Q: MUI - How can I style the scrollbar with CSS in JS? I really hate having to have an external stylesheet for my scrollbar stylings and I want to put it in with the rest of my styles on my root component. I have tried this...
const styles = (theme: Theme) =>
  createStyles({
    scrollBar: {
      '&::-webkit-scrollbar': {
        width: '0.4em'
      },
      '&::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {
        '-webkit-box-shadow': 'inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.00)'
      },
      '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
        backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,.1)',
        outline: '1px solid slategrey'
      }
    }
  });

and then adding the class to root component div. I am using the withStyles HOC and the other styles there are being applied, so I know it is working, but I cannot figure out how to get at the scroll bar styles. Is there any way to do this?

A: In MUI v5 for the specific element you can simply use:
<Box sx={{
  overflow:"auto",
  scrollbarWidth: 'thin',
  '&::-webkit-scrollbar': {
    width: '0.4em',
  },
  '&::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {
    background: "#f1f1f1",
  },
  '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
    backgroundColor: '#888',
  },
  '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover': {
    background: '#555'
  }
  }}>
</Box>

A: Since you want to do this globally, you may want to follow what CssBaseline does in it source code: https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/blob/master/packages/material-ui/src/CssBaseline/CssBaseline.js
const styles = theme => ({
  '@global': {
    '*::-webkit-scrollbar': {
      width: '0.4em'
    },
    '*::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {
      '-webkit-box-shadow': 'inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.00)'
    },
    '*::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,.1)',
      outline: '1px solid slategrey'
    }
  }
});

it looks like the top-level/global selector to use is @global.

A: The simplest one is to use the following code in your app.css file and import it to your App.js :
::-webkit-scrollbar {
  width: 5px;
}

/* Track */
::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
  background: #f1f1f1;
}

/* Handle */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
  background: #888;
}

/* Handle on hover */
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {
  background: #555;
}

A: Update March 2022
In MUI@5 the easiest way the achieve scroll adjusted to dark/light theme is to use Color Scheme in CssBaseline which works in Chrome, Edge & FF
https://mui.com/components/css-baseline/#color-scheme
<CssBaseline enableColorScheme />

CSB for thin scroller for light/dark mode for Chrome, Edge, FF & Safari:
https://codesandbox.io/s/material-ui-toggle-dark-light-mode-scrollbar-t542f7?file=/demo.tsx
More details:
if you want nice thin scroll you can use scroll-width: "thin"
https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_properties_scrollbar-width
but for now in works only in FF
darkScrollbar from MUI makes nice thin dark scrollbar in Edge & Chrome, but not in FF
darkScrollbar has also 3 available options, so we can combine those two methods and pass grey colors for light mode:
import { grey } from "@mui/material/colors";
import { darkScrollbar } from "@mui/material";
...

MuiCssBaseline: {
    styleOverrides: {
      html: {
        ...darkScrollbar(
          mode === "light"
            ? {
                track: grey[200],
                thumb: grey[400],
                active: grey[400],
              }
            : undefined
        ),
        //scrollbarWidth for Firefox
        scrollbarWidth: "thin",
      },
    },
},

A: I would recommend to apply scrollbar styles only for the specific container, cause @Global may take rendering time to apply on the All elements. This works fine as for me
list: {
  overflowY: "auto",
  margin: 0,
  padding: 0,
  listStyle: "none",
  height: "100%",
  '&::-webkit-scrollbar': {
    width: '0.4em'
  },
  '&::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {
    boxShadow: 'inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.00)',
    webkitBoxShadow: 'inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.00)'
  },
  '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
    backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,.1)',
    outline: '1px solid slategrey'
  }
}

A: You don't even need to use createTheme, just use GlobalStyles in MUI v5, this is more reusable:
<GlobalStyles
  styles={{
    '*::-webkit-scrollbar': {
      width: '0.4em',
    },
    '*::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {
      '-webkit-box-shadow': 'inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.00)',
    },
    '*::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
      backgroundColor: 'rgba(0,0,0,.1)',
      outline: '1px solid slategrey',
    },
  }}
/>

Or if you want to use a scrollbar in dark theme, MUI has one for you out-of-the-box:
import darkScrollbar from '@mui/material/darkScrollbar';

<GlobalStyles styles={{ ...darkScrollbar() }} />

Live Demo

A: None of the previous 4 answers gives a simple copy/paste solution that works right away for mui v4 or v5 and CssBaseline. So heres mine
For v4:
import { createTheme } from "@material-ui/core/styles";

const theme = createTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiCssBaseline: {
      "@global": {
        body: {
          scrollbarColor: "#6b6b6b #2b2b2b",
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar, & *::-webkit-scrollbar": {
            backgroundColor: "#2b2b2b",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb": {
            borderRadius: 8,
            backgroundColor: "#6b6b6b",
            minHeight: 24,
            border: "3px solid #2b2b2b",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:focus, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:focus": {
            backgroundColor: "#959595",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:active, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:active": {
            backgroundColor: "#959595",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover": {
            backgroundColor: "#959595",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-corner, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-corner": {
            backgroundColor: "#2b2b2b",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

export default theme;

So, If you are using CssBaseline at the top of your app, then just put the overrides object into your global theme and it will work fine.
If you got your hands on the beta v5 of mui, then use this in your global theme:
// optional for better type support
import type {} from "@mui/lab/themeAugmentation";

import { createTheme } from "@mui/material/styles";

const theme = createTheme({
  components: {
    MuiCssBaseline: {
      styleOverrides: {
        body: {
          scrollbarColor: "#6b6b6b #2b2b2b",
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar, & *::-webkit-scrollbar": {
            backgroundColor: "#2b2b2b",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb": {
            borderRadius: 8,
            backgroundColor: "#6b6b6b",
            minHeight: 24,
            border: "3px solid #2b2b2b",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:focus, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:focus": {
            backgroundColor: "#959595",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:active, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:active": {
            backgroundColor: "#959595",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover": {
            backgroundColor: "#959595",
          },
          "&::-webkit-scrollbar-corner, & *::-webkit-scrollbar-corner": {
            backgroundColor: "#2b2b2b",
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

A:     const useStyles = makeStyles((theme) => ({

        DetailedCard: {
            height: theme.spacing(60),
            display: 'flex',
            flexDirection: 'column',
            overflow: 'scroll',
            '&::-webkit-scrollbar': {
             width:0.5px
            },
           '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
               width:0.5px
            },
        },
    }))

A: For me I just wanted to change the scrollbar settings globally, so based on the sample provided here:
typography-html-font-size
You can use some approach like this for building your theme:
createMuiTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiCssBaseline: {
      '@global': {
        '*': {
          'scrollbar-width': 'thin',
        },
        '*::-webkit-scrollbar': {
          width: '4px',
          height: '4px',
        }
      }
    }
  }
})

Then just pass the created object to ThemeProvider. ThemeProvider document

A: This worked for me in MUI v5
global theme override
...
MuiCssBaseline: {
      styleOverrides: {
        html: {
          '& ::-webkit-scrollbar': {
                            width: '20px',
          },
          '& ::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {

          },
          '& ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {

          },
          '& ::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover': {

          },
        },
      },
    },

...
global specific component override
...
MuiCard: {
      styleOverrides: {
        root: {
          '::-webkit-scrollbar': {
                width: '20px',
          },
          '::-webkit-scrollbar-button': {

          },
          '::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {

          },
          '::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover': {

          },
          '::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {

          },
          '::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece': {

          },
          '::-webkit-scrollbar-corner': {

          },
          '::-webkit-resizer': {

          },
        },
      },
    },

...
in sx props
...
          <Box
            component="div"
            sx={{
              overflowY: 'scroll',
              height: { xs: '300px' },
              '::-webkit-scrollbar': {
                width: '20px',
              },
              '::-webkit-scrollbar-button': {

              },
              '::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {

              },
              '::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover': {

              },
              '::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {

              },
              '::-webkit-scrollbar-track-piece': {

              },
              '::-webkit-scrollbar-corner': {

              },
              '::-webkit-resizer': {

              },
            }}
          >

...

A: This configuration works well for Material UI v4 on modern Chrome and Firefox browsers.
const theme = createTheme({
  overrides: {
    MuiCssBaseline: {
      '@global': {
        '*': {
          scrollbarWidth: 'thin',
          scrollbarColor: '#B7B7B7 transparent',
          '&::-webkit-scrollbar': {
            width: 6,
            height: 6,
            backgroundColor: 'transparent',
          },
          '&::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {
            backgroundColor: 'transparent',
          },
          '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
            borderRadius: 6,
            backgroundColor: '#B7B7B7',
            minHeight: 24,
            minWidth: 24,
          },
          '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:focus': {
            backgroundColor: '#adadad',
          },
          '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:active': {
            backgroundColor: '#adadad',
          },
          '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover': {
            backgroundColor: '#adadad',
          },
          '&::-webkit-scrollbar-corner': {
            backgroundColor: 'transparent',
          },
        },
      },
    },
  },
});

A: joining @Artem Luzhanovskyi, you can show the scroll bar after the hover on parent element that is to keep the design of your element more clean
sx={
    {
        ...
        '&:hover::-webkit-scrollbar': {
        display: 'block',
        },
        '&::-webkit-scrollbar': {
        display: 'none',
        width: '0.512rem',
        },
        '&::-webkit-scrollbar-track': {
        boxShadow: 'inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.00)',
        webkitBoxShadow: 'inset 0 0 6px rgba(0,0,0,0.00)',
        },
        '&::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb': {
        backgroundColor: '#8d8e90',

At A&M Dentists we are committed to helping young patients feel comfortable visiting the dentist so that dental exams and cleanings become a normal part of life rather than something to fear.
Dental phobia is common among adults, and this fear often begins in childhood after a traumatic dental experience.
Our professional team employs a wide range of techniques, including modeling and positive reinforcement, to help children relax and cooperate with us during the treatment process so that they will view dental care in a positive light for a lifetime.
Every dental exam and cleaning appointment includes fluoride application to the teeth. Fluoride is a mineral that strengthens weak spots in the enamel, preventing acid erosion and decay. Professional fluoride applications not only help prevent cavities but can also reverse decay in its earliest stages.
Twice-yearly dental exams and cleanings are essential for optimal oral health. The purpose of the exams is to stay on top of newly developing problems. Early detection of cavities, gum disease, or tooth eruption issues allows us to take conservative measures to treat or even reverse these conditions. Professional teeth cleanings help remove plaque and tartar from the teeth for healthier and brighter smiles!

Substitute math teacher started a 'fight club' for his students
Amelia Cunningham April 15, 2018 News, True Crime No Comments
A 23-year-old substitute teacher was arrested last week for initiating a "fight club" in a Montville, Connecticut math classroom. There is cellphone video footage of Ryan Fish egging students to slap each other. His motive? He just wanted to be liked.
"I'm an idiot," he told police on his arrest warrant, where he was charged with four counts of second-degree reckless endangerment, one count of breach of peace, and two counts of risk of injury to a minor. His bail was set at $75,000.
"I would let them be teenagers and get their energy out," Fish said in a January police interview. "I will admit that I did at one point egg them on." But Fish didn't just egg the students on, he organized scheduled fights in the classroom. Three or four of these fights between boys 14 and 16 years old were held this past fall with Fish "supervising" them.
One of the students vomited during a fight, and another went to the hospital over injuries he sustained from the fight. School officials learned about the fight club on October 10 from photos and videos circulating around the school.
When they confronted Fish he told them "Boys will be boys." He was promptly fired, but police did not learn of the "fight club" until mid-December when they received video footage of the authority sanctioned violence. They immediately launched an investigation that resulted in Fish's arrest.

Sell My House Without an Agent in Salt Lake City Why Sell to an Investor?
Are you thinking "what is the best way to sell my house without an agent in Salt Lake City"? Following tradition is not always the best choice. Selling with a real estate agent will work for many house sellers but sometimes you have to think outside the box.
If you have a house that you need to sell fast, or needs a lot of repairs, or is vacant, inherited, tenant or family member there, meth use in the house, plumbing or electrical issues, or any number of reasons, you may want to sell your house to a Professional House Buyer (investor).
Investors, unlike real estate agents, want to buy houses quickly. A professional house buyer (investor) doesn't get a commission when they sell your house for you. Instead, they see a potential profit in purchasing your home and they are looking for a good deal where they can purchase your house and still turn a profit in the real estate market. Yes, this means you will typically receive less from an investor vs taking the time to sell with a realer. Investors know what your house will sell for once some work is done on the market, and they may be willing to pay a higher price for your house if they know they can turn a profit. Investors have a positive cash flow that allows them to use this money to invest in the houses that they think will make them the best profit. So dealing with a real estate investor puts you in a position of being able to bargain until you get the best deal for the situation you are in.
Keep in mind that investors will often be the best choice when you are selling your house in Salt Lake City because they often have the cash on hand to purchase fast. When you sell through an agent, you run the risk of the buyer backing out of the deal at the last minute or losing time during the deal-making process. Investors buy with cash and they can close the deal fast, saving you both time and money.
Only you can decide if using a real estate investor is the best choice for you.

After all, gullible employees lead to security breaches.
Humans want to trust other humans. If I struck up a conversation with a gentleman in a suit at the bus stop who explained his life story, why would I distrust him?
We all have a natural tendency to believe what trustworthy-looking people tell us. And that's what gets us in trouble.
Social engineering is a way of manipulating people socially so that they trust the social engineer and eventually provide some sort of useable data. For instance, instead of trying to find software vulnerabilities to exploit for sensitive data, a social engineer might try to trick someone into divulging an administrative password without realizing it.
Have you ever seen the crime drama Catch Me If You Can? Frank Abagnale, the main character, is a master of social engineering. He convinces people he's an airline pilot, doctor, and attorney by forging documents and acting like he belongs. The scary thing is, it's a true story.
What's the problem with social engineering?
Hey guys and welcome back to the SecurityQ, your source for business data security Today on the SecurityQ, we're back with part two. Alright guys. Last time on the SecurityQ, we talked a little about social engineering and I showed you a pretty sweet example. But today I interviewed two security experts: an auditor and forensics investigator. Here's what they had to say about social engineering. The part that frustrated us was how easy it was to do this with customers. We'd say, hey we're here to work on your network or work on your computers, can you show me to your server room? And they'd lead us right back there. They wouldn't ask us, you should know the password, and I'm gonna give it to you. They'd just give us the password. We would send a letter later on and tell them how easy it was to get inside. They're always quite surprised. Usually when you go to a company they feel like their people are trained very well. I've worked at customer sites where they've been really secure and they've done a much better job. Bu by far, most companies are lax on their rules and people need better training. There's another way that it's kind of unusual. That merchants really need to be on guard for the social engineer. For example, there was a an investigation we were involved in where this guy had very limited IT skills, but he knew how to talk. He simply opened up the yellow pages and started calling all the restaurants in a particular chain that were in this area. He said, I have to do some system maintenance and I can walk you right through it. We'll do it together over the phone. Enabled a remote session with them, and virtually while he was on the phone with the manager, installed malware. Alright guys, I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again. You may have the best technology on the face of the planet, but if you don't protect yourself from the social threat, you're leaving your business wide open. Our advice? Train your employees against the social threat and remember to always prepare because your security matters. Well guys that's all the time we have today on the SecurityQ. But as always, we want to hear from you. So post your questions in the comments below and don't forget to subscribe. See ya next time on the SecurityQ.
Here's what happens when I try to socially engineer someone.
Hey guys, welcome back to the SecurityQ, your source for business data security. Today on the SecurityQ, we're gonna discuss one topic. The social threat to your business. Here's the game if you don't mind if I try. Out of the things you have inside, would you say would be most valuable? The thing inside your pockets We'll take your front pocket here, do you have something inside? You don't mind if I bring this out in public do you? I believe that's really strange. So you have anything else? Okay guys, so we just saw a pretty sweet video of a social engineer, or a con man, stealing personal items from a guy. I have to tell you I'm quite impressed with his skill. Now a lot of businesses ask me, what is a social engineer and how does that apply to my business? The truth is, a social engineer is somebody that uses social interaction to steal data. It could be personal, that data could be physical, that data could be coming from your trash can. It's data they want. And they're gonna use any and all tactics to get that data. Now I'm gonna show you what it looks like at an actual business and I'm personally going to do it. Jive Communications, Voice over IP made affordable and reliable, has graciously given us permission to run a simulation. Everyone involved is an actor. Hi how are you? My name is Brandon Barney and I'm the IT director upstairs. I was monitoring our logs this weekend, and it looked like your Wi-Fi was bleeding into ours. If I could jump onto your computer systems real quick and make sure that's not the case, I'd sure appreciate it. This employee has one have two choices. They're either going completely fold and give me access to the network, or they're gonna shut me down. The question is, what are you and your employees going to do? If you're looking for information or tactics used by these criminals, check out the link for information from PC world. Our advice? Train your employees and test them. There are lots of professionals out there that can assist you in doing this. Remember, your security matters. Well guys, that's all the time we have for today on the SecurityQ. If you're looking for more detailed information, I'm going to be posting a pretty sweet video response. Remember, we want to hear from you so post your questions in the comments below, and don't forget to subscribe. See you next time on the SecurityQ.
Social engineers don't sneak around. They're confident and friendly. They look like they belong. Don't be pressured by their convincing ways.
Never give out your username/password, badge, PIN, ID number, credit card, or schedule. In essence, never give out sensitive information about you or your company.
The only way to identify if your employees have soaked in all that knowledge is to test them. You can don a disguise and test them yourself, or enlist the help of a professional (also called a pen tester), to come onsite and test your employees, experiment with your physical security, and see what interesting information they can find in your trash cans.

North Korea recalls its ambassador - Associated Press, August 31, 2004
...South Korean government officials have declined to reveal the nation that acted as a conduit for the defectors, but North Korea's Foreign Ministry spokesman early this month lashed at Vietnam for helping with the defection. The spokesman said North Korea has sufficient evidence that Vietnam took part in what it called the "kidnapping" act.
...In its latest protest, North Korea has recalled its ambassador to the unnamed country for helping the defectors enter South Korea, South Korea's mass-circulation Chosun Ilbo reported Tuesday.
The newspaper, citing a diplomatic source in Beijing, said North Korea has threatened to pull out the rest of its diplomatic officials if the country doesn't apologize for the defection and take measures to prevent such things from happening again...

Poiché citato come già morto da tempo in un documento il 16 settembre 1361 col titolo di magister prothus Palacii nostri novi, egli è identificabile come uno degli autori (architetti e scultori) che curarono l'ampliamento e la decorazione di quella parte di Palazzo Ducale prospiciente il molo. Questi lavori, svoltisi tra il 1340 e il 1365 e interrotti temporaneamente durante la Peste del 1348, videro una profonda trasformazione dell'edificio: l'aspetto del complesso mutò da bizantino a gotico, mentre la facciata fu innalzata di un piano causa l'ampliamento del Maggior Consiglio e assunse una maggior unità stilistica. Fu probabilmente cognato di Filippo Calendario, anche questi collaboratore del cantiere in qualità di lapicida ma poi impiccato nel 1355 in quanto coinvolto nella congiura ordita da Marin Falier.

Argentine Cambiasso retires from football
Agencies8 Sep 2017 7:03 PM GMT
Athens: Argentine midfielder Esteban Cambiasso announced on Friday his retirement from football after completing his two-year contract with Greek Olympiacos.
Cambiasso, nicknamed El Cuchu, has completed the UEFA's professional coaching course in Coverciano (Italy) and is now licensed to coach youth, second and third division soccer teams, although local Greek press is certain he would start his new career as a technical manager, reports Efe.
The 37-year-old, capped 74 times with Argentina, began his career in Argentinos Juniors before debuting with Real Madrid B in 1996, returning two years later to his native country, where he played for Independiente and River Plate.
He joined Real Madrid's top team in 2002 and won an Intercontinental Cup, among other titles.
His best day came when in 2004 he moved to Inter Milan. He won a UEFA Champions League, a FIFA Club World Cup, five Series A titles, four Italian cups and four super cups with Inter Milan.
In the 2014-15 season he played for English Leicester City, before being transferred to Olympiacos, where he won two Super Leagues.

Harper commits up to $95 million for Lac-Megantic decontamination - Macleans.ca
Harper commits up to $95 million for Lac-Megantic decontamination
LAC-MEGANTIC, – Ottawa and Quebec shared a rare moment of unity on Thursday with news they will each spend up to $95 million to help decontaminate Lac-Megantic's water and soil.
"Today, I am announcing that the government is making available up to $95 million to offset the costs of decontamination," Prime Minister Stephen Harper told a news conference in the community.
"This sum corresponds to 50 per cent of the cost estimates of the Quebec government."
Vast quantities of crude oil seeped into soil and waterways in and around Lac-Megantic last July when a train carrying the fuel careened off the tracks, smashed into a cafe and destroyed much of the community's downtown core.
Forty-seven people were identified through their remains, while those of a handful of other people were never found.
"My friends, I know there is no amount of money that can erase the painful memories…but you have to know that our government is doing everything in its power to support you," said Harper, who was accompanied by local MP Christian Paradis and Lac-Megantic Mayor Colette Roy-Laroche.
It was Harper's third visit to the town since the tragedy.
In Quebec City, Intergovernmental Affairs Minister reacted positively to Thursday's announcement, even though no Quebec government representatives were present.
"We're happy that at the end of the day we'll share the bill with the federal government," Cloutier said.
And Cloutier said he has no reason to disbelieve Harper when he said Ottawa would be present for the entire clean-up and rebuilding process.
"I'm convinced he said the truth at the press conference."
Roy-Laroche, who was a daily picture of calm in the aftermath of the tragedy, also welcomed news of the funding.
"Today's announcement is coming at the right time," she said. "With winter and the holiday period around the corner, we really needed some good news."
Roy-Laroche said the decontamination process will begin soon after a call for tenders and that it will last at least 18 months. About 40 per cent of the decontaminated soil has been excavated.
The $95 million in federal funds is on top of $60 million in assistance Ottawa committed earlier this year.

Analysis and Comment
RTÉ Investigates
Navalny a dominant opposition figure, even from prison
Updated / Saturday, 24 Apr 2021 07:31
By Fiona Mitchell
He was once described by the Wall Street Journal as "the man Vladimir Putin fears most".
And this week, as thousands chanted the name of Alexei Navalny in protests across Russian cities, it seemed that, even from prison, Navalny still has the ability to cause trouble for the Russian President.
Across the West this week, international leaders from the US to the UN and the EU all issued warnings to Russia about consequences for the Kremlin if Navalny dies in custody.
The 44-year-old has been on hunger strike in prison since 31 March as a protest at what he says has been inadequate medical treatment for chronic pain.

This week his supporters suggested he was close to death and while he was moved from prison to a prison hospital, his lawyers demanded independent medical attention to assess his health.
Yesterday, Navanly announced that he would begin gradually ending his hunger strike.
His health has been a point of concern for some time.
Last year, he survived a poisoning attack after being taken gravely ill on a flight in Siberia. Taken initially to a Russian hospital, he was eventually moved to Germany for treatment, where doctors said he had been poisoned with a Novichok nerve agent.
The same nerve agent was identified in Salisbury in the UK in March 2018 when former Russian agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found passed out on a park bench having ingested the substance.

Three others would become seriously ill in Salisbury following contact with the substance and one, Dawn Sturgess, would die from the poison.
As with Salisbury, blame for the poisoning of Alexei Navalny was laid at the door of the Kremlin. As with Salisbury, the Russian government denied any involvement in the attack.
Navalny returned to Russia earlier this year, where he was arrested and eventually imprisoned on embezzlement charges.
Dr Jenny Mathers, a Senior Lecturer in International Politics at Aberystwyth University, says Alexei Navalny has been a dominant force in Russian politics for over a decade now.
A lawyer by training, Navalny became involved in politics through his work as an anti-corruption campaigner.
Initially he used a method known as shareholder activism to get access to information, buying small shares in companies which gave him more access to their accounts.

From there he could follow the money trail. Eventually he set up a website called Rospil, harnessing the power of the internet and social media to reach a wider audience.
Dr Mathers says the website investigated high level corruption, highlighting disparities between the salaries of government officials and their lifestyles, which often suggested access to other, substantial, funds.
"He would present the material in very compelling and entertaining ways", Dr Mathers says and his YouTube videos became "of great interest to lots of ordinary people who can see that the state is not necessarily looking after them when it comes to things like pensions or the provision of public services".
He was also becoming a dominant force because he was part of a dwindling number of opposition voices.
Dr Alexander Titov, from the School of History, Philosophy, Anthropology and Politics at Queen's University Belfast, points out that as opposition figures died or were imprisoned in Russia in recent years, Navalny "remained the only one active", and he learned lessons from seeing what had happened to opposition leaders who went before him.
Mikhail Khodorkovsky
Dr Titov says "Navalny's situation calls to mind the Yukos affair, which became the defining episode of President Vladimir Putin's first term. In 2003, Russia's richest man Mikhail Khodorkovsky was under intense pressure to give up his Yukos oil empire and flee Russia. The oil company was expropriated for alleged tax avoidance and sold to Putin's allies. Khordokovsky chose to stay and face prison."
Dr Titov believes Mikhail Khodorkovsky thought an international outcry could save him from a prison sentence, but it didn't and he served ten years.
After his release he went into exile and now has what Dr Titov describes as a "negligible impact on Russian politics". "Navalny clearly doesn't want to become another Khodorkovsky. He wants to remain relevant politically", Dr Titov adds.
Those are the kind of examples that have shown allies of Alexei Navalny how important it is to keep his case in the public consciousness, not just in Russia, but internationally also.
Calls from Navalny's supporters for demonstrations on Wednesday saw large crowds on the streets. But the turnout did not reach the half-a-million for which organisers had hoped.
Dr Mathers says that numbers at such protests need to be seen more as a reflection of how people need to protect themselves rather than as a reflection of anger with the system. People are nervous about taking to the streets for such events, she says, because the consequences for taking part can be very severe - ranging from losing their job to imprisonment.
As a result, Dr Mathers believes, many people may opt not to take part rather than risk severe repercussions.
As Alexei Navalny's supporters were demonstrating, the Russian President was speaking.
President Putin making his address to parliament this week
At his annual address to both houses of the Russian parliament, Vladimir Putin warned that the "organisers of any provocations that threaten our core security interests" would regret "what they have done like they've never regretted anything for a long time".
As Dr Mathers points out there should be no expectation that Navalny poses any immediate threat to the Russian president, but it is nonetheless a reminder that there is opposition to a leader who has been in power in some form since 1999.
As authorities crack down on allies of Navalny, fears have grown not just for his health but also for the health of the organisation which he has built.
That's why his announcement in recent days that he will gradually come off his hunger strike will come as a relief to many of his supporters, who would rather see him live as an opposition leader than die as an opposition martyr.
Re-iterating his demand to see a doctor of his own choice, Navalny says it will take him three weeks to gradually come off the hunger strike.
He thanked those who had supported him both in Russia and abroad.
It's support he will be hoping continues.

Let's say the product you fell in love with is a skin care line. The market you are then in is the beauty industry. The beauty industry has several sub categories, like skin care, hair care, nail care, and even pedi-care. You can break it down even further: skin care for teens, for moms, for men, for dogs, etc.
Rashes on the face can be caused by something you have eaten, a cosmetic you have used, or maybe a piece of jewelry or fabric worn. It may also be caused by virus or bacterial infection, blood problems, stress or skin problems and abnormalities.
There are other factors as well that manifests in the eye area more than anywhere else: stress and lack of sleep are the obvious ones that come to mind.
Unfortunately, getting sunburned is much more common that it has to be. In a recent survey The skin Cancer Foundation learned that 42 percent of people get a sunburn at least once a year.
In fact what works wonders for your coworkers might turn your skin into a train wreck of epic proportions. But how do you choose the best skin product for yourself? So then let's talk about some cool tips and tricks to help you find what works best for you and your skin.
Always ask for samples of beauty face clean and makeup when visiting your favorite beauty supplier. Most major department stores have baskets full of samples that they do not put out because too many would take advantage. Customer service personnel are always happy to give samples to those who ask and the samples allow you to try before investing in the latest product.
Avoid mixing different acne treatments together. When people have bad acne, they think that using many treatments will cure their condition faster. When you do this, you are exposing your skin to many different harsh ingredients. This can cause damage to your skin.
Choosing the right skin care product is as simple as learning about ingredients, or getting unbiased information from a trusted source. Sometimes all it takes to develop a foolproof skin care routine is some patience and the willingness to try a few products before making a commitment to just one. Don't sweat running into something that irritates your skin. Stick to these methods and you will find what works and what does not.
Quit smoking to stall the appearance of wrinkles. Do not go out in the sun without proper protection. Use anti wrinkle creams from Hydroxatone skin care to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmentation.
You can help the production of collagen by eating a healthy diet to ensure that you get valuable vitamins and nutrients. Hydration is also important to keep the skin healthy. You can use skincare products but it is best to use ones which contain natural ingredients so you do not use any chemicals which could harm the skin. This is just some advice about how to make the body produce collagen. Consult a doctor if you need more information.

Club confirm when Newcastle v Luton FA Cup match will be played
The Newcastle v Luton match will take place on Saturday 6 January.
The game has a 3pm kick-off and the TV broadcasters have left well alone.
Newcastle have never won more than one FA Cup match in a season under Mike Ashley, so maybe this could be our big year…to reach the fifth round.
No news on tickets as yet.
Saturday's opponents have been selected for live TV though.
Leicester City have been drawn away from home and are waiting to see whether they go to Fleetwood or Hereford.
For Newcastle fans, I think we have quite enough stress this season without another visit to Hereford to worry about.
We see Ronnie Radford's goal quite enough as it is, just imagine if we played them again!
Newcastle United official announcement:
'It has been confirmed that Newcastle United's Emirates FA Cup Third Round clash at home to Luton Town will take place on Saturday, 6th January, with kick-off at 3pm.
The League Two pacesetters won 5-0 on the other side of the Tyne on Sunday – against Gateshead – with Olly and Elliot Lee – sons of former United midfielder Rob – both on target at the International Stadium.
The Magpies and Luton have met on four previous occasions in the FA Cup. When they were last paired together – during the 1993/94 campaign – the Hatters progressed following a replay.
Ticket details will be announced on in due course.'

Ann Patchett reflects on love and relationships in new essay collection
By Annalisa Quinn • 9 hours ago
These Precious Days: Essays, by Ann Patchett
"You can't be a real writer if you don't have children," a famous author once told Ann Patchett when they were both speaking at a book festival. Patchett, whose novels include Bel Canto and Commonwealth, has never wanted kids.
"Emily Dickinson," she protested. "Flannery O'Connor, James Baldwin, Eudora Welty, Henry James." But the writer insisted that without having children it isn't possible to know what it means to love.
The full-hearted essays collected in These Precious Days are rebuttals, in various forms, of that cruel and limiting idea. The essays, even when they are nominally about something else, are about the weight and grief of relationships: with her father and two stepfathers, her best friend, her husband and, improbably, actor Tom Hanks' assistant, a woman named Sooki with whom Patchett develops a deep bond. "Again and again," she writes in the book's introductory essay, "I was asking what mattered most in this precarious and precious life."
In one essay, "Flight Plan," Patchett describes her fears about her husband's flying hobby: "[I]n the end, it probably won't be the nose tip or the door. It will be something infinitely more mundane. It will be life and time, the things that come for us all. Which doesn't mean I'll be able to keep myself from saying, Careful, call me, come right back."
In "These Precious Days," the essay after which the collection is named, Patchett recalls doing an event with Hanks, but being starstruck instead by his assistant, Sooki. "She said almost nothing and yet my eye kept going to her, the way one's eye goes to the flash of iridescence on a hummingbird's throat. I thought of how extraordinarily famous a person would have to be to have someone like that working as their assistant." They begin a correspondence.
When Sooki is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Patchett offers to have her seen at her husband's hospital in Tennessee, and to stay with them while she's treated. Shortly after Sooki arrives, the pandemic makes travel impossible, and they begin a strange, harmonious, solitary coexistence, cordoned off from the rest of the world. "So many other people would have done anything to be with her— her mother and husband, her daughter and son and grandchildren, her sisters and all of her friends...These precious days I'll spend with you, I sang in my head. Pay attention, I told myself. Pay attention every minute." The result is a beautiful, nearly 70-page tribute to her friend, who died in April 2021.
Some of the essays are weaker than others: An essay on Snoopy has some self-conscious charms but feels essentially irresolute. Some parts of the book feel like excuses to brag about her friends (though of all the forms of writerly self-indulgence, that might be among the easiest to forgive). But at their best, they are a catalogue of all the unexpected ways love can look, if you're imaginative and brave enough to try it — even while knowing that love and grief are two sides of the same coin. "Death always thinks of us eventually," Patchett writes. "The trick is to find the joy in the interim, and make good use of the days we have."

Bishop John Harrower has been commissioned to a new role assisting Archbishop Philip Freier at the opening of synod.
Bishop John Harrower, third from left, has been commissioned as an assistant to Archbishop Philip Freier at the opening of the Melbourne synod.
October 14 2015Bishop John Harrower, the recently retired Bishop of Tasmania, was commissioned to a new role assisting Melbourne's Archbishop Philip Freier during Choral Eucharist for the opening of Melbourne's annual diocesan synod at St Paul's Cathedral on 14 October.
The former Melbourne vicar has returned to Victoria to a part-time role as Bishop assisting Dr Freier in the Archbishop's duties as Anglican Primate of Australia.
Bishop Harrower's commissioning occurred two days before his 68th birthday and just over a month after he formally ended 15 years as Tasmania's Anglican leader. Bishop Genieve Blackwell — who was commissioned as an Assistant Bishop of Melbourne at a similar service before June's special synod — Bishop Philip Huggins and Bishop Paul White accompanied Bishop Harrower and his wife Gayelene to the Nave Altar step at St Paul's, where he made a series of commitments to his new ministry.
Archbishop Freier then led prayers for Bishop Harrower, Mrs Harrower and their family.
In a pastoral letter to Tasmanian Anglicans on 7 May announcing his impending retirement, Bishop Harrower wrote that "life brings the unexpected and so it is that we believe God has led us to a new season to be with our sons and families in Melbourne".
Bishop Harrower served as a Church Missionary Society missionary in Argentina in the 1970s and 1980s before returning to Australia, where he was Vicar of Glen Waverley and Archdeacon of Kew in the 1990s until his consecration as Bishop of Tasmania in 2000.
Archdeacon Richard Condie of Melbourne, the Vicar of St Jude's in Carlton, preached the sermon, in which he likened the work of the Synod — the annual "parliament" of the diocese — to gardening.
"The year before last, our ministry team read and discussed a book called The Trellis and the Vine," he said. "The book pursues a gardening metaphor for ministry. We do trellis work and we do vine work.
"Some of the work we do in the life of the church is a bit like 'trellis-building', providing frameworks and structures so that the vine work — the real growth of God's kingdom — might take place.
"We are here working hard on the trellis. But trellises are not an end in themselves. They are a stage, a platform, a structure to hold up the vine, to make the Word of God fully known."
Archdeacon Condie wryly noted that he missed the June Synod as he was enjoying long service leave "somewhere in Budapest", while 12 months ago this week, his church was on fire, "which was a spectacular way to get out of the Saturday of Synod". "And, no, I was not responsible for the fire. I have a rock-solid alibi!"
He reminded Synod members that they were Christ's Body, the Church; that they were Servants of that Church; that they were proclaimers of Christ; and that they worked for the encouragement and unity of God's people.
"Sometimes Synod gets a bad wrap... After all, it sometimes feels like we are going round in circles. Sometimes the politics of the decisions are all too apparent and the purpose of our being together gets lost in the process of us being together.
"What a joy it will be in this Synod over these next days when we hear each other encouraging each other... Being united not in our common work, not in the problems we face, not in a superficial politeness, but truly in our convictions about Christ."
The Eucharist began with the first public airing of a Processional Hymn composed by retired English Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith for the 125th anniversary of the consecration of St Paul's Cathedral, which falls in 2016.
In his Synod Charge delivered after the service, Dr Freier lauded the multicultural character of the Diocese of Melbourne — a point that had been vividly and beautifully demonstrated earlier when his Executive Officer, Sri Lankan-born Ms Naomi Nayagam, wore a sari as she read the First Reading. The Second Reading was proclaimed by the New Zealand-born Registrar, Mr Ken Spackman.
The Synod is to meet on the nights of Thursday 15 and Friday 16 October and all day on Saturday 17 October.

After finally jumping onto the bandwagon the game loaded me into a much more literal wagon, and announced that I was to be executed; a bad way to start a Wednesday evening. I was then told that another passenger was the true 'High King' of Skyrim. "That's convenient!" A cynical voice in my head crowed, "Fancy being in the same cart as the contender to the throne!" "Well… it's not that unlikely." A more grown-up voice remarked, "Think of all the times that usurpers and pretenders have challenged the order of succession."
That voice in my brain made a good point. Pick a time in history and you'll find people squabbling over who should be in charge. The majority of the major 'plot points' in world history revolve around one party challenging the power of their leaders. This dispute is usually resolved by the two groups putting bits of metal through each other (last one to die, wins). So randomly bumping into someone in Skyrim with a grudge against the monarchy is not so strange.
Skyrim is not a game based in History (which is a shame), but each of The Elders Scrolls games has been heavily influenced by weapons and locations from the middle ages. Skyrim takes most of its inspiration from medieval Northern Europe. There's a real 'Viking-y' feel to the whole thing. So far I've only played about ten hours of the game, but I'm already starting to spot the history behind the fantasy. Once noticed, I found it quite hard to turn off History Teacher Mode, so I thought I'd go with it and inflict my observations on you instead.
The Execution Scene
The horse and cart trundle into town, and the prisoners are unloaded. After a brief/lengthy [delete as appropriate] session with the character creator, you and the other criminals are lined up to be executed. The method of execution: beheading. We watch as the first prisoner is placed neck first onto the chopping block, and a downward axe swing separates the gentleman's head from the rest of the gentlemen.
This scene is, for the most part, an accurate depiction of a form execution employed in medieval Europe. Executions in public were also a regular feature of a feudal society. You deal with a serious criminal and remind the local populace what happens if they commit a high crime. However, decapitation was not a punishment given out to just anyone.
It's strange to think of a method of execution being more popular than another, but death by beheading was the preferred way to go. The quick, relatively painless removal of the head was seen as a much more dignified alternative than the other, much more common method of execution. Hanging was the capital punishment used on the common man; a much more common occurrence in the Middle Ages. Beheading was seen as a much more noble death. This perception continued for centuries - Anne Boleyn (Henry VIII's second wife) requested a double-edged sword rather than an axe for her execution. It was all the rage in French high society, don't-you-know.
In that opening scene of Skyrim, your character is unknown and insignificant. Historically speaking, the axe is way too good for you. The supposed 'High King' that traveled with you might have been given enough respect to be granted a noble death, but your character should be swinging from the gallows...
All those Wolves
Wolves are everywhere in Skyrim. Walk in any direction for two minutes and you will soon find yourself pestered by black, scraggly mutts. And once again, we find a connection to the medieval world. A thousand years ago, wolves were a serious problem for towns and villages in Northern Europe. In France, cattle were at so much risk of wolf attacks that the job of 'wolf hunter' became an actual profession, scoring high on the list of "Coolest Sounding Job Titles".
Ever heard the story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf? Well, there's a touch of reality there. Young children in Anglo-Saxon England were given the job of watching over the village flock in case of wolf attack. So, if you ever hear anyone claiming that 'kids today have it easy'… they are really, really right.
Round, wooden shields
Try this test: take a wooden spoon and a metal spoon from the kitchen. Holding one spoon in each hand, smack the implements off a hard surface. Notice the difference? The metal spoon transferred the force into your hand.
This is an example I suggest to students when trying to explain why a metal shield is a silly and historically inaccurate idea. This is also why warriors wear padding under metal armor, why sword handles are bound in leather, and why shields are often made of wood. Plus the fact that the production of metal weapons and armor was far more expensive and time consuming. If you ever see a metal shield in real life, it's probably ornamental. Most warriors of Northern Europe would use shields of wood. So pleased was I to see that some shields in Skyrim follow that logic.
I'm sure that when I progress further into the game I will come across big, heavy metal shields with eccentric designs, but for now my warrior is wielding a shield like the one above. The other image is of a recreated Saxon shield. The only issue with the Skyrim version is that it has too much going on. Most round shields had a metal centre, behind which the hand holding it is kept safe, with metal bands either across the shield or around the edge. Few soldiers would put that much metal onto a single shield.
The round shield is much more than something a Norseman would hide behind. That metal center (which is called a "boss") or the metal trim around the shield edge could be used to bash an opponent, providing the opening for a free stab. I've already seen a 'finishing move' performed by my character where the edge of the shield was used to cave a rival's head in. The way in which most shields in the game are held is also accurate. We often imagine shields as being something strapped onto the forearm, which did happen, but it was more common to see a shield held by a single handle on the back. This gave better reach and much more flexibility.
Too many books
Every house you go to in Skyrim, you can expect to find at least one book sitting on a shelf. This is a pretty weird thing to see, considering most people in a medieval society had neither the time, nor the need, to learn to read and write. A farmer raised their children to become farmers. If a medieval boy wasn't learning how to build or repair the home, they were learning how to fight. On top of this, paper was a difficult item to manufacture; owning paper was often regarded as a sign of high standing in society.
The Fighting
Combat in Skyrim seems pretty straightforward. You click a button and the character swings a weapon. If you hold for longer, they swing harder. Not the most sophisticated swordplay you'll ever see. Yet this is what makes close combat in Skyrim strangely accurate. Magic abilities aside.
We've all seen movies and games with melee fighting in them. Swords clash, warriors spin and twirl, dodge rolls a-plenty, fights lasting for ten minutes. Medieval fighting is none of those things. A spin attack might look awesome, but if a medieval knight tried that they'd get a spear through the head for trying to show off. Most fights would last all of two sword moves. No skilled medieval knight would waste time blocking their opponent's blade; they would have the skill to parry the blow and stab their enemy in the same move. And why would you clash swords? That would blunt the weapons.
Just watch these two modern day Scandinavian men pretending to be Vikings:
To me, the fighting in Skyrim is pretty close to the mark. Two opponents swinging for each others vital organs, clobbering each other into submission, letting the armor take the hit, focusing on attack. Maybe one too many swings from up high, but the real brutal essence of combat is there.
The Iron War Hammer
This is a late edition to the list. I found one of these in my latest session with the game, and I'm really pleased to see it. When most people think of a war hammer is fantasy terms they picture a huge lump of metal fixed to the end of a wooden pole. Again, those versions exist in Elder Scrolls too, but the iron war hammer is much closer to the genuine article. When you think about this physics of both the historic and the fantasy versions, I hope you'll realize the former is way more brutal. The smaller, thinner hammer can be swung with the speed and accuracy of a sword, and the smaller surface area gives the weapon a real punch. These weapons were designed to break bones through the victims armor.
…the Skyrim version is still way too big, but it's an improvement.
So after week one there's a lot of little, really accurate references to history in Skyrim, not all of them are deliberate. When I've played previous installments I made no attempt to spot the historic elements of the game, but doing it this time round has added an extra level of enjoyment to the experience. The only instance where I may have almost spoilt the game occurred when I realized that the dragons aren't historically accurate… which is a shame.
Maybe you've spotted other historical (in)accuracies within Skyrim? Let me know. Or you may like to add to/correct the comments I've made here. I'm always eager to learn more.

Should you consider postgraduate study?
Top 5 tips for delivering a presentation -
What can I do after studying an interior design degree? -
While studying for your undergraduate degree, there will likely come a time when you think about postgraduate education and consider whether it's a wise 'next step' for you in terms of your career.
Although a master's degree isn't for everyone, it's a good idea to carry out some research and think about how it could benefit your future before you brush off the idea of postgraduate study due to cost or the time it would take to complete the course.
First of all, it's important to think carefully about how a postgraduate degree would fit into your career plan and whether it would boost your career prospects; essentially, you need to decide whether a master's degree is a worthwhile investment for you. Weighing up the pros and cons is always a good place to start, so you could try drawing up a simple list of your thoughts.
Of course, in some careers postgraduate level education is a requirement: doctor, postsecondary teacher, and psychologist to name but a few. However, with the majority of career paths, you have much more flexibility (although it's often recommended that you have either a master's degree or relevant work experience).
Whether you hope to become a fashion designer or an engineer, it's really helpful to look into industry success stories and find out how those who have excelled in your sector have got to where they are today. If it seems as though a postgraduate level education paid off for such people, perhaps now is the time to start to consider this as a serious option for yourself. Today, almost every industry is rife with competition, so it's becoming increasingly important to have something that sets you apart from the crowd when it comes to securing your first job.
Postgraduate degrees are also great for those who want to specialise, as they often offer more specific subjects than bachelor's programmes. For example, if you wanted to specialise in a specific type of journalism after studying the generic BA, a master's degree would certainly provide you with the opportunity to do so.
Perhaps one of the most important factors affecting your decision to pursue a postgraduate degree would be financial security. However, you may not know that the government is introducing loans of up to £10,000 for those wishing to continue education after graduating from their undergraduate degree.
Anyone starting a full-time or part-time master's programme after August 1 of this year is eligible to apply for the new Postgraduate Loan, which can then be used to pay course fees or to help towards the cost of living.
If you believe that postgraduate education is the right step for you career-wise, but are unconvinced that the government loan will cover your costs, it may be that part-time study is your best option; it will enable you to combine your studies with part-time employment, securing a regular income.
The most important point here is: do your research. Don't cast the idea of a postgraduate degree aside without giving it any thought, but don't jump straight in without considering whether it's worthwhile, either. Take your time, weigh up the benefits and the downfalls, and make the right decision for you and your future career.

Great indoor living space with sun flooded living/dining room with two large frameless windows leading to a wrap-around terrace, large and luxury open plan kitchen, spacious master suite with dressing room and bathroom with Jacuzzi. Viewing highly recommended. Secure gated urbanization and only a few minutes´ walk to local facilities such as restaurants, bars, sports and schools.


Under special circumstances, AMREF Flying Doctors provide a Charity Evacuation service, whereby we will evacuate a patient in a serious medical condition free-of-charge.
38 such evacuations were carried out free of charge in 2015. This was an increase from the 20 missions carried out in 2014, 28 in 2013, 25 in 2012, and the 21 in 2011. This reflects the increasingly vital need for such humanitarian support to the local population.
The patients who benefited from this charity work were in serious medical conditions at the time the request was made. We evacuated these patients to medical facilities where they received appropriate medical care. None of the patients would have been able to afford such a service and, consequently, their lives could have been lost.
AMREF Flying Doctors is extremely appreciative of members of the community across the globe who fundraise for us so we can keep doing what we do best: save lives.

Samsung GALAXY S4 carrier and availability details revealed
Samsung has officially announced the GALAXY S4. The event kicked off with immediate talk of features and then jumped into the next best thing — the where and with who. You know, the availability timeframe and the carrier details. We didn't see specifics, but suffice to say that the GALAXY S4 will be available with a wide variety.
Samsung has said the GALAXY S4 will be available from the end of April. The roll-out will include 155 different countries and a total of 327 wireless carries. There will also be support for 3G and 4G LTE across multiple frequency bands. JK Shin, the president of Samsung has said that the GALAXY S4 will support all frequencies and standards — inlcuding global LTE roaming.
While we have some details, we obviously still need some more. Notably the specific carriers and specific launch dates. Pricing is something else that we have yet to see anything on, however we suspect that will come by way of the carriers. Speaking of which, they can feel free to begin releasing those details anytime now.
Otherwise, some of the initial highlights were talking about the 5-inch 1080p display at 441ppi and a bit about the handset weighing in at just 130 grams. Not to mention, the thinness, as in 7.9mm thin. The GALAXY S4 will also have a 1.6GHz Exynos Octa-core (or a quad-core 1.9GHz Qualcomm), 2GB of RAM and a 13 megapixel rear-facing camera.

Q: how to get SSID and Password for hotspot (kotlin) I'm trying to create a hotspot using startLocalOnlyHotspot()
my code:
var ssid = "null"
var password = "null"

wifiManager.startLocalOnlyHotspot(object : LocalOnlyHotspotCallback() {
                override fun onStarted(reservation: LocalOnlyHotspotReservation) {
                    super.onStarted(reservation)
                    if(reservation.wifiConfiguration != null) {
                        ssid = reservation.wifiConfiguration!!.SSID
                        password = reservation.wifiConfiguration!!.preSharedKey
                    }

                }

            }, Handler())

I trying to get SSID and password from startLocalOnlyHotspot()
I put default value for them both as "null" as string just to test
because I'm using this value to generate QR-code so I need string
and this value never changes however it creates a hotspot
what did I miss??

A: I'm having the same problem and found some answer in this post: Change WiFi hotspot's SSID and password in Android Oreo 8.x.However it seems that you cannot change the SSID or password with Local Only Hotspot.
Hope you find a solution.

Looking identical to its turbo-4 brother, the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has a Formula 1-inspired twin-turbo V6.
As a responsible automotive journalist, it's been my long-standing motto to avoid losing it and gushing too favorably about any car. And, in looking back a month or two, I must take full responsibility for losing it when I reviewed the Alfa Romeo Giulia TI, with its great balance and handling and its potent 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine.
Bear with me, because it's that time again.
After just enough time between driving the bright red Giulia TI and the hard-core onset of winter, I got the chance to spend a week with a flistening Trofeo White Tri-coat Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio.
If the 2.0 Giulia is the perfect sedan, then the Quadrifoglio is its muscular big brother. Reports are that parent Fiat instructed subsidiary Ferrari to assign its best Formula 1 engineers to build the hot little four, and they did well. Those engineers must have enjoyed coming to work every day to work on the Quadrifoglio, however, because they overachieved.
They were told to build engines that could make the new Giulia something truly special, and they came up with a 2.9-liter V6 — not very big, by V6 standards — and they forced power into it with twin turbochargers that resulted in 505 horsepower and 443 foot-pounds of torque. Driven through an 8-speed automatic transmission, with those giant paddles affixed to either side of the steering column, you need to be especially alert behind the wheel, because the Quadrifoglio could get away from you.
The four had a remarkable 276 horses and 295 foot-pounds of torque, and while that is far more than adequate, numbers like 505 and 443 allow the Quadrifoglio to rise to a whole 'nother universe in scorching car performance.
Twin-turbochargers extract 505 horsepoweer and 443 foot-pounds of torque from Giulia's 2.9-liter V6.
Various tests have shown the 4 to go 0-60 in less than 6 seconds; the V6 Quadrifoglio does it in 3.7 seconds. That is elite, exotic sports car territory, and this from a 4-door sedan with a real, usable back seat and trunk.
There is a similar little knob on the console where the shifter is mounted that is similar to the normal, sport, and race positions, and it is for track. That's right, in case you find a race track worthy of your time and money to run the hotter Giulia up to its formidible limtis, you can set the suspension and transmission and steering and exhaust for all-out track-style performance.
For normal driving, if there is such a thing in such a car, the normal setting is sporty enough and performs well enough. Race upgrades it all, and track puts it away.
There is no angle that the Giulia doesn't offer a compelling view.
The most impressive feature of putting the Qluadrifoglio into race or track settings is the absolutely exhilarating sound that bellows out of those quad exhaust tubes and resonates through the body of the Giulia and also through every fiber of your body. And soul. It gives me a thrill all over again just describing it.
The car's handling is near-perfect. I know, I know, I said the Giulia 2.0 was as near perfect as possible, and the best-handling car I had ever driven. I would not say the Quadrifoglio handles better, because all that extra power, in a rear-wheel-drive car, can make you immediately and constantly aware that you are always on the ragged edge of breaking away from the rear tires' grip on the surface.
That may mean the 2.0 Giulia TI is better at real-world handling, but the Quadrifoglio is the clear choice for drivers who want their abilities and concentration to be challenged every time they strap themselves into the racing bucket seat behind the steering wheel.
We are still awaiting the introduction of the Giulia with either engine and the added attraction of all-wheel drive. It's coming, we're told. So is Christmas, we would reply, if we used that sort of cliche.
Gleaming pearlescent white paint is almost as distinctive as the Giulia's signature red.
Both Giulias look alike, except for the large 4-leaf clover emblazoned on either side of the Quadrifoglio. That word, incidentally, means 4-leaf clover, which is Alfa's signature logo. Maybe it means you will have good luck if you drive one; more likely is that Alfa designers, engineers, and aficionados, are all fully aware that you are indeed lucky if you possess a new Giulia.
It takes a little cash to own one, incidentally. While the 2.0 can be bought for something in the $40,000 range, it will take about twice that much to buy a Quadrifoglio.
The base price on my test car was $72,000, and the list total, after all the options, was $89,845.
That gets you the beautiful exterior, the Formula 1 designed V6 engine, either the 8-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual shifter, and all the standard Giulia Quadrifoglio features. That list includes torque-vectoring differential, active suspension, a carbon-fiber driveshaft, rear parking, back-up, cross-traffic and blind spot alerts, auto-dimming lights controlled by infrared sensors in the windshield, remote start, rain-sensitive wipers, and stop-start.
Inside, you get genuine leather and carbon-fiber accents, power seats, Pirelli performance tires on special 19-inch alloy wheels, carbon-fiber roof and hood, bi-Xenon lights and LED accent lights, the best ceramic Brembo brakes — which really stop the car instantly — adaptive cruise, lane-departure warning, and a Harmon Kardon premium sound system.
Sweeping simplicity of dashboard, center control console and instruments let you focus on driving.
If there ever was something superfluous on the Giulia Quadrifoglio, it might be the exquisite sound system — simply because a lot of folks might prefer to click it to race and let the engine rev and the sound reverberate off the inside of your cranium.
At the price of the Quadrifoglio, you are in range of some fine, exotic cars, including Porsches, BMW, Audi, the top Corvettes, Jaguars, Maseratis and other names that make you stop and pay attention. In that company, I'll take the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. But if I had to pay for it, I'd instead buy his and hers Giulia TIs with all-wheel drive. Then my wife, Joan, wouldn't always be asking me for the keys to my car.

Storm and Fire Safety is an important part of daycare safety. All licensed home based daycare's must have emergency plans in place in the event a storm or fire occurs.
All children should have basic knowledge of storm and fire safety to feel less fearful and be able to help themselves.
All drills should be taken seriously so you are able to protect the children in your care should there be an actual storm or fire.
Fire plans must include two exits out of every room, having a fire extinguisher on the premises, knowing how to use it and having an agreed upon meeting place outside.
Storm drills must include a safe area in your home (preferably in a lower level without windows), flashlights or lanterns and a battery operated radio.
Once my children were old enough, I taught them that if they hear a big alarm "in the house", they need to get outside. If they hear a siren "outside", they need to stay in the house.
In the event of an emergency the key to survival is being prepared. Storm and fire safety should be practiced on a regular basis. Here are some tips for both storm and fire safety.
Make sure you have flashlights/lanterns and a portable radio. Replace batteries when needed to insure all products are working properly.
Unlike a fire, you HIDE during a storm.
Practice the storm drills frequently so that simple commands will instantly be obeyed. Our hiding spot is an empty area underneath the stairs in the basement. My kids learned that the command "Get Down!" meant to crouch down (knees and elbows) facing the interior wall. Teach children to place their arms over the back of their head. The simple command "Cover your head", then tells them what to do.
Teach children that in the event of a bad storm the power may go out and it may be dark.
Even during drills you should use the radio to hear weather reports. You want the drill to be as close to the real thing as possible. Let the children know they are not allowed to move until you know an all clear has been issued. Sometimes it won't be too long and other times it may take a while.
Once you have an all clear, teach children that they may have to be careful when leaving the storm area. Depending on any actual damage to your home, there may be clutter, broken glass, etc. that they have to be very careful around.
Never use your storm drill area for anything else. The area should be free of clutter at all times. In the event of an actual storm there won't be time to clean out or rearrange the area.
Time each drill. When the emergency signal sounds in your area, you may have only seconds to get to your safe place.
Watch children's videos or read children's books on storm safety.
Make sure you actually set off the alarm during the drill. Children need to become familiar with the sound. Yes, it's loud, but it serves a purpose. Drills using the alarm noise help to reduce the feeling of panic that can arise if a fire actually breaks out.
The most important thing to teach about fires is that when the alarm goes off; do not stop for any reason. Children need to be taught that even if the weather is bad outside, they should not stop for a coat or shoes, or try to take along a special toy.
Teach children how to open windows and remove screens. My older kids actually loved the fire drills since it was the only time I allowed them to jump out the windows. I also let them know that should they have to, the screens are weak and can be easily kicked out with their foot. I demonstrated this with an old screen. Children need to be taught that in the event of an actual emergency they have the right to kick out screens and break windows if necessary to get out, and they will not get in trouble for it.
Have the children practice both walking out, and crawling. Teach that both heat and smoke rise and the safest place is close to the floor. Also teach that doors need to be checked before they are opened. Check the door closer to the top, using the same theory that heat rises.
Make certain that any and all escape routes are free of clutter. You don't want children to have to maneuver around objects or move items in an attempt to escape.
Practice fire drills over and over using a variety of exits. The more they practice the more in control the children will feel. We also practiced having the bigger kids jump out the window first, and having the younger ones lifted out by me to be grabbed by the older ones. After a couple of times, the younger kids not only had no fear of going out the window, they actually thought it was fun.
Let children know that in the event of a real fire, it may be dark, smoky, and hot. Children need to know exactly what to expect along with exact instructions on what to do.
Make sure all the children understand EXACTLY where the meeting place outside is. Let them also know that once they are out, to STAY out.
Teach the STOP-DROP-ROLL technique. Let them practice many times.
Take a trip to the fire station, or have a fireman visit your daycare. The children should be able to see a fireman up close. Children are less afraid of things they have previously experienced. Let them know in the event of a real fire, they should NEVER hide (unlike a storm). Let them know that a fireman will help them IF the fireman knows where they are. Teach them they can grab the leg of the fireman when they see one.
Read books or watch videos on fire safety or fire prevention.
Time each drill. Get a stopwatch so you are aware of exactly how fast everyone exits the building. Your goal should be to have your home evacuated in less than two minutes.
Practice both storm and fire safety monthly. Keep a record of drills (some states require this) with my Storm and Fire Drill Log. Storm and fire safety needs to be an on-going process. Children always learn best through repetition.
Storm and fire safety is one small part of daycare safety. Learn all you can to keep the children as safe as possible.


On January 15, 2019, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that UnitedHealth Group's practice of offsetting overpayments made on behalf of one self-insured plan administered by United to an out-of-network provider with payments due to the provider from a different self-insured plan was unreasonable. Two providers had challenged the policy in class action lawsuits brought under ERISA in the Federal District Court for the District of Minnesota. United argued that it had the authority to implement its "cross-plan offsetting" policy because the plan documents granted it broad discretion to interpret and implement the plans. The District Court disagreed and granted partial summary judgment to the provider plaintiffs. The case was before the Eighth Circuit on interlocutory appeal.
The Eighth Circuit affirmed the District Court's ruling, finding United's policy to be unreasonable. Because the plans granted United broad discretionary authority, the Court reviewed the policy under an abuse of discretion standard. In finding the policy to be unreasonable, the Court reviewed the plan language and determined that "nothing in the plan documents even comes close to authorizing cross-plan offsetting…." Therefore, the Court stated that to "adopt United's argument that the plan language granting it broad authority to administer the plan is sufficient to authorize cross-plan offsetting would be akin to adopting a rule that anything not forbidden by the plan is permissible." The Court did not go so far as to find that the policy violated ERISA, but it found that "at the very least [the policy] approaches the line of what is permissible." The case is Peterson et al. v. UnitedHealth Group, Inc. et al., No. 17-1744.
Whatley Kallas, LLP has been investigating these unreasonable claims offsetting practices.
