Wikipedia will black out the English language version of its website Wednesday to protest anti-piracy legislation under consideration in Congress, the foundation behind the popular community-based online encyclopedia said in a statement Monday night.
The website will go dark for 24 hours in an unprecedented move that brings added muscle to a growing base of critics of the legislation. Wikipedia is considered one of the Internet's most popular websites, with millions of visitors daily.
"If passed, this legislation will harm the free and open Internet and bring about new tools for censorship of international websites inside the United States," the Wikimedia foundation said.
The Stop Online Piracy Act in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Protect Intellectual Property Act under consideration in the Senate are designed to crack down on sales of pirated U.S. products overseas.
Supporters include the film and music industry, which often sees its products sold illegally. They say the legislation is needed to protect intellectual property and jobs.
Critics say the legislation could hurt the technology industry and infringe on free-speech rights. Among their concerns are provisions that would weaken cyber-security for companies and hinder domain access rights.
The most controversial provision is in the House bill, which would have enabled federal authorities to "blacklist" sites that are alleged to distribute pirated content. That would essentially cut off portions of the Internet to all U.S. users. But congressional leaders appear to be backing off this provision.
Tech companies such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo, Twitter, eBay, AOL and others have spoken out against the legislation and said it threatens the industry's livelihood. Several online communities such as Reddit, Boing Boing and others have announced plans to go dark in protest as well.
The Obama administration also raised concerns about the legislation over the weekend and said it will work with Congress on legislation to help battle piracy and counterfeiting while defending free expression, privacy, security and innovation in the Internet.
Wikipedia's decision to go dark brings the issue into a much brighter spotlight. A group of Wikipedia users have discussed for more than a month whether it should react to the legislation.
Over the past few days, a group of more than 1,800 volunteers who work on the site and other users considered several forms of online protest, including banner ads and a global blackout of the site, the foundation said. Ultimately, the group supported the decision to black out the English version of the site.
Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia who first announced the move on his Twitter account Monday, said the bills are a threat to the free, open, and secure web.
"The whole thing is just a poorly designed mess," Wales said in an email to The Associated Press.
Wikipedia is also requesting that readers contact members of Congress about the bill during the blackout.
"I am personally asking everyone who cares about freedom and openness on the Internet to contact their Senators and Representative," Wales said. "One of the things we have learned recently during the Arab spring events is that the Internet is a powerfully effective tool for the public to organize and have their voices heard."
Wikipedia will shut down access from midnight Eastern Standard Time on Tuesday night until midnight Wednesday.
This is the first time Wikipedia's English version has gone dark. Its Italian site came down once briefly in protest to an Internet censorship bill put forward by the Berlusconi government; the bill did not advance.
"Wikipedia is about being open," said Jay Walsh, spokesman for the Wikimedia foundation. "We are not about shutting down and protesting. It's not a muscle that is normally flexed."

I have only a limited amout of control over what these posts will be like. That's a counterintuitive thing to write, but it's also fairly obvious. After all, I'm not 'choosing' what to write about each week (beyond choosing to continue this series of posts). That's determined by Marvel's release schedule -- and, then, by the people involved in actually making the comics. Last week, there was a wealth of material to explore and an approach that I could latch onto with ease. "Scott Summers is the hero of Avengers vs. X-Men!" Just say the opposite of what is generally believed and, boom, instant material. Helped by the four comics released last week, specifically Avengers vs. X-Men #11. This week, the Avengers vs. X-Men comic released is Avengers #30 and it takes place after the event is over. How am I to write about the event then? This is an issue where Spider-Woman spends much of it acting as a means for Brian Michael Bendis to convince you that he's an awful writer before she turns around and acts as his in-story critique of that sort of portrayal of women... for no real reason. You could lose the first half and probably have a stronger comic. In the end, it's a comic that's not terribly good or memorable or worthwhile, even when taken out of the context of Avengers vs. X-Men and placed back in the context of Bendis's Avengers work. Were I reviewing it for a site like Comic Book Resources, I would probably spend 500 words saying those things in, possibly, nicer ways, but not too many people would read those words, because the one-and-a-half- or two-star rating would be enough.
But, here we are and I guess I should try to get something out of this comic...
I'm a little fascinated by the fact that both New Avengers #30 and Avengers #30 seem to take place after the end of Avengers vs. X-Men and... things are fine. We all expect that to be the case, but it's more than that. Things aren't just fine, they're almost 'normal.' You could put either issue in a different place in Marvel's history and not much would change. You'd need to rework some of the specifics in New Avengers #30, sure, but the basic idea of that issue was, after a big superhero to-do, Luke Cage struggles with what it means to be a husband and father while also being a superhero, and joins some other Avengers in fighting some bad guys before quitting the team. Take out Emma Frost and the fact that the bad guys hate mutants and... nothing that matters would change. The same thing applies in this issue, except in an even bigger way. You literally just need to take out the opening double-page spread and I'm not sure there's a specific Avengers vs. X-Men reference in the comic.
This is the event that Matters (capital M, of course) and Will Change Everything Forever (for now) and, before it's over, we're being treated to comics that demonstrate just how much it doesn't matter. At all. It's just another crisis -- another big event. Another giant threat to the planet that the heroes have to stop. The specifics don't matter. Phoenix? Might as well be Thanos or the Beyonder or Norman Osborn or an act of congress or the Scarlet Witch or Apocalypse or Kang or Ultron or Dr. Doom or the Skrulls or the Kree or the Kree and the Skrulls or Galactus or anything else. Because it doesn't matter.
Do you know the sort of balls it takes to put out comics that send that message before the event is even over? Avengers vs. X-Men #12 comes out in 12 days and Brian Michael Bendis has already moved on. Marvel clearly has with its promotion of Marvel NOW!
That's the reality that we all know when it comes to event comics. No one really thinks that this is the end-all, be-all of the shared superhero universe we are dropping in on. Next month, Avengers and X-Men comics will come out. And the month after that and after that and after that and after that... We know that. Marvel knows that. The creators know that. And we all know that everyone else knows it, too. But, I guess what I'm struggling with is this:
Do they have to be so obvious about it? Can we not at least pretend that this matters until it's done? Do they really not have the stamina to keep up the bullshit through to the end?
Tony Stark has the answer to all of those questions and more: "I'm zonked. [...] Can't SHIELD take care of it? [...] Ugh... Avengers Assemble."
Next week: Wolverine and the X-Men #17. (In the solicitations and house ads, this is listed as an Avengers vs. X-Men comic, but it doesn't have the 'AVX' code on the Diamond list like every other Avengers vs. X-Men book so far. So, we'll see if it's actually an applicable comic or not when it ships on Wednesday. If it is, great. If not... well, I guess I'll have to do something quick thinking, eh?)

Virgin Mary: a Loving God Would Not Generate Conflict or Cause a Rift
Thursday, November 29th, 2012 @ 15:20
My dear children, you must pray for all God's visionaries in the world at this time. They suffer much and discord has been created within and outside of their missions.
Many people reject them. Even more reject those visionaries and prophets who have made their missions known to the world.
You must unite as one if you truly love my Son. There must be no room for jealousy, slander or hatred among you. When this happens the evil one has tempted you to dismiss, not the prophet, but the Holy Word of my Son.
This is a time when no division must be allowed to create barriers amongst those who follow the Teachings of my Son.
When there is division there is distraction. This stops the flow of prayer and delays you in helping to save souls.
A Loving God would not generate conflict or cause a rift. To slander another in the Name of God is a sin in my Father's Eyes.
When you do this you offend my Son who has always said that you must love one another as brother and sister.
When you use the Name of my Son to damage the reputation of others, you must beg my Son to forgive you.
It is time children to be strong and to honour my Son by remembering all that He has taught you.
Many events foretold are now about to be seen in the world.
There is no time for division amongst those who honour my Son.
Soon, divisions will be forced upon Christians. This is why united you will become a strong army worthy to proclaim the Word of God.
Divided, you will be sucked into a vacuum where pagan laws will be forced upon your Church.
When you cause division there can be no unity.
Only those strong of faith, united within the Heart of my Son, will forge ahead in my Son's army.
Your beloved Mother
Mother of Salvation

Fifty-one years ago this week, Project Mercury Astronaut John H. Glenn, Jr. became the first American to orbit the Earth. Glenn's spacecraft name and mission call sign was Friendship 7.
Mercury-Atlas 6 (MA-6) lifted-off from Cape Canaveral's Launch Complex 14 at 14:47:39 UTC on Tuesday, 20 February 1962. It was the first time that the Atlas LV-3B booster was used for a manned spaceflight.
Three-hundred and twenty seconds after lift-off, Friendship 7 achieved an elliptical orbit measuring 143 nm (apogee) by 86 nm (perigee). Orbital inclination and period were 32.5 degrees and 88.5 minutes, respectively.
The most compelling moments in the United States' first manned orbital mission centered around a sensor indication that Glenn's heat shield and landing bag had become loose at the beginning of his second orbit. If true, Glenn would be incinerated during entry.
Concern for Glenn's welfare persisted for the remainder of the flight and a decision was made to retain his retro package following completion of the retro-fire sequence. It was hoped that the 3 straps holding the retro package would also hold the heat shield in place.
During Glenn's return to the atmosphere, both the spent retro package and its restraining straps melted in the searing heat of re-entry. Glenn saw chunks of flaming debris passing by his spacecraft window. At one point he radioed, "That's a real fireball outside".
Happily, the spacecraft's heat shield held during entry and the landing bag deployed nominally. There had never really been a problem. The sensor indication was found to be false.
Friendship 7 splashed-down in the Atlantic Ocean at a point 432 nm east of Cape Canaveral at 19:43:02 UTC. John Glenn had orbited the Earth three (3) times during a mission which lasted 4 hours, 55 minutes and 23 seconds. Within short order, spacecraft and astronaut were successfully recovered aboard the USS Noa.
John Glenn became a national hero in the aftermath of his 3-orbit mission aboard Friendship 7. It seemed that just about every newspaper page in the days following his flight carried some sort of story about his historic fete. Indeed, it is difficult for those not around back in 1962 to fully comprehend the immensity of Glenn's flight in terms of what it meant to the United States and indeed the free world.
John Herschel Glenn, Jr. will turn 92 on 18 July 2013. His trusty steed, the Friendship 7 spacecraft, is currently on display at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.

VATICAN CITY – Former Cardinal Theodore McCarrick has been found guilty by the Vatican of sex abuse and defrocked, as calls rose Saturday for Pope Francis to reveal what he knew about the once-powerful American prelate's apparently decades-long predatory sexual behavior.
The announcement Saturday, delivered in uncharacteristically blunt language for the Vatican, meant that the 88-year-old McCarrick, the former archbishop of Washington, D.C., becomes the highest-ranking churchman and the first cardinal to be punished by dismissal from the clerical state, or laicization.
He was notified Friday of the decision, which was upheld upon his appeal and approved by Pope Francis.
The pontiff next week leads a summit of bishops from around the world who have been summoned to Rome help him grapple with the entrenched problems of clerical sex abuse and the systematic cover-ups by the Catholic church's hierarchy.
Decades of revelations about priests who have sexually preyed on minors and their bosses who shuffled abusive clergy from parish to parish instead of removing them from access to children have shaken the faith of many Catholics. They also threaten the moral authority of Francis and even the survival of his papacy.
McCarrick, who in his prestigious red cardinal robes hobnobbed with presidents, other VIP politicians and pontiffs, is now barred from celebrating Mass or other sacraments including confession and from wearing clerical garb. He is to be referred to as Mr. McCarrick.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Holy See's guardian of doctrinal purity, issued a decree on Jan. 11 finding McCarrick guilty of "solicitation in the sacrament of confession, and sins against the Sixth Commandment with minors and adults, with the aggravating factor of the abuse of power," the Vatican said. That commandment forbids adultery.
On Wednesday, Congregation officials considered his appeal and upheld the decree.
The pope "recognized the definitive nature of this decision made in accordance with (church) law, rendering it as 'res iudicata,'" the Vatican said, using the Latin phrase for admitting no further recourse.
The McCarrick scandal was particularly damning to the church's reputation because it apparently was an open secret in some ecclesial circles that he slept with adult seminarians. Francis yanked McCarrick's rank as a cardinal in July after a U.S. church investigation found credible an allegation he fondled a teenage altar boy in the 1970s.
McCarrick's civil lawyer, Barry Coburn, said Saturday that his client had no comment on the defrocking.
Coburn declined to say if McCarrick would stay at the residence in Kansas where he moved after Francis ordered him to live in penance and prayer while the investigation into his actions continued.
But the Salina, Kansas, diocese, said "Mr. McCarrick will continue to reside at the St. Fidelis Friary in Victoria until a decision of permanent residence is finalized."
Besides bishops arriving for the sex abuse summit, victims' rights advocates are also converging on Rome. They are demanding that Francis, other Vatican officials and bishops elsewhere come clean about how McCarrick managed such a meteoric rise through church ranks despite reports about his sexual life.
"The pope has known from the earliest days of his papacy, or he should have known, that ex-cardinal McCarrick was a sexual predator," said Anne Barrett Doyle, an advocate at BishopAccountability.org.
"He has a resistance to removing bishops and he also has a tolerance for bishops who are sexual wrongdoers," Doyle told The Associated Press on Saturday near St. Peter's Square.
Of the defrocking, Doyle said: "Let McCarrick be the first of many. I can think of 10 other bishops who are substantively, credibly accused of sexual abuse with minor and sexual misconduct with adults, who should be laicized."
A conservative lay group, The Catholic Association, said in a statement that much more must be done to hold accountable "those in the church hierarchy who looked the other way as McCarrick rose through their ranks" and to ensure that priestly celibacy is restored and youths are safeguarded from sexual abuse.
Walking with Doyle was Phil Saviano, a board member of BishopAccountability.org, and a survivor of sexual abuse by a priest. While calling McCarrick's defrocking "ultimately a good thing," he said the punishment should have been meted out long ago.
He said he hoped Francis isn't "throwing a bone to his dissenters in an attempt to quiet everybody down. And then McCarrick will be the one and only, because there are certainly many others who have allegations against them who should face some accountability."
His account of being abused helped the Boston Globe produce a Pulitzer-winning investigation into church cover-ups, which was chronicled in the movie "Spotlight."
When ordained a priest in his native New York City in 1958, McCarrick embraced a vocation that required celibacy. Later on in his career, McCarrick curried cachet at the Vatican as a stellar fundraiser. A globe-trotting powerbroker, McCarrick liked to be called "Uncle Ted" by the young seminarians he courted.
Despite apparent common knowledge in church circles of his sexual behavior, McCarrick rose up through the ranks, even serving as the spokesman for fellow U.S. bishops when they enacted a "zero tolerance" policy against sexually abusive priests in 2002.
One of his accusers, James Grein, the son of a family friend of McCarrick's, testified to church officials that, among other abuses, McCarrick had repeatedly groped him during confession. He said the abuse, which went on for decades, began when he was 11.
"Today I am happy that the pope believed me," Grein said in a statement issued through his lawyer. He expressed hope that McCarrick "will no longer be able to use the power of Jesus' church to manipulate families and sexually abuse children."
Grein said pressure must be put on U.S. state attorney generals and senators to change the statute of limitations for abuse cases.
"Hundreds of priests, bishops and cardinals are hiding behind man-made law," he said.
The current archdiocese of Washington, D.C., where McCarrick was posted at the pinnacle of his career from 2001-2006, said it hoped that the Vatican decision "serves to help the healing process for survivors of abuse, as well as those who have experienced disappointment or disillusionment because of what former Archbishop McCarrick has done."
Complaints were also made about McCarrick's conduct in the New Jersey dioceses of Newark and Metuchen, where he previously served.
Francis himself became implicated in the decades-long McCarrick cover-up after a former Vatican ambassador to Washington accused the pope of rehabilitating the cardinal from sanctions imposed by Pope Benedict XVI despite being told of his penchant for young men.
Francis hasn't responded to those claims but he ordered a limited Vatican investigation. The Vatican has acknowledged the outcome may produce evidence that mistakes were made and said Francis would "follow the path of truth, wherever it may lead."
Sexual abuse scandals have threatened to taint the legacy of past papacies, including that of John Paul II, who has since been made a saint.
The Rev. Marcial Maciel, a pedophile, enjoyed John Paul II's admiration for his success in spurring vocations and for inspiring generous financial donations.
Maciel's predatory crimes against children were ignored for decades by the Vatican bureaucracy.

!!! Version 2.2 of plugin is compatible with Gutenberg for translations
!!! Version 2.1 of plugin is fully compatible with WPML and Polylang to easly manage texts translations !!!
!!! Version 2 of plugin is GDPR compliant – Cookie name for user preferences is now "CookiePreferences-[wp_install_dir]" !!!
Like others plugin, Smart Cookie Kit blocks cookies until the visitor accepts them, but it unlocks them asyncronously (without refreshing the current page): this logic increases server performance, improve user experience, and, more important, makes the plugin compatible with cache plugins!!
Thinked for marketing-oriented sites, this plugin blocks standard scripts and conversion/remarketing scripts (including the "noscript" tag too).
Why I decided to create this plugin?
There are a lot of plugins for cookies management… But:
Many work on the server, modifying some code portions directly in the output: if is there a cache system, it will cache the page in the version for the user that "fired" the cache creation (with modified scripts if the user has not accepted cookies, or with the original scripts if the cookies were accepted), and that version will be served to ALL visitors, regardless of their acceptance.
The problem: it is not possible use cache systems. -
When user accepts cookies, it is necessary to open another page to have original scripts working. A lot of plugin have done a step forward, making an automatic refresh of the visited page, but web servers have to work again to serve the "correct" page and this may be a serious problem with slow connections (think to mobile devices), heavy pages (without cached pages!!), pages with external resources (Youtube videos, Ads, Social Plugins, …). Has it ever appened that you start reading some content or jump below to search content of interest and the page scrolls back on the top because of a refresh?!
The problem: worst server performance and user experience. -
Many lets specify a page that contains cookie policy (to link that in the banner), but often they show the cookie banner in that page too.
This is not a big problem, I know, but it is a detail! 😉
I searched for a plugins that would not unblock cookies directly in the output from the server, to permit the use of cache systems; more over, I would like "things" faster and smoother without page refreshes and heavy loads.
My research had not satisfactory results (for me), so I decided to write my own plugin!
The main functionality are the following:
It recognises and modify automatically scripts, iframes and images to block them (the block happens directly in the output from the server).
It permits you to tag code to block.
It shows the cookie banner only if it is necessary.
It includes in the banner the link to your cookie policy page, and it does not show the banner in that page!
Once the user accepts the policy (or when policy is already accepted), it unblocks and run scripts via javascript, without a page refresh. Being via javascript, the unblock happens even if there are active cache systems!
Please write on the WordPress official support area: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/smart-cookie-kit
For questions, support or suggestions, you could write to: info[-at-]nicolamodugno[-dot-]it
To install the plugin and get it working..
- Decompress the file 'smart-cookie-kit.zip' and upload the dir 'smart-cookie-kit' to the dir 'wp-content/plugins/' of your WordPress site.
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
- The plugin is working now with default settings. You can configure it from "Settings" > "Smart Cookie Kit" menù.
Is the plugin compatible with WPML and Polylang?
From version 2.1, Smart Cookie Kit detects when a site is published in multiple languages with WPML or Polylang. In that case, it activates an option to insert the content of the banner in a mask similar to that for posts and pages, so it is possible to manage the contents translations following the normal translation procedure of the mentioned plugins.
JavaScript error "google is not defined"
This error occurs because "something" is trying to init the maps when the Google Map script is not loaded yet (it was blocked by Smart Cookie Kit!).
Give a read to this thread: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/uncaught-referenceerror-google-is-not-defined-5/ -
This problem is caused by the PHP version used on the web server. Please, change your web server configuration (or ask to your system administrator) to use a PHP version >= 5.4 (checking if others components raise errors).
Does the plugin stores visitors policy acceptance?
Yes, optionally. The plugin can save a log into the server every time a visitor updates his preferences.
The logs are stored and protected from public access in the "/wp-content/cookie-preferences-log/" directory. -
Depending on the theme, the default CSS rules may not be enough to view correctly the banner.
It may help modify the field "CSS for banner content" adding this rule: "box-sizing:border-box;" -
Yes, optionally. From the version 2.0.4 of Smart Cookie Kit 🙂

Organizing a home seems like a significant challenge. Fortunately, there are easier ways to make this happen. In less than an hour per day, it is possible to organize a home from top to bottom. Getting these unnecessary items out of the way might even prevent people from stubbing their toes! How can this be possible?
Start Getting Rid Of Unnecessary Items
Start by creating two boxes. The first box should have the word "donate" written on it. The second box should have the "trash" written on it. Then, go through every room in the home. Find items that can be donating. Take them to a local Goodwill or Salvation Army. Remember to get a receipt because these items may be tax-deductible, as long as you work with a trained tax professional.
Then, take items that can be thrown away and place them in the "trash" box. Be prepared to throw these out. This will instantly create more room in the home.
Target The Spice Cabinet
A lot of homes have unnecessary space wasted in the spice cabinet. Think about organizing them alphabetically. Be sure to check if any spices have expired, as they might need to be tossed out. Once the spices are all in the right spot, there will be a lot more space in the kitchen. That way, it will be easier to organize utensils, appliances, plates, bowls, cups, and the pantry itself.
Time To Deal With The Decorations
Once the holidays are over, it is time to organize the decorations. Make sure that each holiday has its own separate box. Then, make sure the boxes stack on top of each other. With a separate box for each holiday, it should be easy to store all the decorations in one place. This will free up a lot of other space in closets, storage areas, and cabinets.
Get The House Organized In An Hour Per Day
Concentrate on each small area, going room by room and "decluttering" as it will create a lot more space in the home, and in sections, it is easier to get everything organized. Ensure that everything has its place. It might even be helpful to write this down somewhere. Even though it might take some time to get used to it, having more open space in the home is never a bad thing!

The U.S. mortgage market is red hot right now. After a year of pandemic living, more and more people are ready to have extra space at home. With all those potential buyers searching the market, housing inventory is ultra-low and competition is extreme. A

A Shot of Green Sunday
I should be out pruning rose bushes, then spraying them. It's also a good time to do outdoor painting because for some reason we have been having a period of dry and warm weather when it is usually rainy and cool.
Instead Sweetie and I searched yesterday for the break in the invisible fence that needs to be repaired before we can bring a new dog home. I have been missing Xam but also missing the joy of having a dog. Our neighbor was telling us yesterday of his positive experience with GGLRR, a local rescue group. He was grinning like a boy while we were meeting his recently adopted yellow lab. We still have a few things to do before we can go looking but I like the idea of a rescued dog instead of a puppy.
I've also been having a really fine time reading a book called 'As Always, Julia' which is a compilation of some of the letters between Julia Child and Avis DeVoto. Their friendship began when Julia read an article by Mrs. DeVoto's husband where he was a strong supporter of steel knives vs stainless steel ones. The steel ones hold their edge better. Julia sent him some French ones and a nice letter. Avis was helping with his mail and so she sent a return letter and the friendship began that way. They didn't even meet for a long time but found that they had similar interests in cooking and in politics. There were even some mutual friends.
Since I love the topic of cooking and love Julia Child's way with a recipe, plus have been a lover of politics since I was about 10 years old, this book is enthralling for me. It's also of extra interest because the time frame is the 50's when a lot was going on in American politics. I was a history major in college, but our curriculum never covered anything past the Second World War, so I'm learning a lot, even if it is from a certain perspective. Avis' husband Bernard was also influential in conservation issues, particularly Western ones, so that's also of interest. Once I've finished the book I hope to spend time on the Internet following up on some of the footnotes.
The other thing I've been up to is ...surprise!...bread baking. Tomorrow I'll have the perfect recipe for any of you who want the delight of freshly made yeast bread but don't have a lot of time. The next day, hopefully, I'll be able to post a lovely Spelt and Wheat Sourdough Loaf that is currently shaped and rising.
For today I have a suggestion on kitchen decor. Although I love to have a little bouquet on the window sill, right now the only thing in my garden that could be used for that are lavender stalks. I love them but the gray green isn't uplifting. Instead I've found that an inexpensive bunch of Italian parsley brings a nice shot of bright green into the kitchen and is handy for cooking too.
Happy Sunday!

Every new thing I find out about Saint Julia tells me she was such a brilliant person. My friend Laurie got to meet her when she worked at the CIA in St. Helena (envious, envious!)and she was just so gracious and funny. People here have very little idea who she was, which still strikes me as funny...
ReplyDeleteNot sure that Julia was a saint but she sure was fun and brilliant and a hard worker and passionate. I'm envious of people who met her but even more so of people who were able to become her friend. This book shows what a great friend she could be. I think she is an American phenomenon, like turkey

The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update Feature Focus
by Brett Howse on November 10, 2017 8:00 AM ESTWindows 10 has finally settled into a groove. We are just over two years from the initial release of Windows 10. Part of the promise of Windows 10 was Windows as a service, or in other words, continual updates to Windows rather than monolithic version releases every couple of years. However, the haphazard schedule of feature updates was not pleasing to one stable customer of Microsoft's. Businesses don't love surprises, and they need time to plan ahead, and test, in order to deliver the vision that Microsoft has envisioned for Windows 10 going forward, so 2017 is the first year we get to see the new spring and fall updates, first with the Creators Update on April 11, 2017, and now the Fall Creators Update which became widely available on October 17, 2017.
The biannual release schedule still might be too aggressive for a lot of enterprises, but it's a balancing act for Microsoft to keep the features coming for consumers, security updates coming for enterprise, and of course, keeping Windows 10 fresh in the eyes of everyone. Hopefully this new schedule works out though, since it's nice to see fewer, smaller updates, rather than annual massive updates which may cause even more challenges.
Windows 10 Version History | |||||
Version | Version Number | Release Date | |||
Windows 10 Original Release | 1507 | July 29, 2015 | |||
November Update | 1511 | November 10, 2015 | |||
Anniversary Update | 1607 | August 2, 2016 | |||
Creators Update | 1703 | April 5, 2017 | |||
Fall Creators Update | 1709 | October 17, 2017 |
And a smaller update is arguably what we've had for both of the 2017 releases for Windows, and that's certainly not a bad thing. That's not to take away from the many small changes and fixes under the hood, but more a fact that Windows 10 is solid, and stable, and updates only need to further smooth out some of the rough spots, and add a few new ideas for people to utilize. Windows 10 is now well known, with an official monthly active user base of over 500 million devices. It's a solid number, despite being well under initial targets at launch.
With the Fall Creators Update, Microsoft has added quite a few new features, including some that missed out on the April update. They've taken the first step towards an improved OS and app design language since Windows 10 first launched, they've added more accessibility, more security, and finally added one of the top feature requests since Windows 10 launched. Let's dig into the changes.

Free is free, right? Microsoft, keep them coming a the timely manner and I just might turn on Full Diagnostic data for you. -
ddriver - Friday, November 10, 2017 - link
I like how you think that turning it off somehow keeps your data safer ;) -
"Bullwinkle J Moose" - Friday, November 10, 2017 - link
Speaking of keeping your data safer......
Here is a juicy quote>
"One thing you still can't do is actually view the site certificate. The information provided by Edge is very basic, with no option to open the certificate in the more advanced Windows certificate tools to check the trust chain"
Also irrelevant to the "Improved" security claim
Microsoft still lets most "trusted" software through the Firewall by default as long as they have a "Valid" certificate
Yes, Microsoft lets malicious copies of CCleaner, VLC and pretty much all the other "trusted" applications who have been in the news lately because they had "Valid" certificates for compromised installers (Directly from the manufacturer B.T.W.)
Microsoft should block ALL applications by default (both sending and receiving) including ALL Windows components and telemetry "IF" they were concerned about end user security, but they are not
Microsoft now has all the telemetry they need to improve their products for older hardware so why won't they turn it off?
Because it's a Spyware Platform!
You can't really spy on EVERYONE if you close all the backdoors.....DUH!
and sending encrypted messages won't help you if the NSA is watching you type the message!
Double DUH! -
5080 - Friday, November 10, 2017 - link
I hope you don't use any Intel CPU's if you're that concerned about spy ware in your system. The Intel Management Engine or ME is spying on you even of your system is powered down.Google is working on a solution to kill the MINIX based ME, but they haven't figured out how to do it yet without disabling some of the CPU's features.
People don't really care about the collection of telemetry data, if they would really care than no one would buy any more cell phones, Chromebooks or Windows PC's. It has become a part of how we consume and use this devices. -
"Bullwinkle J Moose" - Friday, November 10, 2017 - link
Oh you are so wrong 5080
The Intel Management Engine is disabled and has never been used on ANY of my computers
There is even an app you can download and check whether or not it is enabled
Never EVER installed the ME software either
I could see this problem coming 10 years ago! -
5080 - Friday, November 10, 2017 - link
Intel constantly "optimized" ME on their CPU's. Who knows, when they can activate this without user consent. The disturbing part is that the option is there. -
linuxgeex - Saturday, November 11, 2017 - link
Actually, unless you specifically purchased a mobo with Coreboot, you have an active ME and you just don't know it. -
negusp - Saturday, November 11, 2017 - link
Lol yeah he's a retard. Any recent Intel CPU needs a couple BIOS pages wiped to have the ME disabled. -
shabby - Friday, November 10, 2017 - link
Could of swore that needed an intel network card to fully function. -

Correct Shabby
I think Steve Gibson covered that in a Security Now video

For each image uploaded WordPress generates several versions with different sizes. These images will be inserted
in the post content using the visual editor selecting the right format size for the current theme, so that
images can be displayed correctly in the theme layout avoiding the overflow to the sidebars or another elements.
These images are now part of the content, and are harcoded in posts independently to any change in the design
or behavior of the blog.
Therefore, when switching your theme to another theme smaller, or the new theme is very big respect the old
layout, may be these images do not fit perfectly with the new design.
For these cases the purpose of this plugin is the searching in the post content of images with the old image sizes
(that result bad sizes for the current theme) and replace it for the right image format: thumbnail, medium, large,
full or custom format size.
The process is simple and consists of three steps. The first step is a form to introduce the width to find, or the
period between two widths separated by an hyphen (-) with max 100 points of difference. Optionally you can enter
a custom post type, or leave blank for the 'post' post type.
In the next step present the coincidence or multiple coincidences for each post, with the old html code in grey color,
and in black the replacement, and also the new image is displayed. For each item there is a checkbox (by default checked)
that you can uncheck if the result is wrong or an exception.
Finally, at the end of the list, a submit button can perform these changes. Before this final step, is advisable to
backup your posts table.
- Unzip and upload replace-content-image-size folder to the
directory - Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Go to menú Tools > Replace Content Image Size and follow the steps.
- Is this plugin safe for the content of my posts?
Each post that needs to be altered goes through a process of reconstruction that fragments in chunks the post content
(it is splitted based in newline character), replaces img elements and attributes width and height, and finally implodes
to join the fragments and update the posts table. It is possible that an strange error may occur, and for this reasons
we recommend to backup your posts table before launch de last step of the replacement process.

What to see and do in the Baltic capitals right now
The Baltic capitals of Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius have become firm favorites among trendsetters across Europe. This season they are all packed full of fresh things to do - and eat. Choose one city to explore or tour all three with our tips in mind.
The Tallinn Fotografiska photography museum has established itself quickly as the prime destination for all culture lovers. Three new exhibitions by photography giants, Arno Rafael Minkkinen, Maisie Cousin and Nick Brandt, are opening in September and October this year, so now is a good time to visit or revisit.
Another interesting, although a bit more risqué, new exhibition has opened recently in the Tallinn City Museum. The exhibition called Indecent Tallinn focuses on the desires and sexual behavior in the city from the 15th century to World War II. If you are interested in learning even more about this shady side of history the museum also runs guided tours through the Old City.
One of Tallinn's destination restaurants Leib closed last year. Luckily the owners decided to launch a new concept in the same location. Restaurant Lee is focused on communal eating and serves food designed be shared. It continues Leib's tradition of supporting local artisan growers and producers as well as focusing on seasonality.
Telliskivi area has been the home of the hipsters for several years. One of the effects of this has been a surge in small independent breweries with their very own bars. The newest to open its doors is Valmiermuiža brewery - which in fact originates from the village of Valmiera in Latvia. The bar has its own shop, and it also hosts regular tasting sessions.
If you haven't visited the Kanepes cultural centre in Riga yet, do it now! The center has a lovely restaurant and a café, but the real attraction is its many cultural events. There is plenty to experience in art and music, and if you have a love of film, you are in for a treat. The inhouse cinema Kino Augusts does great theme nights such as Documentary Sundays and focuses on films you can rarely see on the mainstream screens.
The National Opera in Riga has started a varied season with opera and ballet, both traditional and modern. There are lots of classics from Swan Lake to La Cenerentola to choose from. If you however want to see something completely new you could opt for a ballet performance called 2 metres, tackling the subject of social distancing. When travelling with kids get tickets to Karlsson flies, a ballet based on the popular character by children's author Astrid Lindgren.
There is even something new happening in the hotel scene in Riga. If you are willing to splash out a bit book your stay at the newly opened A22 hotel. This luxury hotel is incredibly elegant with rooms full of design classics. It also has a spa, a gym and an a la carte style breakfast that's been receiving rave reviews from guests.
For something new to eat around town, you could head out to Space Falafel. Despite the name it is not just a falafel joint, but instead an authentic Israeli restaurant serving traditional dishes such as Shaksuhka and Pastrami sandwiches. In the evenings the restaurant adopts more of a bar vibe complete with cocktails, and some nights even a DJ playing music.
Vilnius museum scene got an injection of new energy when MO museum opened its doors in 2018. It focuses on modern and contemporary art by Lithuanian artists. Even just the building designed by architect Daniel Libeskind is worth seeing but the exhibitions this year are equally interesting. The main exhibition is called Celebrate for Change and it explores celebration in its many forms. Later this winter the museum will host the exhibition of Young Painter Prize, a project for artists under the age of 30 working in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania.
For somewhere new to stay, try Kesminta Old Town Hotel. Guests have been loving this stylish yet no-frills hotel. It is ideally located bang in the middle of the old town very near many of Vilnius main sights. The staff has been commended for their exceptionally friendly and helpful service.
Nineteen18 offers one of the best fine dining experiences in the Baltics. Even if it opened its doors in 2018, it can still be labelled as something new - especially as the menu evolves constantly. The food is highly innovative and focuses on seasonal ingredients, some plucked directly from the restaurant's very own farm! You can find Nineteen18 in the luxurious Hotel Pacai, a truly opulent 17th century palace in central Vilnius.

Network Announces More ITC Soundtrack CDs
Of course, the hope is that the fact that Network is including these selections on this set means that they're hard at work on full-fledged soundtrack sets for each of these series, and this is only a taster. Here's hoping!
Including Music From The Saint and The Persuaders!
UK-based DVD company network, who over the past few years have produced a steady output of fantastic, multi-disc soundtracks for a number of ITC spy series including Danger Man, The Prisoner, Jason King and others, have announced a new wave of CD titles. Whereas the original releases were sometimes up to five discs and comprehensive, sometimes including multiple variations on the same theme, this wave will be comprised of single disc highlights from each of the box sets. Highlight CDs due out November 2 include Man in a Suitcase: Original Soundtrack Highlights, Danger Man: Original Soundtrack Highlights (drawing from the company's two separate sets covering the original half-hour series and the later hour-long show, known in the U.S. as Secret Agent), The Prisoner: Original Soundtrack Highlights, Department S: Original Soundtrack Highlights and Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased): Original Soundtrack Highlights. Each of these single-disc releases will retail for £9.78, which makes them a good option for fans who really want all the key themes and a good flavor of the incidental score from their favorite series, but aren't obsessive enough to require every surviving cue available. (For those of us who are that obsessive, like me, the original sets will remain available.)
But the biggest news of Network's announcement is not the highlights discs. The real news is a two-disc compilation called The Music of ITC. Not only does this essential collection of cool music draw from all of the series listed above, it also includes "exclusive music suites from The Persuaders!, The Zoo Gang, Return of the Saint and The Baron that are not available elsewhere!"
While there are only four cues from The Persuaders!, I am thrilled to have even that! For years the only music available from that series has been John Barry's iconic theme! That theme is present and accounted for, as is the song that plays during the splitscreen chase scene in the first episode. Since Ken Thorne is credited, presumably that means the remaining two cues come from his score music. I'm also excitedly looking forward to the eight tracks representing Return of the Saint (Brian Dee & Irving Martin, John Scott and Guido & Maurizio de Angelis are the credited composers)! Other delicacies include eight selections from The Zoo Gang (consisting of both Paul McCartney's title theme and Ken Thorne's incidental music), three tracks from The Adventurer, seven from The Baron (Edwin Astley) and, finally, eight from The Saint (Astley again). The music from The Saint isn't described as previously unreleased, so I'm a little worried that might be cues already included on Astley's soundtrack album, but hopefully not... Overall, though, there are enough extremely rare musical treasures on this tracklist to have me positively giddy! I can't wait for this CD!
Of course, the hope is that the fact that Network is including these selections on this set means that they're hard at work on full-fledged soundtrack sets for each of these series, and this is only a taster. Here's hoping!

The Hunter…
Dare O'Shaughnessy had the world in the palm of his hand. A man known and feared for his ruthlessness, his word was law. The last word he ever expected to hear was no. Until he met her.
The Prey…
Aya Smith despised the ruling class who looked down on hardworking people like her. Sick of being treated unfairly by laws that protect the wealthy and punish the poor, she takes a stand but soon realizes, she might have crossed the wrong man.
The Game…
Created as a government program to assist in the repopulation of the country when an untested drug wipes out millions of women, The Run eventually evolves into something much more sinister. Now played for the amusement of the super rich, women down on their luck find themselves the prizes of sadistic masters.
Aya is forced to volunteer for The Run, and Dare, the most sadistic of all, places her in his crosshairs.She will belong to him, body and soul. But when he catches her will she succumb to his mastery, or will he find more trouble than he bargained for?
Aya took a deep breath as she made her way to the bar being careful not to look directly in the direction of the jerk supreme. As she poured his drink, she was tempted to spit in it. With each move she made, Aya could feel his heated gaze on her. She wasn't naive about men like him. They acted like they owned everything they saw. He was toying with them and threatening their livelihood because he could.
She used as much time as she dared to fix his drink before walking toward him, still refusing to make eye contact. Aya forced herself not to slam the glass down in front of him. "Will that be all, sir?" she asked through gritted teeth while she kept her gaze planted on her feet.
"Look at me."
Aya didn't want to stare into eyes so deep a green they were almost hypnotizing. They were her favorite shade and she resented the hell out of him for that. Thoughts of her uncle forced her to comply. Slowly, she raised her head until she met his gaze full on. That cruel smirk curved his lips.
"If there's nothing else, I need to see to the needs of the other customers."
"I was under the impression from the proprietor that you don't deal with customers. Which one of you is lying?"
She bit the inside of her lip to hold back an angry retort.
The bastard had the nerve to chuckle. "No need to answer. I can see he was just protecting what's his. I can't say I blame him. What are you to him?"
"I don't think that's any of your business."
"Fair enough." He picked up his drink and took a sip all while his gaze roamed the bar. After placing the glass down, the smirk returned. "How much do you think a place like this would cost if someone wanted to invest for the purposes of tearing it down and rebuilding?"
The blood pounded in her head and she dug her nails into her palms. "He's my uncle."
He nodded in seeming approval. "Have a seat, Aya."
She didn't like how he used her name as if he had the right but she complied. "Look Mr. O'Shaughnessy, I don't know what you're trying to do here, but we don't want any trouble. We're sorry if you haven't found the service to your satisfaction but we just want to be left alone. Please."
"You seem like an intelligent woman. I would have thought it was fairly obvious what I wanted."
She folded her hands in her lap and clinched them tightly together to keep herself from trembling. This couldn't be happening. There had to be a way she could get herself out of this. She opted to play dumb. "I have no clue what you're talking about."
He narrowed his eyes. "I think you do. In fact, I know you do. So, let's not play games. You can make this really easy on yourself. You and your uncle will be taken care of for as long as I want you. And when I no longer do, you'll be well compensated. You'll be under my protection."
She fought back the urge to attack him. The arrogant son of a bitch. "And what if I don't make things easy on myself?"
"I don't think you want to know. But the end result will be the same. I will have you."

The World Heritage Committee,
1. Having examined Documents WHC-05/29.COM/8B, WHC-05/29.COM/8B.Add 2 and WHC-05/29.COM/INF.8B.2,
2. Approves the extension of Nanda Devi National Park (India) to include the Valley of Flowers National Park, India, on the basis of the existing natural criteria (iii) and (iv):
Criterion (iii): The Valley of Flowers is an outstandingly beautiful highaltitude Himalayan valley that has been acknowledged as such by renowned mountaineers and botanists in literature for over a century and in Hindu mythology for much longer. Its 'gentle' landscape, breath-takingly beautiful meadows of alpine flowers and ease of access complement the rugged, mountain wilderness for which the inner basin of Nanda Devi National Park is renowned.
Criterion (iv): The Valley of Flowers is internationally important on account of its diverse alpine flora, representative of the West Himalaya biogeographic zone. The rich diversity of species reflects the valley's location within a transition zone between the Zaskar and Great Himalaya ranges to the north and south, respectively, and between the Eastern and Western Himalaya flora. A number of plant species are internationally threatened, several have not been recorded from elsewhere in Uttaranchal and two have not been recorded in Nanda Devi National Park. The diversity of threatened species of medicinal plants is higher than has been recorded in other Indian Himalayan protected areas. The entire Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve lies within the Western Himalayas Endemic Bird Area (EBA). Seven restricted-range bird species are endemic to this part of the EBA.
3. Notes that the extended property of 71,210 ha will comprise Nanda Devi National Park (62,460 ha) and Valley of Flowers National Park (8,750 ha), and that its name should be amended to Nanda Devi and Valley of Flowers National Parks;
4. Encourages the State Party of India to enhance the natural values and protection of the World Heritage property by further extensions to include the corridor connecting Nanda Devi and the Valley of Flowers National Parks, and other areas to include the full altitudinal range and the trans-Himalayan element represented within the Biosphere Reserve;
5. Congratulates the State Party for its environmental clean-up of the approach to the property, and measures to manage tourism sustainably, notably through community-led initiatives and the introduction of regulations;
6. Welcomes the opening of part of Nanda Devi National Park to limited numbers of visitors, which ensure that benefits from such tourism help to sustain local economies; and encourages the State Party to further develop opportunities for small numbers of visitors to further experience this mountain wilderness.

Soybeans Could Become New Market Driver
US - A new report on world agricultural supply and demand estimates issued by the Agriculture Department is setting up what could be an interesting new crop market dynamic, according to economic analysis from the American Farm Bureau Federation.The WASDE report was largely unchanged on the corn and feedgrain side and was generally viewed as neutral, but on the soybean side, supply estimates were reduced and US exports increased to help make up for smaller South American crops, according to AFBF Economist Todd Davis.
"We are looking at a situation where soybeans, rather than corn, could very well become the market leader in the US grain and oilseed complex," Mr Davis said. "Typically, corn prices usually help drive the market prices for the other grain and oilseed commodities, but given what we now know, soybeans are ready to move to the forefront."
Mr Davis explained that the report, coupled with prospective planting estimates from late March, indicate the United States is in rebuilding mode in regard to the nation's corn supply, as US farmers are expected to plant 95.9 million acres. This represents the highest corn acreage since 1937. But soybean supplies are likely to move in the opposite direction and become much tighter next year as 2012 US soybean plantings are expected to decline by more than a million acres compared to 2011. Complicating the picture has been the drought that has already cut into South American beans.
Soybeans were clearly the newsmaker in this April WASDE report. US soybean ending stocks number was reduced by 25 million bushels to 250 million bushels. The decline was due to an increase in the expected amount of soybean crush and stronger US exports to make up for the South American shortfalls.
On the world level, soybean ending stocks for 2011-12 are projected to decline to 55.52 million metric tons. The Argentina soybean crop estimate has been reduced by 257 million bushels from the November estimate and the Brazilian soybean crop has been reduced by 330 million bushels from the November estimate – again all due to the drought farmers in those nations worked through this growing season.
US corn ending stocks for the 2011-12 marketing year were unchanged from the March report. Pre-report estimates were for a reduction in stocks based on the March 30 grain stocks report. Mr Davis said that projected marketing year ending corn stocks of 801 million bushels is a 6.3 per cent stocks-to-use ratio, or roughly a 23 day supply of corn available at the end of August.
Also related to corn, the WASDE report projects greater livestock feeding of wheat instead of corn, which will reduce the amount of corn used for that purpose. In addition, the 2012 corn crop is being planted earlier this year, so there is greater potential of the new-crop corn being harvested in southern states that could be fed in August. Mr Davis said that "would provide some cushion for the tight 2011-12 corn balance sheet."
At the world level, corn ending stocks for the 2011-12 marketing year will be the tightest since the 2006-07 marketing year with a stocks-to-use ratio of 14.2 per cent, which was the tightest ending corn inventory in recent history, according to Mr Davis.

Wow! Just a few more sleeps until Christmas Eve! Are you getting just a little bit excited yet? I know we are!
We are really busy now. The elves at Sherlock Elf's Nawdy N. Nice Elf detective agency have been working extra hard on the Naughty and Nice List. They have been watching all the girls and boys. I have been checking the list too. We all want to know who is being naughty or nice!
Do you want to know more about the world famous "Santa Claus Naughty and Nice List"?
Well, my Naughty and Nice List is top secret of course. Not even WikiLeaks has it! I do not decide who is on the List until just before Christmas. That is right! The List is always changing. After all, even good kids are naughty sometime. So, I want to give all the good boys and girls lots of time to get onto the Nice List.
My detective elves help me with the Naughty and Nice List. They are very good at catching kids being naughty. But they may not see all the nice things you do. Are there any good deeds you have been doing this year? Do you think we might have missed seeing you do them? Did you know you could help us?
Tips for the Naughty and Nice List
The first thing you can do is check which list you are on right now. You can see if you have been naughty or nice by going to a special web page. It is my "Incredible Elf-o-matic Naughty or Nice Determinator"! If you have been good, you will even get a special certificate. It will say you are "Santa Certified Nice"! So make sure you leave your certificate out for me to see Christmas Eve. Then I will know you are on the Nice List!
You can also leave a message for me right now. You can tell me what nice things you have done. (Or what naughty things you have done!).
Moms and Dads are also very good at helping me know who has been naughty or nice. Do you think I should let them leave messages about you too?
Hope to see you on the Nice List!
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. Do you think you have been naughty or nice? Leave a message to tell me the nice things you have done this year. Or, scroll down to see if other kids have been naughty or nice!
A right jolly old elf, in spite of myself. I love Christmas, children, the North Pole, Mrs. Claus, elves, reindeer, snowmen & the list goes on!
My title is CEO: Christmas Elf Online.
Merry Christmas!
