Q: Android animate visibility change for two views at once I want to hide two views (a Viewpager and a LinearLayout) at once when a Button is clicked. I tried using android:animateLayoutChanges="true", but it will always start hiding the Viewpager first and then the LinearLayout, which doesn't look good.
How can I manually hide both views at the same time? I have seen examples like this were the visibility of one view is changed:
myImageView.animate()
        .translationY(myImageView.getHeight())
        .alpha(0.0f)
        .setDuration(300)
        .setListener(new AnimatorListenerAdapter() {
            @Override
            public void onAnimationEnd(Animator animation) {
                super.onAnimationEnd(animation);
                myImageView.setVisibility(View.GONE);

            }
        });

Is there a way to chain two animate() calls of different Viewsto trigger them simultaneously?
EDIT: This is my layout file, the Views I want to hide at the same time are the Viewpagerwith the id viewpager and the LinearLayout with the id ll_indicators:

A: Since you didn't post your layout, if you can put your ViewPager and LinearLayout in one layout, (for example inside a RelativeLayout) then you can animate that.

A: if( A.isShowing && B.isSowing(
A.hide
b.hide
)

Maybe this?

A: You can either just animate the parent LinearLayout, all Views within will animate with it :
yourLinearLayout.animate().setDuration(300).alpha(0).   ...

, or call animate() on two Views simultaneously :
  yourImageView.animate().alpha(0).    ...
  yourLinearLayout.animate().alpha(0).    ...

which would look like they are disappearing at the same time.

PHOTO: Minnesota Football Uniforms New for Next Season
By Scott Schroeder Jan 20, 2012, 6:38pm CST
Share All sharing options for: PHOTO: Minnesota Football Uniforms New for Next Season
The Minnesota Golden Gophers are a bit of a throwback team, like the majority of the Big Ten, so it isn't likely that man people were expecting worlds of change when the team announced its new jerseys on Friday afternoon. Those in attendance, then, likely weren't surprised when the new football uniforms include only subtle changes.
The new uniforms, re-designed by Nike, will allow the Gophers to combine gold, white and maroon jerseys with gold, white and maroon pants. The uniforms will be paired with the new helmets unveiled in December to complete a sort-of new look for the Minnesota football team.
Photos are available below.
Four other combinations are included on the school's website along with a video. For those that don't pay too close of attention to the team's uniforms, a press release noted the following changes:
The Minnesota name on the front of the jersey has been replaced by the Block M. The maroon and white jerseys feature each player's name on the back, while the gold tops simply say "Minnesota" on the back, serving as another reminder that Gopher football is Minnesota's team. Piping is gone from the pants, while a Block M on the hip has been added.

Star-Studded 'One World' Concert To Rally Support For Health Care Workers
By Emma Bowman
Lady Gaga, a guest on <em>The Tonight Show </em>with Jimmy Fallon earlier this month, shows off the lineup of late-night stars set to host the "One World" charity special she helped organize.
Celebrities are coming together, virtually, on Saturday night for a massive livestreamed concert organized to recognize front-line health care workers and to support the World Health Organization's work in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Starting at 8 p.m. ET, "One World: Together At Home," curated by Lady Gaga, promises performances from Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Elton John, Lizzo, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. Late-night funnymen Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel will share hosting duties.
In partnership with the World Health Organization, the anti-poverty organization Global Citizen is putting on the event to raise money for the WHO's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
"The World Health Organization is committed to defeating the coronavirus pandemic with science and public health measures, and supporting the health workers who are on the frontlines of the response," WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a news release Saturday. "We may have to be apart physically for a while, but we can still come together virtually to enjoy great music."
Lady Gaga, who's expected to kick off the show, posted an emotional video on Instagram leading up to the event. Thanking essential workers around the world, the pop star called the effort "a true love letter," saying she hopes it serves as "a reminder of the kindness that's occurring right now."
A wide variety of social media platforms will run the broadcast, including Twitter, YouTube and Facebook, in addition to major networks like CBS, ABC, and NBC.

Q: How to get ID on a specific row in PHP and MySQL PHP is giving me error of

Notice: Undefined index: product_id in C:\xampp\htdocs\odieinventory\admin\add_sales.php on line 6

This is my query
<?php
  if (isset($_POST['addCart'])) {
    $product_id = $_POST['product_id'];
    $qtyBuy = $_POST['qtyBuy'];

    $addQuery = "INSERT INTO sales (product_id, quantity) VALUES ($product_id, $qtyBuy)";
    $execQuery = mysqli_query($connection, $addQuery);
  }
?>

This is my table
<form action="add_sales.php" method="POST">
        <?php

          $query = "SELECT * FROM products";
          $exec = mysqli_query($connection, $query);

          while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($exec)) {
            $product_id = $row['product_id'];
            $product_name = $row['product_name'];
            $description = $row['description'];
            $product_quantity = $row['quantity'];
            $product_price = $row['sell_price'];

         ?>

                <?php echo $product_id; ?>
                  <input type="hidden" name="product_id" value="<?php echo $product_id; ?>">

                <?php echo $product_name; ?>
                <?php echo $description; ?>
                <?php echo $product_price; ?>
                <?php echo $product_quantity; ?>

                <input type="number" min="1" max="999" name="qtyBuy">

         <?php } ?>

          <input type="submit" name="addCart" value="Add Items to Cart" class="btn btn-info pull-right">

</form>

I would also like to ask for advice on how to insert records on my cart. By clicking 'Add Items to Cart', I like to pass ONLY the items with values on the quantitiy input on the cart. How to achieve this with PHP?

A: First of all, you should never put users input ($_POST) directly into the SQL to avoid SQL injection - use prepared statements with mysqli.
It would be easiest for you to add a separate form with product ID and quantity field and an "Add to cart" button for each product in the table.

A: In your table file table.php , you have to:
1- open the table and tbody HTML tags
2- make your html attributes form name as array (you have more than one input with the same name), in your case you are only submiting the last product_id and the last qtyBuy input values.
table.php
<form action="add_sales.php" method="POST">

        <?php

          $query = "SELECT * FROM products";
          $exec = mysqli_query($connection, $query);
          while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($exec)) {
            $product_id = $row['product_id'];
            $product_name = $row['product_name'];
            $description = $row['description'];
            $product_quantity = $row['quantity'];
            $product_price = $row['sell_price'];

         ?>

                <?php echo $product_id; ?>
                  <input type="hidden" name="product_id[]" value="<?php echo $product_id; ?>">

                <?php echo $product_name; ?>
                <?php echo $description; ?>
                <?php echo $product_price; ?>
                <?php echo $product_quantity; ?>

                <input type="number" min="1" max="999" name="qtyBuy[]">

            <?php } ?>

          <input type="submit" name="addCart" value="Add Items to Cart" class="btn btn-info pull-right">

</form>

In your add_sales.php file, you have to loop the $_POST['qtyBuy'] variable and check if the given quantity of each product is > 0
add_sales.php
<?php
   if (isset($_POST['addCart']) && $_POST['addCart']=="Add Items to Cart") {
     foreach($_POST['qtyBuy'] as $index=>$value){
       if($value > 0){
           $addQuery = "INSERT INTO sales (product_id, quantity) VALUES (".$_POST['product_id'][$index].", ".$value.")";
           $execQuery = mysqli_query($connection, $addQuery);
        }
     }
  }
?>

Il circondario di Patti era uno dei tre circondari in cui era suddivisa la provincia di Messina, esistito dal 1861 al 1927.

Storia
Con l'Unità d'Italia (1861) la suddivisione in province e circondari stabilita dal Decreto Rattazzi fu estesa all'intera Penisola.

Il circondario di Patti fu abolito, come tutti i circondari italiani, nel 1927, nell'ambito della riorganizzazione della struttura statale voluta dal regime fascista.

Suddivisione
Nel 1863, la composizione del circondario era la seguente:
 Mandamento I di Naso
 Capri Leone, Frazzanò, Mirto, Naso, San Salvatore di Fitalia
 Mandamento II di Patti
 Gioiosa Marea, Librizzi, Montagnareale, Oliveri, Patti
 Mandamento III di Raccuia
 Raccuia, San Pietro sopra Patti, Santa Domenica, Ucria
 Mandamento IV di Sant'Agata di Militello
 Alcara Li Fusi, Militello Rosmarino, San Marco di Alfonsio, Sant'Agata di Militello
 Mandamento V di Sant'Angelo di Brolo

With Neruda's help as a poet and an influential countryman, Mario overcomes his shy nature and he and Beatriz fall in love, much to the dismay of Rosa, who banishes Beatriz from seeing Mario.

Neruda is taken away in an ambulance and dies in the hospital several days later. As Neruda is gone, Mario is no longer needed as the postman, but takes on a job as the cook in the restaurant.

AT ISSUE: Top 10 ways to slash property taxes
The "Tax Crisis" series that ran daily in the Asbury Park Press during the past week did nothing if not expose the negligence of public officials, past and present, in failing to address the property tax problem.
Today, New Jersey property taxes are less affordable than ever. And, it's not because of any shortage of ideas on how to control them. The problem is a shortage of public officials with the backbone to act on the ideas — and the failure of New Jersey citizens to put enough pressure on them to force them to act. It's time to fight back.
We have been offering our own suggested solutions for more than a decade. So have various study groups, property tax commissions, think tanks and public policy experts. The net result: property taxes in New Jersey continue to be the highest in the nation. They continue to rise far faster than the rate of inflation and the rate of income growth.
It is crystal clear at this point that nothing will change unless citizens put the proverbial gun to their elected officials' heads and demand that they act on any number of potential solutions to the problem.
Exclusive: How property taxes rip you off
It would be easy to compile a list of 50 or more ways to reduce property taxes. There were at least that many suggested in our tax series, in our tax forum Thursday night, in our editorial board meetings over the past few weeks with Assembly candidates and in letters to the editors and story comments on our app.com website.
If you are going to demand change, you need to be specific about what you want. We have whittled our long list of suggestions down to those 10 we believe can produce the greatest reduction in property taxes most quickly.
All of them involve either reducing the dependence on the property tax or reducing state spending. Both are essential. Expanding the tax base through economic growth also would ease the tax burden, but it would be foolish to bank on that as the answer given recent history and modest projections for the rest of the decade.
Ask your Assembly candidates via email or by phone which of these ideas they would support. Then vote accordingly.
1. Provide for a 35 percent property tax reduction, as recommended by a League of Municipalities study, in exchange for adjustments in income tax brackets that would raise income taxes for upper-middle class taxpayers and, if necessary, expand items subject to sales tax.
The property tax is archaic, regressive and unfair to low-wage homeowners and those on fixed incomes. Only one state is more dependent on the property tax as a revenue source than New Jersey — New Hampshire, which has no sales tax and derives only 1.6 percent of its revenue from income taxes. Property taxes account for 48 percent of New Jersey's state and local revenues; the national average is 33 percent. General sales taxes account for 15.3 percent of the revenue (the national average is 22.5 percent) and income taxes generate 20 percent, slightly less than the U.S. average of 21.3 percent.
Taxed Out: 5 ideas to solve NJ tax crisis
A revenue-neutral re-balancing is in order. It could produce an immediate, substantial reduction of the property tax burden.
A task force of the state League of Municipalities two years ago recommended a plan calling for a 35 percent property tax cut up to $7,000 on the first $20,000 in property taxes on first homes. It would be fully funded by an income tax increase and the elimination of existing property tax relief programs.
Although New Jersey's top income tax rate of 8.97 percent is second only to California, the income tax burden for New Jersey families earning between $12,000 and $80,000 is the lowest among the 43 states that have income taxes. And families making $110,000 a year pay less income tax here than in Pennsylvania, whose top income tax rate of 3.07 percent is the lowest in the nation. Check your W2, and compare your income tax bite to your property tax bite.
2. Tweak the tax plan proposed by 2009 independent gubernatorial candidate Chris Daggett, which would have provideda 25 percent property tax cut to all New Jersey homeowners to a maximum of $2,500, mostly by expanding goods and services subject to the sales tax. All senior citizen property owners would receive the maximum cut of $2,500 per year.
Daggett's tax reform plan would have extended the existing 7-cent sales tax to a now-exempt range of personal and professional services, including legal, accounting and architectural. It was projected to have added $3.9 billion in tax revenue, a figure we questioned when we decided not to endorse him.
The plan was flawed. But it provided a framework for weaning the state off the property tax. Some combination of an expansion of the sales tax to other items, and changes to income tax rate thresholds may be preferable.
3. Adopt statewide initiative and referendum, which allows voters to put questions on the ballot without requiring legislative approval.
This may be the most important of our 10 recommendations. It should be a litmus test for supporting any candidate for the Legislature. And it should be a goal of every anti-tax, community and good-government organization throughout the state. Someone should take up the ball on getting an I&R movement started in New Jersey and demand that lawmakers give them the power of initiative and referendum — a power granted citizens in 27 states and most Western democracies.
The $200,000 Officer - Tax Crisis
Various attempts to put I&R on the ballot in the 1940s, 1970s and 1980s failed. In 1991, state Republicans made initiative and referendum a centerpiece of their campaign, helping them win control of the Legislature. But once in the majority, their promises to share power with citizens evaporated. In 2007, I&R again was a major plank in the state Republican Party's platform, but the Democrats have shown no enthusiasm for it.
Representative democracy in this politically dysfunctional state is not working. If politicians won't take the steps needed to reduce property taxes and get the state's financial house in order, citizens must be able to petition for it. New Jersey needs a dose of direct democracy. Citizens must begin clamoring for it.
4. Freeze the existing public employee pension plans; transition existing and new employees into 401(k) or similar plans.
"Given the gravity of this crisis, no part of the status quo is acceptable," the New Jersey Pension and Health Benefit Study Commission concluded in a report in February. Bottom line: Without major changes, the pension funds for teachers and state employees will run out of money by 2017. Future public employee retirement benefits must be aligned with private-sector levels.
As the report emphasizes, pension costs are not just a concern for public employees; they affect the state's credit rating, which can cost taxpayers millions of dollars in higher interest rates on government borrowing.
How have state lawmakers responded to the commission's dire warning? By doing absolutely nothing. There has been no discussion in the Legislature about the report since. Meanwhile, the clock keeps ticking.
Flight of the Yankees: New Jerseyans go South - Tax Crisis
In editorial board meetings with Assembly candidates over the past few weeks, most Republicans have warned of a disaster in the making. Most of the Democratic candidates trotted out the standard party line that public employees aren't to blame for the mess. It's all the fault of previous governors and of Gov. Christie, who failed to make the agreed-upon pension contribution in his 2011 pension deal with Democrats.
They neglect to mention that in December 2006, when it was clear to everyone the state was headed for a fiscal shipwreck, a joint legislative committee studying benefits reforms made 98 common-sense recommendations that would have charted a new course. But Corzine told the legislative leadership to hold off on most of the recommendations, saying benefits changes should be negotiated, not legislated.
Weeks later, he announced a tentative contract agreement with the state's public employee unions that made a complete lie of his pledge to take drastic steps to put the state on a sound fiscal footing. Legislative proposals to cut the pension benefit for future workers by 9 percent and to calculate pensions based on the average of the last five years of salary, instead of the current three, were rejected. So were proposals to require all future employees to enroll in a 401(k)-type plan instead of the current defined benefit system.
Fast forward to 2015. We are in far deeper trouble than we were in 2006. Something must be done, and soon.
5. Align public employee health benefits with private-sector levels, as recommended by the benefits commission. Practically speaking, that means providing less rich health benefits, comparable to the private sector.
New Jersey's public-sector health benefits are the third-costliest in the nation. Without immediate action, the benefits commission report warned, the tab for public employee health benefits in 2016 would be $8 billion, 23 percent of a $35.5 billion budget. The commission said the maximum should be 15 percent of the budget.
These staggering costs must be brought under control before they crowd out funding for essential government services.
Something also must be done to address health insurance costs for early retirees, which are far higher than for public employees who retire when they become eligible for Medicare. Early retirees, whose coverage costs tend to be higher because of their age, do not contribute to the cost of their coverage.
According to the benefits commission report, family coverage for an active public employee is about $16,000; for an early retiree, the average cost of family coverage —yes, the whole family is covered — is $26,000 a year.
EDITORIAL: Fight back on property taxes!
6. Mandate consolidation of K-6 school districts into K-12 districts.
School spending constitutes by far the largest portion of the property tax bill. To help cut education costs, for more than 40 years New Jersey policymakers have debated the merits of consolidating the state's 600-plus school districts, a number slightly lower today due to the dissolution of some non-operating districts. Virtually every report and study has concluded that the profusion of districts fails to provide the continuity, consistent program quality and economies of scale needed to operate an optimally efficient, effective educational system.
More than 20 years ago, Gov. Christine Todd Whitman called for a nonbinding referendum that would allow the state to force some of its smaller school districts to merge. It never found its way onto the ballot. Gov. Jon Corzine also pushed for school consolidation. He ordered the state's county executive superintendents to make recommendations for the consolidation of all K-6, K-8, 7-9 and 9-12 districts into K-12 districts. If the education commissioner had signed off on the plans, they would have been presented to the voters in the affected districts. That process died under Gov. Chris Christie.
Nevertheless, state auditors released a report last year recommending the state Department of Education push for consolidation. The report noted there are 278 school districts in New Jersey serving students in only grades K-6 or K-8, with total administrative costs of $270 million. Of that number, 144 school districts have just one school, costing taxpayers $63.5 million. The report also found that 18 school districts with just one K-6 or K-8 school had both a full-time superintendent and full-time principal, each earning an average of $121,000.
While some officials continue to maintain that consolidation would not produce significant savings, we strongly disagree. Former Assembly Majority Leader Joseph J. Roberts Jr., D-Camden, once estimated school consolidation, centralized purchasing, administration and transportation, and other steps could reduce school spending over time by 20 to 25 percent. Then-state Treasurer John McCormac came up with a similar estimate. Even a percentage substantially lower could save billions of taxpayer dollars.
7. Require towns that could realize substantial long-term savings from consolidating or sharing services with other towns, as determined by a state commission, either to do so or lose state aid equivalent to the estimated savings.
New Jersey has 565 municipalities, about one-third of which have fewer than 2,000 residents. Despite a 1978 law designed to facilitate municipal mergers, there have been only two in the past 50 years. In 1997, two Warren County towns consolidated — Pahaquarry, which had only six residents, and Hardwick Township, which had fewer than 1,500. In 2011, Princeton Borough and Princeton Township merged.
If lawmakers think voluntary consolidation will work, they are deluding themselves. Financial incentives, and disincentives to remaining separate municipalities, are essential.
Senate bill S1, co-sponsored by Senate President Steve Sweeney, D-Gloucester, and Sen. Joseph Kyrillos, R-Monmouth, would move the process in the right direction. But it has been languishing in committee due to a lack of enthusiasm from lawmakers of both parties.
Under the bill, a consolidation recommendation would not be binding on a municipality and there would be no penalty for failing to implement it. But a municipality would be required to approve a commission recommendation for the sharing of services within 14 months of the recommendation, and implement the proposal within 28 months. A municipality could approve the recommendation by adoption of a resolution or ordinance or by adoption by voters.
If a municipality did not approve a recommendation for the sharing of services or make a good-faith attempt to implement the recommendation within the required time frames, it would be subject to a loss of state aid equal to the commission's estimated cost savings for implementing the recommendation.
8. Change the outdated school funding formula that allots 60 percent of the state's $9 billion in state aid for K-12 education to 31 former Abbott school districts and 40 percent to the other 500-plus school districts.
This is an outrage. The additional money poured into those districts has had virtually no positive impact. At the same time, the formula has amounted to a huge surcharge on suburban communities whose taxpayers are picking up the tab.
To make matters worse, many suburban districts are being shortchanged under the existing formula, which is badly outdated. Demographics have changed since it was first developed. Many towns that don't deserve the full amount of aid continue to receive it, and many that do deserve it are getting far less than they should.
9. Amend Civil Service rules to give government entities more flexibility in personnel decisions.
Civil service governs most state employees, 20 of 21 counties and 193 municipalities, including most of the larger ones. Once towns or counties opt to become civil service towns — something that must be done by referendum — there is no way out.
The most important of 60 recommendations in a 1997 report by the Property Tax Commission, which was charged with finding ways to reduce property taxes, was to allow government entities to withdraw from the civil service system. That and most of its other worthy recommendations were, and continue to be, blocked by the state's Democratic leadership.
Civil service rules make it difficult for towns to hire the best employees in a timely manner and even more difficult to lay off employees during tight economic times or transfer them to jobs where there is a greater need. It can take six months or longer to lay off employees once a plan has been submitted to the Department of Personnel, which must sign off on it.
Civil service rules — some of which date back nearly a century — also have been a major impediment to consolidation of municipalities, police and fire departments, and other government entities: If one entity in a consolidation is governed by civil service, all employees in the newly merged entity must be covered by civil service.
10. Adopt use-them-or-lose-them policies for sick days and vacation days.
At Thursday night's Asbury Park Press forum on property taxes, Assemblywoman Amy Handlin, R-Monmouth, said the obligation for paying for unused sick days alone is around $1 billion.
Gov. Chris Christie has said he would not compromise on proposals to end sick-leave payouts for retiring public workers. In 2011, he vetoed legislation last year capping the amount of unused sick time public employees could cash out at $15,000. Democrats then offered to cut the amount in half, to $7,500, but Christie rejected it, insisting unused sick days should have no cash value at retirement. There has been no movement on the issue since then.
Although we agree with the governor's position, some cap on payouts is better than no cap at all.

Intel smart glasses no more as it shifts focus away from wearables
By Marc Chacksfield
Intel backs away from the world of wearables
(Image credit: The Verge)
Intel will no longer work on its smart glasses initiative and will be closing the doors of its wearables division, it has been revealed.
In a new report by The Information (opens in new tab), it is thought that Intel will walk away completely from the hardware part of the wearables market, which would mean that its Vaunt smart glasses concept won't be released and work on its AR projects is to cease as well.
Given this area of its business houses around 200 people, it is a big chunk of Intel that will no longer operate.
Intel isn't a big name in the wearables market, but it has tried to enter the area. Back in 2014, it bought wearable maker Basis but it ended up winding up that part of the business in 2016.
This was after it had to recall the Basis Peak when reports came in of the smartwatch overheating.
No moAR
It instead pushed its efforts into the AR space and added its chips to the Tag Heuer Connected range of smartwatches and also working with the likes of New Balance and Oakley.
It was thought the company was done with wearable hardware, until earlier this year The Verge got its hands/face on the Intel Vaunt, a pair of smart glasses that actually looked like glasses.
This and its continued push into augmented reality did make the world think that it was dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what wearables can do, but now this doesn't seem to be the case.

New Phase of 'Operation 404' Targets Pirate IPTV & TV Streaming Sites
April 22, 2022 by Andy Maxwell
Home > Anti-Piracy > Takedowns and Seizures >
'Operation 404', a Brazilian anti-piracy initiative carried out with support from the US and UK, claimed more successes this week. Police executed 13 search and seizure warrants against three TV piracy sites, two illegal streaming portals, and an IPTV provider. Three people were arrested with one suspect, an accountant, apparently caught 'red-handed' while streaming from his office.
For the past three years, authorities in Brazil have displayed new momentum in the battle against all types of pirate sites.
Following a complaint from local anti-piracy group APDIF (Association for the Protection of the Intellectual Property Rights of the Phonographic Industry), in January 2019 Brazil's Federal Police shut down a private torrent site but that was just a taste of things to come.
Just months later, Brazilian law enforcement agencies launched a large anti-piracy campaign codenamed 'Operation 404,' a nod to the well-known HTTP error code. The aim was to take down pirate sites via suspensions, raids and arrests.
New Phase of Operation 404
This week, a new phase of Operation 404 was launched by the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro in partnership with the government's National Film Agency (ANCINE).
More than a dozen search and seizure warrants were executed in Rio de Janeiro, Duque de Caxias, Magé, Cabo Frio, and Casimiro de Abreu against three pay-TV piracy sites, two illegal streaming portals, and one IPTV service.
In common with previous actions, authorities are yet to name the affected platforms, but according to a statement from ANCINE anti-piracy coordinator Eduardo Carneiro, they are all suspected of breaching intellectual property rights and together attracted around 46 million visitors.
"Content is stolen and distributed illegally. Depending on the type of operation, with a monthly fee, or free of charge on websites, with funding made through advertising," Carneiro says.
"Evidence of the occurrence of the crime, such as computers, cell phones, which may produce evidence within the investigation and perhaps even the illicit acquisition center of audiovisual content," were items of interest, he added.
Three People Detained, One Caught 'Red-Handed'
As part of the operation the Civil Police detained three people and took them to the Cidade da Polícia for questioning.
Two were released after giving statements but according to Brazil's G1, one of the suspects – accountant Bruno da Silva Guimarães – was caught "red-handed" in his office where a computer was "broadcasting pirated content." He was later released on bail with his lawyer declining a request for comment.
"According to the investigations, the targets created distribution centers where they clandestinely sold the packages and violated copyrights," says Pedro Brasil from the Department for Repression of Crimes Against Intellectual Property (DRCPIM).
Operation 404 is coordinated by the Integrated Operations Secretariat (SEOPI), a federal public higher-level body linked to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP), and has support from United States and United Kingdom authorities.
In the first wave, 136 sites and 100 apps were targeted and in the second, another 300 were added to the list. The third wave in 2021 saw law enforcement officials block or seize the domains of 334 websites, 94 piracy apps, and 20 IP addresses.

365 Retail Markets Named to the Inc. 5000 List For the Third Time
For the 3rd Time, 365 Retail Markets Appears on the Inc. 5000 list, Ranking No. 2,874 With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 143% Percent
TROY, MI, August 20, 2018 – Inc. magazine revealed that 365 Retail Markets is No. 2,874 on its 37th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"It is more difficult to reach this goal year after year because of the law of big numbers," said Joe Hessling, CEO of 365 Retail Markets, "But we really pushed hard to continue our growth and are lucky enough to once again achieve this great honor. Thanks to all of our customers, the 365 team that supports them and the families that support our team. We are working hard to be the best that we can be."
Not only have the companies on the 2018 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 15) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2018 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 538.2 percent, and a median rate of 171.8 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $206.1 billion in 2017, accounting for 664,095 jobs over the past three years.
"If your company is on the Inc. 5000, it's unparalleled recognition of your years of hard work and sacrifice," says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. "The lines of business may come and go, or come and stay. What doesn't change is the way entrepreneurs create and accelerate the forces that shape our lives."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 17 to 19, 2018, at the JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort, in San Antonio, Texas. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.

Internet: Facebook group Meta lifts ban for Trump
After his Twitter account, Donald Trump also gets the accounts on Facebook and Instagram back. However, it is still unclear whether the former US President will make use of it.
Former US President Donald Trump may return to Facebook and Instagram. The lock that has been in effect for two years will be lifted in the coming weeks, said Nick Clegg, head of politics at the Facebook group Meta.
Trump's accounts on major online platforms were blocked after his supporters stormed the seat of the US Parliament in Washington in January 2021. The Republican had expressed sympathy for the rioters in a video at the time. Trump had previously used his online channels for months to spread the false claim that he was cheated out of a win over Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. The platforms feared at the time that Trump could unleash further violence if he continued to goad his supporters.
The Facebook group initially banned Trump until further notice. However, Meta's independent oversight body, which can scrutinize content and account decisions, concluded that an indefinite ban was not covered by the platform's rules. It decided that Trump's accounts should initially only be blocked for two years – and then had to be reassessed.
It has now been concluded that there is no longer a risk to public safety, as there was in January 2021, Clegg explained. "The suspension was an extraordinary decision under extraordinary circumstances."
Twitter declassified Trump's account in November
At the same time, he emphasized that Trump had to abide by the rules of the platform and that he was threatened with harsher penalties for violations as a repeat offender. He could be banned for a month to two years. On his own online network Truth Social, Trump repeatedly publishes statements that would violate Meta's rules against hate speech and libel.
In November, the new Twitter owner Elon Musk had already unlocked Trump's account with the short message service. However, the ex-president has not used it so far and has stuck with his Twitter copy Truth Social.
However, given his intention to fight for a return to the White House in the 2024 presidential election, a greater presence on online platforms could come in handy for Trump. More than 80 million users followed him on Twitter – and he got the followers back when the account was restored. At Truth Social he only has a good 4.8 million subscribers.
Meta expects controversy
In a first reaction to the Facebook ban being lifted, Trump did not comment on his plans. He only pointed out that the stock market value of the Facebook group had fallen by billions during his absence. At the same time, he emphasized that such a ban should never happen again to an incumbent president and thanked Truth Social.
When the Twitter account was restored in November, Trump had expressly announced that he would prefer to continue with his own service. In an exclusive agreement, Trump assured Truth Social that he would first publish posts there. However, there are also possibilities for exceptions.
Meta braces for controversy if Trump returns to the platform, Clegg wrote. "Many people will call on us to take action against his account and the content he posts – while others will be upset if he gets banned again or some of his posts aren't shared on our platform." That's why you want to be as transparent as possible with the rules and penalties.
Youtube continues to block Trump
The group was aware that any decision on Trump's accounts would come under heavy criticism, wrote Clegg. "But a decision had to be made." The meta manager and former British vice prime minister also pointed out that the group reserves the right to restrict the distribution of contributions on the platform. As an example, he cited statements that questioned the legality of upcoming elections or were related to the right-wing conspiracy theory QAnon. While such posts might be visible in Trump's account, they would not appear in the newsfeed of users who follow him.
Google's YouTube video service continues to block Trump from the major online platforms. So far, the Google subsidiary has only said that the block will be lifted when the risk of violence has decreased.

Pro-Choice Voting Guide
Assemblymember Steve Otis Endorsed!
Westchester County: Mamaroneck, parts of New Rochelle, Rye (City & Town).
Two (2) candidates are running in the Democratic Primary in NYS Assembly District # 91. Both candidates are rated pro-choice BUT only ONE has the legislative experience we need now – Assemblymember Steve Otis.
WCLA PAC is proud to endorse Assemblymember Steve Otis for re-election!
"Assemblymember Steve Otis has worked with all of us here in Westchester and Albany for years to protect and advance a woman's right to make her own decisions. He has been a co-sponsor of key legislation including the Reproductive Health Act, the Comprehensive Contraception Coverage Act, and the Boss Bill. Steve Otis is a determined ally who makes reproductive health and freedom a top priority. We need his continued advocacy in the State Assembly because Steve Otis is a true fighter who gets real results."
—Catherine Lederer-Plaskett, WCLA-PAC
Remember: Tuesday, June 23rd, is the NYS Primary. In-person early voting begins on June 13th. Because of COVID-19, all registered NYS voters will receive an application for an Absentee Ballot in the mail for the Primary Election. In order to receive your ballot, you MUST return that application!
WCLA PAC ENDORSEMENT POLICY
WCLA PAC is a New York State political action committee that makes its endorsements based on the candidate ratings made by the Board of Directors of WCLA – Choice Matters. WCLA PAC's endorsements are determined case by case. These ratings and endorsements have been made based upon interviews, actions and questionnaires, and are an evaluation of the candidates' positions on a woman's right to choose. To be considered for endorsement, candidates must complete and return the Organization's questionnaire and participate in an interview if requested. Candidates who fail to return the questionnaire are rated anti-choice and have been fully informed of that consequence before making their decision. All endorsements are made on a strictly non-partisan basis. The questionnaires, incumbents' and opponents' records, leadership, and helpfulness during the legislative session are all reviewed. Consistency between candidates' actions, interviews and questionnaire responses is important. Each race is voted separately. Incumbents may be endorsed over pro-choice challengers if they have consistent voting records and have established a reputation for strong leadership and extra effort in advancing access to abortion and contraception. Non-incumbents may be endorsed if they have demonstrated leadership on the issue. Endorsement is considered only for those who unequivocally support:
Access to abortion and contraception for ALL women, unimpeded by laws, restrictions or regulations;
Strict confidentiality for all reproductive health care;
Coverage by public and private insurance of abortion and contraception.
About WCLA PAC
Our mission is to keep abortion legal and to ensure that all women, regardless of age, race, class, status, geography or ability to pay, have full, unimpeded access to reproductive health care.
To make our mission a reality, we work to get pro-choice candidates elected and appointed at every level of government in New York State and Westchester County.
WCLA PAC is not a member or ally of any political party. We rely on support from pro-choice voters.

Grauer's Blue Jay: A Hopkins Tradition, an exhibit of Blue Jay memorabilia from journalist, author, and editorial cartoonist Neil A. Grauer, opens at the MSE Library on January 28 and runs through May 25, 2009.
Since the 1920s, the mascot of The Johns Hopkins University has been the feisty Blue Jay—sporting black-and-blue plumage to match Hopkins' athletic colors.
For more than 40 years, the most popular portrayal of that mascot has been the cartoon Blue Jay created in 1966 by Grauer (A&S '69), during his student years as a cartoonist for The Johns Hopkins News-Letter, the university's student newspaper.
The exhibit is drawn from the Grauer Blue Jay Collection, a 1996 gift from Grauer to the Sheridan Libraries of more than 50 items. On display are his 1966 original sketch of the Blue Jay, drawn on the back of a 3×5 index card, numerous other original drawings, and lacrosse caps, T-shirts, posters, cups, an umbrella, and a travel bag, all printed with the Blue Jay logo.
Several items from Grauer's personal collection are also exhibited, including a pair of Nike limited edition sneakers, created for members of the 2007 NCAA Division I Men's Lacrosse championship team.
Grauer, now a senior writer in The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine's Marketing Editorial Services department, has drawn the Blue Jay for numerous JHU athletic teams, the Alumni Association, and the Pep Band, and still draws the Blue Jay on request.
The exhibit is located on M-Level of the Eisenhower Library and may be viewed whenever the library is open.


These shoes will draw some attention for sure... Open-toe slide sandals feature wide toe and vamp straps with a multi-colored, hand-drawn doodle print that resembles graffiti or a child's drawings. Shoes are finished with a ridged sole and no closures. Pattern placement may vary.

Modern Systems of Government: Exploring the Rol...
The success or failure of empires, nation-states, and city-states often rests on the relationship between bureaucracy and politicians. In this provocative and timely volume, editor Ali Farazmand examines the myriad relationships between politicians and bureaucrats and how they affect modern governance. This book is organized around the major themes of professionalism, bureaucracy, governance, and the relationship between career bureaucrats/higher civil servants and political appointees/politicians under presidential and parliamentary systems. After introducing the basic elements of bureaucracies in Part I, the book discusses the relations between bureaucrats and politicians in presidential systems in Part II as well as in parliamentary systems in Part III. This original and up-to-date book will fill a gap in the literature on the relationship between bureaucrats and politicians in modern governance ...

Transients and Careerists in Latin America
Lawrence S.Graham
In the transitions literature and discussions related to democratic consolidation, a debate has emerged over the extent to which parliamentary systems are more conducive to the survival of democracy than presidential systems.1 Rarely, however, has this debate engaged questions of institutional design beyond giving attention to presidents and parliaments. This is not to say that these issues have not been raised at meetings on the topic, only that they have not made it into print in books subsequently published. The case in point is the Linz and Valenzuela volume. There the editors acknowledge the outstanding contribution made by Fred Riggs at the May 1989 Georgetown symposium by introducing consideration of the U.S. case ...

Hotelier complains to CM about raid at Dharampur hotel
Contrary to the claims of the ruling Congress government to provide transparent and responsive administration, the surprise checking of hotels by unknown excise officials at a hotel in Dharampur has kicked up a fresh controversy here.
By HT Correspondent | Hindustan Times, Solan
Earlier, surprise raids by the officials in Kasauli during the tourist season had led to resentment among the businesses in the region.
In a complaint written to the chief minister and senior police officials, hotelier Ved Garg alleged that excise officials unlawfully entered the hotel and took away documents and other related materials without any intimation. Besides "acting as dictators", the officials also summoned the local police and asked them to register a false case against Garg by handing over three bottles of wine to them.
Garg said at around 4:00 pm, an unknown person came to hotel Tapowan Resort and without giving any introduction to the management of the hotel and the staff on duty, entered the office of the company directors without permission. He then started taking out the papers and other records of the company. Shortly after receiving calls from the hotel staff, Garg reached the site and requested the official to disclose his identity. But the official concerned threatened him and staff members with dire consequences without any provocation. Later, a head constable entered the director's office and directed Garg to vacate the office immediately, failing which he would face dire consequences.
"Shortly after this, two more people, one man and one woman, entered the same office and started arguing with my staff members and me. They threatened to handcuff all of us and put us behind bars." Garg added, after this, one of them went out of the director's office and came back after a short while with three bottles of wine. He called the local police to register a case against Garg and handed over the bottles to them, threatening Garg to get ready to face criminal prosecution.
The complainant urged the chief minister to order a high-level probe into the incident as the officials concerned, instead of acting as a 'public servant,' had acted in an unlawful manner and implicated him in a false and fabricated case.
