An unknown culprit, or culprits, set fire to and destroyed a portable toilet on a playing field near Bakerfield Elementary School in Aberdeen, fire investigators said.
The suspects hit the porta-potty around 11:30 p.m. Saturday, when part of it burned before Aberdeen Fire Department crews were able to extinguish it, Senior Deputy State Fire Marshal Oliver Alkire said Monday.
They "came back and struck it again" around 9:30 p.m. Sunday, Alkire said.
"And this time, it's completely gone," he added.
Two firefighters from the Aberdeen Fire Department responded to the blaze Sunday. It took them five minutes to bring it under control, according to a notice of investigation issued Monday by the Office of the State Fire Marshal.
The fire caused an estimated $1,000 worth of damage to the porta-potty, according to the Fire Marshal's Office report.
"It's currently under investigation," Alkire said of the fire. "We know it's incendiary; we're asking anybody with any type of information to contact us."
Anyone who has information about the fire should call the fire marshal's Northeast Regional Office in Bel Air at 410-836-4844.

I hope you find your favorite quotes and some new ones to inspire whatever path you are on or looking for.
1. "Those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything." –George Bernard Shaw
2. "Modern man is conditioned to expect instant gratification, but any success or triumph realized quickly, with only marginal effort, is necessarily shallow. Meaningful achievement takes time, hard work, persistence, patience, proper intent and self-awareness. The path to success is punctuated by failure, consolidation, and renewed effort." –Mark Twight
3. "Seriously, if you always put limits on what you can do, physical or anything else, it'll spread over into the rest of your life. It'll spread into your work, into your morality, into your entire being. There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level." –Bruce Lee
4. "If you're not getting told 'no' enough times a day, you're probably not doing it right or you're probably not pushing yourself hard enough." – Shafqat Islam
5. "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." –Apple Inc.

And when the drums of war have reached a fever pitch and the blood boils with hate and the mind has closed, the leader will have no need in seizing the rights of the citizenry. Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto their leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar." –Julius Caesar
25. "It is not the critic who counts, not the one who points out how the strong man stumbled or how the doer of deeds might have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred with sweat and dust and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, if he wins, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat." –Theodore Roosevelt
27. "It is never too late to be what you might have been." –George Eliot

FRANCE Under the aegis of the struggle for the Workers International
A rally was held by the POID (Independent and Democratic Workers Party) on the 15th of June in Paris. Dominique Ferré introduced the party's internationalist struggle to the workers and young people present at the rally.
Dear friends, dear comrades,
I am convinced that all of us gathered here today – all of us who are fighting the Macron government's capitalistic politics, all of us who fight for labour rights and democracy – all of us agree that our rally should send our salute to the general strike that yesterday assembled 45 million workers in Brazil, a general strike that unites all the trade union confederations of Brazil, for the withdrawal of the retirement pension reform and for an end to the budget cuts in public education. 45 million workers, united with their trade union confederations, said: Out with the retirement reform, Out with Bolsonaro, who was fraudulently elected, Out with the International Monetary Fund's plans!
I am equally convinced that we all agree for our rally to salute the astounding movement of hundreds of thousands of Chinese workers in Hong Kong who have been demonstrating for a week now against the antidemocratic law concocted by the bureaucrats of Beijing hand-in-hand with the capitalists of Hong Kong, in an attempt to terrorise and repress those who organise strikes or who organise independent trade unions.
And of course we all agree that our rally should send its fraternal salute to the formidable uprising of the Algerian people who, yesterday – for the 17th Friday in a row – came out into the streets all over Algeria in the millions, from the north to the south and the east to the west, to say "system, clear out" – a slogan to which, yesterday, was added "sovereignty of the people". Within this general movement for the system to clear out, there is the proper movement of the working class, which, through hundreds of strikes and the battle to reclaim the trade unions, is seeking to affirm a decisive stance in this struggle.
Our gathering must salute our brothers and sisters in Brazil, in Algeria and in China, but it is not out of simple solidarity. The POID was created from the beginning under the aegis of the combat for the Workers International, and barely was it created than it threw all its force into support for the labour activists of India, for the success of the "World Conference against War, Exploitation and Precarious Labour" which was held in Mumbai in November 2016, and created the International Workers Committee against War and Exploitation and for the Workers International. (Note that the activists from Pakistan had not been able to attend that conference, due to the politics of the governments' maintaining the threat of war between the two countries).
And there is one fundamental reason for this combat, a reason that was shared 150 years ago at the creation of the labour movement by all of the currents and tendencies that make it up: that while it is absolutely indisputable that the class struggle takes on different forms from one country to another, due to history and to social conditions, it is also just as indisputable that – whatever the country – this class struggle has the same international content, i.e., the struggle between the exploited and their exploiters, in a global capitalist system, which makes it so that there is only one single working class that knows no borders.
Whether that working class works and is exploited in the "special economic zones" of China, or builds independent trade unions in the automobile factories of Brazil, or revolts in the industrial zones of Algeria, or strikes in the Public Finance centres and hospitals in France, there is one single international working class.
For the POID, fighting for the Workers International means implementing the most elementary of the principles that the international working class was built upon over 150 years ago.
The first of these principles is worker solidarity. It is solidarity in any and all circumstances between the exploited – no matter their nationality, the colour of their skin, their religion or their political opinions; it is the solidarity of all the exploited against the exploiters. And this solidarity, of course, is particularly vital when workers and activists find themselves facing repression. That is why the POID has fully associated itself, for over a year now, with the combat in Brazil for the release of Lula, former president of the PT (Workers Party) who, after a rigged trial a little more than a year ago, was jailed for one and only one reason: to prevent the Workers Party – which had named him candidate to stand in the October 2018 presidential elections – from being able to decide who would represent it.
Of course, we know that much could be said about what the PT and Lula did when they were running Brazil during twelve years. A lot could be said on what millions and millions of Brazilian workers and peasants expected from the Workers Party, in terms of land reform, a stop to privatisations and a stop to the paying of the debt. But our position is that it is up to the Brazilian workers, and them alone, to decide who should represent them, to decide which party represents them and which party doesn't represent them – and it is certainly not up to Trump or Bolsonaro, to Macron or the IMF to do so. That is why the POID is unconditionally for the release of Lula.
Likewise the POID has been, for months now, calling unconditionally for the release of all the political prisoners in Algeria, and I did indeed say all of them, without privileging any one of them over another. We call for the release of all the prisoners, without considering that some might be more emblematic than others. Because, as was said in Algiers yesterday, in front of thousands of demonstrators, by Salah Dabouz, the lawyer of Kamel Eddine Fekhar – who died in jail on 28 May after more than 50 days of a hunger strike: "Democratic freedoms are not to be divided up". The POID believes this to be just, and it calls for the release of all the political prisoners jailed in Algeria, in particular the young Hadj Ghermoul, who was imprisoned last January because he was perhaps one of the first to hold up a sign saying "No to a 5th term", and for the release of all the prisoners in Ghardaïa, including Mohammed Baba Nejar, an FFS activist jailed in 2005 and who has been rotting there ever since, and of course for the release of Workers Party general secretary Louisa Hanoune, even though this does not in any case mean we support her politics.
For us, fighting for the Workers International is the fight to respect a democratic principle that today only the working class can uphold, the right of peoples to self-determination. Oh, yes, of course, many leftwing leaders do assert that they share this position. Unfortunately, this sharing can bend to accommodate.
For the POID, which fights for the Workers International, fighting for the right of peoples to self-determination means in particular fighting for the right of the Catalan people to free themselves from the Spanish monarchy inherited from Franco's dictatorship, the right of the Catalan people to create its Catalan Republic, which will open the way to the free union of the republics of Spain.
Fighting for the right of peoples to self-determination obviously means fighting for the right of the people of Venezuela to freely decide their own destiny, free from any interference by the United States. And its is of course the recognition of the Palestinian people's national rights, their right to their land, their nation and the right of return for all the refugees.
Fighting for the right of peoples to self-determination, for us in France, means fighting for the withdrawal of all French troops from all the countries where they intervene, and particularly fighting for the withdrawal of the French troops that Mr Hollande sent to Mali in 2012 and who, today, are complicit in the massacring of villagers that has multiplied in these past days.
Fighting for the right of peoples to self-determination means of course fighting for the right of the Algerian people to freely decide their own destiny, i.e., fighting for the right of the Algerian people to prevent any so-called solution that would aim at keeping the system in place – i.e., fighting for the right of the Algerian people to freely designate their own representatives in a sovereign constituent assembly, which will freely decide on the form and content of the democracy and of the new Algerian that millions of Algerians aspire to.
But the condition for this – and I say this because we are holding our rally in France – is that we in France fight against all the Macron government attempts at interference in Algerian affairs, and particularly over these last days, against the attempt by the French multinational Total to get
its hands on Algerian oil. Yes, we affirm here and now: Algerian gas and oil belongs to the Algerian people. They won that right at the cost of a million and a half martyrs in 1962.
Fighting for the right of peoples to self-determination means opposing the American march to war against Iran. Incidents have multiplied in the Persian Gulf, and Trump's provocations have multiplied, supported by the European Union and Macon. They dare invoke the nature of the Iranian regime to justify their march to war! And they finance the Saudi monarchy and its war of extermination in Yemen?! They roll out the red carpet for Netanyahu and Bolsonaro?! They dare to claim that it is Iranian military provocation that justifies the march to war! And, a few years ago, they faked the lie of "weapons of mass destruction" to justify the invasion and destruction of Iraq.
So we, the POID, along with our U.S. labour activist comrades, affirm: "Hands off Iran! No to any war against Iran!" In France, in the United States, let us requisition the military budgets' billions to open schools, to build hospitals, to give real work with real wages to young people.
That, for us, is what fighting for the Workers International means. And, in conclusion, I will say that the Workers International is what we use to counter the European Union of bankers, of bosses and the European Commissions with their austerity plans.
Yes, last 11 May there were 600 of us in Strasbourg and, if I may say, in Strasbourg we were at home, alongside our comrade activists from Turkey who are fighting against the Erdogan regime. We were at home alongside activists from Hungary, where the workers went on strike and won an 18% pay rise in the multinational factories. We were at home alongside the British activists who demand that the British people's June 2016 vote to leave the European Union be respected. We were at home alongside the German activists, and we are at home in the European Liaison Committee that we created in Strasbourg, against Privatisations, against Deregulation and against Precarious Labour. So yes, as the song says "Tomorrow, the International will be the human race" and it is now and all together that we are going to build this International Workers Party.

Feds test RFID controls at U.S. borders
Homeland Security hopes the chips, embedded in customs forms, will make entry and exit speedier and more secure for foreign visitors.
The goal of the technology is to speed up--if not automate--secure entry and exit of visitors at the nation's ports, according to a Homeland Security press release.
The chips are embedded in Customs and Border Protection Form I-94A, which the government issues at all ports of entry to chart the departure and arrival of certain foreign visitors--typically those with nonimmigrant visas, such as students or guest workers.
At the test sites, chip readers note the entry or exit of visitors who pass by and transmit that information to a government-maintained database. Each tag carries only a serial number, which cannot be changed, and holds no personal identifiers. Only U.S. government officials have the ability to link that number to the visitor's personal records, the press release said.
The technology used is "largely transparent to visitors, requiring no additional stops by vehicles or pedestrians entering or exiting the five ports," the press release said. Visitors do, however, have to make the form "visible" when crossing the border "to ensure optimal reading."
The tests are under way at land ports in Arizona, New York and Washington state--selected for their variety of weather and traffic conditions--and will continue until early next summer.
The technology is part of US-Visit, a government program that relies on biometric and biographical information from visitors around the world to screen and verify visitors' identities.
The procedures are currently in place at entry points at 115 airports and 15 seaports, and at secondary inspection centers in 50 land ports. The State Department, for its part, has already kicked off an effort to require that all visitors carry so-called e-passports tied to biometric data.
Since their creation in 2004, US-Visit policies have been used to deny visas to about 7,000 applicants, more than a third of whom had fingerprints matching those on law enforcement and security watch lists, the Department of Homeland Security announced in May. As of that time, fingerprint matches and other biometric data collected through US-Visit have stopped about 600 people from entering the country and aided in making 39 arrests.
The trouble is, overbroad exemptions for Mexican and Canadian visitors dilute the program's security benefits, Jessica Vaughan, a senior policy analyst at the Center for Immigration Studies, argued in a paper released Monday.
Only about 22 percent of the neighboring visitors are obligated to receive screening, the paper said. Meanwhile, fraud and abuse of Border Crossing Cards used by Mexicans for entry continues, and the US-Visit controls have led to the interception of eight suspected Canadian terrorists. Homeland Security has also "displayed a remarkable lack of curiosity" about those who overstay their visas, Vaughan charged.
"Right now we are letting in about 150 million visitors a year on the honor system," Vaughan said in an e-mail to CNET News.com, "and if we learned anything from 9/11, it's that it's very risky to admit so many people without confirming their identity, screening them against a look-out list, and making sure they abide by the terms of their visa."
She suggested that without policy changes, the system "could well turn into little more than a high-tech Potemkin Village,"--that is, a sham.

"Hip-hop is the world's most influential culture"
Renowned entertainment company Mass Appeal has collaborated with Universal Music Group (UMG) to create Mass Appeal India, a new label devoted to Indian hip-hop.
Mass Appeal India was launched on August 20, 2019, and it is focused on amplifying India's growing hip-hop culture on a global scale.
Universal Music India's (UMI) headquarters in Mumbai will house Mass Appeal India's operations. The two companies will work together as a multi-channel partnership.
Mass Appeal India will sign and collaborate with talented hip-hop artists in India. Through the company's global network, artists will get to work with brands and content creators to connect the culture with a worldwide audience.
The company will leverage UMI's marketing and promotion teams within India, whereas Mass Appeal will lead a release strategy within the United States and Canada.
UMG will exclusively distribute every release from Mass Appeal India worldwide. They will receive additional support from its network of over 60 territories for select artists and projects.
As part of the announcement, the label revealed that they have signed DIVINE, one of India's most respected and popular rappers.
It is his lyrics that inspired Bollywood film Gully Boy, starring Ranveer Singh. The film went on to be a huge success.
DIVINE was on five tracks and the film has helped showcase him and India's rap scene to new audiences around the world.
With hits like 'Meri Gully Mein', 'Jungli Sher' and 'Kaam 25', DIVINE's brutally honest rap style is inspired by his own experiences and the streets of Mumbai.
'Jungli Sher' was the first Indian single that Apple Music released worldwide. DIVINE was also the first Indian artist to be on BBC 1 Xtra's rap freestyle segment 'Fire In The Booth' in 2016.
On the music label's launch, American rapper and Mass Appeal co-founder Nas said:
"I was first introduced to DIVINE's music through the brilliant film Gully Boy. I'm proud to announce the launch of Mass Appeal India with DIVINE as the first artist on our roster.
"Hip-hop is the world's most influential culture – it's only right to share what we do at Mass Appeal on a global level.
"We're excited about joining forces with the team at UMG India to help further spark a movement that is constantly in the making."
Mass Appeal CEO Peter Bittenbender added: "Coming off what has been a landmark year for Mass Appeal, we are beyond thrilled to announce the global expansion of our brand in partnership with UMI and with DIVINE as our first superstar talent signing.
"This new venture is an incredibly exciting extension of Mass Appeal's strategy to progress the conversation and landscape of hip-hop by taking our brand to the most exciting global markets."
Executive Vice-President, Market Development at UMG, Adam Granite, explained:
"For many years hip-hop, regardless of local language, has been growing rapidly around the world as the authentic sound of the streets.
"We are excited to work together with Nas, Peter, DIVINE, Devraj and the UMI team to launch Mass Appeal India, which we believe will become India's premier dedicated hip-hop brand.
"The emergence of Mass Appeal India and the signing of DIVINE will only fuel the next wave of Indian hip-hop and rap talent and help accelerate the growth and reach of the genre in India, the subcontinent and beyond."
On signing with Mass Appeal, DIVINE said:
"It's an honour to be associated with a legend like Nas. I grew up listening to his music.
"For him to recognise not just me, but the whole Indian hip-hop scene is a big win for hip-hop and for hip-hop in India."
"He is looking forward to working not just with me, but a lot of the young talent in India.
"I will be working with Mass Appeal India not just in a personal capacity, but also in my capacity as founder of Gully Gang Entertainment to help Mass Appeal India build a thriving ecosystem for urban music and culture in the subcontinent.
"So, let's bring our A-game because the world is watching."
Devraj Sanyal, MD and CEO of UMG, India and South Asia stated:
"Over the past few years, UMI has concentrated on creating a culture of artist-first, non-film music to satisfy India's rapidly evolving music audience.
"Hip-hop has been a key area of this focus and we have found the natural partner in Mass Appeal, Nas and Peter to help realise our dream of breaking Indian hip-hop in the region, as well as to the rest of the world together.
"It was only right to lead this global announcement with the signing of India's number one hip-hop star DIVINE for his highly anticipated debut album.
"As he articulately puts it, 'Apna time aayega' which means 'our time will come' – now is certainly the time for Indian hip-hop to break into the mainstream."
DIVINE is currently working on his debut album titled Kohinoor. It is set to be released later in 2019.

Longtime Clinton insider Mark Penn raised eyebrows throughout Democratic circles this week; publishing a revealing op-ed in the Wall Street Journal that flat-out confirmed Hillary Clinton will likely run for president a third-time.
The article, simply titled 'Hillary Will Run Again,' claims the former Secretary of State will "easily capture" the Democratic nomination and run against President Trump in two short years.
"Get ready for Hillary Clinton 4.0. More than 30 years in the making, this new version of Mrs. Clinton, when she runs for president in 2020, will come full circle—back to the universal-health-care-promoting progressive firebrand of 1994," writes Penn.
"Mrs. Clinton has a 75% approval rating among Democrats, an unfinished mission to be the first female president, and a personal grievance against Mr. Trump," he adds. "Expect Hillary 4.0 to come out swinging. She has decisively to win those Iowa caucus-goers who have never warmed up to her. They will see her now as strong, partisan, left-leaning and all-Democrat—the one with the guts, experience and steely-eyed determination to defeat Mr. Trump."
Read the full op-ed at the Wall Street Journal.
A THIRD TIME? Top Clinton Aide Says Hillary May Run in 2020
A former Hillary Clinton campaign staffer raised eyebrows throughout the Democratic Party this week; suggesting the former Secretary of State may be mulling a potential rematch against President Trump in the 2020 race for the White House.
According to The Week, Philippe Reines -a senior aide dating back to 2002 and top advisor at the State Department- refused to rule out Hillary's potential third run for the Oval Office; claiming no other Democrat has "anywhere near a base of 32 million people."
"The party, he feels, shouldn't dismiss her as a failed candidate because she's 'smarter' and 'tougher' than most, and she 'could raise money easier than most,'" adds the author.
"Publicly, Clinton has said she will not run again, but Reines doesn't sound so sure she'll keep her word on that. Politico explored Clinton's careful re-entry into the political arena, noting that she's going on tour with former President Bill Clinton this fall and has reportedly even called up journalists who cover the White House to put out 'the occasional feeler,'" writes The Week.

BERNIE'S BACK! The Socialist Senator HITS THE CAMPAIGN Trail in Iowa
Vermont Senator and former presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders is back in Iowa, campaigning for a former staffer running for Congress in the pivotal state and raising new questions about a possible run for the White House in 2020.
According to the Des Moines Register, the socialist Senator will deliver the keynote speech at an event for Democrat Pete D'Alessandro later this month; marking the third time Sanders has returned to the state since his failed bid for the Oval Office in 2016.
"Bernie knows that we need bold, progressive leaders in Congress if we're going to change the direction of our country," said D'Alessandro. "That's why I'm proudly supporting Medicare for All, a $15/hour living wage, and free college tuition for those who work hard. We can take our country back and continue the movement Bernie started here in 2016."
While the Senator has remained quiet about another run for the White House, he continues to lead fellow Democrats in recent polling.
The hyper-liberal Congressman still receives high-levels of support from the progressive wing of the Democratic party, many of whom feel the Senator faced an unfair fight against Hillary Clinton during the 2016 primaries.

The inspiration for the company came to Chris Staines, the founder of Freeplay Energy, in 1994 when he was watching a BBC documentary and realized the great potential of a pioneering idea of British inventor, Trevor Baylis. The latter developed a prototype of a windup radio, which does not require neither batteries nor electricity. Trevor Baylis has appeared on TV claiming the radio was indispensable as an effective mean of communication to spread the safe-sex message which would help decrease HIV/AIDS cases in Africa. Following this idea and willing to promote self-sufficient electronics, Chris and his business partner, Rory Stear, created, with the help of different organizations, FreePlay Energy Group (FEG). Their idea surpassed the initiatives of many NGO's that have tried many times to distribute radios, but the need for a battery or electricity always blew the success away. Instead, FEG has commercialized a product that needs no power-source and made earlier unaffordable radio transmission in Africa possible.
Freeplay Energy Plc is showing very strong financial results. Its net profits for 2007 rose to $11.5 million from 7.2 million for 2006 which is due to the increase in its revenue which reached $44.7 million vs. $26.1 million in 2006 .Currently, the company's market capitalization is around $12.5 million (£6.42) . FEG's mission is to make energy available to everybody all of the time. It exists to make an improvement possible in the well-being of impoverished people. Regarding its values, FEG is committed to providing environmentally friendly and high quality products.
Freeplay Energy operates in the 'duo structure'. Freeplay's Foundation is operating in developing markets according to the following principles: It distributes lifeline radios in the rural areas of Africa and insures that every unit of its product serves a 'listening-group' (which can be a school or a 'community gathering place; where 10-20 people, for smaller lifeline appliance, or around 40 people, for large lifeline gadget, get together to listen and discuss issues raised in radio programs) and not only a single person; It also works on the content of information provided by close work and cooperation with local and international broadcasters. Thus, health information, electoral and civic education, agricultural assistance, environmental issues, etc are all transmitted; It strictly monitors and evaluated the effects of its programs. This enables FEG to learn and improve its strategies constantly.
Up until now, Freeplay Foundation distributed more than 250,000 radios in Sub-Saharan Africa, which allows access to information to more than 6,000,000 people. The other part of Freeply Energy Group – Freeplay Radio2 (1997) , appeals to Western markets . The gains obtained with the sales of Freeplay products (which include not only radios but also battery-free flashlights and torches, mobile devices, etc) are used to support the Foundation. At the same time, the Foundation generates publicity for the selling of such simple products in oversaturated rich markets. Therefore, there are mutual positive synergies for the two `businesses´.
Although FEG has diversified its assortment of products , the largest profit per product belongs to the wind-up radio (in fact, FEG obtained a patent for the wind-up technology). Moreover, products provided by Freeplay Energy on the both markets are environmentally friendly since they require only human, solar or other means of energy that are not causing any pollution. Currently Freeplay Foundation is providing only lifeline radios to African countries. It is also working on developing a cheap renewable lighting to provide to African communities since the great majority of the population does not have an access to electricity and, therefore, light.
However, there is a big range of products that could be developed and spread in same territories improving the life conditions of these people. The company, for example, could develop lifeline/ radio mobile gadgets since there is literally no mobile means of communication between villages.

It seemed that Server.app was interfering with the 10.13.4 update. It would complain that the Server Update required 10.13.4 but offer to install the previous version. Clicking OK for that, but nothing happened and 10.13.4 did not download. Then the update panel stopped populating; it would briefly show the connection spinner, then go completely blank.
A web search showed lots of people having this blank updates problem back in 2013, and at least one person solved it by deleting and reinstalling Server.
I deleted Server, but the reinstall attempt gave me the same previous version offer, but again, clicking OK, nothing downloaded. So I tried hiding it from Purchased. Noticed that Purchased wants me to "accept" GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, & iMovie. I clicked Accept, but every time I go to Purchased, it still wants that. Updates is still blank.
Logging out of App Store and back in didn't help. Reboot didn't help. Down loading and installing the Combo update didn't help.
The Manage page won't let me unhide Server.
Trying to re-install Server, they want me to pay for it again!
Searching for an associated plist finds dozens whose names suggest they have something to do with App store. Don't want to delete that many.
Any ideas? I sent a complaint similar to this to the App Store support, but I'm not holding my breath for an answer.
In case anyone gets confused by all that, here are four things wrong:
- Updates is blank (it should show Xcode not yet updated and all the "recently updated" items.
- "Unhide" does nothing
- "Accept" does nothing
- Wants me to pay again for Server (4) is minor because I have backups, but (1) & (2) will prevent updating it.

BALTIMORE — Lutheran World Relief and IMA World Health have opened a country office in war-torn Yemen, initiating projects that are improving sanitation and providing clean water for communities in the impoverished country at the southern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.
Yemen, one of the world's poorest countries, is in the midst of a humanitarian crisis considered among the worst by the United Nations. Even before Yemen's civil war started in 2015, half of its population lived below the poverty line, a figure that currently exceeds 60 percent. As many as 10 million people are suffering from malnutrition, and nearly a quarter of a million are in danger of starvation.
Lutheran World Relief and IMA World Health are working to improve the health of war-affected communities through projects focusing on waste management and rainwater collection to provide a clean and safe source of water.
An initiative in the Qabitah district, an area located north of the city of Aden that has suffered from the armed conflict, is providing rainwater collection systems and ceramic filtration devices to internally displaced people as well as members of the host communities. This area of Yemen is dependent on rain as a source of water in a region with an annual dry season from October to April. The project will employ members of the community to build the rainwater collection systems under the supervision of a civil engineer. Families will also be able to purify water with the filters they receive, reducing the occurrence of waterborne diseases.
The waste management project is being carried out in a neighborhood in Aden. The war has disrupted municipal services, and the garbage is not being collected in many areas. The mounds of trash are a breeding ground for flies and mosquitoes that spread diseases such as malaria or dengue.
The project will employ local community members to remove trash and other debris from the streets. The refuse will be taken to one of three garbage collection facilities being constructed through this initiative. To heighten community awareness about the importance of waste management and personal hygiene, the project team will hold hygiene awareness sessions and distribute informational brochures and 10,000 hygiene kits.
"The extent of devastation of the communities, dysfunctional infrastructure and health systems, coupled with chronic poverty and active conflict that I witnessed firsthand during my visit to Aden last month doesn't compare with anything that I have seen before," said Umer Khan, Senior Director of Emergency Operations for Lutheran World Relief and IMA World Health. "Yet, I believe that with dedication of local communities and some support to stimulate local capacities, the potential to overcome these challenges is even greater."

Candi Kethek
Indonesia, Central Java, 15th century, Andesite
Candi Kethek is built into the terraced landscape of Gunung Lawu, the tea-covered mountain that also houses the better-known sites of Candi Sukuh and Candi Cetho.
Candi Kethek is approached via an unpaved pathway that extends from an upper terrace of Candi Cetho's northern side.
The path tracks along a steep ravine and then descends steeply to a waterfall.
Straight lines, right angles, and sheer faces on the boulders reveal that the waterfall's basin was an ancient stone quarry. Proximity to a water source and this quarry likely factored into decisions about where on Gunung Lawu to build temples, which were constructed from the mountain's stone.
The top of the temple is marked with a small thatch shrine that looks out over the steep ascent.

|Course Name A to Z Selection (Showing "K")
Similar to the update to the Golfers page last year, the main Courses page ("View Options\Courses" menu option in the member section) on Golf Predictor has been updated to now allow users to display courses beginning with a particular letter. This was done for ease of navigation, given that the number of courses has increased to well over 200. As shown in the screenshot above (for "K"), you now get an A to Z selection list and the count of all matching courses for that letter. You may select "All" to revert to all courses and the selected option is shown in black in the A to Z list.
This new functionality allows you to see some interesting (useless!) information, such as the most common letter ("C" with 19*) and the least common (J, U, X & Z with 0 each). Just another way to make Golf Predictor, the premium professional golf statistics site, even better!
*Excluding "T" as a lot of courses start with "The" or "TPC"!

If you're continue to young sufficient to remember your birthday, you probably also keep in mind unique birthstone allotted to it. But on your age group, we wager you don't actually know the SIGNIFICANCE of your birthstone and what strength the ancients sensed can be bestowed of you by putting on it. Sept . Birthstone: Sapphire Birthstone Components: Provides physical and emotional stability. Substitute Birthstone: Agate
Sapphire is definitely the birthstone for Sept . and also the gemstone presented for wedding anniversaries of your 5th and 45th several years of matrimony. Removed from the Greek word for glowing blue, sapphirus, sapphires use a time-honoured tradition with priests who considered them symbolic of purity and ruler s who considered them symbolic of intelligence. Sapphires have been mined as soon as the 7th Century BC in India and exactly what is now Sri Lanka. Today they can be found in Sri Lanka, Modern Australia, Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Kashmir, Myanmar, Thailand, The far east, Madagascar, and the United States.
In opposition to Which All Other People Are Calculated Sapphires, like rubies, are various corundum. The sapphire's color spectrum includes pinkish and lavender types, a unusual orange color, and, needless to say, the velvety blue sapphire that received the gem stone its label. As a result of way in which corundum crystals are shaped, sizeable sapphires are rare…and important. The priceless 563-carat Celebrity of India, displayed at New York City City's Museum of All-natural Record, will be the greatest and many popular of legend sapphires sapphires that are minimize to mirror light from inclusions inside the gemstone to disclose a brilliant six-legged star style.
To Your Wellness
So solid was the power of a sapphire, it had been alleged that a venomous snake place in a vessel made from sapphire would easily expire. Sapphires consequently received the status for an excellent all-function treatment and have been taken in for an antidote to poison. Additionally, sapphires have been terrain into powders as a fix for from colic to rheumatism and emotional health issues. Sapphires were also considered so as to stop blood loss and treat disorders from the eyes.
Your Eyes Get It
Egyptians related the very clear sapphire with the vision of September birthstone — the all-seeing, all-understanding eye inside the heavens — even though the gem stone was adopted from the Greeks to tap into the subconscious mind by exercising the launching of your thirdly eyesight.

Curses, Foiled Again
Otis Belicario Keene, 34, admitted stealing $300 worth of items from the base exchange store where he worked at Hurlburt Field in Mary Esther, Fla., when loss prevention officers confronted him after he wore one of the items, a $7.99 watch, to work. A colleague recognized it as among the stolen items. (Fort Walton Beach's Northwest Florida Daily News)
Kenneth Kenard Fortson, 21, and three other suspects in a home invasion in Riverdale, Ga., were fleeing when their pickup truck overturned. Fortson died, but not from the accident. "He was found with a weapon in his hand," Clayton County police Officer Eddie Soto said. "It appears he accidentally shot himself in the head." (Atlanta Journal-Constitution)
After an unknown male broke a store window to gain entry and then stole a large quantity of cigarettes, police in Nashua, N.H., said bystanders Meretta Sperow, 36, and Amanda Primeau, 25, decided to take advantage of the situation, even though one of the women had already called 911 to report the initial crime. Responding officers charged the women with stealing cigarettes and lottery tickets. (Manchester's New Hampshire Union Leader)
Homeland Insecurity
Future computer-based combat likely will involve electronic strikes that cause widespread power outages and even physical destruction of thousand-ton machines, according to the head of U.S. cyber-warfare forces. Army Gen. Keither Alexander also warned that recent massive losses of private and public data to computer criminals and spies represent the largest theft in history, estimating the value of lost information as high as $1 trillion. (Washington Times)
Florida authorities warned that Miami is being invaded by giant African land snails. They grow as large as 10 inches long, leave a slimy trail of excrement wherever they go, harbor the microscopic rat-lung worm, which can transmit meningitis to humans and "eat the stucco off the side of the house," according to Richard Gaskalla of the state Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, who declared, "It's us against the snails." (NPR)
Honesty Is the Best Policy
Facing federal bribery charges for arranging a quarter-million-dollar consulting contract for himself, Maryland Sen. Ulysses Currie, 74, was portrayed at his trial as too stupid to have planned such a scheme. Defense attorneys called as the first of several character witnesses former state lawmaker Timothy F. Maloney, who described Currie as "a wonderful person" and "nice" but insisted, "No one would call him smart."
Assistant U.S. Attorney Leo J. Wise questioned Maloney's characterization, pointing to Currie's background as a teacher and principal. "Did he get dumb when he went to the legislature?" Wise asked. The judge sustained the defense's objection to the question. (Washington Post)
When Guests Can't Take a Hint
Authorities charged Carl Preston Johnson, 50, with setting fire to his house in Horry County, S.C. Police Sgt. Robert Kegler said Johnson started the fire because some family members refused to leave the premises. (Myrtle Beach's Sun News)
Constitutional Wrongs
When prison inmate Michael Baynard, 37, requested a copy of the state constitution from the Pennsylvania Department of State through the state's Right to Know Law, he was told he couldn't have it. He appealed to the Office of Open Records, which ordered the State Department to send Baynard a copy. The department complied after deciding that appealing the Office of Open Records decision wasn't worth the time and money but insisted its position was correct.
Calling the State Department's denial "just plain silly," Barry Kauffman, executive director of Common Cause Pennsylvania, pointed out, "The amount of time spent reviewing the request, making a decision about it, denying it and then having to deal with the Office of Open Records probably cost a couple hundred dollars in staff time, where they could have just gone to the photocopier, copied the constitution and mailed it to the guy for 10 bucks." (Harrisburg's Patriot News) Foreperson of the Year
Accused murderer Derrick C. Smith received a summons for jury duty for his own trial in Schenectady County, N.Y. Commissioner of Jurors Hope Splittgerber noted it was the first time in her 28 years on the job that a defendant received a summons for his own trial. (Albany's Times Union)
Constant Companions
Authorities in Jefferson County, N.Y., questioned Ned Nefer, 38, after he was observed walking alongside a highway pushing a 6-foot mannequin he identified as Teagan, his wife. Finding no reason to detain him, Sheriff John P. Burns said Nefer explained he met Teagan when she was just a head and built a body for her before they were married in 1986 in California. Nefer added that the two were traveling from Syracuse to Watertown, a journey documented on a Facebook page created for them. He had 16 disposable cameras with him to take pictures along the way, pointing out, "We both really love the outdoors." (Watertown Daily Times)

Today I was looking at pictures of the National Counterterrorism Center, which I had never seen, but which seemed eerily familiar.
The caption on the picture of the front of the building (located in an "undisclosed location") noted that "each office is essentially a vault, with a coded lock to get in" and that "the external windows are bullet- and blast-proof."
The wikipedia entry for the NCTC contains this gem:
It is often described, inaccurately, as the real version of the Counter Terrorist Unit from the American serial television series 24.
It's interesting that the editors of the wiki entry felt the need to add "inaccurately" to that statement.
Please, who would ever make that correlation?

Meanwhile, the recent Tucson only got little changes, the upcoming 2021 Hyundai Tucson is predicted to push the automobile dynamic to a completely different order. From the very first time you set your eyes on the vehicle, you will spot the difference. The first change that you will notice is from the design of its headlight. It is a two-tiered LED headlight with even more gorgeous shape.
The exterior design of this New Tucson also has a great deal of change. The front and back section get a more stylish look. There is no attachment to the new cascade grille and the tailgate is also redesigned. Many people speculated that the front of this car is also going to be redesigned considering the front of the vehicle also experiencing some major changes. Furthermore, they speculated that the front of this vehicle will look like the Hyundai Grandmaster which is released in 2018. The automotive expert also notices a slight difference in the tire. Moreover, they also expect that the brand new Hyundai Tucson will have more elegant and fashionable rims.
The Interior Design of this 2021 Hyundai Tucson will be going through some modifications too. The modification could be seen through its dashboard as well as its leather seats, airbag, driver attention warning, etc. Furthermore, this vehicle is also expected to be more spacious, and airy. It is also expected that this vehicle will be having a spacious legroom, thigh room, and for the driver's head. Thus the driver and the passenger could ride in this vehicle without any issue.
The expanding rate of fuel has taken the entire world to disrupt. Thus the automaker in the world tries to manufacture cars that are user-friendly and consume a little amount of fuel. Fortunately, the 2021 Hyundai Tucson is on the friendly side. The basic engine that is used on the latest type of Hyundai Tucson has a 2.0-Liter engine that could deliver 161 horsepower and 150 pounds-feet of torque. It has around 23 mpg for city ride, 30 mpg for freeway and 26 mpg for both combinations. The Hyundai Tucson is also available on the hybrid.
Right now the engine option for this 2021 Hyundai Tucson is by using turbocharged with the capability to deliver 175 horsepower and 195 pounds-feet of torque.
2021 Hyundai Tucson Release Date and Price
Then again, there is no definite information regarding when this New Hyundai Tucson is going to be released and in what price point. However, seeing from prior Hyundai's releasing patterns of their brand new vehicle, it is predicted that this new generation of Hyundai Tucson will most likely be released in early 2021. As for the price point, it is predicted that the bottom model will most likely start around $ 32.000 and the SE model could be priced around $ 24.000. That price point is not that expensive, considering the quality and class that the customers will be getting from the top of this Korean car manufacturer.

Michelle Valles took over as the new co-anchor of "Today in LA" this morning, just one day after Alycia Lane was shown the door at the NBC owned station in Los Angeles.
The newscast made no acknowledgement of the "Today in LA" talent shuffle. Michael Brownlee, who has co-anchored the newscast alongside Lane for more than a year, was off this morning. Whit Johnson, KNBC's noon anchor, filled in for him. Valles' online bio has been updated to reflect her new role, while Lane's has been stripped from the KNBC website.
In addition to Lane, KNBC morning traffic reporter Sean Murphy parted ways with the station a as a result of the shuffle. On today's newscast, KNBC chopper reporter and photographer Will Kohlschreiber handled traffic reports from the station's chopper.
TVSpy hears that the executive producer of KNBC's morning newscast, Amy Mattison, was also let go Wednesday. A KNBC spokesperson declined to comment.

The 29-year-old Lomachenko was awarded the victory when Rigondeaux elected not to come out for the seventh round in the first world title professional showdown between two multiple Olympic gold medal winners.The outclassed Rigondeaux becomes the fourth straight boxer to quit mid-fight against Ukrainian Lomachenko.
"Maybe I should change my second name, now my name is 'No Mas Chenko'," Lomachenko joked in the ring, referring to Roberto Duran when he threw in the towel against Sugar Ray Leonard in 1980.Lomachenko improved to 10-1 as he handed the Cuban defector the first loss of his career in front of a crowd of 5,100 at the Madison Square Garden Theater.Lomachenko humiliated Rigondeaux, using his size and hand speed to dominate every round except the first.He grew increasingly frustrated with Rigondeaux's tactics which included low blows and more clutching and grabbing than throwing punches.
Lomachenko landed 55 punches overall while Rigondeaux landed just 15.Rigondeaux, who was booed loudly after the fight, looked the much smaller of the two fighters as the 37-year-old moved up two weight classes to challenge for the title.Rigondeaux (17-1) said after the fight that he hurt his hand in the second round and that was the reason he couldn't go on."I lost, but it was because of my hand," he said. "In the second round I injured the top of my hand and I could no longer continue." It marked the first time double Olympic gold medal winners battled for a world title as professionals.
Lomachenko, who won gold in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, has rocketed to the top of his weight class since turning pro in 2013, winning nine world championship fights in his first 11 contests. Lomachenko lost his second pro fight to veteran Orlando Salido but then won a world title in his next bout by beating Gary Russell. He became a two division champion by moving up in weight in just his seventh fight to beat Roman Martinez.
"He is a technical fighter. Very quick and very explosive," Rigondeaux said of Lomachenko.A product of Cuba's storied amateur program, Rigondeaux won more than 450 amateur fights and is a two-time Olympic champion, having won gold in 2000 and 2004.Since turning pro in 2009, his biggest fight before Saturday was a dismantling of Nonito Donaire in 2013.His last fight, against Moises Flores, was ruled a no contest after he inadvertently landed a fight-ending punch after the bell.

Here's my quick little creation. Although the sentiment is meant to be funny/cute, I have to admit that the humidity in the air here is making it very very VERY hard to feel "Christmas-y" at all!! LOL!

This example shows how to find how many days are between two dates using Java 8 date time api and Joda time. We will first subtract 1 day from the current date and then find the days between the start and end date. In a comparable example we demonstrate how to find the difference between two dates in days using groovy.
Java 8 Date and Time API
This snippet will calculate days between two dates using java 8 Period.between and ChronoUnit.DAYS.between. Each approach will calculate the amount of time between two temporal objects in the form of days. Something to note, a
ChronoUnit gives an absolute count of days, whereas
Period is an abstraction for more units than just the day.
Joda Time
This snippet will find the difference between two dates in the number of days using joda.
