Google and gumption - Scarlett Johansson and 50 other celebs got HACKED
On November 13, 2010, 34-year old Jacksonville, Florida resident Christopher Chaney went hunting for unreleased nude photos of celebrities. According to court documents, he had the e-mail address for celebrity stylist and handbag designer Simone Harouche, but he didn't have Harouche's password. No matter; after connecting to Apple's e-mail servers, Chaney used the password reset feature. He answered the required security questions by supplying publicly available information gleaned from the Internet—and he was in. What to do next?
Account settings were a top priority. From there, Chaney could have a copy of all Harouche's incoming e-mail mirrored to nickchulbert@yahoo.com—an account created specially for this purpose. Even after Harouche regained control of her account, she was unlikely to start poking around immediately in her account settings, and Chaney might maintain his virtual view of her life for weeks or even months.
With the mirroring in place, a quick stroll through the actual contents of the account might be in order. For Hollywood celebrities, a search of all e-mails containing attachments could bring up everything from film scripts to scans of a driver's license to intimate photos. When he found these last items, Chaney saved them to separate folders on his computer. He then used three e-mail accounts with names like trainreqsuckswhat@yahoo.com—an I'm-better-than-you reference to a 2008 hacker named "trainreq" who had broken into Miley Cyrus's Gmail account—to distribute nude pictures to various Internet sites.
But such pictures weren't always sitting around, waiting to be downloaded; sometimes Chaney had to work for them.
Which led him to Harouche's contacts list. Thanks to electronic address books, the successful hack of a single well-connected individual like Harouche might turn up all sorts of private celebrity e-mail addresses, the raw material for future attacks on new accounts. In this case, Harouche knew singer Christina Aguilera. Chaney went off and tried to break into Aguilera's e-mail account, but with no success—so it was back to Harouche's account for one last dodge.
On December 2, three weeks after the first break-in, Chaney hacked his way back into Harouche's account. This time, he impersonated her, sending an e-mail to Aguilera in which he requested pictures of Aguilera wearing, as he would later admit to a federal judge, "very little clothing."
Amazingly, she appears to have complied; Chaney soon released photos of Aguilera obtained from Harouche's account onto the Internet.
Chaney went on a spree, cracking more than 50 celebrity e-mail accounts, including those belonging to Mila Kunis and Scarlett Johansson. On January 1, 2011, Chaney celebrated the new year by logging into Johansson's Yahoo e-mail account once more and sending a message to a friend asking the friend to please send back copies of some private photographs.
Chaney obtained several photos of Johansson in various stages of undress and released them online. Johansson commented on the photos to Vanity Fair last December:
She confessed she had taken them herself with her smartphone. "Those are old, from three years ago. They were sent to my husband," she explained, referring to her now ex, Ryan Reynolds. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's not like I was shooting a porno—although there's nothing wrong with that either." Still, a dangerous habit, I thought, for a movie star. Worse than getting her phone hacked, she might make herself look bad: "You're hardly a professional photographer."
"I know my best angles," she replied breezily. Cool, too, and smart was Johansson's response after she found out she had been hacked: she copyrighted the pictures so that she could go after sites that displayed them.
As Chaney's victim count mounted, he finally realized he should be hiding his identity if he didn't want the FBI at his door. He began using a proxy service called "Hide My IP"—"By faking your IP you can often access many sites you were banned from," promises the site—but it was far too late for such a maneuver.
On February 10, 2011, the FBI executed a search warrant at his residence in Jacksonville. Agents hauled away a desktop computer with a black "Exblade" case, a Seagate hard drive, a 8GB USB memory stick, a cell phone, and 155 blank DVDs. When agents asked about the hacking, Chaney confessed it all.
Christopher Chaney
WAWS-TV
But not even a visit from the feds could stop Chaney's habit, though he must have known the hammer was about to fall hard. He lasted until April 30 before hitting another (unnamed) target using a new computer. He cracked the security questions, logged in, and looked through the victim's e-mail account. On October 10, he broke in again and sent a message to one of the victim's friends, asking for photos.
Chaney didn't know it, but the 11-month investigation (dubbed "Operation Hackerazzi" by the FBI) of his activities had just wrapped up 3,000 miles away. On October 11, a California grand jury returned a lengthy indictment against him; on October 12, he was arrested in Jacksonville without incident.
He spoke to CNN affiliate WAWS-TV in Jacksonville shortly afterwards. "I deeply apologize," he said. "I know what I did was probably one of the worst invasions of privacy someone could experience. And these people don't have privacy to begin with. And I was in that little sliver of privacy they do have."
Chaney's motivations remain opaque; he didn't sell any of the information he obtained for money and claims that he was just driven by "curiosity," which morphed into addiction. He told the TV station that he felt "almost relieved months ago" after the February raid, because finally someone had put a (temporary) stop to his activities.
The "dark underworld"
Despite the on-air confession, he pled not guilty. Court documents show that Chaney's bail required him to put up $10,000, with his mother coming up with $100,000 more. The government gave him an electronic tracker and ordered him not to leave the Jacksonville region while awaiting trial in Los Angeles. He was to reside at "mom's address," his bail document shows, and consume alcohol only in moderation. "Stay away from celebrities," someone wrote in pen next to the clause ordering him to avoid his victims.
Chaney's Los Angeles trial was scheduled for December 27, 2011, then pushed back to April 2012 when it looked like a plea deal might be forthcoming. That deal materialized this week; Chaney pled guilty to nine counts of "aggravated identity theft," "wiretapping," and other crimes.
The government notes that the maximum total sentence he could still face is 60 years in prison and a fine of $2.25 million, though the actual numbers will likely be far lower. Chaney has also committed to pay restitution to his victims—now believed to top $100,000.
On March 19, Chaney faxed in his signature page from a downtown Jacksonville print shop—the header line reads "Kinkos Downtown Jax"—with the government signing the deal on March 21.
On Monday, March 26, federal judge James Otero signed off on the plea. At the hearing, Otero commented, "I don't understand why any person who is rational would continue in that kind of behavior."
US Attorney André Birotte Jr, whose office in Los Angeles brought the case, laid the "dark underworld" rhetoric on pretty thick after the hearing.
"Today's guilty pleas shine a bright light on the dark underworld of computer hacking," he said in a statement. "This case demonstrates that everyone, even public figures, should take precautions to shield their personal information from the hackers that inhabit that dark underworld."
But Chaney lived in sunny Jacksonville, and the case actually serves of a reminder of just how some modern hackers have little need of a "dark underworld" at all. Reaching from a Florida computer into the most private documents of Hollywood celebrities took no organized blackmail ring, no special tools, and no special software. It required merely a search engine, an Internet connection, and the willingness to be deeply creepy.
Plenty of these people exist; thanks to the Internet, any of them can be your "neighbor." Just ask the many victims of Luis Mijangos, a 32-year old California man who from his wheelchair managed to go much further than Chaney. Mijangos actually seeded malware on P2P networks, used it break into computers of young women, then spied on their instant messages and e-mail, even turning on their webcams and microphones to watch them undress or to eavesdrop on their conversations.
Like Chaney, he would interact with his victims, e-mailing them, impersonating friends, and demanding provocative photos or video. The women weren't celebrities, and Mijangos's invasions of privacy were so extreme that, when the FBI went to interview a college student, agents reported that she was "visibly upset and shaking during parts of the interview and had to stop at points to control her emotions and stop herself from crying." So terrified was the woman that she didn't leave her dorm room for a week.
Mijangos did need more tools, and had more technical savvy, than Chaney. His "sextortion" relied on commonly available remote access software and various bits of operating system exploit code, and in that sense he used a "dark underworld" to help him. But Mijangos was a freelancer when it came to online stalking, and he managed to cause serious mayhem for many women without so much as a partner in crime.
The tools are so widely available, and now require such little effort to run—whole forums exist in which people share pictures of the women whose computers they have infiltrated with automated remote access tools—that basic "hacking" is no longer even self-limited by the requirement that the hackers have real technical skills.
There's one upside of "hacks" being easier for non-hackers to implement, however—people like Chaney don't cover their tracks well. That may provide little comfort to those whose privacy was invaded, but at least it helped end one more sorry chapter in the Internet's long history of privacy problems.
Chaney will be sentenced on July 23.

New facility doubles Qatar's condensate refining capacity
February 20th, 2017 Industry News
Qatar is fast emerging as a leading global producer of 'low sulfur Euro-V' specification products such as naphtha, jet-A1, ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), propane and butane with the formal inauguration of the QR5.5bn Laffan Refinery 2 (LR2) on Monday.
LR2 at Ras Laffan has a total processing capacity of 146,000 barrels per day of condensate from the North Field, the largest non-associated natural gas reserve in the world.
With Laffan Refinery 2 going on-stream, Qatar now has the capacity to process a significant quantity of condensate from the offshore North Field. This achievement will be a catalyst for Qatar's further economic stability.
The facility will effectively double the condensate refining capacity of the Laffan Refinery Complex to 300,000 barrels per day, solidifying the country's unique position as the largest condensate producer with the largest condensate refining capacity in the world.
Qatargas operates the refinery on behalf of the shareholders – Qatar Petroleum (84%), Total (10%), Cosmo (2%), Idemitsu (2%), Mitsui (1%) and Marubeni (1%).
Alongside Laffan Refinery 1, this new facility is strategically important due to its role in diversifying Qatar's energy mix, which will double the existing production capacity.
Synergies are expected between LR1 and LR2 as both projects share certain facilities with each other.
The LR2 project will add to Qatargas' integrated value chain and will generate revenue from supplying the refined products into domestic and export markets.
The Laffan Refinery processes condensate, an associated product to natural gas liquefaction that is refined into a number of high-quality products, which can be used as lower emission fuels, and feedstock for petrochemical production. All products will be hydrotreated to reduce the content of sulphur, meeting the most stringent quality standards.
The LR2 project consists of three separate refinery expansion projects: the Receiving and Loading Facility (RALF), the Diesel Hydrotreater (DHT) facility, (which is located inside the LR1 boundary but will process gasoil from LR1 and LR2), and the LR2 Refinery project itself.
Addressing media at the Laffan Refinery 2 at Ras Laffan yesterday, Qatargas chief operating officer (Refinery Ventures) Salman Ashkanani said the project was implemented "within the budget and schedule."
"This is completed in 39 months, whereas LR1 took about 41 months. Also, we have an excellent safety record in project implementation," Ashkanani said.
He said naphtha, jet-A1, ultra-low sulfur diesel, propane and butane from Laffan Refinery 2 target both the local and international markets.
Qatargas announced the commercial start-up of Laffan Refinery 2 late last year.
The project will be formally inaugurated at a high-profile event at the Qatar National Convention Centre today morning.

I confess, this subject kind of worries me. These people are in an intentional denial of the facts. For all their bluster that "Bush lied" etc., these are the same folks who saw nothing that alarmed them in the FBI filegate or the attack on Iraq in 1998.
I fear all there bluster now will quickly translate into very real and destructive excesses once they assume the mantle of power in Washington (and we all know that day is coming). They will quickly dismiss any over-reaching with a tart "So what, Bush did it!"
Nothing can stop that day from coming, of course. But we ought to be ready for it.
Does anyone have light to shed on the doings at Patrick Henry College, as reported in the LATimes today?
"Remind me not to recommend Harvard Business School to those of my bright students inclined in that direction."
Yes, let the weak-minded conservative students get their MBAs there, and go on to be President of the United States, like George W. Bush did.

In this Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019, file photo, Jake Patterson appears for his preliminary hearing at Barron County Circuit Court in Barron, Wis. Patterson, charged with kidnapping a 13-year-old Wisconsin girl and killing her parents, is expected to enter a formal plea when he appears in court for an arraignment, on Wednesday, March 27, 2019.
A Wisconsin man pleaded guilty Wednesday to kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs, killing her parents and holding her captive in a remote cabin for three months.
Patterson had said he would plead guilty in a letter sent earlier this month to a Minneapolis TV station, saying he didn't want the Closs family "to worry about a trial."
Watch as Jake Patterson enters his guilty plea for the kidnapping of Jayme Closs and the killing of her parents.
According to a criminal complaint, Patterson told authorities he decided Jayme "was the girl he was going to take" after he saw her getting on a school bus near her home.
Jayme told police that the night of the abduction, the family dog's barking awoke her, and she went to wake up her parents as a car came up the driveway. While her father went to the front door, Jayme and her mother hid in the bathroom, clutching each other in the bathtub, with the shower curtain pulled shut.
They heard Jayme's father get shot. Patterson then found Jayme and her mother. He told detectives he wrapped tape around Jayme's mouth and head, taped her hands behind her back and taped her ankles together, then shot her mother in the head. He told police he dragged Jayme outside, threw her in the trunk of his car, and took her to his cabin, the complaint said.
Jake Patterson, the man accused of kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs and murdering her parents, says his actions were mostly on impulse and he will plead guilty in a long and detailed letter sent to KARE reporter Lou Raguse. Patterson is currently jailed while awaiting trial.

Condoleezza Rice gets angry at Sudanese security forces
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice came to Sudan with a diplomatic mission this Wednesday. Being in the country for the first time, Rice was taken aback by the actions of Sudanese guards against her aids and reporters accompanying her. Rice didn't hesitate to give way to her anger.
"It makes me very angry to be sitting there with their president and have this happen, they have no right to push and shove," Rice was quoted as saying by the AP.
Rice made her remarks to the press when she and her entourage were aboard the plane to leave the Sudanese capital of Khartoum.
Sudanese President Omar Hassan El-Bashir's guards elbowed members of the American delegation and tried to rip a tape away from a U.S. reporter. At another point, Rice's interpreter and some other aides accompanying her were blocked at a gate.
While Rice and el-Bashir were meeting, journalists were taken inside in groups to see the meeting for a photo opportunity, says CNN.
Ambassador Khidair Haroun Ahmed, head of the Sudanese mission in Washington, attempted to smooth over the situation. "Please accept our apologies," he told reporters and Rice aides. "This is not our policy."
Rice's trip to Sudan is the highest-level visit by a U.S. official in a year.
Sudan's new government was sworn in July 9 after the settlement of a two-decades-old north-south civil war in which 2 million people died. While congratulating Khartoum on the end of the conflict, Washington has remained firm that Sudan must do more to end a separate conflict in Darfur, reminds Reuters. Attacks have abated this year in western Sudan as African Union military monitors have increasingly deployed around the arid region the size of France.
Rice has demanded Sudan's new government speak out against the abuse and punish the attackers, and, to highlight the U.S. concern, she will meet rape victims at one of the largest camps in Darfur on Thursday.


I've been thinking lately about morning rituals. When I take the time on a Sunday morning to get the paper, get my coffee and go for a walk and eat healthy for the day I feel so still and calm. Self love at its best.
Do you have a morning ritual? They always say the best part of the day starts at 5am and whilst I'm a little while* off voluntarily getting up at that hour, I must admit that lots of my happy moments are best spent sitting with the stillness and freshness that a new day brings.
So I'm going to put an intentional focus on doing more 'morning' things. I'm going to make sure that I spend my Sundays doing what I know makes me feel present and grateful for the exact moment I am a part of. I am going to continue to get to work early and settle into my day in my own time so I can choose how it is going to pan out - I have started that and so far had such success giving myself a bit more time to just go about the day. I am going to take 30seconds to do a big stretch as I wake, before jumping into transforming from bed chic to public chic.
What tidbits do you think would help start your day off right?
Great question! Since I started blogging full time, I try to get up (relatively) early, make a coffee, and spend the first hour catching up on my Bloglovin' feed, reading new content and stimulating my mind. Then I shower and dress, and make a to-do list for the day - reply to emails, plan out blog posts, do my makeup to photograph for the blog. I am most productive first thing in the morning! I'd like to add "go for a half-hour walk' to that list too, but I get so bogged down in life online that excersise has taken a back seat lately!


The chair for Management Science was established in 2000 with the help of a generous grant from the Heinz Nixdorf Foundation and with support of the Stifterverband für die deutsche Wissenschaft. The aim was to develop closer cooperation in teaching and research in the fields of economics and management between Berlin and Moscow.
Our main partner in Russia is the State University - Higher School of Economics (HSE).

Forecasting the 2022 Major League Baseball season
Cabot Butts, Staff Writer
After an offseason that saw the Texas Rangers spend more than $500 million on their infield, Albert Pujols return to the Cardinals, some of the biggest names in Major League Baseball (MLB) sign with new teams and so much more, baseball is back better than ever. Following a 99 day lockout where the MLB and Major League Baseball Players' Association (MLBPA) failed to reach an agreement over their Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the season finally began last Thursday, albeit one week later than scheduled.
To summarize some of the biggest offseason moves, we must first look no further than the $500 million infield that the Texas Rangers bought before the lockout started. Starting with all-star shortstop Marcus Semien, the Rangers began their offseason spending by offering a seven year, $175 million contract, a move that Rangers fans are hopeful will pick them up off the floor of the American League (AL) West. In addition, a few days later, the Rangers inked a 10-year, $325 million deal with Corey Seager. Seager is also a shortstop, meaning that Semien will most likely be seeing much of his playing time at second base.
First thing first, however, the Los Angeles Angels began the offseason with a surprise move, which saw Noah Syndergaard, widely regarded as "Thor," sign a one year, $21 million contract with the team. Although shocking, Syndergaard may be the missing piece that the Angels were looking for, in order to back up a team led by, arguably, the greatest player to ever play in the MLB in Mike Trout, and defending AL MVP Shohei Ohtani.
Staying on the west coast, the Los Angeles Dodgers likely won free agency with their signing of former National League (NL) MVP first baseman, Freddie Freeman. Even with their loss of Corey Seager, it is easy to see that the Dodgers are an even better ball club than the 106-win team last year. Along with the signing of Freddie Freeman, the Dodgers were able to keep valuable assets to their pitching staff and lineup. For example, the Dodgers re-signed star pitcher Clayton Kershaw, as well as a terrific all around player and UVA product Chris Taylor.
The number one rated free agent, shortstop Carlos Correa, signed a three year, $105.3 million contract with the Minnesota Twins. With Correa, as well as superb center fielder Byron Buxton, who the Twins were able to re-sign, give the Minnesota team a very real shot to win the AL Central this year.
Moving to the east coast, free agency moves were aplenty. The New York Mets signed three time Cy Young Award winning pitcher Max Scherzer to a three year, $130 million deal. The Boston Red Sox signed infielder Trevor Story to a six-year, $140 million contract. Up north, the Blue Jays signed pitcher Kevin Gausman, and third baseman Matt Chapman; moves that make the Blue Jays real favorites to win the AL East. The last major AL East move came by the New York Yankees about a month before Opening Day. The Yankees took the opportunity to trade young third baseman Gio Urshela and catcher Gary Sanchez to the Minnesota Twins for all-star third baseman Josh Donaldson; a move that proved to be a major shock to the Yankee fan base.
Perhaps the most important move made during the offseason, one that forced Freddie Freeman to sign with the Dodgers, was the blockbuster trade between the Oakland Athletics and the Atlanta Braves that sent replacement first baseman, Matt Olson, to the Braves.
Less than a month before Opening Day, star third baseman Kris Bryant inked a seven-year, $182 million contract with the Colorado Rockies. Although surprising, this move is very unlikely to make the Rockies contenders for the NL West crown this year.
Lastly, days before Opening Day, future Hall of Fame first baseman, Albert Pujols, announced that he would retire after the 2022 season. In a bittersweet move, Pujols signed with the St. Louis Cardinals, the same team that drafted him back in 1999. During his first stint with the Cardinals, Pujols hit 445 home runs in 11 seasons. He then went to the Los Angeles Angels in 2011 before joining the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2021. Pujols' 679 career home runs with the three aforementioned teams puts him fifth on a list consisting of all-time greats like Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, and Babe Ruth. With 18 home runs this season, Pujols will overtake Yankee and Mariner great, Alex Rodriguez, for fourth all-time in home runs for a career.
All in all, the 2021 offseason will go down in history as one of the most expensive offseasons around the MLB. With the Rangers spending $500 million on their infield, and other star players signing monster contracts with new teams, we are bound to see some new ball clubs at the top of the MLB in the coming years.

AL Champion
The Blue Jays are loaded with talent this year. Not only do they have the AL MVP runner-up from last season in Vlad Guerrero Jr., but they also have contact specialists that are bound to get on base many times this year, in Cavan Biggio and Bo Bichette. Speaking of Bo Bichette, his shortstop play is like no other. He is one of the most agile shortstops in the league, making diving stops and almost impossible throws left and right. Don't forget about new addition Matt Chapman at third base, who will work wonders, not only in the offense, but at the hot corner as well. Furthermore, the Blue Jays have a very deep pitching staff, especially starting pitching, with the addition of Kevin Gausman this offseason. A stellar earned run average at 2.81 last season, Kevin Gausman is primed for a terrific 2022 campaign that might even make him a Cy Young Award contender.

NL Champion
Flat out, the Dodgers are the likely best team, not only in the National League, but in the MLB. After a 106-win campaign last season, the Dodgers somehow got even better. Their addition of first baseman Freddie Freeman already makes them World Series contenders. Paired with Freeman is another star infielder in Trea Turner, who in my opinion should have won the NL MVP last season over Bryce Harper of the Philadelphia Phillies. The defense of this Dodgers team is likely to turn heads all season long. Not to mention their addition of Craig Kimbrel to the back end of their bullpen, the Dodgers are stacked with talent. I believe that this year is World Series or bust for the Dodgers, especially since they were able to retain UVA star Chris Taylor and all-star pitcher Clayton Kershaw. Simply, this team is almost unbeatable. They still have a young stud in pitcher Julio Urías, as well as a star outfielder in Mookie Betts who they signed to a long-term deal a few years back. This team is fantastic, and I have them winning the NL Pennant this year, and spoiler alert: they're going to win the World Series too.

Bali : buying silvers | escaped.
After surviving a day without pak supir, the next day we gave in and called him to take us around Bali for the whole day.
If you're looking for pak supir (driver), do not take the ready ones at your hotel or villa - the marked up price is ridiculously high. We had one suggested by our friend, and he charged us 400,000 rupiah for a day - while the one suggested by our villa is 750,000 rupiah. And the places they offer in the package are the exact same ones!
Thank God for experienced and helpful friends.
So the next day, Pak Suchan (our supir) fetched us at our villa at 10 am and took us to our first destination, silver and gold factory. Apparently the goldsmith and silversmith here in Bali are very unique and sought after; they have been in the business since their ancestors' time.
The distance from Seminyak to Celuk, the majority silversmiths' place and where you can easily find silver factories is quite far; we even snored in the van a little. Reaching there was quite easy as there's just a main road lined up with silver and gold workshops, you can see the signs everywhere.
Love the old building design, though.
Upon reaching there, the shop assistant will take you to see how the silver-making process works in their workshop, usually located in the same building as the store, where they put up all the jewelries.
One shop assistant will accompany you to see the collection and make your decision whether you'd buy or not. I find this quite disturbing as they came off as pushy - there were a lot of earrings and rings and pendants, I need some time to decide!
Oh, make sure you negotiate too. Always.
Even walked around the area too - they have gems like old-school taxis and bikes and houses.
This is actually the shop owner's, we were told. Makes me realize how rare it is to find something like this in a regular household.
No idea how a house in Bali could be this beautiful, but usually it comes with a praying area, hence the design.
Bought a pair of beautiful dragonfly earrings from the place, worth RM30.
Turns out I can't wear it because of my allergy, even though I made sure with the shop assistant that it's 92.5% silver.
If you're going to Bali and need a driver to show you around, Pak Suchan is highly recommended as he's a Muslim and can take you to places with halal food and surau for your convenience. In Bali, there aren't that many places with praying area for Muslim - he saved us a lot of trouble. The price is reasonable too. Let me know if you need his contact number!
Hi, can i have pak suchan's number?
Hi, this is his number - +62 812 3941167 :) You can use Whatsapp to contact him.

Q: jQuery cloning or moving ajax info from another page I am attempting to clone (or move) information from one page to another using jQuery and ajax.  This code currently does nothing for me and is all I have to work with:
Essentially it is checking the page for id Deal_1.  If found I want to move (or clone) these three divs that are on the page being checked with classes deal-product-name deal-saving-stock-details & deal-end, to the page I am currently on.
$.ajax({
url: "http://tsqja.deznp.servertrust.com/dealoftheday.asp",
context: document.body,
dataType: 'html',
success: function(data){
        if ($(data).find('#Deal_1').length >= 1) {
            $('#dealofdaytop').after($('.deal-product-name'));
            $('#dealdayprice').after($('.deal-saving-stock-details'));
            $('#dealdayprice').after($('.deal-end'));
        }
});

This is on current page I want the divs moved to:

A: I guess it should be like this;
if ($(data).find('#Deal_1').length >= 1) {
    $('#dealofdaytop').after($('.deal-product-name', data));
    $('#dealdayprice').after($('.deal-saving-stock-details', data));
    $('#dealdayprice').after($('.deal-end', data));
}

Working example code:
$(document).ready(function () {
    $.ajax({
        url: "http://localhost/WebApplication1/WebForm2.aspx",
        context: document.body,
        success: function (data) {
            $(".dummy_container").after($(".deal-product-name", data));
        }
    });
});

Contents of WebForm1.aspx

Contents of WebForm2.aspx

        Test data

Hope this helps.

A: In your success handler, you're trying to use jQuery DOM functions directly on the returned data which is just a string here.  As far as I know, you can't do that.  If the result of your ajax call is HTML and you want to insert that into your page, you can then use jQuery DOM functions on it or you can use regex functions directly on the string.
This problem in general looks to me like you may want the response to be JSON with the different parts of the response in different returned objects and you can then reach into those objects with javascript, grab the result you're looking for and use that to modify the appropriate part of your page.

Q: Verified $(\ln x)^{\cos x}$ Determine the derivative of $(\ln x)^{\cos x}$
Can anyone verified my answer:
$(\ln x)^{\cos x}(-\sin x\ln (\ln x)+\frac{\cos x}{x\ln x})$
Or do I have too many $x$'s in my answer?

A: Let $y = ( \ln x)^{\cos x } \implies \ln y = \cos x \ln (\ln x) $. Hence
$$ \frac{y'}{y} = - \sin x \ln (\ln x) +  \frac{\cos x}{ x \ln x } $$
Therefore, $$y' = (\ln x)^{\cos x} (- \sin x \ln (\ln x) +  \frac{\cos x}{ x \ln x })  $$

Q: Rails 4, Argument Error Unknown Key, Update Controller I receive an error when trying to edit a post:
posts#edit controller:
def edit
 @post = Post.find params[:id]
end

posts#update controller:
def update
 @post = Post.find params[:post]

 if @post.update_attributes params[:post]
  redirect_to posts_path
 else
  render 'edit'
 end
end

edit view:
h1 Edit Post
= form_for @post do |f|
 p
  = f.label :title
  = f.text_field :title
 p
  br
 p
  = f.label :content
  = f.text_area :content
 p
  br
 p
  = f.submit 'Update Post'
 p
  br

This is when I get the ArgumentError in PostsController#update, Unknown Key: title error.  I am still wrapping my head around the strong parameter concept in Rails 4 so it might have something to do with this...any ideas?

A: Try the following i hope it will help you.
def update
  @post = Post.find(params[:id])
  if @post.update(post_params)
    redirect_to @post
  else
    render 'edit'
  end
end

A: I updated the posts#update controller to
params[:id]

rather than
params[:post]

this fix brought me the ForbiddenAttributesError caused by
if @post.update_attributes params[:post]

this is due to the strong parameters concept introduced with Rails 4...I fixed this by substituting the
params[:post]

with a strong parameter
post_params

from the private method post_params
 private
  def post_params
   params.require(:post).permit(:title, :content)
 end

eventually solving the unknown key error of :title

Global stock markets followed Wall Street lower Thursday after President Donald Trump said he could impose more tariffs on Chinese goods and...
US Retail Sales Show Solid Gains
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Americans stepped up their online shopping and bought more autos in April, suggesting that consumers may be faring better than indicated by a slump among major retailers.
The Commerce Department said Friday that retail sales climbed a seasonally adjusted 1.3 percent last month, after a drop in March caused largely by declining car sales.
But autos recovered in April, with sales jumping 3.2 percent. Online purchases advanced 2.1 percent. Clothiers, restaurants, sporting goods stores, grocers, gas stations and even the embattled department store sector saw higher sales.
Only building materials stores suffered a monthly decline, though their annual sales growth was solid.
Total retail sales have risen 3 percent in the past 12 months.
April's sales gains paint a healthier picture of consumers than did a slew of troubling reports released this week by Macy's, Nordstrom, Kohl's and J.C. Penney. Those reports raised fears that consumers are pulling back at a time of meager economic growth, and retail stocks have fallen sharply as a result.
But Friday's government sales data offered at least a tentative hint that consumers may not be retrenching so much as shifting their purchases toward online retailers such as Amazon.com and sapping traffic from traditional malls.
Ken Perkins of Retail Metrics, a research firm, suggested one reason for the malaise among traditional store chains: Incomes are rising only tepidly despite an improving job market, making women less likely to step up spending on clothing at a time when Amazon has intensified price competition.
"My gut says that women don't have the money outside replenishing items," Perkins said. "And the Amazon effect is gaining momentum."
Indeed, spending at non-store retailers --- which include online and catalogs --- has climbed a robust 10.2 percent from a year ago, according to the government. By contrast, sales at both department stores and electronics outlets have fallen over the past 12 months.
Shoppers such as Morgan Province of Herndon, Virginia, say they're tightening spending for a variety of reasons.
Province says she is saving for a summer move, and her tax refund was "unusually small" this year. And she said that when she does buy, she's spending more online. She's now going to Amazon.com every two weeks, compared with every six or eight weeks a year ago.
"It's more convenient," she says "It's more affordable, and there are more options."
Macy's Inc. dropped its report with a clunk on Wednesday. It slashed its profits and sales outlook in response to a key sales measure experiencing its worst decline since the Great Recession.
Other outlets including Nordstrom and Kohl's also reported dismal sales figures.
In response to falling revenue, stores announced plans to boost profitability. Nordstrom said it's cutting back on inventory and reducing expenses. Macy's plans to speed up launches for exclusive fashions, in addition to cutting expenses and plow the savings into adding sales help online and in the stores.
"Clearly, our industry is in something of a rough patch," said Karen Hoguet, chief financial officer at Macy's.
Yet Hoguet views the declines as puzzling given a recent hiring streak that has held unemployment to a healthy 5 percent.
"We're frankly scratching our heads," she added "We see the same economic data you all see and it would point to customer that would be spending more."
Many analysts examining the decline point to a confluence of factors that are not new but perhaps are accelerating. Shoppers are spending less on clothing in order to devote more their incomes to experiences like dining out. And when shoppers do spend on clothing, they're more likely to spend it at T.J. Maxx and other off-price chains.
Analysts also say the shift online is speeding up, with Amazon.com increasingly becoming a go-to place for shopping, including clothing. Amazon has been quietly expanding its private label clothing assortments.
"The big companies are suffering not necessarily from weak demand but weak pricing," said Jack Kleinhenz, chief economist at the National Retail Federation. "There is no pricing power and we've been in a deflationary mode, so consumers are getting great deals when they are spending."
John Blackledge, an analyst at Cowen & Co., expects Amazon.com to replace Macy's as the No. 1 apparel retailer by next year.

sanctuary policies, first filed in santa clarra in january. >> we're fighting to protect the constitution and the rule of law. and the fact that it is playing out, in a local and state initiated lawsuit, does not mean that we're trying to trump federal rights. it means we're sticking up for the constitution. reporter: in an e-mail statement to fox news, doj spokesman o'malley wrote, it is disappointing that state leaders would take steps too limit cooperation between local and immigration authorities, that are trying to keep california safe, they are not expecting a official response from doj for a month, and also possibility that other cities and county in california could join in the suit. >> thank you, so. we're coming right back, with much more, stay with us.

follow the plan. they began entering at different locations, we had to quickly alter our plans to help facilitate that process. david: the minute greg, that someone does something that they say they are not going to do in terms of permit to assemble, don't you withdraw that permit and stop the assembly? >> you absolutely do, police have that authority to do so they have breached not only lines and barricades set up, but they breached agreement, which part of permit, you yank the permit. person that i blame here is the federal judge who allowed this protest to take place. in a small urban park, when the city urged the judge to move it to a larger venue, see police could better control the situation. and the city offered affidavits from detectives saying, we believe based on
our intel, a thousand people will be there, they will be armed. the judge would have none of these warnings calling it purely speculative. david: you are being fair to the police department, they always deserve credit, however, the comments by local residents, and some of the businesses about where the police were, when the rioting started. you folks were watching it on fox news and other cable networks for about an hour before you saw any sign of police, one of the local business owners said to washington post, this is a joke, there was no buffer zone between oposing group -- opposing groups. media saw they were beginning to fight, b business people saw, people were calling in to police, it took an hour to get there. >> there is plenty of legitimate criticism of the police and their failure to properly prepare and plan. david: perhaps mayor and governor terry mcauliffe.
>> right. but i still come back to the federal judge. u.s. supreme court said, if there is a clear and present danger to public safety, you could prohibit a demonstration or you could regulate it, and restrict it in severe ways. if it was done as city originally wanted it to be done, none of this would have happened. >> the question of what 'cu does freedom of speech turn to a riot, very easy, you could sometime to saturday -- you could spot it saturday, as soon that there was blood on the ground. >> i was surprised that police were unable or unwilling to move in more likely too protecpro 'bebe -- public safety. david: you got information, that sheriff joe arpaio, may get a presidential pardon an. >> yes, i spoke with president trump yesterday.
and he indicated that he is seriously considering pardoning sheriff joe arpaio. he called him a great american patriot, and felt that he had been treated unfairly by the court system, this man served honorably in law enforcement for decades. and the president and sheriff joe arpaio have always agreed to the problem of illegal immigration, and undocumented workers, the flow of them across the southern borders, sheriff for years tried to staunch the flow, i think that president is somewhat grateful if that regard. but -- in that regard, but he feels he has been treated unfairly. look, nobody should get their knickers in a bunch over this, sheriff joe arpaio of convicted of criminal contempt under very questionable legal circumstances. but it is a misdemeanor, so we're not talking about some serious felony, this say misdemeanor. he probably would not do jail time anyway.
i spoke with sheriff joe arpaio today, he said, i would never ask the if th president for a pardon, i don't want to cause him any political harm, i would accept it because i am 100% not guilty. david: a lot of americans will be happy about that. >> greg jarrett thank you. >> thank you. david: do you believe that virginia's democratic governor terry mcauliffe and other state and local leaders should be held accountable for their response to charlottesville violence. and follow lou on twitter, and facebook and instagram. on wall street stocks soaring higher, dow gaining 135, s&p posting largest gains since april of 25 points, nasdaq up 84. volume on the big board light, 2.8 billion shares, oil plunging 2.5% today, hitting a

stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so now that you know all that, what do you think? that it's time to think about jardiance. ask your doctor about jardiance. and get to the heart of what matters. when they thought they should westart saving for retirement.le then we asked some older people when they actually did start saving. this gap between when we should start saving and when we actually do is one of the reasons why too many of us aren't prepared for retirement. just start as early as you can. it's going to pay off in the future. if we all start saving a little more today,

the nimitz. joining me, john bolton, starting with north korea. some people say, even conservatives, there are mixed messages out of administration on north korea. we have an article in "wall street journal," i know you are not a big fan of, in the piece they have following statement, u.s. has no interest in regime change in north korea. i have an interest in regime change, i would love to see this -- i am in the u.s., don't you? >> and just to be clear, i am a fan of "wall street journal," just not a fan of this op-ed, i was stunned by it. i think really, if that remark that you quoted and others including their willingness to negotiate with north korea, which is guaranteed to produce nothing but giving north korea more time to build up its
nuclear capability, if that op-ed truly represents position of the administration, i think that game is over, you can count on north korea, as fully pledge nuclear weapon state very quickly. david: before you throw in the towel. we had even more recently some comments by jim mattis, general mattis, when seem to contradict, the tough cop coming on again. we just had audio of that, let's play the sound bite. >> if they fire at united states, it could escalate to war very quickly, yes, that is called war, if they shoot at us, if they do, that it is game on. david: that is called war. that is specific hard talk you like, correct? >> well listen, if they fire at us. then it is game on. and that is a simply a statement of united states acting in self-defense. the problem is that the
position that secretary of state and defense argued in this op-ed is they will pursue essentially same policies as last 3 administrations, which have failed and brought us to this point. so capability of north korea to fire at u.s., may not be exercised today but in a year or 5 from now, this is ironic. because susan rice, just concluded in her own op set that policies of last 3 administrations have failed and we should step a nuclear north korea -- accept a nuclear north korea, and now our secretaries of state saying we should continue to follow the policies that she said have failed. david: switching to iran, it is connected, a different country, but iran, i think, is teams to be replacing china -- it seems to be replacing china as one of the big trading partner particularly in dangerous hardware with north

david: i'm david asman in more lou dobbs who is on vacation. new reports show the obama administration was warned at early as 2014 that russia was aiming to disrupt americans elections. they had a highly-kem lynn source. they were quick to dismiss that those efforts could have an effect in the united states. judicial watch filed a freedom of information request seeking detailed account of what sensitive or classified
information comey may have signed out. judicial watch said it was the bureau's responsibility to recover documents from comey to keep the documents private. we are joined by christopher farrell, director of investigation and research for judicial watch. we know for a fact he took out his own notes of his conversations with the president. it could be argue those were the property of the united states government. >> those are not his notes. it's government property. he absconded with federal work product. so let's be clear. those are notes taken or made as part of his official duties as the director of the fbi while drawing a paycheck from the united states treasury. those documents, those records belong to the american people,
not the former director. dave require. more than just those notes you think he may have taken with him. >> it's the same question we asked concerning hillary clinton and her absconding with government records. there is all sorts of questions regarding his departure from the fbi, what records did he take with him. what did he have access to. what does he continue to have access to. those debriefing and non-disclosure agreements he would have executed at the fbi we would like access to to make those public so people understand who is this guy and what is he doing. and isn't there a rich irony between his investigation of hillary clinton and his own conduct upon being dismissed. david: you mentioned hillary
clinton and her tendency to take what was government property everything from silverware when her -- her husband was president out of the white house. a famous case went into the national archives and was stuffing information about the clinton administration into his socks and underwear and he was convicted muc -- of a crime. i wonder if there will be a criminal investigation as a result of what you are starting here. >> there should be. mr. comey under oath testified he and scwond those records and deliberately leaked them to cause the appointment of a special counsel. he's in up to his next with respect to legal liability. the notion that he can do as he
wills without any consequences is terribly naive. david: , i have got to say, and this is not a plug for you guys. i can't think of anybody except for judicial watch in forbessing the handing of the government. the government should be doing this through inspectors general, but they are not. >> we have to sue the director of national intelligence to compel them to conduct a damage assessment of what hillary clinton did. >> this our tax money that should be put to good use. but you mention hillary, and you had a tremendous success last week in forcing the state department to release emails that it had not yet released on hillary's experience when she was secretary of state. how goes that? >> the state department's position was they didn't have to
check for huma abedin or cheryl mills on the state.gov server it's mind boggling. the judge saw how ridiculous that was and ordered the state department to go back and search their emails. this all because of benghazi. bengazi is not going away. david: do you think it's possible you may be able to find an email discussing the stuff that susan rice came out with which we know is not true that this was started not by radicals in the country and terrorists in the country, but by this video. is that what you are looking for? >> we found it. our work-up covered the email that shows hillary clinton emailing her daughter and the egyptian foreign minister saying quote we know it's not a video. that it wasn't sparked by a protest. it was a planned terrorist
attack. uncovering of that email is the work of judicial watch. david: how soon before you find the other state department emails? >> it will be months. there is a lot of stone wall. the trump administration has adopted essentially the same legal position as the obama administration. there is a lot of foot dragging and double talk and it's discouraging. david: i remember the reagan years and it took a long time before they could get the carter syndrome out of their bloodstream. maybe they are going through that process right now. be sure to vote in tonight's poll. do you believe virginia's democrat governor, terry mcauliffe and other state and local leaders should be held accountable for their response to the charlottesville violence? look at this.

have blamed the president somehow some wray for charlottesville -- some way no matter what he said saturday? >> i think that's right. it's fair to offer substantive critique of any office holder. there are just some people in the democratic side, media and establishment republicans who don't like the president and they will criticize hip no matter what he does. i thought he did good today. it was a strong statement. it's interesting. you have people like bernie sanders trying to say trump was responsible. he had to take a tweet down. i was on that congressional baseball team when he was shooting at our guys. david: the mother of the gal who was killed by that car careening

another tax. so you were very successful in that. but he is concerned about the senate after the debacle with healthcare. is there any chants same thing could happen? we get a tack bill passed in the house. goes to the senate and fails? >> i share chairman brady's concerns. i think we'll pass a strong tax reform package for the business side and for the individual side in the house of representatives. i think that will happen. having watched what the senators did with the obamacare it wasn't inthat they failed. but you actually had some of the provisions voted on, the same bill that we put on obama's desk last congress, you had six republican senators who voted for it last congress flipped their vote and voted against it. that's the swamp wing out when
you see that type of behavior. i can't put a lot of money on the senate doing the right thing. that was a body blow to those of us who wanted to see some progress on these key issues. david: is it time to ditch mitch? >> let the senate do that. we say the democrats are our opponent and the senate is the enemy in the house. let them figure it out. david: do yourself a fave and check out lou's new book, putin's gambit. twitter user, great book. it felt like the was ripped from the headlines. every viewer whose comment is read on the show will receive an autographed copy of the book. president trump con deputing the violence in charlottesville. >> racism is evil and those who

a politics fixated on indelible differences will inevitably lead to resentments that extremists can exploit in ugly ways on the right and left. ned >> we should be looking for common ground because at the end of the day we are all americans. what is frustrating me, but i'm not shocked at the total hypocrisy. we should reject white supremacists and the kkk and the alt-right, but we should also be rejecting black lives matter. david: governor mcauliffe did not focus on the violence coming from the left of the political
spectrum yet he received no criticism whatsoever. what i see is a genuine clash of cultures. the culture of the obama administration with identity politics with this new culture trying to get the obsessions on differences away from us. mollie: there are quite a few similarities between the hard left and the hard right when it comes to identity politics. they approach it slightly differently but they are both based in identity politics which is deeply un-american. they try to legitimize violence against political opponents. they try to silence political opponents. it's not a large percentage of the american population and you should keep that in perspective. this is something to be on guard against on both left and right.
we have seen a lot of violent protests throughout the country in recent years from anti-fa and this horrible killing of this woman heather heyer *. this is not a good thing to see this continuation of violence. david: there does reach a point when the far right and far right converge. let's face it. nazi means national socialism. it has socia -- socialism. ned: you look at some of the stuff taking place on the right, they embrace some of tha -- this fascist behavior. when you look at how they want
to settle their political differences. it's not as civilized and enlightened people it's by intimidation and violence and destruction of personal property. they ought to be rejected whether on the right or left. they represent a small percentage. if we want to have a rational dialogue and have a discussion about what we have in common, we have. david: with all the noise coming out on what happened. will the trump agenda be held up, cutting taxes? mollie: it shouldn't be an excuse to hold the agenda up. politics need to work on what they need to do and americans should be coming together. david: we have been coming together on an individual basis all over the country for years and this identity politics takes us in a different direction.

Q: Using fread() to select rows and columns, the way read.csv.sql() does I know fread is relatively new, but it really gives great performance improvements. What I want to know is, can you select rows and columns from the file that you are reading? A bit like what read.csv.sql does? I know using the select option of the fread one can select the columns to read, but how about reading only the rows which satisfy a certain criteria.
For example, can something like below be implemented using fread?
read.csv.sql(file, sql = "select V2,V4,V7,V8,V9, V10 from file where V5=='CE' and V10 >= 500",header = FALSE, sep= '|', eol ="\n")

If this is not possible yet, is it advisable to read the entire lot of data, and then use subset etc to arrive at the final result? Or will it defeat the purpose of using fread?
For reference, I have to read about 800 files, each containing about 100,000 rows and 10 columns.
Any input is welcome.
Thanks.

A: It is not possible to select rows with fread() as with read.csv.sql() yet. But it is still better to read the entire data (memory permitting) and then subset it as per your criteria. For a 200 mb file, fread()+ subset() gave ~ 4 times better performance than read.csv.sql().
So, using @Arun's suggestion,
ans = rbindlist(lapply(files, function(x) fread(x)[, fn := x]))
subset(ans, 'your criteria')

is better than the approach in the original question.
