Q: How to Map Godaddy Domain with FIrebase Hosted Application Firebase Error imageGodaddy DNS ControlPannel Image
I am trying to set a domain name I purchased from godaddy for an application hosted in Firebase with its custom Domain.
Following I tried But this didn't helped me
Firebase hosting not validating TXT record in GoDaddy
And tried the godaddy DNS Config without 'www.' and also tried the @ but its not allowing to add @  and submit it in godaddy.

A: Godaddy allows @ as host name in txt record. you should enter @ in hostname and google-site verification code in txt value. or you can check https://in.godaddy.com/help/add-a-txt-record-19232 or you can call in customer care of godaddy and ask them to add this record in DNS in technical help. They will do

A: The terminology between google site verification and the GoDaddy DNS records are slightly confusing, they use different words though they mean the same. Basically you need TXT and CNAME records to be updated in DNS provider or domain hosting provider records, here in GoDaddy DNS records.

Updating TXT record alone works, CNAME label and destination update as well important, especially when you are editing the records post initial authentication.

An on-line newsletter. Written, published, copyrighted and totally disavowed by Psychospy. Direct from the "UFO Capital," Rachel, Nevada.
Acting at the request of the anonymous Groom Lake security force, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department on Friday afternoon confiscated the equipment and videotape of an ABC News film crew after the crew was seen with a video camera at the Freedom Ridge viewpoint.
While the unacknowledged Groom Lake air base has become a popular subject for many news photographers, the ABC crew claims they took no such pictures. They say that, on the advice of the network's legal counsel, they never pointed their camera in the direction of the secret base. The news report was to focus on the ironies of military secrecy, including the logical inconsistencies of the photography restriction. Crew members also say they filmed only on public land and never crossed the nearby military boundary.
After driving down from the ridge in two four-wheel-drive vehicles, the four-man crew and their two escorts were stopped and detained by two deputies of the Lincoln County Sheriff's Department. Also present were two men wearing camouflage fatigues with no name tags or insignia. These men, presumably members of the perimeter security force, declined to identify themselves, but the vehicles they were driving bore U.S. Government plates.
Members of the film crew told the deputies they took no footage of the base, but apparently their word was not believed. Based on the statements of an unnamed security guard who claimed to have seen the ABC camera pointed at the base, the deputies obtained a search-and-seizure warrant by radio, then confiscated all equipment and tapes of the crew and their escorts. Equipment seized included a professional video camera, sound mixing equipment, tape recorders, microphones, batteries, cables, a tripod, scanner radios, walkie-talkies and video and audio tapes. The total value of the equipment was estimated to exceed $65,000.
According to local activists, this is the first time that a search warrant has been served on visitors to the Groom Lake perimeter.
Immediately following the seizure, the equipment was taken inside the base perimeter and turned over to the anonymous private security force. The film crew was not informed of the equipment's final destination or if they would get it back. It is not clear why the tapes and equipment were turned over to the security personnel and not retained by the Sheriff's Department or the local justice court that issued the warrant. On public land, it is assumed that only the Sheriff's Department has jurisdiction, not the security personnel.
The ABC crew consisted of correspondent James Walker, producer Robert Haberl, cameraman Robert Jennings and sound technician Mel Barr. All are employed by ABC News and were on assignment for "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings." Accompanying the crew was government oversight activist Glenn Campbell, from whom radio equipment was seized. A sixth member of the party, aerospace historian Peter Merlin, was detained with the others but did not lose any equipment.
Members of the party were individually searched, as were their vehicles. After the equipment was seized, the six were allowed to leave the area. No one was arrested, and the group was detained for approximately two hours total.
The ABC crew and Mr. Campbell say they will fight the seizure.
In DR#4, the rescheduled trial date for four of seven accused trespassers was incorrectly reported. The rescheduled date is Apr. 13 (not Apr. 18). Even this date may be subject to revision owing to delays in obtaining subpoenas.
On Jan. 2, the seven Las Vegas residents were arrested at a guard house about one-half mile inside the military boundary, about 13 miles northeast of the secret Groom Lake base and about a mile northwest of the public Freedom Ridge viewpoint. [See DR#1.] Members of the group claim they crossed the border by accident while trying to find a well- publicized hiking trail to Freedom Ridge.
The group passed the border while driving on a maintained access road serving the Groom Lake base. The border point is marked by signs on either side of the road but no fence or gate. This stretch of unpaved road has been dubbed "Sucker's Alley" by experienced visitors because of the growing number of first-time tourists who have driven beyond the signs here and been arrested at the guard house just beyond. The border and signs are located where the road passes through a narrow ravine where there is limited warning time and no convenient place to turn around. Visitors who drive up to the guard house to ask for information are usually arrested immediately with no opportunity for excuse or explanation.
The group also claims that they passed a security patrol immediately after crossing the border and that the patrol made no attempt to stop them. They say an occupant of the vehicle waved to them in an apparently friendly manner, a gesture taken as an implied consent to proceed.
While three of the seven chose to plead "No Contest" at their arraignment and accept a fine, the four remaining defendants have maintained their innocence and rejected plea bargain offers by the District Attorney. The four say that although they did cross the line, the circumstances were confusing and they did not do so intentionally.
In the course of the arrest, cameras, telescopes and binoculars belonging to members of the group were seized by the anonymous security guards. Receipts were given for some of this equipment, but they were not signed. The equipment has not yet been returned.
Rachel resident Glenn Campbell is continuing to seek the return of four rolls of photographic film taken from him on June 16, 1993. Like the ABC crew in the more recent incident, Campbell was seen with a camera on public land near the military border but claims he took no pictures of restricted installations. Campbell says that he was near the border north of Groom Lake where the base itself was not visible.
Campbell says his film includes shots of a military helicopter deliberately buzzing him and a companion at a height of 25-30 feet about the ground. He says that under Air Force regulations, aircraft are supposed to maintain an altitude of 500 feet above any person, building or vehicle. Campbell characterizes the encounter as a deliberate assault in which the helicopter downwash was used to bombard the pair with flying debris. Campbell says that the film contains proof of both the action and the intent.
Although Campbell voluntarily gave his film to a Sheriff's deputy when asked to so, he says that it was with the explicit understanding that the film would be developed and returned to him. Campbell says that, despite numerous demands and inquiries, the film has not been returned. He says he has not been given any notice that the film is being forfeited either, and he has not be charged with any crime. Campbell contends that his property has been confiscated without due process.
"I did not photograph any installation," Campbell says. "You couldn't even see anything from that area, so I figured it was safe to let the Sheriff examine my film. I know now that I was foolish, but I thought I would get it back, especially when the pictures contained clear evidence of Air Force wrongdoing. I thought the Sheriff would retain control of the film and the federal authorities wouldn't be so dumb as to try to cover up their own crimes. I was wrong."
In a letter to Mr. Campbell, the District Attorney confirmed that the film was turned over to the Air Force but gave no further specifics. Mr. Campbell's lawyer, Steve Hofer, has formerly requested information from the District Attorney on where this film is being held and to which party a suit should be directed. Campbell says he will pursue the matter in court if no progress is made.
In an unrelated case, no word has been received on the status of the two rolls of film taken from a photographer working for the New York Times Magazine after he was seen on Freedom Ridge with a camera on March 23 [DR#6] It remains unclear at the writing whether the rolls relinquished actually contained any pictures or whether the photographer or his employer will choose to pursue the case.

Thousands of jobs at risk as Cineworld set to close all UK sites
Cinema chain Cineworld is set to close its UK sites in the coming weeks. The closures come as the release of the latest James Bond film was further delayed from November to spring 2021, the PA news agency understands.
"Unviable"
As first reported in the Sunday Times, bosses will write to prime minister Boris Johnson and culture secretary Oliver Dowden. They will reportedly tell the prime minister and culture secretary that cinema has become "unviable" as studios keep delaying blockbuster releases.
The closure of its 128 sites across the country will put up to 5,500 jobs at risk.
In July, the government promised a package of more than £1.5bn to help the arts and culture industries forced to shut down earlier this year as a result of the pandemic. Cineworld reopened most of its cinemas in July when lockdown measures were eased across the country.
Daniel Craig's final outing as spy James Bond will not hit big screens until April 2021, it was announced on 2 October. No Time To Die was originally scheduled for release in April 2020, but was first pushed back to November as a result of the pandemic.
A statement on the film's official Twitter account said:
We understand the delay will be disappointing to our fans but we now look forward to sharing NO TIME TO DIE next year.
MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, today announced the release of NO TIME TO DIE, the 25th film in the James Bond series, will be delayed until 2 April 2021 in order to be seen by a worldwide theatrical audience. pic.twitter.com/NqHlU24Ho3

TOWARDS AN AESTHETIC OF CYCLES ? Renate Puvogel, Catalog "UNTIL TODAY" Hatje Cantz, ISBN:978-3-7757-2608-5
The photographs from the new series Indoor, and still more so those from Salta, Seoul, and Sar, lack almost any characteristic elements; the differences between the photographs are limited to a few inconspicuous details. The photographs of the four series all have in common that they were taken in airports and offer views from the arrivals hall of the surrounding countryside. They show that Peters is not afraid to take photographs through reflective window panes— a difficult obstacle for most amateur photographers. Peters's photographs, however, show no signs of light refraction or blurring of focus; the result is that the grid formed by the window frames becomes especially fascinating, dominating the foreground and standing out against the shiny floor. These grid structures form the coordinates of the image, both structuring it and stripping it of its realism, thereby bringing it closer to abstraction. Beyond these common elements, each series has its own specific qualities. Thus, for example, in Sar 1 and Sar 2 Peters put together two photographs he had taken separately, because the departure lounges of the two airports showed similar architectural details (pp. 156, 157). Since both the photographs with the upright and the tilting window frames are surrounded by a white edge, the glazing bars look natural and seem almost to float in space.
The series Salta 1–4 is based on individual photographs all taken in the same place, which Peters barely had to change (pp. 154, 155). He was inspired by the extraordinary constellation of colors and the linear layering of planes. The blue sky, the green lawn, the beige runway, and the wine-red surface of the floor fit into the black window frames' system of coordinates in a way that produces an almost objectless image. The composition makes one think immediately of the artists of Constructivism or De Stijl (despite the fact that Piet Mondrian, for example, generally avoided green). In this series it becomes particularly clear that although an individual photograph can work by itself, a series is a better way of developing a basic idea. Astonishingly, Peters's method of serial production comes close to meeting the definition of a cycle; a cycle being distinguished by the fact that its individual works revolve around a central theme, and its whole is more than the sum of its parts.
In the series Seoul, finally, Peters brings to a culmination the idea of photography that overcomes the factual object (pp. 158, 159). Here, too, he took photographs through window panes set in brown frames, but in so doing he brought the distant landscape up against the window frame, turning it into an abstract grid pattern that cannot be located in space. The pattern extends from the left- and right-hand sides of the image, where its more intense colors
actually cause it to achieve a higher degree of realism. The result is that it looks like it might continue beyond the picture frame. Three-dimensional form, depth, or space are entirely eliminated. On the other hand, the clever trick of smuggling photographs of cherry blossoms into the picture lends the entire composition a special charm. And it does so despite the fact that the blossoms seem to evaporate into indistinct, formless white surfaces. They offer, though, an additional indication that these works captured in tones of beige brown are to be understood as symbolizing the Asiatic world.
The Far East can be described as the thematic and intellectual focal point of this series. However, the photographs cannot be considered part of a cyclical composition because their subject is only illuminated from one perspective. For all that, the question may be raised in conclusion of whether Peters's work when taken as a whole is more or less moving towards a principle of cyclical development.
PHOTOGRAPHY'S NEW VISIBILITY ON TWO GROUPS OF WORKS BY RALF PETERS, Klaus Honnef, Catalog "UNTIL TODAY" Hatje Cantz, ISBN:978-3-7757-2608-5
This impression is confirmed by the series of images that Peters has made, which offer a view out of an imaginary window onto the world outside. This is especially the case if you compare it with the portraits of the twelve "different" women. For it immediately becomes clear that they are related. To put it another way: the one group of works complements the other. The way they interrelate broadens the field of what might potentially become visible. The comparison becomes still more revealing in view of the fact that
some of the photographs taken from windows, such as those in the series Seoul, have been digitally altered, while the three "original photographs" from the series Indoor (pp. 101–103) show "almost empty" images that according to Peters "were dreamt up on the computer." What are we looking at? Is it a reflection of reality or a mere computer simulation?
Even this question can't be answered easily. Seoul is made up of a group of three, almost square pictures (90 × 84 cm) with an identical format and structure (pp. 158, 159). Each has an internal frame running along the top and the bottom, which is cut away along the left- and right-hand sides. The cut edges are strengthened by two adjacent rising verticals in the interior part of the picture. The pictures show a kind of window within a window. In their upper half, a narrow horizontal line cuts across the entire surface of the picture. Behind it, a grille-like structure fans out. It is more clearly visible in the middle than in the lower part. Beyond this inner frame, the grille continues in a different color. In some places it is fully intact, in others only partly, and in others it is painted over in a translucent white, as if someone had whitewashed it. It is all pure illusion. No painter has put his hand to it. Even the delicate rendering of the internal frame and the rendered brackets at the edge of each picture, as well as the beams on the brackets in the central picture of the triptych, have been produced by an elaborate computer operation. Whether consciously or unconsciously, Peters is quoting here the shining "luster" of painting, which Ernst Gombrich believes originated with Apelles, the outstanding painter of Antiquity. Given this, is it really pure coincidence that no original painting of his has survived? For in Peters's work it is only these lustrous outlines of forms rendered in light and shade that establish the character of the window-picture and at least suggest three-dimensionality.
Is this a reflection of reality or a computer simulation? It is equally neither and both. All that can be seen is what is to be seen, or more precisely, what may emerge on closer inspection, very much in the sense of Frank Stella's "what you see is what you see." Unlike Stella, though, Peters is not interested in producing a self-referential visual object, but rather in producing visibility itself. There is nothing more natural than this. Diane Arbus once noted in her diary that people don't see things because they're visible; rather the other way round, they are visible because people see them. In this short sentence, the great photographer summarized what western art has had its eye on, so to speak, since breaking free of the spell of religion: to make things visible. In the final analysis, the visible world is the product of images.
In the meantime, the visual mass media have been using polished and clichéd images to cover over again what art had mapped out in the realm of the visible. Critical art has reacted to this trashing of the visual by reflecting clearly on the conditions of visual representation. More specifically, its subject is now visibility itself, and no longer the representation of a particular subject. Instead of a subject that isn't there at all but is merely a symbol referring to "reality," what Peters's "photographic" pictures show are the possibilities for producing visibility. Just as the eyes of the subjects of Different Persons scarcely allow the viewer to gaze into their souls, so the window in the triptych Seoul offers no more than a glimpse of the South Korean capital. Instead, what one catches sight of are potential images of people and things, whose relation to the world beyond images is extremely fragile and uncertain. At the most, they are able to preserve traces of reality.
As a result, Peters shifts the focus of his apparently perfect pictures from photography's natural tendency to produce symbols to an illustration of the actual language of images. The opposition between analog and digital photography resolves itself independently of their respective technical wherewithal. The result is an apparent tautology: each of the artist's pictures conveys first and foremost its own nature as an image; in other words, that it is an image. And it is this that forms the critical aspect of Peters's work.
Renate Puvogel. Catalog, "Fotoarbeiten 1998 - 2010", Gallery Andres Thalmann, Zürich /Switzerland , ISBN: 978-3-9523571-8-7
Ralf Peters does not consider himself a card-holding photographer but emphatically claims to use his photographs as mere material; photography is the medium whereby he hopes to make meaningful statements on reality and its medial presentation. To achieve this, Peters challenges the viewer to be his partner – as an inquisitive and critically perceptive observer. It is only because the strange beauty and sometimes disturbing impenetrability of Peters' images exert a mesmerising fascination that significance is revealed. Many of his photographs already carry a high atmospheric charge due to the extraordinary lighting of the subjects before the artist proceeds to digitally manipulate them according to his intentions. He makes optimum use of available capacities by arranging the photographs in formal or thematic series. This enables the viewer to make comparisons to understand each photograph's individual essence while distilling an overarching message. The titles of the series vary, as do those of individual photographs, but all prove to be ingenious; the images in the Tankstellen (Petrol Stations) series respond to the interchangeable hotel complexes of Mix; individual titles are proper names or colours.
The Skyline series unites photographs in an extreme vertical format that gives centre stage to a strikingly neutral sky. While scenarios such as the "house islands" in Seehaus (Lakehouse) and Haus-Fluss (House River) have been reduced to a minimum, they are all the more fascinating for this reduction. Be they encircled by the waters of a lake, estuary or the sea, the islands in these beautiful images also illustrate the threat from
rising sea levels due to global warming.
If full daylight exposes these objects, others are governed by a dark, sombre mood. In his Night / Colours series, an extremely bright light is thrown on objects, causing them to emerge in almost three-dimensional plasticity, dominating the image while its surroundings are in complete darkness. No light source being in evidence, light even seems to emanate from inside some of these objects. The bright Rad (Wheel), however, rises like a magic sign out of the vast blackness, which enhances the impression of miraculous luminosity. It is an effect that Peters has put to most powerful use in Brücke (Bridge) where a combination of strong lights and long frontal exposure reveals the sublime sculptural quality of what is actually a rather plain bridge. Despite the enhancement and sublimination of mundane and often banal subjects, Peters' photographs never lose touch with reality. In this instance, the pathos is undercut by graffiti that deface the bridge. The commonplace and the extraordinary
are siblings in a medial construction of reality that largely informs our perception of the world.
Be their predominant colour yellow, blue, red or green, the Tankstellen (Petrol Stations) resemble each other in terms of anonymous functionality, a reminder that they have long been in the hands of just a few companies. The colours of petrol stations are intended to dazzle and attract customers. It is a strategy not usually applied to tractors. Nonetheless, in Maschinen (Machinery), the light reflected in the vast glass panes enhances the impact of the garages and heavy machinery lined up in a narrow frieze. As in most of Peters' night-views, unusually large expanses of darkness intensify the mystery of the lighted parts.

California Assembly to consider executive salary bill
July 19, 2007 September 5, 2018 Jenny Redden
CALIFORNIA — A bill in the state legislature aimed at increasing the transparency of specified public university executives' compensation is another step closer to the governor's desk.
An Assembly committee this week unanimously passed SB 190, known as the Higher Education Governance Accountability Act.
Authored by Sen. Leland Yee (D-San Francisco), the measure requires all compensation packages for executives at the University of California and California State University systems to be voted on in open sessions.
It defines "executives" as the chancellor of the California State University, presidents of individual campuses, vice chancellors, treasurers or assistant treasurers, general counsel, and trustees' secretaries.
The bill also closes a loophole in the current open-meetings law that allows advisory committees to discuss compensation in closed meetings.
"We have one final vote before the governor can end the culture of secrecy at UC and CSU," Yee said in a statement from his office. "SB 190 will bring much-needed sunshine to executive compensation discussions, provide members of the media the democratic access they deserve and help restore the public's trust."
The bill follows a series of audits and lawsuits at the public institutions after they failed to get public approval from the regents or trustees for compensation packages and some top executives were paid more than the figure released to the public.
Officials at the University of California have consistently opposed the bill, saying they have already taken measures to increase transparency, according to media reports.
In a letter mailed to Yee last year, university officials said "debating in public … will not make the university an attractive place for talented people to come," presumably because desirable candidates would not want to see their compensation discussed in public, according to an April article in The Daily Bruin, the student newspaper at the University of California at Los Angeles.
But the California Newspaper Publishers Association wrote a letter in February to support the bill, saying that it would "bring a new level of sunshine and accountability to the compensation decisions of the University of California Regents and the California State University Board of Trustees for their high-level public employees."
Yee also introduced legislation that was signed into law by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in August 2006 explicitly prohibiting censorship of college student newspapers.
The state Senate unanimously passed the measure in April. The bill now awaits a vote by the full Assembly before being sent to Gov. Schwarzenegger (R).

Q: Meaning of divergent limit? $$\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} {\frac{1}{\sin x}}$$

*

*What is its value?

*What is the meaning of limit diverges?

*Can I say here that the limit does not exist?

A: It does not converge to any value, it diverges by oscillation.
1/sin(x)=csc(x) and the csc keeps cyclically jumping from -inf -> -1 -> -inf -> inf -> 1 -> inf -> -inf ->...... and never converges to anything. This is like asking what is the limit of the sequence 1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1..... as the index tends to infinity.

Frozen taxes, (some of) Northern Powerhouse Rail and thousands more GPs - five key pledges in the Conservative manifesto
Plus, some that were missing
Boris Johnson launching his manifesto in Telford (Image: Getty Images)
The Tories this afternoon unusually chose a Sunday to launch their election manifesto, under the title 'get Brexit done - unleash Britain's potential'.
Speaking in the West Midlands, a key battleground in this election that also hosted Labour's manifesto launch on Thursday , Boris Johnson promised tax freezes and cuts, several NHS giveaways and 20,000 new cops by 2024.
After stepping onto the stage to chants of 'Boris! Boris! Boris!' from Tory faithful, the Prime Minister said he would 'unite our amazing country', 'levelling up' spending on public services and opportunities, telling his audience: "We can do all these things without raising income tax, VAT or National Insurance contributions."
His speech was littered with jokes about Jeremy Corbyn, describing what he claimed would be a 'coalition' between Labour and the Scottish National Party as 'Nightmare on Downing Street', while saying of the opposition leader's position on Brexit: "He used to be indecisive, but now he's not so sure."
Presenting the Tory platform as a choice between 'out-and-out retrograde' economic policies and 'sensible economic Conservatism', he said Britain could be the 'greatest place on earth', before concluding: "Let's go for sensible moderate but tax cutting, one nation Conservative government, and take this country forward."
So here are five of the most significant pledges in the document ...and three that were missing.
(Image: Copyright Unknown)
Tax: A triple lock; an end to the tampon tax
One of many promises to be heavily briefed out prior to the manifesto's official launch, the Tories are promising to freeze income tax, National Insurance and VAT for the duration of the Parliament.
Boris Johnson is also promising to raise the threshold for NI payments to £9,500 next year, effectively amounting to a tax cut for millions of working households, with the aim of 'ultimately' getting it up to £12,500.
Unlike under Labour, corporation tax would not be put up, while a range of new business rates discounts would be introduced alongside some specific tax cuts, such as an end to VAT on tampons.
In fact Labour's pledge to raise more than £80bn in new taxation is starkly at odds with the Tory promise to cut nearly £4bn in taxation - which the Tories argue they can do, at the same time as spending nearly £3bn more on public services, because they say the economy is going to grow enough to make up that gap.
The Prime Minister will seek to walk that line: an end to austerity, but not an end to being a low-tax, low-spend party.
Cost: £3.64bn
Brexit: deal back in front of MPs before Christmas
A slightly easier promise to summarise, given that it doesn't involve wading through lines and lines of detail searching for spending commitment costs.
The Tories - as per their headline commitment to 'get Brexit done' - are promising to bring Boris Johnson's Brexit deal back before Parliament by Christmas.
"If we elect a majority of Conservative MPs to Parliament, we will start putting our deal through Parliament before Christmas and we will leave the European Union in January," says the manifesto.
The document also promises not to extend the 'implementation period' - in other words the window during which the UK is hammering out its final trading relationship with the EU - beyond December 2020.
Cost: The Conservatives regard leaving the EU as economically beneficial, but haven't put a figure on that in their manifesto

Crime: 20,000 more police officers by 2024
This is a promise Boris Johnson has been repeating ever since becoming Prime Minister back in July, so won't come as any surprise to people who have been following politics of late. It was also spelt out in the Chancellor's spending round in September.
The Tory manifesto formalises that pledge to recruit these new cops, a number that would effectively replace those lost under austerity since 2010.
It doesn't say how those officers will be distributed around the country.
However, the Chancellor - who identified the Home Office, which is in charge of policing, for the biggest departmental spending increase in his one-year spending round - said in September that the full number would be recruited by 2023, with 6.000 of those in 2020.
The initial hiring process was to see an initial 2,000 recruited by next March.
A question mark hangs over how exactly this will be funded going forward, however, since only the funding for the first year is referenced in the manifesto costings document.
A large chunk of policing funding comes via a precept on council tax bills - which areas like Greater Manchester have hiked in recent years to boost depleted officer numbers.
In other words: just because our income tax is going to be frozen, it doesn't mean our council tax will be.
Cost: Unclear: the Chancellor has already allocated £750m to recruit 6,000 new cops next year, but subsequent annual funding rises are not identified in the manifesto
Transport: some of Northern Powerhouse Rail, £500m a year for potholes
The manifesto sort-of promises to build Northern Powerhouse Rail, the proposed network of new east-west links across the north, although in reality only provides a commitment to the Manchester-Leeds section - as per Boris Johnson's speech here shortly after entering Number 10.
Beyond that, it says simply that the government will 'then focus on Liverpool, Tees Valley, Hull, Sheffield and Newcastle'.
No price tag is put on the Manchester to Leeds section, or indeed any of the project. Northern leaders want a £39bn version of the network to be built, but the manifesto makes no promises on that, any more than the government has done previously.
There would be more specific infrastructure commitments to follow, it says, in the Chancellor's first budget.
The document contains, somewhat unsurprisingly, only a holding position on HS2 (see below), but it does promise a 'simpler, more effective rail system' instead of the current franchising model. To some extent that is also a holding position, although it does show a direction of travel.
It also proposes £2bn over four years to fill in potholes, which have become an increasingly visible problem - and a growing bugbear for voters - as councils have cut back road maintenance under austerity.
The Tories are also setting up a £500m fund to look at reopening some of the rail links closed by Dr Beeching more than 50 years ago, although the small print states half of this will come from cash already allocated to Network Rail over the next five years for transport upgrades - suggesting something else may well have to be bumped.
There is also a brief mention of bus services. The Tories say they will create 'superbus networks with lower fares', although little other detail is provided.
Cost: by 2024, £4.46bn

NHS: Free hospital parking, some new hospitals, thousands more nurses
The manifesto contains a number of significant headline promises on the NHS.
There would be 50,000 more nurses hired by 2024, it says. When broken down, says the small print, 14,000 of those would be new students on training programmes; 12,500 would be hired from abroad; 5,000 through an expanded apprenticeship scheme and 18,500 would be 'retained' - in other words they wouldn't be new - or encouraged back into the profession.
The nursing bursary that was scrapped under the previous government, worth up to £8,000 a year to students, would be restored.
A number of previously-announced promises are in there too, including 6,000 extra GPs and 6,000 extra primary care staff, while the document rules out putting the NHS on the table in any future trade deal after Brexit - a response to one of Labour's key attack lines.
The manifesto promises to scrap hospital parking charges for people with disabilities, those with frequent appointments or parents of sick children.
It says the Tories have 'begun work' on building 40 new hospitals, which it then says will happen over the next ten years. As with big-ticket transport pledges such as Northern Powerhouse Rail, you can expect that promise to realistically run into a second Parliament.
Most of those 40 hospitals have so far only been allocated 'seed funding' for the creation of business cases, such as North Manchester General. No further spending commitments on this are outlined in the manifesto, although in September the government said its programme would eventually total £12.4bn.
Cost: £34bn in day-to-day funding rises by 2024; £5.7bn on new nurses and GPs by 2024; hospital-building cost not committed
(Image: Birmingham Mail)
And a few that weren't…
HS2, given how politically delicate it is for the Conservatives - opposed by many of their voters, strongly demanded by northern leaders and businesses - is mentioned only in terms of a kind of holding position.
"HS2 is a great ambition, but will now cost at least £81 billion and will not reach Leeds or Manchester until as late as 2040," it says.
"We will consider the findings of the Oakervee review into costs and timings and work with leaders of the Midlands and the North to decide the optimal outcome."
Social care is mentioned, but again, it's a bit of a holding position.
The Tories are promising to spend an extra £1bn on social care, but this had already been committed by the government a few months ago - and local government will doubtless point out that this goes nowhere near filling the national £3.6bn funding gap.
In fact the main Conservative promise is to 'urgently seek a cross-party consensus' on fixing the system, which is barely a policy.
On local government, although there are promises in there to roll out devolution across England - following a forthcoming devolution white paper - there is nothing on if and how the government proposes to make up the huge shortfall in funding across the country, which is helping to drive some of the biggest problems currently being experienced on the ground.

Oil is a vehicle, used during cooking to transfer heat or after cooking to impart flavor (the drizzle). But no oil can do both. That's why some oils undergo commercial processing to remove flavorful, fragrant sediments. This clarifies the oil and raises the smoke point (the temperature at which an oil stops delivering heat and starts breaking down) so that the oil can get hot enough to cook food without burning. Hence this simple rule: The clearer an oil, the higher its smoke point and the more neutral its taste. At left are some common oils and how to wield them.

User Privacy Vs…
User Privacy Vs Law Enforcement: Is There A Middle Ground?
NEW DELHI: The new IT rules that took effect earlier this week has pitted the government against social media platforms such as Twitter and Whatsapp who say it could compromise data encryption and, as an extension, user privacy. The government insists it's committed to the right to privacy of its citizens but at the same time it has a duty to maintain law & order and national security. Barring Twitter, most platforms have complied with the new rules so far, at least partially. To get a sense of the new rules and the controversy surrounding them, we spoke to Kazim Rizvi, founding director of policy think-tank 'The Dialogue'.
Is there a need to regulate the internet?
Over the last few years, we have seen a rise in fake news and problematic content such as child sexual abuse material proliferating on social media platforms. It has been getting increasingly difficult for the government to regulate the space and provide a good ecosystem for opinions. There's a need to regulate the internet space and governments globally have been trying to do that. The challenge is how to regulate the internet, bring in greater transparency from the platforms while at the same time ensure the security and privacy of the user.
Will the new IT rules help?
The new rules have a lot of good intentions when it comes to regulating the space but at the same time there is the need to fine-tune some of the aspects to make sure that we don't overregulate the space or curb free speech. On the platform side, we need timely and regular reporting, we need better accountability. The rules also talk about appeal mechanisms. So if your content is taken down, you can ask why it was taken down.
What are the contentious issues?
There are certain concerns such as the takedown timeline of 24 to 36 hours, criminal liability of employees as well as traceability. And non-compliance of the provisions would lead to loss of safe harbour of the platforms. I think there are certain aspects that need to be addressed. Before these rules, if an intermediary would come to know about problematic content, it was bound to take it down through a government order or a court order. Now the rules are proactively asking companies to filter content and identify problematic content. And if they don't do that, they may lose their safe harbour status. From a reactive approach, we are moving towards a proactive approach. The challenges of this would be that platforms would start overcompensating and remove content first before analysing whether the appeal was legitimate or not.
Is there a way around the problems?
We do need to regulate the internet space; we need greater accountability and transparency from platforms. And I feel we need a system in place that has adequate checks and balances so that even where there are additional requirements of regulation, we do not end up curbing free speech.
The best way to deal with problematic content on encrypted platforms would be to collect and analyse metadata (data of data). That has proved to be sufficient in many cases and can help solve investigations and drive law enforcement. The government is talking to platforms so that this goes through. It can also get access to metadata around problematic content through targeted metadata analysis, without having to break encryption or without having to do traceability on encrypted platforms. Traceability could undermine encryption.
What are the issues with traceability?
One challenge with traceability is that when you open the backdoor of a system, you make it vulnerable. It becomes vulnerable to Chinese hackers, it becomes vulnerable to cyber criminals; a lot of spoofing can also be done. Let's say, if problematic content is being shared on a platform, smart cyber criminals can spoof ids of different people and that could lead to wrongful liability or wrongful assumption of the fact that Person A shared this when it was actually Person B and somebody spoofed into Person A mischievously. We need to be a little careful about this in terms of the cyber security challenges of traceability.
Is it possible to trace the origin of problematic content without compromising encryption?
The government has the right to know who started the mischief. It's a legitimate demand. Platforms need to do more when it comes to collaborating with the Government of India as well as globally. They need to do a lot more when it comes to sharing metadata analysis and the Government of India can do a lot more in terms of its own capacity, of improving its forensic and technical systems to make sure that with the least amount of data at hand, it can actually have a trail of a criminal or the profile of a criminal, which is required to pinpoint the right person behind a mischievous act.
What's the way forward?
There are methods that are privacy-focused, less intrusive and can help the government meet its own target without violating the privacy of users. National security is also about the security of individual users.
A data protection law will give the government a lot of teeth to ensure privacy of users. The government is working on that. In 2018, it came up with a draft; in 2019 it came up with another draft which is now in Parliament. If we have a data protection authority under the ambit of the law, it will be in a better position to coordinate with various sectoral regulators, audit policies of platforms and come up with better privacy-respecting standard operating procedures for platforms. At this stage, the government doesn't have a regulator which can actually analyse processing infrastructure of any platform.

Local Couple Decides Their Stimulus Check Will Do the Most Good Serving Others
By David Bjorkgren
Published: 11:50 pm EDT March 29, 2021 Updated: 12:24 pm EDT March 30, 2021
There are no strings attached to the $1,400 relief check that started arriving for many Americans last week.
Havertown couple Larry Passmore and Maureen O'Ryan are donating theirs to charity, reports Gray Hall for 6ABC.
"Our feeling was that this money should really go to help address the crying needs that are exacerbated by the pandemic," said Passmore.
The couple said they didn't really need the extra money and wanted it to be put to good use.
"People losing jobs, needing housing assistance, etcetera, etcetera. It was just a tough time for so many people that we really felt compelled to do something to help, and this was the way to do," said O'Ryan.
They made donations to organizations that address homelessness and community food needs.
"There are a lot of people who need it, and obviously, if you need it, you absolutely should be keeping it. But if you don't, I think it is an idea that perhaps could spread," said O'Ryan.
Donating it to your community can stimulate the economy, experts said.
The checks go out to individuals earning under $80,000 and couples with incomes below $160,000.

What is a Building Department?
Building departments provide contractors and property owners with information about construction codes and certificates of occupancy. They also help create zoning laws and manage land use. NECA contractors work with these departments to get permits for construction projects. Local building departments conduct inspections to ensure that building codes, safety rules, and occupancy limits are met.
They help enforce building-related laws and monitor building code violations. When building departments become involved in enforcing safety regulations, the cited commercial property owners or residential are required to make the mandated changes to their properties. Building departments help improve property values through better planning of real estate developments. They're also responsible for reviewing, approving or denying all permits for new construction and building additions, as well as keep and regularly update property maps that show neighborhoods as well as commercial and residential development zones.

Approval of the minutes of 2 August 2007
LA ICANN meeting
ASO workshop
ASO AC face to face meeting
Status of global policy proposals
Speakers at the IGF
Teleconference schedule
The Chair called the meeting to order at 22:14 UTC, noting the presence of a quorum.
The Chair reviewed the agenda and called for any comments.
The following items were added to AOB:
During this discussion LL raised the question of what would happen if an RIR were to cease operation.
RP stated that this issue has been under discussion since 2001.
LL withdrew the agenda item.
HG moved the following motion: "The ASO AC approves the Minutes of 2 August 2007 as written." AB seconded the motion. There were no objections or comments.
Action #0709-01:
Secretariat to publish minutes of 2 August 2007.
The Chair noted that the ASO AC had a Wednesday morning timeslot, and that there was a requirement to review the two proposals sent to the mailing list. It was noted that many items were compatible, so a decision should be made on the most appropriate items to discuss.
HG suggested that the meeting use Raul's proposal for a 2.5 hour workshop consisting of:
Projections and status of IPv4 consumption, with Geoff Huston as a speaker.
Different views on the transition from IPv4 to Ipv6, via a five-person panel with ISPCP constituency, and a question and answer session.
Policy status overview discussion, to be presented by an AC member.
The policy development process in each region, to extend on the overview discussion in the third session. Suggested policy proposals to be discussed include:
2007-16: IPv4 Soft Landing
prop-046: IPv4 countdown policy proposal
LAC-2007-07: Global Policy for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 address space in the Regional Internet Registry system
prop-050: IPv4 address transfers
The Chair noted that the fourth session would be followed by a question and answer session.
The Chair noted that the session specifics could be discussed on the mailing list. He then asked if there were any questions or comments.
RP asked why two of the four proposals listed for session 4 were regional, while the other two were global. It was asked why two regional proposals would be singled out.
The Chair noted that he was just communicating Raul's suggested content. He stated it would be in the ASO's interest to focus on global policies. However, he suggested that it may also be of benefit to address the IPv4 exhaustion issue, even if the policies were regional.
HPH asked if the regional policies were regional in nature or just not yet global.
RP responded they were regional in nature. He went on to say that the depletion of the IANA free pool is a matter of global policy, but that the depletion of the RIR free pool is a separate discussion. He noted that even after exhaustion the RIRs had specialised policies that would cater for critical infrastructure like Internet exchange points.
The Chair asked RP if he wanted to propose that only global policies be included in this presentation, and asked for any comments.
AB stated that he agreed with RP, noting that the two regional policies were only on the list due to an error.
HG said that as the Chair was not going to be present in LA, a co-chair would need to be arranged to take over organising the workshop.
There was some discussion about who would be present and who would not be present in LA.
HG suggested that the more pressing issue was that speakers were still yet to be invited. He said he was concerned that if this did not happen soon potential speakers may have parallel agendas or not attend at all.
The Chair said he would not be in LA, but he could make these arrangements electronically.
It was agreed that the issue of which co-chair would be responsible for organising the workshop could be reviewed in a couple of weeks.
HG noted that a letter would need to be sent to ISPCP to invite them to participate in the workshop, and also to attend a special joint meeting to discuss the content.
The Chair noted that if the group could agree on Raul's proposal then work can be done to polish the agenda over the next ten days, and it can be sent to the speakers and the ISPCP to co-ordinate.
Co-chairs to decide who will be responsible for organising the LA workshop, and advise on mailing list.
ASO AC volunteers to provide input via mailing list on Raul's workshop proposal and polish the agenda over the next ten days (by 22 September 2007).
The Chair thanked VN for compiling a list of attendees and urged anyone who has not yet confirmed to please advise.
It was noted that the observers who are attending also needed to be confirmed to ensure there will be enough space.
RP asked if the day and time for the meetings was confirmed, as he has other commitments around that time.
It was clarified that the public workshop was set for Wednesday morning, and the face to face was yet to be decided. A time and date will be negotiated with ICANN. This can be confirmed with ICANN when numbers are firm.
There was discussion whether the meeting would be formal or informal. It was noted that it would be ideal to have an official meeting; however, for this quorum and an agenda would be required. A motion was moved to slate this meeting as the replacement for the official 7 November ASO AC meeting, with a firm time and date. This motion was supported, but was later withdrawn as it became apparent that there was not enough information available to confirm a date and time.
It was agreed that this matter could be discussed further at the October meeting.
Action #0709-04
Secretariat to provide ASO AC with available timeslots to hold face to face meeting in LA.
After receiving advice from Secretariat, ASO AC to confirm preferred timeslot for face to face meeting in LA and notify Secretariat.
The Chair noted there were currently three global policy proposals going through the policy development process in various RIRs:
Global policy for the allocation of the remaining IPv4 address space
IANA policy for allocation of ASN blocks to RIRs
IPv4 countdown policy proposal
RP noted that the IPv4 countdown policy proposal has not yet been proposed in the ARIN region. He said that when the Advisory Council took it up they said it should be global, but nobody had proposed it in that way.
TH said that this proposal was intended to be global.
The Chair asked how the policy development process was going for the IPv4 countdown proposal.
TH responded that it had not yet reached consensus in any RIR community, but elements of the proposal had achieved consensus at APNIC 24.
The next proposal discussed was the IANA policy for allocation of ASN blocks to RIRs. LV said that it has been generally accepted in all regions, but has not yet completed the policy development process.
There was some discussion about the definition of 'accepted'. RP noted that the proposal has been accepted as a formal proposal by the ARIN Advisory Council, but he would not give it any other status.
There was no further discussion on global policy status.
HG noted that Markus Kummer is expecting to receive proposals for the IGF, and that speakers from different backgrounds and different parts of the world were required. He asked for other ASO AC members to propose names.
HG stated that he thought there would be a strong discussion about critical resources, and that care would need to be taken to secure speakers who know what is going on to avoid politics and keep the discussion on a technical level.
The Chair suggested that the ASO could assist the NRO EC to provide names.
There was some discussion about the fact that the ICANN meeting will be two weeks before Rio, and that it could be regarded as a preview to the IGF. There are not yet finalised plans with GAC, but it is possible the discussion will follow on from previous talks about IPv4 and IPv6.
ASO AC to propose IGF speaker names on the mailing list, confirm final choices and notify Secretariat.
Secretariat to provide ASO AC proposed IGF speaker names to NRO EC.
There was some discussion about the teleconference schedule. It was noted that KH had met with the Secretariat recently; and they had discussed the fact that teleconference timings were currently inconvenient for the Secretariat, and that AfriNIC, with 3am starts, would be even more inconvenienced next year.
There was some discussion about systems where staffing was not required. Websites where optimal times could be checked were also discussed.
It was noted that this issue has come up many times and has never been resolved.
It was suggested that AfriNIC make a concrete proposal to discuss this issue in future.
AfriNIC to propose 2008 teleconference schedule if they deem it necessary.
The Chair asked if there were any further questions, comments, or matters to discuss. None were forthcoming.
HG moved to adjourn the meeting.
HPH seconded the motion.
There were no objections. The meeting was adjourned.
The meeting ended at 23:10 UTC.

Both comic and nostalgic, Burman's film ponders reality itself while offering a careful consideration of memories and how they are created. Leonardo is a successful playwright married to Martha. Now that their children are grown--and indifferent to their parents--Leonardo is forced to deal with the strange realities of their monotonous life together. On the romantic streets of Buenos Aires he struggles to find joy in the mundane as he looks for new meaning in his life. As Leonardo and Martha neurotically struggle to find value in the mysteries of marriage and infidelity, the film remains both playful and profound as it explores the ups and downs of keeping faith, finding compromise and maintaining trust.


An annual salary gives you a dollar figure for the entire year but does not break down the amount into an hourly wage. This information can be used to arm you for an upcoming job review or to evaluate the merits of a job offer. Breaking down your salary requires you to factor in vacation time, official holidays and floating holidays to obtain an accurate figure.
Factor in all your work hours to calculate hourly wage.
Calculate the exact number of days you work during a 12-month period. This figure only includes days you are actually in the office, so deduct vacation days and official holidays to arrive at the correct figure. For example, out of a total of 260 available work days, you may only have worked 240 days or fewer after deducting vacation and holidays.
Calculate the number of hours you worked during a 12-month period by multiplying the hours you worked per day by the number of days you worked during the year. For example, if you worked eight hours per day and 220 days in the year, your total number of hours worked during the year would be "220 x 8 = 1,760."
Divide your annual salary figure by your total hours worked during the year to obtain an accurate measure of your hourly wage. For example, if your annual salary is $50,000 and your annual hours worked is 1,760, your hourly wage would be calculated as "50,000/1,760 = $28.40."

Ask an MD: How Do I Choose CBD? What's the Best?
Published by Dr. Matt Montee at April 1, 2019
With little to no regulation on CBD oil, finding the best one is lie finding a needle in a hay stack! Image Credit: By thanasus on Shutterstock
Finding the CBD dose that's right for you can be challenging. The question isn't just, "how much should I take?" You also have to consider what kind of CBD oil fits your needs and preferences.
One of the most important factors when choosing a CBD oil is its cannabinoid content. Cannabinoids are naturally-occuring chemicals in the cannabis plant — the most well-known are THC (which has psychoactive properties) and CBD (which does not). Like all cannabinoids, both THC and CBD have a wide range of therapeutic effects. Currently, these are the only ones that have been researched to any significant extent, but scientists are beginning to broaden their inquiries into others, such as THCV.
Depending on the types of cannabinoids they contain, CBD oils can be divided into three main categories: full spectrum, broad spectrum (sometimes known as "partial spectrum), and CBD isolate, which is also known as "pure CBD."
To determine which is best for you, it's important to understand how cannabinoids work together.
Cannabinoids and the Entourage Effect
Studies have shown that CBD works well on its own as an isolate, but it seems to work better when the other cannabinoids are present. A full spectrum extract generally contains several other phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other constituents from the plant. The synergy of these compounds regulates different actions in the body by way of the endocannabinoid system — a network of receptors throughout the body that controls functions like mood, appetite, and sleep.
Even though THC and CBD can have similar effects, such as anti-inflammatory actions, each accomplishes them in their own way. When the two of them work together, the result is a more diverse and robust response.
The endocannabinoid system is dynamic and complex and still actively being researched. However, studies have shown that a 1:1 ratio of CBD to THC is more effective at treating things like PTSD and anxiety than THC alone. This is called "the entourage effect" — in short, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. The ratio of CBD to THC appears to be the determining factor, since as these are the two most prominent compounds in the plant, they generally show up in higher ratios than the other cannabinoids.
To ensure the entourage effect, look for a full spectrum oil (which will contain trace amounts of THC) or broad-spectrum oil (which will contain no THC). These extracts will have a wide range of cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and other compounds found in the plant. Isolates will generally be labeled as "pure CBD" or "CBD isolate". It's also important to look for other ingredients such as flavorings and preservatives — the simplest formulations are generally higher quality products. Since there is not much regulation in the industry at this time, it's best to avoid any additives.
If you are using a hemp-based CBD, it's also important to know the country of origin and growing practices. As CBD is not yet approved by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA), there is no organic certification available. However, many companies in the US are providing third-party audits and reviews to ensure clean and organic growing practices.
