Do You Need A Earthly Church Pastor And If So Do You Need The Right Earthly Church Pastor To Make It To Heaven ??
Absolutely NOT. All we need is Christ who abides with us as His Holy Spirit within our human consciousness.
We are not in need that man teach us by and through a limited understanding.
Once we have matured enough to know that Christ resides in us by way of the Holy Spirit, we no longer need to depend on the things of man to teach us..We now know that He is/always was our teacher,our guide, our everything..

New National Manufactured Housing Association Makes Its Appeal to Industry Members
October 17th, 2018 soheyla	Comments off
"The greatest hindrance and the greatest threat to the industry is not the economy, the homes or the communities, it is governmental interference and over-regulation," said Neal T. Haney.
"The manufactured housing industry has long been a mainstay of affordable housing in the United States. For decades the industry has provided an unmatched quality of life with an affordability not seen in any other sector of the housing market. The homes and the land lease communities in which they are situated have become fixtures across the country providing an affordable, quality lifestyle to all segments of our population. Over the years it has seen its ups and downs, but has been able to survive and even thrive through the difficult times," said Haney, the president of the newly formed National Association of Manufactured Housing Community Owners, Inc. – or NAMHCO.
We've been reporting on the emergence of a new association for community owners, in articles like the ones linked further below. It is a move that the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has been encouraging for years.
Study Recommending New Manufactured Housing Association for Independent Retailers, Communities, Lenders, Others Released
Now, that new NMHCOA association is taking shape. Their organizers are making their appeal in writing.
"The Manufactured Housing Communities of Arizona (MHCA) is a statewide association representing community owners in Arizona. As state associations do, the MHCA has been very active and productive at the state level in combatting governmental interference with its burdensome regulations and obstacles," said Haney, as he walked through some history. "At the state level most community owner associations have been able to not only monitor proposed local and statewide legislation, but interact with legislators to prevent onerous regulations that are detrimental to our industry."
'No Effective National Representation'…
"The national legislation and rule making over the last ten years has proven that we do not have that representation" at the federal level, Haney explained. "One only has to look at the passage of the Safe Act and the Dodd-Frank Act to see how devastating and onerous national legislation can be. Other similar chattel groups (the RV industry) saw the proposals and their representation managed to have them exempted."
It was a devastating finger pointed at the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI), which two state community associations broke from last year, due to a lack of effective national representation. The group passed out literature at MHI's annual meeting.

To report a news tip, click the image above or send an email to iReportMHNewsTips@mhmsm.com – To help us spot your message in our volume of email, please put the words NEWS TIP in the subject line.
"The national organization to which we belonged [i.e. MHI] was apparently unaware of the legislation and its ramifications until after passage and it was already being implemented. The rule making in the aftermath has been horrendous and little if anything has been done to stop the bleeding," said Haney's letter.
Recently, HUD has issued rules concerning the screening of prospective tenants for our communities. Again we find no one aware of what is happening, much less advocating on our behalf. Installation requirements are being implemented that have no basis in common sense and the result will be additional burdens on community owners and added costs for homeowners," said Haney.
"We need someone to advocate on behalf of the community owners. This singular task needs to be done at the congressional level and in the departments that make policy affecting our industry. Every community owner, and every association that is accepting membership dues from community owners, should be concerned with the lack of representation at the national level and should be involved in finding adequate representation. If you are willing to be a part of the solution, please contact our association office." Haney pointed to Susan Brenton, who has served the Arizona community owners for several years.
Brenton previously worked with resident groups in her state, so she is aware of the dynamics on both sides of that fence.
Brenton's contact information is: 2158 N, Gilbert Rd., Suite 116, Mesa, AZ 85203, 480-966-2446 • suebrenton@me.com.

Q: Export Google Sheet as .xlsx and send file to server My company manages non-confidential information in a Google Sheet. Every day, I export that sheet to .xlsx format and then upload it to various services for data syndication.
Normally, such a process could be automated using the "Publish to Web" feature. But for security reasons, that option is locked for all users.
I do have full permissions for Google Apps Script, though. So, I'd like to write a script for this. The particulars don't matter. Somehow, I need to export the sheet on a schedule and send it to an AWS server, where it can be automatically retrieved.
At the AWS side, I can easily set up an email server, FTP server, rclone, whatever. I just need to figure out what to do on the Google side first.
Can this be done?
What I have tried so far:
Export a Google Sheet to Google Drive in Excel format with Apps Script
function makeCopy() {
  var formattedDate = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "CET", "yyyy-MM-dd' 'HH:mm");
  var name = "Backup Copy " + formattedDate;
  var destination = DriveApp.getFolderById("1vFL98cgKdMHLNLSc542pUt4FMRTthUvL");

  // Added
  var sheetId = "2SqIXLiic6-gjI2KwQ6OIgb-erbl3xqzohRgE06bfj2c";
  var url = "https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/" + sheetId + "/export?format=xlsx&access_token=" + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken();
  var blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url).getBlob().setName(name + ".xlsx"); // Modified
  destination.createFile(blob);
}

--- OR ---
function convertSheetToXLSX() {
  var sheetId = "2SqIXLiic6-gjI2KwQ6OIgb-erbl3xqzohRgE06bfj2c";
  var spreadsheetName = "My Spreadsheet";
  var destination = DriveApp.getFolderById("1vFL98cgKdMHLNLSc542pUt4FMRTthUvL");
  var url = "https://docs.google.com/feeds/download/spreadsheets/Export?key=" + sheetId + "&exportFormat=xlsx";
  var params = {
    method      : "get",
    headers     : {"Authorization": "Bearer " + ScriptApp.getOAuthToken()},
    muteHttpExceptions: true
  };
  var blob = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url, params).getBlob();
  blob.setName(spreadsheetName + ".xlsx");
  destination.createFile(blob);
}

I have tried these scripts from the URL posted above but it results in "An unknown error has occurred, please try again later."

A: Take a look at this thread. It is about sending a spreadsheet in PDF format, but if you just change the ExportOptions to xlsx, you should be able to make it.

As we discussed earlier this month in our blog, 2019 is going to be a big year for solar. If you're a Massachusetts homeowner or business, who has been considering making the switch to renewable solar energy, this is the year to finally install those solar panels.
You may remember our mention of the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and how 2019 marks the year to take advantage of the maximum benefits it offers. We often get questions about this valuable tax incentive, so we're taking a moment to explain how Massachusetts homeowners and business owners can take advantage of the solar tax credit before it's too late.
The Solar Investment Tax Credit, also known as the federal solar tax credit, was last extended back in 2015 to give more Americans access to the valuable benefits of clean solar energy. Through this tax credit, home and business owners who install a residential or commercial system can deduct 30% of the cost of their system from what they owe in federal taxes.
For a maximum return on your solar investment, it makes sense to schedule your solar PV system installation for this year to take advantage of the full incentive.
Let's say you're a homeowner who is planning to install a system which costs $20,000. After the 30% federal tax credit, the net system cost would be just $14,000 (and that's without taking statewide SMART incentives into account!) If, on the other hand, you were to install your system next year in 2020 and thus receive only a 26% tax credit, the net system cost would be higher — $14,800.
Why wait to install your system when you could earn more money in federal tax incentives and start enjoying the economic benefits of solar sooner?
2) Obtain and fill out an IRS Form 5695.
3) Add your renewable energy credit information to your typical IRS Form 1040.
Taking advantage of the federal solar tax credit is simple, especially with a solar contractor like Boston Solar at your side. As the #1 residential solar installer based in Massachusetts, we've helped homeowners all across the Bay State from the south shore to the north shore and from Cape Cod out to the Pioneer Valley understand how to take advantage of this valuable tax incentive.
Schedule your solar electric system installation while the max 30% tax credit incentive is still in effect! Call 617-858-1645 or contact us to begin your solar project with a free quote.

The Testament of Sherlock Holmes review
According to the plot of the game The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Free Download, we have to unravel a number of crimes again. At first glance, all crimes do not seem to be interconnected, but as the plot progresses, the motives of the crime begin to intertwine with each other. The sixth part of the game differs from the previous ones by the fact that Sherlock Holmes is suspected of committing crimes.
Over the course of the game, not only Sherlock Holmes, but also his assistant, Dr. Watson, have to be controlled. The characters are managed by the mouse and keyboard.
The gameplay itself is not much different from the usual quest games. During the game heroes will have to inspect the terrain for evidence, communicate with witnesses, suspects and other characters, interact with objects. Sherlock surveys the world around him and investigates the evidence using his deductive method, which is embodied in this game through a mini-game. The game process is from the first person, but there is the possibility to switch to the camera from a third party. This feature has become an innovation of the 6th part of the game.
The highest level of game graphics, a detailed world and the atmosphere of the game accurately convey London of the 19th century. Screenshots

Experience the Height of Japanese Hospitality at Tokyo's Safest and Most Luxurious Travel Destinations
Providing luxury is about extravagance and going above and beyond while maintaining safety is quiet and restrained, but leave it to Tokyo - a megalopolis that uniquely fuses completely opposite concepts like tradition and innovation - to find creative ways to pamper visitors with high-end shopping, dining and accommodations while also guaranteeing their safety and continued health. Here's how the ever-vibrant city does it.
Credit: David Jaskiewicz, Shiitake Creative
Sunlight glints off the glass-smooth façade of a futuristic tower rising high into the sky, while a dolphin-nosed bullet train glides seamlessly out of a train station.Meanwhile, not far away, crowds flow past traditional sweet stalls before passing through the vermillion gates of a centuries-old Buddhist temple into swirls of incense smoke.Tokyo. The Japanese capital is a city that has long been celebrated for its seamless urban fusion new with old, innovation with tradition, the future with the past. The end result is an ever-evolving megalopolis with a dynamic cocktail of facets to explore, from world-class modern architecture and ancient cultural sights to cutting-edge shopping and once-in-a-lifetime dining.Despite its mind-boggling proportions, it's also a city that works; it is safe, punctual, and surprisingly easy to get around—not to mention clean (it's notable that the word kirei means both clean and beautiful in Japanese). A respect for cleanliness is entrenched in Tokyo life; bowing is favored above shaking hands, shoes are removed at home entrances, hands are washed at the threshold of shrines and, at the moment, it's nigh-impossible to find anyone without a mask in public.Tokyo's establishments take COVID rules very seriously, with a classically Japanese-style attention to detail. Restaurants are widely spreading out customers, often with fewer tables and clear table dividers, plus QR code menus and paper mask holders. Advance reservations also ensure that most art galleries and museums are crowd-free, while hand cleaner remains ubiquitous in almost every doorway, from five-star hotels to supermarkets.As visitors once again start flying into Tokyo's well-connected airports from major cities around the world, what lies ahead for them is a once-in-a-lifetime experience magically fusing the old with the new—and which is as safe as it is memorable.
Hand sanitizer machines set up around the hotel match
the building's sleek design.
The words "urban paradise" and "Buddhist temple" don't often appear in the same sentence—unless you happen to be describing the 31st floor lobby of The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon.The new hotel, Japan's first EDITION (a second opens soon in Ginza), has not only shaken up Tokyo's luxury scene, spurred on by its two creators, maverick New York hotelier Ian Schrager and architect Kengo Kuma—it's also a textbook perfect example of how the capital's top-tier establishments are combining style with safety.Tokyo has long been renowned for the star quality of its dazzlingly deluxe hotels—and it's a world that has adjusted to the "new normal" of a global pandemic in typically smooth style.This should come as little surprise to anyone familiar with the city hotels' legendary mastery of omotenashi—that near intuitive (and exquisitely Japanese) hospitality skill of knowing exactly what guests want, often before they know it themselves. As a result, hotels across the capital have installed a plethora of anti-COVID measures which are as rigorous, efficient and innovative as they are thoughtful and discreet.One stellar example is The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon, located in the upper levels of a skyscraper in sleek business hub Toranomon. Its heartbeat emanates from the lobby; an open-plan layout inspired by Buddhist temple courtyards—including a whole Garden Terrace on the 31st floor—is flooded with 500-plus plants, from sword ferns to alocasia. Among the floating foliage is a white marble bar, featuring intimate cocoons of window-side seating with diaphanous curtains and glowing decanters, as well as the scalloped velvet seating of The Blue Room (with cartoon-like close-ups of Tokyo Tower and global-meets-local cuisine).
©EDITION
The moment guests enter the hotel, anti-COVID measures kick into play: not confined to simple temperature screening and hand washing, a whole new contactless world of checking in unfolds. Guests can swap face-to-face interactions with an app, which enables contactless check in with a mobile key via their phone—with countless other activities also available at the press of a button (even in-room dining can be ordered on phones) plus free hand cleaner and masks in all rooms.The 206 guestrooms offer a serene respite from a pandemic world, with minimalist expanses of light oak panels and simple gold leaf artworks, along with the unforgettable classic Tokyo skyscraper views (best savored in 15 popular guest rooms boasting the ultimate luxury: private terraces with plenty of fresh air).It's a seamless marriage of luxury with safety, as embraced by many establishments across the capital—making a hotel stay in Tokyo feel perhaps even more memorable than ever before.
It's a microcosm of nature on a plate: on a plateau of wood sits a bucolic scattering of wild grasses, soil made from charcoal and moss elementally recreated from chlorophyll taken from spinach, alongside a bamboo cup containing the essence of cedar and oak.This mesmerizing creation, a signature dish fusing tradition with innovation by world-famed chef Yoshihiro Narisawa, is one of countless gastronomical delights which visitors to Tokyo can currently enjoy across the capital—in surroundings that are as safe as they are atmospheric.Tokyo is nirvana for foodies, with a world-famous culinary scene celebrated for being as cutting edge and high quality as it is sensitively seasonal. And reassuringly for food-lovers, pandemic safety measures are now executed as superlatively as the food served up on plates (or, in this instance, wood) in the city's top restaurants.Luxury restaurants have been quick to embrace innovations to keep their culinary creations alive and their venues safe—from reduced tables and staggered dining to the most stringent of hygiene measures for guests and staff alike.
Narisawa, a chef deeply inspired by Japan's traditional rural landscape of forests, mountains and seas, is no exception. At his sleek eponymously-named restaurant in Aoyama—a regular figure on World's Best Restaurant lists—Satoyama Scenery is one of a number of Narisawa's signature creations, fusing tradition with innovation, which have been served to guests throughout the pandemic (others range from Bread of the Forest, which rises by candlelight; to Gion Festival, with petal-strewn eggplant evoking Kyoto's famous summer celebration).For all his artistic gastronomy, Narisawa's cuisine is rooted in Japan's respect for the seasons and a timeless passion for sustainability; he sources food directly from 200-plus producers across the country, from a Kamo eggplant harvested in Kyoto for just one month a year to Okinawan sea snake from southern subtropical waters.
The restaurant employs various methods to ensure safety, from hand sanitizer to paper envelopes to protect guests' masks.
All of which can be enjoyed in superlative comfort and safety: as at many top restaurants across the capital, anti-COVID measures are stringent, from temperature checks, hand washing, and reduced tables for social distancing to the discreet (and very hygienic) paper envelopes inside which guests can place their face masks while eating.Another treat? Narisawa is one of a growing number of top-tier Tokyo chefs who have started offering luxurious take-out services since the pandemic unfolded—enabling food lovers to enjoy the highest quality culinary creations from the comfort and safety of private homes or hotel guestrooms for the first time.It's just one welcome innovation (among many) to have become the new normal on Tokyo's colorful restaurant scene, confirming to global food-lovers that the Japanese capital remains firmly on the culinary map—and is both safe and as alluring as ever.

Copper tea tins made by Kyoto artisans. Organically glazed teacups from the crafts-rich Gifu region. Soft striped towels from world-famous textile hub Imabari. And hand-stitched leather totes from southern Kagoshima.Located on the second floor of Spiral, Spiral Market is nirvana for modern Japanese design lovers. From ceramics and cutlery to scarves and notepads, it's a one-stop wonder with a meticulous curation of crafted goods made by contemporary artisans and designers across the archipelago.Shopping in Tokyo—a temple to all things retail—has long been in its own gold-star league. A glorious mix of retail choices is available across the spectrum—from avant-garde Japanese fashion to exquisite hand-crafted kitchen knives (plus everything imaginable in between)—all topped with a dose of flawless hospitality.And now, one more layer has been added to Japan's seductive retail world: an unwavering repertoire of anti-COVID measures, to ensure shopping in Tokyo remains as safe as it is inspiring.
All guests are required to wear masks and sanitize their hands before entering, a policy enforced by shops all over Tokyo.
A textbook perfect example is the Spiral building, an art complex near Omotesando that features various shops (Spiral Market among them), restaurants, and exhibition spaces as well as a modern tearoom, yoga studio, and beauty salon.As replicated in countless shops across the capital, anti-COVID measures are discreetly implemented throughout, with all visitors required to disinfect hands and wear masks. Guests are asked to limit the number of people permitted per elevator, while doors and windows are kept open and the ventilation system ensures proper air circulation in and out of the facility.All of this creates a safe, relaxing, and comfortable backdrop for exploring Spiral Market. Here, a diverse range of lifestyle goods—kitchen tools, bathroom products, stationary, fashion accessories—are unified by the key concept of "eternal design," perfectly reflecting Japan's mastery of balancing frills-free function with timeless construction.In a classic Tokyo touch of old meets new, many products appear contemporary but are rooted in centuries-old Japanese crafts techniques, such as porcelain made in historical kilns and textiles hand-woven at generations-old workshops.
Highlights of this high-rise menagerie include Spiral Garden, an art space that—as the name suggests—flows in a curved walkway around the interior of the building. Other must-visit spots include designer Akira Minagawa's fashion brand minä perhonen store, "call," on the fifth floor. The space, flooded with natural light, showcases a medley of global design finds (from ceramics to woodwork) alongside minä perhonen apparel and textiles.It's also home to an intimate café called ie no niwa, with pandemic-friendly outdoor as well as indoor seating, plus a small store packed with carefully sourced (and beautifully packaged) international and local food, treats, and natural wines.In short, it's the ultimate showcase for both the diversity of Japan's creative retail scene—as well as its adaptation to the new normal, reflecting how shopping in Tokyo today remains as rewarding and unique as it is safe and comfortable.

Inhale—and exhale. It's not all fast-paced in Tokyo, as reflected in one serene sanctuary hovering 37 floors above the ground in the Nihonbashi district: The Spa at Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo.Here, the peacefully luxe atmosphere feels a million miles from the urban flow of Tokyo as seen through walls of floor-to-ceiling windows: the toy-like cars at ground level, the sea of skyscrapers disappearing into the horizon and, on a clear day, Mount Fuji hovering in the distance.Perhaps best of all, the spa is as safe as it is serene: there is a responsible medley of anti-COVID measures in place, from temperature checking to social distancing (even the pens used to fill out consultation forms are painstakingly sanitized).
It's one of countless once-in-a-lifetime experiences that can be savoured in comfort, style and the utmost safety across Tokyo, from exquisite Kabuki performances at the Kengo-Kuma-designed national theater in Ginza to traditional tea ceremony while kneeling on tatami in exclusive only-in-the-know spots such as The Koomon.Inside the sleek modern spa at the Mandarin Oriental, Tokyo, it's all about relaxation of the most luxurious variety, from the crystal amethyst steam room and sky view sauna in the Heat & Water experience to a plethora of deeply restorative treatments.One particular scene-stealer is inspired by the city itself: Totally Tokyo-"Five" Journeys from Nihonbashi, a signature treatment that transports visitors on a sensory journey to mental and physical tranquility, using a seductive concoction of quintessentially Japanese elements such as green tea, pine, bamboo, and plum.
The unique shiatsu massage-based treatment is not only blissfully relaxing, it's also firmly rooted in the area's rich heritage. It was in Nihonbashi in the early 17th century that a shogun switched the capital from western Japan to east—and began creating a new city that would evolve into modern-day Tokyo.As reflected in the treatment's name, Nihonbashi was also where five major roads called the Gokaido began, connecting the new city to regional hubs and resulting in the area's reputation as the starting point of Tokyo.Anti-COVID measures go hand in hand with the luxury experience. The Mandarin Oriental's global anti-coronavirus "We Care" program is also in place throughout the hotel, as reflected in limited elevator numbers and liberally placed hand sanitizers.
It's all part of a responsible commitment—echoed at countless luxury venues across Tokyo—to ensure that visitors can still enjoy the best of what this perpetually pioneering city has to offer.From cloud-brushing skyscraper hotels and too-many-to-count internationally lauded restaurants to contemporary retail and luxury experiences, it's clear that Tokyo remains a number one destination, not only in terms of style and quality but—perhaps most importantly as a new era of travel dawns—particularly when it comes to safety and comfort.

Doctor Web identifies attack on WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business messengers installed on counterfeit Android devices
Doctor Web reports that it has discovered backdoors in the system partition of budget Android device models that are counterfeit versions of famous brand-name models. These trojans target arbitrary code execution in the WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business messaging apps and can potentially be used in different attack scenarios. Among them is the interception of chats and the theft of the confidential information that could be found in them; this malware can also execute spam campaigns and various scam schemes. This, however, is not the only risk factor for users. The affected devices are claimed to have a modern and secure Android OS version installed on them. But, in reality, they are based on an obsolete version subject to multiple vulnerabilities.
In July, several users contacted Doctor Web's anti-virus laboratory with complaints about suspicious activity on their Android smartphones. In particular, Dr.Web Anti-Virus was detecting changes in the system storage area as well as the appearance of the same malware in the system partition. These incidents are united by the fact that the attacked devices were copycats of famous brand-name models. Moreover, instead of having one of the latest OS versions installed on them with the corresponding information displayed in the device details (for example, Android 10), they had the long outdated 4.4.2 version.
At least 4 smartphone models were affected:
«P48pro»
«radmi note 8»
«Note30u»
«Mate40»
The names of these models are consonant with the names of some of the models produced by famous manufacturers. This, coupled with the false information about the installed OS version, de facto allows us to consider these devices as fakes.
Thanks to the system partition integrity-monitoring function and the ability to track file changes in this partition, Dr.Web Anti-Virus detected changes in the following objects:
/system/lib/libcutils.so
/system/lib/libmtd.so
The object libcutils.so is a system library, which is harmless by design. However, it has been modified in such a way that when it is used by any application, a trojan from the libmtd.so file is launched. Dr.Web detects the modified version of this system library as Android.BackDoor.3105.
The libmtd.so trojan library was dubbed Android.BackDoor.3104, in accordance with Doctor Web's classification system. The actions it performs are based on which program is using the libcutils.so library (i.e., which of the apps actually led to the backdoor execution through this library). If WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business messengers or "Settings" and "Phone" system apps are using it, Android.BackDoor.3104 proceeds to the second stage of infection. Here, the trojan copies another backdoor into the directory of the appropriate app and launches it. This malware was added to the Dr.Web virus database as Android.Backdoor.854.origin. The main functionality of this component is downloading and installing additional malicious modules.
To download modules, Android.Backdoor.854.origin connects to one of several C&C servers, sending a request with a certain array of technical data about the device. In response, the server sends a list of plugins that the trojan will download, decrypt and run. The danger of the discovered backdoors and the modules they download is that they operate in such a way that they actually become part of the targeted apps. As a result, they gain access to the attacked apps' files and can read chats, send spam, intercept and listen to phone calls, and execute other malicious actions, depending on the functionality of the downloaded modules.
If the wpa_supplicant system app (which controls wireless connections) was involved in the trojan's launch, Android.BackDoor.3104 starts a local server. It allows a remote or local client to connect and operate in the "mysh" console application, which must first be installed on the device or initially present in its firmware.
The most likely source of the malicious apps discovered in the system partition of the attacked devices could be a member of the Android.FakeUpdates trojan family, which has been known about for many years. Malicious actors embed them into various system components, like firmware updating software, the default settings app or the component responsible for the system graphical interface. While in operation, these trojans execute various Lua scripts that they particularly use to download and install other software. It is just such a trojan—Android.FakeUpdates.1.origin—that has been discovered on one of the targeted smartphones.
To avoid the risk of becoming a victim of these and other malicious programs, Doctor Web recommends that users purchase mobile devices in official stores and from reputable distributors. Using an anti-virus and installing all available OS updates is also important.
Dr.Web Security Space for Android successfully detects and (if root access is available) neutralizes the above-described trojans, curing infected devices, so these malicious apps do not pose a threat to our users.

4. Linkedin has added an updates tab where you can search for mentions of a word or phrase, It can also be accessed directly by going to http://linkedin.com/signal.
5. One of the biggest dangers developing with the use of social media is the propogation of erroneous data. Don't believe, share, or act on data simply because it was posted somewhere. Ask the right questions.
6. Cusomers are willing to give up some privacy in exchange for value. Provide valuable information or tools, and you can build your contact list.
7. A blog can be an incredibly powerful way to change how people think, if you know who you're addressing and what they need/want to know. Paying attention to your regular readers builds loyalty, too.
8. Customer questions make great blog content. Find sources for content ideas and plan ahead so you don't run out. Plan to post at least weekly, and more often if possible.
9. Engaging with influencers can exponentially increase your exposure. Audi invited Calvin Lee to drive the new car, schmooz with others in a party, and bring 7 of his friends. What resulted were blog posts, comments, retweets... The result was incredible.

In today's blog post we are going to explain TrustServista's core functionality: finding similar news articles and identifying visible and hidden links between them.
When performing an investigation on digital news it is crucial to determine the origin of every piece of information that is used to build up a story or create an article. This way, a journalist can easily verify if a news item is trustworthy or not and can subsequently create high-quality, trusted content.
In today's high-velocity digital media environment editors uses multiple source types when creating content: from on-the-field journalists, to news agencies feeds, press releases, other publications' articles and even social media posts from officials or politicians. Information can travel very fast, it can be referenced, altered and built upon until the original source is not visible anymore or even lost. Uncovering how articles use information and reference it is TrustServista's key functionality, the goal being to discover "patient zero", which is the origin of information. For example, more than often nowadays, politics- related articles in the US media are created using the President's Twitter messages as an information source.
In TrustServista, articles are part of the same story (or topic) if they are similar enough. Similarity is determined using complex proprietary algorithms that rely on text analytics. Articles are transformed into vectors of keywords, using entity extraction NLP techniques. These vectors are then used to create article clusters; in these clusters articles can be closer or farther from each other. The "closer" they are, the more chances the articles refer to the same topic and might be written using the same information.
In this type of situations, TrustServista will rely on its similarity algorithm to find the "closest" article on the reference's website to the current article, and link them. Thus, an article can be linked to several other sources, which are linked to other sources and so on.
Limiting this almost never-ending linking between articles is done using the similarity functionality. Articles can reference other articles that are not necessary part of the story; eliminating "noise" is important as to finding "patient zero", which needs to be both the oldest referenced articles from withing a story, but also needs to be "close"/similar enough to the current article to truly be considered the origin of information.

Millions of truckers from across the country have gone on an indefinite strike from today hence affecting supplies of essential items – vegetables, milk.
The strike has been called by the All-India Motor Transport Congress (AIMTC) demanding a slew of actions from government, including lowering diesel prices and toll fees.
AIMTC includes over 93 lakh truckers and around 50 lakh buses, tourist taxi and cab operators.
Truckers will stop rolling from 0600 hrs today and pegged the likely daily loss at Rs. 4,000 crore for them.
When contacted, an official close to Union Transport minister Nitin Gadkari's office said during the meeting, transporters were told that instant solutions cannot be found to their demands but assured them the government is looking at all the demands sensitively.
"We are very open to look into all their issues and hope that better sense prevails," the ministry official said.

Queen will be protected by a 2,500ft 'no-fly zone' over Windsor Castle with 'aircraft and drones banned and fighter jets scrambled for breaches' amid security fears at monarch's home
Aircraft and drones will be banned from passing within a 2,500ft altitude
Fighter jets will be scrambled if a plane breaches the zone and fails to respond
The move comes after Her Majesty was targeted at the palace on Christmas Day
Windsor Castle is set to be protected by a 'no-fly zone' amid fears about the Queen's security.
According to The Sun, aircraft and drones will be banned from passing within a 2,500ft altitude over the residence from January 27.
Fighter jets will also be scrambled if a plane breaches the zone and fails to respond to radio warnings.
The move comes after Her Majesty was targeted at the palace on Christmas Day by a crossbow-wielding man who was arrested inside the grounds of Windsor.
Since the coronavirus pandemic began, the Queen has spent nearly all of her time living in her private apartments at Windsor.
Windsor Castle is set to be protected by a 'no-fly zone' amid fears about the Queen's security
The Civil Aviation Authority reportedly said it is in the public interest to impose a ban.
Police will also be given more powers to halt illegal drones in the area. The new regulation is called a 'restriction of flying regulations under the Air Navigation Order'.
A man was arrested by police inside the grounds of Windsor Castle just minutes after Jaswant Singh Chail uploaded a video Snapchat in which he threatened to 'assassinate the Queen in revenge for the 1919 Amritsar massacre'.
He said: 'I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I've done and what I will do. I will attempt to assassinate Elizabeth, Queen of the Royal Family. This is revenge for those who have died in the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
'It is also revenge for those who have been killed, humiliated and discriminated on because of their race. I'm an Indian Sikh, a Sith. My name was Jaswant Singh Chail, my name is Darth Jones.'
The move to impose a no-fly zone over Windsor is reminiscent of the Queen Mother's demand to have similar measures imposed over her Scottish Highlands retreat so she could enjoy her afternoon nap in peace.

They royal, who was commandant-in-chief of the RAF Central Flying School, had bought the semi-derelict Castle of Mey in Caithnessas for £100 in 1952, intending to use it as a holiday home.
But official correspondence revealed in December last year that she raised a formal complaint on one of her yearly visits to the fortress and ordered one of her staff to contact the Ministry of Defence after low-flying jets disturbed her sleep, The Times reports.
Staff at the castle said Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother would take an afternoon nap at around midday after her first drink of the day – a mixture of one part gin and two parts fortified wine.

A letter dated August 12, 1993, eight days after the Queen Mother turned 93, confirmed the installation of a 'special protection' zone to not disturb the royal while she is in residence at the castle, near John O'Groats.
It reads: 'Following your telephone call yesterday about low flying over the Castle of Mey while HM the Queen Mother is in residence I thought it might be helpful to confirm the arrangements that have been made.
'The castle will receive special protection from low flying (which will extend to two nautical miles laterally and two thousand feet vertically) until the Queen Mother leaves on August 27.
'While we can give no guarantee that aircraft are not seen in the vicinity, this should ensure that Her Majesty is not disturbed… Similar arrangements can be made for future periods when the Queen Mother is in residence. I understand that this is usually during the month of August.'

After Pastor Garwood located this fabulous quotation from A. W. Tozer, it was but a small step for me to arrive at the following phenomenal essay as well. This was Tozer's final essay, published only a few days after he died in 1963. It could have been written this week and rings as true today as ever.
What I write here is not the sour ferment of a mind agitated by contentions with my fellow Christians. There have been no such contentions. I have not been abused, mistreated or attacked by anyone. Nor have these observations grown out of any unpleasant experiences that I have had in my association with others. My relations with my own church as well as with Christians of other denominations have been friendly, courteous and pleasant. My grief is simply the result of a condition which I believe to be almost universally prevalent among the churches.
I think also that I should acknowledge that I am myself very much involved in the situation I here deplore. As Ezra in his mighty prayer of intercession included himself among the wrongdoers, so do I. "O my God, I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee, my God: for our iniquities are increased over our head, and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens." Any hard word spoken here against others must in simple honesty return upon my own head. I too have been guilty. This is written with the hope that we all may turn unto the Lord our God and sin no more against Him.
Let me state the cause of my burden. It is this: Jesus Christ has today almost no authority at all among the groups that call themselves by His name. By these I mean not the Roman Catholics nor the liberals, nor the various quasi-Christian cults. I do mean Protestant churches generally, and I include those that protest the loudest that they are in spiritual descent from our Lord and His apostles, namely, the evangelicals. . . .
What we do is this: We accept the Christianity of our group as being identical with that of Christ and His apostles. The beliefs, the practices, the ethics, the activities of our group are equated with the Christianity of the New Testament. Whatever the group thinks or says or does is scriptural, no questions asked. It is assumed that all our Lord expects of us is that we busy ourselves with the activities of the group. In so doing we are keeping the commandments of Christ. . . .

The first question was the focus of the first trial and appeal by Oracle. Google asked the Supreme Court to decide this issue after losing the first appeal, but was rebuffed. The second question was the subject of the second trial, which Google won on a jury verdict and lost on Oracle's appeal to the Federal Circuit.
In the first appeal in this case the Federal Circuit reversed a decision by the trial judge and held that the declaring code was copyright protected, and therefore Google had engaged in copyright infringement. However, this conclusion was subject to Google's fair use defense, which the jury had hung on at the first trial. It therefore remanded the case to the district court for a second trial on fair use.
At the second trial the jury found that Google's copying was protected by fair use. However, Oracle appealed to the Federal Circuit again, and the Federal Circuit found that Google's copy of the declaring code was not protected by fair use. This decision was extremely controversial – it was the first time a federal appeals court has overruled a jury verdict on fair use.
With respect to the first question presented — whether copyright protection extends to a software interface — Google's current appeal focuses on the First Circuit's 1995 decision in Lotus v. Borland. In that case the First Circuit held that the menu command hierarchy in the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet program was a "method of operation," and therefore excluded from copyright protection under Section 102(b) of the Copyright Act.
That decision was the subject of an appeal to the Supreme Court. In 1996 the Court deadlocked 4-4, and as a consequence the First Circuit's decision was affirmed. However, due to the 4-4 deadlock it became law only in the First Circuit, not nationally. Lotus was an important decision at the time, but it has remained an outlier – no other court has fully adopted the holding in Lotus v. Borland.
Because the jury returned a general verdict on fair use, the Federal Circuit correctly stated that it "must assume that the jury resolved all factual issues relating to the historical facts in favor of the verdict." . . . But the Federal Circuit said one thing and did another: it reconsidered for itself a number of factual issues presented to the jury and resolved those issues in support of the conclusion that Google's use was unfair as a matter of law. . . . To permit that approach would condone an unprecedented degree of appellate second guessing of factual determinations in fair-use cases. This Court's intervention is urgently warranted to rectify the Federal Circuit's profoundly flawed approach.
I'm going to predict that the Supreme Court will accept review of this case on at least one of the two issues presented by Google. This case is of real importance to the software industry, and there is a good chance the Supreme Court will recognize that, as it did when it accepted review of Lotus v. Borland 24 years ago.
However, there are two issues lurking beneath the surface that could impact the Court's decision of whether to grant review. T'he first is the unusual procedural posture of the case. It came to the Federal Circuit because there were patent infringement claims at an earlier stage of the case. This required that any appeals — even an appeal of a non-patent issue — be directed to the Federal Circuit rather than to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, where the case was tried. However, Federal Circuit decisions that come to it from other circuits and do not involve patent law do not become the law in those circuits for purposes of legal precedent. This means that courts in the Ninth Circuit are not bound by the Federal Circuit's ruling in this case. This fact diminishes the impact of the "circuit split." It's a circuit split between the First Circuit (Lotus) and the Federal Circuit, which hears very few copyright cases, and a First Circuit/Federal Circuit "split" may be less significant than a First Circuit/Ninth Circuit split would have been.
The second issue is the position of the Solicitor General. When Google appealed the Federal Circuit's first decision the Supreme Court requested the Solicitor General's opinion on whether it should take the case. The Solicitor General advised against review at that time, noting that the case involved "substantial and important concerns" that should be addressed through the fair use doctrine. The fair use doctrine was the subject of the second trial, and it's likely the Supreme Court will ask for the Solicitor General's views again. The recommendation of the current Solicitor General's office on the issues in this case will be an important factor in the Court's decision whether to review the case.
These technicalities aside, this is a hugely important case for the U.S. software industry. We can only hope that that Supreme Court recognizes this, and decides to clarify the issues presented by the case.
Watch the first season of "Halt and Catch Fire" on Netflix if you'd like to see how this is done.
The relationship between the declaration and the implementing code is analogous to the interaction between a keyboard and a word-processing program. Just as a typist writes "a" by pressing a particular key, causing the word-processing program to display that letter, a developer triggers a particular function by using the relevant declaration to run the corresponding implementing code.
It's arguable whether there is a Sixth Circuit decision that agrees with Lotus v. Borland. Google points to Lexmark International, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc. (6th Cir. 2004) and ATC Distribution Group, Inc. v. Whatever It Takes Transmissions & Parts, Inc. (6th Cir. 2005) to include the Sixth Circuit on the side of the First Circuit in arguing there is a split, but neither case explicitly adopts Lotus as Sixth Circuit law.

Air New Zealand, Boeing, and Rolls-Royce plan a B747-400 biofuel demonstration flight in the second half of the year. The idea is to speed the development of viable and sustainable alternative fuels for commercial aviation.
The flight, probably from Auckland and without passengers, will have only one engine running on a blended bio fuel/kerosene mix. The other three will be powered by regular fuel.
ACTE (Association of Corporate Travel Executives) is matching IATA with its probably-doomed drive to stop governments introducing so-called 'green taxes'.
"None of the money from 'green taxes' has been reinvested in infrastructure and the travel industry is being targeted," says ACTE. We did not know that but are ready to believe it.
ACTE plans some specific moves to counter this trend – to be announced before year-end. This may be endorsing certain environmentally-sensitive hotels and airlines such as Virgin Atlantic and Air New Zealand, which have been vocal about biofuels.
"Weak air traffic control systems are taxing people for the privilege of flying around in circles," it adds.
AEA (Association of European Airlines), has attacked the Netherlands' decision to impose a travel tax on air passengers – US$16 (at US$1 to €0.70) for intra-Europe flights and a hefty US$64 for intercontinental.
The measure is expected to raise around US$500mn annually for the government. The government has presented the tax as an environmental measure, but the revenue will not be used for environmental purposes, or for infrastructure projects which could reduce aviation's impact on the environment.
The German Convention Bureau claims its first carbon-neutral general meeting, in July 2007. And the World Tourism Organization boasts that its upcoming meeting in Switzerland on travel and climate control will also be carbon-neutral.
The greenhouse gases caused by the events – by local energy consumption, delegate travel, catering, literature, etc – are offset by GCB with investments in a wind park project, and WTO with tree-planting.
'Live-bad, go-green'? Purists will note that these perceived environmentally-friendly activities are not actually that. The greenhouse gases are still created. What needs to be done is to reduce greenhouse gases, not create them and then pay something like a fine for having created them.
Tree-planting etc is a cop-out guilt-relief measure, not a solution for global warming.
The WTO is also warming to the challenges of climate change – if that is the right term. So we look at what the WTO has done.
Its head, Francesco Frangialli, says the world must "respond in a holistic way to…climate change [which requires an] innovative and changed behaviour to effectively respond in a timely way". Although we suspect others may not understand what this means either, he continues: "We have to adapt. We have to mitigate. And we have to lead not simply react".
A WTO report entitled "Tourism faces up to the impact of climate change" lists the threats – rising sea waters, receding ice, etc. But WTO's achievements to counter these problems are only meetings about what to do, and how serious the problem is. And a list of more meetings planned indicates that is what WTO regards as achievements.
Sadly, the only conclusion can be that the WTO has done nothing but talk about the problem. Once again, we look to the WTO for leadership for the travel business. Once again, we have been disillusioned.
Virgin Trains in the UK is running one of its trains on a 20% bio-diesel blend for a six-month trial.
UK-based Virgin Atlantic, at the launch of its London-Nairobi flights, announced plans to help protect 2000 elephants threatened by the encroachment of small farms north of Mount Kenya. The airline will build a safe passage for the animals to follow a path in and out of their land.
Both Ryanair and European Commission wrong.
Sometimes we feel only us, Ryanair staff, and most of the near-50mn passengers that bought seats on the airline in 2007, support the company.
Another recent-but-significant example came when the European Commission blocked Ryanair's proposed takeover of what was the main Ireland-based airline, Aer Lingus.
The reasons given by EC are startling in that they clearly indicate that the EC does not follow its own policy in treating the European Union as a single market.
But…what monopoly? Ryanair/AL's competition would be EU airlines such as Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa, etc. Has the EC forgotten that the EU should be a single market? Or that in other parts of Europe, the main locally-based competitor to Alitalia is Ryanair, the main locally-based airline at non-EU Geneva airport is Easyjet?
In fact, Ryanair missed this point as well, complaining about the EC decision only on the basis that the EC had earlier approved bigger mergers such as Air France/KLM and Lufthansa/Swiss. And that their traffic shares at their home airports were bigger than the combined Ryanair/AL share would have been at Dublin airport. A valid point, but not the core legal one.
· We were first with inclusive tourism, sexual freedom. We faced something like a 'mid-life crisis' in our 50s. We want to be a pioneer again. So we have set a simple objective – to be the worldwide specialist in all-inclusive, upmarket, friendly, multi-cultural vacations.
· Company's downturn followed 9/11. We are now a 'New Club Med'.
· Our new economic model is based on value and profitability, not volume and mass market.
· We spent more than [US$1.3bn, at US$1 to €0.75] on renovation. In 2008 our resorts will be split 50/50 between 3- and 4-trident [star]. In Mauritius, we are building our most luxurious, to be followed by ones in Oman, Vietnam, and South Africa.
· Our new real estate strategy is to manage resorts, rather than owning them. But we still have [US$1.3bn] of real estate.
 Further product segmentation. Biggest (five?) groups will have at least 25 brand names.
 Consolidation. Today's top 10 will become six in three years. But innumerable 'niche' groups will be formed, many to quickly become one of 25 brands – as above.
 Creation of international 'low-rate-hotel*' group within three years. Will provoke wide-scale imitation within five years. The leader will have 1000 hotels in 30 months.
Q: Will you change the company's name (on the basis that today only 8% of its business is to/from Berlin)?
Q: Will longhaul low-fare-airlines make profits?
-The promotional blurb for the new Peninsula hotel in Tokyo says it is "Introducing A New Legendary Landmark".
"Introducing" means it is "New", so one of those words is superfluous.
"Legendary" means it is the stuff of legends, so obviously this cannot be true for a new hotel.
-The ministry of tourism for Queensland (yes, even Australia's states have ministers), when talking of her meeting with her counterpart in India, said "we had a strong meeting".
I can't even begin to guess what that means, but I admit it sounds better than "we had a meeting".
-On the road, this time in Australia.
"Speeding Laws Are Enforceable", said the sign. Well, I would hope so, but I presume the authorities really mean "Speeding Laws Are Enforced". But surely that advice is superfluous, as another one saying "Truck Drivers Must Obey Speeding Laws". I look forward to someone challenging another interpretation of this – that other types of drivers need not obey speeding laws.
The chairman and CEO of Qantas have left/are leaving.
Margaret Jackson has been replaced as chairman by Leigh Clifford. And CEO Geoff Dixon says he will leave when his contract expires in 2009. Both are assumed to be victims of the failed plan at end-2006 for Texas Pacific to buy Qantas. Both Jackson and Dixon supported the bid.
Clifford was head of the mining conglomerate Rio Tinto, another big Australian company. This is too early to find a replacement for Dixon, although we expect the search has started, and that Dixon will go sooner once a replacement is found.
Dixon has brought great change at Qantas – including creating a separate domestic operation, a failed subsidiary airline Australian, and two Jetstar operations (at least one of which, the Singapore-based operation, was lossmaking).
But he has also brought dysfunction – in effect three different Qantas airlines on domestic Australia routes (Qantas, Qantas Link, Jetstar). Under Dixon, the group also bought a share of Singapore-based low-fare-airline Jetstar Asia; in profit terms it was a failure, but that did not stop Dixon from buying the rest of the airline early in 2007.
These moves leave the name 'Jetstar' with LFA-type flights in domestic Australia and its Singapore-based airline, and regular-airline type international flights from Australia. Dixon's replacement will have to reconcile this marketing dysfunction.
A favourite for replacement would be Rod Eddington, the Australian former head of Ansett, British Airways, and No 2 at Cathay Pacific, no less. Although he failed at Ansett, and took BA nowhere (and sold two, no less, LFAs that BA had created), a good CV and the right passport are crucial.


zerotothree.org. Provides a variety of researched based articles on early learning and parenting topics.
Positive Discipline For Today's Busy (and Overwhelmed) Parent. By Jane Nelson, Kristina Bill, and Joy Marchese. This book is the latest in a series of Positive Parenting, there are also books specifically for birth to three, preschoolers, teens, and a variety of other populations. This one is specifically for working parents, which I learned, are 75% of moms in America. I liked that the book takes the unique perspective of the working mom into account, and addresses issues such as mom guilt, limited time, and also gives kind of a roadmap for positive discipline, making the point that connected and really good parenting also exists for the working mom too. I loved it.
No Drama Discipline. We know from research that connection and attachment are the basis for all kinds of areas within child development, and this book recognizes this concept. There is a great metaphor for "flipping your lid" in this book, with the brain like the palm of a fist and then all finger extended like you are making the number "4" sign. When your "lid is flipped," you are in flight or fight mode, and similarly in marital argument, you can't make decisions clearly or act rationally when you're in that state. You need to get your body and brain calm again before being able to work through something. Similarly with a child, when they get to that state, (tantrum, etc.) the first priority is helping them (and yourself) regulate and calm down, before addressing the cause of the situation.
One piece of encouragement I wanted to include was that I learned that we don't have to be perfect parents 100% of the time to have good outcomes for our kids. I have heard this statistic cited multiple times, although I cannot find the source, but I've heard that mothers who respond to their babies in 30% of opportunities are linked to good outcomes for development. We try to meet all the needs of everybody all the time, and yet, we are human and we cannot. Doing our best, connecting with our child, offering empathy and compassion, will go a long way in sending the message that our children are seen, known, loved, and belong. I can think of no greater gift for a child.
Shared in partnership with the publicity team for Positive Parenting. I received a copy of the book for review, although all opinions are my own.


The only one I know of is the free shipping one that's posted on the site. I think the code is LEAP.
I think they only have free shipping, it's usually posted on their homepage...unfortunately I dont think they ever have discounts.
That is all I have known about too, free shipping. That doesn't always help if you want something right then though!!

2020 tracks to be hottest in Orlando and Florida on record
By Kevin Spear
2020 tracks to be hottest in Orlando and Florida on record.
It's a good bet that 2020 will accomplish what the last four years narrowly failed at – beating 2015 as the hottest on record in Orlando and Florida.
Keeping pace with a roasting planet swaddled in greenhouse-gas pollution, Orlando's average temperatures for 2016, 2017 and 2018 are among the 10 warmest on record; 2019 is the second warmest. Records for the city and state go back to the late 1800s.
Orlando and Florida are on track to finish 2020 as the hottest year on record. The numbered boxes show the average temperature rank of 2020 so far in various cities. (NOAA Southeast Regional Climate Center)
The annual average figure is calculated from the average of daytime highs and nighttime lows. Orlando's average temperature was 75.6 degrees in 2015, 75.2 degrees in 2019 and is 77 degrees so far this year.
State climatologist David Zierden said Florida's average temperatures for the last 65 out of 68 months, including the last 28 in a row, have been above normal.
"That's not luck of the draw," Zierden said. "The background climate is definitely changing."
[Popular on OrlandoSentinel.com] Orlando's cold streak forecast to continue »
The warm-up is encompassing days, nights, summers and winters.
Orlando has recorded a single, freezing night since 2015: 27 degrees on Jan. 18, 2018. Late into the last century, freezes commonly occurred several times a year. There were multiple freezes in 2010, which were delivered by repeated cold fronts from January to March.
"That was our last harsh winter," said Zierden, who expects repeats to be increasingly rare. "It's still the atmosphere. We still have natural variability. We still have big weather events. I'm not ready to say those cold winters are a thing of the past, but it's going to be less frequent and less likely."
In Central Florida, plenty of records were broken this year for daytime high temperatures, while nearly twice as many records were broken for warm nights -- or the warmest low temperature of a night.
[Popular on OrlandoSentinel.com] Hurricane facts: What was the earliest hurricane to ever form? »
The high ratio of record-warm nights turns up in monthly reporting by Derrick Weitlich, meterologist and climate program leader for the National Weather Service office in Melbourne.
In January, Orlando had four nights that were the warmest on record and one daytime record: Jan. 12 hit 86 degrees.
By the start of spring, Central Florida was sizzling.
"The intense and unrelenting warmer pattern generated monthly average temperatures that were around 5 to 8 degrees above normal, and also ranked as the warmest on record for March at Daytona Beach, Leesburg, Sanford and Orlando," Weitlich reported.
[Popular on OrlandoSentinel.com] What's up with Orlando's night sky in January? »
Orlando's summer didn't let up and August was the city's fifth-warmest, with five nights measured as the warmest on record and three nights tying records.
The nighttime temperature on Aug. 25 dropped to only 80 degrees. That tied the warmest night on record for all of August, matching the mark set Aug. 19, 1909.
September was the ninth-warmest and October was the third warmest on record for Orlando.
October had two nights measuring as warmest on record, with low temperatures of 75 degrees on the 20th and 27th, topping records set for those nights last year.
[Popular on OrlandoSentinel.com] The sea is rising and we need to face that fact | Commentary »
Weitlich said if the rest of the year cools off to normal temperatures, 2020 would still be on track to tie with 2015 as the warmest on record. Even with cooler-than-normal temperatures, there's a "high likelihood" the year will finish in the top three warmest.
The expected consequences of the steady rise of global and local temperatures include destructive rises in sea levels, more powerful storms, extreme shifts between flooding rains and prolonged drought and more.
But the price of a warming climate is readily observed already, including by farmers, ecologists, power-plant operators and most everybody else.

The exotic and invasive Brazilian pepper trees, not hardy enough to tolerate cold weather, are sprouting inland in Central Florida, including along the conservation lands of north Lake Apopka.
Roger Kjelgren, director of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences Mid-Florida Research and Education Center near Apopka, said warming temperatures have changed urban suburban scenery.
"I see it in my own front yard and you can see how it has changed the residential landscape with tropical foliage," Kjelgren said.

He cited, as an example, papaya that "with its papery leaves will get knocked back hard" with a freeze.

Another common landscape plant is allocasia, sometimes called giant taro or elephant ear.
Any temperature 32 degrees or lower will kill the plant to the ground, Kjelgren said. "Seeing large ones around town means we haven't gotten below freezing for a few years."

Q: get the number of the reverse order of a given series I want to get the number of the reverse order of a given series in javascript. If I have the following series:
[1,2,2,2,5,5,7,8,8,10]

then if the input is number 8 the output should be 2, since:
 1  = 10
 2  = 7
 2  = 7
 2  = 7
 5  = 5
 5  = 5
 7  = 4
[8  = 2]
[8  = 2]
 10 = 1

//--> [1 , 2,3,4, 5,6, 7, 8,9, 10]
  --> [1 , 2,2,2, 5,5, 7, 8,8, 10]
      [10, 7,7,7, 5,5, 4, 2,2, 1 ] <-- // ==> [1,2,2,4,5,5,7,7,7,10]

Here is what I have done so far:
function getReverseNumber(arr, num)
{
    var newArr = new Array(arr.length);
    var temp;
    var counter = 1;
    for(var i = arr.length; i > 0; i--)
    {
        if(temp === arr[i])
        {
            newArr[arr.length - i] = counter;
            continue;
        }
        newArr[arr.length - i] = counter;
        temp = arr[i];
        counter++;
    }
    return newArr[num - 1];
}

but it doesn't work as expected:
getReverseNumber(new Array(1,2,2,2,5,5,7,8,8,10), 8) // returns 5 not 2

what is wrong in my function?

A: I think that you are overcomplicating it. You are only increasing counter by one when you increase it, and you place the numbers in revese order, so newArr end up as [1,2,2,3,4,4,5,5,5,6] instead of [10,7,7,7,5,5,4,2,2,1].
There is no need to calculate all those numbers and keep in an array. Just loop from 1 and up, and calculate which position that is in the array. Return the index when you find the value:
function getReverseNumber(arr, num) {
  for (var i = 1; i <= arr.length; i++) {
    if (arr[arr.length - i] == num) return i;
  }
  return -1; // not found
}

a = [1,2,2,2,5,5,7,8,8,10]
n = a.lastIndexOf(8)
alert(a.length - n)

Russia and China said on Wednesday they were concerned about rising tensions on the Korean peninsula after North Korea warned that shooting down a long-range missile it plans to test would be an act of war.
Pyongyang said on Monday it had put its armed forces on full combat readiness in response to the start of annual military exercises by U.S. and South Korean troops, which it condemned as a provocation.
The reclusive state also said it planned to test-fire a long-range Taepodong-2 missile and warned any attempt to shoot it down would amount to an act of war. The missile is designed to fly as far as Alaska, but has never successfully flown.
"Both sides expressed concern about the worsening situation on the Korean peninsula," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement after Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke to his Chinese counterpart Yang Jiechi on Tuesday.
The ministers called on those involved "to show restraint and composure, and to refrain from any actions that could undermine security and stability in this region," it said.

The Sanctuary of Madonna Avvocata in Maiori is one of those places that steal the soul of the visitor, driven by Christian devotion and love for nature to walk along a mountain hiking trail that will lead him to enjoy one of the most stunning views in the world: the Gulf of Salerno, from Punta Licosa to Punta Campanella, Capri island and, under his feet, the Amalfi coast.
The starting point is Via Casale dei Cicerali, old and picturesque alley that lead us to the upper part of Maiori and to San Vito village, among lemon groves and vineyards cultivated in a heroic way on the typical terraced gardens overlooking the sea. Now the road gives the way to the mountain path and, gradually, it gains altitude. After one hour and half we reach Santa Maria (old farm of the monastery) and, after 20 minutes, we arrive at "Acqua ro' castagn" (the Chestnut Spring), a fresh spring where you can rest before facing the steepest part of the journey. Once passing through the "fullichito", a thick forest of ferns, and the so called "Grotta delle Soppressate" (grotto of the salami), for the characteristic shapes of the stalactites, we finally see the Sanctuary of Madonna Avvocata, perched on a rocky spur of the Falerzio Mount.
- the cave of apparition, reachable by a steep flight of steps, is the place where Our Lady appeared to a local shepherd, Gabriele Cinnamo, asking to him to built there a church dedicated to the Madonna Avvocata. The small altar, enclosed by a remarkable iron railing, represents the popular devotion of an entire town, a faith transmitted from generation to generation.
The view from the Belvedere is breathtaking! Not so far it is possible to visit the Grotto of Matteo Salese, brigand of the XVIII century, who preferred to leap into the void rather than being captured by the gendarmes.
the pilgrimage takes place on Whit Monday: the sound of tammorre accompanies the journey of the faithful to the sanctuary; the procession is held at noon in the open space in front of the church.
