Mongoose plugin for enforcing
unique constraints in arrays
mongoose >= 4.10.0. Do not use with mongoose 3.x.
const arrayUniquePlugin = ;
Basic Example
If you set the
unique property to
true on a schema path, this plugin
will add a custom validator that ensures the array values are unique before
const schema = arr: type: String unique: true docArr: name: type: String unique: true ; // Attach the plugin to the schema schema; const M = mongoose; M;
Why a Separate Plugin?
In mongoose,
unique is not a validator,
but a shorthand for creating a unique index in MongoDB.
The unique index on
arr in the previous example would prevent multiple documents from
having the value 'test' in
arr, but would not prevent a single document from having
multiple instances of the value 'test' in
const schema = arr: type: String unique: true ; // Do *not* attach the plugin // schema.plugin(arrayUniquePlugin); const M = mongoose; // Since `unique` creates an index, need to wait for the index to finish // building before the `unique` constraint kicks in. M;
Caveat With
This plugin attaches a custom validator to handle duplicate array entries.
However, there is an additional edge case to handle: calling
push() on
an array translates into a
$push in MongoDB,
so if you have multiple copies of a document calling
push() at the same
time, the custom validator won't catch it. This plugin will surface a
separate error for this case.
const M = mongoose; // Create a document with an empty `arr` M;

"Each story will dictate its own rhythms." Jonathan Penner
Here it is three days from the winter solstice, the end of Autumn, and I haven't totally finished my novel, which had been my goal. I am, however, much, much closer to the end and will carry on forging ahead with the hope that it WILL be done in a very short time.
The problem at the moment is 'bridging the gaps' That is...those pesky transitional parts. I have a lot of the story written that I'm threading together and right now I'm puzzling over what to add and what to leave out. I had a lot of ideas written down from long ago but now I'm wondering if it's just too much baggage. Shall I write it in anyway and then edit it out later. Or? I'm trying not to let the internal editor take over because every word is important and I think I'll do what I've done all along...write what seems to want to be written and worry about editing later. It's not that I'm about to go off on any tangents or anything, just that I've been through some heavy scenes and the tension is high at the moment. I don't want to risk losing the tension by adding things that are going to take the story off track. What to do? Hmmm...well, I know it will certainly be figured out very shortly.
It's kind of like being at the cross-roads. Where to go next? Well, here we are at the end of another year and New Years is always a time for new directions. Mine, I hope, will be in the direction of and editor/publisher.
"There's nothing which faintly resembles glamour about the work I do. I spend all of my working hours alone, facing a blank sheet of paper, and myself. For I have to dredge through my soul and my memories every day of my life. Writing novels is the hardest work I've ever done, the salt mines, really. I sit long hours at my desk -- til my neck and shoulders seize up. I make tremendous social and personal sacrifices for my writing, but after all, I chose to be a novelist. Nobody held a gun to my head. So why do I go on? The answer is easy. I can't NOT do it."

O'Callaghan attacks Buswell committee
Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan has launched an extraordinary attack on a parliamentary inquiry into the Buswell affair, accusing it of being biased and manipulating evidence to fit a "pre-determined outcome".
The Opposition-instigated inquiry examined matters including how police investigated the incident in which Mr Buswell crashed his ministerial car while returning home from a wedding.
"My concern with the whole report is that the Committee had a pre-determined position in mind, a pre-determined outcome and they have gone and manipulated the facts that we've provided them to fit their pre-determined outcome," Mr O'Callaghan said today.
He had previously rejected the committee's findings.
Premier Colin Barnett called on Margaret Quirk to resign as chair of the parliamentary committee that handed down the report.
The report was also heavily criticised by the State Solicitors Office in a response tabled in Parliament this morning by Police Minister Liza Harvey, who also said she did not support the report's findings and comments.
The response, penned by State Solicitor Paul Evans and State Counsel George Tannin SC, described the report as "erroneous and misleading" revealing of "an ignorance of parliamentary history and the role of Parliament in securing the rule of law".
Mr Barnett said: "It is my view, on the basis of this report and the responses from the Police Commissioner and State Solicitor, that Margaret Quirk should resign as chairman of this committee effective immediately."
But Opposition Leader Mark McGowan backed Ms Quirk, refused to criticise the report and repeated the allegation of a cover up.
"The Government is shooting the messenger here, it's not the committee that got drunk at the wedding and crashed a government vehicle," he said.
"The Police Commissioner is entitled to have his view and defend his position but at the end of the day it is not the committee that has committed the wrong here."
Mr Buswell was fined $3100 and disqualified from driving for one year after he admitted to 11 traffic offences, but did not face drink-driving charges because he was not breathalysed on the night.
The traffic offence charges, including failing to stop after an accident, were laid only after the incident was exposed in the media.
The committee concluded that there was a systemic failure at a number of levels on the evening.
"There was an inadequate police response; Dignitary Protection were unaware of the then state Treasurer's car registration or home address; police subsequently let any investigation lapse and left it to the media to join the dots," the committee found.
The committee said police did not make the connection between the report of erratic driving and the smashed cars in nearby streets.
Today, Mr O'Callaghan said: "I think most committees take the view that they're there to find out what the truth is and be objective about it.
"I think this committee has not been objective.
"They haven't taken the evidence and used the evidence in the way that it should have been used. They've simply used it to construct an outcome they wanted which is why I think it was biased."
He said there were several assumptions made in the committee's report that were incorrect and made without any evidence.
He said the fact the five committee members were split on their findings meant it lacked credibility in his mind.
He said his overarching view was that they were playing politics.
Mistakes included an allegation that the Government colluded with police regarding the approach to an interview with Ms Turnseck, he said.
"One of the statements that was made in there is that central Government had contacted one of the Deputy Commissioners and that contact was inappropriate and may have affected the way police approached a particular statement, the one involving (Mr Buswell's then chief of staff Rachael) Ms Turnseck.
In fact when you look at the sequence of events, Ms Turnseck was interviewed and a statement taken before that phone call was made, so they even have the sequence of events wrong."

GREENVILLE, SC– NOVEMBER 2011 – "AT-NET provides owners of apartment complexes with television, telephone, and Internet access. This allows them to provide services for residents as soon as they move in while creating a recurring revenue stream. It's a sizable stream, too.
If the apartment owner holds 400 units, and the typical customer pays about $133 a month for TV, telephone and Internet, the service allows the owner to make about $40 a month for those services. Multiply that by 400 units, and that's $16,000 a month additional income to the owner."

The EU Single Use Plastics Directive
What is it?
New far-reaching EU guidance aimed at reducing plastic marine pollution. It is based on the 10 single-use plastic items and fishing gear which account for 70% of marine litter in Europe.
"The European Strategy for Plastics is a step towards establishing a circular economy in which the design and production of plastics and plastic products fully respect re-use, repair and recycling needs and in which more sustainable materials are developed and promoted."
What is going to be banned?
- OXO-DEGRADABLE PLASTICS. Common in cold cups, cutlery, straws, and carrier bags, and often labelled 'degradable' or mis-sold as 'biodegradable'. These are conventional plastics with an additive to make it fragment into small flakes, but are not suitable for recycling or composting.
- EXPANDED POLYSTYRENE food and drink containers – also known as Styrofoam. Very common material in cups, clamshells, plates and bowls.
- All PLASTIC CUTLERY, PLATES, STIRRERS and STRAWS. That includes plant-based and compostable plastics, as the Directive is based on how materials behave in the marine environment. Compostable packaging breaks down in commercial composting conditions which provide a perfect balance of microbes, moisture and warmth; these are different conditions to the sea.
When does it come into force?
2021 at the earliest, with different deadlines to achieve various goals. Agreed upon in 2019, EU member states have two years to put the legislation into their own national laws. The UK has signalled it may mirror the EU's actions, regardless of Brexit.
Does it apply to Vegware?
|Cannot sell
|Can sell
|Pay higher EPR*
|CPLA cutlery
|RCPLA cutlery
|Wooden cutlery
|PLA straws
|Ecovio straws
|Paper straws
|Lightweight carrier bags
|Beverage cups
|Food containers including salad boxes, sandwich wedges & fast-food packaging for fresh or processed food that does not need further preparation.
*Extended Producer Responsibility – all packaging manufacturers, including Vegware, will pay more towards waste management and raising awareness.
Reusables plus Vegware
Environmentalists advise greater reuse, but acknowledge disposables have a place.
"A reuseable cup for your beer, but for your falafels, you should probably have Vegware," according to Richard Dixon, chief executive of Friends of the Earth Scotland.
Many clients now offer a reusable option and use for situations where reusables aren't practical. With our expert environmental support and ever-growing trade access to composting, Vegware is uniquely placed to help clients achieve their waste ambitions.
Where composting isn't possible, our plant-based materials perform well in incineration, producing heat but no volatile gases; in landfill PLA remains inert and does not emit methane.

All eyes were on the Netherlands on March 15th, a country that blossoms with colourful fields of tulips in the months of April and May. India has the largest tulip garden in Asia, and the Dutch have the largest fields of tulips, which are harvested and sold across Europe. The Dutch imported a flower from Asia, started producing it on a large scale and now profit from it. Being open-minded is also rewarding, as the Dutch have proved.
In many countries, including India, our school textbooks have included the story of a Dutch boy, who discovered a leak in the dike and wondered how he could save the lives of his countrymen. The whole country could be flooded in no time, and therefore he had to act immediately. There was one thing he could do, stick his finger into the hole and stop the leak. He did it. So, the story goes, this little boy did his duty to save his country. Since then the Netherlands, a country of 17 million people, has built modern dams and canal systems to reclaim a bit of land from the sea to house a relatively large population. The Netherlands is smaller in area than Denmark, but has three times its population.
The Europeans were nervously watching the deciding quarterfinal match of the elections in Europe with the expectation that once again, metaphorically speaking, a little boy in Holland would put his finger in the dike and stop the negative spiral of the anti-EU populist wave from leaking into the European population and drowning the European Union project. The Dutch delivered it. The European leaders have now heaved a sigh of relief after Brexit. The Dutch verdict clearly states that they want to remain in the EU. After the Dutch quarter finals, the next French elections will be the semi-finals and the German election will be the finals, deciding the fate of the European Union.
Immigration, Integration and Islam, the three "I"s, have long decided the election results in many western countries. Every fifth person in Germany has an immigrant background. The Netherlands similarly, too, is a multicultural hub of many nationalities. Everyone was expecting that the recently held elections in the Netherlands would be a repetition of Brexit, until the results were declared the day after the elections.
It became increasingly clear to a world focused on the issue of populism that a new feather was added to the narrative of juxtapositioning the elites against the common man. The common man in the Netherlands was not just worried about Immigration, Integration of immigrants and Islam. If that was the case, Geert Wilders, the leader of the anti-immigration and anti-EU party, the freedom party, PVV, would have won decisively with 40 seats as the opinion polls showed a few months ago, but he won a meager 20, adding just five seats to the previous tally of 15.
The international media had their eyes focused on whether the Dutch were going to follow the anti-globalization trend of populist leaders wanting to dismantle the EU. The Dutch eventually put a brake on the derailment of the EU project, and many parties in favor of the EU won a considerable number of seats, thereby making it clear to the world audience that the people of the Netherlands want to remain in the European Union and do not want to repeat the mistakes of the UK.
What is also interesting, of course, is that the Labor Party, PvdA, a party formed after the end of the Second World War and responsible for the creation of the welfare state, was decimated. From 38 seats in the last election, they were down to 9, which is an unprecedented loss of 29 seats. If my mathematics is right, then it is a tremendous loss. Why did the Labor Party, PvdA, lose so disastrously?
This is the issue that concerns the Europeans as well, but is of less concern to the international media. If we want to understand the reality on the ground, it is important to understand that the Dutch sister party to the Social Democrats across Europe, PvdA, the Labour Party, were coalition partners with Mark Rutte's party, VVD, The People´s Party of Freedom and Democracy. Both these parties were responsible for carrying out the so-called economic reforms that downsized the welfare benefits of the common man in the Netherlands. The Dutch had a health care system, which resembled the Danish, with free, tax-financed medical assistance, but now because of the fundamental reforms, the universal health care is being replaced with a system according to which one has to pay in the initial stages based on a Dutch concept characterized as "participatiesamenleving". The other change is the raising of the age of retirement and similar economic reforms that have affected the working class.
TheTurkish-Dutch diplomatic crisis, which occurred just days before the election day, saved the ruling party leader Mark Rutte from a further electoral loss like that of the Labor Party. Some scholars on Dutch history here had predicted an even greater loss for Rutte´s ruling Liberal Party than just the 8 seats` reduction from 41 to the present 33 seats, making it still the largest party. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of Turkey, reacted angrily at Mark Rutte for rejecting the entry of the Turkish delegation which wanted to address a political rally comprising the Turkish minority. 400,000 Turks live in the Netherlands alone and 5 million Turks domicile in Germany.
President Erdogan had planned to persuade these Turkish voters to vote in favor of his extension of presidential powers. Escalating the diplomatic row increases his chances to attain sweeping powers, bringing Turkey close to a dictatorship. The diplomatic conflict has further escalated today as the President of Turkey, having previously named the Dutch "Nazis" and "Fascists", now threatens to tear apart the migrant deal with the European Union.
The reaction of the Turkish government is finally hammering the point home in the European Union that they have to stand together to solve international issues and there are no simple nationalistic solutions to a global crisis. United they stand and divided they will face even more trouble.
The Dutch have voted, and voted emphatically, to retain the EU institutions, and to maintain the all-encompassing welfare state that takes care of the poor and marginalized as well. If there was a populist sentiment in the Netherlands, it was about caring for those who are downtrodden and left out.
These are the lessons to be drawn from the recent election, and the Dutch people have given the crystal clear message that one can be Dutch and European at the same time, and they are not seeking isolationism.
Lessons from Dutch Elections
All eyes were on the Netherlands on March 15th, a country that blossoms with colourful fields of tulips in the months of April and May. India has the largest tulip garden in Asia, and the Dutch have the largest fields of tulips, which are harvested and sold across Europe. The Dutch imported a flower from Asia, started producing it on a large scale and now profit from it. Being open-minded is also rewarding, as the Dutch have proved.

When is a complaint to a Council not considered a complaint? Ombudsman releases enquiry findingsDate posted:
Many Victorian councils are understating the number of complaints they receive, raising concerns they are failing to deal with dissatisfaction from their communities, Victorian Ombudsman Deborah Glass has found.
Ms Glass has surveyed all 79 Victorian councils, asking them how they define complaints and how many complaints they received in the last calendar year, among other questions.
Some councils could not say how many complaints they had received; others adopted a narrow definition. For example, only 34% of councils said they would consider it a complaint, as opposed to a 'request for service', if a person rang to say their bin hadn't been emptied the night before as scheduled.
"Far too many councils still adopt a narrow definition of complaint or interpret it narrowly in practice," Ms Glass said. "This matters. Not only is it impossible to compare the councils, those who understate the level of public dissatisfaction may well be failing to deal with it."
Ms Glass said one of the main causes of complaints about councils to her office was the way councils dealt with complaints. "All too often complaints are seen as a nuisance, or provoke a defensive, unhelpful, bureaucratic response.
"Complaints are actually a good thing - they are free feedback. Whether about a missed bin, blocked drain, rates notice or parking ticket, they say something about Council services.
"Capturing them as complaints allows councils to consider what may be needed to address systemic patterns of dissatisfaction that may emerge, to improve their service to their communities."
As part of her Revisiting councils and complaints enquiry, tabled in the Victorian Parliament this morning, Ms Glass has provided 79 summaries of how each council says it deals with complaints. Her survey produced some incongruous results, for example Melbourne City Council said it received 88 complaints in 2018 while one of Victoria's smallest shires - Ararat Rural City Council - said it received 1,180.
"I recognise that councils may have concerns about recording and reporting complaints, particularly when complaints data is used to criticise council services. But it is not a solution to disguise the true level of community dissatisfaction by labelling it as a 'request for service' or 'matter with a statutory right of appeal', instead of recognising is as a 'complaint'.
"I also acknowledge that many councils' IT systems affect their ability to record complaints, and it is encouraging to see some councils working on upgrades to complaints management systems."
Ms Glass's enquiry is a follow up to her 2015 report into how councils handle complaints. She said more councils now have policies for how complaints should be handled; more councils accept complaints by a variety of methods (eg by phone, letter, email and online), and the information provided to the public on how to complain is better.
However, many councils still needed to make their complaint systems more accessible, by providing information in simpler language, adopting tools that make it easier for people with a disability to make a complaint, and introducing translation and interpretation services.
Ms Glass said she was pleased the Victorian Government had accepted her four recommendations, which include legislative changes requiring councils to broaden the definition of what is a complaint and to report on their complaint data publicly each year.
Her office will update its release of data to assist councils, as well as improve its Good Practice Guide for complaint handling to make it more useful for council employees, and will continue to provide training for councils across the state.

Pangiunìa, destination wedding in Sicily has a pink shade [INTERVIEW]
Three, like the perfect number. These are the wedding planners of the Pangiunìa team, an island of events for foreign couples who choose to crown their dream of love in Sicily. The planners Carlotta Panarello, Giuditta Naselli and Stefania Sesto, partners of the Sicily Convention Bureau, sign their projects with a smile. Creativity and expertise, the winning combination to assist their couples for the organization of religious, civil, symbolic marriages now in Boho style, now Shabby, and then who knows, depending on the new global trends in the industry.
Naming originated from the acronym of their names, with a reference to the Greek influences of Sicily. Three different and complementary personalities for an organizational support able to satisfy the most demanding requests of international couples who want to marry in Sicily. Here is a light interview to let you discover more about their world.
What is the strangest request you received from a foreign couple to get married in Sicily?
Stefania – The most particular request was certainly the organization of a "blind wedding", the celebration of a wedding completely in the dark!
What is the most successful type of celebration in Sicily?
Carlotta – Currently the most requested rite is the symbolic one. One of us, in particular Giuditta, is a celebrant of symbolic rite and for her it is a great emotion to be able to build a tailor-made ceremony for future spouses able to involve the family and guests and to create a unique and unforgettable moment.
Cellar, historic venue, Hotel? What is the most requested location in Sicily and which is the top destination?
Giuditta – The cellar and the historic residence are the most requested locations. Catania and Syracuse the most popular destinations.
The most beautiful comment written by a couple?
Stefania – The most beautiful comment came from one of our spouses, who called Pangiunia a bit like Nutella: "it is addictive!"
China, could it be a next market for Sicily as a wedding destination?
Giuditta – Why not? It could be! Pangiunìa already works with foreign countries! It is a reason for growth and a stimulus to be able to meet people coming from all over the world and mix Italian culture – especially the Sicilian one, rich in traditions – with other cultures.
Your challenge for the future?
Carlotta – Investing more and more to make known the profession of wedding planner and at the same time remain what we are, in our genuineness.

Strata Florida Abbey
The ruins of Strata Florida Abbey lie close to the Ceredigion town of Tregaron, deep in rural solemnity and with almost no hint of the importance the place once held.
Strata Florida (© Miss Steel, licensed for reuse under this Creative Commons Licence.)
Little remains of what was once a huge and famous place of worship but there is just enough to enable visitors to feel the presence of a long-gone world and way of life. And with excavation still continuing, who knows what may yet be uncovered?
The abbey - Ystrad Fflw in Welsh - was founded in 1164, and the abbey church was consecrated in 1201. The name is a derivation of the Welsh, meaning valley of flowers and of a nearby river, the Fflwr.
Founded by monks from Whitland Abbey to the south east, this was a Cistercian House, established when the so-called White Monks were rapidly establishing their power base. The abbey initially came under the patronage of the earls of Pembroke but in the 13th century control passed into the hands of the owners of nearby Dinefwr Castle. As such, the famous Lord Rhys was one of the main patrons of the abbey.
The Cistercians were a wealthy order and they quickly acquired farms or holdings - granges as they were known - across the immediate area. These served to bring in extra wealth to what was rapidly becoming a major ecclesiastical site.
So important was the abbey at Strata Florida that Llywelyn ap Iorwerth - Llywelyn the Great as he was known - held a council of Welsh princes here, persuading them to acknowledge his son Dafydd as their rightful leader. Of course, once Llywelyn was dead, the princes simply reneged and started quarreling amongst themselves again. It was simply the fact that Llywelyn had chosen to bring them all to Strata Florida that made the occasion - and the place - special.
Strata Florida was a military base for King Henry IV during the Owain Glyndwr rebellion; the king expelled any monks who had supported Glyndwr. He then proceeded to plunder the abbey. It was again a military base during campaigns against the Welsh in 1407 and 1415.
Strata Florida, like the other abbeys and monasteries of Britain, suffered during Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries, and was dissolved in the 1540s. The refectory and dormitory were converted into a gentleman's house and much of the stone from the other buildings was taken away by local farmers and land owners.
The abbey lay, largely forgotten, until the coming of the railway in the 19th century. Then, in what was really an early tourist boom, people flocked to see the ruins and Strata Florida began what was, literally, a second life.
By then, of course, it was in a pretty disheveled state. The only substantial structure was the Great West Door to the abbey church but there were enough low walls left intact for people to gain some idea of what the place had once looked like. A series of medieval tiles, complete with decoration, was always popular with visitors, the most famous of these showing a man preening himself and studying his reflection in a mirror - vanity, it seemed, was not just a modern invention.
These days the ruins are overseen by Cadw and while there is still an archaeological dig going on, the graveyard is also still operational. Many people opt to be buried in close proximity to the 11 princes of Dinefwr who are also buried here and, of course, to the remains of the famous Welsh poet Dafydd ap Gwily, which also lie in the graveyard.
According to legend, Dafydd ap Gwilym is buried under a famous oak tree in the graveyard. The tree has withstood tempest and storm, even being hit by lightning on several occasions. Dafydd ap Gwilym sleeps on, regardless.
In its day, Strata Florida was a famous place of religion and learning. The Brut y Tywysogion, one of the earliest works of Welsh history, was said to have been compiled there, presumably by one of the abbey monks. Now, the abbey lies desolate and abandoned in a sleepy and quiet part of Wales, its peaceful nature totally belying the immensity of its history.

The last time I was at Strata Florida I couldn't get the image of Shardlake, the C J Sansom character, out of my head. In one of the early stories about the Tudor lawyer, Shardlake visits an abbey and to me Strata Florida was it. I know Sansom was writing about the south east of England and Strata Florida was on the west coast of Wales but that didn't matter. That, I suppose, is the power of a good story. And for that matter, a good place to visit, one full of atmosphere. And that's Strata Florida all right.

I have visited this place a couple of times over the years and also the adjacent churchyard with the reputed resting place of Dafydd ap Gwliym. I took a stroll around the graveyard and came across 2 interesting gravestones.
The first was a grave that contained only the leg of a man who had emigrated to America. He lost the leg in an accident in America and arranged for his leg to be transported home to his beloved Wales so that a part of him would always be in his native country.
The other gravestone was of a man with no name which is rather strange until you read the epitaph. I cannot recall the exact wording or the date but there had been a particular severe winter one year ( 1930s or 40s). When the snow eventually began to melt, a frozen body was found up on the mountain road high above Tregaron. There was nothing found on the body to identify the man and furthermore he could not be identified from missing persons from around the country. It seems to have been a complete mystery as to who this man was but local people raised money to give this man a christian burial and a headstone. The wording of the epitaph was something along the lines of..... Here lies a man with no name ,known to nobody but God, but lies alongside the Princes of our country.
I thought that this was rather touching that this somebody who was a nobody ended up alongside the Princes of Deheubarth.
Incidentally, is it not Ystrad Fflur and not Ystrad Fflw????

The National Working Committee of the African Democratic Congress has declared Senator Olufemi Lanlehin as the governorship candidate of the party in Oyo State for the 2019 election.
The Chairman, Screening and Primary Committee, Peter Oyewole, who announced the governorship candidate, said he emerged after a keenly contested primary involving 13 aspirants.
Oyewole said the keenly contested election, involving so many qualified aspirants, where other parties could hardly find one, and earlier discordant tunes within the party, showed that ADC was the party to beat in the Oyo State 2019 governorship election.
Oyewole called on the good people of Oyo State to join hands with ADC to rescue the state from the dictatorial and anti-people leadership style of the ruling party, All Progressives Congress, which had plunged the state into socio-economic crisis.
The National Chairman of the party, Chief Ralphs Nwosu, said he was happy that ADC had produced a strong candidate in Lanlehin, pointing out that all leaders and members of the party at the state and national levels were united on the choice.
He said the party's decision was not influenced by vote or delegate buying in line with the teaching of its Coalition for Electoral Integrity (C4e-Integrity), launched to help right the wrongs in the Nigerian electoral environment.
"I call on great members of our great party to support our governorship candidate in the interest of the party and the good people of Oyo State. Ours is a very vibrant party, as shown by the intense activities surrounding the primary in the state. We are one and will work with one voice to win the election in 2019," Nwosu said.
In his appreciation speech, Lanlehin, who was elected into the Senate in 2011 on the platform of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria, promised the people of Oyo State that, if elected Governor, he would run a people-oriented government that would make their welfare a priority.
"I will run an inclusive government and carry out projects that will impact on the lives of the people and make the state a pacesetter again," he declared.
Lanlehin thanked party members and leaders for believing in him and pleaded for team work and full support as the party prepares for victory in the next governorship election.
The ADC had declared Dr. Obadiah Mailafia as its presidential candidate for the 2019 election last Sunday.
Mailafia, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, emerged through a free and fair election, "free of vote buying", according to the National Chairman of the party.

What is a Multi Asset Fund?
Multi asset funds are made up of a combination of asset classes, including equities, bonds and cash, and are designed with different asset allocations to create a range of low-to-high risk offerings.
For example, a low-risk or conservative fund might invest heavily in bonds, while a more aggressive fund might focus on shares or property.
They're looked after by fund managers who review and rebalance the asset mix regularly and employ a range of strategies that aim to manage risk and optimise growth.
What's the difference between asset classes?
Equities (also known as shares) are issued by a public limited company and traded on the stock market. When you invest in an equity, you buy a share in a company and become a shareholder. Equities aim to create profit through capital growth (when the share price increases), or you can build income via dividends.
Bonds (also known as fixed income) are issued by companies and governments as a way of raising money. It's an I.O.U effectively, that aims to provide a regular income stream, over a fixed period. It also comes with a promise to return investor capital on a set date in the future.
Cash is usually held in a bank account where interest can be gained. To optimise growth, cash funds use market power to get better interest rates than bank accounts typically offer. They can also invest in very short-term bonds lasting one year or less.
Why choose multi asset funds?
The key objectives of multi asset-funds are to increase diversification and reduce risk, creating balance and avoiding the volatility that can come from having all your eggs in one basket.
For example, a multi-asset investor might hold a mix of bonds, cash and property, while a single-class investor might only hold stocks.
As a result, the benefit or loss of any market movement for the single-class investor can be amplified, while the multi-asset investor might experience more moderate gains and managed losses, by spreading risk and aiming to reduce the impact of any major downward turn.
Of course, no investment comes with a guarantee, making it even more important to choose funds and strategies that take account of your appetite for risk and aim to keep you within your comfort zone.
Avoid the trap of trying to time the market
A single-asset class might outperform during a particular period, but no asset class will outperform every period.
The diversification of a multi-asset fund helps with timing too, removing the impossible task of trying to guess which way the market will go and when, helping investors ride out peaks and troughs with more shelter.

There's two methods to motivate kids to learn – the "stick" and the "carrot". The "stick" method of motivating kids takes the no pain, no gain mentality, focusing on the merits of effort and hard work. On the other hand, the "carrot" method of motivation kids to learn offers a reward for learning.
Both forms of motivation have their pros and cons. For example, although the word "stick" has negative connotations, this motivational technique allows to children to learn a concept "by heart" – children can still remember the topic years later "like the back of their hand". However, when taken to far, this method causes kids to learn by rote, preventing them from having a deep understanding of the subject matter.
Likewise, the "carrot" form of motivation also has pros and cons. Children can often focus on the reward more than the learning, and don't realise that learning can be a reward in and of itself. Conversely, appropriate rewards that relate back to learning experiences trigger positive emotions in the human brain, which can greatly improve memory. Making learning fun can also have widespread effects, changing social attitudes towards education.
Most teachers agree that having a balanced approach to student motivation encourages a balanced perspective on life – life is fun, but sometimes you have to knuckle down and get the job done. That's why ZooWhiz balances hard work with rewards – kids must complete educational activities in order to earn coins, with which they can do other fun stuff, like buy animals or play arcade games.
We took a quick look at some of the statistics today, and, boy, are the kids in ZooWhiz working hard! To date, the kids have earnt nearly 15 million coins! But we also know that the kids are having a whole lot of fun too – they've spent most of their coins – nearly 14 million coins – on just having fun. However, with ZooWhiz, kids don't just alternate between learning and having fun: the educational content itself is fun, and the rewards themselves are often educational. For an online learning system, ZooWhiz really knows how to motivate your kids! If you haven't yet signed up as a teacher, I recommend you sign up now. It's completely free, and the online learning system of choice in mathematics, reading and word skills.
The fact that the kids 15 millions coins speaks for itself.
I stumbled across this page about an hour ago and decided to evaluate zoo whiz for our early readers. I registered as a teacher and created a test child account, and I have to say the educational content is brilliant, especially the literacy activities. I'm sure the kids will get a lot out of it too.
I'll be using with my own class this week and will show it to the other Key Stage teachers next week. I just wanted to give some feedback. Well done!

Since Albany received its first taste of winter snow fairly early this year (remember that late October snow?), I think many people were caught off-guard. I know I was surprised when my car door was frozen and it took several tries to open it. Then, I (along with many others) had the joy of scraping rock-hard ice off the windshield. With no gloves. Thus, why I feel that we were unprepared for the first snowfall.
Having lived in the Capital Region my entire life and as a former resident student at Saint Rose, I'm used to the winter weather. But that doesn't mean that I enjoy it. Now as a commuter student, I have to prepare to battle the morning drive to campus in all sorts of weather. I have a few tips for both resident and commuter students about handling the winter weather at Saint Rose.
For commuter students:
- Leave extra (and I mean EXTRA) time to drive to campus. Snow may be pretty to look at from inside your house, but it's not pretty to clean off your car. Removing ice from your car is even more challenging—make sure you have an ice scraper (and gloves!) ready.
- Be careful when driving on the streets around campus. The campus and surrounding neighborhoods are full of people-traffic. Keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the road both in and out of crosswalks.
- You will receive frequent emails about various parking lots being plowed. Make sure you check your email to see if a certain parking lot will be closed for plowing.
- If it is snowing when you're already on campus, be prepared to clean off your car and perhaps shovel snow away from your tires. Therefore, it helps to not only have an ice scraper in your car, but also a small shovel.
For resident students:
- Even though you don't have to drive to campus, still give yourself extra time to walk to your classes, especially if you have to cross Madison or Western Avenue. The roads and sidewalks can be slippery, even if they have been salted.
- When crossing streets around campus, keep an eye out for cars. You may think you have enough time to run across the road, but be aware that the road can be slippery. You can risk falling on an icy patch or the driver may not be able to stop the car in time. It's best to wait for the stoplight to turn red and then cross the street.
- Proper footwear is everything. You don't have to wear heavy-duty Eskimo boots, but wear something with more traction on the bottom. Sorry, flip-flops won't cut it anymore in a foot of snow. (As a side note: once it reaches about 50 degrees in the spring, many students on campus will break out the flip-flops.)

Secure Email vs. Encrypted Email
In order to protect the security of electronic protected health information (E-PHI), all users of an health care facility's computers must take precautions to prevent exposure
of the EPHI to hackers or other entities that may exploit, damage or otherwise effect the integrity of the information. It is a common practice for doctors and other employees in a practice to use workplace computers to send and receive email messages. These messages may be of a personal or business nature and/or may contain patient information, such as images, x-rays, etc.
HIPAA requires that messages not containing EPHI be sent securely, to minimize the potential for email tracking or "contamination" with viruses or malware that may get past firewalls and security software. Free software, such as Gmail, Yahoo, AOL and others are not secure and are vulnerable to hackers. It is possible to port email addresses from these providers through Outlook or other more secure email portals, such as a website, to minimize risks. Your IT support professional can assist you with this. Another issue with using Gmail, Yahoo and others as your business email is the lack of branding. In other words, if you are sending emails from your practice/business, the email should represent the practice, not Gmail. Your web domain should also be your email address. For example our web domain is www.marygovoni.com, and our email addresses are firstname.lastname@example.com and firstname.lastname@example.com. Every time we send or receive emails, our "brand" or business name is utilized and is visible to potential clients. It should be the same for a dental practice. Your web hosting service can provide you with secure email that will provide the HIPAA-required security.
If you are sending email messages with EPHI (x-rays, etc.) those messages must be transmitted with a higher level of security. The reason for this in dentistry is not so much that the images or other information is so highly confidential. The key reason is that when images or attachments are sent with unencrypted emails, there is a traceable electronic pathway from that message/attachment back to the server where those messages are stored. This opens a portal for a security breach. There are many cost- effective encryption services available for dental practices, including some that will integrate directly into your practice management software. The chief complaint that we hear about using encryption is that "it takes so much longer" to send and receive encrypted messages. It really doesn't take a great deal more time, once the encryption service is installed and set up – it's all about the perception and having to establish a new habit. Security breaches are increasing in frequency in health care and can be very costly to a practice. IT professionals estimate that the average cost of a security breach from is approximately $100,000. Not to mention that this would create a very negative opinion of the practice for patients and perhaps a sense of distrust and resentment for not protecting their information.

Top aides to the leaders of North and South Korea resumed talks on Sunday after negotiating through the night in a bid to ease tensions involving an exchange of artillery fire that brought the peninsula to the brink of armed conflict.
The meeting at the Panmunjom truce village inside the Demilitarised Zone began on Saturday evening shortly after North Korea's deadline for Seoul to halt anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts or face military action. It broke up before dawn on Sunday, Reuters reported.
Even as the talks restarted, the rivals were on high military alert, with the North deploying twice the usual artillery strength at the border and a majority of its submarine fleet, more than 50 vessels, away from bases, the South's defense ministry said.
South Korea, whose military was also on higher alert, said it had no plans to halt the propaganda broadcasts that triggered the latest standoff.
The negotiations were interrupted with breaks for both sides to consult with their respective governments, and for snacks, the South's Yonhap News Agency reported.
"North Korea wants to stop broadcasts, while South Korea can't do it without achieving anything back," Jeon said.
Sunday's talks were open-ended, with the South's Blue House expected to announce the results after they conclude.
The current tensions began early this month when two South Korean soldiers were wounded by landmines along the border. The North denies laying the mines.
Days later, Seoul began its propaganda broadcasts in random three-hour bursts from 11 banks of loudspeakers, resuming a tactic both sides halted in 2004.

The win-win of working with NGO's
Sometimes working on a NGO client can be hard. You're almost always faced with limited budgets… clients are often super busy doing the job of 3 people, multi-tasking or hastily learning new skills… deadlines can be crazy because an opportunity has just presented itself…
But they can also be extremely rewarding.
When The Red Cross Children's Hospital Trust (or CHT as we know them) recently sent out a Mother's Day email appeal, I read it as I would review any other work we do, but before I knew it, I was reaching for my credit card to donate – the mere thought of spending Mother's day without my most precious little daughter was enough to make me want to support the great work being done by the Red Cross Children's Hospital in any way I can. And once I'd pulled myself together again, I had a quiet celebration that it was our simple, but compelling copy that had drawn me in and it was the website that we developed for them that enabled me (and many others) to donate successfully online and in the heat of the moment. Then, when I received my personalised thank you note from CHT in the mail I knew that collectively, we subscribe to old fashioned good manners which form the basis for any personal relationship or good CRM strategy. All-in-all, a great experience.
I count myself lucky to work with the likes of the Children's Hospital Trust, Ikamva Labantu, Doctors without Borders and Home from Home. And I hope to share more of their great work with you in future.

Antidepressant medications were originally developed as the primary treatment for individuals suffering from depression, although many have since been approved for additional indications and are even used for off-label purposes when physicians see fit. Celexa is one of a group of prescription antidepressant medications called SSRIs, or selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, a category which represents some of the most popular antidepressant drugs on the market. These drugs function by balancing the level of serotonin in the brain, thereby relieving depression and improving certain mood disorders. The active ingredient in Celexa is citalopram, and the drug was approved by the FDA in 1998 for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Celexa is currently manufactured by pharmaceutical company, Forest Laboratories and is among the most widely prescribed antidepressants available. However, recent research has indicated a possible increased risk of major birth defects among infants whose mothers take SSRIs like Celexa while pregnant. Among these alleged Celexa birth defects if a craniofacial malformation called cleft palate.
Cleft palate is a congenital birth defect involving the improper formation of a child's palate in utero. Under normal circumstances, the palate, or roof of the mouth, begins to form after the fifth week of gestation. In some cases, however, there may not be enough tissue in the palate area as this structure is developing, resulting in a cleft palate. A cleft palate is characterized by an opening in the roof of the mouth and can vary in severity from a small opening at the back of the mouth to a nearly complete separation of the roof of the mouth.
Although there are temporary solutions for a cleft palate, including the implantation of a man-made palate, the only way to permanently correct the defect and relieve the symptoms associated with the condition is for an affected child to undergo reconstructive surgery. Without treatment, a child may suffer from significant complications, including recurring ear infections, hearing loss, feeding difficulties, speech and language delay, and dental issues like missing or malformed teeth.
The FDA issued a public health advisory in 2006 warning patients and healthcare providers about the potential connection between the use of SSRI antidepressants like Celexa and the development of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN), a life-threatening heart and lung condition. The FDA also required all sponsors of SSRI drugs to update their drug warning labels to include potential pregnancy precautions, particularly PPHN. This FDA decision came on the heels of a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine earlier that year. Researchers involved in this study determined that infants whose mothers took SSRI antidepressants like Celexa during the third trimester of pregnancy were six times more likely to be born with PPHN, compared to infants who were not exposed to an SSRI in utero.
Two additional SSRI birth defect studies were published in the American Journal of Nursing and the journal Pediatrics. The former study indicated that women who took SSRI antidepressants while pregnant were nearly twice as likely to give birth to infants with septal heart defects. The latter study determined that infants born to women who took one or more SSRIs during pregnancy had an increased risk of struggling with decreased neurological development, abnormal heart rhythms, unusual sleeping patterns, and problems with alertness.
The FDA has classified Celexa as a pregnancy category C medication, which means the drug has the potential to cause serious harm to a fetus when taken during pregnancy. If you are currently taking Celexa and you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your physician as soon as possible. It may be dangerous to discontinue use of a prescription medication without medical consent, as this may cause further damage, but with your doctor's aid, you may be able to find a safer method of treatment. Unfortunately, because most birth defects are already established by the end of the first trimester, and because nearly half of all pregnancies are unplanned, all women of childbearing age taking Celexa may be at risk of causing irreversible harm to their unborn child before they are even aware they are pregnant. Remarkably, research shows that SSRI antidepressants like Celexa represent the most frequently used antidepressant among pregnant women.
Drug manufacturing companies like Forest Laboratories are responsible for producing and manufacturing safe and effective medications, and are also expected to notify the public of any adverse side effects associated with their drugs. Unfortunately, some pharmaceutical companies intentionally withhold this information in order to avoid a drug recall or other negative consequences. This puts consumers unknowingly at risk of suffering severe injuries and even death, which could have been avoided had the drug company taken the appropriate steps to avoid unnecessary harm. The only way for victims of alleged Celexa birth defects to protect their rights and hold the appropriate party liable for their injuries is to hire a qualified Celexa attorney to represent their case.
Birth defects like cleft palate have the potential to cause serious complications for an affected child. In addition, children with cleft palate typically require surgery in order to correct the defect and restore the function and appearance of the palate. Proper treatment for birth defect victims can lead to costly medical expenses, which can be an overwhelming burden for a family already emotionally distressed by a birth defect diagnosis. If you or a loved one has suffered from a cleft palate which you believe to be associated with the use of Celexa, contact a Celexa lawyer to discuss the benefits of filing a Celexa lawsuit against Forest Laboratories. The goal of Celexa lawsuits and potential Celexa class action lawsuits is to seek financial compensation for your injuries, the medical expenses resulting from injury treatment, and the pain and suffering endured by you and your family. Defective drug litigation can be a complicated process, but with the help of an experienced Celexa attorney, you can feel confident that your case is in good hands.

Title: Results of direct dark matter detection with CDEX experiment at CJPL
(Submitted on 13 Nov 2019 (v1), last revised 4 Dec 2019 (this version, v2))
Abstract: The China Dark Matter Experiment (CDEX), located at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (CJPL) whose overburden is about 2400m rock, aims at direct searches of light Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). A single-element 994-gram p-type point contact (PPC) germanium detector (CDEX-1B) runs inside a solid passive shielding system. To achieve lower background, a prototype 10kg PPC germanium detector array (CDEX-10), consisting of three detector strings with three germanium crystals each, is directly immersed in the liquid nitrogen. With the energy threshold of 160eV, the limits on WIMP-nucleus scattering are set by energy spectra and annual modulation analysis, respectively. Incorporating Migdal effect, the data of CDEX-1B are re-analyzed to search sub-GeV WIMPs. Finally, the future plan of CDEX experiment in CJPL-II is introduced.

Very impressed.
This is my first time trying any kind of cannabis product... suffering from lower back/shoulder pain, plus a myriad of aches from older ortho surgical procedures. Overall a great product. provides an even effect each time, just the right amount of relief so that I can stay focused and active. Overall nice subtle calming effect (emotionally) plus I am now finding increased mobility in joints where chronic inflammation was restricting some range of motion.
A nice mellow sesh
I love these! A perfectly chill deal-e-o Bro! MAybe right to resh the sesh! Thank you
I noticed a difference in my pain level after the second day.
This was my first time ever trying any form of cannabis. The first day I was more nervous than usual but now I think it was because I thought something bad would happen from the capsules. The next few days I noticed that I had a bit more energy than normal and I am a type1 diabetic and also have rheumatoid arthritis. I have to say it does help me somehow with movement and pain.
Super pleased!!
I recently tried these to help me sleep and for fibromyalgia pain. I also get restless legs syndrome. I am so pleased and will be re ordering. Can't be without. ...love them!! Helps me with pain relief and to get a great nights sleep. Thank You!
Nice for winding down after a busy day.
Nice mild buzz
Great for new users. Very mild buzz. Feel laid back but still able to function. I like them for day time. Will try the 5mg Sativa caps next time to compare.
Excellent product
Enjoyable product, just the right amount of relief and focus to get through busy mornings. I find 5 mg is a nice lift for two hours or so during a rough day.
Good quality product.
Good product, really helped to wind down after a long day and sleep well. I have low tolerance and this was perfect.
First time using cannoil capsules, ever since I cannot smoke it anymore due to my asthma. I suffer from anxiety, depression, and insomnia and I was happy I got a good effect from it for my ailments, definitely will be ordering more.
Thank you so much.

Peter Jackson has spoken of the challenges involved in turning The Hobbit into a film trilogy in a special online event to mark the release of the first film on DVD.
The filmmaker offered fans a look at his New Zealand studio where the second film in the series, The Desolation Of Smaug, is in post-production, as well as fielding questions about the movies.
And the event also featured an appearance from actor Jed Brophy – who plays Ori in the film series – as well as Jackson's film editor Jabez Olssen – as he revealed the difficulties involved in bringing The Desolation Of Smaug to the screen.
'It is complicated to do a middle film like The Desolation of Smaug,' Jackson said. 'The advantage is that we have multiple storylines.
'The first of the Hobbit movies is a fairly linear film – Gandalf leads the dwarves across Middle-earth at the beginning of this adventure.
'The great thing about the second movie – as it was with The Two Towers, actually – is that the story starts spreading into multiple storylines.'
Jackson also revealed that the trailer for the film would be released in the summer – while offering a sneak peek of early footage revealing Stephen Fry as the Master of Laketown, Evangeline Lilly's elf Tauriel, and Lord Of The Rings regular Orlando Bloom – who has returned as the elf Legolas.
The Desolation Of Smaug is due for release in December 2013, while the final part of the trilogy, There And Back Again, recently moved from a summer 2014 release to December 2014 – mirroring the Christmas releases of the other films in the Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit series.
The Hobbit; An Unexpected Journey, was released in cinemas last December and passed the $1bn mark at the worldwide box office last month.

An online-server Internet Information Service in Windows 2016 / 2012 / R2, like earlier IIS variations, may be managed remotely. In truth, it's handy sufficient to handle a number of IIS servers from a single console, and it's virtually the one solution to handle an online server operating in the Core / Nano mode. However, by default the distant IIS administration is disabled, and for those who attempt to add a distant server with the operating IIS to the IIS Management Console (Connect to a Server menu) on one other server, the next error message seems:
Could not hook up with the desired pc
Details: Unable to connect with the distant server
Installing IIS Management Service
The matter is that in the usual IIS set up the service answerable for its distant administration (IIS Management Service) is just not put in. You can be sure that this service is lacking in the system utilizing the next Powershell command:
Get-WindowsFeature *web-mgmt*
As you may see, the Web-Mgmt-Service service is just not put in. Install it by execute the next Powershell command with native admin permissions:
Add-WindowsFeature Web-Mgmt-Service
Or you should utilize:
Install-WindowsFeature Web-Mgmt-Service
You may set up the Management Service part from the Server Manager console.
Then restart the IIS net service:
iisreset –noforce
The subsequent step is to permit distant connections in the IIS net server settings. To do it, open Management Service merchandise in the Management part of IIS Manager.
Check the «Enable distant connections» possibility in Management Service part.
Here you may prohibit connections to the IIS Management Console by IP handle. To do it, deny connections for unspecified shoppers (Access for unspecified shoppers: Deny) and specify IP handle/ IP subnets for which the connections is allowed. The distant connection service makes use of an SSL certificates, however you should utilize one other one for those who imported it into the server's certificates retailer (you may create and use a ). Save the modifications.
Note. By default, the port 8172 is used for distant IIS administration. When you save modifications, this port might be opened in Windows Firewall robotically.
Reg Add HKLMSoftwareMicrosoftWebManagementServer /V EnableRemoteManagement /T REG_DWORD /D 1
In this case you need to create the firewall rule manually:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule title="Allow IIS Web Management" dir=in motion=enable service="WMSVC"
Now you simply have to start out Web Management Service:
internet begin wmsvc
And configure the service to start out robotically when the system begins up:
set-service wmsvc -StartupType Automatic
Or as follows:
sc config WMSVC begin= auto
After that, a distant IIS net server may be added to the IIS Manager console and you may handle the IIS server, on it the identical approach because the native net server.
Allow Non-Admin accounts to Remotely Manage the IIS Site
By default, solely customers with administrator privileges have the permission to remotely handle the IIS server. In order to grant the permission to IIS distant administration for traditional customers, it's essential to grant the corresponding permissions on the degree of every IIS web site. Select a website and discover the IIS Manager Permissions possibility.
In the Actions panel, click on on Allow User. Select the consumer account to which you need to grant entry to IIS and click on OK.
User permissions to handle websites on IIS server are configured in the Feature Delegation part on the IIS server degree.
You can choose certainly one of three consumer entry ranges for every IIS server administration useful: Read Only, Read/Write or Not Delegated.
How to Manage IIS Servers Remotely from Windows 10
If it is advisable to remotely handle IIS servers from a consumer desktop with Windows 10 (Windows 7 or eight.1), it is advisable to set up the IIS Management Console from: Turn Windows options on or off – Internet Information Services -> Web Management Tools -> IIS Management Console.
You can set up this characteristic utilizing the PowerShell command:
Enable-WindowsNon-obligatoryFeature -Online -FeatureTitle "IIS-ManagementService"
However, if you run the IIS Manager console in Windows 10, the Connect to a server merchandise in the menu is lacking.
To have the ability to join remotely to IIS from Windows 10, it is advisable to obtain and set up the bundle IIS Manager for Remote Administration (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/obtain/particulars.aspx?id=41177).
Tip. There is a model of IIS Manager for x64 (inetmgr_amd64_en-US.msi) and x86 OS (inetmgr_x86_en-US.msi).
After set up, it is advisable to restart the IIS Manager and hook up with the location. If, when connecting to IIS, it seems that the console model is completely different on the consumer and the server, a notification will seem about the necessity to replace the console model (all vital recordsdata might be robotically downloaded from the server).
Now you could efficiently hook up with your IIS server and remotely handle it out of your desk.
IIS Remote Management and TLS 1.1 / TLS 1.2 Support
If you've disabled the unsecure and TLS 1.zero protocols on IIS and left solely TLS 1.1/ TLS 1.2, then when remotely connecting to IIS, an error will seem:
The underlying connection was closed: An surprising error occurred on a ship.
To repair the issue it's essential to make modifications in the registry on the consumer facet, for the obligatory use of the TLS 1.2 protocol throughout connection. Settings rely upon the model of Windows.
Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016:
Windows 2012/ R2 and Windows eight/eight.1:
NET Framework four.5.2 or increased have to be put in ().
Windows Server 2008 R2 / Windows 7:
You should first set up the replace KB3154518 to assist TLS 1.2 in the .NET Framework three.5.1.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727]"SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv2.0.50727]"SystemDefaultTlsVersions"=dword:00000001[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocols][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocolsTLS 1.1][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocolsTLS 1.1Client]"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocolsTLS 1.1Server]"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocolsTLS 1.2][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocolsTLS 1.2Client]"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSecurityProvidersSCHANNELProtocolsTLS 1.2Server]"DisabledByDefault"=dword:00000000

With the annual SiTF Awards just a few days away, we speak to SiTF's resident judge Shirley Wong in Singapore, on what the awards mean to her and the positive impact it brings to the ecosystem
Already into its 7th year, the annual SiTF (Singapore infocomm Technology Federation) awards held in Singapore brings together and celebrates the best made-in Singapore infocomm innovations since 2009. Such innovations include large companies, SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises), start-ups and even students.
For those who have followed the SiTF Awards closely, you would have noticed its long list of well known judges that are specialists in their own field. On this board of judges that change annually you will find a handful that are committed to this award year after year.
Wong is one of them. She has been actively participating in the awards ever since and 'had the opportunity to witness the growth of the industry alongside the progress of the Awards over the years,' said Wong.
Aside from participating as a judge at the SiTF Awards, Wong herself has a long list of accreditation. She has over 20 years of experience in the IT and technology industry and is now the Managing partner of TNF Ventures Pte Ltd. On top of her already packed schedule, Wong is very active in the start-up scene where she takes on the rule of a mentor to help start-ups get access to resources and funding amongst others.
This is the third part of our four week special covering the SiTF awards, this week we got the chance to speak to Wong about her personal observations regarding this year's entries and her take on the future of technology in our lives.
What can we expect from this year's SiTF awards?
SW: We expect award winners from across a spread of industries and coming from diverse backgrounds, and from experienced industry veterans to young entrepreneurs willing to start their own business after leaving university.
What are your observations of the entries over the years?
SW: Since we conceived the first SiTF awards seven years ago, there has been a surge in the formation of start ups. The Singapore tech innovation scene continues to mature and this is reflected in the growing number of entries we receive each year.
There is also more diversity in the type of entries and greater quality from the submissions. This year we had more than 300 nominations and shortlisted 92 finalists across 10 different categories, coming from schools as well as the private and public sector.
How do you feel about the quality of entries this year?
SW: I am pleased to see increasing entries and the relentless pace of growth year on year that showcase a stellar standard of creativity and innovation in Singapore that cut across all sectors. Also noteworthy was the emergence of numerous companies embracing disruptive innovation, even in the public sector in their use of ICT (information and communications technology).
How do you feel the SiTF awards have helped budding start-ups in Singapore?
SW: The awards have certainly given them the local recognition and enhanced their visibility to further excel in the global arena. The awards also provide the winners with a platform and unique opportunity to be profiled. They can inspire the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Could you please share with us how previous SiTF award winners have done? Which is your favourite?
SW: It will be difficult to name a favourite. Many have all done well and continue to thrive. For the last seven years, SiTF is proud to be able to provide schools and start-up tech companies with opportunities to demo and showcase their products and solutions to the industry, and be able to spur greater adoption of their technology and give them access to new markets and customers.
If you have a crystal ball what would be your one statement that will define technology and innovation ten years from now?
SW: Technology innovation is changing and disrupting the ways we do business, and companies will move away from the traditional approach of using IT as they embrace disruptive technologies to create new and innovative business models.

This unassuming food truck stands opposite a collection of towering government buildings, offering up some of the spiciest dogs, tacos and burritos in town served up on paper plates with no frills, no ceremony. Though almost all of it can be ordered vegetarian, the menu revolves around carnivorous crowd-pleasers that come in different spicy iterations. Beef and pork take center stage, the former available as barbacoa, carne asada and picadillo, which is similar to hash. Pork shows up as adobada (yes, without the v), al pastor, carnitas, chicharrón, and for the adventurous, as buche—or stomach, cueritos—or pickled skin. There is also chicken en chipotle or adobo. Opt for the plate of four tacos ($8) and taste a variety of fillings, and don't forget to add the earthy red chile or the creamy cilantro green sauce, which looks cooling but tastes like fire. Top them off with crunchy green cabbage or roasted jalapeños, the eponymous chiles toreados—but if you do, be warned. These are some of the hottest peppers I've ever tasted in my life. On the whole, El Chile Toreado seriously delivers on flavor, even if it hurts so good.

Qantas has named Brisbane as the second base for its initial tranche of eight 787-9s, hosting the four Dreamliners not already assigned to a Melbourne base.
Its group CEO, Alan Joyce, said "Each aircraft we base in Brisbane brings new jobs. One hundred and twenty of our Dreamliner cabin crew and pilots will be based in the city, with many choosing to settle in the state. A further 350 indirect jobs are expected to be created as a result.
"We've said that initially our Dreamliners will replace the routes that our older 747 fly but there are also new destinations we are looking at given the capability of the aircraft. A range of exciting options is on the table that will help drive tourism to the state and we look forward to making that decision in coming months."
From Brisbane a 787-9 could fly non-stop with commercially attractive payloads to Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, Vancouver and numerous established or potential destinations in China and the even wider Asia hemisphere. The reference to the specific cities in North America was contained in the Qantas statement.
Qantas's first four in its fleet of eight Dreamliners would be based in Melbourne, serving the Melbourne – Los Angeles route from December 2017 and the Melbourne – London (via Perth) route from March 2018. This is the world's first service to link Australia directly with the UK.
Qantas will take delivery of its first Dreamliner in October 2017 with the 787-9 operating on domestic sectors for six weeks for crew training and familiarisation before its first scheduled Melbourne – Los Angeles service on 15 December 2017.
Today's announcement adds to the growing interest of foreign carriers in building up a Brisbane presence, with Singapore Airlines recently announcing it will link Singapore with the SEQ hub three times daily with Airbus A350s this coming summer.
It also underscores the Qantas advantage over Virgin Australia, which has no spare or new capacity in sight for additional wide-body services from Queensland to overseas points.

Mrs. R. M.
I just went here for the first time this morning, and they were fantastic. I called yesterday hoping to get an appointment sometime in the next two weeks, and they had an opening for the following morning!
The reception was friendly and helpful. Miriam, the dental hygienist/assistant (?) was so sweet and kind to me. Every time she took the X-ray contraption out of my mouth, she asked, "Are you okay?" By the end she'd probably asked me that about a hundred times, but the dentist is nerve-racking and I appreciated her kindness.
I had chosen Prospect as my primary dental care providers based on the other Yelp reviews of Dr. Keyhan, but I didn't specify when I made the appointment and I was treated by his partner, Dr. Sharifi. I was definitely not disappointed, though- Dr. Sharifi gave me the best dental experience of my life! She was incredibly warm and friendly though still professional, always keeping me up to speed about what she was doing as she did it and explaining the reasons for each part of the exam. During the exam and cleaning, whenever I flinched she would apologize and try to make it more comfortable for me (and there was a fun movie, not infomercials or soap operas, playing the whole time to distract me from any discomfort). I never felt judged; actually, Dr. Sharifi was encouraging and praised my teeth, though she still gently recommended that I floss more (oops).
All this and I walked away WITHOUT getting the usual dentist-hassle about teeth whitening, invisalign, or being told that I needed a bunch of expensive dental work. She told me I didn't have any cavities (actually, to my surprise) and that was that-- out the door I went.
Great, great experience! I'm so happy I found a great dentist in the area. I live in Santa Cruz, so it's a hike for me but it was well worth it.

These works were inspired by all those who have not only perished in the line of duty for the sake of others, but those who have and continue to work for the betterment of society. Their service to the youth of this world whom they strive to enrich with knowledge and understanding, and to the communities they help protect and serve will never be forgotten. Their spirits live in all of us, their will to work to promote good is compelling. At once, they are the most underpaid yet most important authors of the present and future that we have. We call them public servants, but they are so much more.
"Who Am I", OSA's tribute to firefighters, and "Two Small Words", OSA's tribute to police officers, were written, copywritten and produced in January 2001 – well before the tragic events of 9-11 which stole the lives of so many, and tragically altered the lives of so many more. It was during these devastating times that the two groups were given their due in the public eye as heroes, yet they deserved this reverence and respect long before, and will forever. May those who have gone before rest in peace, and may their souls live on in us all.
