Cancer affects everyone, so we believe that information about cancer should be available to everyone!
One of the main goals of PRO is to provide access to a collection of available information regarding the history, paleo-epidemiology and bio-cultural context of cancer in the past. This information has been made available both for research and for public education purposes, as we believe we have a responsibility to make paleo-oncological research accessible to everyone, including non-specialists.
In our effort to provide educational material for people touched by cancer, and curious, public readers, we will provide introductory videos and texts about:
normal cell growth
abnormal cell growth
benign vs. malignant tumors
the mechanics of cancer
macroscopic and microscopic cancer identification methods in living patients and human remains
detailed descriptions of different cancers
new discoveries in the media
We hope that these educational resources will help to educate the public about cancer. As Helen Keller once said, "knowledge is love, light and vision." PRO believes that knowledge, while dealing with cancer, can also be so much more than that. It can be hope.
Open Source Accessibility
"Knowledge is like money: to be of value it must circulate, and in circulating it can increase in quantity and, hopefully, in value" – Louis L'Amour
PRO believes that open access to paleo-oncological information will help to ensure researcher accountability, facilitate methodological standardization, and encourage the meta-analysis of paleo-oncological data. We strive to provide a centralized space for the collection and dissemination of paleo-oncological research and data. We are also advocates of public education and academic inclusivity.
Inter-disciplinary Collaboration
"It is the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) that those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed."
-attributed to Charles Darwin
PRO is a strong advocate of inter-disciplinary collaboration. We believe in the incorporation of expertise from scholars in diverse fields such as bioarchaeology, anthropology, linguistics, statistics, science and medicine. In doing this, our goal is to better understand the history, presentation, and impact of cancer in ancient and modern times.
PRO stands for:
"The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings." - Albert Schweitzer
The Paleo-oncology Research Organization (PRO) believes in academically and ethically responsible research. We actively, and constantly, work to prioritize and maintain PRO's academic integrity. We believe in the peer review process, as well as the use of scientific methods and anthropological paradigms to contribute to our collective knowledge of human history.
We support efforts to reduce the use of known cancer-causing factors (carcinogens) in industry and at home. We also recognize the need for further research and the independent and unbiased reproduction of scientific results to positively identify these carcinogens and their impact on the human body. Through the study of cancer and carcinogens throughout history, PRO strives to contribute to the knowledge of possible causative factors in the development of cancer.
We recognize and respect the impact that cancer has had on modern and ancient individuals and societies. We strive to maintain sensitivity to individuals' experiences with cancer, and hope to provide information to those who suffer from cancer about the long history of this complex collection of diseases, which can be better understood through evolutionary medicine. We believe that post-industrial carcinogens are not solely responsible for the development of cancer in modern populations.
We believe in the power of philanthropy and the importance of all cancer research. We actively support modern cancer research organizations and share a goal of raising awareness about cancers. PRO executives also contribute to modern cancer research organizations by sharing their resources, raising awareness of their specific causes, participating in their events, and personally donating to their causes.
We believe in social responsibility, strong business ethics and transparency. We respect our donors and are truly grateful for their faith and generosity. In turn, we endeavor to provide regular PRO business and financial updates and to protect donors' rights.
We believe in the value of a dollar, and that every dollar truly counts. We strive to stretch every donation to its fullest potential, as we are committed and passionate about raising awareness about the growing field of evolutionary medicine and, more importantly, facilitating paleo-oncological research!

Paleo-oncology: The study of cancer in antiquity


One thousand. Could be a big number, could be small. Depends, right? Well, for me, a thousand is just a little goal I'd like to hit to kick off the new year. I only need a few more "likes" on my Facebook author page to hit that goal and move toward the next.
Want to help get me over that hump? The publishing/marketing gurus say the best way to sell a book is by word of mouth. You know, you tell a friend about this great book/author you read.
So here's the plan. Visit my Darlene Deluca Author page on Facebook. You like the page and tag a friend or two in the comments and encourage them to like the page, too (not this post). They also like the page and leave a comment (so I know who they are), and you all are included in a drawing for a $10 Amazon gift card!
3. Friend likes page and comments/replies to your tag.
4. Everyone gets a chance to win!


Everybody should probably have a supply. I don't, but I'll wait until the hysteria dies down to get some.
It's prescription only in Florida acording to my local drug dealer.
Hunh, imagine that. Not here and not online. Thanks for checking, though, JF.
I'm going to double check tomorrow where the wife works. It doesn't make sense.
I know it's only for temporary emergency use, but make sure you don't have any contraindicating conditions. Some blood pressure medications like ACE-inhibitors can lead to excessive potassium levels if you consume potassium-containing supplements. Also if you have any sort of cardiac arrhythmia potassium levels can be critical.
Good precautionary note G. I'll have to pass that along to my brother.
OK the idiot I spoke to at the drug store was FOS. I found a place that carries it and will do mail order. She said that she was out but she has access to it no problem. But before you do that have you guys checked local health stores IE viatmin stores in the area. I checked with the local GNC and they don't carry it at all.
If you guys need the PH# I have it.
I'll just wait until my order is backfilled, JF, but thanks.
When I checked my local GNC, some time ago, admittedly, the idiot there didn't even know what it was.

Q: General Query about Placement of JavaScript code I am building a demo app with 3 screens. One screen captures barcode from the camera. The second screen displays information about the barcodes. The third screen is just the home screen used to redirect to the two screens.
After I scan the barcodes, I have to make an online query to find information about the barcodes, such as name of the item, manufacturer etc.
For which screen should I connect this functionality to. Should I put the code in the script for the scanning HTML page or the one which displays it?
Is there an option where it happens in the background when none of the two pages are open.
EDIT: I can't attach it to the the home screen page because the user can redirect from one to the other without the home screen as well :(

Do you have a CAA Permission for Aerial Work (PFAW)?
Yes, Upper Cut Productions has been awarded the CAA's CAOSC permission for aerial work – an exclusive higher-level authorisation that permits flying in congested areas such as London, with heavy payloads.
How far away can your drones fly?
Legally we are allowed to fly our drones up to 500m away within line of sight. Flying over water will reduce the range as it absorbs the transmitter signal.
As we have OSC permissions we can fly up to 600ft (180 metres). Without OSC typically drones are only permitted to fly up to 400ft (122 metres).
The octocopter can fly up to 50mph in favourable weather conditions.
Can we see a live image from the aerial camera?
Yes, we have a live video downlink to pilot and camera operator base stations as well as a dedicated SmallHD client monitor. HD downlink is available.
Yes, up to £5 million as well as equipment and employer's liability.
How many people does it take to fly an Octocopter?
The Octocopter requires 1 pilot and 1 camera operator.
Can weather be a problem?
Unfortunately we cannot fly in rain and wind above 25mph can be challenging. We check the forecast from a range of sources on a regular basis and keep our clients updated.
With the CAOSC permissions Upper Cut Productions can fly within congested areas with a 30 metre radius of the general public, vessel, vehicle or structure which is not under the control of the person in charge of the aircraft.


Ukraine's former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is suspected of 'ordering the murder' of a member of parliament, the Posecutor General said. If found guilty, she will face a life sentence behind bars.
Ukraine's State Prosecutor has completed its investigation of the murder of Deputy Evgeny Sherban, who was shot dead in 1996. Tymoshenko is alleged to have ordered the hit.
"The materials collected during the pre-trial investigation show that Tymoshenko really ordered the murder, along with another former Mrime Minister Pavel Lazarenko. Today the Prosecutor General's investigation team visited Tymoshenko to give her notice," said Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka.
According to the findings of the investigation, the former PMs Tymoshenko and Lazarenko paid Shcherban's killers $2.8 million. Tymoshenko is currently serving a 7-year prison sentence for abuse of power.
"Both Lazarenko and Tymoshenko made money transactions. The first – $500,000 – Lazarenko personally paid to the group of killers. Then $2,3 million was wired and that transaction was organized by Tymoshenko," the Prosecutor General said.
Ukrainian parliamentary Deputy Evgeny Sherban was shot dead in 1996 in Donetsk airport upon his arrival from Moscow. His wife and an airport employee were also killed in the attack. One of the killers was sentenced to life in prison back in 2003.
In April 2012 Shcherban's son, member of a Donetsk local city council, Ruslan Shcherban, sent the prosecutor documentary evidence of Tymoshenko and Lazarenko's possible involvement in his father's murder.
"The order was to kill Shcherban any possible way. What are the motives of this murder? For mercenary ends, business interests," Viktor Pshonka said.
The investigation believes Shcherban's reluctance in 1996 to place his business under the command of structures headed by Lazarenko, who was then prime minister, and Tymoshenko, the head of United Energy, was the main motive for the crime.
"The subject of that argument – gas, prices for gas," Pshonka said. He added that former Prime Minister Lazarenko personally found the head of a criminal group and along with Tymoshenko met with the killers. According to the Prosecutor General, negotiations were held in the Hotel Natsional.
He stressed that there is evidence that shows how both politicians kept in touch with the criminal group.
Both Tymoshenko and Lazarenko deny the accusations.
The ex-prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko was arrested and then jailed in October 2011 for abusing the powers of her office, most notably in the 2009 gas import deal she signed with Russia. Tymoshenko was also ordered to pay $190 million in fines. Ex-Prime Minister also faces charges of tax evasion from when she headed gas trader United Energy Systems in the 1990s, prosecutors said these two cases have been merged.
Tymoshenko is undergoing treatment in a hospital in the city of Kharkiv. She will be officially charged with ordering and financing the murder when the state of Tymoshenko's health makes it possible.
At the same time Pavel Lazarenko, Prime Minister in 1996-1997, has just served a nine-year prison term in the US for extortion and money laundering that ended in November. He remains behind bars until his immigration status is settled, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Lazarenko's immigration court hearing is scheduled to take place in May 2013. Back in August, the Prosecutor General's Office said that Lazarenko was ready to testify in the Shcherban murder case and Ukrainian prosecutors would fly to the US to question him as soon as they obtain permission from American authorities.

Nobel Journeys: Toni Morrison
EF Education First and Nobel Museum | November 18, 2016
The following is an excerpt from Nobel Journeys, a story collection that chronicles the extraordinary lives of Nobel Prize Laureates from the past and present, from all over the world, and from every Nobel Prize category. All 10 stories focus on important moments of discovery in the Laureates' lives that helped them choose their unique pathways to success. And every tale reinforces the notion that education is an essential ingredient to a bright future.
Nobel Journeys is the first of many joint initiatives from the Nobel Prize Museum and EF Education First, two global organizations dedicated to bringing learning to life for students. Download a free copy of the full book and accompanying lesson plan for your classroom, and show your students that great ideas can come from anyone, at any time.
Chloe Anthony Wofford changed her name to Toni at the age of 18, soon after arriving in Washington DC to study literature at Howard University. It had started out as a mis-understanding. She had introduced herself to a classmate as Chloe, but the young woman had misunderstood and began calling her Toni. Chloe hadn't bothered to correct her. "Toni" was easier to pronounce and, anyway, it wasn't entirely out of the blue: Chloe's baptismal middle name was Anthony, after St. Anthony of Padua. Chloe decided to go by Toni from then on. She had just begun a new phase of her life; she may as well have a new name to go along with it.
For Toni, everything about college life in Washington DC was so different. For one thing, she had never felt so self-consciously black.
Color had never been a big deal in Ohio where Chloe had grown up. Lorain was a steel mill town on Lake Erie, one that had attracted blacks from the South – like her own family – but also immigrants from all over the world. Her neighborhood was fully integrated, and her childhood playmates had been of black, Eastern European, and Mexican descent.
Their one common denominator was usually poverty. But Chloe's parents had taught her the importance of focusing on the future, not the past. She needed to take pride in everything she did. For Chloe that was school. She had learned to read at a very early age, and her parents had always found a way to save up for new books. Though Chloe was the only black in her first grade class, she was also the only kid who already knew her letters – so nobody made her feel inferior.
Chloe had graduated with honors from Lorain High School. She had taken Latin, and she had fallen in love with the great works of European literature. Among her favorite authors were Jane Austen, Leo Tolstoy, and Gustave Flaubert. She admired how these writers took on big ideas and themes, while creating utterly believable characters who struggled with everyday life. Chloe couldn't have been more thrilled than when she was accepted to Howard – America's historically black university – to study literature.
So far, though, Howard wasn't what Chloe – now Toni – had expected.
First of all, she was surprised by Washington DC's marked racial segregation. Suddenly there were written rules about where black people could go and what they could do. But even on campus, where Chloe felt "normal," she became aware of how the color of one's skin made a difference. Lighter was better, even among her fellow black students. Plus she found herself frustrated by the attitudes of some of the young women in her dormitory, who seemed far more focused on buying clothes, going to parties, and getting married than on getting a good education. Above all, Toni had been looking forward to reading and studying the works of contemporary black authors. But very few of these were actually taught in her classes. In fact, there were virtually no novels to read with young black women as protagonists.
At first, Toni just accepted this as a fact of living in a racially segregated world. She graduated from Howard in 1953, and continued on to Cornell University in New York. She earned her master's degree in English in 1955, writing her thesis on Virginia Woolf and William Faulkner. But after a brief year of teaching English in Houston, Toni decided to return to Howard, at the age of 26, to teach English there. She was lonely at first – it was hard to make new friends in a new city – until she had two important social encounters. The first was meeting Harold Morrison, an architecture professor from Jamaica. The couple soon married and had a son, also named Harold, in 1961.
The second encounter was when a fellow Howard faculty member invited Toni to a writer's group that regularly met for lunch to read and critique each other's work. For Toni to join, she needed to bring a piece of writing to share. At first, she brought a few essays and stories she'd written in college. Mainly, she was interested in the writer's group for the company and the food – both were really good – but in order to keep attending, she knew she needed to take the writing itself more seriously.
She decided to write about what she knew. What she knew best, of course, was her working-class hometown of Lorain. But when she began to think about it, she realized that her struggle as an adult with issues of discrimination – against her race, the lightness or darkness of her skin, her gender as a woman – had profoundly changed her perception of her own childhood. She could no longer see Lorain as fully integrated. She could not write about a young black girl from there without addressing the issue of discrimination.
And she realized she had a whole lot to say.
To write, Toni would get up before dawn. She would make herself a cup of coffee and watch the sun rise. Then she would sit on the sofa with baby Harold on her lap, waiting for thoughts and memories to flow – jotting them down in pencil on a yellow lined legal pad. "My older son was barely walking," she would later recount, "and he spit up on the tablet. And I was doing something really interesting, I think, with a sentence because I wrote around the puke. I figured I could always wipe that away, but I might not get that sentence again."
What Toni discovered was that storytelling was an important part of her family life. Her childhood had been filled with African American folklore, music, rituals, and myths. Her characters came from that same rich cultural heritage. But they didn't celebrate it. Outside the home, they found themselves doubting the value of black culture whenever they compared it to white society around them. Black was not beautiful. What her black characters had been taught to value was straight blond hair and blue eyes.
Toni's writing group found her Lorain stories very interesting. They encouraged her to keep writing from the black perspective. She did. She kept writing, even when she left Howard University in 1963 to travel around Europe with her family. She kept writing after her return, when she broke up with her husband and moved back to Ohio to have her second child Slade. She kept writing when she eventually moved to Syracuse to work as a textbook editor. And she kept writing even after she relocated to Manhattan to edit other black women novelists such as Toni Cade Bambara and Gayl Jones.
Toni Morrison published her first novel The Bluest Eye in 1970. Though it got good reviews, it didn't sell well. Toni didn't care. It was a story about a young black girl struggling with her blackness, one that other black girls could read and relate to. It was a novel she wanted to read. And that gave her the courage to begin the next one. For over 40 years, she has been contributing to an ever-growing body of contemporary African American literature. In the process, she has inspired many other authors to do the same.

Louisville Kentusky history
How An Insane Asylum May Have Inspired the Iconic Twin Spires of Churchill Downs
Posted on May 6, 2016 Updated on May 2, 2019
In 1794 a man named Isaac Hite, a Virginia Militia Officer, came to the Kentucky frontier with other surveyors to stake claim on scenic tracts of land given to them for fighting in the French and Indian War. They founded the properties as promised, but also encountered more Indians. And so in his newly adopted home now known as Anchorage, just outside of Louisville, Hite was killed by the hostile natives.
Or was he?
The introduction of a book containing Hite's personal journal disputes claims he was struck down, but rather died from "natural causes," at the age of 41. His companions, the book asserts, "had died years before, and violently, while taking Kentucky and holding it against the Indians." One theory is that Hite was injured by Indians and later died from his wounds. But how he died isn't as important as what he left behind. A parcel of land where he settled, started a family, and ran a mill and tannery.
Through the years, and for many generations, Hite's descendants tended the land known as Fountain Bleu and an estate they dubbed Cave Springs Plantation. Then in 1869, the family sold the parcel to the State of Kentucky. The reason the state wanted it was explicit: open a new government institution for troubled youths near its largest city.
The rural, secluded site of Hite's Cave Springs was the perfect setting for such a facility. Originally known as the "Home for Delinquents at Lakeland," it was named after the path that led to it's front gate, Lakeland Drive. It was converted – or just transformed – into a mental hospital in 1900 and renamed to reflect the often misunderstood and misdiagnosed residents who inhabited its 192 beds. "The Central Kentucky Lunatic Asylum," as it was now called, became the state's fourth facility for such a purpose.
As with any institution for the mentally disturbed, in the early 20th century, the day-to-day operations were marred by allegations of abuse, malfeasance and deaths. Massive overcrowding was reported in the mid 1900's and in 1943 the state grand jury found the asylum was committing people that were neither insane nor psychotic. One man was reportedly admitted for simply spitting in a courtroom. While the scientific merits of electric shock therapy and lobotomies were morally judged, the reports of fires, murders, and multiple escapes at the facility consistently filled the newspapers. It was a horror show.
Since many died on the grounds, many were buried there too. So stories of ghosts and haunted spirits are attributed to the site. "Have the mournful souls that died at Central State remained at the only home most of them ever knew?" a local ghost hunter asked.
The grounds, however, are also tied to the storied history of the Louisville underground. Literally, a series of caves and tunnels used before prohibition to move shipments – perhaps contraband during the Civil War – from the river docks to downtown buildings. Since a small cave existed before a tunnel was added, Hite was probably the first to discover the hole through the rock on his newly claimed property. Later after the state took over, the cave was reinforced with brick walls and pillars and used as cold storage mostly for perishable items like large cans of sauerkraut. The inside was reportedly lined with so many sauerkraut cans it was given a name by the locals: Sauerkraut Cave.
In the back of the cave a tunnel was built which has its own back door, so there was a natural entryway and a man made exit. Many morose stories about the lunatic asylum involve Sauerkraut Cave, including tales of residents who may have used it as an escape route or more graphic reports of pregnant patients who went there to give birth and abandon their babies. Those who visit the site today say without lights the cave would have been too dark and too flooded to navigate. Still, desperate patients may have drowned or froze to death trying.
Regardless of how many people perished on site or off, the general scientific worth of the experiments, and the ghastly stories that followed, the building itself was considered a architectural wonder at the time it was built.
Looking like a medieval castle in the front, the three story structure with wing additions on each side was made of solid red brick with stone trim. The small pane windows in the main building had segmental arches with brick molding and the facade was highlighted by a columned porch and railing. On the side of the main building is two identical towers, shooting high into the air and inspired by the Tudor revival style used in its original design. It quickly became one of the Louisville area's most distinctive and important buildings when it opened its doors in 1869. By the time it came down, in the late 20th century, it had represented something else entirely.
But it's legacy may be more lasting than you think.
Enter Joseph Dominic Baldez.
Baldez wasn't even born yet when the asylum building was built, but eventually worked for the firm that created it. D.X Murphy & Bros was an offshoot of another firm established by Harry Whitestone. In the 1850's. Whitestone, an Irish immigrant, designed some of the city's elaborate homes, hotels and hospitals, including the Home for Delinquents on Lakeland Drive. When Whitestone retired in 1881, his top assistant Dennis Xavier (D.X.) Murphy took over the business. Baldez began working for Murphy at the age 20.
In 1894, Baldez, a native of Louisville and a a self-effacing, self-taught draftsman, started work on a project at the area's racetrack known as Churchill Downs, home of the Kentucky Derby, the prestigious race for three-year-old thoroughbreds held every year at the beginning of May.
For 20 years since the track was built, the seating had been on the backstretch, facing west, a mistake, since the late afternoon sun would be directly in spectators eyes. So a new larger structure was planned on the other side, facing east, or directly near the one-eighth pole on the stretch. The D.X. Murphy firm was hired and the young Baldez, at 24, was commissioned to design the new stands. He went to work constructing a 250-foot long slanted seating area of vitrified brick, steel and stone with a back entrance wall lobby which on its own was not only fancy and stylish, but efficient too. It was graciously received: "The new grandstand is simply a thing of beauty," raved the Louisville Commercial. The new grandstand included a "separate ladies section" and "toilet rooms," the paper noted.
The Courier-Journal also chimed in: "With its monogram, keystone and other ornate architecture, it will compare favorably with any of the most pretentious office buildings or business structures on the prominent thoroughfares."
Then there are the candles on the birthday cake, so to speak.
The Twin Spires.
Whether Baldez was asked to include it, or came up with the idea on his own is unclear. His diagrams clearly show what he intended to do: put one large spire on either side of the grandstand for ornamental decoration. Each spire would be 12 feet wide, 55 feet tall, and sit 134 feet apart from center to center. The base shape was octagonal for strength and surrounded by eight rounded windows which were designed to stay open (although later were glassed over to keep birds out). Above the windows was a decorative Feur-de-lis, or a "flower lily" shape, flanked by two roses which were decorative rather than symbolic since the race didn't become the "Run for the Roses" until the late 20th Century.
Although others, like the track president at the time Col. Matt J. Winn, greatly admired the spires, Baldez was indifferent about his work. "They aren't any architectural triumph," he argued. "But are nicely proportioned."
Although no one can be absolutely certain, and little about Baldez is known other than his designs, the building which housed the mental patients on Lakeland Drive on the former property of one of its first residents may have sparked the idea for the Twin Spires at Churchill Downs. The comparisons are justifiable. Both have large steeples, two in fact, and the tops of each are similar in design. Plus, Baldez knew the asylum building well by working at the firm that built it.
Perhaps as some suggest, the name Churchill Downs was also an inspiration for Baldez's "steeples." Churchill, however, was not a religious connotation, but the surname of the original owners John and Henry Churchill who leased the land to their cousin Colonel Meriwether Lewis Clark who subsequently built the track on the property.
Unfortunately, only pictures can tell the story now. The original asylum building was torn down in 1996 to make way for expansion. The Sauerkraut Cave is still there , but only as a curiosity. It's entrance is marred by graffiti and only the brave – or crazy – dare enter it today. Other than the cemetery, the cave is the last vestige of the old grounds.
Baldez never told anyone what drew his interest in adding the adornment to the roof of Churchill Downs, but he gets credit for a lasting legacy, not only to horseracing, but to American culture in general.
Col. Winn knew it. "Joe, when you die, there's one monument that will never be taken down," he reportedly told Baldez.
He was talking about those famous Twin Spires.

Q: Having trouble creating credentials in google console for sign in integration I have developed a simple android app using firebase and has sign in with google facility. Everything was working fine up until I decided to create the new signed APK. While working with the debug key I was able to create the google credentials properly, it created both the android and web client IDs as shown in the screenshot
Credentials screenshot with debug key
where according to the google documentation we need to pass the web client ID while creating the GoogleSignInOptions object. Now when I decided to create the actual signed APK. It generated new SHA1 fingerprint. And when I am trying to create the credentials with this new SHA1 fingerprint, it is only creating android client ID but not the web client ID as shown in this screenshot
Credentials screenshot with release fingerprint
My question, how do I create the new credentials with the new key, as sign in is failing with this android client ID?
Solution:
We can solve this either by creating new google console project or as I did simply by updating the existing project's signature from the console credentials screen as highlighted here

A: As far as I know you cannot have 2 applications with associated with the same package name on the google developer api console.
go to: https://developers.google.com/identity/sign-in/android/start-integrating and scroll down to the "Configure a Project" button.
Create your new application via the wizard. As an alternate you can do this via https://console.developers.google.com/apis/credentials
At this point you will need your app package name and the debug/prod signing key SHA-1. Find the key that you will use to sign your app and via your terminal use:
keytool -exportcert -alias key_alias -keypass key_pass -keystore location/file.jks -storepass store_password -file myKey.crt -rfc

followed by:
keytool -printcert myKey.crt

This will print all your hashes to the terminal including SHA-1 which you can then copy to the wizard we mentioned above.
You are looking for something like: 0C:F5:85:40:F3:1B:42:A2:EB:DC:FD:CA:12:6F:G5:3D:0B:3C:32:21
Make sure you delete the myKey.crt once you no longer use/need it...
Note: In order to get the debug build hashes you don't need to play around with the keytool. Just go and open the gradle tab in your android studio -> tasks -> android -> signingReport and double click it and open the gradle console output and search for your SHA-1
After the wizard has created your new credentials which should have both OAuth client and Web Client you download the credentials.json and put it in your app folder
AppName/app/credentials.json

If you have debug credentials they will not work on release signed builds and vice versa. I had this problem very recently and spent lots of time on it, so if this can help someone I will be more than glad :)

What a Time to Be Alive and Well :: By Edwin Tan
Published on: April 17, 2022 by RR7 Category:General Articles
There is still a segment of believers who simply cannot stomach the fact that they are living in astounding prophetic moments. The great prophets of the Old Testament, as well as the early Church Fathers, longed for these unravelings, which are at an incredible warp speed. They passed on way before the very roots of what is happening ever displayed their green shoots. Those who are alive and have all their vital signs in good order would be arguably that cohort in the pages of history that witnesses living Bible prophecy!
Perhaps some of them came across the Olivet Discourse during their Sunday School years. They probably shrugged off what the Saviour said and probably discounted heavily the prospect of being alive at these times. Maybe they would not live to see this seemingly scary stuff. Ironically speaking, they are alive and in great shape, while wars accompanied by rumours of wars stare point-blank at both retinas. None of them are comatose when they hear of an imminent economic collapse of worldwide proportions and a looming threat of a global famine!
These folks will momentarily look back at the wonder years which they were part of, but more so their dearly departed who avoided present-day nasties — these people have had it seemingly much better! Parents, grandparents, and even great grandparents savored a portion of history that would be sorely missed. Life then was relatively more than decent when compared to current-day deficiencies. So many could only wonder at and ponder the prospect of living to see more deprivations as the scourge of the Great Reset looms large. Enough to make some wish they were born in the days of stagecoaches! Envy those who went home early because of a ravaging brain tumor, if not a fatal car crash at the hands of a drunk at the wheel?
Hang on a second there! You folks are missing something – big time. That is what the author of confusion so ordered; he is making you run the needless gauntlet of so-called shattered dreams and hopes. By what standards? Earthly! Treasures on earth that are poised to be stolen by a cabal of very wicked people. On this very sad note, the genuine hope has been suppressed and denied — this happens when the emphasis is worldly versus the good spiritual!
To make sense of what is really going on and at the same time benefit fully, there is only one thing — connect with God! When one is closely connected with the Lord, the Holy Spirit is there to minister to us, giving us a fascinatingly different lens with respect to the current ominous backdrop.
"But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God" (1 Corinthians 2:10-12).
It would not even cost a dime for the deep things of our Heavenly Father to be revealed to us. This is really awesome material; there is enough muscle to shatter existing mindsets. At this juncture, lingering memories lose their relevance when long-held viewpoints are pummeled by the many truths which emanate from the Spirit of God. We can definitely have a uniquely inspirational glimpse of the immediate future — never missing out on the numerous silver linings amidst the darkening.
There is absolutely no need to wallow in hopelessness which everything associated with the fallen planet is only available. The father of lies only tells everybody that there is doom and gloom, which makes living pointless. But the Way, the Truth and the Life says so very differently — there are great and mighty things which are possible. This being the case even in gravity-defying fashion in these times.
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it" (John 14:12-14).
Wise up, brothers and sisters in the Lord; do not fall for the snare the enemy has set. Be aware of one thing; these things tell us that the moment of redemption is really close — so look up as eternity draweth nigh (Luke 21:28). It is not like what you experienced so far — everything having a shelf life, if not expiration date. The joy which no words can express and describe is forever! Do not look back but gaze forward.

These are BY FAR the BEST oatmeal raisin cookies on the planet! They are soft, moist, chewy and incredibly delicious! And the bet part is they are healthy! There's only 2 Tbsp. of butter in the entire recipe! I know, right?!
Seriously. These things are the best. They keep for days, assuming they last that long. My kids loved them. Hubs loved them. I loved them. But keep in mind they are only "healthy" if you avoid eating half a dozen in one sitting, which -- believe me -- isn't as easy as it sounds.
Adapted from Nick Malgieri's book, Perfect Light Desserts: Fabulous Cakes, Cookies, Pies, and More Made with Real Butter, Sugar, Flour, and Eggs (HarperCollins).
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until smooth. Mix in the brown sugar, then the egg, applesauce, and vanilla.
Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they "look dull on the surface but are moist and soft," according to Nick. Rotate baking sheets during baking for even heating.

Here is a very interesting study published by Blair Hull and his team. By way of background, Blair is one of the legends in the trading industry having sold his options trading firm to Goldman Sachs for over $500 million. He now runs an asset management firm with ETFs. More information about his ETFs can be found here.
One of the strategies listed in this study includes the end of the month phenomena that we, and others, have written about for years. We originally wrote about it in the early 2000s on the TradingMarkets.com website and then updated it a few years later in our book "Short Term Strategies That Work" (click here to learn more) . What Blair has done here includes additional market "anomalies" and combines them into a market timing portfolio which according to his test results triples the Sharpe Ratio vs. Buy and Hold from 2003-2017.
I hope you enjoy this new, recently published study by one of the greats in the industry.

When I try to go to "proceed to check out" at this page... Shopping Cart - All Hands Fire Equipment it won't let me. It stays blank. Security setting?? Thanks.
I had to have cookies enabled and tracking protections turned off in IE9 for the site to work properly.
Im using windows 7. And i dunno why i cant LOg on to my FACebook. Ive ask some of my friends if theyre facebook is working but they said its ok. Ive tried using other browser like opera, firefox, google chrome, and I.E. But i still have the problem. I also tried using other Facebook account. I can see the facebook welcome page then after i log in, it alwyas says, Problem loading page. I can browse other sites, chat, download, etc. Just facebook. hope you can help me.
Just got this new Gateway computer after my old Hp crapped out. It has windows 7 and had no problems going to any site on the net, had three days. Last night Microsoft initiated 64 updates and now I cant get on the site for my wife's work where we check her schedules ( mydish.redlobster.com ) the sign in screen comes up and I enter screen name and password and then it just hangs. No problem before the updates, so I did a system restore back to original where I had no problem but still cant get on the site and it appears this is the only one with the problem. Any help would be appreciated.
"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". What do I need to change or add so that I can again access them?
Do another scan with HiJackThis & post it immediately.
Q: What Can U Do About Problems From Specific Site?
I get pop-ups from Norton whenever it blocks a problem "attack" issue. When I do the visual trace on where they come from, they almost all point back to the same company, though with slightly different IP addresses. I've notified the company via email to their "abuse" reporting box, but nothing seems to happen to stop the attempts.
What should I do next? I'm diligent about keeping my protection up-to-date (thanks to the info I've gotten here), so it's not that I'm worried, I'm mostly PO'd. On the other hand, I'm not all that computer savvy, and don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill. How do I tell the difference, and at what point should I react? Advice or personal opinions?
A:What Can U Do About Problems From Specific Site?
There are legitimate reasons why some organisations may 'scan' for the presence of your computer on the internet and this would trigger a pop-up from the Norton firewall to tell you how clever it's been in blocking this "attack". It should explain this somewhere in the Norton help.
Now that you know your firewall is doing it's job, turn off the reporting function and let it just log the event in a log file. Then, if you want to, you can view the events at your leisure.
This is probably an easy fix but I cant figure out how to connect to other sites. Example: I can't connect to www.Pokerstars.com or www.ultimatebet.net I also belong to another site that has their own messenger system & when I try to connect I get a box that says "connection problems" "reconnecting" but it never connects. What do I need to change in order to make these connections work?
1. start-> in the "start search" field type cmd and then up above that right click on CMD and select "run as administrator". If UAC is on click on "continue".
I hope this helps...ooooh also try those site using internet explorer (no addons) I think it is in the accessories folder and then system. If it works with that then u need to disable some addons in the normal internet explorer!
when trying to reply to a post.
There are hidden sections on this forum. Which you need to have access to them to be able to view them, that could be one reason. Another could be it is a deleted thread.
You seem to have cleaned out most of the bad stuff already. But I did notice a few things.
...these two lines look suspicious, but I wasn't able to confirm that they are bad. Either way you can safely remove these two lines and if it's something that you need the website will install the active-x objects again automatically when you visit the site.
Next I noticed that you still have an older version of Mcafee running along with Norton. I would uninstall Mcafee if your Norton is brand new. However that being said, you should know that Norton doesn't do a very good job of catching trojan viruses. If you want to keep Norton I would recommend installing another program to compliment it. Take a look at A2.
If your computer is still sluggish you have a lot of unnecessary programs running at startup that you could eliminate, but that would all be optional fixes. If you want help identifying those programs just let us know.
Whilst setting up the forum i find the browser seems to time out approx 20% of the time.
This happens when i click link to link on the site.
I have contact the host (50webs) and they say they have checked their end and all is well.
I have checked my isp (BT) and they say all is well.
How can i find out why when i click a link it seems to freeze and then time out.
When i hit refrest it comes back.
Do you have these problems with both IE7 & Firefox?
Try clearing Firefox's history, temporary internet files & cache.
Q: Web site viewing problems.
For the past few months Ive had a problem viewing some websites, websites that I had no trouble viewing b4, Sometimes I cant view any part of these websites, and sometimes only part of it.
What I get in the parts I cant view is a shape (rectangle) with other shapes inside it. Thats the only way I can describe it.
For these sites, can you view them using another computer? Are these sites relating to antivirus programs and antispyware programs? I suggest downloading HijackThis (see below). Create a folder at C:\HTJ and move HijackThis.exe there. Run a scan and save the log. Copy the whole log file and post it here. Do not fix anything yet. Most of them are harmless.
I have buffering problems on RT news site Ive asked them about it and why some links dont work (only rarely)but they replied that the links work for them? Ive made sure I have updated Java and Adobe flashplayer. I have an optical fiber cable on 25MB download and 5MB upload, it works flawlessly on every other site but this one.Ive run sfc/scannow command and that was OK but now Im out of ideas? Would it be my software or theirs that would cause this?
Have you check with your ISP is there any block &or something else.
Maybe you could state the website here so that to see if there is problem or not.
This did happen before with my ISP.
One wrote that unable to connect to a website.
I go thru the ISP, it is unable to reach, error.
I use VPN (with related to ISP) and there is no problem.
But after sometimes, few days or so, the problem had go away.
Sometime it work, sometime it do not work.
Web site content does not fully load. White blocks where text should be.
Text is not formatted (bulleted or boxed text has no formatting).
Any ideas on how to solve these oddities?
is this only with firefox or with all browsers? if you have not done so, try another browser to see if the problem is browser specific.
Also which version of firefox and do you have all the latest updates?
Some thing to consider, some pages are not written for firefox so it would have problems similar to what you are having. Post a link to one of the pages you are having problems with.
hi there, i would like some help in setting up an Ftp site that would be accessible remotely.
I do have a public IP address, a Linksys WR and win 2003 server. On the LAN the ftp is okay, i can upload and download docs using private IPs, however connecting remotely over the internet it becomes a problem. I would appreciate any help on how to configure a Public IP on window 2003 and making it accessible remotely as an ftp site.
I am working on a Dell with XP Pro. The user wants to visit adult web sites but when he tries to go to one he gets the "Page not available" message. Any suggestions on how to change some settings to allow the PC to accept adult sites. All help appreciated.
security is the key here. points of note: be sure the AV and windows is fully updated. use a recommended antivirus program. avast free, or a paid, kaspersky to run scans. there are more but ...these are examples.
use a cleaner, such as, ccleaner free (well recommended) and use it to empty browser cache, etc. disable the camera and remove any private details within your account that may be seen publically.
these are a few changes to harden your securities and to protect against malware.
Try signing in on another computer with Firefox and see what happens. If it occurs again, then it's unlikely you can do anything besides use a different browser for that one site and inform mafialife.com that their website is incompatible with W3C standards.
Its probably a problem that can be fixed easy. But I am a noob, I need a little help.
I have tried to load a controler profile for the game but i failed and i have given up.
Now when i play the game the character is stuck in the up position aiming up and i am unable to move at all. Is there action I can take? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I did a clean install of a new OS. Home premium 32-bit and still this problem happens. This game is on a list of games that do not work wth vista? Will I have problems playing a older game if i install it on vista?
I started having trouble after clicking an adobe update on a fake video that had comments supposedly from friends including their contact info.
You are still infected. We cannot help you with malware removal here because of Forum Rules. Please click on the Virus/Trojan Help link in my signature and post there for more help.
So I was starting a program designed to market to the internet and onof the upsells is for a program by Desktoplightning.com It is an email blaster but when I tried to download it itgot flagged by 3/66 virus sites which is sometimes misleading. So when I checked the Qterra and Scurri links for the site , Quterra came up with 14 files as being suspicious. Since I am clueless as to how to read the files and see if they are actually harmful I wantede to see if anyone had any experience with this?
"PING: transmit failed, error code 1314"
This computer resides on a corporate network, so I have no control over the McAffee Desktop Firewall, but I doubt that they have added a policy which prohibits connecting to this one particular website/ftp site. Any thoughts?
Hi, first time user and non tech-expert, so please be gentle!
Recently had 2 updates for the o/s - using Vista Ultimate. Since the update, I can't access a particular gaming website I frequent - all others are fine. I've tried different browsers - IE, Firefox and Chrome (my default for this site) - to no avail.
I've looked at Firewall settings etc, not getting any joy. Any ideas?
Uninstall the updates. Reinstall one at a time, and try it for a while. The problem may not happen again. If it does we know which update was that caused the problem. It may not even be an important one. You do not have to reinstall it.

Q: Site that identifies problems with Win updates - patches?
Looking for a site that shows problems with windows patches or updates...so I know what not to install.
Plenty of sites list and summarize individual patches, I want one that consolidates problems and complaints so I can better assess the risk. Currently I'm waiting to install patches several days and doing google searches. That works, but I'd rather find a place that does it with expertise.
Which forums would be best to look for such problems.
A:Site that identifies problems with Win updates - patches?
Only Microsoft knows better unfortunately.
Ok so My wife needs to get on her schools website for online classes. www.spokanefalls.edu. when I try it on any browser on our desktop it can't find the site. But the laptop has no problems. I can access the site if I use a proxy site on the desktop, but not all of the site because of the proxy sites signup crap. It used to connect fine but now it won't. I tried running tracert and it said it was unreachable. Any help or ways to find out why this is happening?
What security software do you have installed (anti-virus, firewall, malware)?
All I can tell you is that it IS a computer problem. Nothing to do with the internet company.
Maybe reinstall the network adapter in device manager. Turning off firewalss and antivirus is a good idea too.
Q: Problems with Hard Disk Sentinel Web Site ?
I have been trying to access Hard Disk Sentinel web site for quite a while now and always get the message "This page can't be displayed".
I have no trouble accessing any other web sites, have run internet trouble shooter and have not found any problems with my internet access.
Have any other members tried to connect to Hard Disk Sentinel web site.
A:Problems with Hard Disk Sentinel Web Site ?
I got in OK, have you tried lately?
I have just changed my OS from XP to Vista and i cannot get Yahoo Site Builder working. Does anyone know of compatibilty issues or have any idea how to fix this ? Most of the files do not work, you cannot preview pages etc and it just crashes a lot of the time.
Looking at the system requirements for Yahoo Site Builder, it only lists XP not Vista and does not say anything about 32 bit vs 64 bit.
You can try to run the program with compatibility mode set to Windows XP (SP2) and try it with Run this program as an administrator checked and unchecked. You can see how to do it in this tutorial. Hopefully, it will allow it to work properly.
which is in my bookmarks and I NEVER had problems with the site in the past, but EVERY clickable link on the website redirects me to spammy websites! do I have some kind of virus doing this???
Did you try different browser?
I recently installed Fire Fox 3. Since I did this the McAfee Site advisor check marks that use to be adjacent to Google search results are no longer there. I have site advisor 26.6 . The icon for site advisor is in a tool bar at bottom right. Under settings the ?Enable safe browsing button? and ?Display safe search icons? items are sill checked.
I assume that there is some sort of comparability issue with either McAfee or Fire Fox 3. Does anyone know if a fix or update will be coming out to address this issue?
This happens every now an then for me, it usually comes back on it's own eventually. Not really sure what the cause behind it is though.
It says connection failed, its been 3 days and i can't work out what is wrong.
I have emptied my my temp files and cookies, i have re-installed adobe flash player.
i have even turned my firewall off to see if thats the problem.
I am completely baffled at to what the problem can be, as its only since the site had problems last week.
I even had a new modem to see if that would help.
Q: Possible phishing problem. Having certificate problems when browsing on a particular site.
A:Possible phishing problem. Having certificate problems when browsing on a particular site.
Late last night, i dont know why, but i checked to see if there were any updates on my Comodo Firewall. and sure enough there was. so i updated it and it updated itself super quick (like it was downloaded and ready to install a single 1KB file or something cause it was quick) and it asked me to restart. so I restarted. I felt that the update was so quick that i went back and clicked update again. and there was yet another update. this time it took a little longer. and i restarted it again.
it was late so i set a virus scan and went to bed.
when i got up this morning, i saw that i had no viruses (as expected) and went to check my posts. i decided to click on http://www.realtimegaming.com/ and i am now able to access it. I went on cashier.lockpoker.eu and clicked on the deposit link and im able to access it now. i went to my poker program logged on and clicked on the deposit link and im able to access it now.
Does this mean i was being phished by my firewall all this time? should i be worried? ive been online banking for quite sometime?
I recently bought a new pc and downloaded internet explorer 8, since then, I have been unable to connect to the Neopets game site. I contacted their technical team, if you want to call them that, and have done evrything that they told me to do, still nothing...I added Neopets to my allowed/trusted websites within my pc and my security...nothing. Also, turned off ie8's security features...nothing. And, downloaded readers/flash players as some suggested, and once again, nothing...What am I missing? I'm not very pc savy and have been having a difficult time with this issue. Would appreciate any and all ideas. Thanks for your time and concern! Please help!
I too am having difficulty. This started with me yesterday on one of my quilting forums. My DD in Denver can access them so it isn't that the site isn't up and running.
Q: Anyne experiencing problems with samsung driver site?
I've just stuck 64bit windows on my samsung NP-R700 and its proving to be a pain in the backside! Samsung are still a blast from the past and not making 64bit drivers according to their IT support on the phone.
Anyways, I've got all but one of the drivers/utilities. It's the one that lets you use your function keys. Installing the right touchpad drivers and sound drivers made some of the function keys to work, but according to their tech support I need the display manager program. For some reason I can't seem to get back to the samsung site to try and download it and its driving me crazy!
A:Anyne experiencing problems with samsung driver site?
I have just had a look at the Samsung UK site and when I go to support > downloads and put in your model number it just comes back with a Page no Found error.
You could always try www.driverguide.com I have found them pretty useful in the past. You need to create a login (its free) and you can go from there.

Hello, let's get a look and see if we can find something.Please download MiniToolBox, save it to your desktop and run it. Checkmark the following checkboxes: Flush DNS Report IE Proxy Settings Reset IE Proxy Settings Report FF Proxy Settings Reset FF Proxy Settings List content of Hosts List IP configuration List Winsock Entries List last 10 Event Viewer log List Installed Programs List Users, Partitions and Memory size.Click Go and post the result (Result.txt). A copy of Result.txt will be saved in the same directory the tool is run. Note: When using "Reset FF Proxy Settings" option Firefox should be closed.Next run MBAM (MalwareBytes):Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.Important!! When you save the mbam-setup file, rename it to something random (such as 123abc.exe) before beginning the download.Malwarebytes may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you. Temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes.Make sure you are connected to the Internet and double-click on the renamed file to install the application.When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.Malwarebytes will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button and continue.If you cannot update Malwarebytes or use the Internet to download any files to the infected computer, manually update the database by following the instructions in FAQ Section A: 4. Issues.Under the Scanner tab, make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.Click on the Scan button.When finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".Click OK to close the message box, then click the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.Make sure that everything is checked and then click Remove Selected.When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab.Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows the database version and your operating system.Exit Malwarebytes when done.Note: If Malwarebytes encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally will prevent Malwarebytes from removing all the malware.-- Some types of malware will target Malwarebytes and other security tools to keep them from running properly. If that's the case, go to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes Anti-Malware folder > Tools > click on Malwarebytes Chameleon and follow the onscreen instructions. The Chameleon folder can be accessed by opening the program folder for Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (normally C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware or C:\Program Files (x86)\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware).

Q: Imprimir um vetor novo mudando a ordem dos elementos do vetor original Como faço para mudar a ordem dos elementos de um vetor v1 imprimindo um novo vetor v2 com essas mudanças?
Tem como fazer escrevendo uma função def?
Exemplo:
v1 = [2,51,68,10]
v2 = [10,2,51,68]

A: Todo vetor carrega: Índice e Valor
v1 = [2,51,68,10]
print(v[0]) #2
print(v[1]) #51
print(v[2]) #68
print(v[3]) #10

Como aparentemente você quer mudar a posição sem obedecer alguma lógica (i.e de maior pra menor) vai precisar mudar manualmente o índice na hora de criar o segundo vetor:
v1 = [2,51,68,10]
print(v1) #[2, 51, 68, 10]

v2=[v1[1],v1[0],v1[3],v1[2]] #Trocas feitas manualmente
print(v2) #[51, 2, 10, 68]

Podem haver soluções mais inteligentes, mas não consegui enxergar algum padrão na troca de índices ou dos valores em si.

A: Você pode utilizar o sample do pacote random:
from random import sample
v1 = [2,51,68,10]

def embaralha(x):
    return sample(v1, len(v1))

v2 = embaralha(v1)
print(v2)

Uma das possíveis saídas:
[51, 68, 10, 2]
