The Story of Bottled Water, released on March 22, 2010 (World Water Day) employs the Story of Stuff style to tell the story of manufactured demand—how you get Americans to buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week when it already flows from the tap. Over five minutes, the film explores the bottled water industrys attacks on tap water and its use of seductive, environmental-themed advertising to cover up the mountains of plastic waste it produces. The film concludes with a call to take back the tap, not only by making a personal commitment to avoid bottled water, but by supporting investments in clean, available tap water for all.

Newton Fires a Stellar 16-Under to be Crowned 2021 Ontario Junior (U19) Boys' Champ
Cambridge, ON – Weather delays seemed to be the theme of the 99th Ontario Junior (U19) Boys' Championship, as Whistle Bear Golf Club experienced an early morning storm creating a delay in tee times. Delayed 70 minutes heading into the final round of the championship, players teed off at 8:40 a.m. with sunshine finally poking through.
In an absolutely stellar four rounds of championship play, the newly crowned Ontario Junior (U19) Boys' Champion is James Newton (Royal Ottawa GC). Shooting 68, 67, 70, and 67 over the four rounds left Newton with a clean 16-under total (272). The Royal Ottawa Golf Club player fired 24 birdies to give him a 13-stroke lead over silver medalist Ben MacLean (Cherry Hill). MacLean completed the championship with a tough closing round of 79 (285). Taking home bronze medalist hardware in a four-way tie is Shawn Sehra (Kingsville G&CC), Isaiah Ibit (Greyhawk GC), Sam Hogan (Rattlesnake Point GC), and Graem Costigan (Galt CC).
During his post win interview, Newton said "I've been coming to this tournament a lot over the past couple of years. I've always seen that everyone who's won has played exceptionally well and I thought I played well enough this week to win it, and I did. It feels great and it's the quite accomplishment, so I'm happy for what the future holds." When asked what was going through his head coming down the stretch on 18, Newton commented "I saw all of the video's cameras first, but I stuck to what I had been doing all week. I just had to hit four good shots; the fairway and two putted on the green." With the championship win, Newton secures an exemption into the Canadian Men's Amateur Championship. It takes place at Ambassador Golf Club from August 2-5.
The Ontario Junior (U19) Boys' Championship also awards the top 28 competitors a quota spot for the Canadian Junior Boys' Championship. This is quite the achievement and we wish you the best of luck in competition. This championship will be hosted at Vallee du Richelieu in Quebec from August 9-12.

In the event that you are often receiving payday loans, take care of the main reason for why this is going on! Payday cash loans could help you for the short term.In the end they could actually destroy your own finances, when you are not careful. Determine the reasons you keep wanting these financial loans, Try to changing the problems associated with it.
Before signing up for a pay day loan, carefully think about how much cash that you will need to have. You need to use only the money that might be needed for the short term, and that you will be capable of paying again after the term of the personal loan.
Ensure that your payday advance agreement is within English language. Some rogue payday loan firms create their personal loan commitments in the international language, so that you can trick clients into agreeing to unfavorable terms. As a result, it is important which you make sure that you are aware of each of the text showcased on the pay day loan contract before you sign it.
While searching for a pay day loan vender, look into whether they really are a direct lender or perhaps an indirect financial institution. Direct loan providers are loaning you their particular capitol, while an indirect loan company is serving as a middleman. The service is possibly just as good, but an indirect loan provider has to obtain their cut also. Which means you shell out an increased monthly interest.

Because creditors have made it so simple to get a cash advance, a lot of people utilize them when they are not in the problems or unexpected emergency scenario. This will trigger individuals to become secure make payment on high interest rates and once a crisis develops, they are inside a awful situation since they are presently overextended.

#SuzyLFW: Fashion's Reality Check
By Suzy Menkes 20 February 2018
Faustine Steinmetz and the Marques'Almeida duo move beyond denim
Marques'Almeida: All kinds of women
The opening of the Marques'Almeida show seemed as varied in colour, shape and drape as the graffiti tags on the walls of the abandoned train tunnel in which it was held.
Marques'Almeida's Autumn/Winter 2018 show was held in an abandoned railway tunnel
© Natasha Cowan
The set, from what was once the British industrial heartland, is a familiar backdrop to the Portuguese duo. So is the idea of using 'real people' as models, which is fashion-speak for non-conformity of body shape or beauty.
Marques'Almeida Autumn/Winter 2018
This season the duo reached a height of sophistication (presumably with the ongoing support of their 2015 LVMH Prize), while remaining passionate about their beliefs.
"We have always done things the normal way in fashion. It's slightly uncomfortable the way girls are treated and portrayed," said Marta Marques. "You are trying to get 17-year-old girls to wear something that you know a 50-year-old woman is going to buy. So it made sense for us to really work with these girls and empower them. Inspiration comes from them and it's for them as well. So we want do things responsibly in the way we feel is right."
The designers once again used friends of friends, including three sisters, to show their own differences.
For a couple who started with street style and used mainly denim, they have moved towards greater variety. There was, for example, a shapely dress in bronze velvet or the same texture and colour for top and trousers. A white coat with rows of buttons was equally grown-up. Other pieces were more focused on oversized, not to say sloppy, sweaters.
Variety may be the spice of life, but why was it important to have different shapes and sizes?
"It's massively important – it's the whole idea. That is what we are saying," Marta explained. "We have always felt something is slightly 'off' in the fashion industry. We need it to be more diverse and more inclusive. It is for these girls."
Joint creative directors Marta Marques and Paolo Almeida take a bow after their Autumn/Winter 2018 show held in an abandoned train tunnel for London Fashion Week
Faustine Steinmetz: Variations on a theme
Faustine Steinmetz Autumn/Winter 2018
Previous shows at Faustine Steinmetz have been elaborations and revelations about denim, from indigo to weaving techniques. But on the runway, she worked around what she called "a series of archetypes", from trench coats to cable sweaters and, of course, blue (or some other coloured) jeans.
She described the collection as "the typical Parisian wardrobe de-constructed". But on the runway, as opposed to up-close, the exceptional surfaces and treatments could not be gauged – especially in the inventive denims of 2018.

Daredevil Fundraisers Complete Abseil Challenge for Yorkshire Cancer Research
Daredevil fundraisers braved new heights for Yorkshire Cancer Research when they completed a 30 metre abseil from the top of the Portland Building at Leeds Beckett University.
32 employees from organisations across West Yorkshire took part in the corporate challenge, raising thousands of pounds to help more people in Yorkshire survive cancer.
Among the participants were eight members of staff from Leeds-based global law firm Squire Patton Boggs, who brought four family members and friends along with them.
The team has raised close to £4,000 for Yorkshire Cancer Research through sponsorship for completing the abseil.
Mark Simpson, partner at Squire Patton Boggs and chair of the firm's charity committee, said: "The prospect of abseiling down the Portland Building was daunting for many in the Squire Patton Boggs team but we were all determined to do it. Everyone came away thrilled that they had taken part and raised so much for Yorkshire Cancer Research, our Leeds office charity for 2017."
Other organisations that took part include Eastwood Financial Services, who entered a team of five and raised more than £1,500, and the Ministry of Justice.
Karen Wynard, Managing Director at Eastwood Financial Services, said: "Yorkshire Cancer Research are a valued client but also a charity very close to the hearts of many of us at Eastwood Financial Services. We were therefore delighted to be able to offer our support by taking part in this event, which was very enjoyable and very well organised. It was also a great experience for our team of five and we are all very proud of our achievements and also our fundraising efforts."
Stephanie Jones, Corporate Partnerships Officer at Yorkshire Cancer Research, said: "The Yorkshire Abseil Challenge was a great event. Bringing supporters together to lower themselves off a building was quite an experience and the fundraising has been incredible. Thank you to everyone who got involved. The money raised will help the charity raise awareness of cancer and how to prevent it, promote screening programmes and fund innovative research, from diagnosis to end-of-life care."

Preventing stains on clothing can be achieved in several ways, including protecting clothing and proper pretreating of spills prior to washing. This is a guide about preventing stains on clothing.
When you need to protect your clothing while eating, use a towel with binder clips as a "bib".
Ive just started back at school for year 12, and the uniform is a white blouse and black skirt. However, I bought a new backpack for school, it is unfortunately fake leather and black. When I use it, which is everyday but weekends, where the straps go they leave black on my shirt and it is really hard to wash out. I love the bag and I have already swapped it once and don't want to again. Help!
I would suggest lining the straps that come into contact with your blouse with a fabric such as denim or fleece. Just cut strips the same width as the straps and use fabric glue to glue the strips to the straps.


Distribution of major Buddhist traditions, East Asian Mahayana in yellow.
Tablets of the Tripiṭaka Koreana, an early edition of the Chinese Buddhist canon, in Haeinsa Temple, South Korea.
East Asian Buddhism or East Asian Mahayana is a collective term for the schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism that developed in the East Asia, and follow the Chinese Buddhist canon. These include the various forms of Chinese Buddhism, Japanese Buddhism, Vietnamese Buddhism and Korean Buddhism. Besides being a major religion in these four cultural regions, it is also a significant religion in Singapore and Malaysia. East Asian Buddhists constitute the numerically largest body of Buddhist traditions in the world, numbering over half of the world's Buddhists.
East Asian forms of Buddhism all derive from sinicized Buddhist schools that developed between the Han dynasty (when Buddhism was first introduced from Central Asia) and the Song dynasty, and therefore they are influenced by Chinese culture and philosophy. Some of the most influential traditions include Chan or Zen Buddhism, Pure Land Buddhism, Huayan, Tiantai and Chinese Esoteric Buddhism. These schools developed new, uniquely Asian interpretations of Buddhist texts and focused on the study of Mahayana sutras. According to Paul Williams, this emphasis on the study of the sutras contrasts with the Tibetan Buddhist attitude which sees the sutras as too difficult unless approached through the study of philosophical treatises (shastras).
The texts of the Chinese Canon began to be translated in the second century and the collection continued to evolve over a period of a thousand years, the first woodblock printed edition being published in 983. The modern standard edition is the Taishō Tripiṭaka, produced in Japan between 1924 and 1932.
Besides sharing a canon of scripture, the various forms of East Asian Buddhism have also adapted East Asian values and practices which were not prominent in Indian Buddhism, such as Chinese ancestor veneration and the Confucian view of filial piety.
East Asian Buddhist monastics generally follow the monastic rule known as the Dharmaguptaka Vinaya. One major exception is some schools of Japanese Buddhism where Buddhist clergy sometimes marry, without following the traditional monastic code or Vinaya. This developed during the Meiji Restoration, when a nationwide campaign against Buddhism forced certain Japanese Buddhist sects to change their practices.

Due to the effects of global warming, Greenland's ice sheet is melting at a fairly rapid pace and researchers have turned to the help of a student designed, solar powered rover in order to assist them in surveying the damage done.
The device which is called the GROVER (Greenland Rover and/or Goddard Remotely Operated Vehicle) came about as a result of a student project at NASA run summer engineering camps. It may not look that way from the photo but this rover is about 6 feet tall if you account for the soar panels. The panels are oriented in such a way as to collect sunlight from all directions including that reflected from the snow therefore maximizing the amount of sunlight it can utilize to charge its batteries . GROVER collects data through the use of a ground-penetrating radar system which is powered and transmits this data wirelessly to researchers.
Researches initially hoped to be able to operate the vehicle 24/7 since the sun never sets during the summer in arctic regions, meaning that the device should have theoretically been able to continuously receive charge to it's batteries from the solar panels. However, due to the unforgiving conditions, only 12 hours per day on average was achieved — still quite impressive if I must say.
GROVER is now safely back at the NASA base camp in Greenland after successfully collecting important data on the ice layers — even detecting and measuring a newly formed one. Upgrades have already begun on GROVER with the intention of making it better able to endure harsh arctic conditions. There are even talks of creating smaller drones which could work in conjunction with the current vehicle.

How Much Does a Ford F
While the chassis and other components would be common to both manufacturers, Ford and International would each source their own bodywork and powertrain; the cab for the Ford trucks would be common with other Super Duty models. The interior design of the all-new Super Duty is similar to that of the 2015 , and shares many of the F-150's components. The two-wheel drive Crew Cab gets 10,300 pounds 3. The truck will be available in F-250, F-350, and F-450 pickup truck models, and F-350, F-450, and F-550 chassis cab models. A basic two-wheel drive model of the Ford F-250 with a regular cab weighs 5,648 pounds.
How much weight can I put in my F250?
There is an optional concealed slide-out step and swing-up hand grab bar in the rear tailgate for easy access. The trucks were once under investigation by the for steering failures, but the investigation revealed the failures were driver error and had nothing to do with design. These numbers also are shown on the Safety Compliance Certification Label. Earlier s5-42 versions were rated to 570 Nm 420 ft lbs of torque, while later s5-47 versions were rated to 636 Nm 470 ft lbs. With these body and engine differences, the tow specifications vary between the F250s.
The Super Duty trucks utilize a distinct chassis from the lighter , with heavier-duty chassis and suspension components to allow for higher payload and towing capacities; additionally, the product line continued the use of diesel engines. The only engine offered in the F-450 Super Duty is the 6. At its launch, the Super Duty F-Series was sold with the. Due to problems with the head bolts Navistar re-designed the engine with reinforced heads, more torque and, power releasing the new design in 2005-6. While a smaller-displacement engine than its predecessor, its output is higher than the 7. The Super Duty trucks would be produced with three cab configurations: two-door standard cab, 2+2 door SuperCab, and four-door crew cab. It does no good to add extra heavy spring rates, if you still have low weight ratings on your tires.

The interior was trimmed in all black leather, instead of the two-tone for 2008. Ford's ToughBed spray on bedliner and a rearview camera was made options. The new engine is an entirely Ford product, unlike previous diesels, therefore reducing development costs and shipping delays. As before, the engine continued to be produced by Navistar.
An adaptive shift function monitors the TorqShift's performance over its lifetime, and adjusts shift pressures in real time to assure consistent shift feel and compensate for wear.

The four-wheel drive Crew Cab gets 10,400 pounds 3. Crew Cab models will have a 34-gallon 128l tank for the 6. Ford offered a special Super Duty truck from 2004-2007. The four-wheel drive gets 11,000 pounds 3. Comparable weights for an 8-foot bed are 5,987 and 6,447 pounds, respectively. For the 2016 model year, the medium-duty truck range was given a major upgrade, following the end of the joint venture and the shift of the production to the United States.
The 2015-2016 F-250 and F-350 have 14. It has 2 available axle ratios of 4. On two-wheel drive F-250 and F-350 pickups, the Twin I-Beam independent front suspension with coil springs was used; their four-wheel drive counterparts were equipped with solid front axle and with leaf springs. I saw at least 4 vehicles that met my searches and at the time when I was ready, I had no way to get to them. Base prices in the U.

We Stand more of a chance of eliminating a mass shooting if someone in the school has the opportunity to shoot the shooter, 17 people died in Florida today during a school shooting.
A security guard placed himself in front of students and took multiple bullets and later died, if he was armed he could have shot the shooter and maybe, he would still be alive the shooting lasted four minutes maybe it wouldn't have gotten that far if a security guard was armed.
The Security system at Pennridge School District that they use now where you push a button and someone says hi can I help you?

Seattle police shooting kills armed 30-year-old woman; read both sides here
By KIRO 7 News Staff
VIDEO: Officer involved shooting Emotions running high 24 hours after a pregnant woman was killed by police.From the scene to the streets of Seattle and across political lines. Seattle is demanding answers after police say they were forced to fire.
SEATTLE — A 30-year-old woman who police said was armed with two knives was shot and killed Sunday afternoon in North Seattle.
Charleena Chavon Lyles called police to report the theft of an X-box. An audio recording indicates two officers spent about two minutes calmly speaking with Lyles, who at one point armed herself with two kitchen knives. Lyles had been ordered by a Seattle Mental Health Court judge to not possess weapons just weeks before the shooting.
Family told KIRO 7 News that was a mother of four children and pregnant. They are demanding answers, wondering why police used fatal force. Meanwhile, SPD is conducting a use of deadly force investigation, and recently released dashcam video. See it below.
Key developments:
Two officers responded to the Charleena Lyles' apartment in the Sand Point neighborhood on Sunday.
She was armed with a knife, and The Associated Press reported she came at the officers.
Both officers fired their weapons. They have not been identified are on paid leave per standard procedure. Lyles was hit multiple times and died inside the apartment.
KIRO 7 News obtained documents five days before the fatal incident that showed a judge in Seattle Mental Health Court ordered her not to possess "weapons or items that can be used as weapons."
That court order stemmed from an early-June incident regarding domestic disturbance, where Lyles was found at her Sand Point apartment armed with long metal shears. A police report from the incident notes she "experienced a recent sudden and rapid decline in her mental health."
Lyles was released from jail June 14.
Family told KIRO 7 News that Charleena Chavon Lyles was a mother of four children and pregnant.
They are demanding answers, wondering why police used fatal force.
Family members believe that race was factor in the shooting of Lyles, a black woman.
Three children were inside the apartment at the time of Sunday's shooting, and they were taken into protective custody.

What police say about the shooting
As two officers responded to Lyles' fourth-floor home in Brettler Family Place 3 near Magnuson Park in northeast Seattle. Police said she came at the officers with a knife, the AP reported.
Police fired shots. Medics performed CPR on Lyles for 10 minutes, but she died in the apartment.
Three children who were inside the apartment at the time. They have been taken into protective custody.

Jamieson says detectives are investigating and the woman was known to officers.
Police released audio of the officer-involved shooting on Monday morning. The audio file was captured by the officers' dashcam video system, which was on in the patrol cars of both responding officers.
KIRO 7 has posted an excerpt of the audio below in which the moments before gunshots were fired and the actual shooting can be heard. Watch it below and scroll down to keep reading. Follow this link to hear the full audio.
The full four minutes of audio can be heard here. It has the conversation between the officers as they discuss the history at the home and their concerns.
No officers were injured.
On Monday night, the police department released a full transcript – along with dashcam images and video that showed the hallway outside Lyles' apartment. It shows the conversation exchanged before and during the shooting.
Lyles' recent 'rapid decline in her mental health'
At a court hearing the afternoon of June 13 – five days before the fatal shooting – Lyles was ordered not to possess "weapons or items that can be used as weapons."
>> Order not to posses weapons
That order came after a June 5 incident at the same public housing unit – one that has some similarities to reports in the fatal case on June 18.
Police were dispatched at 11:25 a.m. to the residence for a physical domestic disturbance report. Lyles was located and "had armed herself with a pair of extra long metal shears and was threatening the officers," according to an incident report.
Police, who described Lyles in the report as either hallucinating or delusional and "out of touch with reality," said she told them "Ain't none of y'all leaving her here today!"
>> Previous case incident report
Officer had their service pistols drawn but not pointed at her. In the report, the officers said they were fearful for their safety. According to the report, at one point Lyles' 4-year-old daughter was sitting in her lap, and, at points, crawling around her waist.
Additional units responded. Lyles reportedly talked about wanting to "morph into a wolf" and talked about "cloning her daughter.
"She also made several unusual religious comments talking about how police officers were devils and also members of the KKK," according to the incident report.
After multiple commands, Lyles let the scissors fall to the floor between her feet. Police said she refused to step away when ordered, but eventually moved. Her 4-year-old child had an apparent developmental disability, but was calming down after the incident. Police said the girl was later given to Lyles sister.
She also had a son at a child facility in Capitol Hill and two other children in elementary school, police reported.
"After talking with Lyles' family, we learned that Lyles had experienced a recent sudden and rapid decline in her mental health," an officer wrote in the incident report. "When we explained to her family the behavior and statements Lyles made to us, they were surprised and informed us she has not had any behavior similar to this in the past. Lyles' family is concerned for her and they have a strong desire to stabilize her mental health condition before it gets worse."
She was booked into King County Jail for investigation of harassment.
Her defense attorney told a judge at her June 6 bail hearing that she was assaulted by the father of her oldest child the day before the bail hearing.
An assistant city attorney told a judge he was concerned about the current incident report and her previous assault convictions and asked that Lyles be held on $7,500 bail.
Lyles' defense attorney said she was getting mental health treatment and said the June 5 incident "was more of a mental health crisis," but argued for her release. Lyles' attorney asked for the case to go to Mental Health Court, part of Seattle Municipal Court.
Lyles appeared in Seattle's Mental Health Court on June 13, five days before the shooting. Her court case was ongoing at the time of her death.
Lyles was prescribed medication, her attorney told a Seattle Mental Health Court judge, but she had not taken it because she was pregnant. The mother had a history of using meth, but completed a chemical dependency assessment, and had not used meth in more than five months, her attorney told the judge on June 13.
Child Protective Services encouraged Lyles to get a mental health evaluation as part of a parenting plan, her attorney said. She was required to go to the day reporting office for Valley Cities Counseling every Tuesday and Thursday. She also was required to avoid alcohol and drugs, and was subject to random testing.

About Lyles' life
Lyles is survived by four children, family tells KIRO 7 News.
James Bible, an attorney representing relatives of Lyles, said Tuesday that "the officers knew she was vulnerable" when they went to her apartment.
"When we call police for help, we expect protection, we expect safety," Bible said. "It was their responsibility to protect her and they didn't."
He said family members are heartbroken and dedicated to finding justice.
Lyles' cousin, Kenny Isabell, pastor of The Way of Holiness Church of God in Seattle, described Lyles as depressed but not violent. He said she "was going through some things in her life" but was working hard on improving it.
A story in the Federal Way Mirror featured Lyles in 2008. She received a job through a program for at-risk youth.
Lyles had been receiving welfare when she entered the THRIVE program at age 21, according to the report. She was later placed at the Poverty Bay Coffee Company in Federal Way, where she was permanently employed and no longer received welfare.
Brettler Family Place, where Lyles lived, is a community made up of 52 families coming out of emergency and transitional shelters.
What family says about Lyles
When KIRO 7 News was on the scene Sunday, the raw emotion of a family receiving terrible news was on full display.
"My cousin called to tell me it's my sister," Monika Williams cried out in anguish.
Williams said that while her sister suffered from mental health issues, she was not a threat.
"What is she going do to all you police?" Williams said. "You big ass men? I can take her down, I know you can."
"There's no reason for her to be shot in front of her babies."
Family members believe that the shooting was unnecessary and that race was a factor. Friends and family held a vigil Sunday night for the woman.
How the city of Seattle is reacting
Seattle Mayor Ed Murray is promising a full investigation. He called the shooting "a tragedy for all involved."
"Our historic police reforms, from de-escalation training to civilian-monitored force review, are in place to address such crises. This will be fully investigated," Murray said.
He added that the investigation will be reviewed by the federal monitoring team supervising the city's consent decree.
Seattle has been under a 2012 consent decree with the U.S. Justice Department that resolved allegations of unconstitutional policing. Seattle officials agreed to an independent monitor and federal court oversight of the city's police department after a Justice investigation found that in previous cases Seattle officers used excessive force.

Love: it's what makes the world go around. As humans, we are the world's largest purveyors of the power of love. Sure, we know our animal friends like to spread the message of love as well, but until our furry friends start making piles of mix-tapes and sappy movies devoted to this feeling, we're claiming it.
But for all the bizarre things we profess our undying passion for — our cell phones, pens with kitten toppers, Avocado Jalapeño Poppers, Jared Leto (the list could go on for days), we don't even mention Mother Earth. Or at least not on a daily basis, which is a little bizarre when you think about it, considering we interact with the natural world all the time. And let's be honest, nature is pretty incredible and deserves our love and respect a whole lot more than our usual objects of affection (sorry, Leto).
If you're wondering WHY we need to show Earth some love, look no further.
The world's oceans produce 70 percent of the oxygen we breathe and absorb around 50 percent of the carbon dioxide we emit. The oceans have created the perfect balance that allows us to have clean air to breathe while mitigating a ton of the pollution we produce.
We could all stand to show how much we care about this enormous aqueous entity by lowering our carbon footprint, minimizing (ideally, eliminating) the amount of fish in our diet, and avoiding plastic whenever possible.
There is no way that you can look at something as pristine as this image of Glacier National Park and not be instantly humbled. That's nature.
Like the ocean, the world's trees and forests are extremely beneficial to humans. Not only do trees provide us with much needed oxygen supplies, but they also regulate global climate. But the world's forests are being compromised by human industry and deforestation. To show you care, minimize your consumption of animal products and always check consumer goods for palm oil. Think of it as a little love letter to the world when you do.
No matter how terrible of a day you might have had, when you look up at the sky at the end of it … there's no way you won't smile.
Humans might not be known for living "lightly," but most people do not recognize the extent to which we overuse the world's natural resources. Between the land we use, resources we take from the ocean, humans currently use one and a half Earth's worth of renewable resources! So let's all try a little harder to reverse this trend and be mindful of our consumption habits.
You might consider your house as your "home," but the natural world has created the perfect balance of resources and habitat for you to survive. While it might get cold and rainy sometimes, without the natural world, we'd literally be lost in space!
This might be the world's largest understatement, but without the natural world, there would be no other living species. Biodiversity is what makes the world go around and we all need to do our part to protect the animals we share the planet with. We can do this by learning how our consumption habits affect the environment and harm animals.
Writer and environmentalist, John Muir once stated, "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe." Quite simply, when we cut down forests and clog the oceans with plastic and other pollution, we are only hurting ourselves. But, if we actively work to mitigate the damage we've done to the natural world, we can recover the environment's natural balance. Healthy planet-healthy us.

Q: Modify UITableViewController data from child Controller I have two controllers. On cell click my UITableViewController(A) navigates to child UIViewController(B) through
navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true)

In the B I edit cell's specific data and return back to the tableViewController
To execute A data update I use delegation. So B executes A "edit" function to update the row with A's method:
rows.insert(row, at: 0)
tableView.beginUpdates()
tableView.insertRows(at: [IndexPath(row: 0, section: 0)], with: .automatic)
tableView.endUpdates()

But when I try to do it, I receive an Xcode warning:

UITableView was told to layout its visible cells and other contents without being in the view hierarchy...

As I understand, to update the A it needs to be visible. Table updates but I do something wrong for sure.
Is there a way to avoid this warning using delegation pattern or I should consider another method?

Black History Month was first officially recognized in Canada in 1995 following a motion introduced in the House of Commons by the first Black Canadian woman elected to Parliament, the Hon. Jean Augustine. Parliament subsequently and unanimously carried the motion.
Recognized every February, Black History Month encourages people to celebrate the many achievements and contributions of Black Canadians who, throughout history, have done much to help create a culturally diverse and compassionate nation. The month also reminds Canadians of the long history of Black settlement and achievement in Canada and prompts citizens to reflect on the painful fact that some African people were once enslaved in the territory that is now Canada.
Throughout February, we hope to recognize on our social media channels just a few of the many individuals of African and African-Canadian descent who have been students of Pearson College UWC. We cannot do justice to this entire cohort of students from the last 45 years, but we hope to offer a small sample.
In this edition of Pearson eNews, we are highlighting Lama Mugabo (YR2/1977, Rwanda), who has been active on social justice and poverty alleviation issues in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside (DTES) for decades and has worked to build meaningful bridges between his Rwandan homeland and Canada. Lama is a lifelong activist and involved in so many initiatives that are enough for two stories. Watch for Part 2 in the February Pearson eNews.
Vancouver is Canada's largest west coast city and one of the country's major centres, but few people, including many in that city, know that it was once home to a thriving Black community that over the years faded away and was largely forgotten.
But Pearson alum Lama Mugabo (YR 2/1977, Rwanda) knows all about Hogan's Alley, because he is front and centre in current efforts to recognize and honour this community by establishing a permanent Black Cultural Centre and fighting for affordable neighbourhood housing that will prioritize access for people of African-Canadian descent.
"You know, with no black cultural centre in Vancouver and February being Black History Month, every year we struggle to fit everything cultural about Black people into the shortest month of the year and we never succeed," said Lama with a smile in his voice.
He noted that a community centre would not only revitalize the local area but would also feed into a demand across the Lower Mainland (Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley) from people of all backgrounds to learn more about Vancouver's heritage and history.
"Whenever we organize events we sell out – so many people want to come out, so many people are curious to know more about the community," added Lama.
While there were many historical factors at work, Lama pointed out that a major factor contributing to the displacement of the community was the construction of a viaduct in 1915 and its replacement by the Georgia and Dunsmuir street viaducts in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Each project, in its own way, had a direct negative impact in disrupting neighbourhoods such as Hogan's Alley, neighbouring Chinatown and the adjacent Gastown and Downtown Eastside (DTES) areas.
In fact, in 1967, 15 city blocks, including the western section of Hogan's Alley, were leveled to clear the way for what later became part of a waterfront freeway right-of-way that would almost certainly destroy a good deal of the housing stock and available land near downtown Vancouver.
What amounted to a typically polite and thoughtful Canadian citizens' uprising in Vancouver led governments to shelve the entire freeway project but leaving the twin viaducts in place leading to and from surface streets in both directions. A little over three years ago, Vancouver City Council voted to demolish the viaducts and embark on a revitalized residential neighborhood plan. The design phase is underway with construction not expected to begin until at least 2020.
That's where Lama and his peers re-enter the picture.
Vancouver's DTES is commonly regarded as the poorest postal code district in Canada. Though a strong and distinct neighbourhood, its stock of "relatively affordable" rental housing has long attracted individuals and families with low incomes and, in some cases, mental health, addiction and other health challenges.
While these realities cut across all ethnicities and backgrounds, Lama allowed that the opportunity to serve the community through opportunities to access affordable, stable housing, in both the short term (through modular housing) and in the longer term through a design process that will include social housing components, is important.
"I tell you, it is so gratifying to be able to offer service to people who have been marginalized for so long. When you tell them about this opportunity, they can't believe it – they think they've died and gone to heaven. It's amazing.
Having access to safe, stable and affordable housing is a critical factor in a person's ability to look after themselves and their mental health. According to the Canadian Mental Health Organization, good housing can help rebuild and maintain independence, day-to-day routines, confidence and social networks.
Next month, we will focus on Lama's work in Rwanda, Vancouver's DTES and on a new food security initiative that is reaching out to First Nations communities in British Columbia.

The subcompact SUV will offer an enhanced 1.4 liter turbocharged, direct injection engine on most trims. That option produces more power, more torque and stop/start technology and will boost its EPA-estimated mileage to 28 mpg city and 34 mpg highway (front-wheel drive models). Roche Photo for GM
The 2017 Buick Encore is expected to go on sale this fall, initially offered in five trim levels: Encore (1SB), Encore Sport Touring (1SH), Encore Convenience (1SD), Encore Leather (1SL) and Encore Premium (1SN). Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available. cgibackgrounds.com

New York — The 2017 Buick Encore has a refreshed exterior with new grille and LED lighting as well as a host of new interior technologies that General Motors Co. hopes will continue the vehicle's success.
The small SUV has significantly grown in importance since it first entered Buick's lineup for the 2013 model-year. The Encore was Buick's best-selling model in 2015, accounting for 30 percent of the brand's U.S. sales.
Inside, the Encore gets an updated interior, while Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported by a next-generation IntelliLink system featuring an 8-inch-diagonal color touch screen.
A 1.4-liter turbo four-cylinder engine with an EPA-rated at 25 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway for front-wheel-drive models will remain standard. An enhanced 1.4 liter turbocharged, direct injection engine with more power, more torque and stop/start technology also will be available on most trims. That engine will have an EPA-estimated 28 mpg city and 34 mpg highway (front-wheel drive models).
The 2017 Encore is expected to go on sale this fall, initially offered in five trim levels: Encore (1SB), Encore Sport Touring (1SH), Encore Convenience (1SD), Encore Leather (1SL) and Encore Premium (1SN). Front-wheel drive is standard, with all-wheel drive available.
The Encore has particularly been successful for GM because it was the first to offer a subcompact SUV/crossover, as Americans started trading in their cars for crossovers. Many automakers, including crosstown rivals Ford Motor Co. and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, just began offering mainstream subcompact crossover/SUV models two years later.
GM sold 67,549 Encore models in the United States in 2015, up 38.2 percent from the previous year.

Q: Squid proxy logging and filtering I am trying to reduce internet bandwidth consumption. I have installed squid as a transparent proxy server and it is currently getting all traffic from port 80. I am using the proxy_stats.gawk utility to generate reports. I am still only logging 1/4 of the traffic the ISP actually reports. Can i get all traffic on all other ports to go though the proxy as well. i.e. VOIP... How can i Achieve this?

A: There are several things you can do. If you've set it up transparently, and you're really only looking for reporting, you can get iptables to log connections. That way you can meter bandwidth.
I reccomend setting up similar to this: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-configuring-ip-traffic-accounting/
If you want to do more than report on bandwidth usage, that's a wholly different story. You'd need targeted application level proxies.

10.11.2017 What happened in Las Vegas? Kurt Haskell
October 3, 2017 October 12, 2017 rlmcintosh70
Listen to our past episodes on Vimeo and YouTube!
Attorney Kurt Haskell returns to ShadowCitizen to discuss his take on the recent Las Vegas Massacre. Both Rachael and Kurt agree 100% that people died but the "official narrative" was completely sketchy and in certain instances downright insulting. His recent review of Charlottesville and other false flag events have made Kurt a popular guest and immediate go to researcher for situations like Las Vegas.
Attorney Haskell is otherwise known as the "Underwear Bomber Witness". He was on board Northwest Airlines Flight 253, the target of a failed al-Qaeda bombing attempt on Christmas Day, December 25, 2009. He is keenly aware of the use of 'false flags' – which are covert operations designed to deceive in such a way as to appear as though it is being carried out by entities, groups, or nations other than those who actually planned and executed it.

We loved the Madonna and Miley Cyrus mash-up performed on MTV Unplugged, but we've found a few other collaborations that might just beat this one.
Whether or not you watched MTV Unplugged, you must have heard about the buzz-worthy musical alliance of the great Madonna and Miley Cyrus.
The duo appeared on the show on Wednesday, performing a medley of Madonna's "Don't Tell Me" and Cyrus' "We Can't Stop," with a surprising dose of onstage grinding.
We actually appreciated the Western-inspired denim attire, although we would rather Miley had worn a shirt. But hey, you can't have everything. The mash-up was surprisingly interesting and well done. The grinding, though… All the grinding! There was something strange about Madonna groping up on Cyrus, who is almost her daughter's age. Maybe we're just too traditional.
We liked it! Maybe we're blinded by our eternal adoration of Madonna, but the mash-up was pretty great. Naturally we saw this duet as a challenge and found a few other collaborations that might rival the awesomeness of this one. You be the judge!
This song appeared on the Moulin Rouge! soundtrack and featured the biggest names in music at the time. It's a pretty saucy song, if we do say so ourselves. We won't even mention the music video… Great collaboration.
First of all, the song is amazing. Kelly Clarkson joined forces with one of the biggest names in country history, Reba, to create a magnificent track. It's beautiful and powerful. It makes us want to cry.
It's a collaboration between Stevie Wonder and Paul McCartney… What can be better? Nothing. On the surface, the song is about the black and white keys on a piano, but the subtext is obviously about racial integration. Beautiful song.
Which collaboration is your favourite?


I've been making the case for using passphrases rather than passwords for years, especially in our press releases for our annual Worst Passwords lists.
A good passphrase consisting of several words with spaces or dashes in between (like "Garage-city-park-where" or "eat cake every eighth") is stronger than most gobbledygook passwords that have lots of random characters, and passphrases offer the very meaningful advantage of being far easier to remember for real human beings.
This comic became so popular it inspired some serious research into making long, secure passphrases that are easier to remember. The surprising result? Poetry could be the answer.
This research in turn inspired lots of media coverage like this story from NPR and this one from the Times of India.
What do you think? Are passphrases a good way to create stronger passwords? What's your favorite way to create long, complex passwords? Of course, if you use a password manager like TeamsID, you can generate long, strong, and truly random passwords easily.
6 Comments on "The case for passphrases"
This is really interesting! I'm definitely one of those people who just makes a password some letters, numbers, and sometimes symbols that I "should" be able to remember because they have some kind of significance to me. However, I'm still constantly having to reset my password on different sites because I can't remember what combination of things I used. The idea of using passphrases really makes sense though! I'm going to be trying this more often now so that I'll hopefully be spared a lot of aggravation and password resets. And I'll have more security!
Caitlin, give passphrases a try and let me know how they work for you!

Q: How to make javascript fetch synchronous? I'm using fetch to get data json from an api. Works fine but I have to use it repeatedly for various calls, thus it needs to be synchronous or else I need some way to update the interface when the fetch completes for each component.
function fetchOHLC(yUrl){
    fetch(yUrl)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(function(response) {
                alert(JSON.stringify(response.query));

            var t = response.created;
            var o = response.open;
            var h = response.high;
            var l = response.low;
            var c = response.close;

        return {t,o,h,l,c};

    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.log(error);
    });
}

var fetchData = fetchOHLC(yUrl);
alert(fetchData); // empty ?

Is there any other way to achieve it other than using fetch? (I don't want to use jquery preferrably).
Thanks
Edit
The question is about fetch-api, not ajax, not jquery, so please stop marking it as duplicate of those questions without reading it properly.

A: fetch is intended to do asynchronous calls only, but the are some options:
Option 1
If XMLHttpRequest is also fine, then you can use async: false, which will do a synchronous call.
Option 2
Use async/await which is asynchronous under the hood, but feels like it is synchronous, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/54950884/2590616
Option 3

or else I need some way to update the interface when the fetch completes for each component

This sound like fetch + Promise.all() would be a good fit, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/52013616/2590616

A: If you don't want to use the fetch api you will have to use callbacks, event listeners, XMLHttpRequest.

A: You always can use the old fashion way using xhr. Here a example of a request.
   var xhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
   xhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
      if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
        document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = this.responseText;
       }
     };

   xhttp.open("POST", "cookies.php", true);
   xhttp.send();

A: You simply need to add callback function as parameter.
function fetchOHLC(yUrl, callback){
    fetch(yUrl)
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(function(response) {
            alert(JSON.stringify(response.query));

            var t = response.created;
            var o = response.open;
            var h = response.high;
            var l = response.low;
            var c = response.close;

            callback({t,o,h,l,c});

    })
    .catch(function(error) {
        console.log(error);
        callback(null, error);
    });
}

fetchOHLC(yUrl, function(response, error){
    if (response == null) {
        console.log(error);
    } else {
        var fetchData = response;
        alert(fetchData);
    }
});

A: If you came here because you dropped "how to make javascript fetch synchronous" into a search engine:
That doesn't make much sense. Performing network operations is not something which requires CPU work, thus blocking it during a fetch(...) makes little sense. Instead, properly work with asynchrony as shown in the duplicate linked above.

In case you really need a synchronous request (you don't), use the deprecated XMLHttpRequest synchronous variant, to quote MDN:

Note: Starting with Gecko 30.0 (Firefox 30.0 / Thunderbird 30.0 / SeaMonkey 2.27), Blink 39.0, and Edge 13, synchronous requests on the main thread have been deprecated due to their negative impact on the user experience.

const request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open('GET', '/bar/foo.txt', false);  // `false` makes the request synchronous
request.send(null);

You can find more information on MDN.


What is behavioural interviewing, why is it used and how should I answer behavioural interview questions?
Questions are asked to establish various core competencies relevant to the role, such as teamwork, creativity and innovation, decision making ability, business awareness or conflict resolution. The interviewer is looking for examples of past behaviour that demonstrate these competencies.
You should answer behavioural questions with one detailed and specific example that demonstrates your proven skills and ability to successfully perform the particular competency – this means that as you conduct your job search in Singapore, you need to prepare your evidence in advance!
To do this, we suggest you firstly gather as much information about the role as you can to determine the competencies required for success in the job. Then review your past experiences and select examples that demonstrate these competencies. Consider past results, situations you handled well and ways you have contributed to the success of the business.
did. For example, gave your colleague examples of how you improved your own performance. Finally, tell them what happened as a result of your actions. For example, performance improved 35 percent.
It's best to use an anecdote with a positive outcome, but if this isn't possible explain what you learnt from the situation and how you would do it differently next time.

10 Million Downloads and an Update for Lara Croft Relic Run
Earlier this week Lara Croft Relic Run passed a major milestone: 10 million downloads across all platforms. To celebrate, the mobile adventure-runner received a content update, which includes a revamped interface, new game modes, and the much-anticipated Mountain Pass area.
Lara Croft Relic Run updated level menu. Screenshot courtesy of Raider Daze.
Here's a quick rundown of the new features:
Structured levels – Instead of two major locations with endlessly repeating scenery, each area is now broken down into 40 smaller levels of increasing difficulty. Levels alternate between relic finding and other challenges, such as score/coin collecting, killing enemies, collecting gems, and so on. Endless running is still an option, though. Once you've completed a level, return to the main menu, tap the infinity icon at the bottom left corner of the screen and go, go, go!
Upgrades tied to advancement – In the original game, most weapons and other upgrades were solely dependent on the number of coins or gems you were able to collect. Play enough, even in the first area, and you would be able to unlock most of the goodies. In the updated game, upgrades are linked to level progression.
Mountain Pass area – Upon beating level 80, players unlock this icy location featuring new enemies like spiders and yeti, a new vehicle: the snowmobile, and a new unlockable weapon: the minigun.
Clue counter and ability to save clues – In Relic Run's original incarnation, players collected clues during each run in order to unlock relics. This is still the main way to advance, but now the clue meter clearly indicates the number of clues you've found and how many are needed in order to unlock the next relic. (This is not shown in the screenshots below but can be seen here.) Also, if you fail a run before unlocking the next relic, a new feature allows you to save your clues. You must spend gems to do so, but it may be worthwhile in the more difficult later levels.
Revamped in-game purchases – There are a few new things to buy, and more of the upgrades require gems to unlock. On the plus side, achievements are now rewarded with gems, and there seem to be more gems scattered through the levels. Still, I've heard many players complaining that it's difficult to advance in the later parts of the game without buying gems.
Overall I like most of these changes, and I'm looking forward to exploring the Mountain Pass. Unfortunately, after installing the update, the game no longer runs on my phone. I hope this will be fixed eventually. I had to wait a few months beyond the initial release before my device was supported. Most players I've spoken with have found the transition trouble-free, and were able to keep their accumulated progress, unlocked items, achievements, and in-game purchases following the update.
Just to recap, Lara Croft Relic Run is free but includes optional in-app purchases. It's available for iOS and Android. There is also a Windows Phone version, but it has not yet received the update.
If you don't own a device that can run the game, it is possible to play on PC or Mac using the Bluestacks Android emulator.

Useful article, thank you for sharing the article!!!
Website bloggiaidap247.com và website blogcothebanchuabiet.com giúp bạn giải đáp mọi thắc mắc.


The multidisciplinary research and education project Environmental Waste Management (EWMA) has since 2010 focused on questions related to the expanding petroleum- and mineral industry in the Arctic region. The work of EWMA was in 2013 further strengthened by the BARCUT project (Barents Sea Drill Cuttings Research Initiative), focusing on local impact of drill cuttings in the Barents Sea. The two projects have had a parallel focus on research questions raised by the industry itself or scientists. The research have been organised into two main priority areas – effects of environmental pollution and the actions that are to be put in place for preventing and reducing the effects of potential environmental impacts. Building competence and conducting relevant research within these fields have been a priority in order to establish EWMA as a key centre for knowledge, research and education in the High North, and in areas relevant for new and expanding industrial activities in cold climates. In addition, EWMA have payed special attention towards the establishment and further development of educational programmes that fall within these priority areas. This side event presents scientific outcome and results from these two projects, co-funded by the Norwegian Research Council and ENI Norge AS.

Home Markets Defense & Cyber Security
Apple is siding with users in the fight against data exploitation
Online data protection is becoming an ever increasingly important aspect. Most sites bombard users with cookies, apps collect user data, and third parties get involved in things they shouldn't. Apps are known to gather customer data to sell it to third parties, often without the consent of users. Naturally, people are concerned about their privacy.
Rightfully so, it seems that having the ability to keep one's data is a decent thing to ask for. Many tech companies would disagree, and the motivating factor is money. User data is worth a pretty penny in the world of advertising. In terms of marketing research, user data is pure gold. Many companies, therefore, turn a blind eye to the ethical approach due to that fact. However, Apple is holding a strong stance in favor of its users.
Apple has been quite vocal in its stance against that. The company has recently unveiled its new operating system, and it features solid solutions for users to protect their privacy. It has become a strong mark that now distinguishes Apple from Android and Windows products.
Granted, Apple is not the only one that has begun its crusade against the misuse of user data. Many sites go to varying lengths to save their users from being exploited. There are top 10 slots sites that use software solutions like encryption to ensure a reliable data protection method. Encrypting information means that the data gets transformed into code or symbols so that it cannot get deciphered by any party that manages to get a hold of it. Apple indeed made a determined effort to give its users extended privacy options that go beyond the basics. Amongst other things, a special type of data encryption is one of the solutions Apple employs.
Apple's strong stance on privacy
In 2014, Apple CEO Tim Cook published an open letter regarding the key data protection principles as it applies to the company. Since then, Apple began to add features to its iPhones, which restricted apps from accessing personal data. The quest for privacy also became a heavy marketing angle. Recently, Apple released its newest operating systems, macOS Monterey and iOS 15. It cemented the fact that Apple is taking its privacy strategy more seriously than ever. Both Oss are loaded with privacy-focused features.
New privacy features in iOS15/MacOS Monterey
1. App privacy report
Now, the iPhone settings will tell you what servers an app connects to. It provides full transparency about what is going on by telling you which apps collect data and when they send it to third parties. Moreover, it also tells users how many times a given app uses the camera and microphone. This information is incredibly pertinent when it comes to identifying examples of data protection breaches.
2. No tracking pixels
The new update features a refresh on the Mail app. In the new operating system app, Apple runs images through specialized proxy servers to defeat tracking pixels. If the pixels go undetected, they can potentially provide information to third parties regarding when and where you open your emails.
3. Hide my email
To protect your email, Apple came up with an ingenious workaround. iCloud's subscribers will have the option to make and use anonymous emails. These are also known as burner addresses in the Mail app. It is a perfect solution whenever you need to use your address, but you don't want to risk getting spammed in the aftermath. That is a smart and modern example of data protection in action.
4. Private relay
Another great feature defining data-protection-made-easy is the Private Relay. All iCloud subscribers will gain the option to use iCloud+. The updated version will enable you to use the new Private Relay feature, which will work similarly to a VPN, even though it isn't one technically. When a user has the Private Relay feature enabled, his web data will pass through an Apple server, as well as a proxy server. That will render it impossible for third parties to identify a user's info.
According to Tim Cook, privacy is a fundamental human right. The new update to Apple's operating systems shows that in action like never before. The company's new privacy features display a firm example of fighting back against the exploitation of users. It puts a software-based stop to the data-hungry advertisers with little remorse for infringing upon human decency. Apple is a beloved, leading tech company that is setting an example for the future of the web. Hopefully, others will take to stepping into the same ethical lane. What do you think about Apple's new privacy features? Have you got any complaints of data protection infringements you experienced in the past? We would love to know your opinions in the comments below!
