Though Hulu (somewhat surprisingly) passed on a series order for Locke and Key after commissioning a pilot, Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez's award-winning graphic novel will getting a TV adaptation after all — from Netflix. Carlton Cuse will remain as showrunner, but according to THR, the series will be entirely reimagined moving forward, including a new cast and a new director (It director Andy Muschietti, who helmed the Hulu pilot, is now busy with It 2 and won't be able to return, though he is remaining with the project as an EP).
Locke and Key was first put into development as a TV series eight years ago, starting as a pilot developed for Fox by Josh Friedman (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles), and executive produced Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and Steven Spielberg. But when the network passed on taking it further, Universal snagged the rights and then sat on them until they were again up for grabs. In 2016, IDW Entertainment CEO Ted Adams and president David Ozer shopped a new version of a pilot around to buyers including HBO and FX, with Cuse showrunning and Joe Hill writing the script. And while Hulu initially showed interest, it ultimately (and again, surprisingly) didn't follow through with the project, which has of course now landed with Netflix — although to be clear, the deal has not yet been completely finalized, hence there not being a statement from Netflix on the pickup yet.
Locke and Key's story revolves around three siblings who move into their ancestral home in Maine after the death of their father. But the house is no ordinary house, of course, and they come to find that the house has magical keys that give them powers. The keys are also sought after by a demon who will do anything to take them.
Let us know what you think about the series moving to Netflix, if you've read the graphic novels, and who you would like to see cast in these key (no pun intended) roles.

I create normal ranked match. Then escape from it. And view the replay of this undeployed match. Now I can see the game plan - everything - who is the opponent, his deployment (because ghosts probably deploy instantly), where are resources, bases... Then I return to the match and do deploy. I can adapt the deploy or choosing the AI to the already known game plan. And it gives me an advantage. Quite big advantage I think.

See What Other Customer Are Saying...
Read user reviews for LlamasApps plugins, don't just take our word for it. Here are over 30+ reviews straight from our users.
Christine Roberson
I loved tutorial because it was exactly that I needed to understand how really redirects work. There aren't many redirect plugins that cover all my needs on wordpress.org, so I was looking at youtube as well and came across the video which was super easy to follow. Overall very happy and would use this plugin again on my other projects. Cheers!
I did a lot of research on finding a good redirect plugin that has rich customization options to cover my SEO redirects. I have used 3 or 4 other ones but nothing compared with this one. Great plugin easy to setup. As I am not a coder, your text helpers really improved my knowledge about the redirecting processes. Thanks a lot! I really recommend these guys!
Christie Warren
For our cart parts shop I needed to optimize appearance in Google. I used one plugin before to manage redirects, but I was not satisfied with customization and I needed a lot of hacking to make it conform my wishes. With llamas plugin I don't need any hacks anymore, because it has so many options and the little wish left is added to the plugin after my request.
Jenna Hays
I'm loving this plugin - it was just what I needed. I had already bought a plugin from another company, but it was not clean and hard to understand the settings. I have fixed all my issues using this plugin in less that 15 minutes. Actually I've never had a better experience! I will be checking here for every project I do to see if there is something more to cover my needs! Nice work!
Donald Foland
We had a special need for an ecommerce site to redirect users after purchase and to manage some specific marketing channels. We searched for quite a while until we found this solution and were a little skeptical as it seemed too good to be true. So we tried a demo, then purchased, and couldn't be happier about the choice. Perfect elegant solution and they are always adding new features!
Marilyn Colon
My experience with Lama is excellent!! Very easy to understand the interface and settings inside the plugin. Was impressed that so many custom options available.

It's the Queen's birthday, happy birthday the Queen. I expect she is a regular reader, partial to a bit of ditch dwelling is the Queen, it's all those moats round her castles that did it. Chased a runaway corgi down one in 1968 and hasn't looked back since. I had a birthday once, Rob came, we went to the pub to celebrate and we were introduced to a celebration drink. Mostly celebration drinks tend towards being drinkable, Champagne for example can be very drinkable I like Champagne; it is a good thing to have in ones life. I had kind of thought that Champagne would be a good thing to drink on my Birthday Rob went to the bar and I sat back chatting to friends looking forward to something in a bottle that gives a reassuring pop when opened. Rob came back, he had met someone called Bones at the bar, the name alone should have put him on guard. Bones had talked Rob out of buying Champagne in favour of something "better". I like green things, trees and all that business, lovely, drinks shouldn't be green though and they especially should not be muddy green; the drinks he returned with were muddy green. They tasted, well wrong, not the sort of thing that anyone would voluntarily clean the bath with. Apparently it is rude to refuse a birthday present. The night out was a short lived affair.
The drink in question is called a Bull Rush; it is made of Absinth and Red Bull its effects are interesting. Since then the Bull Rush has become a favourite celebratory drink. No that's wrong, there is nothing favourite about them at all, they do however get bought when either Rob or I has a birthday and it would be a sign of great weakness to refuse one. Last night was Rob's drinks, apparently the rules of leaving drinks are the same as birthdays, I wasn't aware of this. Most places refuse to serve Bull Rushes on the grounds that the sort of people that would drink them are not welcome, we found a bar that was more than happy to give them to us; mind you I had a burger there and it did lead me to suspect that the chef at least held the sanctity of human life in very low regard. I have never had a burger that tasted of calamari before. Four of us hit the dance floor and made lots of friends; I think there was random hugging of strangers. Mind you they were playing the Prodigy so that kind of thing is expected. I wonder if the Queen will eschew the fizzy wine option this year and plump for the Bull Rush option. If she does no doubt she will make friends with two slightly deranged guys on a night bus. Night buses in London are great, you meet the nicest people and its not at all worrying when you get off and they start following you about.

Greek rice Pudding recipe (Rizogalo)
Posted in 40 minutes or less, Beginner, Boiled, Desserts, Mainland Greece, No bake desserts, Our hand picked recipes Originally published on January 22, 2014 Last updated on April 19, 2014 By Eli K. Giannopoulos Cuisine: Greek
Homely, comforting and extra creamy! Greek rice pudding (rizogalo) is a no butter, egg-free traditional Greek recipe, which looks more like a thick custard than a pudding and is flavored with vanilla, lemon peel or orange zest. Perfectly served warm, at room temperature or straight out from the fridge, this extra creamy Greek rice pudding recipe (rizogalo) is a definite must-try treat for you and your family!
Rizogalo (Greek rice pudding) takes it's name from the two basic ingredients used in its preparation (rizi=rice and gala=milk), which are combined and simmered until thick and velvety. If you haven't tried a Greek rice pudding before you will be surprised by the deliciousness of such humble ingredients when cooked together. A word of warning: it takes quite a bit of stirring for the pudding to thicken but the result will definitely reward you! Some Greek rice pudding recipes use cornstarch to thicken the cream, but actually it is not necessary as the rice releases its starch giving rizogalo its creamy consistency and acting as a thickening agent. The traditional recipe for Greek rice pudding calls for a kind of rice called 'glase', which is usually used in soups; the next best thing is to use Arborio rice.
Serve this traditional Greek rice pudding as a delicious dessert, breakfast or mid-day snack with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!
- 100g Arborio rice (3.5 0z.)
- 1200ml milk
- 60g sugar (2 oz.)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- zest of an orange or lemon peel, optional
- To prepare this delicious Greek rice pudding recipe, heat the milk and rice in a large heavy bottomed saucepan. Simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to just below boiling point. Reduce the heat to medium-low and gently cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes until the pudding is thick and the rice is tender. (If you like to add some extra flavour to your Greek rice pudding, add some lemon peel or orange zest)
- When preparing a Greek rice pudding, it is very important to simmer at low temperatures and to stir the mixture, so that the milk doesn't burn and the rizogalo doesn't stick on the bottom of the pan.
- Remove the pan from the stove and add the sugar and the vanilla extract, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. (If the rizogalo needs to thicken a little bit more, dilute 1 tsp cornstarch in some water, add in the mixture and cook for a few more minutes.)
- If you don't serve the Greek rice pudding right away, it will form a crust. A little trick to avoid that is to pour the mixture in a large bowl and place over a bowl filled with ice cubes. Then stir the mixture until cold. Spoon the rizogalo into individual bowls and store in the fridge.
- Serve this traditional Greek rice pudding as a delicious dessert or mid-day snack with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Enjoy!

All the News the Big Guys Missed
Rabin Unveiling will be Held Today in Jerusalem
The Rabin family will be joined by Israeli leaders at the Mount Herzl Cemetery today, the same day late Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin would have celebrated his 74th birthday, for the unveiling of Rabin's permanent gravestone. The gravestone was designed by architect Moshe Safadiah at the request of Leah Rabin, and is fashioned from black basalt granite from the Golan Heights and white granite from the Galilee.
By Al Pessin (VOA-Jerusalem)
Israel has eased its closure of Palestinian territories, allowing goods to be transferred from Palestinian trucks to Israeli trucks at the Gaza border. The ban on people crossing remains in effect, hurting the Palestinian economy and inconveniencing tens of thousands of people. There have been many closures in the past, each lasting several days or a few weeks, but Israel says this closure could be a long one.
Even in the best of times, Israel's network of checkpoints along its pre-1967 border and around Jerusalem make the movement of Palestinians difficult. Vehicles with Israeli license plates generally pass through without even stopping. But those with Palestinian plates -- or Israeli cars with Palestinians inside -- must stop for the passengers to show identification and special permits to enter Israel, and, sometimes, for the vehicles to be searched.
During closures, the regular permits are not valid. Many people do not even try to get through -- or take back roads in the hope of avoiding Israeli patrols. Those who do try at the checkpoints face long lines, and, often, disappointment.
Ziad Abu Zayyad, a Palestinian journalist and activist who has just been elected to the new Palestinian council from the Jerusalem district rejects Israel's claim that the closure has been imposed for security reasons. He says it is an attempt to cut the links between Palestinians in the autonomous and soon-to-be autonomous territories and those who will remain under Israeli control for the foreseeable future, such as those in Jerusalem. Abu Zayyad says this effort will backfire.
But Israeli Foreign Minister Ehud Barak says Israel is no longer concerned about such a backfire of Palestinian public opinion, as it might once have been. Barak, the former military Chief of Staff, says keeping Israel's borders open is a good neighborly gesture, and that Israel cannot afford to make such a gesture if it is going to result in more terrorist attacks, such as the two bombings last Sunday. Barak says the newly elected Palestinian president, Yasir Arafat, is now in a strong enough position to crack down on the militants whether public opinion supports such a move or not.
Israel has laid out for Arafat exactly what it wants him to do -- the arrest of key activists, closure of offices and other facilities operated by the militants, stopping their sources of funding, ending public demonstrations in support of the militants, and other steps. Barak says Israel will be tough in evaluating whether he has complied, and will link that compliance with specific steps in the peace process.
By Penelope Souquet (VOA-New York)
A report released in New York says racist and anti-Semitic ideas are being spread over the internet, the international network of computers.
The report says there are a number of racist and anti-Semitic World Wide Web sites, that is, locations or bulletin boards on the computer internet. The report also suggests ways to counter this new wave of hatred. The hate groups and individuals with homepages on the user-friendly, graphics-oriented part of the internet, include the Ku Klux Klan, the Aryan Crusader and other white supremacist groups.
The 60-page report was published by the Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish organization dedicated to combating racial and ethnic discrimination.
The organization says it usually does not publicize the work of such hate groups but has decided to counter this propaganda by publishing its own page on the WWW. Wolf told reporters "The most powerful way to deal with hate speech is more truthful speech."
The ADL says in its report "The Web of Hate" -- that hatred on the internet is not new. What is new, it adds, is the way it is being disseminated: as individuals have more and more access to computers and the internet, these hate messages are delivered directly into their homes, offices, libraries and college campuses.
The organization says it has been negotiating with internet providers such as Prodigy and America Online to ban such hate groups from posting information on their internal bulletin boards. However, it says there is no way to prevent any kind of information from being published directly on the internet.
Israel Develops Inexpensive Communications Satellite
An Israeli company is developing a new remote-controlled airplane that will be able to remain airborne for several years at a time. The plane will be operated by solar energy or by energy beamed from the ground.
The system, named "Rotostar," is intended to be an inexpensive substitute for a communications satellite and can serve as a base for intelligence satellites. Eli Gamzon, the originator of the idea, said that because the unmanned planes utilize aviation technology and satellites require space technology, the Rotostar model is likely to cost only 20 to 25 percent of the cost of an average satellite.

ROCKS to RADAR
In broad terms what is this project about?
This project's mandate is to to explore the world of the human hand especially when hands are used to build, shape, repair or restore. It will look at the science of the hand-brain connection, the role hands have in learning and our sense of well-being. It will look at how we communicate and interrelate with others through our hands. It will recognize the importance of the skilled trades and why we should promote these careers more vigorously. It will advocate a relationship with man-made objects that respects the environment and values workmanship. It will bring attention to artists and inventors whose hands are an integral part of the creative process. It will show the rejuvenating joy of using hands for leisure pursuits.
How would you like to tell these stories?
My main objective is to produce
From Rocks to Radar
, a web-based documentary series. This project has evolved in many different directions but I strongly believe the web-series is the best option for various reasons. There is more support these days for short videos. Funding can come from broadcasters who are expanding their online presence, from funding bodies who support the arts or science education, from corporations who have a connection to the subject matter and from crowd funding. There are an increasing number of people in our society who have, often from their own experiences, realized complex and active use of our hands is essential in a world where passive consumption is just too difficult to avoid.
I also find doing short documentaries very satisfying and creative and the most suitable way to tell such a broad range of stories..
Why do you want to tell these stories?
Our daily lives have become saturated with media and digital technologies. We spend hours each day in front of a screen. We have become accustomed to instant gratification and to the large consumption of information. So it is easy to forget that everything outside our natural world has ultimately been created using hands. Manual skills require thought and patience and even if the finished result is purely functional it often requires creativity and imagination. These skills can be taught but mostly they are developed with experience. As a DIYer myself I understand the passion that goes along with doing manual activities. And where there is passion, there can be great stories.
Are there specific issues you want to explore?
How using our hands in 'effort-based activities' contribute positively to our mental health and feeling of well-being. Epidemiological research suggests that occurrences of depression were considerably less for our ancestors than in present generations. Experiments have also shown a lifestyle based on manual activity and physical effort does result in positive chemicals being released in our brains.
Prehistoric Prozac, by Kelly Lambert, Ph.D.
is a very good article that expands on these ideas. There has also been a lot of evidence that hands-on activities (specifically
Montessori methods
) have a great benefit for people who are suffering from dementia and Alzheimer's.
The removal of industrial arts from the education system
Like music and sports, industrial arts can be valuable for children in their development. It enhances hand-eye coordination, problem solving, self-confidence, cooperation and imagination. It also introduces them to a type of activity that may suit their personality and natural abilities. It may open career opportunities they might not have thought of considering the societal pressure to go to university. Industrial arts is still present in a few schools though more often as a separate program (in another building). On the other hand we are starting to see, in recognition of varied learning styles, a hands-on component being implemented in regular classes (
is one resource that promotes this idea). There is also the work of Italian physician and educator
Maria Montessori
who in 1897 started to develop theories of pedagogy where the five senses were a key part of learning. Montessori education is practiced in an estimated 20,000 schools worldwide.
Severe shortages in the skilled trades
This will be an even bigger issue when, for example, the current generation of electricians and plumbers start to retire. The lack of shop classes is partly to blame, along with the perception of the trades. Skilled trade jobs do not have the same status as white collar employment. While working with your hands can sometimes be dirty and physically taxing, the brain activity required can be considerable. What is needed is a patient, meticulous intelligence with good visual perception. These are not the same requirements as for a sales manger, a schoolteacher or a social worker. Different traits, different jobs. One of the more hopeful sign of how our attitudes might turn the corner are the
Skill Competitions
that happen around the world. The are also
Summer Manufacturing Camps
run in partnership with industry that give young people a unique opportunity.
Our relationship with our objects
More and more, we simply throw out our electronics and furniture when they're broken. The cost of repairing our devices often exceeds the cost of replacing them. Furniture may be cheaply made and cheaply priced, so when it starts to look the worse for wear, we replace it. This throw-away mentality has environmental costs and personal costs as well. We become casual about our stuff, lose an appreciation for quality, and feel that we have no control over our objects and in some ways our lives.
is one website that is devoted to helping people do simple repairs of their electronic devices. One encouraging trend is the number of community based
that are opening up around the world. This is in part because tools such as laser cutters, CNC machines and 3D printers are becoming affordable. To see what is being done to encourage and support young people and educators visit

Somehow I find myself sitting inside a bamboo framed window that's wide open, staring out at philodendron fronds with the warm evening wind and the sound of waves pouring through at me. Somehow I find myself on the Big Island of Hawaii and it hasn't taken me long to get used to being hugged by warm light and tropical air. I have made a cheeky winter escape! Something I am lucky enough to do to break up those long, dim, cold, wet Whistler months.
I traveled from one kind of beauty…
…to a completely different kind of beauty.
And as much as I miss my dog, this warm break has my body thanking me as I soak in the sun, dose up on vitamin sea and spin my pale legs back to life.
My favorite road ride took me from the quiet beach town of Puako, forward along the northwest coast, up through the hinterland town of Hawi and across to Pololu on the northeastern side. I could see Humpback Whales spouting and breaching beyond my weird curled bars and we took a short hike down to the black sand of Pololu Beach for a fresh post ride swim. My smile is still on my face. Another good out and back was following the Kalapana Beach Road shoreline on the highly volcanic southeastern edge of the island.
Because of old injuries, pain stops me from doing very long distances on the road but I am grateful to be making circles with my legs in anticipation of dirt season!
Now it's back home I go to my mountains and my pup. A bit more snow to play in until my part of the world starts waking from winter…
…and until, whether it's out my back door or somewhere new and exotic, my bikes take me on more beautiful rides.

It's been 20 years since Joey first climbed in Dawson's bedroom window in high waist jeans and a roll neck jumper.
What followed was five years of problematic storylines, emotional cliffhangers, and lots of close-ups of Dawson crying.
Since then its stars have gone on to live the kind of turbulent and fabulous lives even a teen drama scriptwriter couldn't dream up.
There's been a brief encounter with a cult, the tragic death of an ex taken way too young, and the most unlikely TV comeback.
Here's what the kids from Dawson's Creek have been up to in the last two decades:
James Van Der Beek AKA Dawson Leery
For a long time after Dawson's Creek things were quiet for the Beek.
But then he landed some guest roles on How I Met Your Mother and a Kesha music video and everyone remembered the legend that was Dawson Leery.
He then out Van Der Beek-ed himself, landing a role playing himself in the much underrated sitcom Don't Trust the B in Apartment 23, which made for bloody glorious TV.
These days, he's playing Diplo in the Vice series What Would Diplo Do?
(Don't Trust the B is on Netflix now FYI.)

Desktop Processor Integration for Intel® 64 Architecture
In order to implement Intel® 64 technology, the processor must contain support for that feature. Although most recent boxed Intel® Desktop Processors have support for Intel 64, it is always necessary to check that the processor supports this feature if you intend to implement it.
In order to take advantage of this technology, an entire 64-bit hardware and software solution stack is required. This includes processors, device drivers, operating systems, tools, and applications.
The primary value to users of Intel 64 lies in potential performance improvements achieved by the ability to address greater than 4GB of both virtual and physical memory.
Desktop system requirements
To take advantage of Intel 64, an entire 64-bit hardware and software solution stack is required.
An Intel® desktop processor with support for Intel 64 is required. Consult the Product Specifications and Comparisons to see which processors support Intel 64. The easiest way to find out if your processor supports Intel 64 is to use the search box in the upper right hand corner of this tool. Simply input the processor number into the search box and it will show you which Intel technologies are supported.
- Chipset
A motherboard with the one of the following chipsets is currently required to support Intel 64: Intel® 910, Intel® 915x/925X/XE, Intel® 945x946x/955X/975X, Intel® 965x/963x, Intel® 3 Series Express Chipset, Intel® 4 Series Express Chipset, Intel® 5 Series Express Chipset, Intel® 6 Series Express Chipset, or Intel® 7 Series Chipset.
The motherboard BIOS must have support for Intel 64. The processor will not operate in 64-bit mode without an Intel 64-enabled BIOS.
- Operating system (OS)
An OS that supports Intel 64 is required. Supported operating systems may include: Windows 7*, Windows Vista*, Windows XP Professional x64 Edition*, Windows 64-bit* client OS release, Red Flag* version 4.1, Novell Linux Desktop 9*, or Red Hat DT 3.0* and higher. Contact your OS vendor for more information on specific release dates and Intel 64 support.
- Drivers
Although your OS should come with standard 64-bit drivers, you must also update your hardware drivers with 64-bit enabled drivers to run in 64-bit mode.
- Applications
Applications must be coded and compiled to support Intel 64. Contact your software vendor for specific software capabilities.
Standard integration procedures should be followed for installing all of the various system hardware components. Once all the hardware components have been installed correctly, take the following recommended integration steps:
- Download and run the latest BIOS update for your motherboard. Some systems may not boot an Intel desktop processor with Intel 64 support if there is not BIOS support for that processor. In this case, you will need to install a processor into the motherboard that the BIOS does support in order to update to the latest BIOS.
- Boot the system and install an Intel 64 enabled operating system.
- Update system drivers with drivers encoded for Intel 64 support.
- Install 32-bit and 64-bit encoded software applications.
An Intel® processor with support for Intel 64 can operate in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode. In all modes, an Intel 64 enabled BIOS is required.
If a 32-bit operating system is installed, the processor will run in 32-bit mode. In this case, 64-bit drivers are not required.
With a 64-bit operating system, the computer will either operate in 64-bit mode or what is called Compatibility Mode. In either mode, all system drivers must be 64-bit. In 64-bit mode, 64-bit and 32-bit applications can be running in the system concurrently. Legacy 32-bit applications will run in Compatibility Mode.
64-bit applications will have new executables not compatible with 32-bit applications. In other words, 64-bit applications generally cannot share libraries with 32-bit executables.

It was a subtle claim nobody took seriously at the time – after all, Windows had been Microsoft's flagship product for years and the Cloud was just beginning to surface as a game-changer. Since then, Microsoft's share price has almost tripled and the Redmond-based giant is now the world's fourth most valuable company, trailing closely behind behemoths Apple, Amazon and Alphabet (Google).
Nadella obviously had a point – the world was changing and shifting towards a new age – the age of digital transformation. In this blog, we'll look at some of Satya Nadella's recent quotes and what they could tell us about the future.
"Helping society move forward is deeply grounded in Microsoft's mission of empowering every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. For business that means a digital transformation. Over the next 10 years, we'll reach a point where nearly everything has become digitized."
Empowering users is one of the key concepts in Microsoft's plans under Satya Nadella. The company has maintained a strong community throughout the years and given users the framework and all the necessary tools to improve and reinvent different kinds of solutions. Digital transformation is not something that overwhelms people while they stay passive – it requires patience, a hands-on approach and a readiness to build, block by block.
"All companies everywhere are becoming data companies—from farming to finance, from New York to New Delhi—businesses are using data to connect everything from cars to cows."
In a world of unstable markets, Big Data provides valuable insights and helps organizations protect themselves in the face of sudden changes. Devices connected to a centralized network (the Cloud) are constantly gathering data and making micro-adjustments, easing transitions and evolving. Satya Nadella wishes to make Microsoft's tech omnipresent, but barely noticeable – Big Data is a great example of this.
"Becoming more engaged with customers includes predicting what customers want before they know they want it, based on data intelligence, and offering it to customers in a way that's natural."
These days, organizations have to be aware of the fact that potential customers aren't in the dark anymore – in the age of digital transformation, they can purposefully look for specific products and services and quickly move on from what they think is irrelevant content. With products such as Dynamics 365 and CRM, personalized recommendations and a highly detailed 360 degree view of the customer are closer than ever.
"All the knowledge and insights you need exist inside your infrastructure—in your emails, your documents, your line of business applications—it's just waiting to be found using organizational analytics, and provide insights into what is going on."
Satya Nadella believes integration and a seamless transition between your operations should be something to aspire to in the future, and Microsoft is working hard towards that goal. With a single source of truth and a cloud-based infrastructure that synchronizes and upgrades its parts autonomously, organizations can greatly increase their efficiency.
Technological advances have yet to show their true potential and become ubiquitous, making lives easier without even being noticed. Satya Nadella has a vision, and it's certainly an exciting one:
"Our industry does not respect tradition. What it respects is innovation. Despite all this rapid change in the computing industry, we are still at the beginning of the digital revolution."
With Merit Solutions and Microsoft, your organization can ride the wave of change and innovate using technologies such as the Cloud, AI, IoT and Machine Learning. In the end, vision, perseverance and the willingness to adapt and improve is what separates market disruptors from all the others. Don't miss the opportunity to prepare for the future.

Philosophy 300
Professor Carboni
19 March 2013 The human search for knowledge and wisdom is something that is acceptable and it is quite often even expected in today's modern world. It is nothing new that humans seek for truth, understanding, and reason to why things are the way they are and how they came to be. Many people spend years going to school in attempt to master a profession, many others go about the motions trying to figure out their purpose in life. Whichever the case is, it seems as if knowledge and explanations are something always craved. Since the infant years, curiosity has been in human nature. "Why?" is a phrase that In some sense many humans acquire phiosophia or the love of wisdom, making them philosophers. The word philosophy derives from the Greek word philosphia (Barnes, 2001, p. xiv). , "Why?" the phrase that the early philosophers began to inquire. Philosophy did not just all of a sudden exist, early thinkers began to question the traditional stories and myths that they had been told, especially with many new ideas rushing in from nearby lands. They wondered how the universe was created and most importantly what it was, they looked for logical explanations to their questions. On their quest to do so, these Greek philosophers searched for the ruling principle or arche in order to explain nature (Barnes, p. xxi). The pre-Socratic philosophers had different arches and different concepts that revolved around their arches. Two of these natural philosophers were Thales and Anaximander. They were both from Miletus and Thales was believed to have taught Anaximander (Barnes, p. 18). However, it is interesting that although Anaximander was Thales's student, he formed his own concept of the world and its inhabitants. Myths were generally orally passed down from generations and generations. To the ancient Greeks, Hesiod's and Homer's myths and gods were an attempt to explain the natural world, "..the gods bring about natural disasters, make demands on human conduct, and determine our place in the afterlife" (Fiester, p.2). People were scared of reality so they used myths to cover up the truth and make them forget that they were scared. A difference between myth and traditional philosophy is that myth is self- justifying, meaning that there is no evidence that it is actually true except for the myth itself. This reassured people that their world was not chaotic and it provided it with some kind of form. The only thing that affirmed the myth's legitimacy was the peoples' belief in the gods (Frankfurt, p. 3). Traditional philosophy has at least some type of evidence that backs up the point that is attempted to be made. Myths also did not hold a proper argument structure as they were just a story being told. On the contrary, natural philosophy concepts make people question their own beliefs causing philosophy to have an argument structure. Another difference is that myth does not provide knowledge, much unlike natural philosophy. Traditional myth began to die out around the 6th century BCE in Asia Minor because trading with other countries became more affluent. Along with all of the interacting between the neighboring countries, the spread of new languages, ideas, and beliefs increased;
"..the Milesians were commercially undefatigueable. They traded not only with the Eastern empires but also with Egypt, establishing a trading emporium at Naucratis on the Nile delta.. They sent numerous colonies to settle in Thrace and by the Bosphorus and along the coast of the Black sea; and they had connections with Sybaris in south Italy" (xiii) .
Asia Minor was a busy trading place with many different people, different ideas, and different religions. The Greeks learned of these new ideas and beliefs and this may have caused them to question their own ideas and beliefs. Interacting with people who had different views on life, and religion may have influenced the Greek philosophers to step out…

Kybella Double Chin Treatment
Do you have a noticeable double chin that won't respond to dieting and exercising? When it comes to fat under the chin, there may not be a lot in the area, but even a small amount can give a person's face an unattractive appearance.
Liposuction used to be the best option for targeting fat under the chin. Although it was very effective, most people did not require such an invasive procedure to address the subtle but noticeable issue.
Kybella is the non-surgical answer to chin-fat reduction. Kybella is an FDA-approved product that is injected under the chin. Kybella breaks down and permanently destroys the fat cells that are giving you the appearance of a double chin.
After just a few treatments using Kybella injections, you can have the smooth and well-defined chin and neckline you desire. Contact Eterna Vein & Medical Center to schedule a consultation for your Kybella injections.

Researchers have found a gene that can make people resistant to the CJD, a brain eating disease. The study should find a way in a battle against possible epidemic caused by BSE infected beef. Also, these findings can give better information about the human brain diseases and causes of dementia.
CJD or Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is a rare brain disorder. There are three forms of this disease.
1. Sporadic form. It occurs naturally in the human brain.
2. Variant CJD, also known as vCJD. It is caused by eating infected beef.
3. Kuru form. It spread once in Papua New Guinea, because local tribes eat human brains. Those people eat brains of their dead. Because of this, the kuru epidemic occurred in the 50s. More than 2% of the population died each year. This custom is known as Fore.
Prof John Collinge from the University College London, was interested in kuru epidemic. It studied it more than 20 years. During that time, he discovered that some people in the Fore were immune. He and his team believed that the gene is responsible for the immunity.
Prof Collinge bred mice with this gene. He discovered that they were resistant to the kuru and other forms of the CJD. Now, scientists can use this gene in order to prevent CJD and other dementias.
Doctors were concerned for the vCJD in the 90s. It was caused by the infected beef. They believed that tens of thousand people will die from it. Until now, 177 people died in the UK, but one in 2.000 people carries the infection. According to the experts, it is important that we don't give up and drop our guard.

What about Good Government?
Many commentators have asked "what's wrong with Bill 78?"
My answer: Division III: the entire section about "peace, order and public security."
It reads:
A person, a body or a group that is the organizer of a demonstration involving 50 people or more to take place in a venue accessible to the public must, not less than eight hours before the beginning of the demonstration, provide the following information in writing to the police force serving the territory where the demonstration is to take place:
(1) the date, time, duration and venue of the demonstration as well as its route, if applicable; and
(2) the means of transportation to be used for those purposes.
When it considers that the planned venue or route poses serious risks for public security, the police force serving the territory where the demonstration is to take place may, before the demonstration, require a change of venue or route so as to maintain peace, order and public security. The organizer must then submit the new venue or route to the police force within the agreed time limit and inform the participants."
What is a demonstration? Does it include soccer games, church processions and neighbourhood get-togethers? Is this up to the police? Does it depend whether neighbours complain? Does it matter if all the participants wear a red square? What about a green square?
On Friday, the government was proposing that this section cover any group of 10 people or more. As that was being discussed, I worried about whether I should prepare reports of four different events for police for last weekend alone. Now I'm wondering whether volunteer organizers of every other event my family participates in have to be reported to the police.
It seems clear to me that this law gives too much power to the police, who don't have the resources to implement the section anyway. This is another example of Quebec's legislature passing layers of laws that no one knows how to implement.
Another problem with this section of Bill 78 is that it hints at Canada's historic preoccupation with "peace, order and good government" and yet misses the most important of the three for legislators to fix.
You don't have to know much to see that "good government" is a problem in Quebec. Yesterdays Charbonneau Commission into construction practices is the first sign of problems.
"The Quebec government created this commission of inquiry — which is totally impartial and independent, well-removed from any political considerations," said Justice France Charbonneau, who will run the inquiry. "Nobody can tell (the inquiry) what to do, whom to interrogate or how to investigate."
Except that the inquiry only gets to look at issues within the last 15 years and only within the terms of the documents that established the commission. I'm discovering, through research, that many of the problems over land use began as far back as the 1980's. Hopefully, all the documents used by the Commission will be publicized so that freelancers like me can expose the roots of the problem.
A second hint of trouble was the arrest last Thursday of former Montreal politician Frank Zampino. The former politician worked closely with Montreal Mayor Gérald Tremblay until he left politics in 2008. Zampino is alleged to have leaked insider information to Paolo Catania of Construction Frank Catania & Associates Inc, who was also arrested last week.
"There's no doubt that this affects the credibility of elected officials and, in this case, most acutely, of municipal officials," said Tremblay.
To follow the Charbonneau Commission on Twitter, use the hashtag #CEIC.

Location: Upper region of Kangra Valley, Himachal Pradesh
Climate: Generally pleasant though quite cold in winters.
Places to See: Kotwaali Bazaar, Tea Garden Cheelgari, Cricket Museum & more.
Best Time to Visit: All round the year (except monsoons from July to September)
Dharamsala is a well-known scenic hill town, located in the upper region of Kangra Valley, and just below the marvelous Dhauladhar ranges, in the state of Himachal Pradesh, India. It is admired for its picturesque valleys and renders amazing views of the mighty Himalayas. Thanks to its natural landscapes, Dharamsala has emerged as a popular travel destination in north India. And recently, it has acquired the status of being the second winter capital of Himachal Pradesh. Dharamshala is divided into two areas – upper Dharamshala which is popularly known as McLeod Ganj, and lower Dharamshala which has all the commercial centers, educational institutions and hospitals.
Dharamshala, in Hindi, means a resthouse; it served as a resthouse for the troops after the Second Anglo-Sikh War and hence, got its name. During the British rule, Dharamsala used to be their summer retreat and became the administrative capital of Kangra district in 1852. By 1855, it had two major places of civilian settlement, McLeod Ganj and Forsyth Ganj. Lord Elgin, the British Viceroy of India (1862–63), was so much impressed by the beauty of this place that he wanted it to be the summer capital of India. The original Tea House built by Lord Elgin is still prosperous and serves as a hangout for visitors to Dharamsala.
Talking about the climatic conditions, Dharamsala observes monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate. Summer, here, starts from early April and prevails till June, and the maximum temperature reaches upto 36 °C. Monsoon is witnessed from July to mid-September wherein up to 3000 mm of rainfall is generally recorded. Autumn is modest and lasts from October till November, and the average temperature remains 16-17 °C. Winter is observed from December till February. The month of March is marked by spring, offering a good time to visit the place.
Tourist Attractions
St. John in the Wilderness is famous Anglican church located in the forest near Forsyth Ganj. Constructed in 1852, this neo-Gothic stone building is also noted for its Belgian stained-glass windows. Dharamshala has lately been in news for the Dharamshala International Film Festival (DIFF), which is one of the sought-after events in India. Kotwaali Bazaar is the prime attraction of Dharamsala, apart from the famous Dharamshala International Cricket Stadium which offers amazing views of the surrounding mountains.
This municipal corporation of Kangra district serves as a trekking base for many treks in the upper Ravi valley and Chamba district. From here, you can also visit the religious shrines dedicated to Chamunda Devi, Chintpurni Devi, and Aghanjar Mahadev. An excursion to Khaniyara or Sidhbari is definitely worth it.
Accommodation – Hotels/Resorts in Dharamshala
Since it is a popular tourist destination, there is no dearth of hotels and resorts in Dharamsala. From the modest inns, lodges, budget hotels to luxurious resorts, the town has them all. Seeing the influx of malls, Dharamsala now also has a number of good eateries and restaurants serving a variety of delicacies.

Leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria, popularly known as Shi'ite, Sheikh Ibraheem El-Zakzaky, claimed yesterday that the military has again put soldiers on the red alert against his group.
He spoke yesterday at the end of Nahjul Balagha study session at the Hussainiyyah Baqiyyatullah in Zaria.
The movement had accused the military of killing 35 persons, including three of Zakzaky's sons during a "peaceful' procession" recently. Many others were also injured.
But 1 Division, Nigerian Army has denied the allegation, saying there was no such directive.
Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Abdul Usman, told The Nation on telephone: "As far as I am concerned, I am just hearing that from you now. But I can tell you, there is no such order."
The cleric said: "The Nigerian military after killing innocent people in Zaria at the recent Quds Day procession, are now on the defensive and therefore spreading rumour that the Shi'ites were going to avenge the killing of their members.
"The military having woefully failed in their plan, have stationed all their barracks on red alert to further unleash more violence and spill innocent blood.
"We will not be surprised if they decided to detonate bombs in their barracks, or even kill some of their own and say it is the Shi'ites taking revenge. They have been doing this all over in the name of Boko Haram.
"Because the military was shamed before the world, they realised that if they unleash further onslaught without justification, they would be further condemned." He accused the military of also commissioning some "newspapers to fabricate a malicious story and attributing" it to him.
The cleric quoted a memo emanating from an Army officer, which gave alleged fake account of what happened during the recent clash.
He confirmed receiving an invitation from the committee set up by the military under one Colonel Benjamin to investigate what led to the "gun-battle between the sect and the military."
He said the military probe panel was a waste of time, as it had already concluded that it was a gun-battle that resulted in the recent lost of lives.
