Q: What programming stack should I be using to quickly develop a web application with sophisticated gui? I am developing a webapp that communicates with a backend which performs intensive numerical calculations and then displays the output nicely on screen. I need the web-end to be sophisticated and look good.
Any suggestions about the programming stack I should use?

A: By stack do you mean scripting language or CMS?
If former I'd say PHP, if latter, I'd guess at Droopal but CMS isn't really my thing.
I guess you mean all of them. Depends how much effort you want to put in. Adobe is 'flashy' but pricey and a lot of work, I'd rather hand code so I know how to recreate/reformat it.
Bluefish wasn't much use to me. But Kompozer is worth a look if you have a $0 budget?

A: Choose a framework, you already know at least a bit about - since that would make you more productive. Some suggestions:

*

*Google Web Toolkit

*jQuery UI

*backbone.js

A: I prefer the immensely supported, documented, and professionalism of Visual Studio 2010/ASP.NET MVC3/SQL Server 2008.
You ask for suggestions and that's mine. The Razor syntax in MVC 3 makes it so easy for developers to integrate server code within their front end to do extra manipulation, and the .NET platform is easily capable of doing numerical calculations server side.
You could also probably get a lot of stuff done in the database itself.

Instagram is building a standalone app for shopping
Facebook is planning a major new move into e-commerce, sources tell The Verge
By Casey Newton@CaseyNewton Sep 4, 2018, 4:38pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Instagram is building a standalone app for shopping
Instagram is working on a new standalone app dedicated to shopping, The Verge has learned. The app — which may be called IG Shopping — will let users browse collections of goods from merchants that they follow and purchase them directly within the app, according to two people familiar with the matter. Instagram declined to comment.
It could not be learned when the app might launch. Its development is still ongoing, and it could be canceled before it is released. But sources familiar with its development say Instagram believes it is well positioned to make a major expansion into e-commerce.
More than 25 million businesses already have Instagram accounts, and 2 million of them are advertisers, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said on the company's most recent earnings call. Four in five Instagram users follow at least one business. Creating a standalone app would allow the company to provide a dedicated home for an increasingly popular activity on Instagram while also expanding opportunities for revenue.
Over time, Facebook could introduce more tools for merchants who are building their businesses on Instagram, directly challenging e-commerce platforms like Shopify, according to a person familiar with the company's thinking. Most online businesses need an Instagram account already, the thinking goes; many of them would surely use paid business tools if they became available.
Some companies already sell such tools to Instagram advertisers. Four Sixty, for example, lets businesses pay for help creating shoppable photo galleries, content moderation, post scheduling, and other services. Shopify's app store contains dozens of plugins related to promoting and managing Instagram-based businesses.
Instagram began testing a shopping feature in November in 2016, and rolled it out more broadly in March of last year. Companies can tag posts with individual products, allowing users to shop directly from photos. Instagram is currently testing a feature that lets users shop from Instagram stories.
Shopping would not be the first Instagram feature to be spun out into a standalone app. The company has been testing Direct, a new messaging app, since last December. In June it introduced IGTV, a YouTube competitor that puts vertically shot videos into their own app.

Volume CXL: The Thursday Thing King Edition; Sergeant Catherine's Honour Lost in the Woods?
19Nov 2020 19 Nov 2020
Hello every One and welcome to the Thursday Thing King Edition, thank King You for being here. It Will probably be a short one today as it has been difficult to get My Mind off the whole Estate Matter recently, and somewhat frustrating to see just how much Canada's law enforcement agencies abdicate from their judicial oath of office when it comes time to Honour their Word to the People – or franky, whenever it seems convenient for them to do so.
Sergeant Catherine Woods went from being one of the most admirable and Honourable Characters I have have been compelled to deal with, to the most deplorable and deceitful Characters I have ever met. It appears there was absolutely no intent to Honour the conditions of the conditional release form that was Given to Catherine, though she did use it to 'close out the file', meaning that My complaint is considered 'resolved' and cannot be reopened. Catherine's only goal was to gain My Trust for long enough for Me to Sign a release form to conditions she had zero intention of ever Honouring. I honestly don't know how People like Catherine sleep at night, and I told her that.
I also told her (in not exactly these Words) that I believe her Actions are a disgrace to her profession and her position as Sergeant. Catherine has proven that she has no Idea what the difference is between the Common Law and a commercial offence, and places higher precedence on commercial Matters than the inherent (God Given) rights of Canada's People those codes, statutes and Acts were designed to protect in the first place. And she tells Me she is in training! I hope she is being trained, not the one Giving instruction, or We are all in trouble!
I did send Catherine an Email to advise her that I believe she is abdicating her Oath and in breach of public Trust for failing to Honour her duties and obligations to Protect the Inherent (God Given) rights of Canada's People in services of her Duties to Honour Queen Elizabeth II's Promise to Canada's People. I told her this Notice of her abdication of her Oath of Office Will also be published on the public record, and I do not like to disappoint, so here it is:
I reported a crime to You of trespass upon My inherent rights and You are doing nothing to protect those rights and I was under the impression that was Your job and Sworn Oath of office. So You are breaching Your oath to defend My rights so that a law firm can extort $150,000 worth of property from Me? And You don't believe that reporting this crime to You and Your determination to do NOTHING to report it or stop it is not in any Way a breach of Your Oath of Office, or a breach of Your Trust relationship with Me?
If it is not the job of local police to protect My legally afforded rights, then who's job is it?
A crime is being committed, either You are aiding and abetting this crime, or You are going to work with Me to prevent it. Which is it going to be? You Will be held criminally and commercially liable for Your negligence if You fail to Honour Your duties.
You are hereby Given notice of these Facts.
King Sean.
House of von Dehn,
Hand of Stephen,
Kingdom of God.
Catherine responded with some other lame excuse about having to come down to the station to file an official report which is probably True in accordance to their typical procedures, but it is NOT required to file a Common Law crime with the police. To file a Common Law crime, You simply report it to the police and if they do nothing, they are criminally negligent in their duties and liable to the individual for any harm. So now Catherine's name goes on the list of government officials God is Officially displeased with.
The irony here, is that Catherine says her main goal is to re-establish Trust in the community. How exactly? By making promises to People You have no intention to Keep? You Willfully betrayed Me to get what You Wish, then failed to perform as You promised. Catherine Wood, You have all but obliterated My ability to Trust any One wearing a police uniform because You have confirmed they Will lie, cheat and steal to get whatever they Wish and have zero accountability or remorse for who they harm to achieve their goal. Never have I been more disappointed with an individual than I am with Catherine Wood. She emulates everything the department stands for – fraud.

Hispanic American Police Command Officers' Association
National Capitol Region
Line of Duty Death - Police Officer Brennan Rabain #3912
The Hispanic American Police Command Officers' Association & the Hispanic National Law Enforcement Association sends its condolences to the Prince George's County Police Department family and the family of Fallen Officer Brennan Rabain #3912 , who was killed in a departmental accident while attempting a traffic stop.
UBPOA, HAPCOA & HNLEA sit on Expert Panel
The U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) Office of Justice Programs' (OJP) Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is working to develop a web-based toolkit for police agencies adopting Body Worn Camera programs. Intended as a clearinghouse for information and resources, the toolkit will provide guidance and act as a model policy for law enforcement agencies across the United States.
On Friday, February 27, 2015, the BJA hosted the Body-Worn Camera panel at the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the West Wing of the Whitehouse. Locally invited panel members included representatives from the Hispanic American Police Command Officers' Association (HAPCOA), the United Black Police Officers' Association (UBPOA) and the Hispanic National Law Enforcement Association (HNLEA). Panel experts addressed a number of professional, legal, and social issues related to the adoption of Body-Worn Cameras. Other panel experts from around the Country offered their experience and technical expertise to ensure that a comprehensive toolkit could be assembled. National representatives include those from the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE), National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Chief of Police of Pittsburgh Police Department, Chief of Police of New Orleans Police Department, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers (NACDL), Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Sheriff, and other criminal justice partners.
UBPOA President Thomas Boone,
HAPCOA-NCR President Joe Perez
During the panel discussion, BJA Director, Denise O'Donnell encouraged participants to share their insights and experiences regarding the implementation and use of body worn cameras. In particular, what lessons have been learned that would assist agencies and advocates to implement their own body-worn camera programs? What issues may agencies encounter with regard to officer and citizen privacy rights? Where are there gaps in existing resources that could be addressed through the body-worn camera toolkit?
Through panel discussion the group was able to provide content for the toolkit that will ensure transparency and diversity of perspective. All panel member participants were honored for having been invited and appreciate the opportunity to be on the ground floor with setting national police standards.
HAPCOA Submits Testimony to Presidential Task Force on 21st Century Policing
The Hispanic American Police Command Officers Association (HAPCOA) was invited to provide testimony to the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing (Task Force). This time HAPCOA provided testimony in support of the fourth public listening session on the topic of Community Policing and Crime Prevention.
The Task Force, established by an executive order signed by President Barack Obama on December 18, 2014, is charged with identifying ways to strengthen public trust and foster strong relationships between local law enforcement and the communities that they protect while also promoting effective crime reduction. HAPCOA will also address these timely issues at its 42nd Annual National Law Enforcement Training Symposium in San Antonio, TX in November 2015.
The Community Policing and Crime Prevention listening session was held in Phoenix, AZ on Friday, February 13, 2015 at the Phoenix Convention Center.
Here is the testimony submitted for publication by HAPCOA National President Don Tijernia:
TESTIMONY PROVIDED BY THE HISPANIC AMERICAN POLICE COMMAND OFFICERS ASSOCIATION
The Hispanic American Police Command Officers Association (HAPCOA) in support of the President's Task Force on 21st Century Policing provides the following testimony at its fourth public listening session on the topic of Community Policing and Crime Reduction.
Unfortunately, we were unable to appear in person to deliver this testimony before the Task Force session held in Phoenix, AZ on Friday, February 13, 2015.
HAPCOA is a non-profit membership organization established in 1973, and is today the oldest and largest association in the U.S. of Hispanic American command officers from law enforcement and criminal justice agencies at the municipal, county, state and federal levels. Our membership represents law enforcement agencies from across the United States and Puerto Rico, many of whom are active in local chapters. HAPCOA is a national organization with a local presence.
The mission of HAPCOA is to "empower the future of law enforcement" by assisting law enforcement, criminal justice and community organizations nationwide in their efforts to recruit, train and promote qualified Hispanic American men and women committed to a career in the criminal justice arena and to communities in which they serve and protect. Additionally, HAPCOA serves to assist in the promotion and development of Hispanics in law enforcement and to serve as an advocate for Hispanic law enforcement issues.
The changing demographics of the 21st Century within the United States brings to the forefront the need for the Task Force to focus on building community trust, constitutional policing, the reengineering of community policing, the building of effective crime reduction and deployment strategies, improved organizational structure, the building of partnerships, tactics and in respect to further research on best practices as pertains to the emerging Hispanic community – nationwide.
PUBLIC TRUST POLICING/REENGINEERING COMMUNITY POLICING AND PARTNERSHIPS
HAPCOA and DOJ, National Institute of Justice (NIJ) joined forces in 2002, to produce a video designed to foster closer relationships, trust and a spirit of sharing in the common goals of crime prevention and community safety between the Police and the Community. This video and accompanying document was entitled: Community Oriented Policing for the Hispanic Community ("Policia Orientado a la Comunidad") (https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/194910.pdf)
HAPCOA recommends that we reorganize as a team (Task Force) and now produce an updated film that we can share with all law enforcement agencies and the communities that they serve. This new product will be produced in partnership with HAPCOA, members of the community, area law enforcement and funded by either COPS and/or NIJ.
HAPCOA is prepared to provide a copy of the video and accompanying brochure (in both English and Spanish) to all who attend its 2015 National Law Enforcement Training Symposium (November 2015).
The production of this product represents a reengineering of community policing, and an inclusion of community partnerships, as it also redefines the community as one that now includes an emerging Hispanic population (where before one might not have existed in the past), a community that is bilingual/bicultural, and younger. In doing so, we demonstrate law enforcements desire to build, regain, establish, and maintain the public trust.
HAPCOA recommends that 21st Century Policing must embrace and include Hispanic Officers in command roles if indeed they intend on accomplishing a structure that understands and represents the community that it serves.
Recruitment of a qualified diverse law enforcement agency is now a given. Departments in communities with historically large Hispanic communities continue to actively recruit, train and include into their roll calls an increasing number of Hispanic Officers. The next step is to further train, mentor and promote qualified Hispanics into command level positions in all agencies, municipal, county, state and Federal Agencies.
The successful 21st Century Policing organizational structure will be able to proudly demonstrate a command structure that also reflects the community it serves.
BEST PRACTICES/TACTICAL OPERATIONS
HAPCOA recommends that best practices must also include the requirement of Spanish speaking officers and their value as officers that maintain the public trust, improve police reporting, and improve crime prevention and community safety.
HAPCOA also recommends the need to evaluate tactical operations that would include Spanish language training and cultural sensitivity classes that would enhance operational success and ensure the safety of tactical officers.
HAPCOA has for over 40 years prepared its members to take the lead and represent the future of law enforcement in the communities that we serve. The community that we serve in the 21st Century will now include the entire United States.
Enhancing law enforcements abilities to engage the emerging Hispanic community, as partners in crime prevention and community safety will build public trust. Building public trust also helps ensure officers safety.

Some of the best music comes out for the summer season. Remember Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer" in 1984, or Bananarama's "Cruel Summer" the season before? Alice Cooper's big hit, "School's Out for the Summer" from 1972, rated the last day of school the best holiday after Christmas. Here are some great party songs to take to the beach for when you're relaxing on the sand, riding cruiser bikes around town or sitting in the park with a group of friends.
"Wild Thoughts" – DJ Khaled ft. Rihanna
Some reviewers are calling this song "timeless." It has a Latin beat and acoustic guitar with a lot of energy. The song went to number one in the United Kingdom, reached number two in Canada, Australia and the United States.
"Miami" – Will Smith
There's practically no other city that screams summer other than Miami. Even when the rest of the country is experiencing ice and snow, you can still enjoy a ride on your women's cruiser bike. This song might be from an older decade, it's a great party hit.
"Heatstroke" – Calvin Harris ft. Young Thug, Pharrell, and Ariana Grande
An Australian news site described this song as "sun-kissed disco funk delight." It's a hip-hop dance song that features quite a few A-listers. It's just a great tune to add to your playlist.
"Sunset Lover" – Petit Biscuit
Although this song never made it to the American charts, it's got a great summer vibe. It's a little more laidback than some of the party songs, so you can catch your breath and relax while you're riding men's bikes through the mountains.
"Let's Go Surfing" – The Drums
"Honey, take a run down to the beach" is one of the lyrics of this song. It's about hitting the waves in the morning to go surfing with your sweetheart. The song has a great beat and will make you want to get up and dance.
"Jammin" – Bob Marley
One of the quintessential voices of reggae and all things party, Marley's "Jammin" is a traditional beach song that you'll hear whenever you're on the waterfront, regardless of the season. Put it on your playlist to really appreciate this legendary musician.
"Cake By The Ocean"- DNCE
The lyrics of this song may have some suggestive undertones, but it's what makes it such as fun song for riding. It's got a great tempo for dancing. You can also find a cleaned-up version of the song, so you can listen to it at work.
"It's Five O'Clock Somewhere" – Alan Jackson and Jimmy Buffett
If you're into a country beat, you'll want to include this tune in your lineup. It's a great reminder to take time to enjoy the beach and relax, especially when you're having a rough day.
"Pink Sunglasses" – Miranda Lambert
"In my pink sunglasses/ Always makes the world look a little better" reminds you that summer needs to include something fun and fashionable. Find something frivolous that gives you pleasure, a bright yellow hat, purple sandals or pink sunglasses.
Shop for men's and women's bikes to get around town this summer and enjoy a new adventure in the sun.

'Vampire Diaries,' 'Originals' add a bunch of new faces
By Natalie Abrams
July 27, 2015 at 12:00 PM EDT
Annette Brown/The CW; Quantrell D. Colbert/The CW
The Vampire Diaries and The Originals went on a casting spree, adding seven new characters between the two shows — and EW has the scoop on all the new faces you'll be meeting in the fall.
On The Originals, EW can exclusively reveal the additions of Lawrence Kao (The Walking Dead) and Oliver Ackland (Satisfaction). Kao will play Van, a handsome, stubborn witch who has always stayed out of coven politics. But when tragedy strikes, he finds himself inescapably drawn into the beginnings of a war. Kao will recur starting in episode 2.
Ackland, meanwhile, will play Tristan, a handsome and mysterious vampire who has a long and complicated history with the Originals. Both charming and worldly, a man born into such wealth and power that he carries with him the cool assurance of his own superiority. With those he loves, he can be equal parts warm and caring, obsessive and co-dependent. But with his enemies, he is cruel and completely merciless. Ackland will recur starting in episode 2.
Also joining the series is Rebecca Breeds (Pretty Little Liars) as Aurora, a beautiful and enigmatic vampire who is, at times, sexy, seductive, witty and free-spirited. Basically, she's the life of any party. But she can also be malevolent, dangerous and extremely violent. In her lightest moments, she's the flame that draws men to her like moths; in her darkest, she'll kill those same men without a second thought. Breeds will recur starting in the season premiere.
Over on The Vampire Diaries, Justice Leak, Jaiden Kaine, Tim Kang and Todd Lasance will all recur on the new season. Leak (Powers) will play Malcolm the clean-cut eldest heretic who doesn't like being told no. Within his small family he's a golden child. But when he's alone, he has the sneering, aloof air of somebody who's been alive a very long time—with no fear of death. Leak will first appear in the premiere.
Kaine (Zoo) will play Beau, a scary, solemn and dangerous man. He's the strong, silent type, but not by choice—his vocal cords have been slashed, his throat forever scarred. But what he lacks in words, he makes up for in presence, with supernatural powers to match and an unbreakable loyalty to his heretic family. Kaine will first appear in the premiere.
Kang (The Mentalist) and Lasance (Home and Away) will join the CW series in episode 3 as Oscar and Julian, respectively. Oscar is a laid back stoner who's been living the high life off the grids for months, hiding a surprising connection to the Salvatores. But Oscar's Zen lifestyle comes to a screeching halt when supernatural intervention turns him into a feral killer.
Julian, meanwhile, is a feared and storied immortal with a reputation for excelling in earthly pleasures. Julian is pure charisma or pure creep, depending on whom you ask. The one thing he fears is anonymity, an unlikely outcome given that he's perpetually on the run, leaving chaos in his wake, and attracting even more dangerous followers.
The Vampire Diaries newbies join the previously cast female heretics played by Elizabeth Blackmore, Scarlett Byrne and Teressa Liane. Get scoop on them here.
The Vampire Diaries will return Thursday, Oct. 8 at 8 p.m. ET followed by The Originals at 9 p.m. ET on The CW.

Here, Patrick Jackson (and his dog Frosty), author of Potato Pals, Stars, and Everybody Up, answers these questions in a short interview.
Patrick Jackson is an ELT author interested in the use of songs, stories and real world connections to motivate learners. He believes that the classroom should be an enjoyable, happy and stimulating place for students as well as teachers. Passionate about Linked Language Learning, he is fascinated by the way technology, and especially social media, has the power to transform the teaching and learning experience. He is also interested in the ways in which we can help our students develop creativity and real confidence. Patrick spent 13 years in Japan teaching learners of all ages but is now based in Dublin, Ireland. He is the author of Potato Pals, Stars and Everybody Up and blogs at patjack67.com.

Essential Summer Reading: 5 ELT Titles For A Rockstar Performance
What are you doing to prepare for the coming academic year? Harvey Chan, Associate Editor for Oxford University Press USA, picks his top 5 professional development books every ELT teacher should read this summer.
Just like musicians gearing up for the upcoming concert season, teachers need to mentally rehearse and reanalyze their teaching to prepare for the upcoming school year. Just as how the strings of a guitar can get rusty and its effectiveness can erode over time, instructors must constantly download the newest software updates for their technological devices. And like the myriads of scales, majors, and minors that make up the foundational core of music theory; theoretical principles in teaching methodology and Second Language Acquisition should lie at the heart of every pedagogical decision teachers make, both within and outside of the classroom. To gear up for the upcoming school year, here are five essential books for language teachers with the collective promise that everyone in their audience will sing their praises.
Harmer, J. (2007). The Practice of English Language Teaching with DVD (4th ed.). Pearson Longman ELT.
Found in many ESL-training courses, this guide initiates those new to the field with everything they need to know about teaching in the classroom. Harmer takes teachers-to-be through the theoretical (major tenets in SLA to a methodological review) to the practical stages (classroom management, course and syllabus design) of teaching. An accompanying DVD also showcases nine native and non-native teachers in action, their execution of the principles outlined in the book, and personal reflections on the topic and methodology of the preceding lesson; giving readers a guided demonstration of what the performance should actually look like on stage.
Larsen-Freeman, D. & Marti Anderson. (2011). Techniques and Principles in Language Teaching (3rd ed.). Oxford University Press, USA.
Covering the classic to the contemporary, this comprehensive and historic overview of language teaching methods aims to equip teachers with and expose them to a wide array of methods used in language learning classrooms all over. A descriptive, rather than a prescriptive, approach that enables language teachers to analyze, reflect, and personalize on these techniques; Larsen-Freeman and Anderson cover everything from the nostalgic Grammar-Translation and Audio-Lingual Method to modern practices including Task-based Language Teaching and the Participatory Approach. New to this edition include a deeper examination of the political facets of language teaching, and the advent and application of technology in the classroom.
Celce-Murcia, M & Diane Larsen-Freeman. (1998). The Grammar Book: An ESL/EFL Teacher's Course (2nd ed.). Heinle ELT.
For those who sweat at the thought of being thrown a curveball-of-a-grammar question, or those searching for ways to make grammar points stick to students' memory (since they always seem to be forgotten in student writing), this technical reference guide explains in great detail all things grammar under the sun. Not a single grammar topic escapes Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman's careful scrutiny as they thoroughly explain each one with suggested activities for learners at varying levels and references for reading, all while anchoring each concept in a cyclical model of "Form-Meaning-Use".
Lightbown, P. M. & Nina Spada. (2013). How Languages Are Learned (4th ed.). Oxford University Press, USA.
If you're more interested in the inner workings of language learning, rather than of the language classroom, without being inundated with technical terminology and dense explanations; this book may just be the answer, coming pretty close to being a college-course substitute. The authors, Lightbown and Spada, take readers on a journey from how babies and children learn languages (First Language Acquisition) to how adults do so (Second Language Acquisition), with different variables, such as age, motivation, and personality, sprinkled throughout. A chapter discussion on how these theories play out in actuality in the classroom, supplementary activities and discussion questions for teacher reflection, and chapter summaries are new to the fourth edition, and prove to be refreshing and useful for educators.
Meddings, L. & Scott Thornbury. (2009). Teaching Unplugged: Dogme in English Language Teaching. Delta Publishing.
First introduced by Scott Thornbury in an article whose responses and comments reverberated through the online ELT community; this non-methodological method seeks to purify the learning experience by placing students at the heart of the interaction, and tapping into their beliefs, values, and experiences. Just like the mellow and minimalistic glow of the TV show from which the book takes inspiration, Meddings and Thornbury seek to strip teaching of all its irrelevant distractions and shiny embellishments, such as coursebooks, handouts, and A/V materials. Teaching Unplugged is broken down into three, easily-digestable parts that include an elaboration of the teaching philosophy, easy-to-apply activities, and practical implications outside the normal ELT classroom.

1. They've got creative team activities.
According to Delaney, employees head to the gym together at 4pm on most days, and at 3pm, they stop working to play music and do their burpee challenge. "We definitely work hard and play hard, and are always laughing," she said.
3. They appreciate each other.
On Mondays, Greatist employees "Pass the Boos" (two stuffed animal boo dogs) as a way to recognize employees. "Every Monday at our daily standing meeting, whoever has the boos passes them to someone they want to recognize—someone that they think crushed it or helped them in some way," said Delaney.
4. They know how to relax.
Do you ever wish there was a room in your office that was dedicated to relaxation? Well, Greatist has one! They call it the Cave of Wonders (COW) - It's a little room with big pillows and cushions where you can go to work, nap, meditate, chill out, or just recharge. Stress just doesn't stand a chance!
5. They're a happy and supportive team.
"I love being part of the Greatist team because I'm constantly learning from my extremely intelligent and motivated co-workers," said Delaney. "I love knowing that every day I will laugh about something…. People truly care about your well-being at Greatist. I've built life-long friendships here and I'm so happy to be a part of the team." Do your employees rave about working at your company? Tweet me @AriellaCoombs and let me know!


I have just returned from the World Junior Championships held in Roccaraso, Italy. I represented Ireland at Slalom and GS and I carried the flag in the opening ceremony. The conditions were terrible! The weather was so sunny that it was melting the snow. So much so that the programme was changed from day 1 and the GS was replaced by the Slalom in which I came out in the 2nd run. The day wasn't a complete disaster though because I had my photo taken with the Italian Slalom legend, Alberto Tomba! The GS was then run over 2 days (1 run per day) because the course was deteriorating so rapidly. We had to inspect the course at 6.45am in order to start the race by 8am! I was very pleased with my GS performance where I finished 70th (out of 111 starters and 81 finishers). It was a great experience and it is now my goal to ski for Ireland at the World Championships next year. Since the second day of GS was only 1 run, we were able to have the afternoon in Rome before flying back home on Sunday morning. In the afternoon, we managed to see the Spanish steps, visit the Vatican and see the sistine chapel, Raphael's art in the Vatican's museum and look around St Peter's Basilica. On the way to the airport on Sunday morning, we even managed a brief look at the Colloseum!

Thank you for your interest in the International Bachelor Program in Business and Management (IUBM) of the College of Business (COB), Chung Yuan Christian University (CYCU). This Undergraduate program offers a four-year, all-English Business curriculum, and complements the international Master and Doctoral programs of the COB.
The IUBM Program provides exciting international opportunities for accepted students through a set of academic exchange programs with several international sister universities. In addition, Undergraduate students who plan to enroll in the COB's two-year International Master of Business Administration (IMBA) Program, may instead choose the "4+1 Curriculum", which allows students to earn their achelor's and Master's degrees in 5 years.
It is also important to note that the COB is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), which represents the highest standard of achievement for business schools worldwide. Out of the approximately 16,000 business granting institutions worldwide, only around 5% are accredited by AACSB. This ensures that we produce graduates that are highly-skilled and more desirable to employers than other non-accredited schools. In fact, this was recently proven when our university was ranked number one by Taiwan's 1111 Job Bank as the most favored university. This means that the university's approach to academics has been widely recognized and appreciated by enterprises, parents, and the general public. The university is able to sustain these competitive academic programs, because CYCU's Teaching Excellence Project is a consistent recipient of the largest grant from Taiwan's Ministry of Education.
The IUBM Program presents an exciting, interdisciplinary effort supported by the five departments (i.e., Business Administration, Finance, Accounting, International Business, and Information Management) of the COB. The program is extremely proud with our pool of faculty who breathes life and provides exciting learning opportunities into our courses.

While the Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants movies are long over (with rumours of a third film still floating around!), the cast, namely America Ferrera, Blake Lively, Alexis Bledel and Amber Tamblyn, remain firm friends.
Over the years, they've made a point of catching up at all the important moments in one another's lives – from weddings to play openings, the foursome regularly hang out and have each other's backs.
So when pictures of the four emerged on Amber Tamblyn's Twitter account, we couldn't help but take note.
"Didn't think anything could beat kicking off the new year with the #TIMESUP initiative, but then..." she tweeted, posting a photo of the foursome with their hands on Ferrera's stomach in celebration of her pregnancy.
"Starting the New Year off with blessings from my Sisterhood. We've got work to do for the next generation. Let's get to it," Ferrera then tweeted, adding a #TIMESUP hashtag to the end.
The four women join 300 other Hollywood heavyweights in the Time's Up movement, which aims to fight sexual harassment in the film industry and beyond. The campaign is being described as a "unified call for change from women in entertainment for women everywhere".


I'm from Karachi, Pakistan and I work in advertising. Besides that I'm a contributing writer for several local publications (covering cultural and entertainment stuff). Besides that I'm a big geek and love all things geek; from comicbooks, to anime, to cartoons, to sci-fi, to fantasy, to obscure and random facts of life.

Software Security in 2019: New Challenges and Possibilities
TestFort News Editor 2018-07-04 10:45:38 by TestFort News Editor on 07/4/2018
Without knowing the threat, you can't fight it. What does the future of hacking, security, and security testing hide behind the curtain? Are businesses really safer by transferring their data to the blockchain custom applications? Let's see and figure out the way to fight the danger.
Companies neglected security testing – and the consequences are coming
The everlasting struggle of choosing between security and privacy will rise in 2019. As consumers are giving away more sensitive information by using connected devices, the big balloon of data risks to burst. We've already seen plenty of this happening, first with the Equifax breach, then with Facebook data collecting algorithms issues.
As the number of compromised data records for 2016-2018 shows, most companies underestimate the challenge. Yahoo alone has compromised 3,000,000,000 profiles. All the leaks that happen are not a coincidence but a regular pattern.
Biggest bridges in 2014-2017 in billions. Bridges burn, we never learn.
Consequence # 1 – GDPR entered the software security game
As the tension between security and privacy grows, General Data Protection Regulation came in bringing a significant headache for risk managers and compliance officers. As we've seen from statistics, for all these years security has been thoroughly ignored. With GDPR, business owners can't afford to ignore it any longer.
For software developers and testers, this presents a big challenge. Adding cookies, verifying the safety of data processing and storage, database testing — these are just a few things from developers' agenda these days.
GDPR made things tougher for developers and business owners (not to mention marketing departments). On the other hand, regulation could be the big push that will force businesses to finally consider security as their main priority.
Consequence #2 – Ransomware As A Service
Ransomware is an attack-blackmailer that targets a computer or a computer network to get money from the owners.
In 2017, we've seen how powerful ransomware can be with attacks of WannaCry, Petya, and Not Petya. The WannaCry strike led to the collapse of 80 medical centers all over England and caused 20,000 canceled appointments. With the growth of blockchain and cryptocurrency technologies, the ransomware got a reliable source of anonymous and secure financial transactions that boosted the spread of the attacks.
Consequence #3 – AI-powered Hacking
While security and QA professionals get Artificial Intelligence to fight on their side, the hackers use AI to their advantage as well. The first significant AI-powered threat was created in 2016 when DARPA, a Pentagon research agency, outsmarted hackers at their own field by launching a Cyber Grand Challenge. They have created smart hacking algorithms that used comprehensive customer insights to spot and fix crucial system vulnerabilities. This is a great achievement which shows, on one hand, enormous possibilities for security project, on the other — proves just how dangerous AI-powered hacking algorithms can be.
In 2019-2020, smart services will be able to find the smallest system vulnerabilities and analyze complex user behavior scenarios, performing difficult calculations which take months for a professional human hacker to conduct.
Consequence #4 – Open Source is Not Safe
If you've been following software development trends for some while, you definitely noticed how open source tends to become a miracle cure-all for many software development issues. With recent GitHub acquisition performed by Microsoft, we only got another proof of how much big corporations are willing to invest in open repositories. However, the overall obsession with Open Source could decay as hackers prepare their attacks on development communities. In 2017, OpenAI Gym, an Open Source machine-learning toolkit, created by Elon Musk, faced a possible malware attack.
We can't act surprised about it. When there is a possibility for anyone to enter and change the code, there is no guarantee all community members will play by the rules. It's obvious that as Open Source grows further, the more tempting it becomes for hackers to break in the system — especially since open access makes it a piece of cake.
What are the results? For one thing, it threatens the dynamics of Open Source software development. Business owners will understand that it's not necessarily the most cost-efficient method of software development because of the amount of required security investments. On the other hand, it will take Open Source to a new level of protection because developers and QA engineers will be forced to fight possible threats. If they win the battle, Open Source could become more attractive to bigger companies who before had their reservations about its safety.
Consequence #5 – Bounty Programs Lead Security Testing
As hackers grow smarter and adapt to new technologies, it became apparent to security departments that cooperation might be a key to safety. That's why businesses and governmental organizations actively collaborate with 'friendly' hackers who identify critical system flaws and enable security teams to prevent attacks before they happen.
So far, we've seen a range of such platforms like HackerOne, used and developed with the support as U.S. Department of Defence, Shopify, GitHub, WordPress. The Department of Defense went even further and launched such programs as Hack the Army, Hack the Air Force, and Hack the Pentagon where hackers were approached to identify critical issues and received financial compensation for that. Last year DoD paid $10,000 in a single fee to two hackers, which was never done before by government.
The cooperation between hackers and security departments is a key to understanding possible security issues and preventing dangerous data breaches.
How can we use these security changes?
Security becomes different every day, as does software development. If we combine software development technologies with thorough research of possible hacking threats, we are able to write algorithms to prevent attacks before they occur. The blockchain is another promising solution that is usually neglected by many companies because they are simply not fully aware of what it is and how it works. We test blockchain applications and help businesses from different industries achieve maximum security.
Our security testing team always closely cooperates with developers, analyzing the product and identifying possible vulnerabilities. These way, we don't fight security attacks but make sure a threat is detected before actually becoming dangerous. If you have a project in mind that you'd like to test, drop us a line.

Studying Geography will help you see clearly and understand accurately the environment that surrounds you. Our aim is to provide students with opportunities to evaluate and challenge the way in which their world operates.
The Department has enjoyed a wide range of academic and extra-curricular achievements over the last decade. At GCSE the proportion of students attaining 9-7 grades in 2018 was 88% whilst 91% of students at A-Level gained an A*/A/B grade. Aside from impressive examination results, the Department has also established Geography Society and Latymer Amnesty to provide opportunities for students to further their interest in issues relating to geography and human rights.
Year 7 conduct an investigation into the existence of microclimates around the school site. Year 9 come off timetable in half-year groups to compete in the World Trade game in the Great Hall. The students are divided into groups and trade with each other within the 'free' market economy of tariffs, quotas and other sanctions!
Geography is a popular option; currently 143 out of 192 year 10 students have selected to do GCSE Geography this year (2018). Students have seven 40 minute lessons each two-week cycle. GCSE Geography is taught in class sizes of approximately 27-30.
Students carry out two fieldwork investigations - one in human and another in physical geography - as part of their preparation for a Skills-based exam paper.
The AQA syllabus is taught and we have approximately 100 students studying A-level Geography across Year 12 and Year 13 (2018). There are normally 3 - 4 classes in both cohorts. Students have fourteen 40 minute lessons each two-week cycle and are normally taught by two members of staff. A-level Geography is taught in class sizes of approximately 14 - 18.
Students have two single day field trips in year 12. The first is to Camber Sands in the spring term to investigate changes in vegetation across this impressive sand dune system, and the second is a visit to Stratford to investigate the impact of the London 2012 Olympic Games on the changing character of the local area. In Year 13, students are afforded the opportunity to plan their own independent investigation based on either human or physical aspects of Geography (or a combination of both), which they do on a 3 day residential trip to Swanage in the Autumn term.
The Department runs an annual trip to Southern Iceland, offered to students studying Geography in Year 11. The purpose of the trip is principally to visit areas of tectonic, glacial and geothermal interest, all of which relate to and would enrich topics studied in GCSE and A-level Geography. Southern Iceland has a fascinating geography: it offers one of the few environments in the world where such dramatic landforms can be seen in close proximity and the expeditions have been of enormous interest to students who have been in the past.
Highlights include visits to Thingvellir National Park (the site of the mid-Atlantic plate boundary), the glacial lake at Jokullsarlon, spectacular waterfalls at Gullfoss and Skogafoss, the capital city Reykjavik, Geysir National Park and the Blue Lagoon. Previous trips have sometimes incorporated being driven on the Myrdalsjokull glacier in an off-road vehicle, and, depending on favourable weather conditions, the opportunity to see the 'Northern Lights'. We also visit several of the naturally heated baths and outdoor swimming pools in Iceland.
Each year approximately half of the Year 13 cohort go on to read Geography or Geology at Russell Group universities. Our extensive database of school leavers has allowed us to track former Latymer students who have entered a wide range of careers after completing university. Latymer alumni have forged successful careers in engineering, mineral exploration and more recently, working for the Olympic Delivery Authority in planning the 2012 London Games.


This annual film festival takes place at various local breweries in the Tampa Bay area. It is an opportunity to join fellow ocean and beer lovers in celebrating American Craft Beer Week with award-winning documentaries, presented by OMI. Proceeds benefit the Ocean Media Institute.
The client needed a logo that combined the craft beer side of the event with the ocean theme. The design needed to be versatile so that it could be applied to t-shirts, web and print media, and other promotional materials. The logo needed to be functional for years to come, so we went for a typography based design with bold shapes that simply but clearly convey the message.

The supreme authority of the society is Congress since 2010 when the society has obtained the status of the membership based organization.
The supreme authority is granted to the Steering Committee when the Congress is temporarily off and session holding. The Steering Committee convenes a session of the Congress every four years.
The session of the Congress comes in effect when not less than 51% of the members of the society have attended the assembly. Voting at the session takes places in open way and decision is mad e based on a majority of votes.
Based on votes by not less than one fifth of the society members or request from the Monitoring Council the non extraordinary Congress session may be held.
The Congress makes decisions based on a majority of votes and issues resolutions which come into effect unless the issues are not stated otherwise.
The Steering Committee approves the agenda and time for the Congress Session and officially informs the members of the society 30 days before the date of Congress Session starts. At the same time, the official information about on the Congress is provided via the media.

The issue regarding ceasing and cancelling the activities of the society is decided by votes of not less than two third of all members.
The society does not take any responsibility for damages and accompanying consequences from illegal acts by members of the society, members of the steering committee and officers of the society.
To pursue the law of non governmental organizations and other activities specified in the current rule.
6. Organizational issues: electing the members of the Steering Committee and Auditing Board of the MSRM and appointing the Executive Director of the MSRM.
The Congress was attended by 56 representatives from the soums in Zavkhan, Khovd, Uvs, Bayan-Ulgii, Arkhangai, Govi-Altai, Bayankhongor, Dundgovi and Tuv aimags. The Congress was also attended by the invitees Deputy Country Director of SDC in Mongolia, M. Meyer, SDC National Program Officer, Ts.Enkh-Amgalan, Advisor of Green Gold Project Dr. Avaadorj, Dr S.Jigjidsuren, Dr Yo.Zagdsuren and head of Fodder Evaluation Laboratory of Research Institute of Animal Husbandry Dr D.Bolormaa.
After having discussed the organizational issue the members have agreed to keep the number of members of Steering Committee at 19 and the number of the Auditing Board at 3. The elected members of the Steering Committee had a meeting to have appointed M.Olonbayar as Chair of the Steering Committee and D.Dorligsuren, Project Manager of Green Gold programme as Executive Director.
The rule does not state that MSRM has Academic council.
To change the wording "has membership" to the wording "serves members".
Science journal which is in Part 1.2 of the Work Plan should not only cover the topic of pasture studies but also the topic of other related sectoral studies.
To state that it has science, Research and Development committee and Academic council.
To specify the name and title of responsible parties in the work plan.
It is necessary to solve the issues relating to herders, pastures, fodders and marketing. In order to solve marketing issues, the veterinarian issues need to be cover in complex way. For that purpose, the society should make in-depth research works and use the results in policy making in future.
To elaborate whether the member is obliged to membership fee within a year of joining the society. I propose that these members are not obliged to payment of membership fee within the year of joining the society.
Organizing a national forum of pasture users before draft pasture law is debated will be very important. As well, there is a need to organize scientific and production conference at national and local levels and organize herders' training, herders frequently make this proposal. Final but not the least is to strengthen the cooperation with pasture management societies overseas.
The Society should carry out ongoing active activities in the country and overseas. Thus, the head of the society should be a person who has a command of foreign language and knowledgeable. M.Olonbayar, specialized in animal genetics and knowledgeable in Russian and English has been working for the Society the longest years. Therefore, we propose him for the position of head of the society.
Today's herders mainly consist of those who went to herding in the 70s and those who dropped out of school in the 90s. Thus, we face the need to prepare the young generation of herders.
Pasture specialists should be prepared in capacity of maintaining the continuity of next generation of specialists.
To make contribution to having pasture law endorsed.
To think of how to reach the voices of herders to the government and organize well intended national assembly of pasture users "Thousand Herders' Assembly".
Heads of NGOs in 55 soums from 9 aimags to make at least one initiative and implement it. As for me I have put forward an initiative to establish a center for livestock products and employ 15 persons in our soum. Next year when we meet next year we can bring 55 brand products that can be developed over the last year.
To add the statement in the rule about cooperation of the MSRM with government organizations,to actively participate in government activities an member organizations to actively participate.
To facilitate members to participate in training and research by the Society.
To specify livestock health issues in the major guideline.
To advocate herders' proposals and comments through the mass media.
To state that aimag and soums have branches. These branches can develop their rules and regulate their fees and premiums in accordance with their rule which states the concerned.
To include the statement in the major guideline this spells out about training for school drop out herders.
The major guideline should include the statement about MSRM support to students and herders' children studying pasture management like the AU which trains professional herders,.
It will be more effective to make advocacy through TV rather than newspapers and radio.
Large amount of cash is not always right assistance to herders. Psychological support especially when they are in after dzud difficult circumstances, so MSRM can send to herders messages which encourage them.
Each aimag should prepare the materials for one page of Green Gold newspaper published by MSRM.
One of the series of a weekly programme "Herder" by Mongol Radio can be devoted to pasture issues.
Attention should be paid to advocating the measures taken by a number of people with concrete successful results.
The Congress has decided to reflect these proposals in the activities to be taken by the society. The second Congress of the society is due in 2014.


Customers know what they are getting when they use an Apple product. Simplicity, power, elegance and empowerment: all of these describe Apple's track record of reinventing how we live and play.
The next frontier? How we work in a mobile world.
Yesterday, Apple discussed in their earnings call that they are working with a number of software providers to change the way people work. The company is working with a number of app vendors like Box, Docusign, ServiceMax, Revel and MicroStrategy to deliver best-in-class iOS based business applications. Here at Workato, we are excited to be part of this initiative.
As amazing as modern apps are, they don't work well with each other. To get our work done, we are required to open several different apps and jump back and forth between them. Anyone that has tried to look up customer info across apps knows what I am talking about. It's no surprise, that integrating apps and business functions remains one of the top business challenges.
We created Workato to connect islands of apps so your apps can talk to each other and you can get your work done without bouncing across multiple apps. We enable this with 'recipes' that any of us can learn to use and create. A recipe is simply a way for you to express how you want your apps to work with each other, e.g: a recipe to create invoices in QuickBooks when an opportunity is won in Salesforce.
We have completely re-imagined integration in a mobile world to make it intuitive and accessible to business users without compromising the power needed for business critical integrations. With Workato, anyone can create powerful connections between their apps without requiring IT or developers.
Working with Apple, we are excited to significantly accelerate this empowerment of business users. Besides the app vendors in this initiative, Workato also integrates with Over 60 of the most popular cloud based business applications. We have thousands of recipes between these apps to support all the popular business scenarios or workflows across them.
Further, to make it even simpler for business customers, we have created the world's first iOS app for integrating business apps. With Workato's iOS app, users would simply select their apps. choose the connections they want between them, sit back and track all the business events across their apps. Stay tuned for launch of our iOS app!
I have personally been involved with creation of industry's first and the largest app integration products, but I've never seen this level of simplicity in integrating apps. It takes weeks to just make just one of these integrations happen. With Apple and Workato you can do this in minutes.
In an earlier blog post, we spoke about the business app revolution. We are excited to work with Apple to accelerate this revolution.
Stay tuned for more details on this initiative!


Los Angeles has missed you RTJ. With the release of Run The Jewels 3, L.A. is ready to go wild once again this Wednesday at The Shrine.
For those unfamiliar with what Run The Jewels is all about, I would recommend looking back to KXSC's FYF Fest highlights from 2015. Travis Barker, Zach De La Rocha and Gangsta Boo all made appearances while the hip-hop group was still touring RTJ 2. Now Run the Jewels is touring RTJ 3 which features Danny Brown, BOOTS, and Kamasi Washington, so the possibilities for guest appearances are endless.
The show is currently sold-out but, this is a show worth buying resale tickets. This show's also early on in RTJ's world tour so you know you'll be getting fresh lungs and extra energy. If you need a release from life this week I can think of no better anger-therapy than El-P and Killer Mike rapping like there's no tomorrow.
