If you picked 1234 for a cashpoint PIN, you're not alone…
The perils of using a poor-quality password for an email account, online bank account or shopping service are well-known, but what about the PINs used for cashpoints and smartphones?

[tl:gallery size=450×336]
A researcher in the US set out to find the least commonly used four-digit PIN based on the 3.4 million that have been leaked by security breaches over the years.
Every single one of the 10,000 possible combinations of four digits (0000, 0001, 0002 up to 9999) was found in the data, which allowed some interesting analysis to be performed.
The result was a top-20 table of most popular PINs and, perhaps unsurprisingly, the most popular sequence turned out to be "1234" — it made up nearly 11% of the 3.4 million PINs used.
In other words, anyone trying their luck with a found or stolen cashpoint card stands a one in ten chance of getting it to work in cash machine by entering "1234".
Next most popular PINs are the almost as obvious "1111" (6%), followed by and "0000" (2%).
In total, the top 20 most popular pins accounted for over 25% of the 3.4 million PINs used for the research.

% Frequency
Other interesting findings to come out of the research were that people seemed to prefer even numbers over odd and that the seemingly random "2580" was surprisingly popular, in 22nd place.
Surprising, that is, until you realise that these are the four digits than run down the middle of a mobile phone keypad.
The researcher also compiled a top 20 list of the least popular PINs, with "8068" coming in last (10,000th) place.
If you're thinking about changing your four-digit PINs in the light of this information though, it's probably best not to now that everyone else knows about it…

This has been a winter for the record books where I live. Snow. Freezing Cold. Repeat.
I confess, this has not made me crave salads. It has, in too many instances, crave chocolate and red wine.
Sometimes a girl needs to eat some vegetables.
How could I bring my desire for comfort food to some fresh greens?
Ranch Dressing! How to make it Welcoming Kitchen-friendly was the question. I needed to make a ranch dressing that is vegan, gluten-free, allergen-free and that includes soy-free.
You might be asking ... Can you really have a creamy, rich ranch dressing without dairy?
I had a jar of Soy-free Vegenaise that the folks from Follow Your Heart wanted me to try. Its cool, creamy deliciousness makes a great vegan mayonnaise alternative. That seemed a good starting point. Mix in some of my favorite creamy ingredient -- non-dairy yogurt -- and I just needed to add some herby goodness.
I added a dollop to a baked potato and mixed in some fresh baby spinach. I loved this lunch so much, I ate it for the next few days.
Store in sealed container for up to one week.
Disclosure: I received a jar of Soy-free Vegenaise from Follow Your Heart for review. All opinions are my own. I received no other compensation.


It is true that with the urge of people wanting to look smarter and younger the demand for cosmetic surgeries has grown steadily in India like many other countries. Yet with the rising demand there a huge number of beauty clinics which have mushroomed up in recent times. Many of them make high claims of providing all types of cosmetic procedures and treatments at the lowest rates. Unfortunately many of these clinics may not have qualified doctors to carry out such procedures. You too may be drawn to such advertisements that are made for getting cosmetic procedures done at these clinics, but you need to be careful while doing the same. If cosmetic surgery is not done there are many dangers which are associated with them. Let us look at some of them.
In order to get rid of facial wrinkles this is a very common types of procedure which is being used nowadays. But if the person is not qualified enough to do such treatments then there are instances when people went blind after the facial fillers were wrongly injected into a blood vessel. So you need to be careful on this front.
You would know that facial is almost a routine treatment used by most beauticians. However it is also being noted that chemical peels are sometimes being used by some to treat wrinkles caused by sun damage or ageing. However you must also take note of the fact that if this is applied incorrectly then it could also cause skin burn and led to permanent damage of the skin. This is why you must check out whether the person carrying out such procedures is qualified to do such treatments.
You might already be aware of this procedure. This is done to make the nose look more beautiful and is very popular amongst women who are in the age group of 25 to 35 years of age. It is done by using general or also local anesthesia. Risks if this procedure goes wrong is then there could be injuries or holes in the sputum, apart from this could also be skin problems and infection.

Malaysia reopens: Experience and Enjoy
&nbspMonday, April 4, 2022
Malaysia, another Asian country has opened its borders after Thailand and Philippines, for international travel, ending restrictions that have been in place since the Covid-19 pandemic began in 2020.
Among measures adopted by the authorities to facilitate the travel of non-Malaysian nationals to the country are the abolishing quarantine requirements for vaccinated travellers, with only a pre-departure test and a test within 24-hours of arriving in the country, reports the Chinese news agency.
There is already optimism that the move into the endemic phase will see economic recovery, especially for the country's hard hit tourist sector which has been largely closed off.
The Tourism, Arts and Culture Minister Nancy Shukri said that there are over 10,000 foreign travellers and Malaysians residing abroad were expected to arrive at airports nationwide on Friday and the Ministry is targeting over 2 million tourist arrivals within the year.
Malaysia attracted 4.3 million tourists in 2020 because of lockdowns following the pandemic, a sharp decline from the 26.1 million in 2019.
Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong noted that the influx of travellers moving across the bridge connecting Malaysia and Singapore, allowing families to reunite ahead of Ramadan, the Islamic fasting month, and Qingming, a traditional tomb-sweeping festival.
Enjoying in Malaysia
Qingming Festival
Qingming Festival, which is also known as Tomb Sweeping Day or, literally, 'Pure Brightness' Festival in English, is a traditional Chinese festival and an important day for most people (including the Han Chinese and some of China's 55 other ethnic minorities) to go and sweep tombs and commemorate their ancestors. On this day, tomb sweeping is one of the most important and popular activities to show respect to ancestors.

Raw Milk and Delicious Cheese: Healthy Living in Cotacachi
What does healthy living in Cotacachi, Ecuador have to do with raw milk producers in the United States being harassed by the FDA? Nothing if you think that raw milk is unfit for human consumption. If, however, you think unpasteurized milk is rich in nutritious enzymes and good for your health, you may be happy to know that both raw cow and goat milk can be bought hassle-free in Ecuador, plus raw cheese and raw fresh cream.
One morning while exploring Cotacachi, Gary and I came upon a woman going house-to-house leading a goat. She'd knock on the door and if anyone wanted milk, she'd milk the goat right there on the spot. Bingo—home delivery.
The nanny goat was very accommodating and customers came to the door with their cups to receive their milk.
We tried a warm cup and it was delicious.
Even though Gary was raised on a farm in Minnesota and drank raw milk as a child, we had become persuaded, or perhaps brainwashed by the media into thinking that simple, pure, natural milk and milk products are either not good enough without additives or are even dangerous for human consumption. We'd come to this conclusion over the years without giving it much conscious thought and as a result, neither of us drank much milk, certainly not raw.
No, never. I'd shudder at the thought of all those germs propagating in un-pasteurized milk. Yuck!
But I had also developed the niggling, suspicious feeling that milk that was pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized, homogenized, vitaminized, de-fatted, calcium-added, enriched, new and improved, had been tinkered with so much that it probably was dead and devoid of anything naturally healthy. More and more evidence points to the fact that the more we tinker with, add, delete, or enrich a product, the less nutritious and healthy it is.
My teeth are soft and prone to cavities yet I drank plenty of milk as a child. It was brought from the mainland to Oahu where we lived because milk wasn't readily available there. If this calcium-enriched milk was so good for me, why are my teeth so bad?
My father died at 90 with all his teeth intact. I wasn't so lucky. I am beginning to suspect it was because he drank fresh, whole milk as a child and I drank something that can't even really be called milk.
In Duluth at a weekend food cooperative, I discovered the most incredibly delicious artesanal cheese. The "secret" was that it was made from unpasteurized raw organic milk. Not so secret, actually, since this is the way our parents ate cheese and drank milk.
In fact, Gary remembers life as a boy on the farm that involved drinking milk warm from the cow. The cows' teats were never too scrupulously cleaned before milking, either. And my goodness, he seems to have suffered no ill effects from the milk.
But the farmers making this raw organic cheese had to practically go underground to get it made and sold. And they absolutely couldn't sell raw milk. Oh no, not anything that contaminated.
They finally resorted to selling their cheeses on line and couldn't keep up with the demand for it. They explained to me the epiphany they had that led to what is practically a crusade for them to get nutritious raw cheese into the hungry stomachs of the public.
The farmer family told us that milk inspectors would came around to regularly test their milk to make sure it didn't have a certain enzyme in it. While doing their own research into what constitutes healthy milk, the farmers made a startling discovery!
Can you guess? The very enzyme that the inspectors wanted removed from the milk was the most healthful and beneficial enzyme in the milk. This shocked and alarmed them so thoroughly that they decided to start selling products with the enzyme intact, because of all the health benefits for humans, especially children.
With so many restrictions against selling raw milk or cheese, they opted to sell their cheeses via the internet, with great success.
Skip to Ecuador, 2008: Gary and I visit a charming dairy where they make organic cheeses from organic raw milk. And the cheese...oh, the cheese! Indescribably delectable. Pungent, smooth, aged to perfection.
Down in a stone underground vault, some of them seasoned with wine, great big perfect rounds of cheese are patiently aged for years, held at a constant temperature of 12 degrees C. This small dairy and cheese factory is what I consider the wave of the future, with a nod to the past.
Precision-made, state-of-the-art, highly-efficient steel and copper Swiss machinery is used. Yet there is such a strong, pervasive sense of peacefulness among the animals that I thought I was back in the 1950's on my grandpa's farm.
This small operation proves that we can use high-tech means to produce our food, while maintaining the low-tech ways that work best for the animals involved. It's a bovine paradise.
I usually feel a wave of sadness when I see vacant-eyed cows standing in filthy, smelly stalls or pens, treated as nothing more than a piece of the machinery necessary to produce a product for sale. They are very unhappy creatures to say the least.
These cows and newborn calves on the dairy farm in Ecuador, resting in their nests of green grass, were happy animals, contentedly munching greens grown especially for them. They are Jersey cows, which Gary says produce the most butterfat, better for cheese.
The Ecuadorian dairy owners had a dream to have a Swiss-style dairy and make fine cheeses. They found their cheese maestro on a trip to Switzerland.
Click here for more about the cheese operation near Cotacachi.
In the U.S. the raw milk situation has gotten weird. In one case, Ohio and Kentucky police, Ohio Department of Agriculture agents, the Public Health Department and the U.S. FDA confiscated bottles of raw milk being sold to members of a milk coop and shut the business down. The co-owner of the dairy had been passing out the bottles legally to the shareholders in the milk co-op.
He was pulled into 3 different police vehicles, shouted at and harassed repeatedly until he collapsed from the stress and was hospitalized. He was unable to milk his cows twice a day, so shareholders pitched in to milk the cows for him, while others helped with bottling and distribution.
Kentucky officials didn't press charges against Gary Oaks, the co-owner, but Ohio charged him with selling raw milk illegally and fined him. In addition, he has legal fees and medical bills over $60,000. Oaks pleaded no contest to charges that he violated state dairy licensing and labeling laws rather than fight it.
Selling raw milk is illegal in Ohio and Kentucky and 23 other states, although cow owners can consume the raw milk from their own cows. The members of the co-op were doing just that—drinking milk from the cows they partly owned.
The shareholders were able to present a unified front and bond into a much tighter group as a result. They still help out at the dairy and car pool to pick up their milk since Oaks cannot cross state lines to deliver it.
One member of the co-op had been prescribed a health regimen that included raw, un-pasteurized, un-homogenized milk. Many health experts now consider raw milk much healthier than pasteurized milk, which destroys beneficial bacteria and enzymes.

Senior Ukrainian Military Intelligence Officer Assassinated in Car Bomb; Massive Cyber Attacks on Ukraine
Col. Maxim Shapoval, a senior military intelligence officer, was killed in a car bomb in Kiev June 27, 2017. Photo by Reuters
Ukraine Day 1226: LIVE UPDATES BELOW. A Ukrainian military intelligence officer was assassinated in a car bomb in Kiev today, and his driver was killed.
Yesterday's coverage of the Ukraine conflict can be found here.
An Invasion By Any Other Name: The Kremlin's Dirty War in Ukraine
Col. Maxim Shapoval
Col. Maxim Shapoval, senior Ukrainian military intelligence (GUR) official was killed in a car bomb in Kiev today along with his driver, AP reported. Two passers-by were also slightly injured in the blast. As AP reported:
Kiev regional police chief Andriy Kryshchenko tells 112 television channel the unidentified explosive device was either attached to the bottom of the car or planted inside,.
Investigators are treating the explosion as a terror attack but did not immediately say who was to blame.
Ukrainska Pravda cited intelligence sources that said Shapoval led a special division involved in combat in the Donbass, including operations on the occupied territories. They believe he was murdered for his role in reconnaissance, and that the time was picked deliberately, on the eve of the anniversary of his unit's founding. Said a source (translation by The Interpreter):
"This is revenge. And the other side likely stands behind it. Who? The warlords of ORDLO [certain districts of Donetsk and Lugansk Regions], likely the puppets are not capable of such boldness. Most likely it's a question of their leaders."
Anatoliy Matios, head of the military prosecutor's office said he believed there was "a Russian trail" in the murder. He said Shapoval was the commander of the first group to liberate the Donetsk Airport in 2014, after separatists seized it. Matios also said he opposed "online investigation" and that all the members of the investigation team would undergo lie-detector tests to prevent leaks to the media.
The assassination of Col. Shapoval follows a similar murder in Mariupol in March of Col. Oleksandr Kharaberyushn, an officer of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU).
A former Russian MP, Denis Voronenkov who had fled to Ukraine fearing reprisals from Russian intelligence last October was also assassinated in Kiev in March.
And a prominent journalist, Pavel Sheremet, who fled first Belarus then Russia and complained that he and his partner, editor of Ukrainska Pravda, were being followed, was also murdered in a car bomb.
A number of leaders of the Russia-backed separatists have also been assassinated, including Arseny Pavlov, whose nom de guerre was "Motorola," and Mikhail Tolstykh, known as "Givi". Sources theorized that since separatists believe Kiev is behind these murders, the assassination of Shapoval was revenge. Yet others believe the separatists were killed by Russian intelligence.
Ukraine was also struck by an "unprecedented" ransomware cyberattack, the first in a string of such attacks worldwide.
Yaroslav Trakalo, head of the National Police, said 22 institutions in Ukraine had been affected by the virus. Experts disagree whether the virus that hit Ukraine is the same "Petya" virus found in European institutions today.
The airport and trains were working again after a halt, but the work of the Cabinet of Ministers was "paralyzed"
On the front line, there were no casualties reported today but there were 10 attacks by Russia-backed forces, Ukrainska Prava reported.
After two days of relative quiet, militants were more active on the Maritime line and attacked Ukrainian positions in Gnutovo and Pavlopol as well as Maryinka with grenade-launchers, machine guns and small arms.
On the Donetsk line, heavy machine guns were fired on Avdeyevka and 120-mm mortars as well as an anti-aircraft system were used to attack Luganskoye at the Svetlodarsk Bulge. Kamenka was also struck with 82-mortars, grenade-launchers and small arms.
The situation had stabilized on the Lugansk line, except for one attack on the village of Zhyoltoye with 82-mm mortars.

House Rules Le Ratelier takes special requests – add in the next step!
Le Ratelier accepts these cards and reserves the right to temporarily hold an amount prior to arrival.
The bedroom seems to have been last decorated more than 20 years ago . It is very old . The bathroom was hazardous and not good for anyone with limited mobility . The toilet was pushed hard up against the bath so you needed to push the shower screen inwards to be able to climb in . The bath sides were very high but there was no handle to assist you. The room had no air conditioning, but they did supply a fan. Opening the windows was not a good idea due to the amount of insects wanting to join you in your room. The hotel uses plug in insect killer to try to stop them but it means you are breathing the chemicals all night. The breakfast was minimal. Tea/coffee, orange juice, croissant and some bread and jam.
Upgrade of property long overdue.
Old and dirty rooms, with too much insects. Bad value for money.
Breakfast was a joke! 8€ for a croissant, a coffee, an orange juice and some burnt toast!
With better maintenance of the grounds and upgrades (repairs, AC) to the property, this could be a fabulous place with at least a 3-star rating.


If you are a writer, publisher, web site designer, site owner and if you own, claim to own, use or want to use intellectual property on the Internet, then you must have at least a short but functional knowledge of how the United States trademark, copyright and other laws, as well as various state laws, may apply to you. There is an intimate relationship among your rights and the rights of others. At any moment, you may be both a user of other's protected materials and a creator of your own. Both they and you deserve to have your intellectual property rights protected.
In addition to the more traditional logos and designs that are the subject of trademark law, domain names are now also subject to being trademarked if they otherwise qualify as marks. Indeed, the rules for what may and may not qualify for trademark status are not all that different except that the Internet presents additional issues.
But before discussing the issue of how one can obtain a trademark in a domain name, it might be helpful to first explain how the Internet impacts upon regular, real world marks. If a mark in the hard copy world is also being used in relation to goods or services provided via the Internet, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) policy is that any registration for such Internet use is to be filed under the same classifications as apply to the use of the mark in the hard copy world. In other words, the registration is classified under the same categories as the subject matter of the goods or services. How the applications are filled in vary with the subject matter of the goods or services, but in essence the use on the Internet is another version of the underlying, real world uses. So when applying for a mark that is used in both the real world and on the Internet, the classifications would be the same but the manner of use would have to be expanded to include use via the Internet.
On the other hand, if a mark is used solely in relationship to the Internet and there is no corresponding use in the hard copy world, such as a domain name, then it appears that a separate registration classification may be available to offer further protection to the mark as it is being used on the Internet. However, the use of a domain name must not simply be as an address or location but must be used to identify the goods or services of the person or firm claiming the mark which goods or services are provided via the Internet. Thus, the mark must be used not only as a domain name but in advertising, marketing materials on the Internet and perhaps in the hard copy world as well. Thus, the domain name must become an integral part of the goods or services so provided in order for it to be the subject of a registration. This of course is in keeping with the purpose of marks, which is to identify the goods and services of a particular source.
So, for example, since many publishers want to have domain names that track the name of their company, those publishers should plan on marketing their company name in the form of the domain name via the Internet as well as including the domain name in all hard copy advertising and marketing materials as well, including their books.
Moreover, since publishers may run into conflicts with the names of other publishers, it is very wise for those publishers, before choosing a name for their company, to do a trademark search in addition to perhaps checking books in print or other more traditional sources. A thorough search performed by a search firm will also search Internet domain names to see if there are others who are using the name, if for another company purpose.
Additionally, one of the key factors in determining whether any mark is registerable is the distinctiveness of the mark. Thus, in contemplating a domain name, whether as a publisher, site owner, web designer on behalf of a site owner or otherwise, the more distinctive the domain name the more chance there is that it will qualify as a mark. Even though someone has a domain name, if it is merely descriptive, non-unique and otherwise merely provides information as opposed to identification, the less chance there will be to claim it as a mark.
Conversely, to the extent that you have obtained a unique domain name but have not obtained a federal registration for it with the USPTO, you may find yourself at the wrong end of an infringement claim. The holder of a mark in the real world may notify you that your domain infringes upon their use of their mark in that your mark has the potential of confusing the public as to the origin of your web site and creates an implication that the mark's holder is somehow involved in or with your site.
The legal issues in this area are not all that different from those that would be involved in a real world trademark dispute. The claimant must show that your use of the domain and the site to which it points are likely to create the above confusion and/or, in certain instances of "famous" marks, dilute the value of their mark.
Additionally, you may be subject to a claim by a trademark holder that a domain that you have obtained, even if you are not using it, should belong to that holder. The general rule is that first to register owns a domain. However, under certain circumstances, the holder of a mark that was a registered mark before you obtained your domain may be able to prevent your use of that domain, at least on a temporary basis, until it is decided by a court whether or not you should be allowed to do business under that domain. That decision would of course be made on the basis of the above trademark law issues such as confusion in the minds of the public, dilution and so on. Pending that court determination or a settlement of the matter, if the situation fits the criteria established by Network Solutions, Inc., NSI may suspend your use of the domain and that action may be the de facto end of the matter even without a judicial determination.
There are many other issues that trademarks of all sorts present and this article is certainly not intended to be exhaustive of those issues. However, domain names are an area of Internet law that is rife with potential for litigation. By knowing your rights and obligations as both a trademark holder and domain name user, you may be able to avoid the expense of such litigation. Doing the research before making commitments to a name, mark and the like, may help you avoid unnecessary cost and trouble.

HANOI ROCKS Release New Single
Reunited Finnish rockers HANOI ROCKS have just issued a new single, "A Day Late, A Dollar Short". The song comes off the group's latest CD, "Twelve Shots On The Rocks", which was released earlier this year. In addition to the title track, the single also includes the tracks "Bad News" and "Moonlight Dance".
The single will be published at first in Finland, with the international release to follow later this summer.
HANOI ROCKS are due to film a "full-action" video for "A Day Late, A Dollar Short" shortly. The script for the video is based on singer Michael Monroe's "real life," according to the group's official web site. "[Michael] is always late, tardiness being the secret of his excellent condition. A select few of the world's best skaters ride in the video, for example Andrew Reynolds (a big time HANOI fan as well!). The story culminates on the large stage of Helsinki Ice Hall, where HANOI ROCKS ROCKS with full power from the bottom of their hearts in their dear homeland."

Arriving police spotted two injured men on the ground in a parking lot and one of them reached for a gun as the officers moved in to assist them.
Schrock says officers then opened fire. The man was killed although it was not immediately clear if it was from police gunfire.
The other man one the ground and another man in the parking lot were found dead.
In a search of the complex, police found yet another man dead in one apartment and a slain woman in another.

The Chair welcomed the group and explained that they were there to determine an application for a street trading consent. He proceeded to outline the procedure for the meeting and questioned whether Members had conducted a site visit to the location in question, 3 Members confirmed that they had visited the site and 2 stated that they knew the area well.
The Licensing Officer began by introducing the report, he explained that Mr Piotr Pawet Kazieczko had made an application for a street trading consent at a location on Redmarley Road, Cheltenham, the location was highlighted at Appendix A of the report. The Licensing Officer also distributed a google image of the location in question for Members. He stated that Mr Kazieczko had applied to sell hot and cold food and drinks from an Iveco vehicle, the timings he was proposing to trade were 7:30-15:30 Monday to Friday, 07:30 – 14:00 Saturday and he did not propose to trade on Sundays. Mr Kazieczko had produced a statement in support of his application which was included at section 4.1 of the Officer's report. The Licensing Officer explained that objections had been received from Cheltenham Borough Council's Townscape and Planning team, as well as a nearby resident. He confirmed that the application complies with Council policy as it is located outside of the town centre zone where restrictions apply, and as such, each application outside of the zone must be determined on its own merits.
· Refuse the application because Members feel that the location, size of unit and/ or type of goods are not suitable.
The Licensing Officer also confirmed that should they be minded to, the sub-committee could grant the application for shorter than a year although they were not permitted to grant for longer.
· The image of the van included within the report was the van that Mr Kazieczko was proposing to use to trade. Mr Kazieczko confirmed that it was.
· He believed that Mr Kazieczko was planning to park on the road with the serving hatch facing out on to the pavement.
One Member then raised a query regarding parking restrictions in the area, as they had recently visited the location and believed it had double yellow lines where Mr Kazieczko was proposing to trade. Following a short discussion regarding the parking restrictions, the Legal Officer confirmed that Gloucestershire 'Highways' County Council could grant him an exemption, although this would be unusual. If this did happen the legal officer reminded the sub-committee that this could set a precedent for future applications, if a trader was able to obtain an exemption from Gloucestershire Highways to allow a vehicle to be sited on double yellow lines.

El Comité de Seguridad General (Comité de sûreté générale en francés) es una institución de la Primera República francesa, encargada de dirigir la policía y la justicia revolucionarias.

Surgió a partir del Comité de Vigilancia de la Asamblea Nacional Legislativa creada el 25 de noviembre de 1791, y tomó el nombre de Comité de Seguridad General tras la jornada del 10 de agosto de 1792. Mantuvo sus funciones bajo el mandato de la Convención Nacional, al principio de manera provisional, y después de manera definitiva, tras ser reorganizado por el decreto del 2 de octubre de 1792.

La sede del Comité se encontraba en los locales del Hôtel de Brionne, hoy desaparecido.

Las funciones del Comité consistían en aplicar las medidas de la policía contra los sospechosos. Se convirtió en un verdadero "ministerio del Terror" tras la eliminación de los girondinos, el 2 de junio de 1793. El Comité investigaba a los sospechosos y enviaba a los inculpados al Tribunal Revolucionario. Aprobaba también las órdenes de arresto, que eran realizadas bajo la dirección de doce policías de París nombrados por la Comuna (Municipalidad).

Tras la caída de Robespierre, el 9 termidor del año II, el Comité de Seguridad General fue reorganizado. Con la llegada del Directorio, el Comité fue reemplazado por el Ministerio de la Policía General (ley del 2 de enero de 1796).

Miembros

El número de miembros del Comité se mostró notablemente durante su período de vigencia. Llegó a contar con 30 miembros con la estructura del 2 de octubre de 1792, y tuvo un mínimo de 9 miembros en septiembre de 1793. De germinal a termidor del año II, estuvo compuesto por los 12 miembros siguientes:

 Jean-Pierre-André Amar.
Joseph-Nicolas Barbeau du Barran.
 Moyse Bayle.
 Jacques-Louis David.
 Grégoire Jagot.
 Elie Lacoste.
 Louis-Charles de Lavicomterie.

Steve Roland Prefontaine (January 25, 1951 – May 30, 1975) (nicknamed Pre) was an American Olympic runner and considered perhaps the most loved American runner of all time, having inspired a running boom during the 1970s. Born and raised in Coos Bay, Oregon, Prefontaine was primarily a long distance runner, and at one point held the American record in every running event from the 2000 meters to the 10,000 meters. Prefontaine had one leg longer than the other (a common condition that does not affect running speed), and due to this he was told to give up on his dream of being the fastest runner on earth.
Here are some character traits from Steve Prefontaine's birth chart. This description is far from being comprehensive but it can shed light on his/her personality, which is still interesting for professional astrologers or astrology lovers.
In a matter of minutes, you can get at your email address your astrological portrait (approximately 32 pages), a much more comprehensive report than this portrait of Steve Prefontaine.
Steve Prefontaine, the diurnal South-western quadrant, consisting of the 7th, 8th and 9th houses, prevails in your chart: this sector brings about a thirst for communication and sometimes a need to take risks in your dealings with others. Relations are a factor of your evolution and your transformation, which you accept serenely. Indeed, what matters to you is the movement and the energy that link you to others and that make you gain more awareness. A kind of rebellion or a desire to get away from it all is rooted in you.
Cheers for communication and mobility, Steve Prefontaine! The predominance of Air signs in your chart favours and amplifies your taste for relations and for all kinds of short trips, whether real (travels) or symbolic (new ideas, mind speculations). You gain in flexibility and adaptability what you lose in self-assertion or in pragmatism.
The predominance of Water signs indicates high sensitivity and elevation through feelings, Steve Prefontaine. Your heart and your emotions are your driving forces, and you can't do anything on Earth if you don't feel a strong affective charge (as a matter of fact, the word "feeling" is essential in your psychology). You need to love in order to understand, and to feel in order to take action, which causes a certain vulnerability which you should fight against.
Your angular houses, namely, the 1st, 4th, 7th and 10th houses, are very emphasized in your chart, Steve Prefontaine: according to the Tradition, they are the strongest and most dynamic houses. Should the rest of your chart concur, angular houses suggest that you are an enterprising, energetic and assertive man. Indeed, angular houses are said to generate impulsions and to give a powerful and domineering personality.
The 1st, 7th and 12th houses are the most prominent ones in your birth chart. From the analysis of the most tenanted houses, the astrologer identifies your most significant fields or spheres of activity. They deal with what you are experiencing - or what you will be brought to experience one day - or they deal with your inner motivations.
After this paragraph about dominant planets, of Steve Prefontaine, here are the character traits that you must read more carefully than the previous texts since they are very specific: the texts about dominant planets only give background information about the personality and remain quite general: they emphasize or, on the contrary, mitigate different particularities or facets of a personality. A human being is a complex whole and only bodies of texts can attempt to successfully figure out all the finer points.
You need to concentrate on a subject, Steve Prefontaine, to deepen your research and to follow your reasoning through with persistence and determination. You are the very type of the thinker who needs time and isolation to meditate at length and allow his serious, methodical and rigorous mind to show its worth. Your feet are firmly planted on the ground and to get your attention, ideas must be followed by implementation, for instance as in the case of mathematics applied to physics. You focus on the essential and you look at the world around you with clear-sightedness. You are not very talkative and you act with caution. You may come across as cold and ambitious even though your comments are always sincere and practical. However, be careful not to isolate yourself and to appear as a lofty and intolerant person.
In love, you are more cerebral and friendly than really passionate, Steve Prefontaine. You are made for amorous friendships, for refined and light feelings where each partner retains one's freedom, and almost detachment, without getting really committed. Sometimes, you may be distant from, and indifferent to, love matters for a while, because you can be completely engrossed in original intellectual pursuits and the collective atmosphere which you are so fond of. You substitute a great number of friendly and light contacts to amorous relationships and it is fair to say that they satisfy you. To fall in love, you need spice and a partner who is original, who amazes you and whom you admire; under such conditions, you can freely express your feelings in an ambiance devoid of constraint, where freedom is perfectly respected and shared within the couple.
The ruler of the Ascendant, Steve Prefontaine, is Uranus. In the sign of Cancer, it enables you to grasp the surrounding ambience and impressions as if you were an emotional radar. Therefore, you may shift from enthusiasm to boredom or rejection, should you subtly sense that you are appreciated or spurned, even though your feelings are unfounded.
You express your energy in a vague and random manner, Steve Prefontaine. This is not a handicap, but it prevents you from reasonably planning your long-term actions. You are a bit whimsical and scattered, sometimes hyperactive and willing to devour obstacles with your big shark teeth, but often, you take the easy way out because of your desire for tranquillity. You loathe conflicts and your cleverness and your flexibility allow you to achieve your goals while shrewdly worming your way through difficulties. Your intuition and your imagination are the assets that compensate your lack of efficiency and discipline. You are much more successful when you work for a noble cause, usually a collective one, sometimes political or spiritual ones. On the sexual plane, you are whimsical and impossible to categorize. You are so changing and malleable that you can shift from one extreme to another, according to your partner's personality, because your adaptability and your flexibility are really strong.
This text is only an excerpt from of Steve Prefontaine's portrait. We hope that it will arouse your curiosity, and that it will prompt you to deepen your knowledge of astrology, as well as to visit and use the wide range of free applications at www.astrotheme.com.


The description is a little confused about the standards that allow this.
DDC is the standard that added I2C to the VGA connector. EDID is the format for a block of data a monitor makes available to the graphics card (over DDC) which describes their capabilities.
My reading of that is, Philips tried to get I2C adopted as a low-speed bus on the PC, for things like mice and keyboards. The same controller could have talked to the RTC chip on-board, and also led off-board for the KB, mouse, etc.
This was all a few years before the VESA DDC, which wasn't ever intended to support anything other than it's fitted purpose, a data channel between monitor and graphics card. Possibly with more uses than the single one it ended up with, which was a monitor telling a graphics card what speeds it (the monitor) supported.
It wasn't, strictly, a VGA standard, rather a VESA one. Which is a sort-of industry group that sprang up to try bodge the super-VGA standards together, that had emerged as hardware advanced past VGA, and with nobody in the place of IBM to be able to unilaterally set a complete new standard.
Very creative and all, but I'd be much more interested if they could get the USB ports on these boxes to talk to HID devices.

Sources: Priebus made 'big push' on health care vote but came up short
By Jim Acosta, CNN
Updated 1:05 PM EDT, Fri April 28, 2017
One moment from each of Trump's first days
Trump's 100th day in office falls on Saturday
Priebus was pushing to pass health care reform before then
White House chief of staff Reince Priebus made a "big push" for a vote in the House to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act over the last two weeks, sources close to the process told CNN.
The "100 Days" milestone approaching, Priebus was "aggressive" in his calls to Capitol Hill in search of converts on the controversial legislation, the sources said.
One source likened the chief of staff's efforts to securing a "100 Days" trophy for President Donald Trump, and a senior GOP congressional aide said "definitely Reince" when asked who has been the most aggressive in trying to whip up support for a vote.
"Priebus had really made the push to get the vote. To get this done. Just in terms of the political side – the political win," a House GOP aide said.
The failure to produce the votes necessary to repeal Obamacare before Trump hits 100 days in office is likely to be seen as a setback for Priebus, a narrative that is rejected by White House officials.
Race for health care votes is on, again
House Republican leaders pulled similar "repeal-and-replace" legislation last month after it failed to attract enough support, despite intense lobbying from the White House.
"Reince has been very aggressive," White House spokeswoman Lindsey Walters said about the chief of staff's outreach to lawmakers.
"It could happen this week. It could happen next week," Walters added, arguing there was never a concerted effort to pass the bill before what she called a "false deadline" of 100 days in office.
"These talks have produced results," Walters said.
The White House and House Republican leaders did make some progress over the last two weeks, winning the critical support of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, which announced its backing of the Obamacare repeal legislation after changes were made to the bill.
But those alterations alienated moderate GOP lawmakers, like Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pennsylvania.
"Too many people are going to be losing coverage," Dent said on CNN's "New Day."
A Republican operative close to much of the Pennsylvania GOP delegation complained the White House and the House Freedom Caucus were making matters worse by watering down the Affordable Care Act's protection of Americans with pre-existing conditions.
"If we (expletive) this up, we're all going to pay" in 2018, the operative said about the Obamacare repeal effort.
The latest push to replace the Affordable Care Act nearly led to a breakthrough in the House, sources close to the process said. But there was simply not enough support to risk yet another dramatic failure, a political disaster averted for the White House at the "100 days" mark.
"We're not going to do it until we have the votes," a key GOP aide said. "There are certain legislative realities that we have to deal with."
The White House's efforts on Capitol Hill to pass health care reform legislation has involved all the top players in Trump's White House, but the latest push saw Priebus as the most senior White House official leading the charge.
Vice President Mike Pence was on a foreign trip and Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney, who has been heavily involved in health care talks, shifted his sights to budget negotiations in recent weeks.
But a House GOP aide stressed that chief strategist Steve Bannon has also remained involved in trying to move the ball forward on health care, staying in close touch with the conservative wing on the Hill.
"Bannon pushed for this, too," the aide said.
But the sense on Capitol Hill was that the pressure this time around was not as intense as the White House's first attempt to pass health care, when House GOP leadership ended up pulling the bill from the floor.
"They did not really turn the screws. The pressure this week compared to the pressure the week the bill got pulled from the floor, I would not put it at the same level," the aide said.
CNN's Jeremy Diamond contributed to this report.

This episode, we discuss Coptic, the last descendant of thousands of years of Ancient Egyptian, now spoken mainly as a liturgical language in Coptic Christian churches in Egypt.

Fayyum is the same place that the Greeks called Crocodilopolis. I feel like Coptic's fate might be more secure if everyone just agreed to call it Crocodilopolitan rather than Coptic.
As for Bashmuric, Bashmur is a term for Nile delta region. Schaff 1883 says that it means "the girdled country" i.e. girdled by the Nile. I did find an entry for ⲙⲟⲩⲣ meaning gird, tie. Couldn't find anything for the first part of the name. When I first saw Bashmur, my first thought was to wonder if it has something to do with Turkic baş "head".
Re-listening to this episode, I once again came across William's statement or implication that individual languages may not always simplify over time, especially morphologically. I understand his reasoning for saying so, definitely after this episode, and I agree with him in a strict sense. However, I disagree in a broader sense. I believe that all languages do, in fact, always tend to simplify over time … COMMUNICATIVELY. It doesn't matter whether they gain extra sounds, or words, or roots, or affixes, or other things. Over time, languages will always make it easier for a culture and/or society to communicate fully with each other. No matter how complex the details are, the message is simple.

It's Officially Unofficially Fall...And That Means Halloween!
Gotta be honest, before going to school, I had never had anything waxed before. I tweezed my brows once a week, never thought about the lip hair much (it's blonde), shaved my underarms every other day and legs every day in summer, and the bikini, well, was more regularly groomed when dating someone. In winter, my shaving habits were lengthened, maybe a week between razor passes on the whole body. Waxing services are the bomb diggity though and I never realized how much so until attending ASI.

Two Out at WCPO in Cincinnati

ABC Affiliates | Anchors | Reporting | Revolving Door

Jasmine Minor and Timyka Artist have both left Cincinnati ABC affiliate WCPO in the space of a week.
On Sunday, Artist (pictured right) told viewers she no longer works as the anchor of the weekend morning newscast after more than five years at the station.
"It has been a tremendous honor to serve you for so many years," Artist wrote on Facebook. "Your constant support and encouragement have made me a better journalist and an even better person. I am forever grateful. For now, I plan to spend lots of quality time with my family/friends and traveling as much as I can until my next big adventure. The sky's the limit, and I'm floating on a cloud."
Minor (left) announced her departure last Wednesday and promised she'd get specific about where she's heading in a future post.
"I'm excited to say I'll be heading to a new opportunity and taking another step in this beautiful journey!" she wrote on Facebook. "What a road it has been with all of you. Thank you for letting me into your homes and allowing me to tell the stories that matter. The last couple years, you all have blessed me so much with your welcoming kindness and I thank you, dearly, for challenging me to be better and better each and every day."
WCPO vp and general manager Jeff Brogan told Cincinnati Public Radio reporter John Kiesewetter, "It's not that unusual to have employees coming-and-going in this business as journalists grow their careers."
"As positions open, we look around our industry to find the best journalists to join our awesome team," said Brogan. "Our goal is to reflect the community with our coverage and that comes with having a diverse news team–it's one of our top priorities."
Artist worked for nearly 10 years at WPXI in Pittsburgh, Pa. before joining WCPO in 2015. She has also worked as executive producer of the Radio Times talk show on WHYY-FM in Philadelphia, as an associate producer for NPR's Talk of the Nation in Washington D.C. and at WUPW in Toledo.
Minor worked at WFTX in Fort Myers, Fla. before joining the station in 2018. Before that, her resume says she was a sideline commentator for ESPN.

The month of February marks an important mile stone for Ubar Grotto. It was on February 27, 2011, that the first organizational meeting was held for the group that would become Ubar Grotto. In less than a year Ubar was organized, constituted, has grown steadily in membership, and been featured in the PA Freemason. What a year it has been!
In true Ubar style, the February Stated Meeting was another occasion for fun and frivolity amongst the Prophets of our corner of the Realm. The evening started in the usual way, with toasts, plenty of food, and adult beverages. The members, old and new alike, chatted with each resulting in new friendships all around. The usual banter could be heard around the tables, with no member being safe from a good natured ribbing.
This jovial spirit also resulted in a fantastic act of charity by the members. Early in the meeting the Monarch spoke about a fellow Prophet Josh Anderson, the current Monarch of O-Ton-Ta-La Grotto of Toledo, OH. Josh has a son who is afflicted with autism. The doctors have told Josh that his son would benefit significantly from an iPad. However, just like many families, the economy did not leave the Anderson family in a place where they could afford such a purchase. Josh has been trying to raise funds through the sale of autism awareness items but was still a long way off from being able to purchase the much needed device. This is where Ubar Grotto comes in. After hearing this story, the members passed the Lantern and made donations to Josh's cause. Once all was said and done, it was discovered that the Prophets donated a total of $150 to the cause, which was sent to Josh immediately. The members of Ubar Grotto have never met Josh in person – they only know of him from Facebook. The only question they asked before making the donation was "Is Josh a good guy?" When the Monarch responded with a resounding yes, the donations flowed freely. Thank you to the members of Ubar Grotto – you have truly made a difference in a Prophet's (and his son's) life!
When it was time to get down to business, several key issues were brought under consideration by the body. The group assembled discussed the need for a larger meeting space and several options were offered. After some debate it was decided that Ubar Grotto's new home will be the Spring Garden Conference Center in Middletown, PA. Being just ten miles from the current meeting place, this new facility can hold three times as many people and still provide the amenities desired by the members. Ubar will begin meeting at this new facility in March of 2012.
The other big discussion came when the day of the meeting was brought up. Some of the members of Ubar have on-going commitments on the second Sunday of each month, but are free the other Sunday's. After a short discussion, it was voted to draft a change to the by-laws to allow Ubar to meet on the fourth Sunday of the month. As this is a change to the by-laws, a draft of the change will appear in the next notice, to be voted on at the next stated meeting.
Following the usual business, Ubar opened for the performance of the Ceremonial of the Order, with Prophet Tom Labagh, Vizier, handling the ritualistic work. This class of new Prophets was our largest to date, but exact numbers cannot be given due to the current contest between Ubar and Cinema Grottoes. The new members all seemed excited by their membership and are looking forward to future meetings. Ubar will perform the Ceremonial again in March, with what looks to be an even bigger class of new members!
Thanks go out to everyone who came to the meeting, along with a warm welcome to our new members!
