Superb Internet Celebrates 22nd Anniversary
The world's oldest Cloud Host gives every 22nd order 22 years of free service
(McLean, VA / Seattle, WA / Honolulu, HI) — Superb Internet, the world's original and first cloud host, embarks on a 2 month long celebration its 22nd anniversary.
Superb Internet Corp, an enterprise-grade global cloud, dedicated and web hosting service provider, was founded in July of 1996. Superb started with a focus on web hosting, including being the first to offer name-based hosting back in 1997, alongside greater emphasis placed on dedicated servers in 1998. In late 1999, Superb Internet was the first to offer commercial Virtual Private Server (VPS) service – virtualization that is the direct predecessor to today's cloud, making Superb the world's first cloud host. Superb was a decade ahead of its time; the term cloud computing was not even coined until 2007, and cloud hosting followed a few years later. In the years since, Superb has continued to lead the industry, building the first hosting company operated coast-to-coast IP backbone in 2004, three of its own data centers over 2000-2009, its one-of-a-kind dedicated resource, guaranteed performance, supercomputing networking and distributed storage based, modern cloud platform in 2013, further updated to the second generation ThunderCloud in 2017, and more.
Superb Internet invites customers – both existing and new – to join its 22nd anniversary celebration. Every order placed between June 11, 2018 and August 22, 2018 will be automatically entered in a 1-in-22 chance of receiving 22 years of free service. Every 22nd order placed during these two months will receive 22 years of completely free service.
There are no limitations and no order too big or too small. There is also no limit to how many customers will receive 22 years of free service: every 22nd order will be awarded 22 years of completely free service. For example, 22nd, 44th, and even up to 2200th, 2222nd order, and so on will be eligible. Furthermore, the lucky recipients of 22 years of free service will be able to change their service as needed over time. The monthly credited amount of the winning order is usable throughout the next 22 years – that is, 264 months – towards any and all Superb Internet provided services.
To put this in perspective, a $100/month account could receive $26,400 of free service over the next 22 years; a larger $4000/month account has a 1 in 22 chance to receive more than $1 Million ($1,056,000, to be precise) of free service over the next 22 years. The odds of winning big are 1:22 and there is absolutely nothing to lose (no lottery ticket to purchase).For more details on the celebration, please visit https://www.superb.net/celebrating-22

As a self-proclaimed savvy shopper, I'm thrilled to say that I've been having quite a rousing run of the summer sales this season. Zara, COS and Topman have all proven plentiful in their reductions, but none has seen me reach for my bewildered bank card more than River Island. I've picked up everything from lapel pins to shoes, but the proverbial pièce de résistance of my rail rummages has got to be this luscious leopard print bomber- an unbelievable find at just €30 down from €75- bargain!
Light enough for those chillier summer days, but with ample heat to survive tricky transitional seasons, I know that this is one sale purchase I definitely will not regret when my bulging bank statement arrives! I decided to keep the rest of my look quite minimal in colour for the first outing of my new favourite jacket du jour, but still maintain a chic-y aesthetic by adding some fun textures and accessories.
The classic petal collar shirt adds formality to an otherwise laid-back look, while the pleather Zara pants with biker-ribbed and zipped knees offer edge to the ensemble.
Accessories are of course what maketh the man, and I couldn't resist picking up this ghetto-glam gold bracelet (just €3!) from River Island to make my watch WERK even harder! I continued my animal print aesthetic by adding some corresponding zebra print socks to my purple and green tinged trainers- the same colours as my bargain bomber!
Et voila! Luxe leopard for an absolute steal. How could a ghetto-gal resist?!

Photos by Julianna Hunter.
They exited the bus about a half-hour after sunrise on January 23, stretching their travel-worn limbs in an early morning mist. Clear plastic backpacks stuffed with snacks and first aid kits were hitched onto shoulders. Signature pink knitted caps were crammed on heads, a show of solidarity that doubled as an effective barrier against the mid-January chill.
It wasn't a gathering you would necessarily expect from Alabamians, a state which was among the reddest of the red in the 2016 presidential election, with a U.S. senator who is such a trusted advisor to President Donald Trump that he's been tapped as the next attorney general.
But dozens of women, along with a handful of men and children, boarded charter buses in Birmingham Friday evening, headed for Washington D.C. The group would lend their bodies and voices to a protest some experts are calling the largest demonstration in the nation's history.
In sum, the Alabama coalition would spend two-thirds of the entire trip on the road, around 13 hours each way, bolstered by fitful naps and gas station snacks, to attend the Women's March on Washington.
But the exhausting trip was worth it, participants say, as a respite from an oft-isolating political and social climate in Alabama.
Beth Resha, a rider on Birmingham Bus #2, hailed from Guntersville, Alabama. "It's redder than red," Resha said of Guntersville's political leanings. "It's practically burgundy."
Resha, whose seatmate to Washington was her mother, wouldn't have considered herself politically active before the 2016 election. Trump's rhetoric about women never sat well with her, but an encounter with a hometown acquaintance last year flipped a switch in her head.
"This woman said, 'I don't think I even know a Democrat,'" Resha said, chuckling and shaking her head. "And I said, 'Well yes, you do.'"
Being a blue dot in a red state can be overwhelming, Resha said, and often lonely.
"You always feel like you're outnumbered," Resha said, "but something like this restores your faith again."
It's difficult to estimate total crowd size, but there's no doubt attendance exceeded initial forecasts. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority reported more than 1 million "entries" into the capital's Metro (subway) system on Saturday, a rough estimate that tallies passenger trips and likely counted people on return trips twice.
Regardless, the Washington Post reports Saturday's Metro numbers are the second-biggest daily volume in Metro's 40-year history. President Barack Obama's first inauguration still holds the record.
The Women's March Metro trips nearly doubled the number of trips taken on Friday, President Donald Trump's inauguration day.
Birmingham's bus fleet joined a registered 1,200 charter buses from across the country in a sprawling parking lot of the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. Many of their fellow bus riders had traveled longer trips than theirs.
"It was overwhelming," Lisa Brackett, a Birmingham rider who hails from Gadsden, said of the size and diversity of the crowd. "To see women in their 90s on walkers, dads holding up their kids, teenagers climbing trees to get a better view."
Unlike some riders, Brackett has considered herself politically active all her life. "We were a very political family. The moment you turned 18, you registered to vote," she said.
But despite a life of activism, the 2016 campaign was difficult. She thought Trump's chances were dashed after reports broke of him mocking a disabled New York Times reporter. Then the sexually explicit recordings leaked and sexual assault allegations bubbled up. But for every stumbling block that Brackett thought would trip Trump up, his supporters seemed to push back the line of what they deemed acceptable.
"I've been surprised by the people I thought I knew," she said.
Brackett, who identifies as a gay woman, said she was marching in solidarity for gay and minority rights, but she was galvanized Saturday by the community of people marching for so many different issues: "It's been overwhelming to see in action people who are compassionate and on the right side of history."
The charter buses from Birmingham and Huntsville weren't the only ones on the road from the Yellowhammer State to D.C. this weekend; many people caravanned themselves. As Alabamians are wont to do, Auburn and Alabama school colors were on display alongside political buttons and pins. School slogans were exchanged alongside high-fives in the shoulder-to-shoulder traffic on the National Mall, camaraderie of origin in a diverse crowd.
Courtney Chapman Thomas of Tuscaloosa was wading through the crowd when she spotted an Alabama sign one of the bus riders carried. Thomas and her friends say they decided the week of the march to attend and drove up together.
"If I didn't come, that would [be] an action; a definite choice not to participate," she said. "And not participating is not acceptable anymore. It's time to do something. I can't be a bystander to injustice anywhere."
Alexa Hayes, a Birmingham native, also chose to drive up to D.C. herself. Hayes said she considered herself politically active before the march, though much of it was relegated to the online realm.
Though the Women's March was not organized strictly as a political protest against Trump, Hayes believes it's a direct response to rhetoric Trump encouraged during his campaign. The campaign brought out the worst in people, Hayes said, including sexism, racism, and xenophobia.
"They're standing proud now, crowing like they 'won' and that their 'good old days' way of life is coming back," Hayes said. "It's not. The popular vote said it's not. The polls said it's not. Trump's toilet approval rating going into the inauguration said it's not. We march to demonstrate that we the people will not accept that way of life and refuse to go backwards, retreat inwards and recreate a white, male-dominated country. …
"We were really marching against that way of life, that perspective of what America should be. We see a world of open arms, peace and equality. We'll march to demonstrate that and we'll fight for it if need be, I have no doubt."
After an hours-long rally, the Women's March officially began on Saturday afternoon. Hundreds of thousands of people inched their way up Independence Avenue, Brackett and her group among them.
But at the back of the massive crowd, many were unsure if they would get a chance to finish the route behind so many people. Groups began to break off, crossing the National Mall in the opposite direction of the official march route. They coalesced on Pennsylvania Avenue, spilling onto the sidewalks and risers erected for Friday's inaugural parade as they marched toward the White House.
Brackett said the sight of the original march meeting another wave of people was her favorite moment of the day.
"Suddenly there was another parade of hundreds of thousands of people. It was amazing to see the two groups knit together," Brackett said. "There were so many women, but there were disabled people, people in their 90s, children, men. It was really about humanity."
Though the march, in D.C. and across the world, garnered a bigger turnout than expected, participants know that continued steps at home will be necessary to ensure the protection of women's rights going forward.
"[Young people] are the generation that's got to deal with this. You've got to get involved at the state and local level," Brackett said. "Just run for something. Run to be the dog catcher. Put yourself out there."
Resha also headed home ready to encourage the younger generation, and to speak louder in her burgundy corner of the world.
"I can't just sit by anymore," she said. "I think that's what got us to this point, trying to be too nice and not express your views because they might be different. I'm going to go home and encourage my daughter that it's not as bad as we felt on Election Day. There's hope. And we're not alone."

Dr. Suzanne Humphries, M.D. – Vaccine Strain of Measles Virus Found in Measles Outbreaks
Dr. Suzanne Humphries is a practicing nephrologist (kidney physician). In this lecture, she addresses a study done in Croatia where a child who was vaccinated with the MMR vaccine was tested positive for the measles vaccine strain Schwarz eight days after vaccination. This was a significant finding, because the child's symptoms were thought to be similar to rubella, and without testing, the sickness would have been possibly mis-diagnosed as rubella, or the wild-type strain of measles the vaccine is designed to protect against. Since this study in 2010, others studies have also confirmed that those vaccinated with the MMR vaccine are susceptible to becoming infected with measles, the vaccine measles virus, and not the wild virus. Are health officials testing cases of measles in the current outbreak in the United States, to determine if the measles strain is the wild strain of the vaccine strain? Not likely, and it is not likely that the mainstream media "TV doctors" will even discuss this as they falsely vilify parents who choose not to administer the MMR vaccine to their children as the cause of these outbreaks. Some of these cases are confirmed to be among those who have received the MMR vaccine, and for those who have not been vaccinated, is it possible they were infected from those recently vaccinated when the vaccine was still "shedding," and that the vaccine-strain of measles was passed on from the vaccinated child to the unvaccinated child?

Zhou Xiaochuan underscores Beijing's ongoing commitment to keeping currency's value steady.
The value of the yuan would remain stable against a basket of currencies, central bank chief Zhou Xiaochuan said on Sunday on the sidelines of the G20 meeting of finance ministers and central bankers in Chengdu.
Speaking to the South China Morning Post, Zhou, the longest-serving central bank chief among those of the Group of 20 nations, said currency stability was the key message on China's yuan policy.
He also underscored Beijing's commitment to "a managed floating exchange rate" system, in an apparent move to defy one-way betting on the yuan's future movement.
Japanese Finance Minister Taro Aso said on Saturday he was closely watching China's economy and the decline in the value of the yuan, Reuters reported. Aso said he agreed with US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew about the need for structural reform in China and transparency on the yuan.
Zhou's comments came before the world's major economic policymakers again pledged to stay away from "competitive currency devaluations" as part of a global coordinated response to weak economic growth and financial market turmoil.
"We are sticking with a managed floating exchange rate system, and that's a policy stance we have been reiterating for years," Zhou said, when asked outside the meetings if the yuan would keep depreciating.
Asked if the value of the yuan would be kept stable against a basket of currencies, Zhou said: "In my view, that's the line for all people to understand [about China's yuan policy]."
The governor the People's Bank of China also attended a Financial Stability Board meeting and held closed-door talks with Lew and Philip Hammond, Britain's new chancellor of the exchequer.
The world's major financial officials met in the Sichuan capital for two days of talks to address weakness in global growth and uncertainties stemming from Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
Zhou did not give any public speeches or hold any press conferences over the two days.
The commitment of the central bank to a stable yuan against a basket of currencies was tested early last week amid an apparent weakening of the yuan against the US dollar and a group of other currencies. But the yuan's exchange rate quickly strengthened on Thursday and Friday.
"The yuan had been kept stable against a basket of currencies for quite a long time, but recently it had weakened, so there might be some early suspicion in the international community," Ding Shuang, chief China economist at Standard Chartered in Hong Kong, said ahead of the talks.
"The central bank prefers stability … It increased intervention in the days before the G20 meeting in Chengdu."
Zhou Hao, an economist at Commerzbank in Singapore, said: "China's central bank won't give up the 6.7 [dollar/yuan exchange rate] level very easily. It would be quite risky if the level was given up easily – if the yuan weakens to 6.8 against the dollar, it would overthrow many previous beliefs."
Zhao Yang, chief China economist at Nomura in Hong Kong, said there would be depreciation pressures on the yuan against the US dollar in the long term. "But it's another matter whether the yuan will depreciate against a basket of currencies – the euro and yen are quite uncertain," Zhao said.
Downward pressure on the yuan would come from China's economic slowdown and capital outflow pressures over the next two or three years, Zhao said.
"The central bank has done a quite good job during the past half year as it has been allowing yuan depreciation in a managed and controllable way," Zhao said.
"There's no panic, and there's an agreed bottom line now that there won't be any one-off yuan revaluation."

Summer Soup
~ From ~Donna in North Carolina
A cool, tasty and colorful vegetable soup for the sultry summer.
3 pds. medium ripe tomatoes
2/3 C. chopped onions (white sweet)
1/3 C. chopped Green Pepper
1/3 C. chopped Yellow Pepper
1/3 C. chopped Red Pepper
1 C. chopped cucumber
1/8 tsp. garlic powder (not salt)
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
3 tsp. fresh lime juice
3 tbls. vinegar (Dark is best)
3 tbls. oil (Peanut or Safflower)
3 to 4 cups of tomato juice
**If the Red and Yellow peppers are not available, just use all Green
Retain juice of chopped tomatoes and 'slowly' mix all ingredients with tomato juice. You don't want to crush the vegetables. This is a crunchy soup. Use tomato juice according to taste. I like a little more if I am using this as a soup. Of course, you would use less tomato juice if used as a pre-dinner salad. The taste is excellent if prepared several hours prior to serving. It should last for a week stored in an air tight container. Keep cold, but serve 'cool'!

2 limes
1 piece (1/2" ginger root, minced)

1 1/2 english cucumber, cut in 1/4" pieces
1 small head of romaine lettuce - shredded
4 C. cooked rice noodles, cut to bite size
1 1/2 tsp. sesame seeds
**Hot pepper flakes to taste
Grind rind of limes. Squeeze juice. In bowl, combine lime juice, rind, ginger, coriander, mint, peanut oil, water, sesame oil and salt. Add meat strips and toss well.

"Everybody counts," explained boxing promoter Don King to an African-American church, stating that"every white woman should cast their vote for Donald Trump." But then King took it to '11' as he raged "the system is corrupt; the system is rigged; the system is sexist; the system is racist," concluding that "we need Donald Trump to create a new system - especially black people."
It appears Donald Trump is making some progres in the massive lead Hillary Clinton has among the African-American community. As The Hill reports, boxing promoter Don King appealed to both black Americans and white women...
"When the system was created ... the white woman did not have the rights, and she still don't have the rights. And people of color don't have their rights. ... Donald Trump says no, we're going back to inclusiveness. Everybody counts. Every white woman should cast their vote for Donald Trump."
King's appeal to female voters comes as Trump seeks to close the gap among this voter bloc, which has largely flocked to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Drupal Commerce 2.0
Last month, Drupal Commerce released version 2.0 of its system. While this may be unexciting to most people, as a developer this removes a large amount of hassle from setting up Drupal commerce sites which is usually a lengthy process.
What is Drupal commerce 2.0?
We at Moore-Wilson use Drupal - having everything bundled together streamlines the process, and gives us direct control over everything rather than having to send API calls, for example, to other 3rd party sites. Drupal commerce allows users to add products to their cart, use a checkout system and has full integration with card payment services such as Paypal and WorldPay.
Drupal Commerce 2.0 is the recently upgraded version of Drupal Commerce, which has some major changes to make commerce sites not only more lightweight, but faster to get started with.
So, what's new?
A large number of things have been changed, so I'll only cover a few:
- Promotions and Coupons are out of beta! They have had a full UI redesign making it easier to set them up and get going. Coupons used to be one of the most time-consuming things to set up and apply rules for, however, the new update makes this process very simple.
- For you backend developers out there, the API has been updated so that new payment methods can be added in hours rather than days. There are also now over 30 different supported payment gateways to show the flexibility of commerce 2.0.
- Finally, Taxes have had a major rework as well. You can now set your own custom tax rates and while I'm not sure on the legality behind this, there is probably a good reason why you can do this now. However more importantly taxes now come with predefined rates for EU, Switzerland and Canada plus many more. This saves a lot of time rather than having to manually set each tax rate every time for products using the old multi-country tax rates.
Why is this important?
Commerce 1.0 was a pain to set up, for example, everything you hoped commerce would do required a contributed module from the Drupal community to achieve your goal. This made the sites very heavy due to the number of modules required for basic things such as setting tax rates. Drupal Commerce 2.0 has removed the hassle and incorporate these features into itself streamlining the process. I used to dread commerce projects, but I am looking forward to them now!

ALWAR: A four-year-old girl in Alwar on Monday was raped and dumped alongside a highway while she was profusely bleeding from her private parts.
The cops nabbed the 20-year-old accused later in the evening as he was trying to flee from the city.
"At 4 pm on Monday, the minor was found alongside a road in Alwar by some persons. She was rushed to a local hospital, the doctors of the hospital informed the police about the suspected case of a rape," the police official said.
Tehala Police station arrived at the hospital and launched a massive manhunt to nab the accused.
At around 5 pm, the police teams managed to establish the identity of the suspect as one Manish Koli. "Based on the circumstantial evidence and intelligence inputs, we nabbed arrested Manish Koli from a nearby house," the police official told TOI.
The primary investigation suggests that Koli was lived next to minor's house and on Monday afternoon he abducted the child from her house when she was alone. Koli took the child to a secluded place away from their area and raped her.
"When the child began to scream in pain, the accused got worried about being exposed. Hence, he left the girl writhing in pain and fled from the spot. He couldn't go to his house and therefore went to another village to evade arrest," the police official said.
The girl was later moved to a special treatment facility in Alwar for treatment after doctors found her condition beginning to deteriorate. Alwar SP Rahul Prakash said that Koli is being interrogated and he is been booked under relevant sections of IPC and Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POCSO). The police said that Koli lived next to the minor's house and was entered the house when the child was alone as her parents were out of house.
The cops nabbed the 20-year-old accused later in the evening as he was trying to flee from the city.

Innovation at Work
In July of this year, business, government and higher education leaders met at Flinders University to discuss 'innovation at work' at the Tonsley Precinct in Adelaide, Australia. The discussions during the Business/Higher Education Roundtable centered on better understanding the impact of technology and digital disruption with a focus on how universities and industry respond and better align to the challenges and opportunities.
The conversation started by identifying digital disruption currently taking place, and investigating how the Tonsley Precinct transformed from an outdated automobile manufacturing site into a thriving innovation environment transitioning to the new economy. The Tonsley precinct is a a great example of how start-ups, academia and industry can innovate together to create economic and societal benefits.
Check out this infographic to learn more about Tonsley and the partnership with Flinders University and Cisco, showcasing collaboration between university and industry in Australian innovation.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

So! I have been encouraged by a close friend to be more positive~ I'm definitely trying. Everything has been going wrong today...forgot flash drive at home..YAY. A bunch of other stupid things happened along the way, but, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna try to think positive thoughts.
Today was the last day of my World Architecture 2 class before the final. Today was the day where EVERYTHING clicked for me. It was just incredible how awesome it was. This class is badass, even though getting to this point was a pain. I feel like I've got a good grasp on Modernism and Post-Modernism...it's pretty interesting.
What else...OH! The pepper I mentioned in the last post...I have to model it on the comp...and then make a physical model! That means I have to go to the laser cutter at school. You have to make appointments if you need to use the laser cutter, and of course...my luck, they only had Sunday morning at 9:30 open for me. It's due the following Monday...so if I do anything wrong...I'm screwed...BUT let's stay positive.

One of the most important parts of what I do is all about building "trusts and relationships." Honestly, this part of the scouting/evaluation business. My relationships go back 30 years. Oh my!!
I am not a football recruiting reporter who makes his money talking with a player about his favorite schools. They ask questions that will feed the appetite of recruiting followers. I guess they also get a recruit's name "out there." A recruiting reporter needs to build a relationship to get the latest news.
My relationships are different. Any player on any high school level who has the potential to play on any college level is important to me. I try to not limit my "building relationships" to Ohio State, Michigan, or any Power Five school. Any high school level to any college level is good..
Recently, I watched a freshman from Toledo St John's HS make plays and shoot threes for the highly rated St John's basketball team. On the varsity level, I might add. Braydon Lichtenberg, not only is the 6th or 7th man for basketball, but he is also the starting quarterback for St John's football team. Remember – a freshman in the 2021 Class !
Guessin 6'1-185, he needs to get stronger, especially in the "core area. " And he will. As he progresses, he should be able to choose his sport on the next level. Braydon has all of the basic tools and mechanics of a quarterback. Makes good decisions with the ball. Understands coverage. Good release. Starting with his feet – good QB mechanics.
Looking forward to chatting with him over the next 3 years. As he gets bigger/stronger more attention will come his way.
But my appreciation for Braydon goes farther. I evaluated his dad, Bubba, back in the day. Remember him playing as a 9th grader at Thomas Worthington HS. A quarterback with the skills and mechanics much the same as Braydon.
Problem – Bubba played for four different high schools in four years. His last year was at Athens High School. The middle two years were out of state. Iowa and Maine I believe. Only really evaluated him his senior year at Athens HS.
Bubba played QB at Ohio University for his Tom Lichtenberg back in the early 90's, I believe. Tom was the head football coach at Ohio University at the time.
Since Tom played high school football back in the late 1950's in Cincinnati , I never was able to evaluate him as a high school quarterback. That was meant to be humor, but I did evaluate his son and grandson.
On a sad note – Tom lost a battle with prostate cancer that had eventually moved to his brain back in 2013. He was 72.
First met Tom when he coached for Earle Bruce at Ohio State University. Working for Coach Bruce was enough to gain my respect for him. You see, Coach Bruce was a disciple of Coach Woody Hayes. Earle Bruce was a good coach, but tough to work for.
Coach Lichtenberg always took his time to talk with you. I was a young high school head football coach and probably was a "pain in the butt," at times, always asking questions. But Tom never talked "down" to high school coaches. And, again, he worked for Coach Bruce.
I remember, I caught him being a "dad" at times, when talking about Bubba. When Bubba's name came up, I had fun messin with him.
As I talked with Bubba a few minutes at the game, I caught him being both a "son" and a "father." His eyes lit up when talking about his dad Tom and, of course, when he talked about his son Braydon.
Building relationships is important in life and really important to me. Whether it be through football recruiting or life in general. I now know three generations of Lichtenbergs. In this case, apples do not fall too far from the tree.

Registrar for prospective remediation means a registrar who has been identified by the RTO as being in need of additional training and support and where suspension of training time may be required
Advisory/consultative services means any discussion with the RACGP's Senior Medical Advisor, Education Progression relating to any concerns that RTOs may have with respect to registrar remediation
3.1 Application process
3.1.1 When a registrar for prospective remediation is identified, as per clause 4.1 of the Registrar Remediation Policy:
184.108.40.206 If the Regional Training Organisation (RTO) wishes to suspend the registrar's training time prior to the approval of remediation, this must be discussed with the SMAEP prior to suspension.
188.8.131.52 The RTO must submit an application for remediation to the RACGP. This application must include:
3.2 Receipt of remediation application
3.2.1 The RTO submits a remediation application to the SMAEP, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm not sure where to post this, but it's worth asking.
Looking back at my desktop backups, I realise that I have a large number of Firefox extensions from the XUL/XPCOM days, going all the way back to Firefox v4. I don't know what license they are under, but my impression is that most are under some kind of open source/reuse-friendly license. Looking at the list on this website, I suspect most are not linked there, meaning that if they're pruned from Mozilla addons, they're basically no longer accessible to PM users.
If I clean, deduplicate, and zip up the extensions I have, can the project make use of them?
If the project can't use them, I'd like to see them find a good long-term home on some easily found FTP/DL server, where anyone who wants can look down the list and cherrypick the files they need, and would like to hear from anyone who can do this.
I can't say what it includes at the moment or how much space it needs - probably not huge - but it's quite a lot, some packed as XPI and some expanded, because it includes extensions I tried from time to time, different versions, etc. It's a complete random grab-bag suited to intense browser use Some I know were withdrawn from AMO and ceased to be available in the past. But it's in no sense a spider or full site download of AOM - it's just those DLs Ive myself used or tested.
On a side-note, if the response is that AMO still hosts them, so they aren't needed, do we actually have access to a backup of pre-Quantum extensions and themes outside AMO (and their docs/details from AMO if licenses allow), in case they're all abruptly purged one day? And is this info visible in the docs/FAQ/browser addons tab?

I am on this new (annoying) internal clock where I seem unable to sleep in anymore. So I woke up this morning at like 8:30, even though I could've slept as LATE AS I WANTED! I am just not a cool college kid.
That being said, it's a lovely sunny day, and I'm looking forward to a gym trip. I also have a LOT of school work to do, but I'm hoping I can get some of it done in a pleasant environment.
It's unlikely that I'll blog breakfast very often, one because I'm usually in a hurry when I'm eating it and two because I usually have oatmeal, and everyone and their mom in the food blogger world has oats for breakfast, often with far more creative combinations than mine.
Today's oatmeal was Quaker quick oats, made with half milk and half water, with 3 chopped dried apricots, microwaved on 80% power for 3 minutes and 45 seconds.
On the side I had Trader Joe's Irish breakfast tea (I like Irish breakfast even better than English breakfast- apparently one is Assam and one is Ceylon—couldn't tell you which was which) with a splash of skim milk. I also had grapes, and a tablespoon of slivered almonds, which I later sprinkled over my oatmeal.

"Be the solution to water pollution," "Cause a commotion to save our ocean," "Keep the trash in politics — not in our oceans," "Think blue and go green" and "Stop pollution quick, don't make the water sick" are a few examples of slogans against water pollution. Slogans like these are used on websites, in social media and on signs at rallies, among other places.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has stated that only 28 percent of streams have healthy biological communities. Likewise, the escalated use of chemicals along the Mississippi River has caused an increase of the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and nutrient fertilizers later found in the Gulf of Mexico.
The World Health Organization reports that more than 90 percent of the surface water in the United States is polluted and a full 98 percent of the sewage in China goes into the country's rivers without being treated. The organization also reports that 80 percent of all travel diseases are caused by travelers drinking contaminated water.
Organizations like "The Water Project" and others are devoted to ensuring that more people have access to clean water. They do this by raising funds to build wells and educating others about safe water initiatives.

It doesn't seem more than a few minutes since we were eating mince pies and singing Auld Lang Syne, but the year is already whizzing past - in particular the countdown to Maker Faire UK 2017, with those interested in participating as a maker left with just this weekend in which to complete and submit their applications for consideration.
Described, entirely fairly, as the greatest show and tell on Earth, Maker Faires are always a blast for exhibitors and attendees alike. Our highlights from last year's Maker Faire UK include hands-on soldering workshops with Mitch Altman, Copenhagen Suborbital's crowdfunded manned space mission, Matthew Little's clever little electronics kits, Newcastle Maker Space's Penguin Race, and the smart Arduino-based Mirobot robot, among other attractions too numerous to name.
As always, Maker Faire UK is asking for applications from those wishing to exhibit at the event - and you don't have to run a company to consider doing so: hackspaces, partnerships, and individual hobbyists are all welcome to head to Newcastle this April and show off what they've been working on, from complex electronic creations to the softer art of knitting.
If you're interested, though, you're going to have to get a move on: the application period closes at 5PM on Monday the 23rd of January, leaving you with just this weekend to polish off your plan and submit your application through the official exhibitors' form.
Maker Faire UK 2017 takes place on the 1st and 2nd of April at the Life Science Centre in Newcastle, with full details available from the website.

Working with the team from Frame was a brilliant event for the Obscura. Frame's abundant knowledge, passion and laid back attitude are wildfire for urban fitness. The launch party for their new King's Cross studios combined all their amazing attributes to create a great night.
The Raw Steel Skin Obscura fitted right in there with their combination of bare breezeblock walls and bright paintwork. A corridor of reception rooms filled with the fitness people who matter of London town meandering around the great food, coconut cocktails and coffee negronis, while perusing Frame's exclusive workout wear, lead to the final room housing the Obscura. As the night wore on, the more props came out. Dumbbells, sunvisors and gold leotards all made an appearance in the guests' photos taken by the Obscura.
Good Times Only! @moveyourframe @thelondonlightbox #FrameKingsX #thelondonlightbox

Halo 4 server connection problems being investigated
It has been suggested that the problems may be linked to the release of new Halo 4 DLC on Monday.
"There are a few hundred players who have been unable to connect to our servers since yesterday," acknowledged a member of the Halo Waypoint forum team. "We're investigating now and hope to have an update soon."
Another moderator said more recently: "The number of players in the fallback hoppers has dropped, however there are still people experiencing problems accessing the main servers. We'll continue to investigate and push out fixes until these issues are resolved."
An entry on the Halo Waypoint Twitter account also says: "We're actively investigating the server issues. Apologies for the inconvenience."
343 has requested that players experiencing connection problems share their Gamertag and location on the Halo Waypoint forums.

Well, that sucks. At least they arn't trying to hide it.
On a Friday? tsk tsk....
When will they be back up?
Hey 343 industries, just remember: ctrl+z... just do it now!!!
Has anyone else's rank reset due to this?
No kidding, Orlando, Florida has been down since around 3 today. This sucks. Also, this seems to be happening more and more frequently lately....
halo better only be a xbox platform game. if you make halo 5 and make it for other platforms its gonna be stupid
Your rank hasn't actually reset. When you're back on the real servers, you will have it back.
Better be up soon bungie never had these problems

i'm sharing my gamertag here because i don't feel like going to the waypoint forums. hehe
i'm sharing my gamertag here because i don't feel like going to the waypoint forums. hehe
Update: I just played a game on the fall back servers, and surprisingly, at the very end, the XP counted toward my real XP total. I think that the not being able to see XP prior to a math is making poor matchups though. I just played 1 on 3 slayer where I was the 1, and I won 32 - 17.
Better be up soon bungie never had these problems
Bungie absolutely had these problems, but just as seldomly as 343 has had them, so you probably just don't remember or never experienced them. Take it from someone who was in college during Halo 3: sometimes 4am on a Tuesday, there was a problem. VERY rarely though.
I'd be glad to post on waypoint but I can't log onto that either
this is pretty cool... since you don't have all your loadouts no player has a boltshot
i'm about to cry... haven't realized how cool halo 4 is until now :'''''''D

Lighting Design for a Sustainable Passive-Solar Home
This award winning home, with interiors designed by White Pebble Interiors, and where Mint Lighting carefully designed the use of lighting to enhance key features, and ensure liveability in every room. All the decorative pendants in the home are within the interior design by White Pebble Interiors, and the architectural and functional lighting was designed by Mint. Our key focus in the design was to minimise energy consumption throughout the home through effective selection of LED luminaires, and by avoiding downlights and recessed lighting to minimise the impact on the building envelope. Our technical team also provided a specialist modification to enable the stunning textured pendant in the main bathroom, selected by White Pebble Interiors, to be hung directly over a bath - safely, and in compliance with AS3000 regulations.
Interior Designer and Home Owner, Frances Cosway contacted Mint Lighting Design for technical and creative architectural lighting design solutions to craft the right light for her new home in Hampton. We worked closely with Frances to enhance the key texture and colour elements of her Interior Design using carefully crafted light to create a home that both showcases her talent as an Interior Designer, and was lit to suit the flexible needs of daily family life. Frances' creativity and detail in pendant selection brings the wow factor to the lighting in the home, supported by discreet lighting that focusses attention on other decorative elements and ensures that the home is comfortable and functional.
Through consultations with Frances and her husband, we clarified the design brief for the lighting and then developed the concept and specification. Sustainability, function and luxury were the key elements for the design.
The most important element for this design was avoiding downlights. Not just for aesthetic reasons, but also to maintain the integrity of their "Passive House" building design, and achieve the best possible energy results.
The blend of Frances exacting Interior Design and MINT's lighting design, resulted in a home that is a delight to live in, and also won the home "Bayside's Best Ecological Sustainable Design in 2015".
• Key Issues/Goals/Problems
Designed with a strong focus on Passive Solar Home Design (utilising the building design to minimise heating and cooling requirements) required making the most of materials to create the right living environment, with minimal footprint. In keeping with this design philosophy, the lighting needed to be carefully considered so as not to impact on the building envelope and reduce the thermal integrity of the home. Where recessed lighting was used, it was to achieve specific lighting effects, and the light fittings were fully sealed to minimise air loss. Wherever possible, lighting was mounted on the walls or ceiling surface. By using LED lighting strategically, we created a brightly lit home, that also enhances the interior design.
The biggest challenge for the lighting design arose when Frances wanted a beautiful, textured pendant over the bath. It is illegal to install 240V lighting suspended from a ceiling over a bath – for obvious safety reasons. However, the team at MINT determined a safe, compliant method for modifying the pendant to be safely installed, allowing Frances to complete the interior design of her bathroom exactly the way she wanted to. The resulting design won White Pebble Interiors a feature in House & Garden's Top 50 rooms for 2015.
This project is a great example of technical ingenuity and understanding of light in collaboration with talented interior design creating a beautiful, homely and ecologically sound home. Which just goes to prove – the right team can build the perfect results in any environment. Add to that the determination to achieve the right design results, and some creative lateral thinking, and anything is possible.
Our Key Design Criteria:
· No downlights
· Minimalist Lighting that doesn't detract from the modern design
· Minimal energy consumption
· Light where it is needed – specific to the application in the room and the design features
· Minimise penetrations in the ceiling and impact on insulation
· Use light to create mood, and define the zones of the open living area
In the end, the home is beautifully designed, with interiors crafted by White Pebble Interiors, enhanced with light from MINT. The MINT lighting design team treats every project as unique, and sources the best lighting for any budget, from a wide range of suppliers, giving us the flexibility to craft the right results every time.

Peter Buck says the new material reminds him of the band's classic album 'Document'...
REM have written some of the best songs of their career for their new album, according to guitarist PETER BUCK.
And the star says the new material is reminiscent of the band's classic 1987 album 'Document'.
Buck told MTV: "If we quit today, we'd have half of the greatest record we've ever made. Nine of the songs are as good as anything we've ever written."
He added: "It reminds me of 'Document' if it were more acoustic and crazier. There are already seven songs we've done that have to be on there."
Among the tracks expected to make the cut is the band's reaction to the war in Iraq, 'The Final Straw', a live version of which the band made available as a free download on their official website [url=]remhq.com.
The band's still-untitled follow-up to 2001's 'Reveal', which will be their third as a trio since the departure of founding member Bill Berry in 1997, is due next year. Buck revealed REM
have recorded 35 tracks, with a few weeks of recording left before they begin a summer world tour. Buck, bassist Mike Mills and singer Michael Stipe have been joined in the studio by Ministry drummer Bill Rieflin and Young Fresh Fellows leader and regular collaborator Scott McCaughey.
Before the release of the new LP, REM will release a 'Best Of' compilation spanning their 15 years and seven albums at Warner Bros.. The collection, due on September 30, will contain at least two previously unreleased tracks, including fan favourite 'Bad Day', recorded in 1986.
REM begin a European tour on June 27 with a headline appearance at Glastonbury, where they played a triumphant show in 1999.

The multi-million-pound transformation of Altrincham Town Centre by Trafford Council and its partners has been hailed a huge success. The LK Group is proud to be the project management team behind this transformation.
New figures show footfall has risen by almost a quarter on 2010 figures since the local authority's transformation project began with public and private investment, while shop vacancies are down by almost three-quarters.
In the past year alone, footfall in Altrincham Town Centre has risen to 1.74m – a more than 5% increase year-on-year since 2016.
The figures stand in sharp contrast to the most recent statistics from Ipsos' Retail Performance Index which show UK footfall dipping 5.5% on average since 2016.
Altrincham had the worst shop vacancy rate in the UK in 2010 when over 30% of the shops lay empty and the Sun labelled it a "ghost town". Shop vacancies fell by almost three-quarters to just 7.9% in December 2017 and are now a third less than the national average of 12.2% in 2017.
The very strong figures illustrate the transformation of Altrincham with the recent completion of phase two of the project, which has been funded by Trafford Council, Transport for Greater Manchester and Section 106 grant funding.
The Public Realm project in Altrincham is aimed at revitalising and rejuvenating the town by breathing life back into the Town Centre and making it a better place to live, visit, shop, enjoy and invest. The first two phases of improvements have cost c£3m.
The transformation of Altrincham Town Centre has ushered in a number of high-profile retail and leisure openings, including national chains such as JD Sports, Paperchase and Bistrot Pierre, along with high quality independent retailers and food and drink outlets opening such as Con Club and Rankin Styles.
The success of the market area has acted as a catalyst to further regeneration in the town and is being replicated elsewhere.
Leader of Trafford Council, Cllr Sean Anstee, said: "We're proud to see Altrincham bucking the national trend and becoming one of the best places in the country to live, work and enjoy your leisure time.
"This was our clear vision when we set out several years ago to use public and private investment to transform it from a ghost town to a hugely successful vibrant one."
Theresa Grant, Trafford Council Chief Executive, said: "As a council we remain committed to the sustainability and transformation of our town centres and we are focussed on ensuring they continue to provide that exciting mix of high quality leisure, retail and living spaces for locals and visitors alike.
"Altrincham now has a modern transport interchange making it easier and convenient for workers, residents and visitors to travel into the Town Centre. Once there they can choose from a fantastic variety of shops and leisure outlets, including the town's historic Market Hall, transformed thanks to significant council investment."
Conor Leyden, managing director of The LK Group, the project management team behind the public realm transformation, said: "We're aware of 26 new restaurants and bars that have opened since the project began – it's really an exciting time to be in Altrincham."
"Anecdotally we know local shop owners, residents and visitors to Altrincham are reporting a much-improved experience in the Town Centre, and the proof is now there for all to see – by investing in the public realm, Trafford Council is attracting more visitors and more investment in the town."
The Altrincham public realm works comprised redesigning the streets, footpaths and street furniture around the town and providing a high quality, low maintenance asset for the town, its residents and businesses.
Works on phase one of the project, which included improving Goose Green (a conservation area), Shaws Road (near the market) and Cross Street were completed in early 2016.
These works were followed by phase 2a which included improvements to the section of Stamford New Road, between Moss Lane and Regent Road.
As part of phase 2a, new street furniture, new high-quality footpaths, new drainage, road construction, additional trees, parking & loading bays and a number of crossing points designed to improve pedestrian movement around the retail area have been completed.
So far c£3million has been spent on phase 1 and phase 2a; with a further c£3million to be utilised in the next phases across the Town Centre.
Proposed works also include a parking and wayfinding strategy to encourage movement around the town.
