Demonetzation: Will it decide India's fate?
Dear Readers,
This is our first independent post. Almost a month has passed and still the whole concept of demonetization is not clear. Supporters of the same are pushing hard to make it a success and opponents are cursing government for this action.
A few scholars had presented their independent views that we support and could be understood in normal parlance:
1. The move is definitely good but is it for curbing the black money in circulation or the cash money that holds back the economy in general? Don't forget the crisis of 2007-08 when the entire world was bleeding through recession and we somehow managed to sustain.
2. The implementation that we have seen so far by the GOI is very poor. There is lack of infrastructure, sufficient new currency, unclear guidelines for banking and most importantly poor administration and accountability.
3. As stated by Dr. Singh, this move, if not properly managed, will lead to deteriorate the image of the central bank, globally.
4. A few school of thoughts also believed that black money was never present in the form of currency but was parked in other precious assets such as gold, diamonds and land (also). To some extent we also believe in the same. As per an international study, Indians have bought enormous quantities of gold in the past two decades, of which major portion was bullion and not jewelry.
5. There is another point which needs attention. As per the RBI, there was Rs. 14.18 lakh crore in circulation in the form of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes when its demonetization was announced on November 8th. By 5th of December, it was expected that Rs. 11 lakh crore has already been deposited in the system. With little less than a month left for closure, this raises question whether the whole exercise was needed at all in the first place. PLEASE NOTE: there are two situations here:
a. If there will be more deposits then expected, does it indicate that there was no black money at all ?
b. If there will be more deposits then expected by the central bank (say the total money deposited in the form of banned notes reaches to Rs. 15 lakh crores), who will bear the liability (of Rs. 1 lakh crores apprx).
Its too early to say for its success but we all wish that our country to become a super power on the world map. And all we expect that this shouldn't turn out to be a mere political gimmick.
Cheers !!

All Saints Sunday has long been one of my favorite days in the church calendar, a time to celebrate those who have come before us, living lives of unwavering faith. While those vested with an official mark of sainthood are figures who have endured great challenge and often persecution, All Saints is also an opportunity to acknowledge our own saints–the seemingly ordinary people who, to us, are extraordinary. For my church's celebration of All Saints on Sunday, the kids created a table cloth for the altar decorated with colorful handprints and the names of the saints in their lives. It was wonderful to see the historical figures the kids named but what I loved even more was to see the names of so many moms and dads.
Anyone who has engaged in the joyful but tiring work of caring for small children will no doubt appreciate hearing that kids may actually see their parents and caregivers on par with the saints. Beyond the obvious and visible aspects of parenting, tremendous amounts of thought and emotion go into raising children. It seems so ordinary because it is largely unseen, and yet it is extraordinary work. For people of faith, this extraordinary work includes nurturing kids to understand, appreciate, and hopefully share the same beliefs and traditions as their parents. We bring our kids to church and Sunday school, read stories and pray at home, and model care and compassion for others.
But what does this look like for clergy families who live at the intersections of work, family, and faith? How does a young child understand all that is religious belief and practice when it is so tied up in their mom or dad's job? While I didn't interview pastors' kids for my research, I heard a great deal on the particular dynamics of raising kids in a clergy family. And like so many aspects of clergy family life, I discovered that parenting in ministry lands somewhere at the intersection of uniquely life-giving and unexpectedly challenging. As Eva (not her real name), a mainline pastor told me,
I think as careers go, if I think about it, I think it's better than many to be a parent and be a pastor. But it is complicated.
Hope, an evangelical clergy spouse, offered more on the complex tensions of raising clergy kids:
I guess just knowing how to do things in ministry as a family is a challenge because you want your kids to see ministry, but you don't want them to…and participate in ministry, but you don't want them to get resentful that, "Oh we've got to go there again." or "We've got to do this again." So I think the challenge is trying to find a healthy way that the kids can participate and be who they are and yet not let them feel like they're being imposed upon all the time.
How does one find the middle ground in all of this? It is one of the most common questions people ask when I talk about my research. The next several posts on this blog will address issues around parenting in a clergy family. I discovered so many examples of parents capitalizing on the hidden benefits of being a clergy family, but I also heard stories of lament. Looking at these diverse experiences together is indicative of the messiness in an integrated life. Continue reading to hear more on how clergy families do the extraordinary.

Posted By: JimPHmmm... i always think of dungeon and city templates in feet, and overland in miles. I keep forgetting its in map units.That's usually the best way to think about them. Map units crops up often enough that you need to understand the concept, but for everyday mapping, just stick to the normal units.

Cornelius Platter Diary Entry
(Union Soldier)
Did not move to day [today]. Last night was cold and windy and it has been quite cool all day. Heavy cannonading all day but no musketry Lt [Lieutenant] Johnson & I rode to "the front" this afternoon. Saw the Rebel batteries with their flags floating in the "breeze" We keep up a thin line of pickets and in some places it is not necessary to have any at all for it is Just impossible to cross on account of the extreme swamp between us – The enemy are very strongly fortified and it may take us sometime to dislodge them. Gen [General] Osterhaus was shelled out of his Hd [Head] Quarters today – Genl [General] Kilpatricks cavalry goes to the coast to open communication — Capt[Captain] Lockwood detailed as "Div [Division] Off of the Day" We have [unclear: 20] men on the "Picket line".

MARTINSBURG, W.Va. - At its best, the Hedgesville offense can resemble a layup line.
Wednesday, the Eagles must have been at their best, because the baskets were coming that easy.
Led by guards Duane Fleetwood and Jordan Reed, Hedgesville ran right past Jefferson 64-45 in the first round of the West Virginia Class AAA Region II Section 2 boys basketball playoffs. The Eagles (20-2) shot 61 percent from the floor, including 23 makes from in close.
"Tonight reminded myself of what I think people think of when they think about Hedgesville basketball," said coach Kelly Church, whose team will play Martinsburg at 7 p.m. Friday at Jefferson. "We did a much, much better job sharing the ball and letting the plays make themselves instead of ourselves trying to make plays."
Fleetwood, Reed and J.R. Mayles routinely worked free on cuts and found themselves alone under the basket against Jefferson's man-to-man defense. Reed led the way with 19 points, while Fleetwood added 16 and Mayles 14.

What Anxiety and Depression Really Feel like
I have been a bit M.I.A. for the past week because of some things going on in my life right now. I wanted to post about it but it never felt like it was the appropriate time. Well… now as I lay in my bed feeling defeated and anguished I couldn't think of a better time to tell you guys how I really feel.
For those of you with anxiety/depression I hope you can relate. For those of you who do not suffer with either, I really really hope you read this with an open heart and an open mind in efforts that I may change your opinion about this topic.

One of the amazing things in Melbourne is that they have a vibrant vietnamese community and they have great food too. One of my favourite Vietnamese food would be the Bahn Mi (Pork Roll). The Bahn Mi is usually more airy than the french baguette, with a thinner crust. I was first introduced to Nhu Lan by one of my friendly Vietnamese customer that bought me one to try. So simple yet so tasty. They have many chains in Melbourne.
One morning I decided to drive down to Footscray to hunt for Nhu Lan. Just had the sudden cravings for Bahn Mi and decided just to satisfy it. I finally found them located along the main road of Hopkins Street and the shop was thronged with people getting their fresh bread rolls and pastries. They had so many staff serving and they were so quick and prompt.
I ordered the Bahn Mi from the lady that prepared my portion with great care and precision. She immediately sliced the bread roll into two, applied butter and pate on the inside. The next step consisted of adding layers of cucumber, pickled carrots, onions, cilantro, different types of ham and meat slices all encased in a crusty bread roll.
They had a secret marinade which they added on top of the meat which makes it even more irresistible and delectable. I asked for the option of having heaps of freshly cut chillis for that added punch. It cost around $5 for the Bahn Mi and that can be my breakfast or lunch easily. They have other types of fillings available, such as grilled chicken, vegetarian and meat balls and many other tasty alternatives.
I love the bite when i sink my teeth into the crusty bread roll. Freshly baked and crusty, this bread is definitely the key ingredient for Bahn Mi. Every key ingredients has to be prepared in the right way, to ensure the right combination of flavours. Now, I know why this Bahn Mi is so famed in Melbourne, shops popping up everywhere. I feel so hungry while writing this review again….i want to check out other bahn mi here too.

text: During the last ten years the market for smartphones has grown drastically. Because of the current state of the market with different operating systems many smartphone applications need to be developed for several platforms. With this thesis, the goal was ultimately to contribute to the understanding of cross-platform development as a way of developing smartphone applications. React Native has been evaluated as a framework with which development is done for both Android and iOS using the same code. To study React Native as a framework, a smartphone application for Android and iOS was developed at an Uppsala based IT-company with expertise in web services, smartphone applications, and online gaming. Furthermore, performance tests and user tests were conducted in which React Native was compared to native applications and applications developed using Xamarin (similar cross-platform development framework owned by Microsoft). It was evident that using the same code for both Android and iOS was time saving. However, the performance tests results showed that applications developed with React Native did not perform as well as the native and Xamarin versions. Leading to the conclusion that choice of framework when developing cross-platform applications need to take into consideration performance, development time, and programming language preference.

I was diagnosed with Scoliosis when I was 15.
Young and carefree I never followed up with it as I got Older and had baby after baby.
So today after a LOT of nagging and pleading from family members and because lately the pain is too much most days, I am sitting in an orthopedics office with pics of bone replacements on the wall, pondering what they will do with my crooked spine.
In all honesty I am sure they will say something like, your going to have to deal with this the best you know how (which is what I am doing) and since I am anti-pill the pain will have to be something that I manage.
I just had my "pictures" made and according to the sweet radiology tech I "definitely have some curvature.

While the pear is far less widely planted than the apple tree, these trees have been cultivated in the United States since 1630 and grow quite well in the Virginia weather. Most of the common pear varieties will receive sufficient chill hours to produce good fruit and will not sustain frost damage due to winter colds. Virginia gardeners can plant either Asian or European pears. Recommended cultivars include Bartlett, D'Anjou, Comice and Bosc.
Soak a bare-root pear tree in water for at least 30 minutes prior to planting. If you're planting a container pear tree, skip this step.
Dig a hole for your pear tree that is just as deep as the tree's root ball and twice as wide as the root ball. Remove any sticks, stones or weeds from the site. At the bottom of the hole, jab your shovel into the dirt to roughen up the soil. This helps the pear tree's roots grasp the soil.
Remove a container pear tree from its container by grasping the trunk and pulling up. Its roots will be all wound and tangled. Gently unwind and untangle the roots with your fingers. Planting a pear tree with roots that are tangled may lead the tree to choke later.
Set a bare-root or container pear tree in the hole so it's at the same depth as it was planted before, or so the highest-up roots rest 4 inches below the top of the soil. Check to ensure the pear is straight. Cover up the hole with soil, but do not compress the soil.
Water the newly planted pear until the soil compresses around the roots. Use at least 2 gallons per tree.
Things You Will Need
- Shovel
- Pear sapling
- Water
- The Virginia Cooperative Extension recommends planting pear trees as early as the ground can be worked. Dormant or bare-root trees can be purchased and planted in the late fall or winter, while container trees should be planted in March or April. Trees planted in May or June will have a difficult time adapting, since the weather is hotter.

To the people of Kittery:
June 26 — To the Editor:
To the people of Kittery:
Congratulations to all — regardless of political persuasion — who voted in the recent primary! You exercised a unique privilege that we enjoy as U.S. citizens and you fulfilled a civic responsibility. I encourage everyone to follow and participate in the general campaign and to vote in November. It's the American way.
My special thanks to the more than 400 people who voted for me for state representative on the Republican ballot, even though I was unopposed.
I hope to meet many of you on the campaign trail and hear your ideas. If elected to serve, I will listen, be forthright, and exercise restraint and common sense. Guided by the constitutions of the United States and Maine, my focus will be on fiscal sanity and solvency, responsible management of Maine's physical infrastructure (including the Memorial Bridge) and proper use and stewardship of our wonderful natural assets. I will work toward the minimum state government that can effectively fulfill its constitutional responsibilities.
Free, independent and resourceful citizens are Maine's great strength. To promote self-reliance and productivity, encourage business, and bring rewarding employment, I will work toward responsible education, regulatory and tax policies. For the truly needy, I advocate programs to help and encourage them to become as independent and self-reliant as possible.
Please consider my candidacy and please vote in November.
John Carson
Kittery Point, Maine

Library Services for Students and Faculty
Reference Services
The James E. Tobin Library supports the goals of students and faculty by providing an environment conducive to academic learning. Reference services are available from librarians via chat, text, email and in person. For more information visit the Ask a Librarian page.
The JET Library is open 84 hours per week, with extended hours offered during finals. Reference librarians and virtual Chat services are available during these hours for research assistance to anyone on or off campus. On the main campus a minimum of two degreed librarians are always available to provide individualized assistance to students and faculty. There are a total of twenty full time and adjunct librarians utilized in order to support three shifts across multiple service points.
Outside of the JET Library, reference services during fall and spring semesters are available four days per week in the Information Commons; two evenings per week at the Suffolk Extension Center located in Farmingdale, NY and in the recently built Barbara Hagan Center for Nursing, an embedded Health Sciences Librarian is on site six hours per week.
Instructional Services
Customized instruction sessions are designed to serve the needs of any given class. Over 200 instruction classes are taught each year by librarians; some designed to target the FST initiative while others are specific to assignments, level of student (e.g., undergraduate, graduate, PhD) or a particular discipline. Classes can be conducted in our instruction rooms, in a professor's classroom or virtually through Canvas.
A professor can request an instruction session via the Library Class Session Request form.
Library Credit Courses: The library offers two courses: LIB101: Information Literacy and LIB103: Information Literacy for Social Work students. Both versions are one-credit, hybrid courses. In these courses, students learn how to navigate 21st century information sources, understand the different types of sources appropriate for a given assignment, improve search strategies, navigate through an array of resources (including the internet and library databases), evaluate material to determine credibility, organize research effectively and use sources in an ethical manner. Through lectures and hands-on lab experiences, students learn the critical thinking skills necessary to succeed in college and their professional life. LIB103 is a requirement for all Social Work majors and is not open to other majors; LIB101 is a requirement for all English majors and is open to any major.
One-on-One appointments: Students and faculty can sit down with a librarian for a half hour to an hour for individualized appointments. Appointments are conducted in the JET library, the Suffolk Center or virtually. Student appointments can focus on difficult research assignments, learning a new resource, or exploring library services. Students can request sessions via the One-on-One Library Student form. Faculty appointments can focus on compiling reading lists, supporting faculty research, or learning new resources. Faculty can request sessions via the One-on-One Library Faculty form. Last year, the library conducted 100 personalized one-on-one appointments.

Everyone has silly-and some not so silly-family traditions.
Am I right?
My family can be neatly described as quite dull, and even we have interesting things that we do. Traditions.
Some go back as far as I can remember, and some are new.
Allow me to elaborate. Because I just know you're all dying to hear about it. :)
Let's start with something simple. My mother can draw out the act of making sugar cookies to an all-day event. And not necessarily in a good way. Making a cake from a box is also an endeavor not to be undertaken lightly. And trust me, we sifted the flour in. Twice.
When making said cakes, my mother always used a plastic spatula to mix with. Always, always, always. The plastic spatula was the only instrument for mixing that I knew. Literally. Nothing else existed.
Until I started making cookies and cakes and cupcakes and such with my friends.
I distinctly remember two of my very best friends making fun of me mercilessly because I wanted to use the spatula to mix with.
Because for something like fifteen years, the spatula had been working just fine for me.
But NOOOoooo...they said a fork worked better. That a spatula wasn't effective. At all.
It was quite a blow to me to see that a fork is a very efficient tool for mixing. All those years my mother had been wrong. She'd been lying to me! But wait, the spatula does work, but a fork works better.
That's what traditions can do. They can twist things around until no one really knows why we're performing them, but we do it anyway because "that's the way it's always been done."
I know I got off of the #BeMeanToCharacters thing a few months ago, but this is another way in which you can twist your character's world. Make something that they think is right-has always been and will always be-wrong. Or just a little bit off.
Trust me, it's annoying. Really annoying. Heck, it could have ruined some very precious friendships if I didn't have the personality I do. I could have been offended and never talked to these girls again. But, luckily, I hold my relationships close to my heart, and I do everything in my power not to allow the little things to get in between us.

It starts with an indistinctive wobble in your ride which grows more prominent as the wheels turn or a slight hiss which many times go amiss. There are subtle signs to indicate that you're losing air fast, which means you're taking on discouragement faster. There's nothing more disheartening than to learn you've popped your tire with still miles to go before you reach your destination or the end of your path. Sure, there are ways to fix the problem, but there are also ways of preventing bike flat tires from happening. Like the famous saying goes 'prevention is better than cure' and in the case of bike flat tires, prevention starts long before you begin your ride. By engaging the correct precautions, you could be looking at avoiding getting into meddling with a flat tire repair system altogether. Hereon, we're going to be discussing ways to prevent you from facing such a situation, not teaching you how to change a bike tire.

Reasons for Bike Flat Tires
Before diving into preventive measures, or learning about flat tire repair understand what's the reason behind the occurrence of bike flat tires. These can be simply narrowed down:
- Rim imperfection
- A hard impact causing Snake bites. No, we aren't talking about the actual bite of a snake. A snake bite, in cycling, refers to the tube being pinched between the rim and the tire or an object. They are also known as pinch flats occurring normally with two holes in the tube, on top of one another.
- Debris commonly found along pathways such as thorns, sharply edged stones or pebbles, sharp objects, glass etc.

Types of Flats in Bike
In order to be able to fix something, you need to know what exactly you're dealing with. Learning about the different types of bike flat tires will help you to go about not only fixing it but also knowing how to avoid it. A flat tire put very simply is an opening or tear or a hole in the tube that lets the air out, and not necessarily anything has gone wrong with the tire per se. Like road bike tires will be very different than mountain bike tires. Bike flat tires can be broadly classified as follows:
Slow Leaks
These allow you to carry on riding the bike for a while, but you'll mostly be pumping up the tire more often than necessary. They usually go about an hour before fully going kaput, and for a flat tire repair generally, require a replacement of the tube since finding a hole that small is impossible.
It's quite normal that a tire will lose its air pressure over a time period of a few weeks which is why you should test your pressure once every week at least. If you leave your bike unridden for a few months only to return to find soft or flat tires, it wouldn't necessarily mean that something is the matter with them and that you need to know how to change a bike tire, all they might need is some pumping up. However, if you are going to be leaving your bike unridden for that long, its best to hang the bike up instead of letting it rest on flat tires for that long. If they sit for that long on flat tires, chances are they will hold the flat shape, making it difficult for them to sit evenly on the rims.
These are caused generally the cause of running over sharp or protruding things which insert through the tire and into the tube causing a hole. Objects such as thorns, sharp bits of wire, glass slivers, nails, or any other small sharp objects are the ones to blame.
A standard puncture is a small hole in the tire, which doesn't make any difference. For the inner tube, mostly patching does the trick sometimes even replacing the tube is the best depending on the enormity of the puncture. You should always keep a tire patch kit at hand, and know the basics of patching to get you through a sticky situation. All said and done, don't forget to remove the object from the tire that caused it all.
Read about - Repairing and Preventing Punctures
Pinch Cuts or Snake bites
These are caused due to hitting curbs, stones or sharp edges of holes that are on the surface of the road. What happens is that at the time the tire hits a sharp edge with a hard impact, it compresses, such that it bottoms out, pinching the tube between the rock or tire and the rim. Its appearance of two holes one above the other lead to it being termed as a snake bite.
Livingit Tip-
Pinch cuts only harm the tube and not the tire. In some cases, though the tire too could be damaged. The impact could also lead to blip or a dent in your rim.
These are sudden losses of air, and as can be understood from the name are usually accompanied by a loud noise or a Bang! Basically, if the tire is unable to hold the tube all around, then it leads to the tube popping. So if you're pumping the inner tube outside of a tire, it will expand like a balloon to a point and then burst. It can only bear a certain amount of pressure by itself beyond which it needs to be surrounded by the tire to keep it in place.
Bike Flat Tires Resistant Equipment
As a cyclist you're bound to ride over or through patches of obtrusive objects like debris or glass or hit a bump which could lead to a puncture, and it's always advisable to have a tire patch kit handy, but there are a few equipment choices that can spare you the trouble of reaching for your tire repair kit:
Talcum Powder
Might sound a bit ridiculous but lavishly lathering on some of this soft textured powder over the inner tube before installing it, could be a life-saver. How it works is that the powder prevents the tube and tire from sticking to one another, thereby reducing friction that can wear out a hole in the tube.
Tube Sealants
This slimy semi-solid is an extremely handy option as a repair tool for flats and also as a preventive tool to avoid future flat tires. Its usage is simple enough, just squeeze a small amount of the sealant through the valve system, enough to coat the inner part of the tube. In the scenario of a puncture, the sealant will quickly fill up the hole or the tear or the leak and acts as a plug to last a while. A slight bit of disadvantage is the messiness that comes with it during installing. But, do not depend upon a sealant to save you in the case of cuts or large gashes.
Tire Liners
Bike tire liners (or flat stop liners) are extruded plastic strips that fit in between the tube and the tire acting as an extra layer. Due to this extra layer, chances of being affected by thorns and glass and other sharp objects reduces. While a popular option, note that they do add around 6 oz. of weight to your tires, which is a noticeable factor to your rolling resistance especially in the case of higher performance tires. Despite that, if you're in areas where you'll be facing debris on a common basis, tire liners could be worth their weight!
Tire Wipers
Having lost in the popularity battle, these could be slightly hard to track down but are still a good preventive measure against flat tires. How it works is that these tire wipers are attached to the brakes or the fenders of the bike and bear a rubber-coated metal bar that brushes off the tires as they rotate lightly wiping away the debris before it has the chance of causing any damage. A bit of serious internet searching could help you lay your hands on some good tire wipers if you're seriously looking to prevent flat tires.
Tubeless Tires
While a slightly more expensive option, it's quite a popular one with most bikes already boasting of tubeless tires in today's day and age – typical of flat resistant road bike tires. Going in for a tubeless conversion kit or heading for UST tires (Universal System Tubeless) is a good way of bringing down the number of punctures and leaks in your tires, all the while also improving your bike's overall control. There are various varieties of puncture resistant mountain bike tires or puncture resistant bike tubes or flat proof bike tires to choose from. No tubes mean no pinch flats. Also, you'll need lesser of air pressure to inflate the tires, also providing a higher level of shock absorption over rough terrains.
Checklist Before You Go on a Ride
There are also a few pointers that you can pay attention to before you head off on your bike, which could lower the chances of you picking up a bike flat tire:
- Check your tire pressure. An underinflated tire will be more susceptible to being a victim of pinch flats. The pressure will vary for each type – like road bike tires and mountain bike tires.
- Don't overinflate. While you might be tempted to pump in the extra air as an overcorrection to an underinflated tire, it could be dangerous in the long run. Overinflated tires while undoubtedly make easier riding are super susceptible to popping.
- Don't use old tires. The outer rubber might still seem strong and sturdy but the inner part of the tire which touches the tube could be worn out and fray which isn't enough of a barrier between the tube and faulty debris.
- Check the condition of your rims. The tape should not be bunched, instead, it should lie smooth and flat over the wheel and should cover each spoke hole on the rim surface. There shouldn't be any sharp edges where the tire is held, especially near the valve hole.
- Using a wider tire especially if you're riding over rough terrains since the higher volume of the air will act as a resistance against pinch flats or impact punctures which are a common occurrence on rough surfaces.
- Choosing the right inner tube to match the width of the tire. Using a 23mm width inner tube with a 25mm width tire means the rubber of tube will get spread out thinly increasing the chances of a flat tire.
- Look where you're going. While most of the pathways are clear of debris otherwise cyclists tend to ride closer to the shoulder which is where most of the obtrusive objects tend to pile up. Steer clear of patches which could damage your tire in any way. If there's no other way around it but to ride through it, make sure to check your tires afterward.
Staying Inflated
No matter what the measures or tips and tricks be, running a bike flat tire is all a part of cycling. All that one can do is keep a lookout and opt for proper tire care to reduce the possibilities since the elimination of the situation is impossible. No air bike tires certainly have arisen as a prominent solution to man's bike flat tires problem. Preventive measures are and should be taken as an integral part of maintaining your bike equipment so that your single tube lasts long enough for the miles to come

Here's a handy script that makes it simple to find user accounts with nonexpiring passwords.
User accounts set to never expire are sometimes used for permanent employees of a company, while temporary employees are assigned accounts that expire after a specified period of time. Ever wish you could quickly and simply find out which user accounts have their passwords set to never expire, along with the dates the flags were set? Here is a sample script that accomplishes this and more.
This script prompts for the desired domain, checks all user accounts in the domain to see if their passwords are set to never expire, and reports the date the flags were set. It then writes the output to a CSV file called PWDNeverExpired.csv, creating this file in the same directory where the script itself is located. If the password is not set to expire, the script instead records a No and the date the password will expire.
To use the script, type it into Notepad (with Word Wrap turned off) and save it with a .vbs extension as PWDNeverExpired.vbs:
' Set WshShell Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") strVer = "Ver 1.0 " Set FileSystem = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set oFile = FileSystem.CreateTextFile("PWDNeverExpired.csv", true) ' Pull Environment variables for domain/user strDomain = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERDOMAIN%") strUserName = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%") strOS = WshShell.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%OS%") strMessage = strMessage & "Hit Cancel or enter a blank to quit" strTitle = "Domain to Search" 'get resource domain name, domain default UserDomain = InputBox(strMessage, strTitle, strDomain) strMessage = "" strTitle = "" 'strMessage = "Please enter the USER Login ID" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _ '"Default is: " & strUserName & vbCrLf & vbCrLf 'strMessage = strMessage & "Hit Cancel or enter a blank to quit" 'strTitle = "USER Login ID" 'get resource domain name, domain default via input box 'objUserName = InputBox(strMessage, strTitle, strUserName) ' Display Just a minute! strMessage = "This may take a few seconds. . ." WshShell.Popup strMessage,2,"One moment please. . . " strMessage = "" Set ObjDomain = GetObject("WinNT://" & UserDomain) ObjDomain.Filter = Array("User") For Each ObjUser In ObjDomain 'Attempt to bind to the user 'Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://"& UserDomain &"/"& objUser.Name, user) Set UserName = GetObject("WinNT://" & UserDomain & "/" & ObjUser.Name & _ ",User") ' Is password set to NEVER expire? objPwdExpires = UserName.Get("UserFlags") If (objPwdExpires And &H10000) <> 0 Then objPwdExpiresTrue = "Yes" strPwdExpires = "Date Set: " msgPwdExpires = "Password Set to Never Expire: " Else objPwdExpiresTrue = "No" strPwdExpires = "Password Expires: " msgPwdExpires = "Password Set to Never Expire: " End If oFile.WriteLine (UserName.fullname & "," & UserName.name & "," & _ msgPwdExpires & objPwdExpiresTrue & "," & strPwdExpires & _ objUser.PasswordExpirationDate) 'Wscript.Echo "Full Name: " & UserName.fullname & vbCrlf &_ '"Account Name: " & UserName.name & vbCrlf &_ 'msgPwdExpires & objPwdExpiresTrue & vbCrlf &_ 'strPwdExpires & objUser.PasswordExpirationDate & vbCrlf Set UserName = Nothing Next Wscript.Echo "Done Cheking Accounts"
To run this hack, simply create a shortcut to the script and double-click on the shortcut. Figure 3-4 shows a sample CSV output file for the script, viewed in Excel.

If you are injured in a private plane crash, or someone you love has been injured or killed, you have the right to speak with a private plane crash lawyer to determine if you should be compensated. Victims of airplane crashes can suffer devastating injuries and should be compensated for their pain and suffering.

This royal is making history for a great cause. Prince William will appear on the cover of LGBT magazine Attitude and is speaking out against homophobic bullying and encouraging young gay, lesbian, and transgender individuals to be proud of who they are.
William, his wife Princess Kate, and his brother Prince Harry have been wonderfully active and outspoken when it comes to matters that impact the mental health of children and young adults, so this cover shot and Will's concern should come as no surprise to loyal royal fans.

More from CafeMom: 12 Pics That Show How Close Prince William & Prince Harry Are With Their Dad
In an interview with People, Attitude editor Matthew Todd spoke of William's ability to put everyone at ease. He noted that the prince was truly listening and concerned as the people he met with spoke of the dire consequences of bullying, which often include drug addiction and suicide. He said Will was "absolutely passionate, compassionate, and relaxed."
In the wake of the Orlando massacre, in which 49 people were murdered inside a gay nightclub, William and Kate visited the US Embassy in London and signed a book of condolence.
Both princes William and Harry have said they'd like to make their late mom, Diana, proud. Clearly, "the People's Princess" would have loved seeing her sons rally to help those in need.

It's always wonderful to see Will, Kate, and Harry volunteer their time and lend their support to worthwhile causes, but we'd have to imagine that, as parents, the prince and princess feel the call to help even more acutely.
Hopefully, those who need it most will heed Prince William's words to stand up to bullying and love themselves exactly as they are.

Sharjah: Hundreds of skyscrapers across the UAE are wrapped in dangerous non fire-rated aluminium cladding panels that may put lives in danger in the event of a fire, Gulf News has learnt.
A top executive with the cladding panel industry said non fire-rated panel cores are made of low density polyethylene, a petrochemical product that burns within minutes compared to certified fire-retardant panels that repel fire.
The conversation with the industry executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity, came on the heels of a third major tower fire in the last six months in Sharjah that rendered hundreds of families homeless on April 28.
"At least 500 towers in the country have non fire-rated panels installed over the last 25 years," he said. "The cost of removing a non-fire panel is not small, it's about Dh100 a square metre. A 40-storey building could cost Dh500,000 [to replace bad tiles with proper fire-retardant panels]."
Need for legislation
Without any legislation in place to force mandatory installation of fire-retardant materials, he warned that 100 high-rises now under construction in the UAE may also be enclosed with gleaming composite panels that do not meet international fire-safety codes.
"This has become a national problem," the senior executive said. "This has to be looked into very seriously by the authorities. The right legislation needs to be passed. Non fire-rated panels should be banned when they are used over 10 stories. Non fire-rated panels will burn like paper."
A Sharjah Municipality official said there is no ban on the use of non fire-retardant panels on high-rises. "We are responsible only for the design of the building and not the materials used," the official said. "Contractors must provide [fire-retardant] certificates for each material used in construction for it to be approved by Civil Defence."
Napoleon Soldevilla, a senior fire protection engineer at design firm Burthill said: "People are accustomed to using non fire-retardant materials. Moreover, fire-resistant materials are more expensive."

SAN DIEGO — Through six decades, whether it was broadcasting one of John Wooden's basketball championships with UCLA, a no-hitter by Nolan Ryan or a dramatic point at Wimbledon, Dick Enberg excitedly summed up the big moments with two simple words: "Oh my!"
Enberg, a master at calling big events across the sports spectrum but who held a special love for baseball, died Thursday at 82.
Enberg's daughter, Nicole Enberg Vaz, confirmed his death to The Associated Press. She said the family became concerned when her father didn't arrive Thursday on his flight to Boston, and he was found dead at his home in La Jolla, a San Diego neighborhood, with his bags packed.
His daughter said the family believes Enberg died of a heart attack but was awaiting official word.
Enberg's wife, Barbara, already was in Boston and was expecting his arrival.
"It's very, very, very shocking," said Vaz, who lives in Boston. "He'd been busy with two podcasts and was full of energy."
Tributes poured in from around the sports world.
"To me, Dick Enberg was the greatest all-around sportscaster who ever lived and will never be emulated," former Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully said in a statement. "He had my respect, admiration and my friendship. He will be sorely missed."
Scully was among the first to congratulate Enberg when it was announced three years ago that he had been chosen for induction into the broadcasters' wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame as the 2015 recipient of the Ford C. Frick Award.
Scully read off some names of broadcasters Enberg would be joining in Cooperstown.
"Oh man, what a list. What's this farm boy doing on that list?" Enberg replied.
That was Enberg, who grew up in the Midwest, moved to Los Angeles and got his big break with UCLA basketball before expanding his repertoire to calling Super Bowls, Olympics, Final Fours, Wimbledon and the Breeders' Cup. Besides calling eight of Wooden's 10 national championships with the Bruins, Enberg became known in Southern California for broadcasting Angels and Rams games and, for the last seven years of his career, San Diego Padres games.
"There will never be another Dick Enberg," CBS Sports Chairman Sean McManus said. "As the voice of generations of fans, Dick was a masterful storyteller, a consummate professional and a true gentleman. He was one of the true legends of our business."
As their careers neared an end late in the 2016 baseball season, Scully and Enberg sat down to reminisce.
"I think we do have one thing in common about our background and I think are so blessed because of that, that we grew up in black-and-white radio," Enberg said. "There wasn't television and so we were able to use our memory and imagine our great heroes and what was happening and how it was being described."
When the Padres hired him in December 2009, Enberg explained the genesis of using "Oh my!" to describe big plays.
"It's not something that's part of my normal conversation," Enberg said. "I grew up with a mother who said, 'oh my,' a lot, usually in dismay, 'Oh my, now what have you done?' But it's a Midwestern term of exclamation. People say: 'Have you heard about so and so? Oh my!' Or, 'Oh my, that's exciting!'"
