Walking past Mullumbimby library recently I paused at the trolley they always have outside the front door with books and magazines for sale. It's not often I find anything of interest… there seems to be an insatiable appetite for fantasy and science fiction today and I haven't yet managed to cultivate an interest in that genre. This day, though, there was a gem worth buying, Peter O'Connor's (1981) Understanding Mid-life Crisis published by Pan Macmillan.
O'Connor wrote a newspaper article where he talked about the way men can experience the years between 35 and 45, and he described this as a period 'when feelings of frustration and personal inadequacy may surface and marital strains may be felt'. Although about men he suggests that the same could be felt by women, especially those who are/have been working. His article generated many letters from men feeling they had experienced the same issues he described and offering to take part in his research as interviewees. There are many interesting facts in the book but one I want to share today is where he talks about the four fantasies most commonly mentioned by his interviewees. I thought these worth passing on.
First, the farmer fantasy, the most prevalent one, O'Connor describes as 'To own, run and live on a farm or farmlet, to belong to the land, to know the pace of nature and the rhythm of animals' (1991;59). Secondly, the nurseryman fantasy, 'more to do with nurturing and growth' (1991;60). The helper fantasy frequently took the form of doing social work or similar, with the desire to give back' but the irony being 'that often these men have sacrificed the well-being of their own families in the pursuit of their materialistic goals. In such cases the fantasy has much to do with attempting reparation and meeting needs for warm, caring relationships as it has to do with a desire to help others (1991, 61).
The writer fantasy or being some form of creative person, was next. Those whose 'lives were lived predominantly on the intellectual plane' tended to predominate in his group. Here the fantasy was of writing 'the great work" which mainly meant a novel. O'Connor says this fantasy 'has to do with an inner demand, arising around the mid-life period, to give some time and space to the neglected sides of one's psyche' with this fantasy expressing 'he inner drive to be creative and to experience an alternative mode to the rational, empirical, logical mode' (1991; 62). O'Connor argues that one should not deny these urges as 'the desire represents an inner prompting, a reminder of a needed growth, an inner direction for partly resolving, in a creative way, the mid-life crisis (1991;62). Men, he argues, should not deny these urges saying "I'm too old for that now" for 'To deny such possibilities is..to sentence oneself to death and to allow oneself to be captured like an insect in a web of inertia' (1991;62).


Effective Strategic Management gives the participants a firm foundation in the concepts and practices of strategic management, along with analysis and evaluation matrices.

Q: Call Main thread from secondary thread in Android How to call Main thread from secondary thread in Android?

A: The simplest way is to call runOnUiThread(...) from your thread
activity.runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
    public void run() {
        ... do your GUI stuff
    }
});

A: My recommendation to communicate threads in the same process is sending messages between those threads. It is very easy to manage this situation using Handlers:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/Handler.html
Example of use, from Android documentation, to handling expensive work out of the ui thread:
public class MyActivity extends Activity {

    [ . . . ]
    // Need handler for callbacks to the UI thread
    final Handler mHandler = new Handler();

    // Create runnable for posting
    final Runnable mUpdateResults = new Runnable() {
        public void run() {
            updateResultsInUi();
        }
    };

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        [ . . . ]
    }

    protected void startLongRunningOperation() {

        // Fire off a thread to do some work that we shouldn't do directly in the UI thread
        Thread t = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                mResults = doSomethingExpensive();
                mHandler.post(mUpdateResults);
            }
        };
        t.start();
    }

    private void updateResultsInUi() {

        // Back in the UI thread -- update our UI elements based on the data in mResults
        [ . . . ]
    }
}

A: You'll need a Handler that passes the information back to the main thread.

A: Also, it's good to remember that if you get your secondary thread through an AsyncTask, you have the option to call onProgressUpdate(),  onPostExecute(), etc., to do work on the main thread.

A: Sample code using HandlerThread
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        final Handler responseHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper()){
            @Override
            public void handleMessage(Message msg) {
                //txtView.setText((String) msg.obj);
                Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this,
                        "Result from UIHandlerThread:"+(int)msg.obj,
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG)
                        .show();
            }
        };

        HandlerThread handlerThread = new HandlerThread("UIHandlerThread"){
            public void run(){
                /* Add your business logic to pupulate attributes in Message
                   in place of sending Integer 5 as in example code */
                Integer a = 5;
                Message msg = new Message();
                msg.obj = a;
                responseHandler.sendMessage(msg);
                System.out.println(a);
            }
        };
        handlerThread.start();

    }

}

Explanation:

*

*In above example, HandlerThread post a Message on Handler of UI Thread, which has been initialized with Looper of UI Thread.
final Handler responseHandler = new Handler(Looper.getMainLooper())

*responseHandler.sendMessage(msg); sends Message from HandlerThread to UI Thread Handler.

*handleMessage processes Message received on MessageQueue and shows a Toast on UI Thread.

According to Alexis Krisay, owner and VP of marketing at Serendipit, every post that leads to a call to action has a Facebook tracking code on it, so Serendipit can monitor click-throughs and the post's success. "We're really big on evaluating which content was most successful each month." she says.
Serendipit posts content tied to the university community as a whole, not just items about the property. "If there's a big basketball game on campus, we post a funny graphic, but we make sure every graphic has the property's logo because branding is important." says Krisay.

To coincide with the new beginnings of spring, Luna Vineyards is pleased to introduce a new wine to our black label portfolio.
Our 2015 Dijon Chardonnay Reserve is the perfect bottle to uncork as the days get warmer and longer. The grapes come from our Estate Vineyard along the Napa River where early morning fog and the afternoon sun lend to ideal growing conditions.
Optimal ripeness with an underlying acidity is recognizable with each sip. Flavors of soft vanilla cake and apricots fill the glass and a rich finish with a splash of lemon zest keeps the wine lingering on the palate for minutes.


I'd like to thank Jason Brownie for stopping by yesterday morning! We had a great time, and can't wait to hear him at Countryfest!
Don't throw out those flowers!
Random Acts of Flowers is a non-profit that recycles floral arrangements into beautiful bouquets that are delivered to patients at hospitals, senior centers, and other healthcare facilities. They take flowers that were given to someone and repurpose them for someone else, brightening more people's days with the same flowers.
The idea for Random Acts of Flowers came to founder Larsen Jay after he was in a near-fatal car accident in July 2007. While recovering, he got lots of lovely flowers, but he noticed other patients in the hospital didn't get any. So he broke his arrangements up into smaller ones and shared them with fellow patients.
When he saw how much of an impact his gesture had on others, he decided to do it on a bigger scale and Random Acts of Flowers was created. Now they have locations in Knoxville, Tampa, Silicon Valley, Chicago, and Indianapolis, where volunteers recycle and repurpose flowers to spread the cheer.
She ended up calling for help and emergency services had to come to her house, remove the toilet from her bathroom, bring it outside and break it in order to free her hand. The best part? Someone at the house filmed the situation and the unnamed woman managed to keep laughing.

COMMITTEE AGAINST TORTURE CONSIDERS FOLLOW-UP TO CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS, INDIVIDUAL COMMUNICATIONS, AND REPRISALS
The Committee against Torture this afternoon discussed follow-up to concluding observations, individual communications, and reprisals under the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
Abdelwahab Hani, Rapporteur on follow-up to concluding observations under article 19 of the Convention, presenting his report, said that they had looked at some good practices concerning Seychelles, Cameroon and Qatar. Reminder letters had been sent to Belarus, Qatar, Mauritania and Seychelles, and evaluation letters had been sent to Bosnia and Herzegovina, Norway, Pakistan, Senegal, Chile and the Republic of Moldova. Evaluation reports had been prepared for Chile, Republic of Moldova, Czech Republic, Maldives and Qatar. The evaluation reports referred to the response of the States parties as well as the degree of implementation of the Committee's recommendations.
Mr. Hani said his mandate was coming to an end on 31 December, so this was his last follow-up report. He wished to talk about some lessons learnt during his four years as Rapporteur on follow-up to concluding observations under article 19 of the Convention. First was the importance of choosing recommendations that were specific, realistic and measurable. Second was the importance of adhering to the Committee's guidelines from December 2015 and to abstain from recommendations that required legislative measures, because the legislative process took a lot of time. Third was the importance of restricting follow-up recommendations to three or four recommendations maximum, and avoiding recommendations with several paragraphs. Fourth was the importance of specifying precisely in the text of the recommendation the nature of the recommendation itself. Fifth was the importance of specifying at the conclusion of the review the General Comments of the Committee, as well as the relevant soft laws.
The Chair of the Committee, Jens Modvig, said that of course the Committee would like to see all its recommendations adopted within a year, but the results were not bad. What was the reason that the recommendations were not fully implemented? Did this concern the will of the State party, or was it the Committee's fault if it chose recommendations that were too lengthy to fully implement?
In response, Mr. Hani said he believed this was about shared responsibility. The need for specific recommendations was necessary on the part of the Committee. Also, the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights could help States with capacity building. It was also the responsibility of all entities that took part in any training to ensure that the follow-up process was fully part of the reporting process.
Claude Heller Roussant, Rapporteur on follow-up to individual communications, said that during the session, the Committee looked at 11 individual communications. Concerning Switzerland, three communications were finalized with a satisfactory solution and full implementation of the Committee's recommendations. Concerning two communications from Sweden, there was satisfactory resolution of one, and for the other, it was decided to continue the dialogue with the State party. For Denmark concerning one communication, there was a lack of implementation by Denmark, so the Committee decided to continue its dialogue with the State party to move forward. For Morocco, there were two individual cases. As there was a lack of implementation of the Committee's recommendations, it would continue with the dialogue with the State party to move forward. For Argentina, one communication had been assessed in which there was partial implementation of the Committee's decision, so the Committee would continue with the dialogue with the State party. For Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Committee considered one case in which there had been partial implementation of the Committee's decision. Some progress had been registered and the Committee would continue with its dialogue with the State party. For Mexico, the Committee considered one case in which it decided there was lack of implementation, and the Committee decided to continue its dialogue with the State.
The Rapporteur on follow-up to reprisals, Ana Racu, said that since the last session, four cases had been in the focus of the Committee, two cases against Morocco, one against Argentina and one against Mexico. Concerning one case against Morocco, the Committee had decided to keep the follow-up dialogue ongoing and to send a reminder to the State party. As for the second one, the Committee decided to keep the follow-up dialogue ongoing and to request a meeting with the Permanent Mission of Morocco in Geneva. Concerning the case against Argentina, the follow-up dialogue would continue. As for the case against Mexico, the follow-dialogue would continue and there would be a letter sent with a renewed request for protection measures. There were no new allegations of reprisals.
Bakhtiyar Tuzmukhamedov, Committee Expert from Russia, said during the review of the report of Uzbekistan, there had been a considerable Russian presence in the conference room. The Chair had not been properly informed about their presence. The Russian Foreign Ministry and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights had been bringing in groups of senior Russian civil servants for orientation tours after Russia's report was considered by the Committee last year. This time the group was very much focused on torture. When he returned home, he would ask the State party to send a group from the regions and not the capital, with participants who were concerned with issues of racial discrimination as Russia was a multi-ethnic State.
All the documents relating to the Committee's work, including reports submitted by States parties, are available on the session's webpage. The webcast of the Committee's public meetings can be accessed at http://webtv.un.org/.
The Committee will next meet in public at 10 a.m. on Friday, 6 December, to publicly close its sixty-eighth session.

2022 World Cup Last 16 Preview: Portugal vs Switzerland
Portugal Qualify For Last 16 After Win Against Uruguay
Under the guidance of Fernando Santos, the Selecao were expected to cruise through against South Korea after Ricardo Horta put them ahead in the fifth minute. However, their opponents fought back and eventually won the game with a late goal. This was one of the many comebacks that have unfolded during the tournament's first fortnight.
After suffering their first loss, Uruguay's victory over Ghana ensured that Portugal would advance as Group H's top seed. The Portuguese will now look to reach the knockout stage for the first time since 2006.
After seeing his side beat Ghana and Uruguay in their opening two World Cup matches, Santos can look forward to breaking new ground this winter. Bruno Fernandes scored twice in the victories over Uruguay and Ghana.
Although Eusebio inspired Portugal to finish third at the 1966 World Cup, they have never made it past the group stage of a major tournament. Two of their last three appearances ended in the knockout rounds.
Due to the ongoing speculation regarding the fitness of Cristiano Ronaldo, Santos must make his team selection for the upcoming match against South Korea in Lusail.
In the first season of the UEFA Nations League, Portugal faced off against Switzerland. In the first match, they secured a 4-0 victory in Lisbon, with goals from Ronaldo, Bruno Fernandes, and Helder Postiga. Then, in the second match, the Swiss came back with a narrow win in Geneva.
Since Switzerland hosted the World Cup in 1954, they have not been able to reach the quarterfinals. However, after defeating France in the European Championship last year, a well-rounded squad will be able to take advantage of the opportunities that come with reaching the knockout stage.

A new fileless ransomware has been discovered in the wild. This ransomware, titled SOREBRECT, injects malicious code into a valid system process (svchost.exe) on targeted systems and then self-destructs in order to evade detection by antivirus. This is unlike more generic "spray-and-pray" ransomware and has been designed to specifically target enterprise systems in various industries.
SOREBRECT also takes it a few steps further to cover its tracks and deletes the infected system's event logs (using wevtutil.exe) that can provide forensic information such as files executed on the system, including the timestamps. These deletions deter analysis and prevent SOREBRECT's activities from being traced.
This ransomware uses Microsoft's Sysinternals PsExec command-line utility to encrypt files after it has taken control of the machine. "PsExec can enable attackers to run remotely executed commands, instead of providing and using an entire interactive login session, or manually transferring the malware into a remote machine, like in RDPs," Trend Micro says.
SOREBRECT can also scramble the files of other computers connected to the infected machine through the local network. It scans the network for assets and open shares—folders, content or peripherals (i.e. printers) that others can readily access through the network. Once a live host is identified, it initiates a connection after discovering the shares. If the share has read-and-write access to it by the infected device, the share will also be encrypted.
SOREBRECT uses the Tor network protocol to anonymize its connection to its command-and-control (C&C) server.
According to Trend Micro, Sorebrect was initially targeting Middle Eastern countries like Kuwait and Lebanon, but since last month, this threat has started infecting machines in Canada, China, Croatia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Taiwan, and the U.S.
In February, Kaspersky researchers also discovered fileless malware that resided solely in the memory of the compromised computers, which was found targeting banks, telecommunication companies, and government organizations in 40 countries.
Restrict user write permissions: By creating and enforcing IT policies, permissions are limited for users that do not require them, reducing risk of infection. Additionally, reviewing the permissions for each user in the Domain is a good starting point. Our managed services provide IT support and administration services, therefore Clients may open a ticket to request a review of folder permissions and shares as often as required.
Limit privilege for PsExec: PsExec is commonly used in enterprise networks, that provides system administrators flexibility with how they interact with remote machines – our managed services agents included. As a result, we are explicitly restricting PsExec execution policies. In addition, we have configured our scripts to set the PsExec to permissive levels on demand and setting the restrictions back upon completion.
Back up files: Cybercriminals use the potential loss of important and personal data as a fear tactic to coerce victims into paying the ransom. Therefore, backup is more important than ever. This is why our managed services support plans include a backup and disaster recovery solution.
Keep the system and network updated: Leaving network systems on auto-pilot is one of the worst decisions a company can make, especially when the company relies on its technology to do business. QWERTY Concepts managed services are designed for companies with and without internal IT personel, therefore we ensure redundant tasks are performed and notify those accountable when issues arise.
Foster a cybersecurity-aware workforce: User education and awareness helps improve everyone's security posture. Like other malware, ransomware's points of entry is typically through email and malicious downloads or domains. Organizations should conduct regular training to ensure that employees have a solid understanding of company security policy, procedures, and best practices.
Deploy multilayered security mechanisms: As ransomware matures in the threat landscape, we can only expect it to diversify in terms of attack methods and targets. There is no silver bullet for ransomware, which is why enterprises need a defense-in-depth approach to security where proactive security mechanisms are arrayed. At QWERTY Concepts, we continuously test and improve our security solutions. Additionally, our managed services includes an enterprise-level security appliance and content filtering as well many other endpoint security solutions.

A homemade chocolate is a special way of telling your dear ones that you love them a lot. Chocolates, that too home made makes an excellent gift for your friends or family. This simple recipe is from a television show which I had noted it down long time back. I have tried this recipe several times and love it very much. My favorite is nutties as I love chocolate and nuts combination. Today let us learn how to make chocolates and nutties at home following this easy chocolate recipe.
Dissolve liquid glucose in 2-3 tsp of cold water nicely. It is the ingredient used to set the chocolate.
Mix cocoa powder in a little milk and keep it aside.
Grease a plate with butter and keep it aside.
Take a kadai or pan and mix all the ingredients well first. (condensed milk, cocoa powder mixed with milk, butter, sugar and liquid glucose).
Then switch on the heat and keep on stirring it on medium heat until it leaves the sides of the pan. Look at the picture below. The important point to be noted here is that the dough should not stick to your hands.
Take a small amount of chocolate dough, flatten it in your hands, place half an almond inside it and roll it into a smooth ball. You will get chocolate nutties.
Go one more step further if you like - Roll them in coarsely powdered cashew nuts to make it even more delicious.
Or you can insert a plastic lolly pop stick to the nutties and make chocolate lollipops.
Note - It will set in room temperature and need not be refrigerated and it will not melt if kept outside.
Shelf life and storage - Store it in an air tight container. Stays good for 7-10 days.
Enjoy this Valentine's Day by making this easy Heart shaped Chocolate.
i was searching recipe to make homemade chocolates & i find urs :).. its really nice padhu what if i don't have glucose? how does it actually help?
Liquid glucose is used to help the chocolate set well and hold shape even at room temperature.
lovely recipe.the chocolates look divine!
wonderful recipe,thxs for sharing it!!
This is cool, wud luv to try this out..
amazing recipe ...looks just like the ready made ones...just wondering where will i find liquid glucose in blre ??
Those are perfect.... a great idea to take heart away this Valentine's Day!
They are absolutely yummy treats :) I just love the way u garnish the food.
These chocolates look so tempting. A great recipe.
Thank u so much for the recipe padhu... definitely wil try this for this Vday... :D What can i substitute liuid glucose with...??
Wow - love the chocolate hearts...I must try this recipe soon. Just need to find the Chocolate moulds.
where can u get liquid glucose?
Awesome chocolates! Having a small doubt. Can we use the butter that we make at home utilised to prepare ghee? Unsalted butter from the market is expensive as well as difficult to procure.
You can any unsalted butter.
i too couldn't find liquid glucose in hyderabad.
can you please help me out with that.i got all others.
Can liquid glucose be prepared at home?
how do i get liquid glucose.... Can i mix glucon-d powder with water to get liquid glucose????
Liquid glucose is actually confectionery glue. You will get in all shops which sells baking goods.
Liquid glucose is confectionery glue. It prevents the chocolate from melting at room temperature. I do not know of any replacement.
Hi padhu, I really liked your recipe. I just want to know, can I add roasted almonds to the dough even if I want to place it in the plastic moulds?
Of course you can, it will be even more tasty. But chop roasted almonds and then add. I had problems with my net connection, so could not reply to you immediately.
Hi Padhu. Im busy making this now but it's not coming together in the pan, it's very liquidy! Followed the recipe to the tee. Please help!
Zee - It is liquid glucose (confectionary glue)which hold the chocolate together and prevents it from melting at room temperature .You should mix liquid glucose with just little water (may be around 2-3 tsp). I think you should have added more water.
Ruchi - It is liquid glucose which helps the chocolate to set. So if you avoid that, the chocolate will not set. You will get liquid glucose in shops where you get baking products. There is a totally different recipe in which you prepare sugar syrup and add cocoa powder which I have not yet posted. Liquid glucose is a must for this recipe.
Dear padhu for how many minutes should I cook the mixture. I followed the exact same recipe and taste wise it's superb but the chocolates have turned out bit harder.
If the chocolate is harder, I assume that you have overcooked it. Once it starts to leave the sides of the pan, you can switch it off. Grease your fingers with ghee and touch the mixture slightly after it cools a little, if it does not stick to your fingers, then it is perfect.
Milk.I want to make perfect chocolates.I want 20 heart shape chocolates means I need to buy 20 heart shape plastic moulds is it correct padhu..
Padhu, only 1/4tsp of liquid glucose will be enough to hold the chocolate firmly?
The liquid glucose helps in binding and prevents it from melting.

If y'all haven't noticed by now, this top literally gives me life. It is so perfect and summery and trendy, I can't even. And that price tag……it is a no brainer. I could definitely see it being a Labor Day weekend look with an added red lip and we are THERE people. On day two of #TBScon, we had amazing speakers and the networking suite, so I knew the outfit needed to be memorable but also comfortable. The only thing that made this look over the top was the braid from the Loreal booth I got when we were in the networking suite. How much fun is it?! And given the opportunity to have anyone play with my hair is a no brainer for me! Thanks gals!
How sick?!? I have never had anyone try a fishtail-type braid, honestly because I didn't think my hair was long enough to try, but I am so going to be attempting this one in my spare time and hopefully y'all will see more braids from me in the future. I love figuring out new things I can do, and while I will never claim to be an expert in hair, I do love experimenting.
Last but not least…can we chat about this necktie. Y'ALL…this is literally the best impulse purchase I have ever made. I was at Madewell the weekend before packing for #TBScon and I was trying to find accessories that could take items I already had in my closet and create more of a "styled" look. I debated the tie for about 15 minutes in the store before strutting to the cash wrap and get it. Man am I glad I did! I got so many compliments on it, and I have definitely worn it too many times since then.
Lesson learned, that y'all should learn too, is to take those risks. Don't ever think you can't pull something off before actually trying it! This necktie thing was definitely in my "too cool girl for me" folder, until I gave in to my impulse and tried it. So basically what I'm saying is run to Madewell and buy this necktie……DUH. But in all seriousness, I know there has to be a trend out there you are too scared to try, and I'm saying be like Nike and #JustDoIt.
If you need a push in that direction, girl, email me (thestylehunt@gmail.com) and I will talk you into it. Trust me, talk to any of my friends…I am the worst and best to shop with because I will convince you that you need "insert item here" and you will walk out with said item. Just lookin' out for my girls, and guys.
Loving the necktie paired with that off the shoulder top, so cute!
Love that necktie you matched with that top, it's adorable!
Omg I'm dying over that top!! Love how you styled it with the striped sandals. Going to have to recreate that pretty braid too.
YES!!! I have this top too and am obsessed – I seriously couldn't believe that the quality was so great given the awesome price tag! and the necktie – omg. You're killing it. LOVE. love love.
Too obsessed with you and this look – I need to get this top ASAP!
I've been meaning to try the necktie trend, and you are rocking it so well!! Love that oversized OTS top!
Obsessed with this outfit! You look fab.
I absolutely love this look! Think it was my favorite. Also your braid AH-Mazing!!!
It was so good meeting you in Charleston and this off the shoulder top is to die for!!
I just got this top!! It's so cute for the price!! You are totally rocking it. Love how you paired it with the white shorts and your pulled back.
This is very cute! Love the top and the neck scarf!!
Gorgeous outfit! The neck scarf and top are so fab together! I'm obsessed!

Not Just for Rooftops: A Look at Community Solar in Maine
Much of the discussion around solar policy focuses on rooftop solar. While rooftop solar is an option for certain homeowners with suitable rooftops and some extra cash in the bank (or the ability to obtain financing), rooftop solar is not available to a large segment of the population. Community solar offers the possibility of making solar panels accessible to a much larger group of interested investors. Because transaction costs and other "soft costs" make up a large portion of solar energy projects, community solar benefits from greater efficiencies and could reduce the payback period compared to smaller, single-owner projects.
Although Maine's community solar capacity has been slow to take off, since 2014 community solar farms have begun to crop up around the state. Several large projects are currently in the works, including a large project in China, Maine scheduled for completion this fall.
Below is an overview of how community solar works in Maine.
Site Location/Size Limit: The first step is to find a host for the panels. Obviously, sunlight is a major factor in siting the project. Proximity to power lines may also be a factor and the ability to easily interconnect with the grid. Certain locations on the grid are more accessible to solar installations, as some areas may require grid upgrades before solar installations are workable. The PUC is currently considering changes to the interconnection procedures for small generators, which would likely impact community solar facilities.
Projects are currently limited to a total capacity of 660 kW.
Co-Ownership. Unlike many solar projects that involve third-party ownership with corresponding power purchase agreements, all community solar projects require actual co-ownership. One potential downside of the ownership requirement is that solar panels require a large up-front investment. Although financing may be available for some investors, the up-front costs may be an insurmountable obstacle for others.
Net Metering. Community solar projects generate electricity that is then fed into the electric grid. The community solar participants are electricity users connected to that same grid, albeit in different locations. Under what is sometimes referred to as "virtual net metering" community solar participants receive a credit on their electric bills for the amount of electricity generated in proportion to their investment in the project. Participants may bank unused credits and apply them against their usage over a 12-month period.
Meter Limit. Under Maine's community solar program, participation in community solar farms is capped at 10 meters. One advantage of community solar is that the benefits are portable, meaning if a participant moves they can continue to receive bill credits at a new meter. The only limitation is that the participants must be served by the same electric utility—CMP in Southern Maine, Emera Maine in Northern and Eastern Maine. (Consumer owned utilities are not required to allow net metering).
Tax Credits. The IRS has issued a private letter ruling that individual investors in an off-site, net-metered community solar project are eligible for federal income tax credits that are available to homeowners with rooftop panels. This is a critical incentive for solar investment and, with the extension of these tax credits through 2022, will play an important role in encouraging these projects.
PUC Docket. The PUC is currently reviewing net metering rules in Maine and any changes could have a direct impact on community solar. While net metering compensation is one of the biggest questions—whether solar continue to be compensated at the full retail rate of electricity or some lower rate—other questions are important for the future of community solar. Should the 10 meter limit be raised, or lowered? What about the size limit of 660 kW? Should the ownership requirement be eliminated to allow for third-party ownership? Will investors continue to be allowed to bank credits over a year-long period? Will existing projects be grandfathered or will the new rules apply to all existing facilities? The PUC may decide these questions or ultimately defer to the Legislature, which is likely to take another run at a solar bill next session.

To Write Love On Her Arms: A Life-Changing Mission
by April Hanna
For To Write Love On Her Arms, it all started with a single story posted to MySpace. Today, the organization often referred to as TWLOHA is a thriving nonprofit, fighting to end the stigma around mental health and encourage open conversation around mental illness, suicide prevention, and seeking treatment.
A History Of Hope
When To Write Love On Her Arms founder Jamie Tworkowski published a story that he authored to his MySpace page in 2006, he had no idea of the incredible impact it would have. Titled "To Write Love On Her Arms," Tworkowski's story detailed the previous week that he spent living with his friend, Renee Yohe. Yohe was struggling heavily with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide, and was denied entry into a local treatment center. In the week leading up to her entry, she stayed sober in order to be able to be accepted into the facility. Tworkowski learned about Yohe's life experiences and the events that led to her addiction and mental illness. In addition to posting the story he wrote, Tworkowski sold t-shirts in order to help pay for Yohe's treatment. The story went viral, along with the t-shirt's bold design. After realizing that the issues Yohe was struggling with resonated with so many people, Tworkowski discovered that there was a bigger purpose ahead of him. And thus, To Write Love On Her Arms, a nonprofit organization centered around mental health advocacy, was born.
Today, TWLOHA's work spans across a number of spaces in the mental health community, from funding the work of clinicians and treatment centers, to hosting a number of annual fundraising campaigns, to offering tangible resources for those seeking mental health support. Their website is a home base for finding support, self-care tips, mental health information, and ways to get involved in their work. Their FIND HELP tool that was developed in 2018 provides users with community-based sources of support tailored to one's specific location and needs.
"Since launching our new FIND HELP tool in September of 2018, we've seen 53,000 searches made by people seeking out local mental health resources," shared the nonprofit organization. "For every 4 searches, 1 person takes the next step by making an appointment with a counselor or connecting to a crisis helpline."
To date, TWLOHA has donated over 2.4 million dollars to treatment and recovery, and has sponsored over 3,000 individual counseling sessions. They also hold on average 195 events a year that are dedicated to spreading TWLOHA's mission and providing resources to those struggling. TWLOHA also hosts university chapters at 60 college campuses nationwide and launched a high school program for 150 schools in 2019.
TWLOHA has also had a powerful presence in the alternative music scene, holding their own informational booth at Warped Tour each year, along with various bands wearing their t-shirts on stage and advocating for their causes. Bands such as Paramore, Miley Cyrus, Panic! At The Disco, and Anberlin have all worn the organization's shirts on stage and championed their cause, among many others. Lead singer and guitarist Jon Foreman of Switchfoot is cited as the first performer to wear a TWLOHA shirt on stage. It even inspired a movie.
One of the organization's greatest milestones took place in 2011, when they won the first-ever American Giving Awards. They received a grant of 1 million dollars that TWLOHA invested directly into mental health treatment and recovery centers. Their win came from their supporters, as they received the highest amount of votes in an online poll against other nonprofits that were nominated for this prestigious award.
"Winning a million dollars on national television, confetti falling down, that's something I couldn't even have dreamed up. It was just amazing. It was the biggest moment in our history and the best night of my life," Tworkowski candidly shared after their win in an interview with Business Wire. "The $1 million grant from Chase instantly changes what the next year will look like for us. It will allow us to be more creative than ever before in bringing our message of hope and help to the world. It also allows us to invest in treatment and recovery more than ever before."
TWLOHA offers a variety of ways to get involved in their life-changing and life-saving work; their site serves as a great starting place. They offer options to donate monthly, or on an individual basis. They also provide ways to start fundraisers and spark open conversations about mental health in one's own community. The nonprofit also has a "Stream For TWLOHA" program where streamers can raise money by promoting donations on their digital platforms. TWLOHA also participates in a number of charitable walks in support of suicide prevention, ending the stigma around mental illness, and more.
TWLOHA's t-shirts and merchandise sold through their online shop still fuel their mission financially, with every sale going directly towards funding treatment and recovery services. Tworkowski hopes that their shirts and other merchandise with phrases such as "love is the movement," "you matter," and "better days are ahead" spark honest and organic conversation around mental health among both strangers and loved ones.
"We hear from people who say that they're still alive because of the work that we're doing," Tworkowski explained in an interview with Caring Magazine. "People who literally say, 'I wouldn't be here if not for your organization or your website.' The idea that we can do everything we can to communicate a message that tells someone that they matter and their life matters."

John Cena, Nikki Bella Would Go 'Months' Without Seeing One Another Before Split
By Anna Rumer - April 16, 2018 04:47 pm EDT
Absence sometimes doesn't make the heart grow fonder, at least not in the case of Nikki Bella and John Cena, who announced they had ended their relationship and called off their wedding Sunday.
One month before the split, Cena spoke to Us Weekly about his relationship and admitted the two had to work hard at their relationship because they rarely saw one another.
"Anytime I get upset, I always just realize that I can't live without her and I love her and that's why I cave in on a lot of stuff. It takes being able to mesh two lives," he said in March. "She's super busy and sometimes we don't see each other for months at a time, but when we do see each other, it's our time and it's our time together. I think, for now at least, that is certainly what's making this work."
Cena and Bella first started dating six years ago, and got engaged in front of millions of fans at WrestleMania 33 in 2017. After planning to tie the knot on May 5 in Mexico, Bella announced the two had separated in a statement on Instagram.
"After much contemplation and 6 years of being together Nikki Bella and John Cena announced today their decision to separate as a couple," the statement reads. "'While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives.'"
While promoting the Kids' Choice Awards, which Cena hosted, he told Us Weekly that that their relationship was not always as perfect as it seemed.
"Relationships are hard, don't ever think that love is easy. Love is beautiful but we've had to come to the realization being together for five years that love is not easy and we work every day on us," he said. "We have our problems just like everybody else. Some of our problems are very public, some of them aren't. But we work every day on us."
After the split, a source close to the couple told the publication that it was Bella who called things off, and that she was unhappy with some of the things he had said while doing press for his new movie Blockers. The two had also clashed in the past over Cena's aversion to marriage and children.
"She's in a place where she's just exhausted by some of the things going on in the relationship. John is the love of her life [and] she adores him," the source said. "They still speak. It's just very hard. But right now, she has to focus on herself."

"Batman v Superman" Moves Release Date; DC Reveals More Dates
WeLiveFilm August 6, 2014 0 likes
by Justin Cook
When Marvel announced that Captain America 3 would be officially coming to theaters on May 6, 2016, many were shocked. People were not shocked because the film had been announced so quickly after the success of Captain America: The Winter Soldier, but because this would mean the film would be competing against Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice in its opening weekend. That's right, two of 2016's biggest movies were scheduled to come out on the same day. It became Marvel vs. DC in a game of chicken to see who would move the release date of their film first.
Today, DC has lost the game by moving Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice away from its original May 6, 2016 date to a new March 25, 2016 date. However,to keep themselves from looking weaker than Marvel, DC has also announced a slew of other release dates for future films.
The upcoming DC release dates look like this:
Untitled DC Film – 08/05/16
Untitled WB Event Film – 11/16/18
This news comes as a major surprise and it is certainly interesting to see that DC has definite plans for the future of their cinematic universe. Whether or not the films that will fill in these slots will be the ones announced by Nikki Finke, which included Shazam, Sandman, Wonder Woman, Flash/Green Lantern, and Man of Steel 2, remains to be seen.
On the news that Batman v Superman moved its release date, this comes as no surprise considering that the future of DC's cinematic universe rides on the success of the movie. Moving its release date was a move that had to be made, especially after Marvel said that Captain America 3 would not budge.

Nationality French
Name Alain Dassas
Born August 5, 1946 (age 69) (1946-08-05) Paris, France
Alma mater ESCP University of Paris (Ph.D. in Econometrics) Stanford University (MSM)
Occupation Member of the Board of Directors, Head of European Operations (SI Capital Partners) CFO (Segula Technologies) Permanent Representative for APG (ABP Fund) as an Independent Member of the Supervisory Board of Altarea SCA
Alain Dassas ([alɛ̃ dɑsɑ]) (born August 5, 1946) is a French businessman who held various positions within the Renault-Nissan Alliance and was one of the key participants in the agreements that led to its creation. He also negotiated several major contracts for the Renault F1 Team and was President of it between 2006 and 2007.
Early career and education
Renault F1
Beyond Renault Nissan Alliance
Dassas was born on August 5, 1946 in Paris, France. After obtaining a degree at the École Supérieure de Commerce de Paris, a postgraduate degree in Econometrics at the University of Paris and a Master in Management at the University of Stanford, he was hired by the Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City in 1973 and since then, he occupied various senior positions at different financial entities in both France and the United States.
In 1983, Renault hired Dassas to manage the company's financial offices in New York. In 1986, he was named Chief Operating Officer of the Société Financière et Foncière (Renault's bank). He also was assigned to manage relationships with banks and financial markets.In 1990, he became Financial Director of Renault Crédit International. In 1997 he was named Vice President, Financial Operations of Renault and participated in several key agreements for the future of the company, such as negotiations with Volvo AB, the joint venture with AvtoVAZ, the acquisition of a majority stake in Dacia and Renault Samsung Motors and the alliance with Nissan. In 2001, he was named Senior Vicepresident, Finance and in 2003 he joined the Board of Directors of Renault.
In 2010, he became a company's consultant.
Dassas played a major role during the purchase of Benetton Formula by Renault in 2000, which then would be called Renault F1 Team . Later, he was involved in financial negotiations with Bernard Ecclestone.
On April 3, 2006, Dassas replaced Patrick Faure as President of the team. During his first year Renault was one of the dominant forces in Formula One and won the constructors' and drivers' championships. In 2007, however, performance dropped significantly and on September 4 of that year Dassas left his charge and was replaced by Bernard Rey.
In 1999, Dassas was a member of the Board of Directors of Nissan Diesel.
On September 4, 2007 it was announced his transfer to Nissan as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), a position which became effective on September 17. The objectives of this measure were to fill a position that had been vacant four years (since Thierry Moulonguet's departure) and improving relations with the world of finance, because the price of the shares of Nissan had been steadily dropping.
On October 5, 2009 the Yokohama-based automaker announced that on December 1 Dassas would leave his post, returning to France, being replaced as CFO by Joseph G. Peter.
Beyond Renault-Nissan Alliance
As of 2010, Dassas is CFO of Segula Technologies. He is also a member of the investment company Strategic Initiatives' Board of Directors, and its Head of European Operations.
He is a Permanent Representative for APG (ABP Fund) as an Independent Member of the Supervisory Board of Altarea SCA.

International adoptions - Q&A (24 November 2022)
Q: What is the Quai d'Orsay's reaction to the activities of some international adoption bodies?
A: The allegations concerning the practices of some [French] authorized adoption bodies (OAAs) as regards international adoptions are old. It is for the judicial authority, not the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, to decide on possible action to be taken.
Adoption procedures supported by the accredited adoption bodies, and the way they operate, are strictly controlled today by the services of the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs to ensure that they conform to the requirements set by international agreements and French law.
An OAA has just had its accreditation withdrawn in this way, on 24 October, by a decree published in the Journal officiel on 26 October. The decision was taken following a violation of the rules which apply under the Hague's 1993 Adoption Convention, which governs international adoption and which France is a party to.
The Government is particularly sensitive to the prevention and remediation of illegal international adoption practices. On 8 November 2022 it launched an inter-ministerial inspection mission on illegal international adoption practices in order, firstly, to identify past alleged illegal practices to prevent them from happening again and, secondly, to respond to requests from adoptees and civil society. Formed from the three inspection bodies of the ministries concerned – the General Inspectorate of Foreign Affairs, the General Inspectorate of Justice and the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs –, the mission will present its findings in six months.
Furthermore, without waiting for the mission's recommendations, the Ministry has been actively involved in drafting the legislative reforms which took place in January 2022 and now strengthen the ethical safeguards in international adoption, with two strong measures: a ban on single-parent adoptions and tighter controls on operators. OAA authorizations and accreditations are now time-restricted, allowing the authorities to regularly and scrupulously review the way they operate. The implementing decree for the Act of 21 February 2022 on the regulation of OAAs, which is being finalized, will allow the Government to further raise the level of requirement expected from operators, as much in terms of legal powers as their ability to lend support to families.
On 22 and 23 November 2022, the Ministry convened all international adoption stakeholders to make them aware again of the risks of illegal international adoption practices and ways of remedying irregularities which may have occurred in the past. All the bodies were reminded of the level of requirement expected for the renewal of authorizations and accreditations expiring in February 2024.

If you have XP Home then you will need access to a computer with XP Home etc. If your PC did not come with a Windows installation disc or if you no longer have your Windows setup media, you can use Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows instead. When it detects any pending change, System Restore immediately makes backup copies, called restore points, of these critical components before the change occurs. System Restore runs in the background as a service and continually monitors system-critical components for changes.
Of course, you must first boot the system with the Windows XP CD and access the Recovery Console as described in #4. When it finds the previous installation, you'll see a second Windows XP Setup screen, as shown in Figure C . Can you tell me what to do from here?
