistic way to handle the inevitable setbacks and hardships of life.
Christians rejoice in the Lord and take their joy in the God of their salvation. They do not ignore suffering or pretend that it is less painful than it is, but in times of sickness, we find joy in the Lord. In death we rejoice in Him. In every moment or extended seasons of distress, we praise Him and find our life and hope in Him.
How is that possible? Why should we respond to difficulties in this way and not in the countless ways the world offers? It is simple. This is what Jesus did. He faced execution for what He had not done, and yet He kept His gaze focused on His Father. And He is the One Who came back from the dead and offers His power to all Who accept Him. When it comes to tragedies of my life or even the daily discomforts, I am going to do what He did.
Lord, You are the
source of my joy. In You I live and move
and have my being. I can find life
nowhere else, so help me to stop seeking it there. May I be valiant in hardship because of You,
the source of my salvation. Amen.

White Party, aka Bal en Blanc, is one of Montreal's biggest mainstream dance music gatherings, an annual ritual coinciding with Easter weekend every year since its inception.
White Party 2017: Montreal's Bal en Blanc
In 2017, Montreal's White Party would have theoretically been held on April 16, 2017 at Palais des congrès, on the same Easter Sunday it's been held on for 22 years. But on April 3, 2017, to the confusion of thousands of fans, organizers announced the following date: Sunday, May 28, 2017.
But that was all they announced. It wasn't clear whether May 28, 2017 is the date for Bal en Blanc's 23rd edition or if it's the date they'll announce new details, including whether Bal en Blanc is transforming into a new event altogether. That is, until it was announced that, contrary to every single Bal en Blanc edition since its inception, Bal en Blanc in 2017 will run Sunday, May 28 at Parc Jean-Drapeau during the day, from noon to 10 p.m. with producers Martin Garrix, Slander, Thehim, Blu J, San Holo, and Borgore on decks, a complete departure from the usual trance talent known to headline the event. Whether all future Bal en Blancs will follow the same daytime outdoor theme remains to be seen.
2016's headliners included Art Department, Gareth Emery, and Afrojack. And for the first time in the history of the event, a theme was proposed: hippie chic.
About Bal en Blanc
In effect every year since 1995, the first edition of Bal en Blanc brought in a humble 800-some crowd. Roughly 20 years later, Bal en Blanc easily attracts over 15,000 dance music enthusiasts. In recent years, Bal en Blanc's headquarters has been at Palais des congrès, Montreal's largest convention centre. In 2015, that venue was temporarily swapped for that of the Bell Centre.

And Religious Are at the UN Because…?
Sometimes we NGO sisters walk up 42nd Street saying "what am I doing here?" Sometimes the visible rewards are skimpy (an "s" on the end of a word, or the word "demand" in a UN document). We represent a sacrifice for our member communities in this time of scarce resources. But Pope John Paul II called us "the conscience of the UN." S. Joan Kirby (an "old-timer" at the UN) said there is a new respect and openness here to what we have to say, especially in the area of human rights. We belong here because
- We are faith-full and faithful
- We are for the poor
- We are "in it for the long haul"
- We represent the Church in a different way, "without portfolio"
So thank you, member communities, for having the courage to invest in a global ministry, in a push for systemic change.

Where do I even start with reviewing all the awesome things Shari Spiro is involved with?
First, she is the founder of Ad Magic. They have printed many great board games including the upcoming Exploding Kittens and Cards Against Humanity. She also has helped Cards Against Humanity pull off some of their greatest coups like pwnmeal – the extreme gaming oatmeal? You might also recognize her from her time as a judge on Tabletop Deathmatch?
Recently, Ad Magic has expanded to game publishing with their new arm: Breaking Games. In their first stable of releases, they already have a Mensa Seal Select winner on their hands: Letter Tycoon! Not to mention kickstarter favorites: Billionaire Banshee and Funemployed (see also our interview with Anthony Conta).
As you can tell, this is a VERY interesting interview with lots of great stories! Trust me when I tell you, you don't want to miss it!

Total Glymm Box worth: $18.91
SERIOUSLY!? I'm sorry but this is the WORST bag or box I've ever gotten from any subscription! The worth barely justifies the price ($12 plus taxes). Also, I'm sick and tired of their customer service. I mentioned last month that it took around 20 emails to finally cancel my subscription and this time I stopped getting email updates from Glymm. Their bags usually ship the second week of the month and luckily I'm a member of the Beauty Box Spoilers group on Facebook and was kept up to date by fellow subscribers of the shipping status' because I stopped getting emails. I didn't even get a tracking email for this bag, good thing I get the mail everyday. Many other subscribers, if they were lucky, got a nail polish, and those who weren't got a Burt's Bees hand lotion sample for subscribing for a year. After this bag, I will definitely never go back to Glymm.
What was the worst customer service you've received from a beauty box subscription?
P.S. They're also raising their prices to $15! Yikes!

Sunderland is an exciting place to live. We lead the way in making use of services online. We are one of the most connected cities in the UK.
It is the school's aim to make sure everyone can enjoy the benefits of this in the safest way possible.
We run a parents session once every two years in the Summer term that gives you the opportunity to both explore what your child has learnt this year, and will learn as they progress through school, and provides up to date tips for parents on the topic of cyber-safety. Until then, please find some useful advice and links below:
Here is PowerPoint presentation and parental booklet from our most recent session:
e-Safety - Information for parents
For more information. Please click here.
Websites like http://www.bullying.co.uk/ offer advice.
BY PHONE: If the bullying is happening by phone, contact the mobile phone company. All UK mobile operators have nuisance call centres and procedures in place to deal with such incidents.
They may help you to change your number or, with help from the police, take action against the bully.
BY EMAIL: If the bullying is happening by Email contact the provider of the Email address that the bully is using.
For example if the bully uses an @hotmail.com address contact Hotmail.

c) Get Connected – free confidential helpline for young people 0808 8084994
d) Samaritans – 08457 90 90 90
Useful Websites:
A) Childnet – A range of resources for families and schools – http://www.childnet.com/
B) Talk to someone who is trained to help you at – http://www.bullying.co.uk/
C) SafeInternet.org who promote the safe enjoyment of technology – http://www.safeinternet.org/
D) Who is Hosting This? – A range of resources to help parents tackle the online world, including a parents guide – http://wiht.link/esafetyguide
E) kidshealth.org – A range of resources geared towards keeping children safe online – http://kidshealth.org/parent/positive/talk/cyberbullying.html
Encourage your child to tell a trusted adult if they ever feel awkward, embarrassed or worried by anything that they are asked to do or say by an online friend. Then the trusted adult can help them to take the appropriate form of action depending on the seriousness of the concern.
Many websites include a report abuse button. If you can't find one you can access it here.
We want everyone to make informed choices when accessing different websites on the internet, thinking about who the site was made for and why can help us to decide whether it is a good source of information. It is important for the young people to be responsible about the sites that they visit, if they aren't sure that a website is suitable, the message is to not access it at all.
http://www.commonsensemedia.org/ gives excellent advice on this and if you find a site that you think is inappropriate you can report it to the Internet Watch Foundation at http://www.iwf.org.uk
Online Parents leaflet
The school are currently developing resources to address extremism and radicalization as part of a wider school focus on what it means to be British.
Presentation by Mark Lloyd – Knetic Learning.org
Reception start by reading most of the book entitled PeguinPig (we stop before the end). The story centres on a little girl who finds a brand new creature and decides to go in search of it at the zoo. Instead she finds a fierce bear. Following the story, the children try to find a PenguinPig on the internet. As an extension, they also explore if bears like to play. Following this, we discuss if we can trust everything we find online. Mozilla X-Ray Goggles are used on a website of their choice to show the children that online content can be altered. We then read the end of the story which encourages the little girl "ask an adult if you should believe or just forget".
Reception also cover E-Safety themes in their classroom lessons on British values individual liberty lesson. The following tweet was shared after the most recent lesson was delivered!
The primary focus in Key Stage 1 is to get the children to reflect on what technology they use. As a result, we start by thinking about what different kinds of computers we use at home and at school, we even make a pictogram to show this.
We then talk about what we do on the "computers" and how we can stay safe as well as thinking about tips we need to follow when using our technology. We also look at how using ICT is different to when we are playing and talking with friend in real life. This is linked to anti-bullying week using the story of Digi-Duck – http://www.kidsmart.org.uk/teachers/ks1/digiduck.aspx. Later in the year, the children consolidate their understanding by exploring the Hector's World series and then producing their own version of the story based around the themes of episode 1 (please see an example below).
Building on the themes of Year 1, in Year two we again look at what kind of technology we use and how we use it both at home and at school. Again we explored the story of Digi-Duck but this time we looked more closely at who you could tell if something happened in the online world. Pupils use this to produce a poster.
In order to widen their understanding, the children then look at Sid's Smart rules and create a podcast to offer advice to others. You can see some of our finished podcasts in the video below.
Key Stage 2 use The Smart Crew Videos (Chapter 4 – Who Should You Tell) – http://www.childnet.com/resources/the-adventures-of-kara-winston-and-the-smart-crew/chapter1 – to explore top tips for staying safe online. Again, the focus in the Autumn term is cyber-bullying to fit in with anti-bullying week.
e-Safety - Year 3
The resources are then revisited in the Spring and Summer terms to cover topics such as What Should You Share and Meeting Up online. Pupils use the information they obtain to create top tips for others which are put on display. Pupils then create their own avatars and use them to share top tips based on http://old.kidsmart.org.uk/stayingsmart/.
Year 4 again uses Chapter 4 in The Smart Crew series but this time expands the tips given using their own research skills. They use the information they find to create multimedia presentations which they then delivere to the class (please see examples below). The children also watch Chapter 5 – What Should I Keep Safe, which is used as a discussion point before they produce blog entries on their favourite part of outdoor learning week. This is consolidated later in the year, when the children blog using an online nickname/persona.
e-Safety - Year 4
After learning about how search engines function, Year 5 put their new found research skills to good use and find out more about the consequences and solutions to cyber-bullying. They use this information to produce a comic which includes a type of cyber-bullying, a solution and a consequence. This leads on to a wider discussion about what to do if you find something inappropriate online, including the role of moderators.
e-Safety - Year 5
Year 5 also explore how reliable different sources are on the internet. This includes looking at when information was written, who wrote it, why it was written (bias) and if it can be changed or edited. Again moderators are a point of discussion.
Building of the validity of different sources, Year 6 take at closer look at how Wikis function and how this might affect weather we can trust the information. As well as exploring the author, age and purpose of the information they also look at how domain names (and how easy they now are to buy) can affect if we trust information.
Year 6 also take part in Mr Arthur's Expert's Challenge which allows us to teach the class about a brand new topic. These include computer viruses, malware, firewalls, spam, identity theft and phishing. We look at what they are and how we could either avoid them or what to do if we become a victim of any of the above. How they achieve this is their decision, although most groups opt for using PowerPoint.
e-Safety - Year 6
E-Risks and solutions are then consolidated later in the year through discussion. The children then use a layered editing program (Photoshop Free Online, Paint.net) to produce posters.
The Base have a flexible program of study that revolves around meeting both the Pupil Asset objectives and PIVATS in different ways each year. This has included using Hector's World to discuss the topic of E-Safety. After each episode we discussed with the children how this should impact the way they use ICT. Prior to this we had discussed how they use the internet/ICT and spend some time talking about the importance of playing games that are age appropriate.
We have also used Padlet to create a collaborative mind map which explored what we would do if we found something "naughty" when using technology. The points raised were then consolidated using a quiz produced using Kahoot.
E-Safety is of paramount importance to us. As well as regularly planning dedicated curriculum time to the topic, tips and discussion points are often covered informally either as part of another topic or as part of informal chat (upper Key Stage 2 children are particularly proactive in questioning hot topics they have heard on the news such as Chat Roulette and Ask.fm).
The school is also currently in the process of setting up email addresses for every child. Once this has been achieved their will be school wide focus on selecting sensible passwords and the use of online nicknames/aliases.
As part of a cross-curricular link with PSHCE, each year group in Key Stage 2 explored the resources around the NSPCC lesson "I Saw Your Willy". The aim of this was to get the children to consider carefully what they share online.
Classes produced collaborative documents to reflect on what they would do if they found something they were uncomfortable with online. Please see examples in the slide show below.
Using the NSPCC PowerPoint below, the classes then discussed the themes within the video before completing a Kahoot quiz – again based on these themes/key questions. Finally, using the results, some of the discussion points/key questions were then consolidated.

I'm headed back to the land of the questionable Internet but plenty of free time. I look forward to reading your stories tomorrow. Because of the unending transition and travel, I am afraid I've forgotten to blog this week.
So all I have to share with you are a few random thoughts:
- I was reminded this last weekend that I am an introvert. We went to a Halloween party that lasted until 5 a.m. and it has taken me four days of almost non-stop sleep to recover. Not only that but I was particularly not-good at making new friends at said party.
- Also at this party was I reminded at how desperate many people are to make their life count by having fun. I pray for constant reminders that life counts because of what God sees, not because of my performance at a party.
- I was supposed to travel this morning (after waiting a month for my permit to travel) but at the last minute it fell through again. Don't you love those moments in life when things go SO SO SO wrong that when just another thing goes wrong, all you can do is laugh?
- Village life can be boring, but the calm and the solitude really are healing to the soul, aren't they?
Bless you!

Have you ever wondered how to make medical cannabis oil? Which plant is better to use: marijuana or industrial hemp? Let us review the key facts about marijuana oil to get a clearer understanding of the problem.
1. The rebirth of industrial hemp in the U.S. was triggered by increasing interest in the medicinal potential of CBD.
2. Cannabis plants are classified into two key types—low resin hemp plants and high resin drug plants. Hemp plants are used for fiber and seed oil. Drug plants contain significant amounts of CBD, THC, or both.
3. Low-resin plants are not an optimal source of CBD-rich oil since they contain insufficient CBD.
4. American farmers are prohibited from growing high-resin CBD-rich plants by federal laws. These high-resin plants are much better suited for obtaining CBD-rich oil.
5. Federal regulations limit plant's THC content at 0.3 percent. This regulation is part of the general federal policy of blanket marijuana prohibition.
6. Colorado farmers are growing CBD-rich marijuana and calling it hemp. These so-called "hemp growers" typically harvest their crop early to minimize THC content.
7. Cross-border shipping and sale of Colorado cannabis oil products are banned by federal law. The legal status of CBD-rich oil is somewhat dubious. The prevailing opinion of experts seems to be that CBD-rich oil is illegal at the federal level; the legality at a state level varies depending on the state.
8. Some farmers in Kentucky operating under the auspices of a federally approved pilot program can breed, cultivate, and harvest industrial hemp, create new products, including CBD-rich oil concentrates, and transport these products across the state lines.
9. Some farmers in Canada and Europe are selling co-products of industrial hemp growing to businesses that specialize in extracting CBD, even though it is illegal.
10. Patients that have medical marijuana prescription need access to an entire spectrum of cannabis remedies, not just low-THC ones. According to several studies, CBD and THC can enhance each other's therapeutic effects.

NUJ, RATTAWU shut down Bayelsa FM radio station over industrial dispute
The crisis currently rocking the Bayelsa State owned Radio and Television station took a worrying dimension as the Radio chapel of Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and Radio Television and Theatre Arts Workers Unions (RATTAWU) have shut down the radio station over lingering labour dispute.
Shortly after the station went off air, the management mobilized armed securitymen and few employees who rebuffed the strike to reopen the station, playing only music all through since the station's scheduled programmes and news bulletin could not be aired.
Workers in the radio station withdrew their services following the reported arrest of the Accountant of the station by Policemen from the Ekeki Division of the Police and the subsequent alleged whipping of some staff including union officials by youths said to be loyal to the new general manager.
The labour unions who said they were protesting incessant arrest of its members and accused the General Manager of the station, Mr John Idumange of double standards.
They maintained that there were procedures within the civil service to discipline erring staff rather than resorting to police arrest and intimidation.
In a statement signed by Tonye Yemoleigha and Pius Otiti, Chairmen of NUJ and RATTAWU respectively, the unions urged Idumange to immediately withdraw the employment letters recently issued to some persons in the station.
They said that there was no justification for employment when the General Manager who was appointed on December 6, 2016 had said that the station was over staffed and subsequently redeployed competent staff from the FM station.
The unions insisted that Idumange cannot be employing anyone after he recently redeployed some of the finest hands in the broadcast outfit. They noted that despite the availability of funds, the 350KVA generator acquired for smooth operations has remained unserviceable since December 2016.
"Another worrisome dimension to us as unions is the redeployment of eight out of 10 plant engineers from the station to other parastatals, leaving only two persons to man the plant.
"This means they will not run shift nor observe off days in an environment where radiation is very high practically 'killing' workers daily," the unions said.
The Unions, the statement further said are not opposed to staff redeployment, but insisted that the unions should also be part of the process to ensure that the best of hands were not sacrificed on the altar of nepotism, sentiment or witch-hunt.
"We are also aware of the alleged over N5 million payroll fraud which Idumange claims to have uncovered and has referred to the Police for investigation.
"Ordinarily, in line with established procedures, an Investigative Panel should have been instituted to look into the matter and come up with a report with which management would act as appropriate.
"All these are expressly spelt out in the public service rules; however, we are requesting for a copy of the police report after their investigation.
"We have asked management to properly discipline everyone involved in an established case of running salary of a staff who resigned with effect from August 2016," the joint statement said.

Dear Mr. President,
Your White House currently has, in its possession, emails to and from a woman named Lois Lerner. They come from the period 2009 to 2011, as your tax-collecting agency abused and marginalized the conservative movement from Washington to El Monte, California. Your own White House officials were in contact, over email, with Ms. Lerner during this time.
You need to give up those emails now. Congress needs them to determine how much abuse occurred, who ordered it, and who covered it up. It's a law-enforcement matter in the present. But what about the future?
We understand that it's hard for you to show the country exactly what's been happening in your administration. Heck, it would be hard for the country too. Nobody wants to think that you, the winner of two national elections, the modern Kennedy at the podium, could have overseen a program of harassment that threatens the very fabric of our democracy. Nobody really wants to think that it was anything other than a computer crash, a goof-up by rogue agents in the Cincinnati office, a phony scandal.
Since our founding, Americans have been relatively circumspect, with a few exceptions, about who we trust to help us keep the republic. In two separate elections, we — a majority of us at least — trusted you.
Your administration entered into a media grace period that felt like it could last forever. And it lasted quite a deal longer than it should have. You governed by a succession of cute tableaus: funeral photos with foreign dignitaries, meticulously designed games of pickup basketball and all-important White House Correspondents Dinners. Whether killing a fly in a TV interview or calling Kanye West a "jackass," you relished in your fame. Its benefits lasted you through a fevered health-care battle and a midterm loss in the House. It carried you so far, in fact, that four years down the line you were still able to run for re-election against your predecessor.
Your grace period lasted longer than any modern president. Longer than your frenemy Bill Clinton's, the sax-slinging Baby Boomer. He harshed America's mellow in his very first year in office with Somalia and Hillarycare. Even Ronald Reagan took a bullet in the chest but still couldn't climb over 40 percent in the Gallup poll during the '83 recession. You're a lucky man with a 44 percent approval rating in this, your sixth year in office.
You dealt with scandals in the cutest way possible. Your excuses were outlandish, childish, completely out of proportion to the gravity of the alleged conduct involved. Remember when al-Qaida attacked our consulate, murdered our ambassador and you blamed it on a Youtube video? When a terrorist group you failed to prosecute kidnapped schoolgirls and your staff tweeted sad-face White House selfies? When you settled the whole Obamacare rollout between the ferns of an Internet comedy show?
Or when the IRS targeting scandal — the one about the government suppressing the political speech of conservatives across the nation — gained its own presidential sound-byte befitting a children's lesson: "Not a smidgen of corruption." (Let's not forget that you once called it "outrageous.")
And now, six years in, you're at it yet again.
"You've never heard of a computer crashing before?" your new White House press flack Josh Earnest said yesterday to your fans in the media. It doesn't matter, really, whether the computer crash ever actually happened. All that matters is that it's plausible. It's been heard of before. It's another fatuous screwup in the running sitcom that is your government. Can't we all just picture that computer crashing and Lois Lerner being all frazzled about it, just like us and our work friends at the office!
Does it matter that your IRS commissioner said back in March that Lerner's emails were all saved on a computer server? Does it matter that the IRS was legally required to keep all agency emails and to even print them out in the event of a computer crash? Or is it all just another fable, cooked up by the handpicked literary types that craft the narrative of your administration? Is Ms. Lerner's computer crash just like the YouTube video before it, just eccentric enough to seem true?
"The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest" wrote Thomas Jefferson in 1774, when he was still outlining the "Rights of British America." Jefferson, as did his protege Madison, knew the lies that would corrupt their republic would not be told in the defining public debates, but rather along the edges of governance. They would be cute falsehoods, little white lies designed to turn wrongdoings into common editorial cartoons. The more trivial-sounding, the more serious the crimes.
Your administration has shown little regard for the Fourth Amendment, an outright hatred for the Second, a misunderstanding of how to exploit the Fifth, and, well, y'all just pretended the Tenth wasn't even there. But the IRS targeting scandal, which now revolves around Ms. Lerner's emails, could be your government's greatest assault on the First.
If those who disagree with the government are no longer allowed to exercise their political speech, then we have effectively tossed out the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. We no longer practice the democracy of Jefferson and Madison. We no longer keep Franklin's republic. We go the way of so many other great democracies — like the kind that elected Julius Caesar emperor for life.
We become a banana republic. A falsehood on the world stage. We become an entity the likes of which no Founding Father ever designed and no Constitution was ever meant to govern. We enter into a political age without precedent, right here within our own shores.
This is no joke. This is no cute little sound byte. This is no computer crash. This is the abyss staring at us as we stand on the edge of history. Have we ever been this close before? Did Nixon ever pause from his break-ins, Reagan from his hostage deals, Clinton from his office romps, to carry out the assassination of an entire ideology practiced by half of their own people?
Give up those emails. Give up those emails or you will not only stand as a disgrace in our history books, but you will threaten to burn those history books themselves. Give up those emails or know that you will have done more to corrupt our democratic institutions than any man or woman before you. And then think about what could come after you.
For the sake of so much that is better, that is more inspiring, that is more important to our country and the world than you will ever be: give up those emails. Give up the disgraces hidden within them so as to relieve us of the disgrace playing out today in front of our very eyes.
We know it might pain you to hear it, but you're not the most important part of this anymore. Give up those emails. And let us read what your government has done.
– Patrick Howley, for the Editors

Baltimore synthpop three-piece Future Islands are giving fans the chance to listen to their new album 'Singles' before its release next week (March 24). Scroll down to listen.
The release is the band's fourth studio album, and follows their critically acclaimed 2011 album 'On The Water'. All 10 of the tracks featured on the album were produced by Chris Coady, who has worked with the likes of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Grizzly Bear.
The band recently finished a mini European tour, and told NME that the experience was "mindblowing". Frontman Samuel T Herring said: "I love being onstage. You can share truths about your life and connect with people."
Speaking about the new album, Herring said: "We're definitely of the school of thinking that an album should be a whole experience, because those are the sort of records we loved growing up. We're not of that iPod culture where you listen to one or two songs and that's what you know; we've always wanted to make these complete works… in the past we've tried to make things ebb and flow, with this one every song has its strengths, every song stands alone. It's our most diverse album, I feel it shows our versatility as musicians and writers."
The album is streaming in full now via NPR. Click below to listen.

A lack of flexibility towards IT management in the government sector may hinder the development of cloud computing and virtualisation.
In a presentation to IT leaders in Sydney, Ovum public sector research director, Kevin Noonan, the future of IT in government must be flexible if the sector is to avoid being 'locked out' of future technological advances.
"Long term out-sourcing agreements and locking yourself into agreements with vendors with no cloud strategy means you are locking yourselves out of those future options," he said.
"Even in long term relationships, how can we ask ourselves what flexibility options are we locking ourselves out of? Will we be locking ourselves out of long term production, cloud and other means?,"
Future elections at both the federal and state level will no longer about a 'red versus blue' battle according to Noonan, with a shift towards a more open form of government taking precedent.
"Open government has become a clear driver. People want greater engagement with government," he said. "We've been tinkering with Web 2.0 and this has been described as one of the scariest thing a government can do."
While the Queensland government shared-services debacle has moved the focus away from this form of government, the pendulum may eventually swing back in this direction.
"Do you want a commodity service from IT? Do you want stakeholder management?" Noonan said. "You have to structure your organisation differently depending on how you want your organisation to look."
Locking IT departments into a rigid structure would only negate progress in the sector, Noonan claimed.
"With the possibility of having a minority federal government with a focus on negotiation, the question to IT departments of 'what do you want us to do?' is really important," he said. "We have to ask if we are locking ourselves into particular ways of doing business."
Noonan suggested that focusing on cloud based technologies would be important to the government sector, however he warned change management was an equally important factor that should be taken into consideration.
"We start to look at an explosion in choices around outsourcing, agency needs and in-house IT," he said. "The cloud and virtualising your environment might not cut it in the future. It's about changing management structures to adapt on the way.
"Architecture, governance and relationship building is the future of the way government does business. At all levels we can see that many levels are unknown. The question for us to chart a path that allows for emerging outcomes. How do we get governance procedures in place?"

To learn more about Cloud SQL, see the Cloud SQL documentation. For information on Cloud SQL pricing and limits, see the Cloud SQL Pricing page. App Engine applications are also subject to the App Engine quotas.
Before you begin
- Create or select a Google Cloud project in the Cloud Console
and then ensure that project includes an App Engine application and
billing is enabled:
Go to App Engine
The Dashboard opens if an App Engine application already exists in your project and billing is enabled. Otherwise, follow the prompts for choosing a region and enabling billing.
- Enable the Cloud SQL Admin API.
To deploy your app with the
gcloudtool, you must download, install, and initialize the Cloud SDK:
Download the SDK
Configuring the Cloud SQL instance
To create and configure a Cloud SQL instance:
- Create a Cloud SQL for PostgreSQL instance.
- If you haven't already, set the password for the default user on your
Cloud SQL instance:
gcloud sql users set-password postgres no-host --instance [INSTANCE_NAME] --password [PASSWORD]
- If you don't want to use the default user to connect, create a user.
Record the connection name for the instance:
gcloud sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME]
For example:
connectionName: project1:us-central1:instance1
You can also find this value in the Instance details page of the Google Cloud Console.
Create a database on your Cloud SQL instance.
gcloud sql databases create [DATABASE_NAME] --instance=[INSTANCE_NAME]For more information on creating and managing databases, see the Cloud SQL documentation.
Setting up your local environment
Once deployed, your application uses the Cloud SQL Proxy that is built in to the App Engine runtime environment to communicate with your Cloud SQL instance. However, to test your application locally, you must install and use a local copy of the Cloud SQL Proxy in your development environment.
To perform basic administrative tasks on your Cloud SQL instance, you can use the administration client for your database or the Cloud Console.
Authenticate the
gcloudtool to use the proxy to connect from your local machine:
gcloud auth application-default login
Install the Cloud SQL proxy:
Linux 64-bit
- Download the proxy:
wget https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.linux.amd64 -O cloud_sql_proxy
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
Linux 32-bit
- Download the proxy:
wget https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.linux.386 -O cloud_sql_proxy
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
macOS 64-bit
- Download the proxy:
curl -o cloud_sql_proxy https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.darwin.amd64
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
macOS 32-bit
- Download the proxy:
curl -o cloud_sql_proxy https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy.darwin.386
- Make the proxy executable:
chmod +x cloud_sql_proxy
Windows 64-bitRight-click https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy_x64.exe and select Save Link As to download the proxy. Rename the file to
Windows 32-bitRight-click https://dl.google.com/cloudsql/cloud_sql_proxy_x86.exe and select Save Link As to download the proxy. Rename the file to
- Download the proxy:
Run the proxy:
Depending on your language and environment, you can start the proxy using either TCP sockets or Unix sockets.
TCP sockets
Copy your instance connection name from the Instance details page.
For example:
- If you are using a service account to authenticate the proxy, note the location on your client machine of the private key file that was created when you created the service account.
- Start the proxy.
Some possible proxy invocation strings:
- Using Cloud SDK authentication:
./cloud_sql_proxy -instances=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>=tcp:5432The specified port must not already be in use, for example, by a local database server.
- Using a service account and explicit instance specification (recommended for production environments):
./cloud_sql_proxy -instances=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>=tcp:5432 \ -credential_file=<PATH_TO_KEY_FILE> &
For more information about proxy options, see Options for authenticating the proxy and Options for specifying instances.
- Using Cloud SDK authentication:
Unix sockets
- If you are using explicit instance specification, copy your instance connection name from the Instance details page.
- Create the directory where the proxy sockets will live:
sudo mkdir /cloudsql; sudo chmod 777 /cloudsql
- If you are using a service account to authenticate the proxy, note the location on your client machine of the private key file that was created when you created the service account.
- Open a new terminal window and start the proxy.
Some possible proxy invocation strings:
- Using a service account and explicit instance specification (recommended for production
./cloud_sql_proxy -dir=/cloudsql -instances=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME> \ -credential_file=<PATH_TO_KEY_FILE> &
- Using Cloud SDK authentication and automatic instance discovery:
./cloud_sql_proxy -dir=/cloudsql &
It is best to start the proxy in its own terminal so you can monitor its output without it mixing with the output from other programs.
For more information about proxy options, see Options for authenticating the proxy and Options for specifying instances.
- Using a service account and explicit instance specification (recommended for production environments):
When using a unix socket to connect to Cloud SQL using the Cloud SQL Proxy, make sure the socket
filename's length does not surpass the system's limit. It depends on the system, but it's usually
between 91-108 characters. On Linux, the length is usually defined as 108, and you can use the
following command to check:
cat /usr/include/linux/un.h | grep "define UNIX_PATH_MAX"
To use the administration client, you can install a local copy and connect either by using the proxy or IP Addresses.
For more information, see Connecting psql Client Using the Cloud SQL Proxy and Connecting psql Client Using IP Addresses.
Setting connection strings and adding a library
Set up the local environment to support connections for local testing.
For example, for the provided code sample:
export SQL_USER=[YOUR_SQL_USER] export SQL_PASSWORD=[YOUR_SQL_PASSWORD] export SQL_DATABASE=[YOUR_SQL_DATABASE] npm install
By default, when you run the app locally it tries to connect using TCP sockets. If you configured the proxy to use Unix sockets, set this additional environment variable:
export INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME=[YOUR_INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME]
These environment variables are used to create the connection:
const config = { user: process.env.SQL_USER, password: process.env.SQL_PASSWORD, database: process.env.SQL_DATABASE, }; if ( process.env.INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME && process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ) { config.host = `/cloudsql/${process.env.INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME}`; } // Connect to the database const knex = Knex({ client: 'pg', connection: config, });
To allow your app to connect to your Cloud SQL instance when the app is deployed, add the user, password, database, and instance connection name variables from Cloud SQL to the related environment variables in the
app.flexible.yamlfile: The deployed application will connect via unix sockets.
# The following env variables may contain sensitive information that grants # anyone access to your database. Do not add this file to your source control. env_variables: SQL_USER: YOUR_SQL_USER SQL_PASSWORD: YOUR_SQL_PASSWORD SQL_DATABASE: YOUR_SQL_DATABASE # e.g. my-awesome-project:us-central1:my-cloud-sql-instance INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME: YOUR_INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME
Add the
beta_settingssection to your
app.flexible.yaml, using your Cloud SQL instance connection name.
beta_settings: # The connection name of your instance, available by using # 'gcloud beta sql instances describe [INSTANCE_NAME]' or from # the Instance details page in the Google Cloud Platform Console. cloud_sql_instances: YOUR_INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME
Add a Node.js PostgreSQL client library to your application's
package.json. For example, the provided code sample uses Knex.js with the pg package as the driver:
"dependencies": { "express": "^4.16.4", "knex": "^0.20.0", "pg": "^7.8.0", "prompt": "^1.0.0" },
Running the sample codeThe sample of
server.js below creates a visitor log in a Cloud SQL
Before running the sample, run
createTables.js to create the tables you need
and to ensure that the database is properly configured:
const Knex = require('knex');
const prompt = require('prompt');
const FIELDS = ['user', 'password', 'database'];
// Prompt the user for connection details
prompt.get(FIELDS, async (err, config) => {
if (err) {
// Connect to the database
const knex = Knex({client: 'pg', connection: config});
// Create the "visits" table
try {
await knex.schema.createTable('visits', table => {
console.log(`Successfully created 'visits' table.`);
return knex.destroy();
} catch (err) {
console.error(`Failed to create 'visits' table:`, err);
if (knex) {
const express = require('express');
const Knex = require('knex');
const crypto = require('crypto');
const app = express();
app.enable('trust proxy');
const connect = () => {
const config = {
user: process.env.SQL_USER,
password: process.env.SQL_PASSWORD,
database: process.env.SQL_DATABASE,
if (
process.env.INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME &&
process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
) {
config.host = `/cloudsql/${process.env.INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME}`;
// Connect to the database
const knex = Knex({
client: 'pg',
connection: config,
return knex;
const knex = connect();
* Insert a visit record into the database.
* @param {object} knex The Knex connection object.
* @param {object} visit The visit record to insert.
* @returns {Promise}
const insertVisit = (knex, visit) => {
return knex('visits').insert(visit);
* Retrieve the latest 10 visit records from the database.
* @param {object} knex The Knex connection object.
* @returns {Promise}
const getVisits = async knex => {
const results = await knex
.select('timestamp', 'userIp')
.orderBy('timestamp', 'desc')
return results.map(
visit => `Time: ${visit.timestamp}, AddrHash: ${visit.userIp}`
app.get('/', async (req, res, next) => {
// Create a visit record to be stored in the database
const visit = {
timestamp: new Date(),
// Store a hash of the visitor's ip address
userIp: crypto
.substr(0, 7),
try {
await insertVisit(knex, visit);
// Query the last 10 visits from the database.
const visits = await getVisits(knex);
.set('Content-Type', 'text/plain')
.send(`Last 10 visits:\n${visits.join('\n')}`)
} catch (err) {
const PORT = process.env.PORT || 8080;
app.listen(PORT, () => {
console.log(`App listening on port ${PORT}`);
console.log('Press Ctrl+C to quit.');
Testing and deploying
To test your application locally:
npm start
After local testing, deploy your app to App Engine:
gcloud app deploy app.flexible.yaml
To launch your browser and view the app at
http://[YOUR_PROJECT_ID].appspot.com, run the following command:
gcloud app browse
Running Cloud SQL and App Engine in separate projects
If your App Engine application and Cloud SQL instance are in different Google Cloud projects, you must use a service account to allow your App Engine application access to Cloud SQL.
This service account represents your App Engine application and is created by default when you create a Google Cloud project.
- If your App Engine application is in the same project as your Cloud SQL instance, you can skip this section and go to Setting up your local environment. Otherwise, proceed to the next step.
Identify the service account associated with your App Engine
application. The default App Engine service account is named
You can verify the App Engine service account on the IAM Permissions page. Ensure that you select the project for your App Engine application, not your Cloud SQL instance.
- Go to the IAM & Admin Projects page in the Google Cloud Console.
- Select the project that contains the Cloud SQL instance.
- Search for the service account name.
If the service account is already there, and it has a role that includes the
cloudsql.instances.connectpermission, you can proceed to Setting up your local environment.
Cloud SQL Client,
Cloud SQL Editorand
Cloud SQL Adminroles all provide the necessary permission, as do the legacy
Ownerproject roles.
- Otherwise, add the service account by clicking Add.
In the Add members dialog, provide the name of the service account and select a role that include the
cloudsql.instances.connectpermission (any Cloud SQL predefined role other than Viewer will work).
Alternatively, you can use the primitive Editor role by selecting Project > Editor, but the Editor role includes permissions across Google Cloud.
If you do not see these roles, your Google Cloud user might not have the
resourcemanager.projects.setIamPolicypermission. You can check your permissions by going to the IAM page in the Google Cloud Console and searching for your user id.
- Click Add.
You should now see the service account listed with the specified role.

Came to GAD 2013 Jakarta last Saturday night.
Let's see what I got there.
Club 8 and One Republic performed first and second until 11 pm more or less.
Ryan Tedder really "conquered" the stage that night.
Finally, the last show is Mew, which I have waited for so long to see them live!
Yes I was in the front row. Lucky, eh?
Despite the fact that my most favorite song, Repeaterbeater, was not in their set list.
That's how I felt that night for finally seeing Mew live performance, after I missed their previous three shows here in Indonesia.
Really really looking forward to watch you all, Jonas Bjerre – Bo Madsen – Silas Jorgensen, AGAIN.
(sorry for too much image noise in my photos, blame it to iPhone, haha)

I have been asked why and given all.sorts of odd advice, so let's start with why ...
For many years I have been interested in Buddhism and that started my fasting journey, it is is also informed by my psychonaut adventures and the lessons I learnt there.
The central idea was a way to help me understand my relationship with food and to help myself listen and pay attention to my physical body a bit more.
Discipline also comes into it being able to wake up and say to myself "today is a fast day we don't need food today ,so just untill this evening we are avoiding it" is for me a very powerful action.
So that is where it started , since then I am and have been involved in all sort of bio hacking forums and through that that have learned all sorts of benefits.
This wonderful documentary is a great intro and taught me a lot and helped inform the direction of further studies
I know for myself it helps with my osteoarthritis, helps me with my overall energy levels, helps with my overall mood.
It has really helped me understand when my body is saying "we are hungry" and when it really means , "we are bored" or "we are thirsty"
Like a lot of things in my life I do it my own way ,I tend to prefer to not eat till my evening meal ,I always have green tea and don't have a set day (i see as a gift to myself)
I am pretty sure I will do this for the rest of my life.

Malachi Ritscher
The Malachi Ritscher Collection represents the work of Chicago sound recordist Malachi Ritscher. Ritscher was a passionate supporter of Chicago's improvised music jazz scene. Although technically an amateur, Mr. Ritscher was well known in Chicago for making meticulous, high fidelity recordings at hundreds of live music events from the mid-1980s (perhaps earlier) until his death in 2006. This collection of recordings, now a part of the Creative Audio Archive, is a unique record of musical development in Chicago during a particularly fertile period, a history that resonates to the present.

UPDATE DECEMBER 11, 2015: Coal Ash Dump Court Hearing Closes With Bombshells
Two of our three legal challenges were heard in court this week by Administrative Law Judge Meliisa Owens Lassiter. Link to WNCN report: http://wncn.com/2015/12/08/environmental-groups-oppose-nc-coal-ash-plan-in-court/
Our news release:Evidence shows that dump would be 50 feet high; most of site never mined Charah drawings differ from FEMA, GIS on location of floodplain at Lee County site
Raleigh- Today, a hearing on Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League (BREDL), EnvironmentaLEE (ELEE) and Chatham Citizens Against Coal Ash Dump's challenge to the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's (DEQ) issuance of permits for coal ash landfills in Lee and Chatham Counties closed with testimony from Don Kovasckitz, Lee County Director of Strategic Services. The sites are owned by Green Meadow, LLC, a subsidiary of Charah, Inc. Kovasckitz painstakingly and straightforwardly described the research his department undertook on behalf of Lee County when Duke Energy announced their plans to dump millions of tons of toxic coal ash in that county. He accompanied his testimony with a PowerPoint which he had presented to the Lee-Sanford Environmental Affairs Board earlier this year.
The PowerPoint showed that the Colon Road site would be 50 feet high, which contradicted testimony given by DEQ staff; that the toxic coal ash would be used to "level" the site so it could be developed. In addition, the research performed by Strategic Services showed that over 70% of the Lee County site had never been used for mining- belying the state's claims to the contrary. The Brickhaven site in Chatham County was also largely unexcavated- maps show much of it covered by "dense woods." Kovasckitz also testified that data used in by the FEMA, GIS and an environmental consultant hired by Charah all showed that the 100 year floodplain was mere feet from the actual landfill cells which could hold millions of tons of toxic coal ash. However, maps submitted to DEQ by Charah differed. Mr. Kovasckitz was subpoenaed to testify.
Prior to the hearing, BREDL organizer Therese Vick had obtained DEQ emails through public records requests that not only showed that DEQ knew that the site(s) were already reclaimed and had never been excavated, but that Assistant Secretary Tom Reeder called for permit decisions before the close of the public comment period and before all comments were considered. Although the agency objected to any evidence Vick obtained through the public records process when she testified, the judge allowed one document- an email detailing DEQ's knowledge that the Colon Road site had already been reclaimed.
Vick stated, "Once again, the DEQ has demonstrated that they are willing to circumvent the law in order to accommodate Duke Energy. The state has manipulated the permitting of these two dumps in order to get them out from under the more stringent solid waste permitting process- which requires local government approval. Even agency staff admit that US EPA would consider this a landfill. We are hopeful about the outcome. "
After Kovasckitz' testimony, the plaintiffs' rested their case. DEQ declined to put on evidence. The judge has 45 days to make a decision.
UPDATE DECEMBER 3, 2015: Hearing on Coal Ash Dump Permits December 7, 2015!!!
December 7-11, 2015
TIME: 09:00 AM (or as soon thereafter as may be heard)
PLACE: North Carolina Office Administrative Hearings
1711 New Hope Church Rd
Courtroom A
Raleigh NC
As we prepare for our day in court- we learned this week that Charah, the contractor developing and operating the Lee and Chatham County coal ash landfills, was cited by the Department of Environmental Quality for their SECOND violation in 3 months. Also this week, Duke Energy was cited for violations at their Asheville coal ash structural fill/landfill- also developed by Charah. Help us stop the violation of our communities- make your tax-exempt donation today.
UPDATE November 21, 2015:
Its been just a little over 1 year since we heard of Duke Energy's plans to dump millions of tons of coal ash on our neighborhoods. We want to say a BIG thank you to all who have donated! Our first court hearing is scheduled for December 7, 2015. Its a real David and Goliath effort, grassroots communities fighting the Governer's Department of Environmental Quality and Duke Energy, the largest utility in the United States!
The solution is not to spread the pollution!
EPA: NC risking federal takeover of environmental regulation
North Carolina's recent tactic of blocking citizens from challenging state permits for industrial polluters could result in a federal takeover of the state's regulatory program.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has put state officials on notice that North Carolina's strategy is putting the state at risk of losing its authority to regulate industrial water pollution and air pollution. Since receiving the warning two weeks ago, the N.C. Department of Environmental Quality is downplaying the incident as a misunderstanding http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article44915598.html
WE are still fighting against Dirty DUKE ENERGY dumpinng millions of toxic coal ash on our counties. We don't deseve this! The DEQ has put Duke Energy on the fast track of approvals and are not remembering who they are suppose to PROTECT!
Read more here: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/business/article44915598.html#storylink=cpy
UPDATE Sept 30th THANK YOU PRIVATE DONATION
A big thank you goes out to a generous family donating funds, allowing us to buy two air monitors. Lets keep our counties free from pollution.
Help balance the scales of justice!
UPDATE AUGUST 12: Thank you for all your support thus far! On August 10, 2015. EnvironmentaLEE, Chatham Citizens Against Coal Ash Dump and Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League filed a second legal challenge of the permits issued by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. From the press release:
Therese Vick, BREDL community organizer stated, "DENR has again demonstrated that they are willing to circumvent their own rules in order to push these projects forward. The issuance of this permit only benefits Duke Energy."
Debbie Hall, co-president of ELEE, blasted DENR's expedited permitting process, "The speed and lack of consideration of the concerns raised by the citizens who will most affected is unacceptable"
Duke Energy is proposing to dump toxic coal ash in Lee and Chatham Counties, North Carolina. Lee County is already ground zero for fracking, and the North Carolina General Assembly stripped local governments of their ability to control fracking or coal ash dumping in their communities. These activities threaten health, the environment, and property rights. We are raising funds for a possible legal challenge to Duke Energy's plan.
Duke Energy through their contractor Charah, Inc., is planning on placing it right on top of our watershed, where 2000 homes are within one half mile of this proposed dump site. An African American Cemetery which is the resting place for a World-War I veteran and his family is also part of the site.
The placement of 20 million tons of coal ash in Lee and Chatham County will create a 5-story mountain of coal ash at each site.
COAL ASH can contain ARSENIC, MERCURY, Selenium,LEAD, Dioxins, Boron, AND RADIOACTIVE materials.
The transportation of this coal ash will result in 200,000 train-car loads, and over 600,000 truck loads of this dangerous material going through North Carolina communities.
Community property values will be negatively impacted.
It is well understood that all landfill liners will leak. It is a matter of when, not if.
Duke is transferring all liability to a limited liability company; Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League has proposed a safer solution which would isolate the coal ash from surface water, groundwater and airborne dispersion.
All donations are tax-deductible and funds raised will go directly to the local grassroots organizations fighting Duke Energy's proposal.

The fabric line has a panel of framed desserts and fruit that can be cut into squares.
I framed each square in a green fabric with red on each corner.
The binding is in the same red and is hand sewn.
I machined quilted in a swirly pattern on my regular sewing machine. It is so fun to see how much I can push myself with new designs like this. It helped that the quilt was small and easy to work with. I wouldn't try this swirly design on something much larger. I am not sure if this is a baby quilt or wall hanging.......I think it might even end up as a table topper. It would look sweet on a dessert table loaded with goodies!

Ofcom launches probe into Loose Women after Katie Price's son swears on live TV
Broadcast regulator Ofcom is investigating Loose Women following an incident that saw Katie Price's disabled son, Harvey, swear on live TV.
Price's son joined her on the ITV show last month for a segment to discuss internet trolls.
The media watchdog confirmed it had received 10 complaints following the May 17 episode.
An Ofcom spokesman said: "Ofcom is investigating this programme which included the most offensive language before the watershed."
Fourteen-year-old Harvey, whose father is footballer Dwight Yorke, is visually impaired, autistic and suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome.
The NHS describes Prader-Willi syndrome as a " rare genetic condition that causes a wide range of problems", among them "a constant desire to eat, learning difficulties and reduced muscle tone".
Harvey has frequently been the target of online abuse and when asked on the show about people who had targeted him, he used the c-word.
Price, 38, asked him: "If someone says something horrible to Harvey, what does Harvey say?"
The teen responded: "Hello, c***."
Panellist Andrea McLean apologised numerous times, adding before the show ended: "We have to apologise, obviously, for the language that you heard a little bit earlier on."
During the episode, Price defended her decision to show the segment with Harvey live, instead of pre-recording it.
She said: "I want people to see what he's like, not manufacture and edit what he's like."
Ofcom further added that in relation to Harvey's welfare, they had received sufficient assurances from ITV that the broadcaster had ensured due care of him, and as such they would not be pursuing any potential issues in this regard any further.

Questions to Find Your Life Path
By: Missy Marston
Are you having a hard time trying to figure out your path in life? Do you see too many options – or none at all?
"At the center of your being
you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want."
― Lao Tzu
Ask yourself these questions, and you will find the direction to your life path. However, remember to go with the flow and let life take you in new directions and allow for new opportunities to learn. Free yourself from the confinements of what you want from your life path, and let the universe show you the way.
These questions will let you know what you desire to give this world the most, and will help you start down the twists and turns of your life's purpose. Stop and think about each question. Write down the basics of your answers, or the whole answers.
- What do you want to do in life?
- If money was not an object, what would you do? Where would you go? Who would you help?
- What kind of person do I want to be?
- Do you aspire to be like someone else, or are you happy in your own skin? What traits do you like most, and do you have them or want them?
- What would you give up?
- If you had to leave you home, would you? If you had to leave your friends, would you? What would you leave behind if it meant following your life path?
- What do I want my future to look like?
- Where do you want to be in 1/5/10 years? What do you want to have accomplished? Who would you like to be as a person?
- What makes you feel calm?
- What brings you tranquility? Watching a sunset? Reading a book? Meditation? Think about why this activity calms you.
- What would you fight for?
- What ideal would you fight tooth and nail to defend? What liberty would you risk everything for? Think about how this ideal affects you.
- What are you best at?
- What do people commonly ask you to do for them? What would you say you do the best of? Do you enjoy this?
- What makes you feel satisfied?
- What leaves you feeling that you need nothing else? Think about what you enjoy so much that you would enjoy doing every day.
- What kind of people do you like to hang out with and why?
- Do you hang out with introspective people? Do you hang out with people who often smile? Think about why you enjoy these persons company.
- What truly makes you happy?
- This one may be hard, but write down whatever first comes to mind.
- What makes you lose track of time?
- Time flies when you're having fun! What have you done that made you look at the clock and say 'oh my!'.
- What are your morals?
- What are your values in life? What is good and bad to you? Think about what good means to you and in relation to yourself.
- What is stopping you?
- Whenever you try and make a decision, what is holding you back?
- What is on your bucket list?
- What do you want to do before you die? Think about what would happen if you were to die tomorrow. Would you really regret not doing these things?
After completing these questions, look through the answers. You may notice a common theme in them, whether it's helping others, empathy, traveling, introspection, etc. or yours may be all over the place! However, most may notice that the common theme is trying to make this world a better place and letting love be the sole purpose to life.
Always look inside yourself for answers; they are there waiting for you.
Love and light to you all!

Coming Up With Catchy Persuasive Essay Topics Year 9
For students in year nine, there will often be a requirement to write a persuasive essay. The first thing to be aware of is that a persuasive paper is basically the same thing as an argumentative paper; in fact, they are identical, the only thing different about them is the name. Therefore, if you have ever written an argumentative paper, you will probably have a good understanding of what to do for the work.
One of the most difficult things about doing the work can often be to think of good topic to write about. Essentially, you will most likely want a catchy title, which will encourage the reader to continue looking at your work.
It may be that you want to use a controversial title, which will intrigue any potential readers or, alternatively, you may wish to think of unique or unusual titles that will help to convince the reader that the work will be particularly interesting.
Brainstorming persuasive essay topic ideas
In order to come up with a catchy title, it can be good idea to carry out various brainstorming techniques. As part of these techniques, you may wish to list down any possible ideas that you have had. Even if you do not end up using them, is a good idea to write them down, partly so that you don't forget them, and partly as they can act as inspiration later on.
In fact, you may well find that an idea is not very good at the time, but you might change your mind later on. Alternatively, you may find that making some small adjustments to the title can improve it greatly, or it could even act as inspiration for something completely different.
To give you an idea of you could write about, there is a list of topics below.
- Should the United States adopt a universal health care system?
- Should Britain maintain its nuclear deterrent?
- Should lotteries provide more balanced winning prizes rather than massive jackpots?
- Should police officers be paid more for the work they do?
- Should more be done to ensure veterans of the armed forces can adjust properly to civilian life after they retire from the services?
- Should endangered species receive more protection from governments?
- Should children be allowed to drink high calorie, sugar-laden fizzy drinks?
- Should parents allow children to drink small amounts of alcohol whilst supervised at home, despite being underage?
- Should oil drilling be allowed in areas of natural beauty?
- Should fracking be permitted by governments?
