I have tried to find an answer to this but cannot. Lately, I noticed my User Account Picture was not the picture I had selected. In addition, the Background Picture for my Windows 7 Home Premium edition log on screen was changed. This happened after running a program that is for exams at school which reboots your computer into a safe mode where the only program available is a rudimentary word processor.
I contacted the company that makes that software, Examsoft, and they told me how to get my default logon picture for my Windows Logon background back.
To address the User Account picture, I went into Control Panel > User Accounts and attempted to "change picture". This is not an option, however, for my administrator user account. It is an option for my guest account. I tried cloning my account without the bad .dat files, but that didn't work either as the new account I had created, also an administrator account, did not display a "change picture" option in control panel either.
I ran sfc /scannow, and it found no errors.
I am not sure what to do. Has anyone encountered this? Can you please help me?
Attached is a screen shot:
Thank You.
I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/download.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
hi dooba, welcome to the forums ,if you have exhausted all avenues you could try a system restore prior to just before you had probs System RestoreRead other 7 answers
I recently installed Examsoft on my computer (a program to take exams in law school). After I installed it and rebooted my computer, some weird things happened. When I pressed Ctrl+Alt+Del, the only option available was "Switch User" and all the other ones were gone (Lock this computer, Start task manager, etc.). I eventually downloaded the registry keys that were needed to get back all the other options. The options to restart, shut down, hibernate, and sleep were also missing whe I clicked on the arrow on the start menu. I also downloaded the registry key to get those back.
However, the problem that still remains is that when I open User Accounts in control panel, the option to change the user picture is gone and on the start menu the box that is supposed to contain the picture above my username is blank. Also under user accounts, the "Manage your file encryption certificates" option is also gone. Does anyone know how I can get these options back? Thanks.
I have no idea whether it would do any good but have you tried a System Restore ?Read other 1 answers
Hi all
Previously the "Save Picture" box would put a web generated title in the box and automatically selected JPEG. Now the title box reads "untitled" and the only file options offered are "png" & "bmp"
Please note that a similar post has appeared, but the solution did not match the fault. I'm seeking to restore the automatic response to save picture, that might have been upset by antivirus clean-up programme.
Thank youin advance for considering my problem
Okay first hello and thanks for any info you could provide.
First my screen resolution is 1920x1200
The logon screen is this same resolution, thus the User Account Picture on Logon Screen size looks about 1 inch squared
Is there anyway to change this to make it larger
Note: I'm talking about the User Account Picture not the logon screen

If you're the only person that uses that pc, set a password and it will help make your pc more secure, plus you will have a bigger user account picture.
I am trying to use a Corporate logo on my Win 7 Enterprise build default picture instead of the flower
I can replace the user.bmp for the default user profile and that works fine in that each user that logs on get the company log displayed when the are logged on or lock their PC

User Account Picture - Change in Windows 8
hello i have fully activated windows 8 but when i try to change the user account pic the picture then it is high lighted and no option is seen . why it happens . not only user acount but log on screen too is unable to change/ what is the problem please help me.
Sorry for asking a dumb question, but did you try these?
For the account picture: User Account Picture - Change in Windows 8
For the background screen: Lock Screen - Background Image - Change in Windows 8
Note that if you have multiple accounts setup, then the login screen change is a lot trickier and a manual process from what I understand. Google that one...

Hello Tally,
You might check to see if it opened a window that may be hidden behind another opened window. Sometimes these windows are small and can easily be covered up.
If not, then try a sfc /scannow command to see if it can find and fix any bad system files that may be responsible. Afterwards try again.

I got this error message "Setting the account picture failed, please try again". I need to know how to fix this, i got this error after i browsed the pic i wanted to use, if you guys know how to fix this thing, I'll thank you here's the screenshot, I'm not using a pirated copy of this OS, please help!
I don't know what may happen,but I think it worth to try:
First of all, go to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft
and copy the Default Account Pictures folder and then rename it to any name,after this open the original Default Account Pictures folder and delete the picture and the data file which belong to the user and try to change accaunt picture
When I load a web page with embedded images, then right click on one of these images and select "Save picture as..." then as default save directory
is presented in the file open dialog. Ok, I can manually change this to another folder in the file open dialog. But how can I change this default directory (permanently even after a restart) to lets say D:\work?
You need to edit the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
There you will see all the different situations like disc burning, cookies, along with Pictures. Just edit the location to be the default you want and it will start saving whatever you changed (eg pictures) to that location.

Is it possible to change the local user account picture at the windows logon screen via a command prompt.
Reason I need to do this is because I have about 200 workstations where the same exact local account needs to get created and a specific user account picture needs to be applied.
I don't know about copying just the picture. Log in as an Admin on the computer with the account you want to copy and Right click My Computer/Properties/Advanced/System Profiles. Highlight the Account you want to copy (you cannot be logged into the account you want to copy) and choose Copy To. Choose a Network Share. Then Copy it to each of the computers in question that you want to have the account on. this should also include the picture.. Maybe someone can write a batch file that would send it to all of the computers in the network in one click.Read other 2 answers

Good morning (afternoon, evening) 7F. I'm new here and new to most sorts of customization as well. I am looking for help with removing (not changing) the User picture (and frame) from my Logon screen.
I just changed my Logon wallpaper, and my start button, but am having trouble finding out how to complete my final task. From what I've read on google I can'tt seem to find a definitive answer as to whether this "is" or "is not" possible. (maybe I'm tired).

I have read and updated my system(s) (actually Windows 2008 x64 Servers... or Vista on steroids...) to change the user.bmp picture and guest.bmp picture to be a company logo.
It works great with one exception. The default login screen has the switch user option enabled. The last user always has the company logo but the "Other user" is always blank. Any suggestions as to how to set this "Other User" to also have the company logo?
Ideally, I would love to get rid the switch user login and have just the single page login with the username and password field blank along with the large picture of the company logo. However ... one disaster at a time ..
thanks for any help or suggestions...
Hi Bob, and welcome to Vista Forums.
I'm sorry, but that was a bug that I had found as well, and there has not been any workaround for it yet that I am aware of. You will also notice that in the Start menu, the user picture will also be blank as well.
Just a quick question.
I have read in some places that it is better to create two accounts on a Windows PC- a "standard user" account (used for most day to day activities) and a password protected "administrator" account for when it is necessary to install software or make system changes. Apparently, this may help to guard against malware in some instances.
Can anyone comment on whether this actually leads to any improvements in security in practice ? Is it actually worth doing most day to day PC activites as a standard user ?
Microsoft dont really mention this to the average home user.

Here is a link to a photograph of a village next to a group of mountains that almost looks "surreal".
I love surfing the web and "sightseeing" from my couch and every now and then I'll come accross some pictures that you just look at and say WOW. This picture did that for me but I am not sure if it's real or not. I have never seen mountains that look like that.
What do you guys think? Is that a real, unaltered photo? Or something created with some fancy image editing?
I even tried searching for moutain shots including different places in the world including the ALPS etc... and none of the mountains I saw look that "dramatic".
If this is a real village and mountain scene, do you have any idea where it is located because I wanna take a trip there someday if I ever hit the lottery.... LOL

Hi all,
I recently created a new user account on a win 7 home premium machine before I'd had much experience with win 7 (but years with 2000 and xp).
Instead of users\Roger\ it created users\user which I now realise is not correct. (I didn't call my account "user", either, before you ask. )
Can I fix this without deleting the profile and starting again, as I've done hours of work since that little stuff up.

I had no idea where to put this thread, but since I am running XP Home SP2 I put it here. EVERY picture I save in "My Pictures" ends up in the list of available wallpapers in the display properties. My other computer did not do this, I had to manual choose a particular pic from my folders and then I could use it as a wallpaper. The pictures were not just routed there by default like it seems to be doing now. My big issue is the list is now ridiculously long & I don't know how to stop them from going there & undo the ones that are already on the list. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi there - me again! I don't know if you can help me out with another problem...
I often see on web pages the option to upload something from your own pc onto the web site - I've seen sites asking for CVs other for photos (jpgs) etc. You click a button that says "Browse" and it takes you to explorer and you select the file you want, click open and it inserts the file into the page you were using (e-bay pictures for example).
I have an excel spreadsheet that has a photos section and I would like to use the same insert/upload set up as I described above.
Can I do this in excel and if so how? I can figure out how to tell the button to load the same picture every time but not how to open the "open file" window.
Thank you very much

Hi, I am having a problem arranging items (pictures) in a program I use. I understand how the arrangement usually works, like in a folder and how to get it to auto arrange, and arrange by name etc. but I cannot get them to arrange consistently through the ?look in? box (the box that comes up when I press INSERT IMAGE). It is nothing to do with the particular program, since the look in box is part of windows. Here is my problem:
Here is a picture of the look in box: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...00/qImage1.jpg I need to arrange items by name automatically. I can right click and press arrange items then press the ?by name? tab, and all items do get sorted by name (see pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...00/qImage3.jpg ) here is them arranged by name http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...00/qImage4.jpg
However I press OK and insert the image, when it comes time to insert the new image I have to right click again and press arrange by name. I know it doesn?t take long to do, but I have to do this to over 500 images!
Things I did to try and resolve this: I opened the main folder up and pressed the VIEW tab then said to show only the ARRANGE BY NAME box. I was hoping this would fix it since it?s the only one I left selected- no help though. I also enabled auto arrange hoping this would help, but it did not. If I open the main folder it does show them in ABC order, however when I press the insert image button, they are random once again (just in that window) D... Read more
Does anyone know the limitations of the Picture Manager "locate" function?
Most directories are not searched even though system(c) is specified. No folders and images are added to the "My Pictures" Shortcut list even though images exist on c: in subdirectories.

Running locate of local drives gives the same results. I am logged in as the local administrator.

Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting here, so I ask that you please bear with me :) I am a freelance computer tech who works on people's PCs in my spare time. I am working on a customer's PC now; they are an older couple who mainly uses the system for little tasks, no major gaming or media or anything (which is funny once you see some of the specs on their system), and though I have some ideas what may be wrong with it, I am unable to pinpoint anything specific, and so I turn to the experts :)
First off, some specs on their system:
It's an HP Media Center PC case, but components have been changed in it from what they've told me. It has an ECS Nettle3 Mobo with an AMD Phenom X4 9500 CPU (running 2.2GHz). The GPU is an ASUS brand nVidia 8500GT. It has 3GB RAM (2x1GB + 2x512MB). The PSU is a LiteOn PS-5301-08HA.
The reason they wanted me to look at it is because they reported that the screen would, seemingly at random, go blank, with a "No Signal" message. The CPU still seemed to be running, but nothing on screen. They said this also occasionally happened as soon as they tried to start up the PC, and would never even see the system post. But again, they said it sounded like the PC was running, but no image. I have the PC at my shop now, and I have been unable to duplicate this issue; I have run Prime95 and MSI Kombuster just to stress test the CPU and GPU, but so far everything seems to be fine. I opened the case and checked connections and ... Read more

Some background first. I have three 1920x1080 monitors. The central monitor is Landscape. The two side monitors are portrait, used for working with web browsers, code, communication . . . I find it easer to deal with large amounts of text in portrait, where I can continuously track a lot of text without tracking back and forth across the entire width of a widescreen monitor.
So, I'm trying to set a background. It works fine. It's abstract-ish, so I set the 'stretch' option. That works fine on the central monitor.
On the two side monitors, the image is compressed between the left and right sides of the screen, but does not stretch to reach the top or bottom of the screen. The extent that they seem to extend up and down seem to exactly match the dimensions and alignment of the central screen. If this is so, then it would mean that on the portrait monitors, the background is filling a 1080x1080 block in the center of a 1080x1920 display.
The only thing that functions properly is 'Tile'. None of the other options seem to produce any change in the image displayed. (In some of the options, though not all, this would be normal.)

I recently bought a new 2gb Sandisk SD card for use in my Samsung D75 digital camera. I took about 10 pictures, and a few videos on it, all of which I was able to view perfectly at first. Later however, one of the pictures was giving the message "file error" when I tried to view it via the camera, and when I transferred it to the computer the JPEG file shows as a red 'x' on Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
I have tried programs such as Pc Inspector File Recovery, ZAR etc, none of which worked. With JPEG snoop I was able to recover a blurred image, however am unsure how to continue working with this to restore the file to its original clarity.
My question:
1. Is there a way to recover this JPEG file using any sort of available program?
2. Does anyone know how to use some of the more advanced aspects/commands in JPEG snoop, and think they know how I might be able to recover this image?
3. Has anyone any other ideas of how this image may be recovered/restored?
I will happily send the corrupt JPEG file if anyone thinks they may be able to assist. The picture is very important to me and I would hate to think I will not be able to retrieve it.
Any help would be very much appreciated....
Many thanks
The largest card you can use in the Samsung D75 is 1 GB according to the web.
Therefore the memory management will be totally screwed in how it has saved the data, you might have a fight on your hand retrieving it.
I've picked up a trojan from clicking a link sent over aol instant messenger. The message that is now being automatically sent to people on my buddy list is:
"hey is it alright with you if i leave this picture of you on my blog? http://www.logic-hosting.nl/images/blog/images.php?&view=image32.jpg"
The original message I received was worded slightly differently, but still talking about a picture and about putting it on a blog.
I have run symatec with updated definitons and reinstalled AIM with a different version twice each. Symantec continues to find nothing (other than occasionally some spyware) and the automatic spamming of everyone on my buddy list is still happening, though often not immediately when I log on but when I've been logged on for awhile already. Symantec occasionally pops up every few hours or so saying that a backdoor was quarantined or removed, but it obviously hasn't fixed the source of the problem.
I've tried to find information about similar problems here and elsewhere but I can't find any clear examples of what to do. Mozilla and email are completely unaffected, only AIM is giving me the trouble.

I am using windows XP pro and MS office business edition 2003. I have a dell latitude d820 and I have recently have had the hard drive cleaned and everything reinstalled up to service pack 2 (service pack 3 eliminated that fax console which I use so I am NOT using SP3).
Thanks for your help!

Try deleting all the Thumbs.db files in the pictures folders (you may have to turn off protect hidden operting system files in Tools>Folder Options>View to see them) so they rebuild themselves. Also see if it works from another account. If that doesn't help there's probably some corruption in the dll that's performing the thumbnail routine and you'll have to get advice from more versed citizens on how to replace that dll.
When I first start my computer a screen appears with pictures of each user's password-protected account. When I clik on one of the pictures a new screen appears with the same picture I cliked on, but the picture is about 3-4x larger. Is it possible for the account picture in the first screen ('choose account' screen) to be the same size as the account picture in the second ('password login' screen)? If so, how to do?
-thank you
No, they are smaller on the first screen because there is more than one.
There was another thread here a while back that was trying to accomplish that too, through the registry, it just made everything huge.
Hi all,
Some time back, I set up two user accounts on my Windows 7 PC, customised to use desk top icons from my personal photo library. Now I would like to copy these images to another Windows 7 PC. Of course I cant now remember where I got them from, and whats more cant find where they are located on the first machine. Can anyone point me to the right place?
I dont quite understand what you mean but I think this will help

Deloitte – Evaluation of the WP.29 impact on automotive cyber security
Description of the company
Deloitte has more than 286,000 professionals at member firms delivering services in audit & assurance, tax, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory and related services in more than 150 countries and territories. Revenues for fiscal year 2017 were US$38.8 billion. In our global business environment, the risk of cyber-attacks is increasing. Therefore, Deloitte Cyber Risk helps organizations to address these threats, minimizing risk while optimizing new business opportunities.
With new trends like autonomous driving and connected cars, todays cars get more and more complex. With this increasing complexity, the risks for cyber security incidents and attacks rise as well. As those cyber risks can also have an impact on car safety, it is crucial to comply with existing and future regulations in this field.
Vehicles, that are sold today, have to meet country specific regulations and to register a car both the vehicle and the components have to be approved for the specific country. The different regulations and approval procedures often require additional testing and design modifications to get the approval. To simplify this process and to reduce international trade barriers, the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) established the "World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations (WP.29), with the objective to initiate and pursue actions for the worldwide harmonization of technical regulations for vehicles. The WP.29 contains several subgroups, which assist in researching analyzing and developing requirements for technical regulations in the areas of their individual expertise. The WP.29 working party on Automated/Autonomous and Connected Vehicles has established a UN Task Force for Cyber security and over the air issues. This task force has released a draft, which is currently being evaluated before its regulations are translated to national law and come into force.
- Automotive manufacturers need to prepare themselves even though the standard is still in evaluation
- Besides a few concrete points, the wording of the requirements is held so general that it cannot be used as a direct course of action for implementation
- Cars are very complex products and the manufacturers depend on a wide range of suppliers. Those supplier relationships and processes also have to be assessed and modified according to the regulation where necessary
- The UNECE regulation affects the cars entire lifecycle from development till scrapping
- If automotive manufactures do not comply with the requirements until the end of a transitional period, their new cars will not be able to get the obligatory type approval and therefore not be allowed to be sold
Aims of the project
In this project, the impact of the WP.29 on the automotive industry and cyber security in cars should be analyzed.
- How can automotive manufacturers prepare themselves even though the Standard is still in evaluation?
- How can companies collaborate with suppliers on the upcoming changes?
- How can the WP.29 requirements be integrated in the entire product lifecycle?
- Propose a cyber-security strategy for the automotive industry to comply with the WP.29 regulations
Target group (students)
All Bachelor and Master students with strong interest in cyber security.
Please reserve these dates: Fishing for Experience Termine

The first passage is through a small flotilla of moored motorboats and toy ships - still quiet in the morning light with a few people up and fishing, a few people up a basking in the early sun, and a few people still asleep and dreaming of the two or three mai tais coming with the start of the motor.
Three guys on jet ski things follow me into the shallow bay that comes next. They are matching my speed and I assume that they think that I know where the deep channel is. I do. So, I stay in the six to eight inch water and skim over a few barely submerged rocks and soon they turn back oblivious of how annoying they are. And then, I slide over 20 yards into the deep channel where I can get a full draw with the paddle. (I will not see a single person or boat for the next two hours, until I am nearly back to the put-in).
There are about two dozen great egrets in the big shallow bay with a few great blue herons and a few mute swans. Two hand-sized crab take a defensive position, claws spread wide to the side, as I paddle over. They are thinking, "he is oblivious to how annoying he is." But, I am not...and I leave them to their own devices.
Fish have been rising to the surface all along, and the osprey are feeding, making steep glides to catch fish instead of their more usual and dramatic dives. I watch one struggle in the water for several seconds before it finally gets airborne with a rather large catch. When I paddle over to the rocky and tree lined shore for some shade, an immature bald eagle flushes...then a second immature also takes wing.
I re-enter the narrowness of the marsh and note that it is not a cattail marsh as I have always thought, but rather it is a cattail and wild rice marsh. The plants are intermingled, the cattails supporting the sparser rice plants. To us, it is unharvestable rice, of course, because you need to be able to pole a canoe through the rice to harvest it, but the red wing blackbirds are doing well managing their crop.
I turn a bend and something slinky moves through the water some 50 yards ahead...fish, carp, eel?
I spot three river otters. There might have been more. One takes to the cattails while the other two dive. Each time they resurface they let out (or take in) a loud wheezy breath. I never heard this out west, but out west the otter were somewhat used to people and not so alarmed as these are. They dive and resurface, always leading the way for the next couple hundred yards. It has been a long time since I have seen otter.
As I paddle back across the big shallow bay, taking a route out into the main river, I get splashed by a couple large fish. One of them rumbles the bottom of the canoe as I pass over. I don't know what they were, but sure did annoy them.

Rainham church break-in: Thieves smash stained glass windows
Thieves who targeted a church caused between £5,000 and £10,000 of damage, before making off with a charity pot containing less than £200.
The Rev Nathan Ward said when he arrived at St Margaret's Church, in Rainham, Kent, he found the 900-year-old building had been ransacked. A stained glass window was also smashed.
Police said they were called to the church at 07:40 GMT.
But Mr Ward said the break-in "would not dampen spirits" ahead of Christmas.
He added: "This is a season where we especially think of those whose lives have taken a wrong turn and would welcome an opportunity to meet with those involved so we can help and support them.
"We bear no ill will."
The thieves forced doors and cupboards open, ransacked the church office, and stole the CCTV camera.
Much of Sunday, he said, would be spent clearing up and increasing security, before services resumed in the evening.
Mr Ward said the break-in was "particularly sad", given how old the stained glass windows were, and that the small amount of money kept in the church was meant for charity.
A second church in Rainham – St Thomas of Canterbury in London Road – was also broken into. Police were called to that church at 09:15.
Kent Police confirmed inquiries into both break-ins were ongoing, and appealed for anybody with information to come forward.

I can only describe my introduction into the world of lashes as a bit of an epiphany. I had a set of classic lashes done for a holiday right back when lash extensions were not the luxury but mainstream treatment they are today.
It sounds silly but it was a revelation not to wear mascara and yet still look picture perfect both in and out of the swimming pool. Goodbye panda eyes! This time saving treatment means that you can look good on waking even after a heavy night. I became obsessed with getting the word out there; sharing my magical beauty tip. It was on my sunbed back then that I decided to re-train and spread the lash love. And so; Flashlash was born!
Having worked in television both on screen and behind the cameras since leaving university I was no stranger to glitz and glamour and the focus on appearance. As my life moved on and I became a busy mother of two, it was harder and harder to spring out of bed for the breakfast show at Sky News. Thank goodness for a wonderful make-up department but I realised that lashes and permanent make-up (I can recommend www.londonpermanentcosmetics.co.uk) were a great advantage for my TV life but also for everyday wear.

Since the birth of Flashlash a decade ago, I have expanded into other treatment areas which compliment lashes but are also designed to save my clients time and to boost self-confidence. I believe in offering quality not quantity and my treatment menu has been very carefully considered.
I also trained with Darling Beauty (www.darlingbeauty.com) and am able to offer first class training which takes spreading the lash love that step further. Empowering women to start their own journey along the road to becoming a first rate lash artist.
My studio is my oasis. Let it become YOUR sanctuary. The ulitimate in 'me time' – a place of calm, stillness, restfulness and attention to detail. Best of all are the luscious lash naps!

Hi. I graduate tomorrow & I will aim to do 5km (it'll take me longer than 30 mins).
I've signed up for the City of Manchester 10km on 12th July as something to aim for.
I was wondering if anyone can recommend a Bridge to 10k app for the iPhone?
I've downloaded 10k runner app but that starts from the basics and I can already run 5km. I could join it at week 9 (of 14 wks) from the 30 minutes of running bit but I wondered if there was a specific app anyone would recommend?
I looked at my Asics plan & it has an 8km (!!!) run as the second run of the plan & I think that's too much too soon.
Please, can anyone help as I'd really like to do this 10k in July.

When the Angel of the Lord appeared to tell Gideon how God wanted him to save the people of Israel from the Midianites, the first words spoken were, "The LORD is with you, you mighty man of valor!" (Judges 6:12) Gideon showed his true colors when he replied, "But Lord, how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family" (v.15). That was the beginning of his many excuses.
Sound familiar? So often, we sense God telling us that He has something big for us to do. But because of a poor self-image, we say, "God, I can't do that. You've got to find somebody more qualified. I don't have what it takes." We misheard what God is telling us. He says, "I'm with you" over and over again – that's awesome! But then He adds, "Have I not sent you?" (v.14) God is saying this: "You are not alone, I'm with you. You're not the one who will fight, I will. I will fulfill what I sent you to do. Just obey." Like Gideon, we count on our own strengths, "How can I save Israel?" You can't. But God can! Like Gideon, we focus on our weaknesses, "My clan is the weakest…" but God says, "You are a mighty man (or woman) of valor!" Like Gideon, we feel "least" but He says – "The LORD is with you" – that's more than one!
Probably you're hiding like Gideon (see v.11). But no more! Stand up you mighty man and woman of valor! You may feel unqualified, insecure, weak, fearful and insignificant, but God sees you as a victor!

Records management hasn't always been a priority. It isn't sexy like semantic technology or machine-assisted indexing. However it is a necessity and one that needs to be considered more often than just when there is a disaster. FedSmith brought this interesting information to our attention in their article, "How to Get Records Management Right."
Proactive planning is needed to manage the complex process of records management, especially in these days of digital. If your organization doesn't have proper records managers, it's best to create a committee of representatives from each department who have purview of archives.
A key component of any records management system is a taxonomy. In all taxonomies, decisions have to be made. The key is to be consistent in those decisions so there is consistency across classification. Consistency makes content findable.
Professionals should look for an experienced builder of solid standards-based taxonomies to associate content for appropriate machine-assisted indexing. Access Innovations can provide solutions that are ANSI compliant.

Excerpt (Audio:: English, no subtitles)
"Hometown Habitat, Stories of Bringing Nature Home", a 90-minute environmental, education documentary focused on showing how and why native plants are critical to the survival and vitality of local ecosystems.
"Hometown Habitat" features renowned entomologist Dr. Douglas Tallamy, whose research, books and lectures on the use of non-native plants in landscaping, sound the alarm about habitat and species loss. Tallamy provides the narrative thread that challenges the notion that humans are here and nature is someplace else. "It doesn't have to, and shouldn't be that way." Inspiring stories of community commitment to conservation landscaping illustrate Tallamy's vision by showing how humans and nature can co-exist with mutual benefits.
The message: All of us have the power to support habitat for wildlife and bring natural beauty to our patch of the earth.
The goal: Build a new army of habitat heroes!

Imagine a world without music. Boring, isn't it? Thank goodness we have songs to romance to, songs for the bride to march down the aisle, "happy birthday to you" when our birthdays come and musicians to show us how feelings sound. We have musicians, great musicians, and then there are musical geniuses. The past may have seen many such musical geniuses, no doubt. For those of us wondering where all the musical geniuses have gone and why we haven't got any in this century, here is a list of five such geniuses that we think make the cut.
1. Benny Prasad
Born in Bangalore, India, musician Benny Prasad holds a World Record for being the fastest to travel to 245 Nations in 6 years, 6 months and 22 days. Despite having suffered from severe asthma and 60 percent lung damage, Benny has come a long way. He has gone from finding no fulfilment in life to performing at the 2004 Olympic Games and the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Known for his creations – the world's first Bongo Guitar and the 54-string guitar, the Bentar, Benny aims to bring hope to people through his music and believes that if his dreams could come true, so can ours. Inspirational, truly!
2. Mark Applebaum
Mark Applebaum is an American composer and Jazz Pianist who has performed across the world. Since the 1990s he has built electroacoustic instruments out of hardware and junk. His Frankenstein instrument called the Mouseketier consists of combs, threaded rods, nails, springs, ratchets and a toilet tank floatation bulb. Yes, we have a scientist of music!
3. Reggie Watts
Featured as a 'hot comedian' by Rolling Stone, Reggie Watts is an also an actor, beatboxer, musician and singer. He refers to himself as a "disinformationist", aiming to disorient his audience. Watts' routines are 100 percent improvisations and bear the stream-of-consciousness association, often making his audience wonder what the baseline of his act is. If you want to know what experimentation in performing arts looks like, here you go!
4. Usman Riaz
Usman Riaz is a young music sensation from Pakistan who used the internet as his teacher and a distributor for his music. At the time when he was in the first year at Berklee, he was the youngest Senior Fellow in TED's history! His talents are not limited only to music, he also writes and directs short films and guess what? he painted the cover of his album Circus in the Sky. A multi-talented genius, isn't it?
5. Jake Shimabukuro
Recognized as the Jimi Hendrix of the ukulele, Jake Shimabukuro is a ukulele virtuoso and composer who has various award-winning albums to his credit. He became famous internationally when a video of his rendition of the George Harrison and Eric Clapton "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was posted on YouTube. It was one of the first viral videos on the site. Need we say more? Don't think so!
Watching these super cool, super talented musical geniuses is enthralling, don't you think? We hope to discover many more!

Contracts worth $25 billion to develop two major oilfields in Khuzestan Province shared by Iraq may be signed within the coming months, Noureddin Shahnazizadeh, chief executive of Iran's Petroleum Engineering and Development Company (PEDEC) said.
"Estimates indicate that $25 billion in investment are required to develop Yadavaran and Azadegan Oilfields in the West Karun oil block," Shahnazizadeh was quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
According to the official, not only the development of the fields but also enhancing their recovery rate with the help of advanced technology is on the PEDEC priority list.
Pointing to memoranda of understanding signed with French energy major Total S.A., Anglo-Dutch oil and gas company Royal Dutch Shell and Japan's Inpex to conduct technical studies regarding the fields' deposits, Shahnazizadeh noted that the firms have been assigned to study the entire Azadegan Oilfield which is made up of northern and southern sections.
Known as Iran's biggest and the world's third largest oilfield, Azadegan is located in the southwest of Khuzestan. The field's in-place oil is estimated at 33.2 billion barrels, of which 6 billion barrels are deemed recoverable. It is the biggest oilfield discovered in Iran in over three decades.
Dehloran, West Payedar, Naft Shahr, Azadegan, Yadavaran and Azar are fields shared by Iran and Iraq.
"Iran is now pumping 40,000 and 75,000 barrels per day from South and North Azadegan fields respectively," he added.
Underscoring the National Iranian Oil Company's agreement with international giants in March to study the oilfield, the official said foreign majors are expected to present their findings to the NIOC within six months of signing the agreements.
"As soon as the outcome of their technical survey is presented to NIOC, Azadegan Oilfield will be put out to tender." Plans are in place to hold a tender for the most-prized upstream project in early 2017.
Referring to Yadavaran Oilfield's current output of 115,000 bpd, he said that the field is projected to produce 180,000 bpd and 300,000 bpd in its second and third development phases.
Drilling in South Azadegan
According to Mehran Makvandi, the National Iranian Drilling Company's deputy director, NIDC has won a tender to drill 20 wells in South Azadegan Oilfield under the auspices of PEDEC.
"The drilling project will be implemented in the form of a turnkey contract, whereby NIDC is to design, procure and install the equipment and provide engineering services," he said.
"The company has already completed the drilling of 40 wells in South Azadegan."
NIDC's other operations include drillings in Phase 14 of South Pars Gas Field, Azadegan and South Yaran oilfields in Khuzestan as well as Azar field in Ilam Province. It has already drilled an exploratory well at a depth of 2,900 km in Soufikom region in Aq-Qala County in Golestan Province, commissioned by Khazar Exploration and Production Company.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G
The Samsung galaxy s10 5g launch date become may additionally moreover 16 within the us, and it first launched in korea on april 5 (making it the second 5g smartphone in the global behind the moto z3 – via days), at the equal time as uk release date modified into june 7. The s10 5g fee is, no shaggy canine tale, either: $1,299, £1099 (around au$1,850) for the 256gb model and $1,399 (round £1,one hundred, au$1,990) for the 512gb model. Verizon, the first american issuer with the phone, is charging month-to-month prices of $fifty four. Sixteen and $fifty 8. 33, respectively. Inside the uk, the 256gb galaxy s10 5g is to be had thru vodafone and ee, in which monthly costs begin at £fifty eight (with £129. Ninety 9 up front).
If the s105g us price jumped to $1,299 from the s10 plus charge of $999, then count on it to far exceed the s10 plus price of £899 / au$1,499 / aed 3,599. Its larger display screen, double the storage, 4 rear cameras and 5g help supply a pinnacle charge. Design and show.
dimensions: 162. 6 x 77. 1 x 7. 94mm
os: android 9
display length: 6. 7-inch
decision: qhd+
cpu: octa-core chipset
ram: 8gb
storage: 256gb
battery: four,500mah
rear digicam: 16mp+12mp+12mp+three-d
the the front camera: 10mp+3-d
The Samsung galaxy s10 5G is a massive, massive cellphone, that is unsurprising thinking about its 6. 7-inch display. That stated, at 162. 6 x 77. 1mm it's only fractionally wider and taller than the galaxy take a look at nine and word 8, which had 6. 4-inch and 6. 3-inch shows respectively, on the identical time as at 7. 94mm the galaxy s10 5g is thinner than both, however packing a larger battery. Take that into consideration and the galaxy s10 5g is reasonably compact for the amount of display actual assets you'll revel in. Positive, human beings with smaller arms will conflict to maintain it one-handed, however it's now not as overbearing as you would in all likelihood assume. It's no heavier than the preceding look at handsets both, tipping the scales at 198g; that isn't exactly slight for a mobile phone, but once more, considering the dimensions it's ideal. The energy key's positioned at the right of the handset, and is fairly clean to reach, even as the volume rocker sits above the bixby key at the left, with the latter offering you with short get right of entry to to Samsung's digital assistant.
we weren't capable of positioned the modern day version of bixby via its paces all through our hands-on time with the galaxy s10 5g, due to the fact the handset modified into in plane mode and changed into locked, so that you'll ought to await our whole review to discover how it plays. On the bottom of the s10 5g there's a fine addition to one aspect of the centrally-placed usb-c port: a headphone jack. The three. 5mm port lets in you to plug in your conventional set of headphones without the need for a fiddly adapter that's effortlessly lost/left at domestic. Moving your hobby to the sizable show, you'll word the 6. 74-inch, 19:9 amoled display display screen is massive, vibrant and sporting a 'punch-hole' digicam block within the top-right corner. It's the most critical punch-hollow on any of the contemporary s10 handsets, making it the most top notch as nicely. It technically sits within the notification bar, even though, so it's unlikely to motive an hassle at some point of general usage.
The simplest times we see it likely getting inside the way are at some point of video playback and gaming, despite the fact that we weren't in a position to check each inside the course of our fingers-on time with the galaxy s10 5g. The display screen has a qhd+ resolution, providing pin-sharp visuals, and at some stage in our time watching the lock show and using the digital camera we didn't experience any apparent issues with it. The show additionally curves over the rims of the handset, growing the familiar, futuristic end we've emerge as acquainted with on Samsung's flagship phones. Embedded inside the show screen is an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, which lets in a smooth layout at the rear of the galaxy s10 5g - mild digital camera bump apart - and Samsung claims the scanner will art work even in case your hands are moist or cold. Digital digicam
The Samsung galaxy s10 5g is the handiest s10 handset to boast 4 rear cameras, and it's simplest the second one tool from the brand to percentage this variety (the other being the galaxy a9 2018). The number one 3 cameras are identical to the triple-sensor setups at the galaxy s10 and s10 plus, with a top 12mp variable-aperture digital camera, a 16mp 123-degree ultrawide snapper, and a 12mp telephoto lens – you may have a look at extra about those 3 cameras in our galaxy s10 and s10 plus palms-on critiques. It's the fourth camera at the galaxy s10 5g that's the maximum exciting: a hqvga 3-d intensity-sensing digital digital camera, additionally called a time-of-flight digicam. Time-of-flight (tof) cameras aren't new, and we've seen them utilized by apple inside the iphone x onwards, at the same time because the lg g8 thinq and several different smartphones also percent this sort of sensor. What tof gives is precise, accurate intensity sensing, this is useful for face recognition, 3-d imaging, vr (virtual fact) and ar (augmented reality). Combined with 5g community speeds in this handset, the era opens up a full-size array of new vr and ar research which truely aren't feasible on 4g telephones.
it can additionally help to optimize the pix taken by way of the alternative cameras, offering higher ancient past blurring in Samsung's 'stay consciousness' portrait mode. What's greater, you furthermore mght get a hqvga 3-d intensity-sensing digital camera on the the front of the telephone, alongside the equal 10mp camera determined on the alternative s10 handsets. In case you've now not been keeping up, that takes the entire digital digicam assume the galaxy s10 5g to six. The galaxy s10 5g we got hands-on with changed into secured with a screen lock that Samsung wouldn't allow us to through, but we had been capable of jump into the virtual camera app from the lockscreen. It's smooth to use, and leaping between the primary lens and the broader sensors is short and smooth thanks to an on-display toggle. Moving all the manner to the extremely-extensive sensor, we have been impressed with the resource of simply how an entire lot of our surroundings the galaxy s10 5g became able to see. Shutter speeds were fast, and the live recognition heritage blur mode gives a live blur effect earlier than you hit the shutter button, which does an tremendous task of maintaining apart your in-consciousness difficulty from their background. We weren't able to absolutely test all six cameras on the s10 5g sooner or later of our confined time with the handset, but, so you'll need to await our in-intensity assessment to appearance how they perform.
Battery The Samsung galaxy S10 5G
The Samsung galaxy S10 5G comes with a large four,500mah battery- which, at the same time as you consider it, isn't a wonder. There's that large qhd+ show to run, along side a heap of energy underneath the hood and 5g connectivity – all matters as a way to take their toll at the battery. Samsung claims the galaxy s10 5g can be able to ultimate for twenty-four hours on a unmarried rate, and our time the usage of the handset up to now it seems to be proper. We used the Samsung galaxy S10 5G for three days in korea, in which we were using the handset's 5g connection as a hotspot for our other devices for numerous hours each day, and the battery life become brilliant. We managed to get thru an entire day (7am till midnight) on a single price, with still double digits left inside the tank by the point we were given to mattress. We'll keep to check the battery with our us overview unit to give you a clearer image of stylish usage, but the early symptoms and signs and symptoms are certainly top notch for the galaxy s10 5g battery. The s10 5g may be charged wirelessly, with guide for samsung rapid wi-fi charging 2. 0 generation permitting you to top it up in an green manner. Just just like the specific s10 handsets, the s10 5g additionally comes with wireless powershare, which lets you wirelessly charge extraordinary qi-well matched gadgets (which incorporates iphones!) through placing them on the rear of the samsung. This way you may plug the s10 5g into the mains through a cable, and then correctly use it as a wireless charging pad for different gadgets, together with the galaxy watch, galaxy buds, and other telephones you or your friends/family might also have. It isn't a very fast way of charging unique devices, however it does recommend you most effective want one electricity outlet and charging cable. Specifications and performance
There's loads of strength stuffed in the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, with a excessive-end octa-center processor joined by the usage of 8gb of ram to keep android nine pie ticking over well. It's the identical strength setup as within the galaxy s10 and s10 plus, handsets we have been capable of use more substantially, so the differences among them need to be minimal, and Samsung's android overlay ought to provide a clean, slick enjoy, with speedy load times and no signal of lag. You moreover mght get a generous 256gb or 512gb of garage within the galaxy s10 5g. 5g typical performance
We're presently reviewing the galaxy s10 5g within the us, however we've moreover spent some time with the handset in seoul, korea, wherein we had been capable of gather 5g speeds of up to 830mbps – although we did should discover the 5g coverage first. 5g coverage in cities that have the subsequent generation community, is patchy and you can discover yourself having to roam the streets so that you can find a exquisite 5g signal. While the galaxy s10 5g did manage to fasten onto a 5g community, app downloads we're nearly immediate (for the likes of whatsapp and instagram) and we were able to waft 4k video from youtube while not having to look ahead to it to buffer.
Early verdict
The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G likely won't take the area with the aid of storm, but it lays vital foundations for the destiny of cell. Its big display screen, and abundant electricity and storage, will probable appeal to electricity users keen to get aboard the 5g hype train as early as viable, but for maximum clients the standard s10 and s10 plus represent higher buys, and we observed the s10e to be a super value pick for people on a budget. Even whilst 5g does come on your location, the opportunity is that insurance may be constrained to essential towns, even as as we've noted this handset (and others find it irresistible) is costly, as will the 5g plan you'll want to decide to as a way to make the maximum of its 5g skills. It's going to be at least a twelve months in advance than 5g turns into massive and everyday sufficient to depend to all people but early adopters. And this is who this smartphone is for. A individual who needs the fantastic, would not need to take a hazard of the fold, and does now not want to watch for the Samsung Galaxy 5G take a look at 10.

Group subscriptions are a way for organizations to buy digital access for a specific group of members: employees, for example, or students at a school. When it's configured properly, a group subscription provides authorized access to a set number of users and allows an account administrator to manage the list of users. Group subscriptions might be paid in advance by the organization, or it might be paid for by subscribers (perhaps with a special discount offered to the group). In any case, it's important to manage these subscribers as a group when it comes to marketing and communications since it's likely they have similar interests in your subscription-based business.
Choose a Subscription Management Platform with Group Capabilities
To manage group subscriptions, look for a software solution that allows you to generate group packages and lets a group "owner" manage the members of the group. The solution should allow the group's billing to be automated according to the group owner's preferences. In addition, customization for group members is important. Ideally, group members should be able to manage their own subscriptions within the group.
Important Tips for Group Subscriptions
Create a customized sign-up process for the group. Choose a solution that allows for the creation of a unique signup form that each group's members can use to register into their group.
Find the right balance of group owner functionality and individual member flexibility. Group owners should be able to optionally add members from within their account. At the same time, each member should still remain a unique login and statistic so you can retain visibility into individual activity.
Set up group communications. This way, you can customize email responders and generate batch email blasts to target either the group's owners or the group's members and then populate the email body using a number of optional variables.
Market to the group. Look for a solution that allows you to create HTML email templates that can be reused quickly for future emails when it's time to market to the group as a whole. Email blasts can be scheduled for a future date and time, while responders are triggered instantly on various user actions.
Contact Subscription DNA
Cloud-based subscription management platform Subscription DNA provides subscription billing, membership, and paywall software that can be used to manage and customize group subscriptions. Enrollment tools designed to accommodate group subscriptions help organizations manage, bill and market to groups seamlessly, and provide the flexibility groups need to offer their members easy-to-manage subscriptions.

text: Germany - Ford has improved the safety of its muscle car as the best-selling Mustang earns a three-star rating in the latest EuroNCAP vehicle safety tests.Testing the updated MustangThe latest test was conducted on the 2017 Mustang 5.0 Fastback LHD after changes had been made to the vehicle. The updated Mustang sports Fords pre-collision assist and lane-keeping assist.Following the reassessment, EuroNCAP said that the car performed relatively well at the low-speeds typical of city driving at which many accidents occur. However, the system did not qualify for EuroNCAP points as the car's passive whiplash protection was inadequate.Interesting to note is that the Mustang scored 72% for adult occupants in terms of standard safety equipment, 78% for pedestrian safety, and only 32% for child occupants.Summary of the results as well as video by EuroNCAP:Check out the test below: CommentsEuroNCAP: "The passenger compartment of the Mustang remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger dummies."Analysis of the dummy data showed that the driver's head had 'bottomed out' the airbag i.e. there was insufficient pressure in the airbag to prevent the head from contacting the steering wheel through the deflated airbag material."The head of the passenger dummy also bottomed out the airbag against the dashboard, owing to insufficient inflation of the airbag and inadequate restraint for larger statures by the front passenger seatbelt load-limiter. Ford have shown improved performance from the airbags fitted to the latest Mustang, with bottoming-out avoided.""However, the frontal offset test was not repeated and the scores reflect the performance seen in the original test. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection of the driver was good apart from the chest, protection of which was adequate."Click here to read the original article
