Donald Trump's disclosures could put foreign intelligence ties at risk5 min read . Updated: 17 May 2017, 10:06 AM IST
In a series of tweets, Donald Trump defended sharing information about Islamic State threats to airline safety with Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting last week
Washington/Tel Aviv: President Donald Trump's decision to disclose allegedly classified information to Russian officials could threaten vital foreign intelligence ties, testing key allies' confidence in the US just as he heads to the Middle East and Europe.
In a series of tweets Tuesday morning, Trump defended sharing information about Islamic State threats to airline safety with Russian officials during an Oval Office meeting last week. National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster said the president's disclosures, first reported by the Washington Post, were "wholly appropriate."
But intelligence professionals disagreed.
"If America doesn't know how to behave in a trustworthy way, other states, not only Israel, will start sifting the information that they provide," Mordechai Kedar, a retired lieutenant colonel in Israeli military intelligence, said in an interview after a report emerged that Israel was the source of the information. "The Americans may find themselves receiving only paraphrases."
Although a US president can legally disclose classified information as he deems appropriate, doing so is typically a decision planned out in advance, with consideration of what should and shouldn't be shared and the benefits and risks in doing so. McMaster said that Trump made the decision to divulge information "in the context of the conversation," suggesting no such deliberations took place.
Closest partners
Pressed further, McMaster said Trump hadn't been briefed on the source of the information. Asked why officials who were present informed the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency about what the president said, McMaster said such a notice would have been done out of an "overabundance of caution."
Those admissions are unlikely to reassure US allies or intelligence officers risking their lives in the field.
"If true, the story will indeed harm relations with U.S. allies who are our closest intelligence partners and will now be wary of sharing their best secrets with us," said Nicholas Dujmovic, who spent 26 years at the CIA and is director of the intelligence studies program at Catholic University of America in Washington.
Another possible casualty would be clandestine human sources, who may "think twice before providing the U.S. with privileged information," added Dujmovic, who used to edit the daily intelligence report provided to presidents. "Why take the risk of giving the Americans great intelligence if the president is going to reveal it?"
Israel's response
Israeli officials wouldn't confirm they were the source of the information that Trump shared with Russia, as was reported by the New York Times. Ron Dermer, the country's ambassador to the US, said in a statement that "Israel has full confidence in our intelligence-sharing relationship with the United States and looks forward to deepening that relationship in the years ahead under President Trump."
Shabtai Shavit, director of Israel's Mossad intelligence agency from 1989 to 1996, said in an interview that any diplomatic fallout between Israel and the White House "will probably be handled behind closed doors" because both countries have an interest in the success of Trump's visit to Israel next week.
The uproar comes as Trump prepares for his first overseas trip as president, with stops planned in other countries including Saudi Arabia, Italy and Belgium. He'll meet with leaders whose nations are on the front lines of fighting Islamic State and other extremists, seek to bolster efforts to rein in Iran's regional influence and discuss ways to end the war in Syria—all of which depend on close intelligence cooperation.
'Five eyes'
The US relies on a global network of intelligence-sharing partnerships. Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia are key intelligence providers in the Middle East, while another network—the "Five Eyes" agreement among the US, Canada, the UK, Australia and New Zealand—is also depended on heavily.
Trump said he decided to provide information to his Russian visitors in the context of improving ties with Moscow.
"As President I wanted to share with Russia (at an openly scheduled W.H. meeting) which I have the absolute right to do, facts pertaining....to terrorism and airline flight safety," Trump wrote in a pair of tweets Tuesday morning. "Humanitarian reasons, plus I want Russia to greatly step up their fight against ISIS & terrorism."
McMaster said in a briefing that "the president wasn't even aware of where this information came from, he wasn't briefed on the source or method of the information either."
The latest revelations come after a presidential campaign in which Trump ridiculed the US intelligence community for its conclusion that Russia interfered in an effort to hurt his Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton. Trump's trip to the CIA's headquarters on the first full day of his presidency did little to calm that relationship after he gave a speech full of political themes while standing in front of the CIA's memorial to employees who died in the line of service.
Probes under way
While Trump continues to dismiss as "fake news" investigations of Russian meddling and whether any of his associates colluded in it, the FBI and committees in Congress are pressing ahead with probes.
That was the backdrop as Trump met with Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov and ambassador Sergey Kislyak in Washington 10 May. Even if "wholly appropriate," as McMaster said, the leak of the conversation raises risks for the intelligence community, according to former CIA director James Woolsey.
"If people have stopped trusting us now given all these leaks, people will stop trusting us even more if we have further leaks trying to understand who leaked what," Woolsey said in an interview in Washington Tuesday. "We may be moving into a world in which nobody wants to share intelligence with the United States because of leaks all the time."
Trump's actions weren't unprecedented.
Past presidents have shared classified information—some of it highly sensitive—with foreign officials to gain trust and cooperation. Former president George W. Bush, for instance, even brought in Russian President Vladimir Putin to the president's daily brief.
'Full buy-in'
In those cases, however, "the president informed the intelligence community in advance of what he wanted to do," allowing the agencies to prepare a tailored briefing book for those meetings, according to David Priess, author of The President's Book of Secrets and a former CIA officer and intelligence briefer.
"The difference was that was a planned process with full buy-in from the intelligence community," Priess said in a phone interview. In his research, Priess, who interviewed several former presidents, said he "did not get any sense" that presidents on "an ad-hoc basis simply decide to disclose code-word"—very sensitive —information.
"In this case, the reporting suggests it was not the result of a process," he said, "but it was a result of a whim.'' Bloomberg

A week ago or so I composed an abstract for what will be either a roundtable or a study session at the forthcoming 12th world congress of semiotics, which will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria September 16-20th 2014. Individual abstracts can be sent straight to me - see address below. This session abstract has been posted on the webpage of the world congress, in the Biosemiosis blog, and on my Academia.edu page.
Biosemiotic ethicsMorten Tønnessen, University of Stavanger, Norway (firstname.lastname@example.com)
A dozen to 20 years ago, two of the most central biosemioticians, first Jesper Hoffmeyer and then Kalevi Kull, addressed connections between biosemiotics and ethics. The last ten years a new generation of scholars have started working out a biosemiotic ethics. The foundational idea is that if all living systems are semiotic, then biosemiosis can serve as basis for justifying attribution of moral status to human and non-human individuals and to various ecological entities. Most of the scholars involved in this endeavor have taken Jakob von Uexküll's Umwelt theory as their starting point. Recent relevant publications include a translation of Uexküll's 1917 article "Darwin and the English Morality", with a framing essay entitled ""Darwin und die englische Moral": The Moral Consequences of Uexküll's Umwelt Theory".
Relevant questions for discussion include but are not limited to the following: In what ways does a biosemiotic ethics potentially take us beyond sentience-centered approaches? Does biosemiotic ethics represent a new form of consequentialism, or should it be placed within some other tradition? What ramifications do different views on the semiotic threshold have within the context of normative ethics? Is there (something akin to) normativity in the very constitution of the Umwelt? Does the semiosphere at large (qua biosphere) have intrinsic value? And what, in terms of biosemiosis, is the origin of value?

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida legislators have passed dueling budgets that have wide differences in how much money should be spent in the coming year.
The Florida House and Senate voted on Thursday for rival versions of a new $87 billion state budget. They have until early March to work out the differences in order to end the annual session on time.
While the two chambers are spending roughly the same, they are not spending the same amount in key areas, including on environmental programs, public schools and on state universities.
The House approved its budget by a 85-27 vote, while the Senate passed its budget on a 33-1 vote.
Some House Democrats said they were voting against the budget because it does not spend enough on affordable housing and mental health programs.

The endurance trans-Tasman event is back in action this year after a five-year hiatus. This time, it's the Australians' turn to host the event, which will take place in Imbil, Queensland at the purpose-built endurance facility of Stirling's Crossing, from August 17 to 20.
An enthusiastic, all-female Kiwi team have been named: Amanda McConachy from Raetihi, from the the Central North Island, Vanessa Tiffen from Fairlie, Canterbury, Tess Wells from Okaramio, Marlborough and Ana Whitehead from Tinui, Masterton.
Each will be riding a borrowed horse over the distance they are selected for. Vanessa, Tess and Ana are all competing in the 85km FEI1* ride on August 18, while Amanda will compete in the 120km FEI2* event on August 19.
The team will leave for Australia tomorrow (August 16) with chef d'equipe Kelly Haywood, and their own grooms. They will have a day and a half to get to know their mounts before the start of the 85km competition at 5am on Friday.
Endurance riding is a technical sport, with riders requiring a sound knowledge of their horse, its welfare, fitness and ability to complete the ride comfortably. Horses must pass strict fitness and veterinary examinations in order to continue. Rides start early in the morning, so part of the race is ridden in darkness which, while having the advantage of being cooler, adds its own obvious challenges.
The trans-Tasman event is designed to provide a stepping-stone into international competition without the extremes of world championship events.
The original concept was to hold the event every two years, so that each country hosted it every four years, but the decision was taken not to hold it in WEG or World Champs years. The plan now is to keep the competition going, with the next possible event in New Zealand in 2019.
This year's has received a good support from both sides of the Tasman. The endurance board has set aside some funding and team members have received great backing from fellow endurance members and local business in their areas, who have provided sponsorship in the form of prizes to raffle off. Bullio Arabians have kindly donated trophies for each member of both teams, and are also sponsoring the entry fees for the two teams.

Terms and conditions
A new issue of the journal Judaica Bohemiae (Vol. 51/2016, 2) came out at the end of December 2016. In the opening study, Olga Sixtová presents the results of extensive research into a source that has so far been little used in the specialist literature – the Pinkas of Kolín Synagogue (The Ledger of the Kolín Synagogue Treasurers), which was kept between 1730 and 1783. On the basis of a detailed analysis of its content and language, and through a comparison with other preserved sources, the author provides new and extraordinarily valuable information relating to the organization, administration and economic life of the Kolín Jewish Community, the second largest in Bohemia. The following study is based on detailed research by Magda Veselská and examines how the Prague Jewish Museum's extensive collections were put together during the Second World War, how the Central Jewish Museum operated during the war, and what role was played by Prague Jewish Community employees in connection with its creation. This paper also focuses considerable attention on the important question of how and when the 'museum of an extinct race' slogan first appeared, which to this day is still often regarded as a historical fact.
The present volume also contains reports on the conference 'Remnants of the Past or Laboratories of Modernity?', which dealt with the issue of Jewish political communities in Moravia after 1848 (3–5 May 2016, Olomouc, I. Koeltzsch – J. Vitámvásová) and on the international workshop 'Suppressed Historiography, Erased Memory?', which explored the perception of the Shoah in Central and Eastern Europe under Communism (30 November –1 December 2015, Halle; M. Sedlická). In addition, Arno Pařík provides information about the exhibition 'The Missing Images: Eugeen Van Mieghem and the Jewish Emigrants to the New World', which was held by the Jewish Museum in Prague and the Eugeen Van Mieghem Museum, Antwerp at the Robert Guttmann Gallery between September 2015 and April 2016.
The final section of the volume contains reviews of two books: Prameny k dějinám Židů v Čechách a na Moravě ve středověku. Od počátků do roku 1347 [Sources on the History of the Jews in Bohemia and Moravia in the Middle Ages – From the Beginnings until 1347], an extensive publication that was published in 2015 by the Institute of History at the Czech Academy of Sciences as part of the Czech Archive series (P. Kocman); and Hannelore Burger's Heimatrecht und Staatsbürgerschaft österreichischer Juden. Vom Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart (Böhlau Verlag 2014, Z. Stoklásková).

לחם לכל בשר
Food: Sustaining ourselves; Sustaining the world
The food we eat is at the heart of critical tensions in our lives. It can cultivate fellowship or foster social division. It sustains the hungry, but creates exploitative conditions for both people and animals. It is an undeniable source of personal delight and communal celebration, but, the way we consume has the potential to destroy our world.
In light of ever-changing technological and structural approaches to food production, and the growing awareness of the consequences of our food choices, what can Torah teach us about the food that sustains our bodies and souls, on a personal, communal, and global scale?
Delve one step deeper than delicious in Hadar's Beit Midrash as we explore our textual heritage for meaning and purpose in the ways we relate to food.

Paramount doesn't want to admit it's on the financial ropes. The studio, which has a reputation for being risk-adverse, has been struggling for some time. Studio chief Brad Grey was brought in to fix this, but hasn't yet. Roger Friedman, like many others, wonders why Par greenlighted Mission: Impossible 3 if Viacom topper Sumner Redstone was really that upset by Tom's couch-jumping, Scientology-spouting episodes.
War Of The Worlds grossed nearly $600 million worldwide on a $132 million budget, according to Box Office Mojo. This picture opened right after the couch incident. So far, M:I:3 has grossed nearly $400 million worldwide on a $150 million investment. That's hardly a flop.
The real story here -- one that will take time to unfold -- is what happens to all the projects Cruise's production shingle had in development with Paramount. If they get shipped elsewhere, Par could be sinking a liner full of cash, crazy Cruise money or not.
WHEN WILL I BE LOVED? Is Tucson native Linda Ronstadt singing to herself, "You're No Good?" She returned to the Old Pubelo this week for surgery and cancelled the rest of her concert dates for this year while she recovers.
From the AP:
Ronstadt's agent, Shelly Schultz, would not provide details on the surgery the longtime performer underwent Tuesday in Tucson, Ariz., but said it wasn't cancer.We at The Lightning Round find two curiosities in this: one, what is Ronstadt's agent trying to hide, and two, why was the singer willing to come back to Tucson from San Francisco?
"It wasn't an emergency, but it came about rather quickly, so she decided to do it sooner rather than later," Schultz said. "It's surgery, it's completed, and she's fine."
The Golden Gate's leading daily claims she skipped town a year ago because of Arizona's "strip-mall culture and right-wing mentality." Apparently the hospitals here don't stink, and she still has a pad in midtown.
But why the blackout on her surgery? You can hear the rumor machine cranking up. My favorite wild speculative guess is she's unloading some ballast through either liposuction or... gasp... gastric bypass. We politely notice her figure has inflated over the years, yet the theory doesn't fit very well. Scottsdale is the place to go for gastric bypass, and liposuction shouldn't sideline you for five months.
If this is some embarrassing, late-night-joke-fodder condition, we understand. But Shelly, you know better than to gas up the machine. Too many people are willing to ride it.
I KNOW HE'S BLUFFING WHEN THE MOUSE POINTER SHAKES. Scientists say poker may be a better test of artificial intelligence than chess -- especially No-Limit Hold 'Em.
The Canadian Press quoted Michael Bowling, head of the research group that created a poker-playing computer:
"The nice thing about chess as a property of the game is what we call perfect information. You look at the board, you know where all the pieces are, you know whose turn it is - you have complete knowledge of the game," he said.Especially hard: teaching a computer how to play with the chips. No, the other chips.
"But in the real world, knowing everything is just so rare. Everything we do all day long is all about partial information. So poker's much more representative of what the real world's like, and in that sense it becomes a much harder problem."
GRADED X. Get caught cheating at the College of Charleston (S.C.), and you'll get an "XF" on your grade card. So far, nobody's complained.
From The State:
The XF grade will remain on a student's transcript at least two years. After two years, if there are no additional violations, the student can petition to have the grade removed.One educator blames easily available Internet term papers, rife for cutting and pasting.
"It's our position that as long as you have a clear record, the X will come off," [Dean of Students Jeri] Cabot said, "but the F stays."
Timothy Dodd, the executive director of the Center for Academic Integrity, said many high school students are no longer learning to write clear and insightful papers.Hey Tim, I felt the same way about most of the essay tests I took in college. And I studied for those. I crammed facts into my head, spilled them out, and left them there on the page. It's not fair. Many things I learned in university aren't in my brain anymore -- especially my freshman American History class. I sweated through two "blue book" exams, two research papers, several quizzes, and tons of reading, fighting to earn an "A," and I did. But now, when I long to recall much of those facts, I have to go back to the books and notes... or Google.
"Instead of writing, students are learning to compile," he said. Their writing "tends to be strands of regurgitation."
"You're going to be damn proud of that degree when you get it," a psychology professor once said in class, referring to the work ahead of us first-years.
So I have no sympathy for cheaters. 'Tis better to have learned and lost than never learned at all.
DRIVEN TO GOD. We know countless prayers have been said behind steering wheels, especially on the L.A. freeways. But a church in Fresno is offering drive-through devotionals.
According to information supplied by KFSN-TV (no story link available, sorry), "God's Family Church in northwest Fresno has decided since many people don't like to go to church, they'll take to church to them."
A drive-thru sign hangs outside the church. People pull up to the prayer booth in their ride for blessings in the driver's seat.
Says Pastor Alex Maldonado: "End of the work week, people seem to unwind. We've found that, as you may know, people are fired more so on a Friday afternoon."
Soon the church plans to offer sides of coffee during rush hour. Will we then call the people manning the booth "Prayeristas?"

After my recent post of the Grails song, this band appeared before me who definitely are rocking a bit of a Grails vibe. So I thought I'd share. Mentioned as sounding like Chelsea Wolfe and True Widow (among others), I would be remiss not to give them a listen, and initial results suggest it's good! Very atmospheric.
Something Epic This Way Comes
I hinted at something dark for tonight's post. Well this song is a little dark, certainly a bit grim sounding, and ridiculously epic. It deserves your attention. I recommend really getting down to the nitty gritty with this and having a good ear bash. This is a song by Agalloch off their 2010 album Marrow Of The Spirit. I've been a fan of these guys for as long as I can remember, though sadly I don't listen to them so much these days. They pull off a pretty damn unique sound so keep an open mind and approach with gusto!
Agalloch – Black Lake Nidstång
Where Do I Sign?
For a band with a name like Doomsquad, you'd be forgiven for expecting an album to sound like this track. In fact from what I've listened to, the album is surprisingly upbeat and kinda chipper sounding. This song is the 'doomiest' I've noticed but don't let it fool you into skipping over the album. Go on, check it out. This is off of the new album, Total Time.
Doomsquad – Collective Insanity
Ad-libbed Creepy
I heard a rumour that the vocalist basically ad-libbed all the vocals when she got to the studio. Seems like there's a bit of dark below the surface there. Anyway this is this weeks anatomy themed song. No prizes for guessing the anatomy. Some doomy post metal/rock for ya. Also that's a pretty gross visual conjured up by the song name. Go on, picture it.
Battle Of Mice – Cave Of Spleen
Embracing The Night
Beats me why they decided to run the words together for their name, but other than that mild irritation, Thenighttimeproject's self titled album proves to be a fairly satisfying listen. Featuring a chap who used to be in Katatonia (renowned for their doom and gloom vibe), there is definitely a similar tone to this project. Also reminiscent of OSI and Ashes Divide.
Thenighttimeproject – Dissolve
Is He An Alien Then?
Here's an epic tune from a rather crazy sounding band from Greece, Green Yeti. They've recently released a 4 track album but don't go expecting a quick listen. The whole album still clocks in at a bit over an hour, which is pretty good going. In the vein of Psychedelic Stoner Doom Rock apparently. Sounds fun. This is the opening track.
Green Yeti – The Yeti Has Landed
Obey The Riff
What would you get if Mastodon and Kyuss had a music baby? These guys. Featuring an array of sludge-tastic, groovy, doom-laden songs, their latest offering, The Death Of All Things is a brutal album. And I'm proud to report that they're from New Zealand too. Bonus.
Beastwars – Black Days
Into The Abyss
Chelsea Wolfe is in a class of her own. Her new album Abyss, which is out any day now, is sure to be high up on my list of top albums of this year. From what I've heard it's pivoted slightly from the style of Pain Is Beauty. Less murky somehow. There are tiny flashes of sound and high notes which have an uplifting effect to the songs, and this one in particular careers off into a jaunty mad little number which is fascinating and enjoyable. I'll happily leap into this abyss.

The pasteurized liquid egg, the egg we all know, but using our technology, we broke the egg and then the product is subjected to a pasteurization process, guaranteeing microbiological analysis of the product. We are improving the egg in cascaron we all know, by turning it into a product of high quality and safety, it is used in industry mainly, but also can be used in our homes, freeing the waste peel and ensuring prodcuto high quality. It is important to clarify that in the case of INNOVO Egg Industries, our product is 100% natural and do not use additives or preservatives.
There are several differences, however the most important one, is that the liquid egg is a higher quality product and safe, ensuring that our prodcuto is free of bacteria that affect human health, in addition to this, of course, it can be prepared easily.

About Lily
The Developer
I built my first website ('Dream Meadows - the UK My Little Pony Pages') in 1998, when I was, if nothing else, really ahead of the game when it came to flat black and white icons.
(There are times where I find myself ever so slightly regretting not taking advantage of the one and only time that 'Rainbows! Rainbows EVERYWHERE!' would have been a contextually appropriate design choice.)
I started work at London agency Intendance in 2012, and was rapidly promoted to Head of Support… in all likelihood because it was easier to accept my fervent passion for managing the support queue than it was to prise me off it.
To this day, my focus is very much on working directly with clients to figure out solutions, track down errant bugs, and chart a workable future for a website over the course of its lifetime. This has led me to all manner of projects, from professional services to tiny nonprofits, and from your basic standard front-end development to wrangling insanely complex multilingual informational infrastructure.
Recent work (along with a few favourite projects) can be found on my porfolio. Go on, take a peek!
The Person
When not herding pixels, I divide my time between singing (mostly folk, and mostly in my local pub), growing chillies, learning clawhammer banjo, and studying with the OU.
I also have a slight MOOC addiction - at the time of writing, I am signed up to courses ranging from 'The Moral Foundations of Politics' to the 'The Behaviour of Chickens', and goodness knows, there will be more on the list by the time you read this.
I am a lifelong South Londoner, and live in Crystal Palace with my partner, Dan, and my roborovski hamster, Rommel.
About AeolianSquee
The Name
The name AeolianSquee probably functions best as a cautionary tale regarding registering domain names at four in the morning. But beyond that…
'Aeolian' is both a musical mode (a type of early scale), and a word that means 'carried on the wind'.
'Squee' is a noise that fangirls make when excited about something.
'AeolianSquee' can therefore best be interpreted as 'a joyful squeal, carried on the wind'. Which probably sums up my online presence as well as anything.
Under The Hood
AeolianSquee.co.uk was built in ExpressionEngine, my CMS of choice.
It uses Motherplate, a responsive boilerplate designed by Lee Munroe.
The site has been hosted by Site5 for many, many years, and will remain so for as long as their support remains awesome.

As we age, the appearance of our face will naturally change. Skin typically becomes wrinkled with loss of muscle tone, often leaving behind a droopier appearance.
Botox (Botulinum Toxin) is a highly purified toxin used to temporarily erase wrinkles. Effective by relaxing facial muscles, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after Botox injections will be significantly reduced.
The ideal areas for Botox treatment are:
As a registered Botox clinic, A New You is able to administer Neurobloc® Botox (type B) to clients resistant to Botulinum Toxin (type A).
Other brands offered here include Azzulure®, Bocouture®, Dysport®, Vistabel® and Xeomin®. During your initial consultation, you're able to discuss the best option for you with one of our experts.
Treatment areas will receive a small Botox injection. The overall feeling isn't typically painful, but some clients may feel minor discomfort as the needle works its way into the skin.
Small marks may be left after Botox treatments, but these will disappear within a few hours.
A single Botox session can reveal impressive results. It will usually take about 5 days for results to appear, and up to two weeks to reach their full potential. Botox has an average lasting time of between 3 to 6 months dependent on the individual.
Advanced Botox techniques can be used on the neck and lower areas of the face, and can also be used to treat excessive sweating and migraines.
Please note: Botox treatment is NOT suitable for pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers.

Hahaha. Finally.
I guess I am excited after all. Everything is in position, so to speak.
Today, I still went to my office, and did some work. I had to finish my experiment design, and that was what I was doing this morning. Then in the afternoon, another student recorded me in the lab for his own project.
Oh, I guess I have nothing much to say, so I'd just take my leave.
I'll be back in a week. Meanwhile, enjoy this shot from my Old Fort Niagara Series. Finally, we're entering the fort premises.

Do you have any plans to extend the range of colors from the 6 you currently offer?
No sorry - not currently. The very heavyweight 100% cotton fabric we use only comes in a limited range of colors. From the range of colors available to us we select the darker shades as these much easier to keep clean and also we stay with the earthier tones as these tend to harmonize better with the typical calming palettes used in meditation rooms.

Need suggestions on using my iPhone as GPS and Camera
Hi everybody,
I am using iPhone 5S with Motion X installed in it. I am thinking to use this mobile as a GPS and camera without using cellular service. But, I heard that it may not be possible to use the GPS without cell service.
Can somebody confirm whether I can use the GPS service on my cell phone without having cell service? Thanks in advance for any help.

How to protect privacy in Alexa enabled devices
Recent news related to Alexa regarding the an Amazon Echo smart speaker inadvertently sent a family's private conversation to an acquaintance highlights some unexpected risks of new voice-enabled technologies.
Maintaining privacy in this internet and connected world is one of the biggest issues.
In India Alexa enabled Devices from Amazon are Echo Dot, Amazon Echo, Echo plus and Echo Spot. These are hands-free smart speakers that lets you control using your voice. It connects to Alexa – a cloud based voice service to play music, make calls, check weather and news, set alarms, control smart home devices, and much more.
Amazon records all the commands you give and uses that data to make Alexa even smarter, but you can delete all of it pretty easily if you want to.
How to delete Conversation with Amazon's Alexa
The Amazon FAQ states, "You can delete specific voice recordings associated with your account by going to History in Settings in the Alexa App, drilling down for a specific entry, and then tapping the delete button. Or, you can delete all voice recordings associated with your account for each of your Alexa-enabled products, by selecting the applicable product at the Manage Your Content and Devices page at www.amazon.com/mycdor contacting customer service." Amazon recommends against doing this, however, as it will result in a less personalized experience and poorly tailored responses.
Amazon also pointed to a very helpful Alexa and Alexa Device FAQ page that provides more detail on how the Echo devices work. More importantly, it also provides information for how to shut off the Echo / Echo Dot microphone if you don't want Alexa to listen at all, or review and delete things Alexa may have recorded you saying. Mute the Echo when not in use. A physical mute button is located at the top of the device. The "always listening" microphone will be disabled until physically unmuted.
Below Video tutorial can also help you how to delete conversation with Alexa.

What was a huge surprise towards the end of a Nintendo Direct earlier this year, Astral Chain arrives a mere six months after announcement and comes from the highly talented and experienced team at PlatinumGames. The action-adventure hack and slash gains a new IP to the genre, will this new universe bolster Platinum's already impressive library that includes the likes of Nier: Automata and Bayonetta or prove to be a chink in their chain?
Extinction is imminent in the year 2078, the human race has been reduced drastically and what remains are those who now reside on an artificial island that features "The Ark" a city designed to be the last stand of humanity. From first look, the hook is there, immediately an interesting story is presented that features a clear and present danger. Chimeras have arrived from another dimension called the Astral Plane and seek to corrupt all life and in essence destroy everything in their path.
Enter your character who will be one of two siblings, twins to be precise and you get to choose which one to play. Your pick will become your unique character to customise whilst the other will be named Akira Howard and a unique point is that they are opposite genders, so your story may feature a male or a female Akira. The main purpose for this I believe is that it makes things so much easier from a story-telling and design perspective throughout and especially in the late-game. You and your sister join Neuron who serve as the Chimera-ass kicking good guys hell bent on thwarting the inter dimensional creatures and protecting humankind.
Going on from the beginning you are immediately hit with character after character that bring a variety in look, personality and their own role to play. Not all of them unfortunately stick, with many being forgettable and only a few being ones to remember mainly due to their involvement throughout the story. Akira, Yoseph, Jena, Hal, Olive and Brenda I can name off the top of my head with the others I really have to dig deep for, not ideal to have so many what I feel to be throwaway characters but it lets some of the others shine just so much more.
PlatinumGames have a trend of producing unique, out-there stories paired with responsive, fast and enjoyable gameplay, the same goes for this through and through. The main gameplay feature is the player and legion link, you control not only your character but a legion which is linked to them via their Legatus equipment. This makes for an experience that is a bit tricky to pick up but after you find your footing it is so damn rewarding piecing all the intricacies and variables together.
The ZL and ZR buttons are heavily prioritised when in battle, with the latter being your regular attack button and the former used for calling on your Legion and attacking with them. Move and aim are as you expect, however holding ZL will mean the right stick will now move your Legion, handy for trying to navigating the many platforming style puzzles and blocking or tying up enemies. Between character and legion there is a strand that joins the two and this allows you to wrap around an NPC in order to halt them or can be used to block a charge and fling them off in the other direction, it's different and just as much fun each and every time I execute it.
Skills can be assigned to each legion and serve to provide depth to the gameplay loop, much appreciated but I feel it doesn't quite prevent fights from becoming a tad stale at times, especially when facing the same type of enemy numerous times in a row. Fortunately, throughout the entire twenty plus hour story, new enemy types get introduced right through to the end and bring their own battle pattern to figure out and combat. Each legion comes with their own skill tree that allows you to power them up with increased attack power, defense power and more skills.
If that wasn't enough, ability codes offer buffs that range in anything from auto-heal to increasing critical damage. There is a lot to keep track of but I never got overwhelmed, I would sometimes forget to manage a few of the features but never felt penalised for doing so. There are five legion to add to your roster and I think what's quite refreshing is how evenly spaced through-out the story they are in terms of bringing them in. What's so great about this is that everytime I felt I was getting too comfortable, boom, new gameplay style. Variety can be seen in just about everything, legions, enemy types, missions, skills and ways to fight.
Chapters come in the form of files and in between each file you roam the central hub, the police headquarters in which Neuron members prepare themselves for each mission. It's basically where you buy any consumables, customise your look and maintain your legions but presented in a way that just makes it seem a bit more than what it is.
This year has already produced some fantastic looking games in terms of art style and overall design, this joins that list with ease. The anime art style feels right at home in this futuristic, sci-fi setting and does well in covering up the quality limitations of the hardware. What's quite funny is whilst there are some fidelity shortcomings, the setting and how the design has come together make the jagged lines seem deliberate, I can't explain it other than it just fits.
All locations and characters exude this rough coolness, thanks to their aesthetic design and do a lot in building an epic fantasy world filled with bad-ass people to meet and interesting places to explore. Everything right down to the weapons and gear look like a piece of tech that I want to get my hands on, and what I dreamt of as a kid when running around with toy guns, swords and sabers. I could go on and on but simply put everything matches the setting, the UI, characters, locations, effects, everything, just……okay I'll calm down.
What's not to love about the soundtrack, it brings the beats and action when it absolutely needs to, it helps solidify the heartfelt, climactic moments and above all just makes me feel happy when playing. It doesn't matter if I'm chilling around the central hub, exploring the rest of the city or in the heat of battle, the sound was with me at the right moments to build the tension and hype or bring the atmosphere down, it just kicks ass.
Astral Chain is yet another fantastic addition to the Nintendo Switch library and the action, hack and slash genre in general. It reeks of personality, delivering not only a memorable story of survival, but a stunning soundtrack and awesome visuals too. Whilst among the cast of characters there are forgettable faces, I feel the ones that stick, do so for all the right reasons, well written and performed superbly. Platinum does it again.

A headshot photographer must absolutely use light to the best of his ability when shooting outdoors. I hope that they are able to or I don't recommend hiring them.
Here are some effective tips on how to use light in your headshots:
• Remember that light tells a story. Harsh light shows intensity, soft light shows beauty. Think about what look you are going for, and then stand in a place that gives you the kind of light you need.
• Do you want the face to pop off the image and stand out? I think you do. A great way to do this is by providing fill light from below. Stand in a spot where a light is shining down, and then a bounce board can be used to fill in shadows on the face.
• Reflected diffuse light looks amazing. Where do you get this light? Well it's hard if you don't live in a city because you need something big to bounce the light onto the actor's face. Using buildings with brightly-lit walls to reflect light down onto the actor is a great way to achieve this effect.
• Stand in the shade when shooting. And use a bounce board or reflected building light. It's just a great way to get amazing light. Also try to position the headshot client so that they have a hairlight.
• Use fill-flash if necessary, but remember that it limits how quickly you can shot, which means you might miss the perfect shot. Additionally, make sure the fill flash isn't too birght or it will wash out the details of the actor's face because it makes the light way too even.
Hopefully these tips help.

The fall of Suharto in 1998 is generally seen as the watershed in the development of photojournalism in Indonesia. The lifting of press control created the space for new photographers to feed the demand of a "liberated" population.
While there are more photographers today, few of them actually work independently. One of them is Ng Swan Ti, a documentary photographer who contributes regularly to foreign and local publications. Apart from assignments that bring in money, Ng is also known for her long-term project on "Catholicism in Indonesia" (2000-2005).
Born into a Confucius family, the photographer was baptized as a teenager. However, Ng soon realized that she didn't know anything about her faith apart from the obligation of going to church. Religion is never a personal matter in Indonesia. An Indonesian must select one of the five official religions – Christianity, Roman Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism and Islam – and indicate it on the identity card.
"Many Indonesians consider religion as the most important source of their identity," explains the Indonesian Chinese photographer. "It is common here to ask a question like 'What's your religion?' on the first meeting."
Armed with questions about her faith, Ng pursued the project in Java and Flores. While her starting point is personal, the series has generated useful dialogue whenever she has shown the work. At a Catholic high school in Jakarta, a student from the photo club wondered why a Catholic man in one of Ng's photos was wearing a peci [black velvet hat], which is often associated locally with Islam.
"Wearing the peci is related to culture instead of religion," Ng explains.

A senior UN official has warned Israel against destroying further prospects for peace in the Middle East, in comments made yesterday.
Addressing the United Nations Security Council, Nickolay Mladenov, the UN envoy for the Middle East, said that "calls have been made for the annexation of parts of or the whole of Area C [60 per cent of the West Bank under Israeli control]; such divisive positions risk destroying the prospects for peace."
During the first meeting held following the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemned the construction of settlements by Israel in the occupied Palestinian territories as a "flagrant violation under international law," Mladenov stressed that Israel and the Palestinians "must avoid any unilateral action that would prejudge a negotiated final status solution."
The comments by Mladenov were sparked by several high ranking Israeli ministers calling for the annexation of Palestinian lands.
Among other issues raised in his briefing, Mladenov noted that for the first time in two decades preparations were underway for a regular session of the Palestinian National Council (PNC), which is the Palestinian parliament.
According to the UN's news centre, Mladenov encouraged all factions to work towards genuine reconciliation.
Mladenov's briefing followed an international conference this past weekend in Paris, France, where participants reaffirmed their collective support for a two-state solution and readiness to support both parties in returning to meaningful negotiations.

The court-appointed trustee liquidating Bernard Madoff's firm said on Friday he has reached a settlement with the family of late Beverly Hills money manager Stanley Chais that will provide more than $277 million to victims of Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
Irving Picard, the trustee, said victims will receive at least $232 million of cash, and the rights to $30.7 million of assets that are expected to be sold.
A separate $15 million fund will pay claims by California investors, resolving litigation by that state's Attorney General Kamala Harris, and which had been brought in 2009 by her predecessor, California Governor Jerry Brown.
Friday's settlement requires approval by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Stuart Bernstein in Manhattan, who oversees the liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 22.
The cash payout would boost to $11.46 billion the sum that Picard has recovered for former Madoff customers, or 65 percent of their estimated $17.5 billion loss. Picard has said half of the 2,597 accounts with valid claims have been fully paid off.

Flagging Virtual World Provider Linden Lab Now to Flag Content
by prokofy on 03/05/08 at 1:33 pm
By Prokofy Neva, Kremlindenologist
Second Life residents in some select groups like SLDev were alarmed this morning to discover that in addition to nerfing traffic, and pitting residents against each other to police their "avatar rendering costs," the Lindens are planning on instituting a system to flag objectionable content on SL parcels via search results.
In a note to the SLDev list read mainly by scripters and developers of the open-sourced viewer, Jeska Linden informed select residents that they could expect soon a system to abuse-report undesirable or illegal content on parcels turning up under search results. Several list members objected, saying that such automatic systems would lead to abuse.
In a comment for the record on the LL Traffic Future list, prominent SL educator Fleep Tuque said, "I think my biggest concern is that, yes, the immediate take down can be used maliciously. There is an appeal process in the outline, but for time sensitive events, that wouldn't be adequate." Argent Stonecutter, a long-time RL network administrator and SL scripter, said that residents had asked for tools to report spam, not analyze content.
Below the fold, the full text of the communication.

My feedback, as a 20 year network administrator who has at times been
at the forefront of the anti-spam effort in Usenet and email, is:
1. I have not been asking you to do better with "inappropriate
content and content classification", I have been asking that you make
it easier to report spam. Spam is a content-free concept: the content
of a message is almost irrelevant as to whether it is spam or not.
2. "this is spam" should be the only option. Any other categorization
is too open to abuse and is likely to cause you a lot of extra work,
as well as cause unrecoverable damages to innocent parties. At least
that's what's happened in other environments.

Only if these prims were guaranteed to never under any circumstances
able to be selected unless you have BOTH "show transparent" and "edit
mode" on. Trust me, it's swingingely hard to interact with ANYTHING
when you're inside a prim.
