Q: Use AD Groups Instead of Linux Groups On our file server, we are using a bunch of Linux groups that are still in use and need to be replaced by their counterparts in AD. The groups in AD and /etc/groups have an identical name, so, (I'm guessing?) chgrp won't really be of much use here.
My question is this: What's the best way of changing the group ownership of specific files on our file server to point to the groups in AD instead of the Linux groups?
I was thinking of possibly changing by GID instead of group names, but that just seems like a recipe for disaster.

A: chgrp can deal with numeric GIDs as well as symbolic group names.  You'll want to be 100% sure that your name-to-name group matchup is exactly correct.  Depending on how you attack the problem, it may also be necessary to ensure that the Linux numerics are in a range completely separate from the AD numerics.  Most AD admins do this for obvious reasons, but check to be sure.  Then you can use chgrp to remap all group ownerships, one group at a time, from the old Linux GID numbers to the new AD GID numbers.  But it's critical that there is ZERO overlap between the Linux GID numbers and the AD GID numbers.
I'd suggest NOT doing the actual work in a script.  Instead, write a script that just outputs a (long) string of chgrp commands.  That way, if your script breaks, it doesn't harm anything.  You debug the script, and then you carefully inspect the chgrp commands that it produces, and ensure they are 100% correct.  Fix any bugs you identify.  Once everything looks good, then pipe that list of chgrps into a shell.
As usual in UNIX (or Linux), there are more ways than one to accomplish a task.  You could iterate over each group, and do one search of the file hierarchy per group.  This might be okay if you don't have lots of groups, nor lots of files in the hierarchy.  But it does require that the old and new numeric GIDs DO NOT overlap.
More efficient might be to search the hierarchy only once, and process all the files, one at a time, in a single pass.  This also has the advantage that it does not matter whether your numerics overlap, so long as the name-to-name matchup is 100% correct.  To do this, start by building a table that maps the old numeric Linux GID to the old symbolic Linux name (which is also the new symbolic AD name).  Next, backup your /etc/group and edit it to delete all the Linux group names you're going to retire.
So now you have a file containing a list of GID -> name mappings, and a bunch of files in your hierarchy with a numeric GID, but no defined group name.
The next thing you'll need to do is make sure your AD group enumeration is working (through wbinfo, typically).  A simple test like:
# wbinfo --group-info 'test AD group'
test AD group:x:1597:
# touch /tmp/foo
# chgrp 'test AD group' /tmp/foo
# ls -l /tmp/foo
-rw-r--r--  1 root  test AD group  0 Jun 13 11:06 /tmp/foo

should suffice.  Where I have 'test AD group' you should use an AD group name that you know exists.  Use quotes, just in case the group name contains spaces.
The next task at hand is to iterate over each file in the hierarchy, and use stat to find its numeric GID, which will of course be the obsolete Linux GID.  Map that numeric GID to the symbolic group name (which is the new symbolic AD name), and write out a chgrp command to make that change to that file.  Be sure to use quotes around the group names, because AD groups often contain spaces.  Done this way, it won't matter whether your old Linux group foobar has exactly the same GID as the new AD group farkle, because your script will use the old GID, find the old name foobar and do a chgrp command to reset the group by name to be foobar.
Here's a suggestion of how to create your GID-to-name map.  It's not fully tested, nor fully optimized.  It's just intended to get you thinking about how to break the problem into smaller, more manageable steps.  Be sure to make a full backup of your data before running any tests or final scripts.
Suppose cups cas nagios and domain users are the groups you want to migrate:
# getent group cups cas nagios "domain users" | awk -F: '{print $3 " " $1}'
193 cups
1001 cas
445 nagios
715 domain users

Save that to a file, say numeric-gid-map.txt
Now build a function that accepts a numeric GID, and returns the matching name from that file:
map_gid_to_name() {
  grep "^$1 " numeric-gid-map.txt | sed -e "s/[^ ]* //"
}

And another very simple function that will accept a group name and a file name, and output a chgrp command:
do_chgrp() {
  printf 'chgrp "%s" "%s"\n' "$1" "$2"
}

Pull those all together with one function that can take a single filename, use stat look up the numeric GID, find the corresponding group name, and write a chgrp command to stdout:
do_one_file() {
  gid=$(stat -f%g "$1")
  gname="$(map_gid_to_name $gid)"
  do_chgrp "$gname" "$1"
}

The only step left is to iterate over your hierarchy and pass the files one by one to your function.
chgrp_one_file.sh:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

map_gid_to_name() {
  grep "^$1 " numeric-gid-map.txt | sed -e "s/[^ ]* //"
}

do_chgrp() {
  printf 'chgrp "%s" "%s"\n' "$1" "$2"
}

do_one_file() {
  gid=$(stat -f%g "$1")
  gname="$(map_gid_to_name $gid)"
  do_chgrp "$gname" "$1"
}

do_one_file "$1"

chmod that 755 so it's executable.
find /your/path -print0 | xargs -0 -n1 -Ixx ./chgrp_one_file.sh "xx"

Again, I don't pretend that this is tested or optimized.  It's just one possible method, that hopefully will get you started on how to improve this and bend it to suit your needs.

Victim of Facebook Data Breach Shares Viral Video of FB 'Following' Him 'All Over' Internet
Following the news of a major data breach affecting over 530 million users, American University student Zamaan Qureshi decided to look into exactly what data the social media site had gathered about him.Qureshi said in a thread Sunday that he was "unsurprised to learn that Facebook is following [him] all over the internet." Qureshi's tweet included a video of a screen recording showing the files he downloaded on his computer as well as some of the information certain websites gave to Facebook.
So I decided to download my Facebook data after learning I was a part of the 533m breach.
Clicked on a folder called "your_off_facebook_activity" and was unsurprised to learn that Facebook is following me all over the internet. pic.twitter.com/MSkceFAqYg
— Zamaan Qureshi (@zamaan_qureshi)
Facebook is tracking your phone's activity
Qureshi is on The Real Facebook Oversight Board, a watchdog organization composed of the social media giant's most vocal critics that formed in 2020.
The board is a project developed by The Citizens, a U.K.-based advocacy group that includes Guardian and Observer journalist Carole Cadwalladr, whose reporting exposed the Facebook-Cambridge Analytica data scandal in 2018.As a member of this board, Qureshi told Newsweek he was following the data breach closely. He discovered his data was included in the beach after he used the new phone number lookup feature on the "Have I Been Pwned" website.
I freaked out when I saw what sites were telling Facebook about me
Located in the service's privacy settings, it lets you see all the websites and apps that reported data back to Facebook about your visits and activities.Facebook says that sites are required to inform me that they intend to report back to Facebook on my visits, purchases, and other activities.
"I've been aware that Facebook collects user data when you're not on the Facebook platform and that was concerning to me," Qureshi said. "[Facebook] says that they're transparent about how they do data collection, so I wanted to see if that's actually the case."
Qureshi downloaded his data through the Settings tab on Facebook and found "dozens" of folders and subfolders of information, including contact information and messages. He then found the Off-Facebook activity folder that showed pages of links he had visited over the past three years.
How Does Facebook Work?
According to Facebook, Off-Facebook activity is a summary of activity that businesses and organizations share with the company about users' interactions, such as visiting their apps or websites. This activity includes interacting with websites and apps that users log into using their Facebook profiles. Businesses and organizations share this information with Facebook to "personalize user experience" by showing relevant ads, introducing users to new products, services and events, according to Facebook's website.
All the Ways Facebook Tracks You—and How to Limit It
The social network behemoth says it uses your data to show relevant ads and keep you safe; if someone signs into your account from a country you're not usually in, for instance, Facebook can flag the activity as suspicious.The best way to limit Facebook's tracking is to quit all three apps for good.
Qureshi found that Facebook knows information like when he ordered pizza on the Domino's Pizza app and that he applied to Fordham University.
Facebook knows when I ordered pizza pic.twitter.com/x9uY5kex18
Facebook said it requires these businesses and organizations to give notice to people before using these tools collect track user activity.
Qureshi said he ideally would like to leave Facebook, but as a college student in a pandemic, he has to use the app because so much of the school's clubs, activities and social events run on Facebook.
You Can Finally See All Of The Info Facebook Collected About You From Other Websites
In the meantime, he said he optimized his account to not collect data.
Through Settings on the Facebook website or mobile app, users can view the apps and websites that have shared their activity with Facebook, download this information, clear their Off-Facebook activity history, and turn off future tracking.
Even if users turn off future activity, Facebook said will still receive data from businesses and organizations users visit. According to the Facebook website, Off-Facebook activity "may be used for measurement purposes and to make improvements to our ads systems, but it will be disconnected from your account."
533 million Facebook users' phone numbers and personal data have been leaked online
Gal first discovered the leaked data in January when a user in the same hacking forum advertised an automated bot that could provide phone numbers for hundreds of millions of Facebook users in exchange for a price.
Facebook said users will still see the same number of relevant ads, based on ad preferences and actions taken on Facebook.
Turning off future Off-Facebook activity will log users out of apps and websites they signed into using their Facebook log-in information and will prevent users from using their Facebook to log into other apps and websites in the future.
Qureshi hopes his thread will show people who are not constantly up-to-date on what's going on in the tech world will make some changes.
"I hope what my thread has done is show people what sort of data is being collected on them, even when they're not on Facebook," Qureshi said. "But at the end of the day, the problem is that [Facebook's] business model is to monetize user information to maximize profit over privacy."
Facebook Will Now Use Oculus VR Data for Ads Just as Everyone Expected
As far as what data the company is going to collect and use, here's the official statement:Facebook will now use information about your Oculus activity, like which apps you use, to help provide these new social features and more relevant content, including ads.
Qureshi said the online data of young people who grew up with social media are especially at risk.
"Being completely unaware of what was going on, but having that data collected, I just think is incredibly concerning," Qureshi said. "We are completely powerless to these tech giants that sort of have full control and a full social profile of who we are."
Business Insider reported earlier this month that the personal data of 533 million Facebook users was posted on a hacking forum that could be used to commit fraud.
Once Again, Facebook Is Using Privacy As A Sword To Kill Independent Innovation
The data includes phone numbers, email addresses, full names, birth dates, location and other Facebook biography details.
According to a Facebook spokesperson, this data breach occurred in 2019 and was already addressed by the company.
Facebook also said that Off-Facebook activity is not related to the 2019 data scrape and said users can visit Have I Been Pwned to check if their phone numbers or emails were part of this breach.

'I don't think you can scale a business without having stores': Untuckit's co-founder on its 2023 growth strategy
By Julia Waldow
After years of Covid-19-related challenges, DTC apparel brand Untuckit is bouncing back, clocking record sales and heading into 2023 as a profitable business.
Untuckit, which launched in 2011, had a tough road in 2020 as the pandemic upended demand for traditional office wear. The company was in the middle of an international expansion in the early spring when it moved to temporarily shut its nearly 90 brick-and-mortar locations. Still, Untuckit — whose hero product is a more form-fitting button-down shirt — stuck by its strategy as a business, deciding that "no massive overhaul of our brand ethos was necessary," CEO Aaron Sanandres told Modern Retail in February 2021.
As the months went on, Untuckit concentrated on its online business, began offering curbside pickup, leaned into customer appointments and reopened stores. Now, it's enjoying unparalleled growth. Several weeks ago, Untuckit had its best Black Friday and Cyber Monday in 11 years. Sunday and Monday of this week, Dec. 11 and 12, were also the company's biggest days outside of Black Friday. After becoming profitable in early 2022, the company is set to have its most successful year, bypassing 2019's $200 million in revenue.
"We've always thought we were the best post-pandemic product that you can ever make… because people wearing sweatshirts and joggers and tees, they don't want to go back to their starched white tucked-in shirt," Co-founder Chris Riccobono told Modern Retail. "They still have to look good in the office. So what do they do? They bought an Untuckit… I think we'll be continue to be positioned for these next many years of casualization. So I think we're in a great place."
Riccobono spoke to Modern Retail about the company's record-setting year, why it chooses to focus on brick-and-mortar retail and its plans for 2023. This interview has been edited for length and clarity.
You're on track for your best year in revenue. What do you attribute that to?
Our growth was incredible. I think we were the fastest-growing men's apparel brand through 2019… growing 50% a year. And then [Covid-19] hit. We took a big step back. And then we clawed some back in 2021. We would be way past where we are today if 2020 and 2021 didn't hit, but there's no reason to believe that we are not going to begin to achieve that same growth level in the future. And we're starting to see that now. So we have really high hopes for next year and the year after.
We had just gone into England right before [the pandemic] started, like three, four months before. And we were planning on expanding all through Europe and all through South America. We're going to pick up those plans. And our women's business, we grew 100% in November year-over-year. It's becoming a legit business. And we're going to lean into that.
And more importantly, in the old days, we were 100% buttondowns and then 60% and now we're 40%. Our pants business has just gone through the roof, our polos, our sweaters. I know everyone thinks about Untuckit as shirts designed to be worn untucked. We do massive business in shirts, but our customers buy everything from us.
Our AOV [average order value] is the highest level it's ever been. So all the metrics look great as well… Our CAC [customer acquisition cost] has gone significantly down this year, which is making us fairly significantly profitable this year, from losing a lot of money in 2020 and 2021.
…We realized that profitability is by far the most important thing and we were able to do it very quickly. So now we're growing fast, and we're profitable. So it's just the most exciting time that we've ever had at Untuckit.
You mentioned growing the women's business and expanding internationally. What are your overall plans for growth for 2023?
We brought in so many new customers this year, which we hadn't for a while because of [Covid-19]. I think we're just going to see our natural growth there. And we are going to open more stores in 2023… We opened up 35 in 2019 and then we kind of stopped. We're going to go back to that.
We do no wholesale. Any of our competitors, whether it's Bonobos, Allbirds, Tommy John, they do a massive amount of wholesale. We do none… We'll look at some wholesale, probably, in the future. We've kind of rejected it because we've been able to market ourselves and we wanted to own our customer data. But I think that wholesale is something that we'll look at in 2023 and 2024 to continue to grow even bigger.
What is your strategy for building out that brick-and-mortar presence? What do you think about when deciding where to put certain stores?
We're really in all the major areas. Now, we want to open up where we won't cannibalize any sales. So we're going to be looking into remote areas where we maybe don't have a huge online presence, or we don't have a store within a certain amount of miles… About 95% or more of our stores are profitable. So it's not even the size that matters to how much revenue you're doing. When we open a store, we're profitable.
Some people might say, 'You're crazy, you're opening more stores?' It just brings us more profitability. We run them very lean. We have a great process. It's very easy for the customers to shop… We love stores. When people asked us in the middle of [the pandemic] when we almost went bankrupt, 'Do you regret having stores?' — I don't think you can scale a business without having stores to [reach] north of $200 million, $300 million. So we love them.
A lot of apparel companies this year struggled with having too much inventory on hand. Is that something that Untuckit has also been dealing with?
No, we're in a great inventory position. We controlled our growth this year. When you have to place your orders, you're placing them in 2021 for 2022. We wanted to be cautious because no one knew whether the turnaround was going to be this year or next year. I think we made a lot of great decisions, and that's how we became profitable. So we're in one of the best inventory positions we've ever been in. We have enough to continue to grow and overachieve our numbers, but we don't have excess inventory.
What does your marketing strategy for next year look like?
We've always marketed more than others in different areas outside of digital… TV does incredibly well for us. Couple that with Google and Facebook, and that's really our blend. And we do a lot of radio. And we have airline magazines still.
So it's really just this great blend of marketing, which I think is important because what happens to a lot of companies is: Facebook becomes very challenging and very expensive, and they don't have experience going in other areas. So when Facebook's challenging for us, we just move that to TV. We go back and forth. That's what's helped us.

Solar-powered drone AtlantikSolar has broken the world endurance record for unmanned aerial vehicles under 50kg -- by flying continuously for 81 hours. It is also the second longest UAV flight ever, behind Airbus Space's 53kg Zephyr 7. "We had to be extremely energy efficient, as we wanted to fly though the night, so we developed large and efficient batteries that supply that energy while flying in the darkness," says Philipp Oettershagen, 28, one of the engineers behind AtlantikSolar.
Developed at ETH Zurich's Autonomous Systems Lab, AtlantikSolar, which weighs just 6.8kg and has a 5m-wingspan, performed its flight at the Rafz, Switzerland, RC-model club airfield from 14 July. "We were hit by winds of up to 60km/h and thunderstorm clouds in the very last two hours of our flight," Oettershagen tells WIRED. "To overcome this, we had to increase aircraft speed and altitude, and had to perform the landing through the Autopilot."
In June 2016, the UAV will fly 5,000km across the Atlantic Ocean, on a pre-programed route from Boston to Lisbon over seven days. In order to prepare for this record-breaking journey, it will be testing longer journeys over the next six months, starting with a 12-hour flight in the Brazilian rainforest close to the Amazon River. "We'll be flying from Belem to the Caxiuana research station in the middle of the rainforest, covering about 400km on solar-power alone," says Oettershagen. "At the same time, we will be doing aerial mapping with our optical and infrared cameras and recording atmospheric information with our onboard sensors."
Ultimately, squadrons of these mini-planes will be deployed to save human lives. "The ability to fly for days at a time means you can cover areas orders of magnitude larger than previous search missions have," says Oettershagen. In June, the AtlantikSolar participated in the EU-funded search and rescue project ICARUS in Portugal, where it tested out victim detection flights over water for the first time. The project flies in the slipstream of existing solar-powered UAVs like Zephyr 7, which flew for 14-days non-stop. But its 22.5-metre wingspan would make Zephyr 7 unsuitable for emergency search and rescue missions, says Oettershagen. "With our plane, you can pack it away into a box for easy transportation, and one person can launch it by hand."

Q: How to change date in Excel so the date will run on a SQL query? Currently, I have an Excel sheet in which I input a Start-date and End-date which will go to the VBA code and input it on a SQL query. The problem I am currently having is that I received an error:

ORA-01843 not a valid month because the Excel is importing the date as 05/01/2016 and the query needs to be 05-may-2016.

How do I change that??
Here is the code for the start and end date:
startDate = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B4").Text
endDate = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B6").Text

dbConnectStr = "Provider=msdaora;User Id=" & Uname
dbConnectStr1 = "Provider=msdaora;User Id=xxendur ;Data Source=" & DSN

Set Sql.ActiveConnection = objmyconn
Sql.CommandText = "select system_date from syit_act_log where system_date between`enter code here` 'startDate' AND 'endDate' and action_id = 15 and log_desc not like '%svc_openlink_p%' order by system_date"
Sql.CommandType = adCmdText
Sql.Execute

A: You need to set your date variables using this formatting :
startDate = Format(Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B4").Value2, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
endDate = Format(Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B6").Value2, "dd-mmm-yyyy")
'startDate and endDate will be look like "05-May-2016"

The triple mmm will give you the month name as you requested. Then use those variables in your query.
Edit:
As Ralph and Jeeped suggested it is recommended to use the yyyymmdd standard
startDate = Format(Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B4").Value2, "yyyymmdd")
endDate = Format(Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B6").Value2, "yyyymmdd")

Q: Unable to launch "Hello World" program I am learning Java from a youtuber called 'thenewboston'. I downloaded eclipse, put in a simple 'hello world' code, and now I want to run/compile the program. Whenever I click RUN however, it gives me this message:

Unable to launch
The selection cannot be launched, and there are no recent launches

Here's the code:
class apples{
    public static void main (Sting args[]){
        System.out.println("Hello youtube!");
    }
}

A: The problematic line is this:
public static void main (Sting args[])
                      //  ^-- this type is spelled "String"

Fix the spelling in the data type and your program should work:
public static void main (String args[]) {
    System.out.println("Hello youtube!");
}

Since you're new, here two hints:

*

*Please read the Java Code Conventions about the naming style: class name should start with an uppercase letter Apples instead of apples

*There is no rule for that, but you should keep the brackets at the type: String[] args not String args[]

A: Also when you have that error message and the code is correct - try to change Run Configuration - by choosing the right application to run

A: package AppleStuff; //depending on your package name
class Apples{
        public static void main (String args[]){
            System.out.println("Hello youtube!");
        }
    }

Now if you are using Netbeans, right click and select run file. Because this a console based application or if it Eclipse click on the play button at the top bar

Terms and Conditions of the Return of Capital Program
§ 1 General provisions
The Return of Capital Program, hereinafter referred to as "RCP", is provided by the Organizer to the User of RFL.com.pl platform as a part of the assignment of debt agreement (sale of property rights).
Using RCP by the User is optional.
Under the RCP the Organizer is obliged to return to the User the whole price that was paid for the purchase of a debt via RFL.com.pl in the event of the Borrower's insolvency, under the conditions provided for in these Terms and Conditions.
Whenever the following expressions are used in these Terms and Conditions: Organizer, Borrower, Deposit, Loan Agreement, User, User Account, Sale of Property Rights, Return of Capital Program (RCP), Request for Return of Loan Agreement Documentation, Debt Collection, or RFL, the definitions described in § 2 of the Terms of Use of the RFL Platform of Trade of Debts shall apply. The document is available at https://www.RFL.com.pl/en/page/regulamin/
§ 2 Terms of using the RCP
The terms of using the RCP are the following:
have fully activated User Account in the RFL site, created using real and up-to-date User identification details;
before purchasing the Loan Agreement, choose the option to use the RCP which is available in the information panel of selected Loan Agreement on the RFL site marked with an "umbrella";
conclude the Contract of Sale of Property Rights (Assignment of Debt Agreement) with the Organizer, choosing the option to use the RCP.
The Organizer reserves the rights to choose which of the debts placed for sale at RFL site will be covered by the RCP, due to the fact that the funds allocated to payments under the RCP are secured by the Organizer in the reserve capital and the amount may vary. Loan Agreements that may be covered by the RCP will be marked with an "umbrella" symbol in the information panel. It is impossible to use the RCP in relation to any previous debts purchased by the User which were not covered by the RCP.
Using the RCP by the User reflects in the expected profit from the acquisition of Loan Agreement being reduced by 3% in relation to the visible and achievable profit indicated in the information about the loan before using the RCP. The change will be visible before the purchase once the "umbrella" symbol for a certain debt is selected. In case the User does not agree to the above, there is no need to choose the RCP while purchasing a particular debt.
In the event of lack of instalment repayment, due by the Borrower under the Loan Agreement purchased by the User, the Organizer undertakes to reimburse the purchase price paid by the User under the Assignment of Debt Agreement, reduced by any payments ade by the Borrower, immediately after 90 calendar days from the date of the last payment made by the Borrower.
In each case where these Terms and Conditions refer to return of the purchase price, return of capital or return of funds to the User, the Organizer reimburses the amount reduced by the sum of all payments made by the Borrower during the Loan Agreement period and debt collection actions mentioned above, which were deposited to the User as a repayment of the agreement.
§ 3 Return assignment
As of the date of return of the capital by the Organizer to the User under the RCP, a transfer of all property rights to the Loan Agreement covered by the RCP is made from the User to the Organizer (return assignment).
The day of conclusion of the return of the assignment of debt agreement is considered the day of the return of capital by the Organizer for the benefit of the User.
§ 4 Expiration of the RCP
The Organizer's liability to the User for the use of the RCP expires when:
the sum of repayments made by the Borrower to the User during the Loan Agreement period and/or enforced in the course of debt collection actions carried out for the benefit of the User by the Organizer is equal to or exceeds the amount paid by the User for the purchase of the debt under the Loan Agreement;
the User submitted a Request for Return of Loan Agreement Documentation which was provided in its entirety by the Organizer. The liability of the Organizer under the RCP in such case expires at the time of receipt by the User of the Loan Agreement documents, or - if the User has given incorrect address details in the User Account - at the moment the Organizer issues the Loan Agreement documents to the courier company to be delivered to the address of the User provided in the User Account;
the Organizer will be informed that the User is conducting debt collection actions against the Borrower without the Organizer's knowledge, either personally or through a third party acting on the User's behalf;
the User has withdrawn from the assignment of debt agreement concluded with the Organizer, which was covered by the RCP.
§ 5 Final provisions
Amendments to the provisions of these Terms and Conditions can be made by the Organizer for a valid reason. The Users will be informed about the planned amendments at least 14 days in advance before they are to come into force, by email sent to the email address provided in the User Account. The information about the coming amendments to the Terms and Conditions will also be clearly visible in the individual User Accounts.
Amendments to these Terms and Conditions will bind the User from the date of their entry into force unless he or she objects to the notice within 14 days of the notice about the changes being sent to the User. Objections must be submitted by mail to the address of the Organizer or via the contact form available at https://www.RFL.com.pl/contact/. Submission of the objections by the User will result in the termination of contract for providing services by electronic means, effective on the day preceding the amendments to come into force. Amendments to the Terms and Conditions do not have retroactive effect on the debts covered by the RCP, for which still apply the Terms and Conditions in force at the date of making the choice to use the RCP.
Any regulations referred to in these Terms and Conditions and posted on the RFL.com.pl site form an integral part of the Terms of Use of RFL.com.pl.
If any part of the Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid or ineffective in the light of applicable law, this part should be interpreted in such a way that it complies with the applicable law and reflects the intentions of the provision as closely as possible. The remaining parts of the Terms and Conditions remain in force and are fully effective.
§ 6 Complaints
These Terms and Conditions are fully subject to complaint procedures described in § 6 of the Terms of Use of the RFL Platform of Trade of Debts, available at https://www.RFL.com.pl/page/regulamin/

Graduate student Mikayla Bean (M.S., journalism, '19) listens to a panel discussion at PolicyWest.
Updated Nov. 30, 2018 8:56 a.m.
Graduate students in Professor Phil Seib's JOUR 542 foreign reporting class have spent the past semester collaborating with The Pacific Council on International Policy (PCIP), a nonpartisan foreign affairs organization whose aim is to effect change on issues at home and abroad.
The course, which started Fall of 2018, was designed by Seib, professor of journalism, public diplomacy and international relations, and Jerry Green, president of PCIP, to give students the opportunity to meet with experts and leaders in the field of international affairs. Students not only had the opportunity to attend events off campus, but also wrote stories that were published on PCIP's media platforms.
"Annenberg's mission to teach aspiring journalists includes a commitment to make them intellectual citizens of the world," Seib said. "This kind of partnership is integral to making that happen.
As part of their published work, students researched and wrote about a range of topics, including humanitarian emergencies, gender issues, and the role of journalism in a globalized society.
James Cutchin '19, also a graduate student in journalism, said he was already interested in international affairs, specifically China; this class was the perfect fit for his area of study.
Students from Phil Seib's foreign reporting class network at PolicyWest.
Eight students published stories through PCIP.
Mikayla Bean (M.S., journalism, '19) reveals how Japanese-American and Korean-American communities are responding to San Francisco's "Comfort Women" memorial.
Bean introduces the idea of populism and describes how four experts at the Pacific Council annual members' conference debated populism's rise and fall.
Lulit Tadesse (M.S., journalism, '19) focuses on the relationship between Ethiopia and Eritrea. The countries recently opened their borders to each other after a conflict that lasted 20 years.
Tadesse discusses space regulation, commercialization and cooperation with experts in the industry.
James Cutchin based his report on a talk given by Stanley Rosen, a USC Dornsife professor in political science, on China's efforts to expand its soft power influence.
What does the flag of the Republic of China represent for different Chinese communities? Cutchin talks about the flag's history.
Cutchin and Meijun Li (M.S., journalism, '19) write about the newfound investments in Africa, a continent that has become one of the fastest growing economies.
Li focuses on how China's highest-paid actress, Fan Bingbing, was accused of tax evasion. How does this speak to the Chinese government's strong determination to fight against tax evasion?
Li also writes about the recent talk with Dr. Hilary Appel on Russia, Crimea and the West.
Katrin Tschirgi, (Ph.D., literature and creative writing,) As part of a teleconference on international policy with the Pacific Council, Tschirgi reports on Mexico City's mounting water crisis.
Tschirgi looks at the Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp scandals and the long-standing controversies surrounding the facility discussed at the Pacific Council's PolicyWest conference.
Alexandra Chan (M.S., journalism, '19) covers The Pacific Council's PolicyWest conference where panelists focused on the most current challenges, both economic and political, facing the relationship between U.S. and Mexico.
Dongyao Nie (M.S., journalism, '19) writes about the complicated U.S. — China relationship over the South China Sea — and the underlying disputes over the troubled waters.


Ingots are considered great wealth enhancers for homes and shops. They come in different shapes and sizes and are usually made in gold or silver colour. The symbolism behind ingots is the presence of wealth in one's life. There are a few different ways to use ingots in your home or shop. Display them prominently on a table/counter at home or shop to increase income opportunities. You can display the ingots in a nice ceramic or crystal bowl and place them on your coffee table or dining table. They can also be displayed in the Southeast corner of the family room or drawing room. Another good spot for displaying ingots is the corner diagonally opposite the door of any room, as this is considered the wealth corner of the room. If you have wealth ships or wealth vases then put ingots in it too as it will help increase your affluence.


Alafair S. Burke (born October 1969) is an American crime novelist, professor of law, and legal commentator. She is the New York Times bestselling author of two series of crime novels—one featuring NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher; the other, Portland, Oregon, prosecutor Samantha Kincaid. Her books have been translated into more than a dozen languages.
Burke was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and raised primarily in Wichita, Kansas, where her mother, Pearl Pai Chu, was a school librarian and her father, fellow crime novelist James Lee Burke, was a professor of English. She traces her fascination with crime to the hunt for the serial killer known as BTK, who was active in Wichita during the 1970s.
Burke received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Reed College, in Portland, Oregon, completing the Senior Thesis "Emotion's effects on memory: spatial narrowing of attention". She went on to Stanford Law School in California, graduating as a member of Order of the Coif. After law school, she served as a judicial clerk to Betty Binns Fletcher of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and then as a Multnomah County Deputy District Attorney in Portland, where she prosecuted domestic violence offenses and served as an in-precinct advisor to the police department.
She currently lives in New York City and is a Professor of Law at Hofstra University School of Law. She has served on the Board of Directors of the Mystery Writers of America and as President of its New York chapter. In 2017, she was elected as a member of the American Law Institute.
In 2014, publisher Simon & Schuster announced that Mary Higgins Clark and Burke were collaborating on the Under Suspicion series, featuring an intrepid television journalist who reinvestigates cold cases.
In 2017, Burke was nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Novel for her book, The Ex.
Burke's novels are known for their authenticity and often draw on real-world cases and the author's personal and professional experiences.
Burke's Samantha Kincaid series is set in the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office, where Burke worked in the 1990s. In creating NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher, Burke drew on her experience growing up in Kansas. Like Burke, Hatcher was raised in Wichita. Hatcher's father was a Wichita police detective who spent his career hunting a serial killer who evaded police for thirty years.
Burke's first novel, Judgment Calls, is loosely based on the case of Keith Hunter Jesperson, a serial killer known as the "Happy Face Killer" for the smiley faces he drew on his many letters to the media. Angel's Tip was loosely based on the murders of Imette St. Guillen and Jennifer Moore.
In Dead Connection, Ellie Hatcher tracks a serial killer who uses an online dating service to locate his victims. Burke has said that the plot was inspired by her worst nightmares while briefly enrolled on Match.com. Burke subsequently dedicated the book to her husband, writing, "For Sean, I can't believe I found you on a computer."
Burke is the daughter of famed fellow crime novelist James Lee Burke.
She currently lives in New York City and is married.
Remembering Emotional Events, 20 MEMORY & COGNITION 277 (1992) (with co-authors F. Heuer & D. Reisberg).

Q: Computer freezes for 30 seconds when print is clicked I've just installed new printer drivers on 5 existing computers.
For some reason, 4 of those 5 computers have not had a problem, you click print and it prints.  However, the 1 remaining computer seems to freeze for about 30 seconds when the print button is clicked before it prints.
What kind of additional information will I have to provide here to get help trouble shoot why the computer is freezing for 30 seconds?
And how do I go about trouble shooting this issue?
All computers have:

*

*OS: Windows XP Pro

*Printer: KONICA MINOLTA C452

*Connection: Network printer

A: Do you have any other printers attached locally or via network to this problem-child computer? If so, are they all online? Or do you have any mapped network drives that are no longer available? This is usually the cause of 'lags' like you're experiencing.


Governor Deal, Pam Adamson is the Problem in Clayton County; Queen Pammie is Acting Like a Political Control Freak; Mark Elgart and SACS are Teetering on Silliness and Compulsive Obsessive Disorder Relative to the Clayton County Board of Education; and Other Laugable Matters! | Georgia Teachers Speak Out!
← Take Back Edmond Heatley? What?! Ha! The Media Wants to Know. Will Queen Pammie and Her Palace Allow the Prodigal Son Edmond Heatley to Return, Kiss Her Hand, and Form Another Government in Her Name? What Say Ye, Alieka? Ha! Yeah, You Sistas Have Got A Mess on Your Hands!
Governor Deal, Pam Adamson is the Problem in Clayton County; Queen Pammie is Acting Like a Political Control Freak; Mark Elgart and SACS are Teetering on Silliness and Compulsive Obsessive Disorder Relative to the Clayton County Board of Education; and Other Laugable Matters!
Well, well, well. I see that Pam Adamson is at it again. Acting on her own again…without the imprimatur of the school board as a whole. The school board members are only to act in concert with a majority of other school board members, but apparently Queen Pammie thinks that this only applies to other school board members. Ha!
Pam Adamson's recent diatribe is against "fellow board members" against whom she has apparently gone to the media, questioning whether Governor Deal needs to remove them. Wow. Or, "Nossa," as they say down here in Brazil. She actually has the temerity to go to the media and question whether the Governor needs to remove some of her follow school board members. I'll tell you who needs to leave the school board (and I think that the next election in 2014 will take care of this) is Pam Adamson. She is a political control freak. Note that it was her – and her alone – who met with soon-to-be-former superintendent Edmond Heatley about his abrupt resignation. This was out of order. Again, the school board chairperson has no power on her own to conduct any business whatsoever outside the collective action of the school board. She can't act like she's some kind of Clayton County Henrietta Kissinger.
Oh…but this is where SACS comes in again. It appears that Glenn Brock has a cushy relationship with Mark Elgart. It appears that when a school system gets in trouble with SACS, ole Glenn Brock is the attorney that the school boards have to turn to in order get out of trouble with Markie Elgart. Damn! If I were a cynical man, I'd say that this might have the appearance of an unhealthy relationship. But, I won't go there. Ha! So, when the Clayton County School Board members apparently start rumbling about not using Glenn Brock for another superintendent search, does it seem strange that all of a sudden Mark Elgart jumps back into the fray in Clayco? Do Mark and Glenn take the Clayton County people as imbeciles? I wander what really goes on behind the scenes. I wonder if Glenn and Mark have "ex parte" conversations about the Clayton County Board of Education. Hey Mark, how 'bout looking into the admitted 57 illegal meetings of the Cobb County Board of Education? You know this school board, don't you? I believe that this is the "primary" school board of the Brock & Clay Law Firm in Marietta. Didn't it branch out into Cherokee, Fulton, Clayton, Atlanta, DeKalb, and Muscogee from this Cobb County base?
Look what happened when political control freak Ericka Davis couldn't get her way. She apparently got her lackey Vice Chairperson, Rod Johnson, to file a complaint with SACS. But, who was guilty of more ethical improprieties and micromanagement than all of the school board members? That's right…Ericka Davis and her sidekick, Rod Johnson. But, when Mr. Norreese Haynes in great detailed answered any fallacious accusations against him with scores of evidentiary documents and then lodged a complaint of several legitimate accusations against Chairperson Ericka Davis and Vice Chairperson Rod Johnson, Mark Elgart, Georgia's biggest educational phony and hypocrite, ignored Mr. Haynes's detailed evidence of micromanagement and other egregious breaches of ethics and rather wrote a pitiful and anemic "Report" that was laughable. Norreese Haynes, on February 15, 2008 – the same day that the "Report" came out – wrote his response to this so-called SACS "Report" "a sham and a farce," and it was.
SACS is a scam, folks. As I have said over and over, it is a union for the school superintendents and an enforcer for groups like ALEC and other connected people. I submit to you that Glenn Brock, in my opinion, is one of those "connected" people. I believe that he and Mark Elgart have an unusual and perhaps unhealthy relationship for the school systems. It almost seems politically incestuous. It also seems that the only school systems which consistently end up in serious and consistent trouble with SACS are those school systems which are located in urban areas and thus are usually controlled by African Americans. It appears to me that SACS has a racial bent to it. Perhaps someone has it right. I read somewhere on a blog today that someone was suggesting going to the U. S. Department of Justice with a complaint about this private, money-grabbing organization which wields considerable influence over the public school systems but which has absolutely no accountability with the voters. Then you have school board members like Pam Adamson actually suggesting that the Governor remove duly-elected school board members from office, thus denying the citizens of representation to the school board. Perhaps it is schemes like this that has 11 former Confederate states still under the mandate of the Voting Rights Act. Don't get mad at me for just stating the truth.
My Musing Yesterday on the AJC's Get Schooled Blog About the General Assembly's Efforts Through the Years to Improve Public Education in Georgia; the News that Mark Elgart is at it Again About Little Clayton County – Always Picking on this County; My Supposed Involvement in What is Going on With the Clayton County School Board; and Other Laughable Matters!
Lee, it's all about the money…or the lack thereof. It's really not about the the kids' or any real attempt to improve public education. In fact, I don't think that the Georgia General Assembly would know educational improvement if it hit it right square in the face. Under the Gold Dome is where QBE (Quit Being an Educator) was hatched in 1985. What a complete failure! I campaigned against this doomed effort to improve education when I ran for the State House as a Republican in 1986 against then 30-year Democratic incumbent Bill Lee. Everyone else on the campaign trail in Georgia was singing its praises. All of the dumb-a$s programs to come down the pike since QBE have done more harm than good in public education. By the way, folks, these are the same folks to actually think that Michelle Rhee or Mark Elgart actually know what they are talking about. Do you remember my original list of the Four Biggest Educational Hypocrites in Georgia? Crawford Lewis, Beverly Hall, Edmond Heatley, and Mark Elgart. (I composed this list way before Lewis was indicted, Hall's cheating scandal was nationally exposed, Heatley abruptly resigned in Clayton County thinking that he had a job in Berkeley, California, or a fairly thorough examination by the AJC of SACS's somewhat dubious practices was published a couple of years ago.) I think that I have been proven right about the first three, and sooner or later the public is going to find out more and more about the hypocrisy of Mark Elgart and SACS. SACS is just a union for the superintendents and an enforcer for groups like ALEC and others who are well-connected. Perhaps those like Glenn Brock?
I noticed in today's AJC that Mark Elgart is snooping around again in Clayton County. He is concerned about "divisiveness" on the school board. (This man just doesn't seem to like the democratic process.) Also, what came out was apparently his real concern…the school board is thinking of doing its own search for a superintendent and not using education attorney Glenn Brock's "search" firm. Do you blame them? Glenn Brock gave them Edmond Heatley! Ha! Mark Elgart actually had the nerve to say that the school board did not have the "ability" or "skills" to select a superintendent. Wow. What hubris of this wannabe elitist! Perhaps he and Glenn could dine on seared Salmon and asparagus at the Piedmont Dining Club and choose another "great" superintendent like Edmond Heatley, Barbara Pulliam, or Joe Hairston. All three of these former Clayton County superintendents were selected by "search" firms and were disasters in Clayton County.
I also noted from the comments made under the article that I am being blamed again for things going on now on the Clayton County Board of Education. Well, well, well… If the public only knew! Ha! I was being accused on controlling Trinia Garrett. Wow. I have never even spoken to this lady either directly or indirectly…via email, telephone, balloon, letter, Western Union, or in person. But, yes, I am the Big Bad Wolf. Boo! I haven't lived in Clayton County in years, and I am currently in South America but I am so concerned about the goings-on of the Clayton County Board of Education that I am "controlling" it. Life is funny! For the record, Jessie Goree has never ever been a MACE member. We don't tell who the members are, but I will gladly tell you who one is not and has never been, and this is Jessie Goree. I think that when she was a teachers in Atlanta, she was an AFT member. When she started working with the Clayton County School System, I believe that she joined CCEA/GAE. But, hey, thanks for the "influence" that you small-minded people are giving me. Ha. I say "small-minded" because apparently you only have room for me in your mind when it comes to the Clayton County Board of Education. I have known both Jessie and Michael King for a number of years, but I have also known Alieka Anderson quite a number of years and have been an acquaintance of Ophelia Burroughs for about ten years as well. We were involved in David Scott's first run for U. S. Congress. Heck, for that matter, I helped Alieka Anderson when she first ran for office in Clayton County. I also helped Michael King when he made a couple impressive runs for the State Senate in the 1990s, but I can't remember the last time that I have talked to Michael. Probably a few years.
Actually, perhaps Glenn Brock and Mark Elgart think that I am encouraging this school board via long distance (yes, the computer and Magic Jack phones are amazing!) to make its own selections. Well, I hate to disappoint these money-grabbing lads, but I haven't even given it a thought. It literally hasn't even crossed my mind. I was simply glad to write perhaps a dozen articles against Edmond Heatley and his administration, and I noticed that the California newspapers quoted me rather extensively. I noticed that the Clayton Board of Education recently chose Luvenia Jackson to be the Interim Superintendent. I have known Luvenia for nearly 30 years. Does this too make her a "Trotterite"? Ha! Someone recently stated that he had rather be a Trotterite than not right at all! Well said. Ha! No, I am enjoying life. I work nearly every day for MACE, albeit sometimes from long distance. Right now, I am visiting Luciana and her family in Brazil. I am sitting at my computer just one block from the world's most beautiful beach…Copacabana. But, the Lord willing, y'all know that I'll be a'comin' home soon. By the way, how did y'all like Victor's come-from-behind victory in August? I got a little bit involved in the Runoff. Don't think that I've sold'em all! Ha! I still know how to help folks get elected. Ain't that why you hate me? Ha!
Bootney, it's raining down here, and I will spend a lot of time writing today. Lots of time. Perhaps I can work in "The Taxi School Solution" that I actually composed in congested traffic in a taxi last Friday night. These iPhones are great when you get bored in a taxi. Just take it out and start composing in the Notes section. This was meant to be somewhat whimsical, but in actually, the five points of The Taxi School Solution is, in mind opinion, a sound and practical curriculum and one that does not involve a plugged nickel of federal dollars. Yes, I think that we should disengage from the suffocating federal programs and breathe life back into public education. Freedom and creativity is what we desperately need.
This private, "non-profit" profiteering money-grabbing company called SACS (Still Advocating for Cronies and Superintendents) won't really do a darn thing to DeKalb County. It already dropped the atomic bomb on Clayton County and destroyed this community — and all over a Chairperson (Ericka Davis) not getting her way. SACS is a joke. It is really the union for superintendents. I believe that SACS works hand-in-hand with not-so-much-a-good-ole-boy-system but a select few effete and elite in this country who have determined that too much money (close to a trillion or more, I think, in total direct and ancillary costs) is going into public education. SACS is the enforcer for these peoples and groups like ALEC. Their tentacles are all over public education today, and their ostensible concern for public education is just that…ostensible.
The real concern for these people and these groups is money. I think that this is the real concern for SACS. As long as it does the enforcement for these people (viz., scares the heck out of communities and school boards to keep them in line), then SACS is rewarded with loads and loads of money from the public troughs, and SACS's CEO, Mark Elgart, continues to receive his close to one-half million in salary and benefits. AdvanED? Huh! MoneyED is more like it! It's all a ruse, good people. All a ruse.
SACS's so-called standards mean nothing. They are always arbitrarily and capriciously applied, depending apparently on who receives the blessings of Zeus Elgart sitting atop Mount Alpharetta. I wish that the General Assembly would finally stand up to this educational phony, this educational Elmer Gantry and quit buying his snake oil. He's like the man behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz…or like Wisconsin's Joe McCarthy before someone in the U. S. Senate finally stood up to this bully. Norreese Haynes and I have been speaking out against this educational hypocrite for about five years now. Our discordant sound has begun to pick up a few notes from the flute and tuba sections too. Mr. Haynes immediately called SACS's flawed, biased, skewed, and laughable report on Clayton County "a sham and a farce." He was right then, and we have been right on Mark Elgart and SACS ever since.
I hope that no one thought that my earlier thoughts this morning were in defense of the DeKalb County Board of Education. I actually think that this school board and the school system appear pretty hopeless at this point…just like Atlanta's. But, what did Zeus Mark Elgart and SACS do in Atlanta? Nothing. Nada. Not a darn thing. Why? Because the Big Mules apparently didn't want ole Markie to do anything substantive. They just wanted him to get the irascible school board members who weren't going along with Beverly Hall's circus to fall back in line. What they (and their joke of a "blue ribbon" commission) didn't take into account was Governor Sonny Perdue's dandruff being raised by the Hall Administration's arrogant and recalcitrant attitude. So, ole Sonny just lowered the boom on the Atlanta Public Schools (APS) and made it undergo a real investigation. We know what this uncovered…the biggest public school cheating scandal in the history of American Public Education, according to The New York Times. What did SACS do? Just sat on its thumb and looked stupid.
SACS won't really do anything to DeKalb County either. Why not do something about the DeKalb School System's flagrantly and egregiously violating the Grievance Law (OGCA 20-2-989.5 et seq.) or the Duty Free Lunch Law for elementary teachers (OCGA 20-2-218)? Why not do something about the unconscionable behavior of the students who often curse out teachers in front of all other students with apparent impunity? Or, what about the students' assaults and batteries against the teachers? Recently, a security guard was injured trying to break up one of the student melees at Tucker High School. These things are conveniently swept under the rug while Zeus Mark Elgart piously and hypocritically prattles away about "collaboration" among school board members. I am currently reading Bob Woodward newly-released book, "The Price of Politics," which is about the gargantuan struggle of the Democrats and the Republicans on Capitol Hill in their fights over the federal budget and how they interacted with the Obama White House. These were real fights…you know, like democracy ought to occur. There wasn't much holding of hands and singing of Kum Ba Ya.
This "collaboration" standard is a joke. It takes away genuine debate. Debate among elected officials sharpens each side's arguments and exposes them in the calcium light. I have no qualms about arguing and bickering on the school board. This is the American way, and I don't know what planet Mark Elgart got off from thinking that everyone on the school board has to be exact replicas of Dale Carnegie and Amy Vanderbilt. I rather like the rascals like Hosea Williams and D. F. Glover. The problem that SACS apparently has with people like these are that the few and the select effete and elite who are not elected to anything but who really want to run everything behind the scenes (perhaps over grilled salmon and asparagus at the Piedmont Driving Club) don't like these elected rascals. They are too irascible and pay no attention to this self-appointed gentry of Atlanta. SACS is a tool of these people. This is what is happening. It's all about the money.
What is the difference between the Atlanta Board of Education and the DeKalb County Board of Education? The Royalty of Atlanta – those residing on Tuxedo or Habersham or West Paces Ferry – still have a modicum of influence in APS. These people don't send their children to the Atlanta Public Schools; their children and grandchildren attend Westminster, Marist, and Pace. But, they are concerned about taxes and who gets the contracts with APS. The only Buckhead business who seems to be getting any good business from the DeKalb Board of Education is the King & Spalding Law Firm. It appears to be making millions defending the school board in a case which, if the school board had just worked out a negotiated settlement with the construction company over change orders, etc., perhaps it could have saved millions of dollars in legal fees. And, of course, the Alston & Bird Law Firm has made a few bucks defending former superintendent, Crawford Lewis. Now, ole Glenn Brock and his firm, Brock and Clay of Marietta, have gotten in on the act. It appears that everywhere SACS goes snooping around, Brock and Clay ends up with a legal contract with the school board. Does Glenn convince the school board members that he can get the school board off the hook with SACS? Hmm.

New custom designed gates were blessed on Friday 18th July 2014 by the Reverend Michael Gobbett during a service of dedication attended by over fifty local residents and dignitaries.
PARISHIONERS marked the £15,000 renovation of a village cemetery with a dedication service attended by their MP, whose own father is buried there. County councillors Peter Brookes, Lucy Hovvels and Morris Nicholls contributed £12,000 to the scheme via their neighbourhood budgets. Trimdon Parish Council donated a further £3,000 and some money also came via St Mary Magdalene Church.
The gates were designed and made by artist blacksmith Craig Knowles and are the centrepiece of extensive renovations to St Mary Magdalene's East End Cemetery in Trimdon Village.
The project was financed by grants from County Councillors Peter Brookes and Lucy Hovvels's Neighbourhood Budget, St Mary Magdalene Church, East Durham Rural Corridor AAP and Trimdon Parish Council. Trimdon and Thornley County Councillor, Peter Brookes spoke of his delight at the project's success: "The new cemetery gates are a real focal point for Trimdon and their simple, tasteful design is a fitting entrance to such a treasured local amenity".
The cemetery was consecrated in the 1820s, but burials ended in the 1960s. The cemetery was rededicated in 1991 for the internment of cremated remains and has been maintained by volunteers from the Church Maintenance Team ever since. The recent renovations have seen refurbishment of the exterior wall, new paving, clearance of overgrown areas and the securing of damaged and tilting monuments. The majority of the project has been carried out by volunteers.
The service of dedication was followed by refreshments and speeches of thanks from both Adam Luke and County Councillor Peter Brookes.


How do you Read an A Flat Major Scale in a Music Sheet?
Maybe you were inspired by Amadeus, or maybe you just want to learn how to play "Let It Go" for your Disney-loving friends .
Either way, learning the A flat major scale is a great place to start.
Here, we're breaking down everything you need to know about A flat major, from the basics of constructing the scale to the chords you can build from it.
What is the A Flat Major Scale?
First things first: what is the A flat major scale?
In Western music, there are several types of scales, but major scales are among the most important, along with their counterpart, the minor scales.
These are both a type of diatonic scale, which is a type of scale built on natural notes (no flats or sharps) and based on seven whole steps of perfect fifths (i.e. C-G-D-A-E-B-F). Modern music refers to scales as diatonic if they are made of five whole steps and two half steps.
Major scales are perhaps the essential scales you can learn in Western music, both because of how common they are and because of how much they inform your understanding of keys.
Luckily for the new pianist, major scales always follow a specific pattern: whole, whole, whole, half, whole, whole, whole, half. As long as you remember this pattern, you can start with the root note and find your way through the scale.
The notes of A flat major are Ab, Bb, C, Db, Eb, F, and G (note that b, in this case, denotes a flat, or black key).
Once you look at a keyboard, you realize how easy it is to remember the notes of the scale as long as you know the major scale formula. A flat is a whole step (two piano keys) away from B flat, while C is only a half step (one piano key) away.
With the notes in mind, let's take a closer look at the details of A flat major.
Remember, as long as you know the root note and the major scale formula, you can figure out the remaining notes of the scale, which will, in turn, allow you to puzzle out any of the other techniques we've mentioned here.
We mentioned that the notes of A flat are Ab, Bb, C, Db, Eb, F, and G. That's important because these notes are the foundation of everything you'll do here.
Since the notes of the scale cannot change, the position of each note within the scale is also set. B flat, for example, will always serve as the second note of the scale, and A flat will always be the root note (the first note of the scale, for which the scale is named) .
You'll notice that there are four flats in the scale: Ab, Bb, Db, and Eb. On sheet music, you'll see four flats noted by a key signature at the start of the music, which automatically means each of those notes is flat.
If you've been paying attention, or you just know your intervals, then you can figure out what the intervals of A flat are.
Don't be too worried about the names of the intervals. These names serve to describe the sonic qualities of the interval–perfect fourths and fifths ring in a way other intervals do not, an observation first noted by Pythagoras.
Now, if you know the notes that make the scale, you can start doing fun things with them like constructing chords.
In piano, a chord is simply a group of three or more notes that can be played together to create a harmony . That's good news for you because these particular groupings of notes always sound good when played together.
Luckily, as long as you know the notes of the scale, you can figure out the notes of the chords, since chords are constructed from each note of a scale and cannot contain any notes except for the ones in the scale.
For those who can feel their head spinning, it's a lot simpler than it looks. Each chord contains three or four notes and is named for its root note. For a clearer understanding of the, A flat major chord read it here.
When you add the sevenths, you get the four-note chords, but since the chords can only contain the notes of the scale, the pattern of note progression in the chords is always the same.
Now, let's say you wanted to tinker with your chords. One of the easiest ways to do this is inversions.
Let's say you want to play the Ab major triad chord: Ab, C, Eb. Playing an inversion basically means shifting your hand so that a different note begins the chord, which is why there are only three ways to play the triad chord (root, 1st inversion, and 2nd inversion).
The first inversion goes C, Eb, Ab. Place your hand on the notes of the root position, then shift your hand to the right and resume the notes of the chord, et voila: the first inversion!
The second inversion goes Eb, Ab, C. The same premise applies: shift your hand two places to the right.
Note, however, that you can shift your hand to the left as well, so long as you maintain the notes of the chord.
Who knew you could do so much with those seven little notes of the A flat major scale?
Better yet, there are still 88 more keys for you to learn and play. If you need tips, tricks, and guides to help figure it out, check out our blog for more posts like this one taking you through everything you need to know about this amazing instrument.
