Samsung continues to inch away from Google, teams with Mozilla on browser engine
By Brad Reed
Published Apr 3rd, 2013 3:36PM EDT
Samsung (005930) would love to lessen its dependence on Google (GOOG) services and now the company plans to team with Mozilla to create a next-generation browser engine that will presumably power non-Google web browsers on future Samsung devices. Mozilla says that the new engine, dubbed Servo, "is an attempt to rebuild the Web browser from the ground up on modern hardware" that entails "addressing the causes of security vulnerabilities while designing a platform that can fully utilize the performance of tomorrow's massively parallel hardware to enable new and richer experiences on the Web." Needless to say, giving a Servo-powered future version of Firefox a prominent place on Samsung devices would do wonders for Mozilla's mobile browser market share and would give Samsung an alternative to both the default Android browser and Google's Chrome on its smartphones and tablets.

High Pressure Yields Large ST12-Ge Crystals
Germanium may not be a household name like silicon, but it has great potential for use in next-generation electronics and energy technology. Of particular interest are forms of germanium that can be synthesized in the lab under high pressure conditions. One of the most promising forms of germanium for practical applications, called ST12-Ge, has only been created in tiny sample sizes — too small to definitively confirm its properties. Attempts to experimentally or theoretically pin down the characteristics of ST12-Ge have produced widely varying results, in particular the electrical conductivity, a situation that points to the critical need to synthesize the material in larger quantities.
Recent experimental efforts led by Timothy Strobel have now resulted in the ability to create ST12-Ge in a large enough sample size to confirm its characteristics and useful properties. Using the multi-anvil press at the Geophysical Laboratory, elemental Ge was compressed to 14 GPa at room temperature and slowly decompressed to ambient pressure. The decompressed sample consists of ingots approximately 15 mg in mass and 2 mm in diameter and length. ST12-Ge has a tetragonal structure, as illustrated in Fig. 1 (the structural code ST12 refers to a primitive, or simple tetragonal structure with 12 atoms in the unit cell). When polished into small bars, the ST12-Ge samples may be studied using a variety of spectroscopic techniques.
Like the most common, cubic diamond form of germanium, ST12 is a semiconductor with an indirect band gap and consequently a less than optimal efficiency in the absorption of visible light. However, due to the size of its indirect band gap (0.59 eV), ST12-Ge may be a better material for infrared detection and imaging technology than the cubic diamond form of the element currently used for these purposes. Measurements of electrical and thermal properties of ST12-Ge, now enabled by the synthesis of large, high quality samples, will further define its potential for practical applications [Z. Zhao et al., Nature Comm. 8, 13909 (2017)].

I thank you for this great honor of serving as your mayor. This is a time for a new, shared sense of purpose, to paraphrase Senator Robert F. Kennedy. The priorities of our citizens speak to us. The question is, what will future generations say when they look back at our actions?
Alexandria should be a national leader in ethics and transparency. There are ethics commissions all across our nation, and countless universities and think tanks are focusing on this very topic. Our interests should not be driven by a problematic situation. In other words, we should repair the roof while the sun is shining. We have many city commissions, including a Beautification Commission, but we don't have an ethics advisory commission. The employees of our city staff sign an ethics pledge. Our elected leadership should be held to the same standard. As one of our first council decisions this year, we should establish a study group to look at these matters and report back to council in the spring. I believe we must create an ethics advisory commission to educate and advise us and do so only in a forward-looking way, setting a higher standard for us all. Our citizens want it, and future generations will thank us.
Following our informal discussions, I would like to move toward a consensus that in 2016 we will begin to establish Alexandria as a national leader in ethical standards. The input from many of you has been very helpful.
To help develop proposals for consideration by City Council and the public, I would appreciate your continued consultation and participation. As I have mentioned, the purpose of an ethics commission is to educate and advise. Our work will pay off in better government, improved citizen confidence in our work, and increased attractiveness of Alexandria for new businesses.
The path for this work has been paved by others in years past. There were campaign finance reform efforts of Councilmen Wilson and Smedberg, along with then-Councilman Krupicka in 2008. (With this note to council, I attached their Oct. 28, 2008, memo.) A few years later, Alexandria City employees developed an ethics initiative. At the state level in 2015, the Governor's Commission on Integrity and Public Confidence in State Government has proposed new ethics standards. We have all seen rising citizen interest in the subject. Yesterday, the Alexandria Federation of Civic Associations sent us a letter recommending the creation of an ethics commission. Communities all across the country have an ethics commission, which provides guidance to its elected leadership.
I propose that the study group be comprised of seven members and that they be requested to report recommendations to council by March 31, 2016. The seven members would come from the following: the mayor would select the chair; the council would select three members; and one member would be sent from each of the following: the Alexandria Bar Association, the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, and the Alexandria Federation of Civic Associations.
In short, my immediate proposal will be for council to establish a study group to report back to us with recommendations for an ethics pledge, an ethics code, and an advisory commission. As you know, this morning I asked the City Attorney for an opinion in order to properly prepare for council action in January.
I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts and working with each of you. Thank you very much.


Discretion is referred as the power of the judiciary which enables them to make legal decisions at their own discretion. Throughout the criminal process discretion is evident, from the police to the regulatory agencies right through to the Crown Prosecution Service. "The essence of monocracy, the rule of law, is limitation of the discretion of officials, and providing a process by which errors or abuse of discretion can be corrected." (www.constitution.org ). Discretion is no doubt unavoidable, as the law cannot foresee every eventuality. However, with the sentencing guidelines, which came into force after the 2003 Criminal Justice Act, it has been able to help encourage consistency in the court room. "We trust officials to exercise such discretion as they have with wisdom, justice, and competence, to avoid government that is arbitrary, insolent, discriminatory, prejudiced, intrusive and corrupt." (www.constitution.org ). It has to be said discretion does have its advantages, "in the shape of flexibility to respond to different combination of facts." (Ashworth, 2005:30) Discretion of the judges when sentencing offenders can bring forth disadvantages, as the personal views of the decision-makers influencing the final decision. However, replacing discretion with set guidelines may eliminate these advantages and disadvantages.
Discretion within the United Kingdom's jurisdiction has changed over the decades. In English law the principals for sentencing are legislation, definitive sentencing guidelines as well as judicial decisions. Parliament passes statutes which create the framework for English sentencing law. For approximately every offence there are statutes which lay down a maximum sentence for judges to use as a guideline. The purpose of legislation is to impose orders for a criminal court to lay down after a conviction has been reached, and the legislation can limit the powers which the Magistrates Court hold. "Sentencing is the exercise of discretion," (Mc Kenzie, 2005:41) and legislation as part of the English sentencing law provides boundaries which can be characterised by considerable discretion.
The separation of powers in the aspect of sentencing has never been resolved. The principle implies that legislature controls the sentencing powers and the courts must apply the law imposed by Parliament. However, Parliament having superiority over the judiciary in terms of English sentencing law does bring forth the question about discretion of the judges to use their moral judgement to impose a sentence. Judicial discretion has been a prominent feature of English sentencing law for the past hundred years. During the first half of the nineteenth century judicial discretion was restricted by two factors. "There were maximum and minimum sentences for many offences, and several statutes provided a multiplicity of different offences with different graded maxima." (Ashworth, 2005:51) Judges found themselves with less desertion in the court room and in the later part of the nineteenth century, "were tightly constrained in their sentencing." (Ashworth, 2005:51) The Theft Act 1968 and the Criminal Damage Act 1971 replaced a substantial number of offences which dated back to the nineteenth century; these statutes increased the discretion of the judges. By the late 1990s the Lord Chief Justice delivered a number of guidelines for a small fraction of offences. However, by the introduction of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 two key changes were imposed. First was the creation of a Sentencing Advisory Panel whose main purpose was to draft guidelines and the second major change imposed was "the power of the Court of Appeal to give guideline judgements was restricted to offences on which it had received advice from the Sentencing Advisory Panel, although it was not bound to accept the Panel's advice." (Ashworth, 2005:33). This new change continued until the Criminal Justice Act 2003 changed the structure of the settings previously imposed.
The effect of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 was the establishment of a structured sentencing framework. A newly formed body, the Sentencing Guidelines Council works alongside the Sentencing Advisory Panel which was appointed under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. The two bodies work together to create authoritative guidance on sentencing within the English court rooms. "The Sentencing Guidelines Council's role is to encourage consistency of sentencing in all courts in England and Wales, supporting judges and magistrates in their decision-making." (www.sentencing-guidelines.gov.uk ) these new guidelines have reduced the moral judgement of judges, by reducing their discretion; before the guidelines were introduced the judges seemed to have more freedom using their moral judgement at their own discretion when imposing a sentence upon offenders. The Sentencing Guidelines have made an impact within the sentencing system of English sentencing law, but whether it is for the best or not has been subject to controversy over recent years.
When judges impose a sentence there is always a question of discretion against the rule of law. Many people are of the belief that sentencers should use their own moral judgement to be able to exercise sufficient discretion to every individual case, but on the other hand the question arises, does this remove the rule of law and the legislation in which the judge should follow when discussing sentencing. "The rule of law means that judicial decisions should be taken openly and by reference to standards declared in advance." (Ashworth, 2005:72) The Sentencing guidelines give judges guidance in advanced and their aim is to provide consistency and to remove unjustified sentences.
The role of judges is to apply appropriate law to the crime committed and impose a sentence which is proportionate to the crime committed. The judge uses' his or hers own moral judgement at his discretion to create a sentence which will not only rehabilitate the offender but also act as a deterrence to the general public. The judges can be influenced by certain factors and for this reason it is good idea for some of their discretion to be removed under the Sentencing Guidelines imposed after the 2003 Act.
Judges have experience and knowledge of the law and in sentencing offenders, thus should be trusted to exercise their moral judgement at their own discretion when imposing a sentence. However, how much discretion of their own moral judgement should a judge be allowed to exercise? A judge can bring his of hers own personal emotions to a case, and become personally involved to such a case, which may result in an unfair and unjustified sentence. For instance, perhaps a judge had been connected to person who was killed by a drunk driver and the same judge was sitting as a judge on a case where the defendant drink driving injured a person. The judges own morals and life experience on this may result in a harsher sentence than what may have been reached if the judge was not personally connected to the case. A judge's discretion should be used with caution.
The Sentencing Guidelines have enforced a structured framework which is hard for judges to use their moral judgements and experience to use discretion when imposing sentences. Geraldine Mc Kenzie when doing research of the UK Crown Court found that many judges didn't agree with the limitation of discretion due to these rigid guidelines. "Judicial discretion plays a pivotal role in the sentencing process. It is the judge's role to take all relevant factors into account and give a right and just sentence for the offender, the victim, and the community…there may be a range within which the case fits, but no two cases are the same." (McKenzie, 2005:45) The sentencing guidelines council working alongside the Sentencing Advisory Panel has experience and knowledge of the law. The Panel consists of judges, magistrates, academics, criminal justice practitioners and people from outside the criminal justice system, so the guidelines that are in place in our present jurisdiction are a good indication of what sentences are appropriate and proportionate to the crime committed, and thus judges should not need more discretion.

Salesforce data sources use a Teiid specific JCA connector that is deployed into WildFly 15.0.1 during installation. There are three versions of the salesforce resource adapter - salesforce, which currently provides connectivity to the 34.0 Salesforce API, salesforce-34, which provides connectivity to the 34.0 Salesforce API, and salesforce-41 which actually provides access to 37.0 through at least 45.0. The version 22.0 support has been removed.
If you need connectivity to an API version other than what is built in, you may try to use an existing connectivity pair, but in some circumstances - especially accessing a later remote api from an older java api - this is not possible and results in what appears to be hung connections. Please raise an issue if you cannot successfully access a specific API version.
There are many ways to create the salesforce data source, using CLI,AdminAPI, admin-console etc. The example shown below uses the CLI tool, as this works in both Standalone and Domain modes.
Execute following command using the CLI once you connected to the Server. Make sure you provide the correct URL and user credentials. Add any additional properties required by the connector by duplicating the "connection-definitions" command below. Edit the JNDI name to match the JNDI name you used in VDB.
that if you access a newer Salesforce API version than the resource adapter supports, you will receive low level metadata parsing exceptions - you can either access an older API or log an issue to have updated support.
To find out all the properties that are supported by this Salesforce Connector execute the following command in the CLI.
Developer's Tip - If WildFly 15.0.1 is running in standalone mode, you can also manually edit the "<jboss-install>/standalone/configuration/standalone-teiid.xml" file and add the XML configuration defined in *"<jboss-install>/docs/teiid/datasources/salesforce" directory under "resource-adapters" subsystem. Shutdown the server before you edit this file, and restart after the modifications are done.

Surely, this question ranks up there with life's unanswered questions. You know, questions like: When does it stop being partly cloudy and start becoming partly sunny? Or why is sandwich meat round when bread is square?
This FMLA/ADA conundrum apparently means a lot to Fredrick Capps. Fred was a mixing technician for Mondelez International, the company which brings us Oreo cookies and other yummy treats. Fred had a degenerative bone disease that required intermittent leave for flare-ups that affected his ability to walk, sit and stand. He was certified for intermittent leave, but the Oreo cookie company became skeptical after it learned that Fred had been arrested for driving under the influence on one of the days he called in sick. A logical concern, of course.
HR professionals across the country must be breathing a sigh of relief.
As I noted in Bloomberg BNA's Daily Labor Report earlier this week (pdf accessed here), employee requests for medical leave may or may not double as requests for an ADA reasonable accommodation. But it really is a distinction without a difference, and employers should not get caught up in the legal mumbo jumbo. In all my time representing employers, an HR Director or in-house counsel has never asked me to help them decide whether a leave request should double as an accommodation request. In the real world, it doesn't matter!
From a practical standpoint, when an employee requests leave from the job, the employer should use it as an opportunity to learn the basics about the employee's medical condition and how it affects his/her ability to do the job. Armed with this information, we can then engage the employee in a more informed dialogue about temporary adjustments we might be able to make to keep the employee on the job. Conversely, if we determine adjustments can't be made, a leave of absence may very well be the only option.
Let the attorneys argue over whether a request for FMLA leave doubles as a reasonable accommodation. In the meantime, we need not be afraid of the interactive process. In working diligently at creative, workable solutions to help keep employees on the job, employers will maintain the healthiest and most productive workplaces.

DIANE MEYER / Time Spent That Might Otherwise Be Forgotten
May 25 – September 23, 2016
I am interested in the failures of photography in preserving experience and personal history as well as the means by which photographs transform history into nostalgic objects that obscure understandings of the past.
Header image: New Jersey I, Diane Meyer
In series Time Spent That Might Otherwise Be Forgotten, cross stitch embroidery has been sewn directly into family photographs. The images are broken down and reformed through the embroidery into a hand-sewn pixel structure. As areas of the image are concealed by the embroidery, small, seemingly trivial details emerge while the larger picture and context are erased. I am interested in the disjunct between actual experience and photographic representation and photography's ability to supplant memory. By borrowing the visual language of digital imaging with an analog process, a connection is made between forgetting and digital file corruption. The tactility of the pieces also references the growing trend of photos remaining primarily digital- stored on cell phones and hard drives, but rarely printed out into a tangible object.
Diane Meyer received a BFA in Photography from New York University, Tisch School of the Arts in 1999 and an MFA in Visual Arts from The University of California, San Diego in 2002. She has been living in Los Angeles since 2005 where she is an Associate Professor of Photography at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles.
She has received grants from METRO Los Angeles, The City of Santa Monica Department of Cultural Affairs, The California Council for the Humanities California Stories Fund and the Durfee Foundation. She has been an artist in residence at Takt, Berlin; 18th Street Arts Center, Santa Monica; CUE Art Foundation, New York; Smack Mellon, Brooklyn; The Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Residency in the Woolworth Building.
Her work has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Winchester; the 18th Street Art Center, Santa Monica; AIR Gallery, NYC and The Society for Contemporary Photography, Kansas City; SPARC, South Pasadena; as well as numerous group shows in the United States and abroad including the Robert Mann Gallery, NYC; Regina Anzenberger Gallery, Vienna, Austria; Klompching Gallery, NYC; The Brattleboro Museum of Art, VT; ABC Treehouse, Amsterdam; Fototropia, Guatemala City; Schneider Gallery, Chicago; Field Projects, NYC; China House, Penang, Malaysia; Galerie Huit, Arles, France; Project 42, Alkmaar, The Netherlands; The Center for Photography at Woodstock, NY; The Helsinki Biennale, Finland; CUE Art Foundation, NYC; NEXT Art Fair, Chicago; Field Projects, New York; The Center for Fine Art Photography, Fort Collins; The Urban Institute of Contemporary Art, Grand Rapids; The Seaport Cultural Center, NYC; Cuchifritos Gallery, NYC; Jamaica Center for Arts and Learning, NYC; Lennox Contemporary, Toronto; Rotunda Gallery, NYC; Jen Bekman Gallery, NYC; Spaces Gallery, Cleveland; Jessica Murray Projects, NYC; Arthouse, Austin; and the Holter Museum of Art, Helena. dianemeyer.net


The harvest total from Sept. 16-22 was 6,363 pikeminnow (compared to 6,327 the week before) from 517 anglers (579) for a catch average of 12.3 fish per angler up from 10.9 the previous week with three tags recovered (two).
There was one tagged fish for every 2,121 pikeminnow caught (one for every 3,163 the week before).
The best catches this past week occurred at PortCo (Marine Park) with 29.0 fish per rod; Washougal with 28.5; Ridgefield with 23.7; Gleason with 20.4; and Greenbelt with 19.5.
Highest catch area for the season so far is Lyon's Ferry for 398 anglers with 6,506 fish for 16.3. The most effort and highest catch has occurred at The Dalles with 3,368 anglers with 26,265 fish for 7.8 and 27 tags recovered; and Boyer Park with 1,912 anglers with 24,145 fish for 12.6 and four tags recovered.


On Wednesday, July 15th, about 20 students, workers, and low-income earners - including Nova Scotia ACORN members - held an info picket outside the McDonalds on Quinpool Road. The campaign is fighting for fair wages for all workers across Nova Scotia. Minimum wage rose by 20 cents on April 1, 2015, but this small increase pales in comparison to the rising cost of rent, food, and other basic necessities.
Tired of wages staying low while rent goes up?

Latinos can win Texas with people power, with gente power
Diana Gómez
We must put an end to racial gerrymandering and Republican power grabs.
Toplines and Key Points:
Republicans have maintained electoral control in Texas through racial and partisan gerrymandering.
Latino Texans are half a percentage point from becoming the state's largest demographic group.
Our state has been hijacked by an extremist Republican minority using racist scissors that cut gerrymandered lines to cheat their way to power.
But we can take our state back with people power, with gente power.
It might feel like Groundhog Day with the never ending legislative sessions of 2021. However, Texas' third special session (beginning on Sept. 20) stands apart from the rest because it will finally tackle what many have been waiting for since last year's census count: redistricting.
Unfortunately, redistricting has an unjust and racist history in our state which is why courts have ruled nine times in the past decade that Texas maps are intentionally discriminatory. This is why it's more often called "gerrymandering," or the manipulation of the political process through the drawing of district lines that favor one political party. Gerrymandering allows politicians to choose their voters instead of voters choosing their politicians. This is how Republicans have maintained electoral control in Texas.
Have you ever noticed the ridiculous looking maps that stretch from the Rio Grande Valley to Central Texas or from Central Texas to Houston? Republicans have deceitfully sliced and diced districts in Texas to disenfranchise voters of color throughout history because they know of the progressive power we hold in numbers across the state. This is called racial gerrymandering, and it's supposed to be unconstitutional. Texas has lost a number of court cases concerning our state's maps because of this issue. However, partisan gerrymandering has been permitted by the Supreme Court, and it's often hard to tell the difference.
With another redistricting session upon us and Republicans in control of the Texas Legislature, this trend of racial and partisan gerrymandering is expected to continue. And this year, there's even more at stake.
Newly released Census data shows that in the last decade, Texas gained the most people of any state in the nation, with people of color making up 95% of that growth. And a majority of that growth was from Latino residents! Latino Texans are half a percentage point away from becoming the largest demographic group in our state.
Because of this growth, Texas gained two new congressional seats. But instead of increasing representation for the diverse communities responsible for that growth, Republicans are going to try to steal the seats for power. They know that Latinos turned out in record numbers during the 2020 election, and they've taken notice. With young Latinos making up a majority of the growth in Texas, it's bad news for the GOP's draconian, far-right agenda and they'll plan to consolidate power through disenfranchisement and gerrymandering.
It's a misconception to think that we are truly a red state and that Texas Latinos fall in step with Republican values. Our state has been hijacked by an extremist Republican minority block that is running around with racist scissors cutting up lines to cheat their way to power. But we can take our state back with people power, with gente power.
Testifying
There are opportunities for public comments on the new maps legislators will be drawing. These comments, especially from Latinos on racial how gerrymandering hurts their communities, will be essential in future litigation to fight these maps in the courts down the line. The Brennan Center has listed excellent tips for making effective comments at a redistricting hearing.
Though Republicans continue to put up barriers to voting, we cannot let them win. Texans must organize within their communities to resist GOP voter suppression efforts. Keep showing up to the ballot box with your friends and family members, and together, we can change the future of our state for the next generation.
We need more folks in power who actually represent our diverse state, especially in seats our communities were responsible for creating. Texas needs more progressive Latino leaders running for office to reflect our population growth. It's time to step up and invest in ourselves. These politicians can't keep making laws about us, without us!
As Hispanic Heritage month kicks off, why not celebrate by fighting for our community, our values, and taking back our state?

Hello and welcome to the March issue of ScanZone. Just like the weather, the IT industry has been blowing hot and cold, with the launch of some exciting, but expensive products such as the Intel 730 SSDs and another service pack for Windows 8 that makes it look and respond more like Windows 7. Scan has also been busy, being awarded a Royal Warrant of Appointment as supplier to Her Majesty the Queen. Read on to find out more.
In September last year Intel announced that it was working on a new family of SSDs that could be overclocked for improved performance. Turn the clock forward six months and that new range has been released as the 730-series.
Unlike the prototypes that were floating around the industry last year, the production 730-series SSDs cannot be overclocked, instead Intel pre-overclocks them. This removes the biggest headache about the prototype overclockable SSDs – data loss if you overclocked them too far.
Continuing the good news, Intel has switched to a new controller. So, rather than using an off-the-shelf SandForce controller like Intel's consumer SSDs do, the 730-series uses the Tisdale controller used in the enterprise-class DC S3500-series SSDs used in many servers. While the Tisdale controller only runs at 400MHz in the DC S3500-series, in the 730-series it runs at 600MHz. The MLC NAND chips are also overclocked in the 730-series, up from 83MHz to 100MHz. Coming from an enterprise-class SSD background the 730-series also has greater endurance than most consumer SSDs, with Intel stating that it can handle up to 70GB of writing a day compared to 20GB for a consumer-class SSD such as the 530-series.
As you'd expect from an overclocked enterprise-class SSD, the 730-series delivers great performance in all workloads, making it definitely worth keeping an eye on for anybody building a high performance gaming PC or professional workstation. That said, the 730-series does command a serious price premium, with the 240GB drive clocking in at £177 and the 480GB drive measuring in at £347, between £50 and £100 more expensive than similar performing drives from Samsung and the like. Even so, it's great to see Intel innovating in the SSD market after a long period of stagnation by many of the players in the market.
Scan 3XS manufactures thousands of systems every month, each tailored to run specification applications and games. However, we know that some customers would simply prefer to see all the possible combinations of components and spec up a PC the way they would like.
That's why this month we've launched a new section on the 3XS website called Your PC, Your Way. In this new section we've built four new highly flexible configurators, one for each of the major CPU sockets – Intel 1150, Intel 2011, AMD FM2 and AMD AM3. Simply choose which processor family you want, Intel or AMD, then go ahead and customise the other components in your PC, your way. Our award-winning team will then build, test and deliver your custom PC the way you want it.
If you upgrade to a GeForce GTX 660, 670, 680, 760, 770, 780 or 780 Ti graphics card this month you'll also a free digital copy of the upcoming game Daylight. Due to be released on 9th April, Daylight is a first-person survival psychological horror game set in an abandoned hospital. The really clever thing about Daylight is that the world is procedurally generated meaning that you'll get a new spine-chilling experience every time you play. Find out more on our website.
Alternatively if you buy a GeForce GTX 650, 650 Ti, 750 or 750 Ti graphics card you'll get £90 of vouchers to spend in the free-to-play games Heroes of Newerth, Path of Exile and Warface. Find out more on our website.
Windows 8.1 may only be a few months old, but Microsoft is due to release another major update, imaginatively named Update 1 shortly. However, while Update 1 may not have an exciting name it is worth paying attention to because it once again sees Microsoft making its latest OS more accessible for keyboard and mouse users, i.e. the majority of desktop and laptop PC users.
For example, rather than hiding away the Charms menu off-screen until you gesture it to open, Update 1 adds icons for the Power and Search menus on the Start screen. You'll also be able to customise the appearance of the Start screen more easily by right clicking on tiles. You'll also now able to access the Taskbar within full-screen Windows Store applications and the Start screen instead of having to return to the desktop view, making switching between applications far faster. Alternatively, these full screen Windows Store applications can now also be minimised with the mouse too thanks to the addition of a title bar at the top of the screen.
Finally casual observers will also spot the addition of a new application – OneDrive. However, this in reality is the new name for Microsoft's own cloud storage service that used to be called SkyDrive until Sky successfully won a trademark infringement against Microsoft last summer.
Keep an eye on Windows Update around early April so you can install Update 1 on your PC.

← Does Levelling Up mean Softening Up
Guarantees, cladding and the housing market →
Building Back Better (in due course)
Posted: May 12, 2021 | Author: julesbirch | Filed under: Fire safety, Leasehold, Planning, Private renting, Social housing | Tags: Queen's Speech 2021 |Leave a comment
Building back better? Safer? Fairer? How about slower?
At first glance this is a Queen's Speech that looks full of welcome reforms to planning and the delivery of new homes, conditions for renters and leaseholders and building safety. Scratch beneath the surface in the background briefing notes, though, and big questions remain and there are big battles to come.
Ahead of the speech, the Planning Bill was spun as 'cruical' to levelling up, a way to cement Conservative advances in the Midlands and North by boosting home ownership.
But that ignores the battle to come with Tory backbenchers over housebuilding in the South East.
A cynical outcome from the white paper would be to emphasise local growth as you allow councils in expensive areas to designate large parts of them for protection. This would do next to nothing to tackle affordability – or address the very real questions about the future of Section 106 – but the politics will be very tempting.
In the wake of Grenfell, the government will 'continue to deliver on the Social Housing White Paper proposals' and 'legislate as soon as practicable'.
But Grenfell was almost four years ago and the social housing white paper that was published in November that took more than three years. Practicable? Grenfell United has already called it a 'betrayal'.
Improvements will come in the proposed Building Safety Bill which is at last delivering on the improved regime promised after the fire.
However, that in itself is a delayed opportunity to address the plight of hundreds of thousands of leaseholders after ministers steadfastly resisted all amendments to the Fire Safety Bill to make it clear they should not have to pay for problems that are not their fault. The stage is set for another huge Commons battle.
In the private rented sector, 'the Government is committed to building back fairer and having a Better Deal for Renters in England'. That translates into publishing a response to consultation on abolishing Section 21, outlining proposals for a new lifetime deposit and improving standards by driving out bad landlords, including 'exploring the merits of a landlord register'.
A white paper will be published in the Autumn and legislation will follow 'in due course'.
All of which sounds great until you realise two things. First, a Renters' Reform Bill was promised 17 months ago in the Queen's Speech in December 2019 with no mention of a white paper first. Extra scrutiny in a white paper may reduce the chances of bad legislation but reform is receding into the distance.
Second, while that reference to landlord registration is welcome, this was recommended 13 years ago in the Rugg review for the last Labour government. What took this one so long?
The only question seems to be which will take longer: 'as soon as practicable' or 'in due course' or 'exploring'?
It's a similar story on leasehold. It's great news that the Leasehold Reform (Ground Rent) Bill will 'tackle the inconsistency and ambiguity of ground rents for future leaseholders' but the scandal of new homes with doubling ground rents goes back more than a decade.
And it looks like the Bill will do the easy bit of leasehold reform, leaving the more difficult issue of how to help existing leaseholders and implement recommendations by the Law Commission for another occasion.
As always, the devil will be in the detail of all this legislation – if and when it eventually arrives – and there are major parliamentary battles to come on key aspects of it.
If changes for the better in housing are arriving slowly, at least they are quicker than reform of social care (delayed yet again) and workers' rights after Brexit (a promised Employment Bill does not appear at all).

Forensic experts excavating a mass grave in eastern Bosnia have exhumed the partial remains of 240 people believed to have been victims of the massacre in Srebrenica, indicating a possible cover-up, an official said.
to hide the crime, said Murat Hurtic on Tuesday, an official with the missing persons commission in Bosnia.
"We did not find a single skull intact, and by the state of some of the remains where we found just several bones, we deem this is a secondary mass grave," Hurtic said.
Forensics teams excavating secondary mass graves in the past have uncovered evidence that bulldozers were used to move remains to new sites and have often found parts of the same body in two or three locations.
After 35 days of work, Hurtic said his team completed the exhumations on Monday in the eastern village of Liplje.
No documents were found on the bodies, but Hurtic said the personal belongings buried with them indicate they were Bosnian Muslims killed in the 1995 massacre in Srebrenica, the worst slaughter of civilians in Europe since the second world war.
"We did not find a single skull intact, and by the state of some of the remains where we found just several bones, we deem this is a secondary mass grave"
Serb troops overran the eastern Bosnian enclave, which had been declared a safe zone by the United Nations, and killed as many as 8000 Muslim civilians, mainly men and boys.
The remains will undergo DNA analysis in an attempt to identify them.
Over the years, UN and local forensics experts in Bosnia have exhumed 16,500 bodies from more than 300 mass graves. Thousands of people remain missing and are presumed dead.
About 260,000 people were killed and 1.8 million driven from their homes during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war.

-You can't sync individual playlists, you must sync all playlists from iTunes to WMP or WMP to iTunes. I would like to be able to choose which playlists I sync in the future.
-Some functions require both WMP and iTunes to be open in order to work correctly.
This is a small but powerful tool that synchronizes iTunes and WMP with few problems. It's fast and gets the job done.
Will easily transfer all information about MP3's from WMP to itunes as long as the songs are on your list for both. Does it fast.
Overall, it does what it suppose to do. I've been moving my MP3's a lot lately due to new computers. itunes does not recognize the ratings for my songs on the ID3 tags on MP3's, which was annoying. WMP did, but I needed to sync my music to an ipod. Musicbridge takes info from WMP and puts it to itunes, such as ratings for songs.
"Copied playlists across flawlessly from iTunes to WMP"
"excellent way of syncing music; however, minor glitches"
It allowed me to sync my Itunes playlists with Windows Media Player seamlessly. No hassles. Its so fast. Simple and robust software.
None. Just simple and straight forward.
To sync Itunes and Windows Media Player, this is the perfect simple robust tool to do it right the first time.
My wav music files in WMP just don't get transfered to iTunes when running the program.
"Perfect, Exactly what i need"
I liked almost everything, If i had to chose i would probly choose the poor interface with poor instructions and the album art didnt work but WMP found new ones and some glitches with playlist but only afew songs.
Amazing, I have been using iTunes and i have organized all my music via iTunes, After transferring from a iPod nano 1 gen to a Sansa Fuze v2 i realized iTunes wouldn't work, I was dreading fixing my playlist and details but this made it easy, None of the cons made a difference for me.
This is one of the few programs I've downloaded on CNET which just crashed evertime I pressed a button.

2016-17 Team Profile: Buducnost VOLI Podgorica
Aug 16, 2016 by Eurocupbasketball.com Print
Buducnost returned to the Eurocup for the eighth time in nine seasons, but did not advance out of its regular season group. Buducnost had a strong start with a 13-point home win against Banvit Bandirma and also beat a strong Unics Kazan side by 10 points in the Montenegrin capital. However, four road defeats put the team in a 2-4 hole and Buducnost never recovered. The team registered a couple more double-digit victories on its home floor – a 19-point beating of Aris Thessaloniki and a 33-point thrashing of Steaua Bucharest, but failing to win away from home combined with a tight home loss to Trabzonspor eliminated Buducnost from Last 32 contention.
SEASON COMPETITION RECORD FINISH
2002-03 Euroleague 2-12 Regular Season
2010-11 Euroleague 7-5 Playoffs
TOTAL: 12-28
2015-16 Eurocup 4-6 Regular Season
2014-15 Eurocup 4-12 Last 32
2012-13 Eurocup 7-7 Quarterfinal
2007-08 ULEB Cup 8-4 Last 32
2004-05 ULEB Cup 4-6 Regular Season
Founded in 1949, it took four decades for Buducnost to cement its place in the first division of the Yugoslav League. By the end of the century, however, it was the team to beat. After Yugoslav Cup titles in 1996 and 1998, Dejan Tomasevic, Milenko Topic and Vlado Scepanovic helped Buducnost to a record-setting domestic winning streak of 51 games and three straight Yugoslav League titles from 1999 to 2001. Another Cup triumph made for a double in 2001 and Buducnost proved to be a force in the 2000-01 Euroleague by reaching the playoffs. The club returned to the Euroleague for the next two years, but failed to reach the Top 16. A quieter period followed before Buducnost became the new team to beat in the newborn Montenegrin League. The club has won every league title from the inaugural 2006-07 campaign, while also leaving its mark in the Eurocup. Over a span of four seasons, Buducnost has reached the Eurocup quarterfinals twice - in 2011-12 and 2012-13 – and was ousted only by Valencia Basket and eventual champ Lokomotiv Kuban Krasnodar, respectively. At home, Buducnost has won the Montenegrin double for six straight years, from 2007 to 2012. It won the seventh of ten consecutive league crowns in 2013, and a year later started another string of Montenegrin doubles, but also a string of three consecutive Adriatic League semifinal appearances. In 2014-15, the team advanced through the Eurocup regular season and into the Last 32 and also lost a decisive fifth game of the Adriatic League semifinal series against Cedevita Zagreb. However the team bounced back by winning the Montenegrin League against Sutjeska and the Cup by routing Zeta. Last season, Buducnost won the Adriatic League regular season, but failed to reach its first ever finals after getting swept in the best-of-three playoff semifinals against Mega Leks. In Montenegro, however, the club continued its dominance. Buducnost routed Mornar Bar to lift the Cup and won its tenth league title by beating the same opponent 3-1 in the playoff finals.

Spartan Kettlebells was founded in August 2013 by Maja Vähä.
Maja, born and raised in the north of Sweden, with a vast training background in various sports, from football and ice hockey to boxing, dancing and cross country skiing, had always had a great interest for training and fitness and one of her dreams was always to become a group training instructor and to work with fitness in some way. But with a career in gaming and many other interests in parallel to this, she didn't get around to actually to it until her mid-twenties.
In 2011, Maja took the first step towards a career in fitness, with a course in anatomy and physiology in Sweden. This was quickly followed by an extensive fitness instructor course with specialization in exercise to music here in Malta which enabled her to start working as an instructor in various gyms.
'I loved giving choreography classes, it's really fun, but I always felt that the actual training result for the participants was not great. I saw people coming to the gym and 'doing their time' without ever getting any real results or getting better at what they did.
I got into crossfit and functional training and identified more with the concept of training for life than for the beach or for a wedding or something else short term. To get stronger and better and to be able to do everyday movements instead of spending hours on a treadmill believing it will make you lose weight etc, and not really enjoying the time you put in.
The more I learnt about modern training methods and nutrition, the more I wanted to provide a training concept that was effective and fun, AND gave results fast! And to get people to understand that there are no short cuts to being healthy and fit, you simply have to do the work and eat natural, healthy food!
Maja started giving kettlebell classes in a studio in Sliema that she rented, and on the beaches around Sliema and St Julians. It soon became very popular and she held numerous classes a week to meet the demand.
Maja's sister Linnea had been her guinea pig since day one and saw some great results happening quite fast. She quickly got hooked on kettlebell training as well. She joined for pretty much every class on the beach and in the studio, loved it and soon felt that she wanted to become an instructor as well.
So during the summer of 2013, Linnea attended two different kettlebell instructor courses and started holding a couple of classes a week in the studio.
'After some time in studio and doing classes outdoors, I really felt that I wanted to have my own place, where we could have as many classes as we wanted, and where Linnea could also hold more classes, but also other activities such as nutrition courses and competitions etc. So I started looking for a place to rent.
Soon I found the first Spartan garage, in Balluta Bay, St Julians. Up until here all activities had been under the name Maja Of Sweden – Kettlebell Training.
With our very own gym, we had a lot more opportunities and we expanded into doing more crossfit style classes as well as weight lifting and gymnastic style classes, and recruited more instructors as well.
We have had countless great training sessions, coffee breaks, competitions and other events in what we can call Spartan 1.0 in Balluta Bay. Many new Spartans came along, new gym dogs were introduced and many personal records were broken.
But we grew out of the premises the next summer, and had to start looking for Spartan 2.0. After quite a lot of searching we found our current premises in Spinola Bay, St Julians. Bigger, better and fresher, and with more possibilities!
Again, we had to renovate and paint, but this time, we had our lovely members to help out! So over a few months, we did up yet another garage, and this time it truly looked awesome!
With the re-launch and new opening of Spartan Kettlebells, Maja and Linnea also formed the company Spartan Fitness, under which the gym now is run.
Let's see what the future has in store for us. At the moment, we are very happy where we are, with the gym we have, and more than anything the members that we with us!

When subzero temperatures arrive, it's not time to enjoy the great outdoors.
A windchill that dips well below 0°F is dangerous and deadly. Unless you need to travel for work or have an emergency, you should stay indoors.
Every moment is critical when you're having a stroke. In fact, the severity of 8 out of 10 strokes can be limited by fast action. If a stroke patient reaches emergency help within 3 hours, a stroke drug called tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) can give them a much better chance of survival and recovery.
Unfortunately, public awareness of common stroke symptoms and the benefits of tPA remains low, despite years of efforts by the American Stroke Association and other groups. Surveys show most people still don't realize that there is a lifesaving drug available - or that it must be administered so quickly.
The Fourth of July holiday is a special time in every community. We not only honor our country's independence, but enjoy time with family and friends.
Celebrations traditionally include cookouts and fireworks. A good time is had by all – until an accident happens. Nationwide, there are an average of 400 deaths and 41,000 injuries –including car crashes, swimming incidents and fireworks accidents – during the July 4th holiday period.
Kids bump and bang their way through their early years. They also pick up nasty bugs.
They are kids. That's what they do.
For parents, especially new parents, realizing the seriousness of injury or illness can be agonizing.
A ding to the head can cause a lot of bleeding (compared to a scrape on the knee) - simply because there are more blood vessels in the noggin. A fever spike usually can be treated with a small dose of Tylenol and a cool cloth.
When, though, should you scoop up the child and head to the Emergency Room - or, in more urgent cases, dial 911?
Diabetics, diagnosed as someone with extraordinarily high blood sugars, sometimes experience quite the opposite. And when they do, it is important to treat low blood sugar conditions promptly.
Hypoglycemia can happen when diabetics take too much insulin, don't consume enough calories or expend more energy than planned.
A blood glucose level of less than 70 mg/dl is generally considered low, according to the Joslin Diabetes Center. Severely low blood sugar levels can lead to a coma or could be fatal.
If detected quickly, low blood sugars can be treated at home without having to make a trip to the doctor or emergency room. That is why it is important for family members, friends or caretakers to recognize the signs of hypoglycemia and know how to respond.
When a sudden illness or accident strikes you, your child, or aging parent, it can be confusing and stressful to decide where to go for help.
Naturally, in severe or life-threatening emergencies we know to call 911. However, those times that fall in the gray area of "should I take my child to Urgent Care or the Emergency Room" can be fraught with worry and concern.
The decisions are quick, peppered with lots of stress and adrenaline.
When someone needs immediate care, it is difficult to think about anything other than getting them to the hospital. At best, you are dealing with someone's need for emergency care. At worst, you are trying to save their life.
Unless you are doing life-saving measures such as CPR, there are ways you can help prepare someone for a trip to the Emergency Room.
If paramedics have arrived and are rendering first aid, you should take a few moments to gather some important items that will be needed upon arrival to the Emergency Room.
