It's been a hell of a comedown for Wallabies supporters, with the best chance of claiming the Bledisloe Cup in years swept away in no time at all as a rampant All Blacks side produced a 57-point turnaround to retain the trans-Tasman trophy.
There's probably a line there somewhere about the length of a week in international rugby, but the Perth win always meant the Wallabies were again only going to be as good as their next showing. Annoyingly, they've once again followed up an excellent performance with one well below standard.
And there's no escaping the magnitude: it was the Wallabies' biggest loss since New Zealand won the first Bledisloe Test 42-8 in Sydney in 2016, and the biggest Australian loss overall since South Africa ran up an embarrassing 53-8 scoreline over the Wallabies at Ellis Park in 2008.
The All Blacks answered the entirely valid questions from the Perth loss in emphatic fashion. While the Wallabies, sadly, turned all the answers they seemingly had last week into yet more questions.
The Wallabies' opening minutes in Auckland weren't great, with the kick-off mere inches away from going into touch before the ten-metre line, and then a pass from the first real midfield attacking raid being thrown forward.
From there, it only took another minute or two for an issue that has long-plagued the Wallabies to rear its ugly head again.
After Samu Kerevi made a half-break and presented quick ball for Nic White, James O'Connor found Kurtley Beale on his outside with the possibility of creating a two-on-one with Marika Koroibete to Beale's outside again.
Beale took the ball to the line as All Blacks winger Sevu Reece drifted across the Wallabies fullback's outside. Reece was engaged enough to turn back to his right and focus on Beale – meaning the pass to Koroibete needed to go then.
Instead, as Beale was brought to ground by Dane Coles, Reece focused on the ball. Koroibete had over-run the ruck, and with O'Connor still trailing on the inside, Reece pounced as Koroibete and O'Connor arrived.
The clean-out was OK, but Reece's presence was enough for Beale to pull the ball back a touch, which then made life difficult for White, as he tried to get his hands on the ball in the face of Coles and Sonny Bill Williams. The ball spilled between White's legs, and Williams may have even tackled White over the ball without possession, but the damage was done.
The ball took an eternity to come out, the momentum was lost, and the Wallabies had to reset through forward carriers.
The game was in the seventh minute, and already you could tell the attacking breakdown was once again going to be a problem.
Curious, a quick search back through articles written over the years returned more than a dozen references to a concerning lack of attacking breakdown presence in Wallabies losses.
After the home series to England in 2016 was lost in Melbourne, I wrote of "A lack of go-forward platform begat a passive breakdown presence begat a backline forced to carry into contact."
After the loss to Scotland in Sydney in 2017, they were similarly "a team who were way too passive at the breakdown, and particularly when in possession. They were frighteningly inaccurate."
Ditto the end-of-season loss to England at Twickenham last year, which confirmed Australia's worst international season on record, and came on the back of "a breakdown presence that lacked all game and no more so than in attack."
If I'd not seen this issue in a Wallabies performance before, I might've been concerned. But the truth of the matter is that the regularity of this is the single biggest issue facing the Wallabies for this year's Rugby World Cup.
There were countless examples in the Eden Park loss of Australian players not being in position, or simply not showing enough urgency to ensure that attacking ball was maintained at the ruck. Too many of those countless examples led to turnovers and All Blacks counter-attack.
Too many players stood off the ruck. Too many players expect someone else will get there in time. And not just forwards. Every player is guilty of it.
Just as they proved their set piece and attack is right up there with the best, the Wallabies also proved to themselves in Perth what a dominant breakdown can achieve, and the platform from which to attack with quick ball it provides. A week later, they'd forgotten about it.
David Pocock's return won't be enough to solve the problem. A massive knee-jerk reaction like parachuting Will Skelton in from nowhere won't either.
As it has always been, this is once again Michael Cheika's biggest priority to address, and he has less than a month to get it right before the RWC.
And make no mistake, RWC progress will not occur without it being fixed.

Lenard's Chicken mogul Gerardus Gerrit Heijne's appeal against a conviction for murdering his 25-year business and life partner has been dismissed.
May 11, 2010
Chicken mogul to remain in jail

Lenard's Chicken mogul Gerardus Gerrit Heijne's appeal against a conviction for murdering his 25-year business and life partner has been dismissed.
Heijne, 45, will remain in jail to serve out the remainder of his 13-and-a-half year prison sentence for strangling to death Frank Cianciosi, 51.
A Supreme Court jury found Heijne guilty of killing his "partner in life" inside their plush East Perth penthouse in January 2008, but stopped short of convicting him of wilful murder.
Heijne faced Chief Justice Wayne Martin, Justice Neville Owen and Justice Michael Buss in March to try to get his conviction quashed.
In court, Heijne's defence attorney David Gray argued the sentencing judge, John McKechnie, failed to clearly direct the jury on evidence given by pathologist Judith McCreath.
Dr McCreath could not determine how much pressure was needed to fracture Mr Cianciosi's Adam's apple or rule out that a heart attack may not have resulted in his death, Mr Gray said.
He argued that without having a clear cause of death, the prosecution was unable to prove that Heijne intended to kill his partner and instead relied on the damage to Mr Cianciosi's throat to show that, through grievous bodily harm, he did in fact commit murder.
"Nowhere does his Honour link arguments that support the lack of intent to cause grievous bodily harm to the facts of the case," Mr Gray said.
In its submission to the court, the defence also relied on arguments that the judge should have left it up to the jury to examine self-defense as possible grounds for reasonable doubt, since the only evidence given about Mr Cianciosi's death was Heijne's own account of the night.
During the trial Heijne claimed he had a violent relationship with Mr Cianciosi, who hit him that night, calling him 'nothing but a f$#ing dumb bodybuilder' and he was fearful of being struck again when he grabbed his partner around the throat.
However the prosecution used the relationship Heijne had with Mr X, his 19-year-old lover whose name was suppressed, as a motive for much of the discontent in his relationship with Mr Cianciosi and consequently his murder.
In handing down his judgement, Chief Justice Wayne Martin found: "The evidence of Dr McCreath, supported by the evidence of Mr Heijne himself, enabled the jury to find that he applied a degree of force to the neck of Mr Cianciosi.
"The fact that Dr McCreath was unable to particularise the precise degree of force applied does not mean, as counsel at trial and on appeal suggested, that the jury was 'in the dark' as to the degree of force applied.
"…However, that was only one part of the evidence from which the jury could infer that Mr Heijne intended to cause some form of grievous bodily harm to Mr Cianciosi.
"The other evidence which, in combination with Dr McCreath's evidence, was capable of sustaining that inference was: the evidence of animosity within the relationship between Mr Heijne and Mr Cianciosi arising from Mr Heijne's relationship with Mr X and their business disagreements; Mr Heijne's description of the struggle which preceded Mr Cianciosi's death; Mr Heijne's evidence that when he realised Mr Cianciosi was dead, he thought he must have strangled him; Mr Heijne's conduct before and after Mr Cianciosi's death, including his shopping trip with Mr X; Mr Heijne's admissions to Mr X and Jason Mitchell the following day, including his demonstration of his strangulation of Mr Cianciosi; and (Mr Cianciosi's brother-in-law) Mr Stefani's evidence of the lies told by Mr Heijne."
Chief Justice Martin concluded that despite there being some grounds for appeal in consideration of the fact that no injury was identified as the intended injury to cause grievous bodily harm, the matter was still to be dismissed since the whole appeal "should be dismissed generally".
Justice Owen and Justice Buss agreed.

I need to post it now now now!
It's not that meringues are my favourite. No, not at all. Especially a heap of cream is not something I am crazy about but… But! Chocolate Pavlova is just great! It won my taste buds right away!
Meringue is sweet because well… it's a meringue ;P Raspberries give sourness -> Perfect Combination!
And as it is with Pavlova, cripsy outside, chewy inside and these pieces of chocolate… Just the way I like it :)
The recipe comes from the well-known Nigella.
And two more things:
1° Just do not beat the meringue for too long at the end of beating :)
2° That's another possibility to use the whites after making yummy yummy apple pie :)

OK, you've got a grid that shows off all your favorite videos now, on the iPad and the web (and via a handy list-style feed on the iPhone). So your friends can watch your favorite picks in one place.
But you may be wondering, how do I get new videos onto my grid?
The easiest and most popular way, of course, is to simply like a video on Showyou. When you find something in your Showyou feed you want to share, or from Showyou search, just tap the heart button under the video, and it gets added to your grid.
That works whether you use Showyou on the iPad, iPhone, or via the web. Once you've "liked" the video, you can then let your friends know by sharing it out on Twitter and Facebook (we've provided handy buttons that will help you with that).
A second way to add videos is with our bookmarklet. Say you're out browsing the web, and see a great video you want to share. Just click the Showyou bookmarket and you'll be able to write a comment, add the video to your grid (or save it to watch later), and share it out to Facebook and Twitter, too. Get the bookmarklet here. You can share videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and TED with the bookmarklet.
You can also share videos you find while browsing the web by sending an email with the link to the video you want to share. Just send it to "email@example.com" using the email address you registered with. You'll find that comes in handy if you see a video on your iPad or iPhone (where it's harder to use the bookmarklet).
A final way to share videos via Showyou is through the social networks you connect to Showyou. Say, for example, you've connected your Twitter account with Showyou, and you share a video via Twitter. That'll also get shared on Showyou, too, without any additional effort.
Of course, once you've added some videos to your grid you'll want to let your friends know about it. Send out a link via Twitter, or Facebook. Or, better still, invite your friends to join Showyou.

It's the first week of school for a lot of kids this week and there are already fights over dress codes! In Illinois, students will be allowed to wear anything they want--even revealing clothes -- as long as it's not 'offensive' to certain groups. Meanwhile, kids in Georgia were disciplined for wearing "pro-Trump" shirts!
The incident that took place at Georgia high school was caught on tape. The district was late forced to apologize. READ MORE HERE:
On Tuesday's show, Tom wondered: wouldn't school uniforms all these problems? LISTEN as Tom explains why he thinks kids have too much freedom at school and stricter rules shouldn't stop with dress codes!

"I wanted to do a tribute album, but I was very clear that it is not going to be just another cover of the original album. I have always wanted to record a sweet, clean, simplified but yet intricate rendition of the Nancy Wilson/ Cannonball Adderley album."
"My Dad's music was a statement against dictatorship, injustice, intolerance, and against the destruction of democracy. The music remains relevant to our time and current administration. That's why it continues to be important."
"Charlie Haden is a significant figure in 20th Century music and has been a huge influence on me throughout my career. The theme of songs of protest that we are presenting at the festival also fits well with Haden's music we will be performing – LMO music inspired by the Spanish Civil war and the Cuban revolution amongst others, as well as some Australian songs of protest by the likes of Midnight Oil and Archie Roach."
"Like all art, the poem creates a space of its own and it is from within that space that it has inspired other artists of all kinds, including (lucky for us) Allan Browne and via him, the Allan Browne Quintet."

I snuck this CD on one night when friends were sitting in the backyard. No fanfare, no announcement. I was curious to see what effect, if any, the music might have on the listeners, a couple of friends with great ears and a love of fine music.

Managing Uncertainty: Adapting to and learning from the COVID-19 crisis – a Rotman Insights Webinar Series
Main Content
Toronto – A team of students from the Master of Financial Risk Management (MFRM) program at the University of Toronto's Rotman School of Management has won the regional final in Toronto to advance to the international final of the PRMIA Risk Management Challenge.
The Professional Risk Managers' International Association Risk Management Challenge (PRMIA) is an annual international competition for students from multiple disciplines to use their critical and creative thinking skills to solve realistic business problems with a risk management focus.
The Toronto regional final was held on February 24 with seven teams competing for the title. Four of the teams were from the Rotman School's first intake of the MFRM program – a new Master's program which focuses on preparing students to work in the field of risk management. Team Synergy from the Rotman MFRM program, with students Carmen Quiroz Vazquez, Zach Wang, Meng Zhu and Ava Athari, placed first in the challenge and will advance to the international final of the PRMIA Risk Management Challenge in London, UK on April 7. Another Rotman MFRM team, Team Rotmanagers, with students Judy Zhu, Zihan Liu, Jabir Sandhu, and Sijing Tao, placed second overall and also won the "most effective presentation" award. A third Rotman MFRM team, Team 'The Invincibles' with students Erica Wang, Jeffrey Du, Xuefei Yin, and Hanna Kalif, won 'best strategy' prize.
In the international final, Team Synergy will compete against the winners of regional rounds from London, Russia, Edmonton, Chicago, New York, Vancouver, Montreal, and Netherlands.
This win follows an earlier success for the program in November when another team of students from the MFRM program came out on top in the TD Securities Risk Management Case Competition. The TD securities competition tested students' abilities to critically analyze and evaluate risk management scenarios and the winners were treated to a day job-shadowing analysts working in different areas of the bank.
An intensive eight-month program for recent graduates with solid quantitative skills from undergraduate university programs, the MFRM is designed to prepare students for careers in risk management and trading. The unique curriculum combines coursework, an applied project with a company in the field, workshops on leadership and communications skills as well as a speaker series featuring practitioners. Further information, including how to apply, is online.
The Rotman School of Management is located in the heart of Canada's commercial and cultural capital and is part of the University of Toronto, one of the world's top 20 research universities. The Rotman School fosters a new way to think that enables our graduates to tackle today's global business and societal challenges. For more information, visit www.rotman.utoronto.ca.

Queen Tamara by Pirosmani
Tamar ( (c. 1160 – 18 January 1213), of the Bagrationi dynasty, was Queen Regnant of Georgia from 1184 to 1213. Tamar presided over the "Golden age" of the medieval Georgian monarchy.Her unique position as the first woman to rule Georgia in her own right was emphasized by the title mep'e ("king"), commonly afforded to Tamar in the medieval Georgian sources.
Tamar was proclaimed heir apparent and co-ruler by her reigning father George III in 1178, but she faced significant opposition from the aristocracy upon her ascension to full ruling powers after George's death. Nevertheless, Tamar was successful in neutralizing this opposition and embarked on an energetic foreign policy aided by the downfall of the rival powers of the Seljuqids and the Byzantine Empire. Supported by a powerful military élite, Tamar was able to build on the successes of her predecessors to consolidate an empire which dominated the Caucasus until its collapse under the Mongol attacks within two decades after Tamar's death.

With so many different fin options it is possible to tune your riding style to the conditions that are laid out for you on any given day. If you want to be sticking close to the pocket of the wave then the quad setup allows you to push tighter turns much more vertical for that more surf style. A perfect example was when Kauli won the PWA Cape Verde event a few years ago on the quad because he was able to ride the waves with much more surf style, keeping right in the critical section of the wave and launching huge aerials off the latest of hits right underneath the lip.
My personal opinion is that there is no right or wrong about riding a wave, you choose how you want to do it on that day. Competition might direct you to a certain way but if competition is far away from your mind and you want to go out and just slide the board along the lip of the wave for as long as you can then that's what wave riding is about to you. Where board shapes are now so closely related and construction is really optimised it seems that fins are perhaps one of the greatest variables now. For a pro, their lives are great, they can have custom boards made for each event they go to should they wish and they can opt for any fins they want on any shape board, their variables are somewhat larger than the everyday windsurfer, that's why the 5 fin box has developed, it's allowing every windsurfer out there the chance to have a board that works at any spot they visit any time of the year.

About Derrick Carter
As one of the people who helped spur the 1990s house revival in Chicago, Derrick Carter produces a hearty blend of house and techno -- i.e. dreamy, lofty house music full of funk and grooves, with complex beat arrangements more rooted in Techno. Once described by Detroit's Richie Hawtin (a.k.a. Plastikman; Plus 8 Records, Minus Records) as "America's last true underground DJ," Carter has produced a number of hits since launching his career in the late 1980s, including "An Open Secret," "I'm Sorry," and "Limbo In Slo Mo." Carter records under a variety of names (including Rednail, Symbols and Instruments, Oneiro and Tone Theory), has collaborated with numerous techno DJs and producers (including Mark Farina, Luke Solomon, Chris Nazuka and John Griffin) on numerous house tracks, and has founded two labels (Blue Cucaracha and Classic). Carter's latest work is a raucous romp through techno and acid house/deep house territory, and continues to prove his talent.

Deviation from an Ethical Code in Euripides' Medea
At first glance, the system of ethics presented by Euripides in his masterpiece Medea seems to parallel the systems found in several other tragedies of ancient Greek theatre. This system of helping friends and harming enemies, which recurs throughout many of tragedians' works, attempts to rationalize the excessive violence and hostility (Blundell 1989). This system falls short in Medea, however, as Medea is forced to decide a course of action which both ways will harm her friends and help her enemies. Therefore, both Medea and Jason must be driven by an alternate motivation, which turns out to be a utilitarian position in which all that matters is personal success and happiness, regardless of consequences. These ethical overtones, however, contrast a great deal with Sophocles' ethical standards portrayed in the Antigone. Through an examination and interpretation of the actions of principle characters from Medea and Antigone, it is brought to attention that Euripides finds Sophocles' system inadequate.
Medea is in a situation where regardless of her actions, she and her friends will suffer and her enemies aided. If she kills her children she will harm her enemy Jason, but she will be forced to endure the pain of murdering her...

Outlet Structure Repairs – Warwick RI
900 Centerville Road
Warwick, RI
Completion Date: 2006
Total Project Value: $70,000
Relevant Project Features:
- Observed the Outlet Structure and Outlet Pipe Underwater Video Inspection
- Prepared Plans and Specifications for Construction
- Obtained Environmental Permitting
- Provided Construction Observation
RT Group, Inc. (RTG) was retained by the Kent County YMCA to undertake outlet structure repairs at their Seasonal Pond located in Warwick, Rhode Island.
Repairs were needed because the existing gate valve at the outlet structure was leaking at a rate of about 100 to 200 gallons per minute, and the Seasonal Pond did not hold water during the summer of 2005.
RTG completed the inspection of the outlet structure, and prepared plans and specifications for the installation of a new stainless steel sluice gate, a new galvanized bar rack structure, new aluminum pipe railing, a new locking aluminum access hatch, and a new outlet pipe safety grate.
As a part of this project, RTG obtained the RIDEM wetland permit, coordinated with the local Building Official, obtained bids and recommended a Contractor for award, and provided Construction Observation.

the journey of a boy turning eleven on 9/11
"A thoroughly engaging piece about a very difficult subject. Very well written – funny and emotional from beginning to end. And I loved Radar."

The Book
This is a story about bullies and heroes. About tragedy and hope. About enemies with two legs and friends with four, and pesky little sisters and cranky old men, and an unexpected lesson in kindness delivered with a slice of pizza.
This is Eleven: the journey of a boy turning eleven on 9/11.

Chapter Excerpts
You Smell Like a Monkey
Chapter 4 excerpt
8:05 a.m.
The yellow bus rumbled through a tumbledown section of town, an industrial no-man's-land of railroad tracks, warehouses, and empty factories with broken windows and rusted steel roofs. The bus didn't stop here, because no kids lived here.
The sound of the tires changed to a high-pitched hum as the bus crossed a tall bridge that soared over a rail yard and a narrow river. Alex turned to look out the window …READ MORE

"Here, Max."
Alex called to the dog, who had stopped to sniff a light pole. The dog didn't respond but moved on to investigate a trash can.
Nunu looked at him funny. "Who's Max?"
"I'm trying out my top ten dog names. Does he look like a Max to you?"
Alex made a face. "Muffin?" …READ MORE
The Man in the White Shirt
Chapter 13 excerpt
10:02 a.m.
The Man in the White Shirt staggered through the choking gray cloud. He couldn't see where he was going. He couldn't see anything.
He nearly crashed into a light pole that appeared a foot in front of him.
He heard others around him, panting as they ran.
Someone slammed into him from behind and then disappeared into the cloud …READ MORE

Old China hands will tell you that getting a feel for one of the world's most ancient civilisations and fastest-growing modern economies takes a lifetime – if it can be done at all. But what if, like me, you only have a long weekend as part of a longer tour – so that's four millennia of civilisation in as many days...
The Forbidden City and the Great Wall will keep, they're not going anywhere. Unlike Shanghai, one of the world's fastest-changing cities – my plan is to fast forward into the future there, then slam on the brakes in Hangzhou. As Kyoto is to Tokyo, Hangzhou is to Shanghai, its temples and forests where many Chinese think the ancient soul of the country lives on.
Landing refreshed at Shanghai's Pudong airport and taking a taxi into town along the spanking new 10-lane expressways, I have to adjust to the sense of being in a moving bubble of endless high-rise buildings appearing out of the white haze and fading away long before the horizon.
Eventually the buildings grow even taller and the traffic denser, choked with everything from limos to antique pushbikes. After this arrival, the calm grey stone courtyard of the cool new PuLi hotel feels like a Zen garden, so I drop the bags (the "guanjia" butler will unpack if you've splashed out on a Club suite) and, as it is getting towards dusk, run a bath and relax watching the city turn from day to night.
As the skyscrapers' lights twinkle on, and the cars stream endlessly on the expressways and giant TV screens come to life, I feel the rising sense of the excitement that has drawn travellers here from East and West for centuries.
But the city, I quickly realise, isn't a conventional tourist destination – most visitors are still from other parts of China, together with a rich mix of business people rushing to trade money, microchips and a million furry dashboard ornaments. But there's a vast amount to see – so it is time to jump out of the bath and plunge in to Shanghai.
Just like every European since the first traders settled, my first stop has to be the Bund; the celebrated strip of art-deco buildings (of which Shanghai has more than anywhere else) along the Huangpu riverfront. An expat-style cocktail in the Waldorf precedes a stroll up to the newly restored Peace Hotel to see if the ancient (and unrestored) jazz band are playing in the bar.
Across the road is the entrance to the intriguing Sightseeing Tunnel. An escalator takes me down to a land of tack, where a silver pod waits to wobble through a tunnel under the river and transport me to giddying light shows, inflatable figures and a surreal voice-over describing the history of the world since "nascent magma".
Bizarre, but the perfect way to arrive at the Pudong side of the river – you emerge surrounded by an architectural bonanza, including the Orient Pearl tower (a Sixties vision of the future) and one of the world's tallest buildings, the World Financial Centre.
Next is dinner, and in Shanghai there's plenty of choice – the upscale Mesa, perhaps, or the new Shanghai Tang Café in Xintiandi? I manage to get in to Kee, one of the dining clubs favoured by the city's new elite, located in a pair of recently restored villas (by Dunhill – a hugely popular Western brand here) from the glory days of Shanghai's French Concession.
Fighting off jet lag, it is back to the Bund for dancing to a swing band at the Glamour Bar and a cocktail over the never-ending traffic of the river, tugboat exhausts glowing red as they haul gigantic laden barges upstream. After a last look in at the Drop club it is time to retire to bed in the warm embrace of The PuLi.
The next day is set aside for Shanghai's most visible economic activity – shopping. It's startling quite how many Prada, Gucci and Patek Philippe shops there are – if you're into big-ticket purchases you'll find plenty to choose from on the Bund or Shaanxi Road.
The old French Concession – a more relaxed area of tree-lined, low-rise streets that hasn't yet been swept away by China's constant bulldozing of the past – has an interesting mix of funky and functional, fashionable and the fake.
There are still roadside fruit vendors and scooter repairs, too – but even their prices have shot up in the past year as the economy has boomed. And be sure not to miss Tianzifang, where old factories have been turned into a hive of up-and-coming new designers.
Shanghai street food is perfect for this frenetically fast-moving city – at lunchtime you can queue with the locals at standups such as Yang's, but I need a good break and find a seat and watch chefs hand-make little steamed dumplings of loveliness called xiaolongbao at the famous Din Tai Fung.
Later, the PuLi's "urban resort" – restful spa and a big, beautiful pool – are just the thing to unwind and prepare for the next day's travel… through time as well as space.
To picture Shanghai's Hongqiao railway station imagine the biggest airport terminal you've ever been to and then of trains that are less like trains and more like aircraft without wings; one of which is going to whisk us to Hangzhou in just 35 minutes. It's the same distance as from Birmingham to London but at £13, first class, considerably cheaper.
The city never really ends as we accelerate away; the "countryside" amounts to a few more gaps between buildings with a few fields mixed in, but this is what it means to be in one of the most populous places on Earth – Shanghai is nearing the 20 million mark.
There are no shanty towns, at least this close to the city; just tidy apartment block after tidy apartment block. The landscape only begins to become more mountainous and wooded as we approach Hangzhou, a city of a mere six million inhabitants.
Urban Hangzhou is worth a look – it's the scissor-making capital of China, among other things, and there's a fascinating traditional medicine market – but I am more interested in the bamboo forests and tea plantations above West Lake, the single most popular visitor destination in China.
To many, this area is the country's spiritual heart, where legends and myths surround the temples of Longyi built on the "Peak Flying from Afar", where more than 300 stone Buddhas have been carved since AD376.
Amanfayun is a farming village converted into a resort hotel, with carefully restored wood and mud-wall houses scattered along the centuries-old path leading down to the temples. Cobbled pathways run between them, opening into quiet courtyards filled with birdsong.
The simple elm furniture and subdued lighting in each room seems a world away from the glitz of Shanghai, and climbing through the dawn mist to one of the temples for the monks' morning chanting feels like a powerful link to ancient tradition. (It also sets you up for the Aman's excellent breakfast.) A spa with traditional wooden baths and an outdoor pool, placed out of sight of the monks, relaxes things even more – enough to appreciate fully the tea from the hotel's own plantation or even start learning calligraphy in the village library.
A couple of days here is the perfect counterpoint to the acceleration that happens as soon as the train hurtles you back to Shanghai.
By visiting both cities you compress past millennia and a snapshot of what may well be the dominant culture of the next, into one brief visit. I get back on the plane exhausted, exhilarated – and determined to spend longer in China next time.

I am once again heart sick after hearing our current president openly mock and make fun of a sexually assaulted female who was brave enough to tell her story. I am heart sick because I have been in the room when a sexually assaulted person is brave enough for the first time to say, "I am a victim." I am heart sick because I can vividly recall the fresh tears of assault victims as they openly weep due to the horrific trauma of being raped or abused. I am heart sick because I have a daughter and I shudder at the thought of her growing up in a world where an assault victim is openly made fun of by a person in a position of high power.
A person might respond, "What about the politics of it all? What if the democrats are trying to sabotage the GOP's right to hold a vote on the Supreme Court? What if she's not telling the truth?" I'm not focused on politics and I believe that Dr. Ford is telling the truth. Regarding the Supreme Court, I believe the president's words today are about something much bigger than the Supreme Court. They're about loving the abused, the raped, and the assaulted the way Jesus would. Sadly, the president's comments are perfect examples as to why so many sexually assaulted victims choose to not come forward. (See link below for further understanding as to why victims often do not report.) And, his words will delegitimize future proclamations of being a victim.
If you are a Christ-follower, I encourage you to think about this question, "How would Jesus respond to Dr. Ford?" Think about the Woman-at-the-Well. Reflect on the story of Mary Magdalene. I'm afraid our current president would make fun of the Women-at-the-Well's water jar or mock Mary Magdalene's past. Again, if you are a Christ-follower, please compare the actions of Christ to the actions of the current president when considering women who have been sexually assaulted.
My heart aches. The blank stares, the bodily convulsions from violent weeping, and the terrifying flashbacks of the victims I've worked with will not allow me to be quiet about the president's words today. My faith in Jesus will not allow me to stay quiet when an assault victim is mocked. Jesus calls us to a higher standard. Lord, may that change begin with me.

Advertising Options
Media Place Partners has decades of experience on staff, in-house, and ready to serve you. Our expertise extends across the entire digital advertising and traditional advertising landscapes. We're experts in all forms of advertising, and offer an unmatched holistic approach to every advertising campaign we touch. Our focus is not on our own profit margin, or what flavor of the month everyone is chasing, but the right media and the right velocity to hit your performance goals. Check out our advertising options for your business below,?or dig into our tried-and-true process.
Display Advertising
Display is a fancy name for banner ads – yes, those banner ads, the ones you see everywhere. We have display advertising to thank for the nature and success of the internet. Without them, most websites wouldn't exist in the form they do today.
MPP has the access and relationships to place ads on nearly any website in existence. In fact, our parent company Adtegrity has been working in display ads since the beginning and has logged nearly two decades of experience. That's a whole lot of banner ads.
TV Advertising
MPP has full access to broadcast TV and can place your commercials with local and national providers, on specific shows, at specific times. We can also reach thousands upon thousands of "cord cutters" through devices like Apple TV, ROKU, Amazon Fire Stick, and more. Known as OTT or over the top, these devices give you access like never before to advertise on shows, reruns, binges, you name it.
Video Advertising
Video advertising is a huge market opportunity not only because the numbers of users watching videos is staggering, but also because video creates brand retention. 80% of internet users have watched a video ad on a website they visited in the last 30 days, and half of those took action. MPP is ready to deliver you a piece of that action.
We'll get you up to speed on the right sizes, formats, and lengths that work best along with a slew of best practices geared to provide maximum performance.
Out of Home Advertising
Out of home (OOH) is a diverse mix of billboards, street furniture, transit, and other place-based media. It's big, it's bold, and people spend a lot of time with it – in fact, it's second only to TV. New technologies like digital boards have made OOH more accessible than ever. MPP got its start all those years ago working with OOH, and we're ready to put that expertise to work for you on your next campaign.
Print Advertising
Print's not dead.
Advertising in magazines, trade publications, newspapers, and periodicals still carries weight and can reach some audiences that are hard to find through other methods. When that's the case, MPP has the skills and tools to place your print advertising in the right publications at the right time.
Mobile Advertising
It's official: mobile devices outnumber human beings. That's right: over the past three decades, smartphones and tablets have gone from a glimmer in Steve Jobs' eye to over 8 billion devices. If that makes one thing clear, it's that mobile advertising is booming.
MPP gives you access to over 2 billion impressions monthly, targeting your audience based on device, OS, carrier, or browser. Layer on advanced targeting strategies and you've got a winning combination.
Radio Advertising
8 out of 10 Americans believe that listening to commercials in exchange for free radio is a fair deal. That's great news for advertisers. Radio is a low-cost and efficient way to reach your target market. MPP offers complete terrestrial, satellite, and Internet radio (think Pandora, Spotify, Google Play) advertising options as part of your holistic advertising plan. If your campaign has an audio component, MPP will get it placed and running in the right markets, on the right stations, at the right time.
One of the first things most people do when opening a web browser is search. Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is an important component of most advertising campaigns. MPP can assist you in gaining additional reach and generating consistent traffic by delivering relevant results to users actively searching for products or services like yours.
Our comprehensive service is designed to work from a baseline you already have, or to clear the decks and start fresh.
Native Advertising
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr all reach users of their sites and apps with advertisements that behave like natural content. Other website publishers are following suit and offer an ever-expanding number of these ad placements designed not to disrupt the user experience. Now you have the ability to reach the visitors of these sites with Native ad placements that look, feel, and act like the other content on the site the user is viewing.
Native advertising performs superbly for branding and top-of-mind campaigns as well as delivers amazing results for Retargeting initiatives.

Valentines day meant something nice had to be made for Mr C when he returned from his usual SUnday morning football. I spotted the recipe for chilli and chocolate muffins in the February edition of Country Living magazine and thought that they would fit the bill perfectly – Mr C being a fan of home baking, chocolate and chilli.
Very simple to make as the recipe only took a few minutes. I did decide not to include the whole bird's eye chillies on the top of each, but otherwise followed it to the letter. I'm therefore not at all sure as to why they rose and spread in quite the way they did in the oven. Most strange! Tasted good though, with a nice chilli kick. One thing we did agree on though is that Waitrose cocoa powder is not a measure on the Green and Black's one that we had been using in previous recipes. The chocolate was just no where near as intense as we might have wanted. Either more cocoa next time, or time to buy some more of the Green and Black's variety!
The knitted love heart seemed an appropriate addition here and was knitted from a pattern I found on the Children's Society website as part of a sponsored campaign that they are running.

Storm Active: June 5-7
Around June 3, a large area of disturbed weather formed over the northwestern Caribbean Sea. The next morning, a broad low-pressure center developed in association with the system just east of the Yucatan Peninsula. Moving over land that day, it was unable to organize further and convection remained over water well to the east. On June 5, however, the center emerged into the Gulf of Mexico. Shortly after, the low had acquired enough organization to be classified Tropical Depression Three. Due to shear out of the west, the depression's thunderstorm activity, though significant, was located in a north-to-south linear band over 100 miles east of the circulation center. Despite this disorganization, hurricane hunter aircraft discovered winds to tropical storm force that afternoon, prompting an upgrade to Tropical Storm Colin. The formation of the year's third named storm on June 5 broke the record for earliest third tropical storm, set on June 12, 1887. This record was then surpassed by Tropical Storm Cristobal in 2020.
Colin exhibited a very curious structure for a tropical cyclone. Overnight and into June 6, it was apparent that there were at least two distinct low-level centers widely separated from one another, both of which lay outside the intense area of convection to the east. The size of the system and its disheveled state were prohibitive to significant strengthening. Despite this, the impacts of the storm remained: by June 6, with Colin still over water, heavy rains spread throughout much of Florida, Georgia, and even South Carolina. The system consolidated a bit that day into a single circulation, albeit with several small-scale gyres. Meanwhile, it was accelerating rapidly toward the northeast. That evening, the center of Colin made landfall in the Big Bend region of Florida (although most of the rainfall had moved off to the east by this time).
Though at its peak intensity as a tropical system of 50 mph, the system was more disorganized than ever as it sped off to the northeast, quickly emerging off the coast of the Carolinas early on June 7. At this point, Colin was rapidly losing tropical characteristics, and it become post-tropical near the Outer Banks later that morning. By the afternoon, the system had moved away from land, still intensifying as a post-tropical system. It continued to speed toward the far northern Atlantic before being absorbed a few days later.
Colin remained disorganized during its brief stint as a tropical system. The above satellite image, taken June 6, shows multiple vortices exposed to the west of the convective canopy.
Colin made landfall in Florida on June 6 before quickly moving out to sea.

Lamborghini Egoista Finds its Home at the Museum
Lamborghini turned 50 years old last year and the one-off Egoista supercar helped the automaker celebrate its birthday in a big way. We wondered what would become of the special Lambo and now we know, as the automaker just announced it will display the Lamborghini Egoista at its museum in Sant-Agata Bolognese, Italy.
Egoista may be Italian for "selfish", but it will share the museum halls with other stars from Lamborghini's past, including the 350 GT, Sesto Elemento, and a one-off Miura concept. Late last year Lamborghini and Google worked together to produce a virtual tour of the Lamborghini Museum via Google's Street View. That said, the new addition to the museum will hopefully warrant an update to the Street View tour for those who can't make it to Sant-Agata Bolognese anytime soon.
One-off Lambos have always been excessively garish and the Egoista definitely didn't disappoint. Essentially a fighter jet on wheels, the Egoista featured a center-mounted driving position with the driver protected from the elements by a cockpit dome. The driver can only enter and exit the cockpit by removing the steering wheel, while carbon-fiber and aluminum is used to keep the supercar's weight down. Powering the Egoista is a 600-hp, 5.2-liter V-10.

A 17-Year Old Russian Powerlifter
05:59 17-Year Old Russian , body builder , inspiration , Powerlifter No comments
This is not photoshopped. Her name is Yulia Viktorovna Vins, or Julia Vins, and she is well known in the online bodybuilding communities. She is an extraordinary 17 year old girl, who became internet famous after a couple of her photos went viral. And this is absolutely understandable – she is really showing an impressive combination of a sweet doll-like face and a mind-boggling physique. And the most amazing thing is that this girl claims that she never dreamed of becoming a famous bodybuilder or power-lifter when she first began working out – she was simply doing it because she wanted to feel more self-confident.

Elyse Gordon, The Justice Lab: Developing Dialogues for Empathy, Justice and Critical Inquiry.
Elyse Gordon, a PhD. student at the University of Washington, Seattle, has a long history of involvement in activist and philanthropic endeavors, many of which have been aimed at tackling issues such as environmental, racial, and/or social injustices. Now, Elyse is turning her attention to harnessing the millennial generation's deep-seeded desire to affect meaningful change in society by hosting a year-long salon series entitled, Justice Lab: Developing Dialogues for Empathy, Justice and Critical Inquiry.
When asked about her motivations for creating the Justice Lab, Elyse explained, "The Millennial Generation is adept at hashtags and digital campaigns to show our politics. Yet, there is a deep gap between these types of click-based actions and more grounded, place-based action that requires us to make sacrifices, to welcome discomfort, and to challenge the dominant paradigm that oppresses many for the benefit of a few."
The Justice Lab will host small 8-10 person salon-style discussions at various locations in Seattle with a particular focus on addressing issues pertaining to social, racial, economic, and environmental justice. Elyse hopes that The Lab's conversations over society's most poignant issues will help to foster a space that can bring people and ideas together in new ways, inspiring participants to take an active role in affecting change within their communities.
Funding from The Pollination Project will be used to purchase supplies for the salon, as well as for web site design and promotional materials.
For more information on Elyse or The Justice Lab, please see Elyse Gordon's website or follow her on Twitter.

Questions about recovering files from an External HDDHello all, Well, I performed the recovery process for a second time this morning and surprisingly I was able to recover most of my previously deleted files/data (I would say over 90%). I am very excited and I would just like to say Recuva is a wonderful program! The files/data I was not able to recover had already been overwritten, most likely from the defrag that occurred a few days prior. However, as I said, the amount of unrecoverable files/data was minuscule compared to what I had feared. I used the Recuva Startup Wizard, I selected "All Files" for the 'file type' that I was trying to recover, and I recovered them directly from my External HDD (where the files/data had accidentally been deleted) so therefore I did not create a Virtual Hard Disk (although I would have if my primary drive had enough free space). Thankfully I was able to select the exact location/directory path from where the files/data had been deleted. Lastly, I did not run a Deep Scan but I was still able to recover more than I had imagined. Oh, and also, I recovered the files to a different drive (my primary drive) other than the one that once held the lost files/data (my External HDD) upon the suggestion of Recuva. I own and use the Professional Edition/version of Recuva. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask and I will answer them to the best of my ability. @Augeas Thank you once again for taking the time to read my posts and answer all of my questions. If anyone is experiencing a situation similar to the one I had recently found myself in, I suggest you download Recuva and recover your files/data as soon as possible! Take care everyone.
Questions about recovering files from an External HDDThank you once more for the information you have provided. I can't believe I didn't think this was a possibility. However, I'll see what I can recover and if it's really that bad, I'll worry about it then. Once again, I'll update this thread once I'm finished. I've since safely removed my External HDD from its USB port and its not going to be plugged back in until it's time to launch another recovery effort which will either be here in about 30 minutes, or tomorrow morning. Thanks again.
Questions about recovering files from an External HDDThank you so much for your reply. Unfortunately, this drive is included in Windows' regular defrags and the last time it was defragmented was on April 12. Needless to say, this was AFTER the files/data had been deleted. I'm guessing this is bad, right? Well, I guess the only thing I can do now is try to run a regular scan, hope Recuva doesn't freeze up on me again, and most importantly, hope that any defragmentation didn't cause any permanent file/data loss. I'll post back to the thread with my results once they are available. Once again, thank you very much for your response. I really appreciate it. Cheers.
Questions about recovering files from an External HDDHello, Several days ago the majority of my important files that I back-up to an External HDD on a daily basis were accidentally deleted. I have verified that most (if not all) can be recovered using Recuva Pro. However, when attempting to recover my files after performing a scan, the recovery process froze after 4% of my files had been recovered. I can only assume this was because I was actively using/working on the same computer that was running Recuva. I understand this is discouraged, but for one, I am not trying to recover files off of my local machine, and for two, I'm mostly active and working on a remote server that I am connected to via Windows Remote Desktop Connection. I am going to go ahead and perform another recovery attempt to see if it freezes again. However, I have some questions I'd like to ask the community in advance. 1) Due to the fact the deleted files were on an External HDD and I have since stopped using this External HDD (I have not written any new files to the drive, nor have I even read/opened any of the remaining files), I feel I'm safe even though several days have passed since the files were accidentally deleted. I'm wondering if there is any situation and/or risk that would make the files harder to recover? 2) Right now, I have the External HDD plugged into one of my USB ports but as previously stated, nothing is being read from or written to the drive. Does this pose any threat/risk to any future recovery attempts? 3) Ever since the files were accidentally deleted, I have safely removed/ejected the External HDD from my computer (I have since reinserted it into my computer), and I also inserted and safely removed it from an HP laptop and an HP All-in-One PC). Does inserting and safely removing the drive into any computer/device pose any threat/risk to any future recovery attempts? 4) I'm planning on running a Deep Scan when I make my next recovery attempt, even though a regular scan seemed to recover a decent portion of the files. My logic is based on being able to increase my chances of recovering as many files as possible. My logic also includes the fact that I cannot remember every single file that has been deleted (there were a lot). Does it make any sense to do this or should a Deep Scan only be performed in the event that all of the deleted files were not recovered? 5) Does executing multiple recovery attempts pose any threat/risk to any future recovery attempts? Those are all the questions I have for now, and hopefully forever. I feel it's worth noting that this is my first time trying to perform any type of file recovery process. Right after this happened, I read over the Recuva Documentation, however not only am I a very thorough person, more so these files are very important to me. Thank you to all of you who have taken the time to open and read my thread. I am definitely open to (and I welcome) any suggestions and/or possible instances of going about the recovery process a different/better way. Cheers. P.S. I have attached a summary image from Speccy displaying the specs of the computer I attempted the initial recovery on, and this will be the same machine in which I'll be using when attempting the second recovery as well.
Hello all, I have encountered a unique problem. I backup all of my data/files on my personal PC to an external HDD on a daily basis. Well, recently, for some unknown reason, most of my backed-up files/data on this external HDD were deleted. As I'm sure most of you know, when it comes to an external HDD, there is no such thing as simply restoring any deleted files/data from your recycle bin. So I ran Recuva on my personal PC, which I must say is modern, powerful, and quite robust, yet at the same time I was working on my PC. I know this can cause problems due to overwriting, but since I am trying to recover from an external that I am no longer using, I figured it wouldn't hurt and as far as I know, it didn't. However, if it's still a bad idea to work on my PC while Recuva is trying to recover files from an external HDD that is not (and has not been) in use since the files/data mysteriously disappeared, please let me know. So what's the problem? Well, Recuva always ends up freezing around 4% (without Deep Scan enabled). I cannot say for sure that this is directly related to me working on my PC at the same time because I'm really not working on my PC all that much. I lease a dedicated server that I connect to via Windows Remote Desktop Connection and that's where my attention is generally focused. Anyway, taking a break from my work to let Recuva run on my PC by itself (when I'm not even sure me using my PC at the same time is causing the problem) is not an option as my (now old) personal HDD just failed on me a couple of weeks ago and because of this I am way behind on my work. So I decided to purchase a secondary HDD to be added to the dedicated server I lease. I figured I'd create a second User account on my server (with Administrator rights, etc.) and this is just what I did. My plan was to let Recuva run on the temporary/second user account while its session was disconnected and I could still be connected to my main Administrator account session and if Recuva would only allow me to do this, I'm 99.9% sure there would be no issues. For those of you who aren't familiar with Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (the version I happen to be running on my server), it's nothing like the Home Editions of Windows which practically, well...suck. I'm not saying Windows Server is better than Linux (because in my humble opinion, it isn't), but that's a topic for a different day. But with Windows Server, you can have several Users all logged in and connected at once with no issues, or you can even disconnect a session and all of your programs will still function as normal while the session is disconnected just so long as you didn't actually logout of the session (or end it completely). Okay, so let's get down to my root problem. I'm able to view my external HDD just fine within File Manager on my server, as well as two empty secondary drives (one is 1 TB, the other is 2 TB). I am running Recuva Pro, and I have never had any issues while running any Piriform products on any version of Windows Server, so that's definitely not the issue. Please have a look at the images below to see exactly what the issue is. Below I am trying to select my external HDD as the source I need to recover my files/data from Please notice that I am not allowed to click "OK" However, if I select my C, D, or F drives, I am able to click the "OK" button Please remember drives C, D, and F are local (on my server) and Drive E is remote (from my personal PC) Lastly, I am also not able to create a VDI of my external I am only able to create a VDI of the drives local to/on my server In conclusion, I am guessing Recuva is doing this for a reason, correct? I'm pretty sure it is, because that is the only logical explanation at this point. However, I thought I'd post regardless to see if anyone knows of a workaround...that is, if one happens to exist. If I'm lucky, what I'm trying to do is actually possible, I'm just going about it the wrong way, and that's another reason I decided to post here. Thank you very much to all who have read through this very long post. If anyone is able to provide a solution, or even just some suggestions, I'm all ears and I would appreciate it more than you would ever know. Even if your solution/suggestion(s) involves a totally different way about doing this (sans the dedicated server or what have you), I want to hear it. Thanks again!
★ IMPORTANT ★ Bitdefender says CCleaner v5.35 is infected★ IMPORTANT UPDATE ★ ★ Bitdefender reverses its previous decision, declares both downloads clean ★ Included below is a quote from the latest Email I have received from Bitdefender concerning this matter. Therefore, of course this means that after they reanalyzed both files, they came to a different conclusion stating they weren't malicious after all.
★ IMPORTANT ★ Bitdefender says CCleaner v5.35 is infectedUPDATE: Bitdefender has replied and confirmed on their end that they have found CCleaner v5.35 to be malicious. You can read their response below. My Conclusion: I am still not going to say it is malicious for sure, however Bitdefender was right about v5.33 and I didn't believe them and whitelisted the URL just so I could download it. Luckily, I am running a 64-bit system. However, for this reason, and the fact that Bitdefender has very good detection rates, I'm going to believe what they're telling me and wait until another (clean) version is released before I upgrade.
★ IMPORTANT ★ Bitdefender says CCleaner v5.35 is infectedHmm, I'm not sure. Good question. Below are two separate VirusTotal scans. VirusToal #1 - hxxps://d1k4dgg08m176h.cloudfront.net/ccsetup535.exe https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/d04051d014f2efc629e29f160f893db8ab6b6416c7c31074173297a7e5fa4aee/detection > Bitdefender detects as malware VirusToal #2 - hxxp://download.piriform.com/ccsetup535.exe https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/d17372ea1f8205acbdf48c7d64cc2a4cce18e977790215e3a08d2a0dac059f13/detection > Bitdefender does not detect as malware. Blueliv detects as malicious, but I've never even heard of them
★ IMPORTANT ★ Bitdefender says CCleaner v5.35 is infectedYes, it's weird. I have had Bitdefender block files/URLs on my PC but when I scan those same files/URLs with VirusTotal, Bitdefender reports them as clean. This is precisely why I submitted the URL to Bitdefender as a False Positive. Furthermore, this is not the first time I have submitted a False Positive to them. If it is indeed a False Positive, they will notify me with the results and promptly update their definitions. Note: I have CCleaner v5.34 installed on my PC and a separate laptop and both Bitdefender and Malwarebytes reports them as clean.
★ IMPORTANT ★ Bitdefender says CCleaner v5.35 is infectedYou make some very good points. It is the download link that comes from this page: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/standard
★ IMPORTANT ★ Bitdefender says CCleaner v5.35 is infectedHello all, I just wanted to make this very important announcement as soon as possible. Take a look at the picture below. This is the same warning I received when I tried to download CCleaner v5.33, which as everybody knows has now been confirmed infected. PLEASE NOTE: I am NOT saying CCleaner v5.35 is infected. I have no idea if it is infected or not. I am just putting this out there so the creators of CCleaner and its users can be aware of it so that everyone may stay safe and vigilant. I'm going to submit the URL to Bitdefender and when they get back to me I will update this thread.
CCleaner always deletes my Remote Desktop Connection credentials...Hello, I ran CCleaner last night with 'Network Passwords' unchecked/disabled and it was the solution to my problem. Thank you very much hazelnut and APMichael for your replies.
CCleaner always deletes my Remote Desktop Connection credentials...Hello, sorry for the delayed response. No, I have tried this and I never saw anything remotely related to RDC unless I didn't recognize it or overlooked it. Ah, this is a great suggestion and could very well be the problem. In fact, I'm guessing it is. I have unchecked 'Network Passwords' and will run CCleaner a little while later on and report back to this thread with an update. Thanks to the both of you.
Okay, so as long as I use Normal file deletion (faster), don't Wipe Free MFT Space, and don't use the Drive Wiper, I should be fine using CCleaner on my SSD? Also, what about Wipe Alternate Data Streams and/or Wipe Cluster Tips - should these be avoided as well? Is there anything else I should know about and/or avoid? Thank you very much. I just ruined a VPS and lost a lot of important data/files because I ran CCleaner with the wrong settings and I don't want it to happen again. However, at the same time I'd still like to be able to use CCleaner. Thanks again!
Hello all, First and foremost, I am new to the forum/community so I would like to start off by saying "hi" to everyone. It's a pleasure to meet you all. It's nice to be a member of a community that has been built around such awesome software. Moving on, I use the Windows Remote Desktop Connection application to connect to a remote server on a daily basis. Due to the frequency of my use of this application, I allow it to save my credentials (username and password, among other things). I also use CCleaner regularly, and within the Applications tab, under the Windows category, I have disabled any cleaning of the Windows Remote Desktop application. However, for some reason, every time I run CCleaner, it clears my credentials within Remote Desktop Connection even though I do not have it set to perform this action. What's more, if I analyze what can be cleaned up on my computer before actually doing any cleaning, with the Remote Desktop box unchecked (not activated), the results of the analyzation do not detect any files that will be cleaned pertaining to RDC. On the other hand, if I do check the Remote Desktop box and analyze what can be cleaned, naturally CCleaner returns files for RDC that it will clean up if I leave the Remote Desktop option checked/activated. I have gone down many avenues trying to find a solution to what's occurring here including but not limited to reading the CCleaner Documentation, researching multiple queries/sources entered into Google, saving the log files of my results of multiple analyzations, and as soon as I signed up here at the forum, I used the Search feature/tool provided within the forum so I could search and see if anyone else has ever experienced this same problem before. I didn't find anyone or anything related to my specific problem, but what's peculiar is I did see threads/posts within this forum where people were having the opposite problem I'm having: CCleaner wasn't cleaning their RDC files when they had Remote Desktop checked/activated and it was supposed to do so. Furthermore, it obviously isn't the Remote Desktop cleaning option that is clearing my credentials. It's something else I have activated, the only problem is I have no idea what it is, could, or might be. I am running Windows 10 Home Edition. In the following image you can see the results of an analyzation that I just ran less than a minute ago. I guarantee if I proceed and clean up what CCleaner has analyzed, my RDC credentials will be cleared. So it is something in the following list that is clearing my RDC credentials. Does anyone have any idea(s) and/or suggestion(s) on what it might be that's cleaning my RDC credentials, aside from the actual Remote Desktop option itself? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Hello, I recently purchased an SSD. Can you please tell me why it's not a good idea to do any overwriting on an SSD? Thanks in advance.

For the word of God is quick, and powerfully working…
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)
The true Word of the Lord is not the broad and bloated instrument that men have made it. For scarcely has the flaming sword left His mouth, and the thing He has decreed will be done. But the "word" going forth from the pulpits of our day is an indecisive word: it is a dull word for a dull ear. It is a word made by the people for the people – and knowhere is God Himself to be found in the process: He who is the True Word. The word of men cannot divide and discern the hearts like a freshly sharpened sword, nor can it winnow the wheat from the chaff. It quickens no man for the imminent Day of the Lord.
Those who wish to hear and speak only the familiar tidings of a paradigm long bereft of spiritual authority cannot stand against the great deception of this evil day. For there arises a darkness never before seen, and the supposed men of God for this hour hold not a spark to its mountainous tide. They even supress any light lest they themselves should become exposed; but they will not long get away with it. They are candles without wicks, lamps without oil. If they will not burn today, they will drown in this flood of filth and be burned tomorrow.
The prayer without discernment and the word without a divine decree has had its day – it has been weighed and measured, and it has been found grossly wanting. Let those who seek to obey the Lord no longer be desirous of such tepid trifles. The ear that fills itself merely with fond and comfortable sayings becomes dull of hearing; and only the word born of a holy fire can melt its wax.
Where the "quick and powerfully working" word of the Lord cannot go forth, His servants mourn.
O Lord, let your word for this hour be found inscribed on our hearts, traced by our steps, proclaimed by our lips. Let us not cease to hear Your voice – even where Your silence prevails – lest we sleep the sleep of death!

When it comes to the debate between Android and iPhones, things aren't black and white. There are diehard fans on both sides. There are others who switch between operating systems based on the features they are looking for at the time.
Still, iPhone users are gravitating to Androids more and more. Many are happy with their decision but, there are some wonderful iOS features that they wished their new phones had.
This is what we're talking about today, the iOS features that we want to see in Android:
AirDrop alternative
This is one of the best features in the iOS universe. It gives users the ability to share information quickly between all devices. While it isnt the most flashy feature, it provides users with a practical solution to a common problem.
Still, sharing information quickly isnt the best thing you can do with your smartphone. Dont believe it? Check out Heart Bingo. Not only do you get the chance to win some cold hard cash, but their bonus offers are also pretty great. Just dont forget your Heart Bingo promo code 2019. Its the best way ensure you get more bang for your buck.
Built-in screen recorder
Having quick access to the screen recorder on iPhones saves a lot of effort and time. There are some Android apps that can provide the same utility, however, it just makes things a little more complicated. This isnt that big of an issue but sometimes it's the nuances that make the difference.
Gesture navigation
Apples new navigation gesture method (as seen on the iOS 11) is something to be admired. While Androids navigation features arent that bad. Theyre not as polished as they could be.
Apple is known for their dedication when creating new features. The same level of quality is seen in iOS gestures. Its slick, smooth, and innovative.
Universal media controls
Android users know that things can get a little shaky when several media apps are running at the same time. The iOS Control Center, however, is intuitive in its handling of media playback. It allows you to easily access your media applications from the lock screen or by swiping down.
Real face-scanning support
iPhones have one of the best (if not the best) 3D face scanning capabilities on the market. No other smartphone can match it. That isnt to say that fingerprint readers are obsolete, however, Apples face unlocking feature is significantly more secure than this option.
Those whove made the switch from iOS to Android can attest to the need for certain features that are only found on Apple devices. But, Androids are great phones - there's no doubt about it.
Do you agree with this list? Is there anything that you feel was left out? Share your thoughts in the comments section. We would love to hear what you have to say.
