It would be so easy to hate "Palo Alto." Like the HBO show "Girls," seemingly everyone involved got a leg up because of their parentage. Directed by Gia Coppola, granddaughter of Francis Ford, the lineage of the cast also wreaks of nepotism. However, in all the many factors you might employ to evaluate an artistic work, fairness, we must admit, doesn't actually come into play.
Julia Roberts' niece and Val Kilmer's son will not surprise you in the directorial feature film debut of Gia Coppola, niece of Sophia, granddaughter of Francis Ford.
So yes, it was directed by yet another impossibly cool Coppola, and is based on a book of short stories by handsome but irksome multi-hyphenate James Franco and stars him and Emma Roberts, Julia Roberts' niece and Jack Kilmer, son of Val Kilmer. So maybe not everyone involved, or anyone involved, exactly pulled themselves up by their bootstraps, but what do we expect these people to do, not use their connections so I don't get annoyed?
So while I'm willing to forgive them for their connections, a less derivative attempt from Coppola might have been in order. The music, the tone and the subject matter is so straightforwardly descended from Sofia Coppola's increasingly same work that it's absurd. Apparently, this is the world that these women know, but it's hard to remain impressed by their artfully dispassionate look into these sunny yet depressing inner sanctums. I know plenty of filmmakers tend to make the same movie over and over again, but when you're making the movie of another famous relative, I would think you'd feel silly.
The film is about chain smoking, partying, yet expressionless teenagers in California, and their various misadventures as they try to grow up and interact with the equally clueless and irresponsible adults in their lives. As the two most sensitive people around, Emma Roberts and Jack Kilmer are actually compelling, even as they retread familiar territory and meander through the film, even when it's clear that nothing much is going to happen to them.
Also lighting things up is Nat Wolff as the most animated person in the film, bad boy best friend to Jack Kilmer's character. It is interesting to watch a scene with his ridiculous and totally inappropriate father, played by Chris Messina, and the most salient thing that the film shows is how the arrested development of the adults in charge of these kids leaves them no chance to grow up without problems. Of course, this movie is too cool to judge them for that. But I'm not!
"Palo Alto" is currently available to rent.

Niall Clarke, Tennis Atlantic
Novak Djokovic secured a straight sets win on a day that saw more seeded players drop out on both sides of the tournament.
Djokovic wins; Wawrinka bows out
It has been a topsy-turvy start to the Mutua Madrid Open but Djokovic managed to avoid an upset by defeating Borna Coric 6-2, 6-4. The Serb won the first set comfortably, but the young Croatian raised his level in the second to make it more competitive. Djokovic held serve all the way to 5-4 despite facing break points and then applied the pressure to break serve and take the match in straight sets.
Djokovic said post match: "Well, second match on the clay court season for me. First one didn't go so well for me in Monte-Carlo. I had some time to recuperate I think emotionally and mentally. I needed that more than physically because it has been a very successful but very demanding start of the season, first four months. I played a lot of matches.
"So I thought it happened for a reason for me to have a little bit more time off. I came in earlier as I said, Friday. Had plenty of good practice sessions with the best players. I thought that I performed very solid in opening round. Few things could have been better.
"But, again, overall was a satisfying performance against a young player that I never played against, against somebody that was in form. I watched his match against Almagro who win a tournament last week. He beat him comfortably in two sets. That deserves respect. I knew that he likes to play in these kind of conditions.
"He's going to come out on the court not really having much to lose. But we know each other well. We practice many times. I do see myself in him a little bit. We play similar styles of the game. He's a great fighter. For his age, quite mature and mentally tough.
"You know, try to help him out whenever I can and mentor him a little bit with some advices. We have a very nice relationship. Today was the first official match we played against each other, so I was happy with my performance. It was a fun match to be part of."
There was no such luck for Stan Wawrinka as he was dumped out in straight sets by Nick Kyrgios. Despite the Aussie being unable to muster a single break point, Kyrgios raised his level in the tiebreak's to take the match 7-6, 7-6. It was a high quality match that was largely serve dominated but Kyrgios once again knocked out a Swiss in Madrid. This follows his win over Roger Federer last year.
Kei Nishikori was just a few points away from also exiting the competition, but he managed to come back in the third set despite Fabio Fognini serving for the match. The Japanese star won the first set 6-2, but the Italian raised his level in the second and third sets. However he could not finish the job and Nishikori won the final three games to escape from the jaws of defeat.
"After first set I think he start playing better than me, for sure." Nishikori said post match.
"And also third set I think he deserve to win. I think he played more aggressive and he was hitting better serves and returning well.
"I don't know what's happened to him last couple games, but a little bit some luck and — I mean, I thought played pretty good tennis first set, so I tried to keep it up, you know, my confidence, and try to play better next match."
Jack Sock (Photo: Chris Levy @Tennis_Shots for TennisAtlantic.com)
Juan Martin Del Potro is out after a straight sets defeat to Jack Sock. The American broke early and held serve to seal the set 6-4. The second set was tighter but Sock managed to take the tiebreak to seal a 6-4, 7-6 victory.
David Ferrer and Tomas Berdych also made it through. The Czech won 6-3, 6-3 against Denis Istomin whilst the Spaniard needed three sets to knock off Denis Kudla 6-4, 4-6, 6-4. Joao Sousa, Roberto Bautista Agut, Gilles Simon, Pablo Cuevas and Sam Querrey were also successful.
Kvitova out; Azarenka withdraws
In an already wild tournament on the womens side, another three seeds were knocked out- albeit in completely different circumstances.
Victoria Azarenka did not even step on court to face Louisa Chirico. The Belarusian called a press conference to announce her withdrawal from the tournament with a back injury.
"Unfortunately in my first match I think I tweaked my back a little bit. It was really cold, and, I don't know, I think it's much easier to get a little bit hurt when it's that cold.
"And the second match obviously I was in a lot of discomfort. Having a day off I thought it was going to get better. Today before my tennis warm-up it did feel better, but once I started hitting it came back.
"I don't feel that I'm able to compete today. Just trying to make smart decision for a big picture."
Kvitova failed to defend her title as she lost in straight sets to Daria Gavrilova. The Aussie came through 6-3, 6-4 to upset Kvitova for the second time this year. Hope's for a Spanish winner were dashed as Sam Stosur defeated an ill Carla Suarez Navarro 4-6, 6-2, 6-3.
Simona Halep is now the only remaining seed in the draw. The Romanian managed to avoid the upset bug by defeating Timea Bacsinszky 6-2, 6-3, thus avenging her loss in Miami.
"Yeah, it was very good revenge today. It was a nice match, and I'm happy that I could win in two sets." Halep said on her win.
It has been quite the week for Romanian tennis. Irina Begu awaits Halep in the quarter finals after a three set battle with Christina McHale. Begu lost the opening set tiebreak but came back to win the following sets 6-4, 6-4. Sorana Cirstea also continued her good form with a straight sets win over Laura Siegemund. Patricia Tig made it 4/4 for Romanians today with a straight sets win over Madison Keys.

Your May 19 article, "Pathways model prevents students from taking courses that do not transfer," did a great job of bringing students up to date with current measures aimed at transferring larger amounts of coursework to four-year universities.
As a sophomore at Northeast Lakeview College currently working toward earning transfer credits, I constantly struggle to balance work, family life and my course studies.
This is a battle that is exceedingly difficult some days being married with three small children ages 10 and younger.
Obtaining a bachelor's degree will not only benefit myself personally, in regards to obtaining a career in a desired field of work, but will also benefit the financial stability of my family.
In order to achieve this goal in a somewhat affordable fashion, I am currently taking basic courses at the community college level with the plan to transfer to Texas State University to finish out the major coursework required for my specific degree plan.
My frustration with this degree process is that some of the courses I am currently taking may not be transferable.
Not only is there the possibility that I will have to retake these courses at the university, but my family will be required to pay tuition a second time for a one course subject.
This concept is a waste of time and money, two things that my family cannot afford to give up.
The implementation of the new model of Pathways would prevent students like myself from having to retake courses at the university level and would be more cost-efficient in the long run for both students and taxpayers.

When I entered the industry, there were in excess of 30,000 retailers nationwide meaning we have lost one-third of the industry by door count. Several of the wholesalers and manufacturers lamented to me that 2016 was the worst year they have experienced including 2009. In the meantime, Signet has now topped 3,600 stores. I see two pending issues that face the independent category. First, at what point do suppliers abandon building their business with the independent, and put their effort exclusively on chasing the majors? Second, independents continue to close their doors due to retirement. Bankruptcies are virtually non-existent, but there is no tangible resale value in the business, and the only one making money is the GOB companies. In an older article in The Wall Street Journal, jewelry was the last category dominated by the independent. While there will always be an independent presence (hopefully more than repair shops), the industry as a whole (manufacturers, wholesalers, designers, buying groups, and retailers) will need to work together to change the trend.
While the number this year might not be as high as 2009, the post-recession years presumably claimed the weakest businesses. The fact that after years of clearing out, the numbers are still in the same ballpark is noteworthy, and clearly indicates the trend still has a lot of momentum behind it. It's not getting easier to make a traditional retail jewelry store work just because the competition is thinning out.

The Ashford Formula, manufactured by Curecrete Chemical, Inc., was the first product to protect and seal concrete through the process of chemical densification. Unlike coatings or membranes that simply lie on top of the concrete and eventually wear off, the Ashford Formula penetrates the surface of the concrete and reacts chemically with it to produce a dense, harder, more stable surface. Ashford Formula locks in the salts in the concrete and completely eliminates annoying dust. The results are permanent, so no re-treatment is ever required. The product is commonly specified for use in manufacturing plants, warehouse, exhibit halls, stadiums, retail facilities, and distribution centers. Environmentally friendly, odorless, water-based, nontoxic, and simple to apply. Now available worldwide. Learn more at www.ashfordformula.com.
A colorless, transparent liquid that penetrates concrete and masonry building materials, protecting, preserving, and strengthening them. It does this by solidifying the components of the concrete into one solid mass. The effect is to increase density, toughen, harden, and seal out moisture for the life of the building material.

Prep Hoops Top 250 Expo rapped on Saturday in Myrtle Beach, SC. The event was pushed back one week after Hurricane Florence arrived in the Carolinas. Lets take a look at some of the youth in the event from the 2022 Class.
Gillespie has seem to grown since we saw him last this summer playing with Team Wall Southeast – Marion. Gillespie was playing a lot of point guard today and was really finding the open man on the floor along with being vocal. Gillespie hit a few pull-up jumpers off the bounce in return. Gillespie has really good length and should see some quality minutes this year for the Braves.
Terry Jr. was a teammate of Gillespie with Team Wall Southeast-Marion. Terry Jr. uses the ball screen well to find the open shot. Terry Jr. was able to penetrate the gap and dish. Terry Jr is the son of Conway HS Football Coach Carlton Terry. Terry Jr. connected on a few mid-range jumpers today.
Davila is a slender-sleek athlete that really plays the passing lanes. Davila is a pogo stick on the floor. Davila is extremely active and never took plays off during the camp.
Leviner we first saw this summer at the Carvers Bay Summer League. Leviner likes to set up shots behind the line and in the corners. Leviner is a very quiet kid on the floor Leviner doesn't have a conventional looking shot but it does go in.
Adams is a long and athletic wing for the Bulldogs. Adams fills the lane in transition and has a very quick shot release. Adams plays very mature for his age on the floor and just being a incoming freshman.
Howell is a RAW talent but is already 6'5 entering the 9th grade for the Bulldogs. Howell should see action this season for Head Coach Mike Ford and the Bulldogs.
Richardson is a very slender left-handed forward. Richardson averaged 18 ppg last season for the Kingfishers. The Georgetown School has less than 50 boys in the school and plays in the SCISA 1-A ranks. Richardson must get stronger and add weight for the future.
Mathis plays in the post and really does a good job of moving and screening. Mathis is a blue collar kid that doesn't mind drawing contact in the paint.
Ivery has a great look already at such a young age. Ivery needs to play hard at all times but for sure as all the attributes to be a player. Ivery will rebound the ball outside of his area.

Inside the Digital Art Museum of Tokyo for a total immersion into the works
Danila Ipri De Santis
On June 21st this year, the first museum in the world dedicated entirely to digital art opened in the Mori building
One month after it opened, the Mori Building Digital Art Museum in Tokyo already has two achievements to its name: only two years went by from the beginning of construction to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, and tickets have been sold out since the day of the inauguration.
The Mori Building, the museum venue, rises on the artificial island of Odaiba, a very popular tourist destination for visitors to Tokyo. Connected to the city centre by the Rainbow Bridge, it is also the location of the Fuji TV headquarters, in the building designed by Kenzo Tange in 1997.
Its peculiarity is that it allows visitors a total immersion into the artwork, as the official video released a few days before the opening demonstrates.
To understand what digital art is, just look around. We find it at various levels of quality as special effects in films, in electronic music, and even in the animated GIFs we share on social media.
It is the latest frontier of art itself: it allows us to visualize places that exist only in the minds of the artists who created them, just as it allows us to enter and visit places that exist without our physical presence. Furthermore, it is extremely democratic in its use: if the work is well-structured, it is immediately comprehensible. There is no need for either filters or explanations, nor does the material require studying. You are simply immersed in a different dimension.
Anyone who visited the Japanese Pavilion during Expo 2015 in Milan got a small taste in the two installations it housed, but the Mori Digital Art Museum wishes to become a unique destination, especially in view of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.
Maria Elena Viggiano, journalist
Funded by the Mori Building Co., the project was built entirely by teamLab, a group of around 400 creative professionals that includes mathematicians, engineers, creative professionals and artists gathered under the aegis of Epson. As explained on the website, «teamLab believes that the digital domain can expand the possibilities of art, and that digital art can create new relationships between people».
The Digital Art Museum develops across a three-dimensional space of over 10,000 square metres, with 520 computers working in synchro with 470 latest-generation projectors, creating a single, huge and unprecedented "sensory environment". All the installations reflect one of themes the collective loves best, which is deeply rooted in the Japanese culture: exploring the relationship between Man and Nature.
The theme of the exhibition, Borderless, is developed in over 50 works. Titles such as "Multi jumping Universe", "Vortex of light", "Memory of Topography", "Forest of Resonating Lamp" lead the viewer towards an interactive experience of interchange with the artwork, because the visitors' position, physical contact and direction change the trajectories and movements of the figures withing each single artwork in real time.
No canvases, painting or monitors, but walks through large installations made to be touched and to physically walk through.
A short journey through the most important works is offered by the Ikidane Nippon channel:
This museum takes full advantage of the evolution of digital technology, leaving the field wide open for artistic expression and definitively abandoning the static and material supports of artworks.
«The advent of digital technology makes it possible for human expression to set itself free from physical constraints, so that it may exist and evolve freely», explains TeamLab.
You can enjoy a different experience every day. There are various monitors and projectors (and) people can become part of the artwork. There are no boundaries and boundaries themselves have been abandoned.
Takashi Kudo, communications director of teamLab

The communication director of teamLab explains his thoughts in greater depth: «When you create something, the boundaries remain. If you paint a picture for example, or shape a sculpture, you can't change them. But with digital art you can always change the work because the digital work does not actually exist».
And he concludes: «We really want to take people deep inside our artworks.»

When the last school bell of the year rings, your child probably feels excited for a relaxing summer vacation. Every student needs a break from the routine and rigor of a busy school year. Although summer break should certainly be enjoyed, too long of a pause in learning will result in learning loss – otherwise known as regression. According to the Johns Hopkins School of Education students lose 2.6 months of grade-level equivalency in math computation skills over summer break. The area that suffers the most for all students is factual/procedural knowledge.
programs at your library, school or local bookstore, which often offer younger children rewards for completing certain reading milestones.
• Write often. Encourage your child to write letters, keep a journal, get together with friends to start a neighborhood newsletter or even collaborate with siblings or cousins to create a family newsletter. Encourage your child's inner storyteller. Don't focus on correcting mistakes – keep it fun and simply allow your child to practice.
• Review prior year assignments.
If you've saved some of your child's work throughout the school year (or textbooks), spend a few minutes each evening reviewing past assignments. Before school lets out, ask the teacher what concepts are especially important to brush up on throughout the summer.
• Take classes. Most communities offer a range of fun, educational programs and class for children of all ages – through museums or community/arts centers. Check out what is available and of interest to your child.
• Attend a summer learning program. Huntington Learning Center offers customized summer learning programs for children of all ages, which are a great way to keep students learning and reduce any summer regression.
It doesn't take a monumental effort to help students minimize regression during the summer months. Questions on how to help your child retain what he or she has learned? Call Maggie Lage at the Huntington Learning Center in Newark.
Learn more about Huntington at www.HuntingonHelps.com.
Huntington is prepared and excited to embrace those challenges together.

Lyon produced a stirring fightback to claw back two superb goals from Shakhtar Donetsk's Junior Moraes and rescue a 2-2 draw behind closed doors in a thrilling end-to-end contest at their Groupama Stadium on Tuesday.
Lyon, serving a one-game crowd ban for trouble caused by their fans during their Europa League tie against CSKA Moscow in March, looked set to pay the price as their early performance fell as flat as the atmosphere in the eerily-silent 59,000-seat arena.
Looking nothing like the inspired, organised outfit that had defeated Manchester City sensationally 2-1 in England in their opening Group F match, Lyon were outplayed in the first half and deservedly fell behind just before the break to a superb left-footed strike from Moraes.
The Brazilian then doubled the lead with an even better second 10 minutes after half-time, curling his slide rule, side-footed effort into the corner from a narrow angle.
Suddenly, if belatedly, Lyon roused themselves, with Moussa Dembele finally heading one back in the 70th minute after having already missed two fine chances and Leo Dubois striking his first goal for the club just a couple of minutes later.
Both sides hunted for the winner with abandon in the last quarter-hour with first the Ukrainians looking as if they might collapse under the fightback but then almost stealing victory with a late flourish when a shot from substitute Olarenwaju Kayode struck the bar.
The draw left Lyon still at the head of the table on four points but Manchester City, who had earlier won 2-1 at Hoffenheim, took over in second place with three points as Shakhtar had to settle for a second successive 2-2 draw.

Door hangers with tear off cards are a great way to promote your company or products. The bottom portion is a detachable 2 x 4 card that is great for coupons or a promotional message. The standard size allows for a larger card attached giving you more room to discuss your promotion. The standard 4.25" X 11" is the most common size door hanger distributed. The 100lb Gloss Cover stock is a semi flexible stock similar to a thin postcard and the 16 point stock is for those who prefer a thicker stock as this is similar to a firm postcard.
Door hangers are a great way to launch a marketing campaign and the perforated bottoms are not only a terrific way to attach a coupon or some other type of promotion, it is also a great way to monitor the return on your investment. Every time a customer presents the tear off coupon you know they were a result of your door hanger marketing effort. Don't forget to include vibrant images and text promoting your product or service so that your door hanger displays an attractive message.


2017 was a busy year for the Public Sector Accounting Board (PSAB or the "Board"). Five new CPA Canada Public Sector Accounting Handbook (PSA Handbook) Sections became effective as did the amendments to the Introduction to Public Sector Accounting Standards. Additionally, the Board and its task forces advanced the progress of existing projects including issuing two Exposure Drafts, a Statement of Principles and an Invitation to Comment. This publication will provide an overview of these projects as well as a review of the standards that are effective for public sector entities this year and those that will become effective over the next few years.


Fall & Halloween Finds at Kmart - It's Gravy, Baby!
We've spent the last couple years buying seasonal decor for the inside of our home, but this year we chose to move our efforts to the outside. Using finds from Kmart, our home is now ready for fall- inside and out.
I found these cute scarecrows at Kmart online. They are made to hold pumpkins, but could be used for flower pots too. They're perfect for fall and they are welcoming on each side of our front door. We also purchased our pumpkins at our local Kmart store.
The kids helped me pick out these Halloween window stickers from Kmart. They add a fun touch to our front door too.
So now, we are all set for Halloween and the fall season. The house is decorated, the costumes are picked out, and the pumpkins are carved. The kids are so excited to go trick-or-treating Halloween night!
Don't forget about the fun Kmart Kreator where you can upload your child's photo and virtually try on different costumes!
I received a gift card to purchase Halloween decor and costumes. All thoughts and opinions remain my own, as always.
I love the flower pot holders you used to display pumpkins! So cute!
Oooh, I have a Kmart about 2 minutes from me… I don't go there often but I think I might have to check them out for Fall decor – not so much into Halloween decorating but I love Autumn! Thanks for sharing!
I went Halloween shopping at Kmart last year. I got a lot of cool things.

Aetna's third-quarter earnings rose nearly 8 per cent to top Wall Street forecasts, as growing government business and cost cutting countered higher costs from the health insurer's Affordable Care Act coverage.
Aetna's enrolment in government programs like Medicaid and Medicare grew 11 per cent, to nearly 4.5 million people, while its much larger commercial business fell compared to last year's quarter.
The insurer also said on Thursday that it set aside $US20 million to cover expected future losses from its individual commercial business, which includes the ACA's public insurance exchanges.
Aetna has said it has been swamped by higher-than-expected costs from that business, and it announced in August that it will chop its exchange participation down to four states in 2017, from 15 this year.
The state-based public exchanges are a key element behind the ACA's push to expand insurance coverage, but they face challenges on many fronts. Insurers have had a hard time attracting younger, healthy customers to the still-evolving market, and several carriers have scaled back their participation. Many that remain are seeking premium hikes of 25 per cent or more.
Health insurance is Aetna's main product, and most of the 23.1 million people it covers come from commercial insurance sold through employers or directly to individuals.
Overall, the nation's third-largest health insurer earned $US603.9 million in the three months that ended September 30. That's up from the $US560.1 million last year. Earnings adjusted for one-time items came in at $US2.07 per share and operating revenue rose 5 per cent to $US15.74 billion.
Industry analysts had expected earnings of $US2.04 per share on $US15.73 billion in revenue, according to FactSet.
Aetna shaved its general and administrative expenses about 1 per cent to $US2.42 billion the quarter, which helped keep its operating expenses nearly flat.
The Hartford, Connecticut, insurer also narrowed its 2016 forecast, dropping the top end of its range by a nickel, which pushed it just below analyst expectations. The company now expects full-year adjusted earnings of $US7.95 to $US8.05 per share.
Analysts project $US8.06 per share.
Aside from dealing with ACA challenges, Aetna also has been fighting to preserve its $US34-billion purchase of rival Humana Inc. The US Department of Justice sued last summer to block that deal and another major acquisition, Blue Cross-Blue Shield carrier Anthem Inc.'s proposed purchase of Cigna Corp.
After reaching a string of new, all-time high prices last year, Aetna Inc. shares have failed to keep up with the broader market so far in 2017. The stock closed at $US111.01 on Wednesday and has climbed almost 3 per cent this year. The Standard & Poor's 500 index, meanwhile, has advanced nearly 5 per cent.

Q: REST API GET with sensitive data I'm designing api with method that should be an idempotent, and should not modify any data on the server. It should be method that process request and return response for given parameters.
One of the parameters is sensitive data. It's not an option to use additional encryption. Data is already encrypted, but security requirements are very demanding and even encrypted data should be treated very carefully.
According to REST spec, idempotent query method should be implemented as a GET HTTP method. Problem in this case is sensitive data that shouldn't be pass as a GET parameter in URL. Only option in HTTP standard is to pass sensitive data in a body part of HTTP request.
My question is what is better? Broke rest api design, and send query request as a POST, or pass encrypted data in URL? Maybe is there better solution I don't see?

A:
According to REST spec, idempotent query method should be implemented
as a GET HTTP method.

2016
As far as I can tell with my limited English SHOULD != MUST. You won't break REST API design by sending a POST in this case. You can send your sensitive data in a HTTP header if that is possible. And ofc. you should use HTTPS if you want to send sensitive data to anywhere.
2019
I checked the HTTP 1.1 standard meanwhile. They don't explicitly use the MUST or SHOULD words in the specs for idempotency, but I got the impression they mean SHOULD. Another HTTP related thing here, that we use GET mostly because we can cache response with it. You don't necessarily want to cache sensitive data, so it might not make sense to insist on using GET on retrieval when security is more important by the parameters. You can find some tips about how to set cache-control headers here, but you can read the HTTP standard for that too.
From security perspective my non-expert opinion is the following:
Normally query parameters are not that sensitive, usually they are just random ids or keywords. So maybe the problem is with your design and you should hide these sensitive parameters (e.g. social security number) behind random ids instead of querying them explicitly. Another thought here, that user credentials must be in the Authorization header for example, not in the query string, so if the sensitive data is that kind, then you are doing it wrong.
As far as I understand the issue about sending sensitive data in URLs is that it can show up in browser history, cache, address bar and in server logs unencrypted. Even though many people call REST webservices directly from browser via AJAX (or the fetch API), that is not the intended way they should be used. Webservices are mostly for server side usage to scale out your application to multiple threads, cores or servers. So if you use a server side HTTP client which does not have history or cache to call the REST webservice programmatically, then all you need to do is encrypting your logs. If the client has cache, then you can encrypt that too if you feel it necessary. I think it is possible to filter these params from logs and store the cached content based on the salted hash of the URL, but I don't have much experience with that.
If you have a 3rd party client or a browser where you don't have that kind of control, then you can still assume that it follows the HTTP standard. So you can use the cache-control headers to disable cache for sensitive content. The address bar and history is not a problem by single page applications unless they move the sensitive data to there with the history API, but that can happen no matter what you do. It is possible to disable the Referrer header too. Only if you serve HTML with your webservice will you have a problem with browsers, because that assumes that javascript is disabled (so you cannot use location.replace to override browser history along with the sensitive querystring) and that the browser is your REST client. I think that is a very unlikely scenario, though it is possible to do it relative well with XML+XSL reusing most of the code or nowadays maybe with nodejs or some sort of transpiler on different languages.
So I think this can be solved even without POST if you do everything right. But this is just an opinion, I wait for security expert to correct me...

Qasim Naqvi - Beta
1LP Colored Limited Edition - $964.00
Label: Erased Tapes Records
Meant as a sister release to last year's acclaimed six-part modular synth suite Teenages, Beta is a series of experiments chronicling Naqvi's understanding of writing for this type of instrument and the growth of the instrument itself. If Teenages captured the sound of electronics living, breathing and mutating of their own accord, Beta rather describes the moment they came to life. The B-side features a previously unreleased live version of the title track Teenages, which was recorded at the first Erased Tapes x LCO: Purcell Session at Southbank Centre, London in February 2019.

Konami revenue and income falls in the first quarter
Japanese publisher Konami saw a 17 per cent decline in net revenues in the quarter leading up to June 30th, while the firm's quarterly net income fell by over 90 per cent despite strong performance in some sectors.
For the three month period, the firm had revenues of 47.3 billion Yen (350 million Euro), a 17.6 per cent decline on the 57.4 billion Yen (435 million Euro) revenues recorded in the same period in 2003.
Operating income fell by 69.3 per cent to 2.95 billion Yen (21.8 million Euro), while the net income figure experienced the sharpest drop of all, falling some 93.7 per cent to 264 million Yen (1.9 million Euro).
The largest decline by sector was in the company's toy and hobby division, where revenues fell by almost 60 per cent, but the computer and video game sector also witnessed a decline of around 40 per cent, with revenues falling from 13.1 billion Yen (97 million Euro) in 2003 to 9.1 billion Yen (67.4 million Euro) in Q1 2004.
By contrast, a number of the company's divisions did actually see revenue growth - particularly the amusement arcade and gaming (gambling machine) divisions, which recorded growth of 36 per cent and 28 per cent respectively, while revenues from the firm's health and fitness division (which operates a large number of health clubs and gyms around Japan) stayed solid, with a small 1 per cent growth factor.
Despite the relatively weak performance of the video games sector, the company noted that E3 reaction to its line-up was largely positive, and hailed domestic sales of Professional Baseball Spirits 2004 and Silent Hill 4: The Room as being "favourable" - while the Yu-Gi-Oh series continued to be grow in popularity in the USA and Europe.
For the full year, Konami's outlook remains unchanged; the firm expects net revenues for the 12 months to March 31, 2005 to be broadly stable year-on-year at 275 billion Yen (2 billion Euro), while operating and net income will fall somewhat from FY2004, with projections calling for 28 billion Yen (207 million Euro) and 15 billion Yen (111 million Euro) respectively.

i would like to display the picture without creat a Directory to apload the file

A: You should define new route and controller for retrieving image. Something like this:
# routing.yml
my_image_route:
    pattern: /images/{id}
    defaults: {_controller: AcmeDemoBundle:Default:some}

and controller:
<?php
namespace Acme\DemoBundle\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\Controller;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
    public function someAction($id)
    {
        $em = $this->get('doctrine')->getManager();
        $image_obj = $em->getRepository('AcmeDemoBundle:Image')->find($id);
        return new Response(
            $image_obj->getImg(),
            Response::HTTP_OK,
            array('content-type' => 'image/jpeg');
        }
}

and in template simply generate this route
{{ path('my_image_route', {'id': image.id}) }}

Canada's dollar dropped against its U.S. counterpart by the most in six months as a drop in retail sales and a third tightening of mortgage terms increased bets the Bank of Canada may delay further rate increases.
The Canadian currency also declined after economic reports in the U.S. were weaker than expected and a measure of China's manufacturing probably shrank for an eighth month. BOC Governor Mark Carney, speaking today in Halifax, Nova Scotia, reiterated that he may raise interest rates as the economy continues to move toward full output.
Canada's currency, nicknamed the loonie for the image of the water bird on the C$1 coin, fell 1.12 percent to C$1.0297 at 5 p.m. in New York, the biggest drop since Dec. 12. One Canadian dollar buys 97.12 U.S. cents.
Canadian 10-year bonds rose, pushing the yield down three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 1.75 percent. The yield touched 1.615 percent on June 1, the lowest since 1950, according to Bloomberg and Bank of Canada data.
"To the extent that the economic expansion continues and the current excess supply in the economy is gradually absorbed, some modest withdrawal of the present considerable monetary policy stimulus may become appropriate," Carney said according to the text of his remarks to the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies.
The world's 10th largest economy grew at a 1.9 percent annualized pace in the first quarter as the country's ratio of household debt to disposable income rose to a record. Carney has held his policy rate at 1 percent since September 2010 in the longest pause since the 1950s.
Retail sales in April decreased 0.5 percent to C$38.9 billion ($38.1 billion), after a 0.4 percent gain in the previous month, Statistics Canada said today in Ottawa. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg News forecast 0.2 percent growth, based on the median of 22 projections.
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said he will tighten mortgage terms as the Group of Seven country with the soundest government finances tries to avert a household debt crisis.
The government will shorten the maximum amortization period on mortgages the government insures to 25 years from 30 years, and lower the maximum amount homeowners can borrow against the value of their homes to 80 percent from 85 percent, Flaherty said in a statement delivered in Ottawa. Flaherty has already reduced the amortization limits twice since 2008.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's general economic index fell to minus 16.6 in June, the lowest level since August, from minus 5.8 the previous month. Economists forecast the gauge would improve to zero, the dividing line between growth and contraction, according to the median estimate in a Bloomberg News survey. The report covers eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware.
Jobless claims decreased by 2,000 to 387,000 in the week ended June 16, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 45 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for 383,000. The four-week average, a less volatile measure, climbed to the highest of the year.
A report showed manufacturing in China may shrink for an eighth month in June, damping demand for the currencies of commodity exporting countries. A preliminary reading today for a Chinese purchasing managers' index was 48.1 for June from HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics. Above-50 readings indicate expansion.
The U.S. dollar rose against all of its major counterparts as investors sought greenback's safety. The Canadian dollar rose against 10 of its 16 major counterparts.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (SPX) fell 2.2 percent and the Thomson Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index (CRY) of raw materials dropped 2.1 percent. Crude oil, Canada's largest export, fell 4.7 percent to $77.97 a barrel in New York.
The currency fell yesterday after the Fed fulfilled analysts' expectations by extending a measure of monetary stimulus yesterday.
The loonie last traded on a one-to-one basis with its U.S. peer on May 15, when it reached 99.90 Canadian cents per U.S. dollar. The Canadian dollar appreciated 23 percent from December 2008 through June 2011, when the Fed bought $2.3 trillion of assets in two rounds of stimulus known as quantitative easing.

Notosuchus (; 'southern crocodile') is an extinct genus of South American notosuchian crocodylomorph. It was terrestrial, living approximately 85 million years ago in the Santonian stage of the Late Cretaceous.

Description
Notosuchus was relatively small, reaching  in length and a weight of . Remains have been found in the Bajo de la Carpa Formation in Patagonia, Argentina. First named in 1896, Notosuchus was the first known notosuchian. The type species is N. terrestris. A second species, N. lepidus, was named in 1957.

A paper published in 2008 by Fiorelli and Calvo described new remains of the type species N. terrestris. In it, the authors suggested that the skull would have supported a short trunk, or "hog's snout" as well as fleshy upper and lower lips. The anteriorly directed nares and the absence of a bony nasal septum (which presumably indicates cartilaginous tissue serving its place) provide evidence for a trunk-like snout, while striations on the surface of the nasal bones and the lower jaw most likely acted as attachment points for the nasolabial muscles and the depressor muscle, respectively. Additionally, the authors suggested that a lateral rim on the dentary as well as numerous aligned neurovascular foramina are evidence of soft cheek-like muscular tissue. The function of the trunk was likely  used for searching for food by sniffing the ground in a manner similar to extant suids and peccaries, while the cheeks would aid in mastication by preventing food loss. A re-description of the skull material has since lent evidence toward minimal soft-tissue enhancement to the snout of Notosuchus.

An interpersonal relationship is an association between two or more people that may range in duration from brief to enduring. This association may be based on inference, love, solidarity, regular business interactions, or some other type of social commitment. Interpersonal relationships are formed in the context of social, cultural and other influences.


The strength of your windows is tied heavily to their supportive walls. If the walls are suffering from damage or a weak build, the windows are more likely to crack. And that kind of damage is more likely to occur in a home that is suffering from severe foundation damage. Read on to understand why your foundation is forcing you to buy replacement windows, and what you can do about it.
One of the biggest issues that affects a home's windows is fall damage. That problem often occurs if you aren't careful when you are opening and closing them. However, modern windows are designed to stay up on their own without special help. Unfortunately, even the best windows may start falling and cause cracks throughout the glass.
There are a few reasons that windows may start falling in this way. Typically, it has to do with a failing support system in the window itself. This problem is typical when foundation damage or other issues cause excessive strain on the structure of a building. This situation can cause serious problems to spread through the frames and even the glass of the windows through your home. Generally foundation damage is heralded by other problems, such as cracks in basement walls and other types of damage in the home.
The trickiest part of this issue is the fact that you have to approach it with special care. For example, you need to fix the foundation before you repair a window. This process often requires jacking up the house, spotting the foundation damage, and repairing it. It can cost anywhere from about $2,000 to $10,000 to perform, with an average of just under $4,000.
And then you need to replace all the windows that are affected by the shifted foundation. Thankfully, this isn't as expensive as it is to repair a foundation. However, it can add up if you don't catch these problems early. Replacement of a window is typically from $300 to $700 or so. Obviously, the more windows that are damaged, the more problems you're going to have with this issue.
So don't hesitate to talk to a window specialist about window replacement and the damage a poor foundation could be doing to your windows. They can help assess the issue and find a way to fix it quickly and efficiently. They may even be able to help you find a foundation repair specialist who can help.

Nearly 7,000 people threatened to cancel their newspaper subscriptions. Here's what got them to stay. 7/16/19
You're a print newspaper subscriber, and one morning your paper doesn't show up. You call customer service (how brave of you!) and threaten to cancel. The apologetic customer service rep offers you a discount for the remainder of your subscription, which you accept. But what will you do when that subscription comes up for renewal?
According to a new study from Notre Dame and Emory, newspaper subscribers who receive a short-term price adjustment to quell the disappointment of a delivery failure are actually less likely to renew their subscription when the time comes – suggesting that newspapers might want to adjust their tactics for addressing customer complaints. Among the things they can try instead: Renewal discounts, extending or upgrading the subscriber's existing subscription, and regularly taking the opportunity to remind customers of what the "full" subscription price is.

Adams Publishing chooses LEAP 5/21/19
By Jane Nicholes, SNPA Correspondent
For Adams Publishing Group, cutting edge technology and automation will give even the smallest community newspaper marketing and subscriber retention capabilities that weren't possible before.
APG has selected LEAP Media Solutions for the job. LEAP, based in Raleigh, N.C., is a full-service provider of data-optimized omnichannel marketing solutions. Its clients include GateHouse Media, Tribune Publishing and Shaw Media Group among many others.
For APG, LEAP is a high-end solution for community papers with small circulation staffs. Founded in 2013 by Mark Adams with the support of his family, APG consists of 27 daily papers, more than 100 non-dailies and other media businesses in 15 states and the District of Columbia.
"Our circulation departments are focused on getting the paper out every day, and this type of marketing seems to go by the wayside. We just never get to it. That is why we decided to go with LEAP," said Esther Maina, vice president of circulation and marketing and audience development.
According to its news release, "LEAP specializes in the media industry, applying best practices in the use of data, analytics and multi-channel marketing to drive digital and print subscriber initiatives, enhance customer value and diversify revenue. At the heart of those solutions is the BlueVenn Omnichannel Marketing Hub, specifically tailored to deliver analytics and customer journeys that grow, engage and monetize audiences."
Maina said the technology is "head and shoulders" above anything else she's seen in a newspaper career dating back to 1981. "It's like a wizard machine," she said.
Growing circulation and audience starts and ends in the newsroom 4/23/19
By Cindy Durham, SNPA
The newsroom plays a key element in any newspaper's circulation and audience development goals, industry leaders told members of SNPA's NEX GEN Class during a video conference call last week.
Executives who addressed this month's topic were:
Jeff DeLoach, president of the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
David Kirkman, vice president of audience services, Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Mark Adams, audience acquisition and retention manager, The Post and Courier, Charleston, S.C. Adams also is a member of the NEX GEN Class of 2018-19.
Among the key takeaways shared with the group:
Retaining current subscribers is much more efficient than acquiring new ones.
Utilizing value-selling techniques with each subscriber touch point is critical – especially with incoming calls.
Reader revenue, both print and digital, has growing importance for future financial health, not only audience needs.
Traditional sales channels will remain important, enhanced with innovative digital marketing (email and social media).
Market audience leadership through quality content is essential.
