The Great Pumpkin of strip collections enters Schulz's most successful decade!
Peanuts surges into the 1970s with Schulz at the peak of his powers and influence: a few jokes about Bob Dylan, Women's Liberation and "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex" (!) aside, these two years are as timeless as Peanuts ever was.
Sally Brown—school phobia, malapropisms, unrequited love for Linus and all—elbows her way to center stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the logical choice for cover girl... and in her honor, the introduction is provided by none other than Broadway, television and film star Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked, Pushing Daisies), who first rose to Tony-winning fame with her scene-stealing performance as Sally in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Two long Summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty, who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly in love with her, much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up at camp as well, as does Peppermint Patty's new permanent sidekick, the one and only Marcie. The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool, college hipster extraordinaire. And in three long sequences he writes a fan letter to his favorite author, Miss Helen Sweetstory, then goes on a journey to meet her, and finally enlists Charlie Brown's help when her latest opus, The Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out, falls afoul of censors. Also, Woodstock attends worm school, falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited Peanuts love story ever!), and is nearly eaten by the neighbors' cat... Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code violation and makes a very ill-advised choice in terms of lawyers... Snoopy turns Linus's blanket into not one but two sportcoats... Lucy hits a home run...and the birth of one Rerun Van Pelt!
Complete Peanuts Series
Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).
In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course, and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post—as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.
He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts—and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate.) The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.
Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day—and the day before his last strip was published—having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand—an unmatched achievement in comics.
Sally gets the cover in this 11th volume of The Complete Peanuts... Schulz is still in top form here in my opinion. There are few books I laugh at more, or enjoy more thoroughly than these fine collections. Highly recommended!
A "must have" for collectors of Charles Schulz's work, highly recommended.
James A. Cox - Midwest Book Review
With elegant simplicity and deftly constructed shorts, the esteemed author captured so much of what life is about.
Nik Mercer - Anthem Magazine
These hardcover editions are produced with such love and reverence that it's fun to just pick them up and page through them, at least for a bibliophile like myself. Not to be missed.
Greg Hatcher - Comic Book Resources
[S]hows Schulz's staggering talent in the prime of his career.
Jonathan Kuehlein - Toronto Star
Reading [The Complete Peanuts 1971-72 and 1973-74] in one fell swoop, I've kind of come to the conclusion that this period is really the apex of Schulz's career. ...he was never as consistently hilarious or as poignant as he was in the early to mid-70s. If you're only buying two volumes of this series, it should be these two."
Chris Mautner - Robot 6
Beautifully designed by comic artist Seth (Palookaville), the volumes already out are a spectacular tribute to Schulz's work....Peanuts remains surprisingly fresh and timeless. Although Charles Schulz wrote these strips over 20 years ago, the ongoing popularity of the made-for-TV holiday specials means that the Peanuts gang continue to remain relevant in popular culture. It would be a pity, however, to relegate Peanuts to special occasions only—Schulz's work should and can be enjoyed all year round."
Ewa Beaujon - ExpressNightOut.com
It's no exaggeration to call Peanuts the most successful comic strip in human history."
Michelangelo Matos - Seattle Weekly
[A] towering comic-strip masterpiece...as you turn the pages, you can feel Schulz finding his rhythm. There's a restless intelligence there, pacing behind the panels… An extraordinary publishing project.

Setting a uniform sample rate for all transactions using the tracesSampleRate option in your SDK config to a number between 0 and 1. (For example, to send 20% of transactions, set tracesSampleRate to 0.2.)

Sentry.init({

Brit Sec protects Friday Night Feast Season 6. As one of the warmest, longest summers on record started to give way to autumn, our Close Protection team started to make their way back down to the pier in Southend, ready for filming to begin on the 2018 series of Jamie and Jimmy's Friday Night Feast.
With many celebrities ready to bring their culinary delights to the end of the pier café, the work for our team began long ago – the research, the locations, requirements and those all important little quirks that ensure that we remain the first choice for Jamie Oliver Productions, were all planned, discussed and agreed before filming began.
We can now talk about the guests we had the pleasure of protecting in addition to Jamie Oliver and Jimmy Doherty. They included Danny DeVito, Jodie Whittaker, Sir Patrick Stewart, Martin Freeman, Stephen Fry, Stephen Mangan and Davina McCall, all a pleasure to work with and all friendly and funny as ever. The days flew by in a blur, at what felt like lightening speed, and all too soon it was over for another year. Brit Sec value the relationship we have built over the years with Jamie, Jimmy and crew, and we certainly cannot wait to get back on the pier in 2019!


It's not news to anyone that feeling bad—frustrated, anxious, sad, or depressed—isn't ideal. If we could choose between feeling happy or irritated, it's safe to assume that most of us would choose the former. But the thing about emotions is that they're never so black and white—and often, they're not in our control, either. It's true for us all, but it's especially true if you're dealing with clinical depression or another mental health condition.
What if instead of trying to change our unwanted emotions, we accepted them? What if we acknowledged both our positive and negative emotions without putting pressure on what those feelings are, or designating them as good or bad? What if, instead of wishing we were happier, or pretending that we're feeling good when we're not, we began to accept all the feels? It's easier said than done, but recent research suggests that embracing every emotion, "good" or "bad," is important for your wellbeing.
In exploring how people accept all their feels, Shine teamed up with The Confetti Project to produce a photo series highlighting successful creatives as they discuss what it means to grapple with every emotion. What's it like to have all the feels while you play in a pile of confetti? Check out the photo series below to find out.

Bergstrom and Severn earn Capitol One Academic All-District First Team Awards
by Brock Borgeson
Earlier this month, two players on the Simpson College football team, junior left tackle Blake Bergstrom and senior defensive tackle Alex Severn, earned 2014 NCAA Division III Capitol One Academic All-District 8 First Team awards.
The District 8 team was comprised of 24 players who were selected amongst all Division III colleges throughout AK, AZ, CA, CO, HI, IA, ID, KS, LA, MT, ND, NE, NM, NV, OK, OR, SD, TX, UT, WA, WY and CANADA. College Sports Information Director of America (CoSIDA) selected the award winners.
This was Severn's second Capitol One Academic All-District 8 First Team award, and he also earned Academic – All IIAC awards in 2012 and 2013.
For his peers and teammates, it's no surprise that Severn received this award again.
"First off, Alex is totally deserving of the award," senior wide receiver and Severn's roommate Nate Connealy said. "He's totally committed to everything he does and gets everything done to the best of his ability."
A senior from Treynor High School in Council Bluffs, IA, Severn boasts a 3.86 GPA, majoring in applied philosophy while minoring in mathematics and political science. For him though, school is far from over as he plans to attend graduate school for public policy.
Severn's studious mindset extends to the football field, making the job easier for the Storm coaching staff.
"He's been a leader but also a coach on the field," head coach Jim Glogowski said. "There have even been times that he's corrected linebackers, and with them playing him on the defensive line, that's impressive. He's been like this his whole career."
Amongst managing responsibilities as a team captain, member of the Simpson's co-National Championship team in College Public Forum Debate, student body president, and at one time, president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, Severn has still found time to contribute on the field.
Heading into last Saturday's game, Severn had 88 tackles. Despite the success, Severn recognizes that it hasn't been easy, but support from friends, family and coaches have carried him through.
"It's been extremely hard to balance all of my responsibilities," Severn said. "I've had a good support group, whether it's been friends, families or coaches. My parents have been a big influence. Here at Simpson I can't say enough about the people and coaches who are willing to help us out, whether it's been with our schedules, classes, football, or just life."
Bergstrom, a junior from Ankeny, IA, has also benefited from the support group as a 2013 IIAC All-Academic Team winner ascending to the level of All-District Academic award winner in 2014.
The 6' 5", 255 lb. junior majoring in physical education and minoring in coaching, has built a 3.71 GPA, all the while earning a starting spot on the offensive line two years in a row, starting every game at left tackle.
Bergstrom's attitude and work ethic have been large contributors to his success on both fronts.
"Blake is just a great kid and is always upbeat," Glogowski said. "He's been consistent on and off the field. He's well liked on the football team, and he's always out there conditioning. He's done a great job reshaping his body for the position, and it's paid off for him."
Playing at left tackle defending the quarterback's blindside, Bergstrom has had to be a student of the playbook, being at a highly accountable position. Responsibilities on or off the field haven't been hard for Bergstrom to field though.
"Being at left tackle, you definitely have to study the playbook, think, and know what you're doing out there," Bergstrom said. "You definitely have to balance time for academics as well as time on the football field. But at this level, you know you come here for the academics and understand that education is first."
Although both Bergstrom and Severn have appreciated the honor of being first team selections, both players will have an opportunity to earn first, second or third team All-American honors nationwide in voting later this month.
So although the play on the field has ended for these two players and the rest of the Storm football squad, work in the community, classroom, weight room, and around campus has not ended. This continued effort in all phases of life is part of the reason Simpson football has continued to generate more than just players, but student athletes.
"They [these awards] are a testament to the atmosphere here at Simpson," Connealy said. "Being a student really comes before being an athlete, and that's just part of the culture here. It's something our coaches value, and the ability for our players to receive these types of distinctions isn't a fluke or one-time thing."

Alleghany County is an American county located on the far western edge of Commonwealth of Virginia. It is bordered by the Allegheny Mountains, from which the county derives its name, and it is the northernmost part of the Roanoke Region. The county seat is Covington.The county was created in 1822 from parts of Botetourt County, Bath County, and Monroe County (now in West Virginia). At the time, the majority of the population lived around Covington, and the primary cash crop then was hemp, which was used for rope production. As of the 2010 census, the population was 16,250, which is an increase of more than twenty-five percent from the 2000 census. The majority of that growth, however, can be attributed to the reincorporation of the formerly independent city of Clifton Forge back into Alleghany County in 2001.

Secondary classes are driven by large amounts of content specific standards and expectations as well as high stakes exams where passing grades are necessary to graduate high school. Teachers and students can find it difficult to navigate the world of high stakes testing while still using inquiry based approaches to teaching and learning. This session will provide participants with strategies for using authentic real world problems in their classes to help students foster critical thinking skills while still mastering content needed for these high stakes tests. An emphasis will be on differentiation and student centered learning. Participants will walk away with resources and digital tools that can help make the transition to a student – centered, problem based learning classroom environment possible.

The Red Bulls head north to take on the Revolution
Unbeaten in five straight, the Red Bulls look to prey on a struggling Revolution team
Share All sharing options for: The Red Bulls head north to take on the Revolution
A frustrating draw against the Philadelphia Union last week felt worse than it was for the New York Red Bulls. The team was clearly not at their best offensively, but there were some positives to take away from the match. The main point was the strength of the defense.
Keeping the Union off the scoresheet was a much bigger victory than the team has been given credit for. Philly's offense had been clicking the two matches before they faced the Red Bulls, and with the Union winning 3-1 over the Chicago Fire just four days later, shutting them out was even more impressive.
The defense for the Red Bulls has been incredible all season. Two players in particular, Tim Parker and Tyler Adams, both have held the line well. The two rightly earned a call up to the national team and will unfortunately not be with the Red Bulls during this match. Michael Murillo and Fidel Escobar will also be out due to national team duty, leaving just a few players to fill the backline.
Connor Lade will start in place of Murillo at right back while Aurelien Collin will see the field for the first time since April. The two are still very strong options for Jesse Marsch and should not cause too many issues due to their experience.
The loss of Derrick Etienne to the Haitian national team could mean more minutes for Carlos Rivas against the Revolution. The Columbian has been primarily with Red Bulls II for the season after a fair amount of minutes to start the year. Bringing him on for Royer seems to be a move Marsch prefers, as he likes Rivas to run in behind the defense on the wings.
The number of missing players will only make the job against New England that much harder. Since the start of the season, though, the Red Bulls have showed they can survive and even thrive with a limited roster. The team will have their hands full with the New England attack, with multiple players being key in their offense.
The Revolution are no strangers to goals. They are tied for the fourth most goals in the Eastern Conference and have added a fantastic player to their roster this season. Ecuadorian forward Cristian Penilla has been lighting it up for New England, spearheading the team's offensive success.
Penilla and forward Teal Bunbury have combined for 12 goals and five assists on the season. Though Penilla is at the club on loan from Pachuca, he has been the team's most important player. Combined with Bunbury having the best start to a season in his career, New England is just as dangerous as any team going forward.
The recent form of New England, especially at home, is good new for the Red Bulls. A loss and a draw in their last two home matches show that the club is not invincible at home. The two results did come against Atlanta and Columbus, though, who are the top two teams in all of MLS. Regardless, the Red Bulls should be confident going in to this matchup.
Starting strong has been a staple of the Red Bulls this season and this match in Gillette Stadium should be no different. The early chances against the Union show that Marsch values early chances, so a high offensive press will continue to be used by the Red Bulls.
New England will unfortunately be without veteran defender Chris Tierney for the remainder of the season, leaving Gabriel Somi to occupy the left back role. This should be an area of concentration for the Red Bulls and the offense. Florian Valot has been solid on the right side this season at exposing teams, so this will again be his time to shine.
The Red Bulls have a very busy schedule in the next few weeks. Four matches in 11 days will really test this team's character and endurance, This could be the start of a strong summer for a team that has already blossomed so brightly. New England has not been much of a problem for the Red Bulls in the past few seasons, so the team should be going into this match with heads held high.


Today we have a very pretty card from Sheree.
Today's card is a rather simple and quick card made using some of the newest Spellbinders and BLING-abilities.
Leftover crystals from partly used elements.
When working with the BLING-abilities I sometimes overlap elements which would mean hiding some of the crystals. Rather than doing this I remove these spare crystals and keep them for using as single crystals on other projects.
Today's project is a cute layout from Teresa.
Welcome to Tutorial Tuesday. Today we have a step by step for enamelled butterflies.
Cut Butter flies from thin chip board.
Dab embossing fluid all over the chip shape.
Sprinkle embossing powder all over shape. Remove excess.
Heat the powder with a heat gun. Use a skewer, to hold in place and move enamel around, if needed.
Sprinkle a little black embossing powder around the edges, and heat with heat gun, use the skewer to swirl the black into the pink embossing powder.
Allow to cool, they are quite hot, so don't burn your fingers.
You can add glitter or micro beads, when the embossing powder is hot. Use the skewer to cover areas, that have missed a bit of powder If you don't like the look of the butterfly simple reheat and add more product, or swipe it off with the skewer. There are no mistakes, they all can be fixed. Use the skewer to make swirls and patterns in the enamel. Make a lot up an one time, so you always have them on hand when doing a project. Have fun and experiment.
"This is a tiny little concertina book. The covers were made with the bobbin die from the new Spellbinders Sewing Elements set of dies, and decorated with various other shapes from the set. Aren't the scissors just adorable?"
Today we have a mini tutorial for making a patchwork themed card.
"The temptation to make a punny sewing theme card was too great, and I gave in. As much as I love the look, paper patchwork is about as close as I'll ever come to quilting!"
Cut lots of little shapes using a die from the Square Swatches set and some bright colourful paper with small patterns.
Adhere them to a scrap of cardstock (it doesn't matter what colour this is, as it will be completely covered). Once glued down, I added some stitches with my sewing machine to give extra texture to my finished card.
Cut a shape using a Labels Six die. I set mine on an angle for extra interest.
"Using plain card is vital to creating a good Stamp Resist technique, emboss with clear embossing powder on white card and then ink or spritz with colour, and you have created your own patterned paper."
Here is a cute idea for a pin cushion. This time the BLING-abilities have been adhered to some felt rather than cardstock.
"This pincushion was a lot simpler to make than I thought! It's simply a little pillow stuffed with hobby fill, and decorated just a little with glued and hand-stitched embellishments. I had fun making some of the embellishments with felt, and BLINGabilities are always fun to work with. This pincushion will hold some of my pins, so that they're not put away in a box and hopefully I'll remember to use them a bit more in my work."
"I can see this new Home Sweet Home set becoming a fast favourite. There are lots of little shapes here, including a couple of cute tags, buttons, wings and hearts, making it very versatile."
Today we have a project for a Kitchen Tea Invitation.
Here are a couple of cards I made using Angle Approach. I've used doublesided cardstock for extra effect aswell as added a little bling.
"I love the lacey look of the Spellbinders Cut, Fold & Tuck dies, they make wonderful focal points for a card."
Today we have another lovely layout from Sheree.
"This card shows yet another way to use Rose Creations to make a professional looking flower, this time I have spritzed and twisted the petals together to give a spiky look."
Today we have a step by step from Teresa. The combination of acrylic paints, distress inks and embossing makes for interesting textures.
Emboss a piece of cardstock (the colour is not too important, as it will be covered up with paint) with the new Sea Beauty M-Bossabilities plate.
Cover the entire piece with a couple of different shades of blue paint.
Once dry, add a couple of shades of green paint. Spray lightly with a dark green colour spray (eg Forest Green Glimmermist), and allow to dry. Sponge some dark green ink over the painted cardstock to bring out the detail of the embossing.
Emboss another piece of cardstock, and cut using a Labels Twenty die. Cut the centre out of the shape with an oval die, thus making a frame. Paint the frame with gold acrylic paint, and when dry, sponge some dark brown ink to bring out the detail of the embossing.
Using the same Labels Twenty die we used to make the frame, cut a shape from the painted piece of background, and attach it to the back of the frame with mounting tape.
At the bottom right of the frame, adhere some tea-stained gauze, the mini corked bottle and the image. Stamp the sentiment onto French Vanilla cardstock, trim, and adhere to the card.
Here is a layout I made using various elements from the new Cut,Fold and Tuck dies.
These new dies are particularly effective when using double sided card stock such as the WorldWin I've used here.
"The Anemone Flower die makes a beautiful Water lily, so for a friend's birthday I made this froggy box as she loves frogs."
The Design Team is loving using the new BLING-abilities, and today we have another card featuring this fun new product.
Today we have a layout featuring Tear Drop Circles BLING-abilities.
Today we have another project using the new BLING-abilities.
Today's project is a card I made using Grand Dahlia. I really love this particular die as I'm finding it very versatile. With a few folds and a simple cut you can overlap the petals to make a simple dimensional flower.
Today we have a masculine themed layout from Sue.
"I love the look on number 2 son's face after he fell in, he was warned, only to end up soaking wet with a drowned MP3 player, which is what he is most upset about, that and his pride!"
Today we have an Off The page project to share with you. This project features one of the new Cut Fold and Tuck dies- Spectacular Spin. To give the project that something special, Sheree has used some BLING-abilities as well.
Today I have a Disney layout to share.
Today we have an A4 sized layout, with the butterfly silhouettes from the Wonderful Wings set embossed directly onto the base card. The Grand Calibur is big enough to take the whole A4 sheet.

Zoom Phishing Scam Aims to Steal Login Credentials
Covid-19 Cybercrime, Cyber Security Scams, Phishing and Ransomware
As individuals and businesses become increasingly reliant on video conferencing to stay connected during the Covid-19 outbreak, fraudsters have used the opportunity to target users with a malicious Zoom phishing scam.
The Zoom phishing scam begins with an email that impersonates a notification from the video conferencing platform. The email informs the recipient that they have recently missed a scheduled meeting. It encourages the user to click the link for more details and access a recording of the meeting.
By informing the user that the meeting has been missed, the Zoom phishing scam aims to provoke a sense of urgency and panic to encourage recipients to click on the malicious link, a key trait of many similar phishing scams.
With more people working from home than ever before, it is likely that targets are more willing to trust such emails, as daily online meetings and video conferencing become part of the new normal for remote workers.
In an effort to provoke further urgency, the message also states that Zoom will only keep the message for 48 hours, after which it will be deleted.
When the link has been clicked, recipients of the phishing scam are directed to a fake Zoom login page which mimics a genuine Zoom sign-in page. However, this page requests the victim to log in using their work email credentials.
The instructions state: "Zoom now allows you to join and host meetings without signinup. Simply continue with your organization email login to proceed."
Although the spoof login page mimics Zoom's branding, the page contains red flags, such as an unusual URL, non-functioning links, and spelling mistakes in the instructions.
If an unsuspecting victim enters their enterprise login details, their credentials will be harvested and can then be sold on the dark web, held for ransom, or used to compromise other accounts which may contain sensitive information.
A report earlier this month found that more than 500,000 stolen Zoom accounts were being bought and sold on the dark web for as little as $0.002 per account. Some accounts, the report claims, are even being shared for free to be used for Zoom-bombing and other malicious activities.
Given the current situation, people regularly receive meeting notifications and invitations from various video conferencing software. In a recent announcement, Zoom founder and CEO Eric S. Yuan stated that the video conferencing platform surpassed 300 million daily Zoom meeting participants, many of them from enterprise users.
As such, the surge in video conferencing has created the perfect circumstances for opportunistic fraudsters to exploit those working from home.
Email security researchers say this particular attack has successfully found its way into more than 50,000 mailboxes.
With 90% of all data breaches caused by phishing, and 3.4 billion fake emails sent every day, users must remain cautious and vigilant. Despite the increasing sophistication of these emails, there are a number of ways to avoid falling for a phishing scam.
How to Avoid Falling For a Phishing Scam
Never click on links or download attachments without confirming the source.
Verify the authenticity of links and pay close attention to URL addresses. Many bad actors will host landing pages on unrelated URLs.
Avoid logging in from the links provided in emails. Instead, log in directly to the requested website.
Always take time to think about a request for your personal information, and whether the request is appropriate.
Pay close attention to the spelling of an email or web page. If there are any inconsistencies, users should be cautious.
Ignore and delete emails with unexpectedly poor grammar and formatting.
Question the validity of any email that asks you to submit personal or financial information.
Use strong passwords to reduce the chance of devices being hacked.
Consider the use of a password manager to maintain the security of multiple accounts.

Seqirus to make entire influenza vaccine production process cell-based
Amy Schofield
Influenza vaccine manufacturer Seqirus is to manufacture its cell-based influenza vaccine (FLUCELVAX® TETRA) using cell-based Candidate Vaccine Viruses (CVVs) for all four strains recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) each season, making the entire production process cell-based.
The company will file data with the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to support this decision as part of the 2019/20 Annual Strain Update requirement.
CVVs are provided each season by the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) and associated laboratories.
The manufacturing seeds produced from these CVVs are used to grow large quantities of virus, in either eggs or cells, enabling the mass production of influenza vaccine matched to the WHO-recommended strains.
According to a recent study, which evaluated the degree of match of egg-based and cell-based CVVs to the circulating seasonal virus strain over the past 12 seasons, cell-based H3N2 CVVs have been more closely matched to the circulating virus than the egg-based H3N2 CVVs.
In the US, Seqirus incorporated a cell-based H3N2 CVV in FLUCELVAX for the 2017/18 season and cell-based CVVs for both B strains in the 2018/19 season. The inclusion of a cell-based CVV for the remaining A strain in the 2019/20 season formulation will complete the transition to an exclusively cell-based product. Demand has increased in the U.S. and Seqirus is preparing to launch the product in Europe in the upcoming season.
Gordon Naylor, President of Seqirus, said: "Egg-based vaccines are the standard of care and continue to play a critical role in the fight against influenza, but it's important to continuously evolve approaches to vaccine development.
"Cell-based influenza vaccines represent a significant advancement in influenza protection."

Cooper's class had a fun little Easter party at the house of one of his classmates, so I actually took the morning off of work so that I could be with him at his party. With him being my last baby in preschool, I wanted to soak up all of the "end of the year" things that I could!
They had these adorable baskets and ears for all of the kids in his class!
This picture absolutely cracks me up. This is Cooper with his best friend from his class - literally the biggest and smallest kid in the whole class - haha. Cooper looks like he eats him for breakfast!
The house that hosted the party was absolutely gorgeous, and they had this fun playhouse outside.
I had a completely different outfit picked out for Cooper, but he insisted on wearing a tie so that he could "be handsome". Bless him.
LL's school had a fun evening of Science activities, and one of the challenges was an "egg drop". The students had to design a casing to put around an egg to be dropped from about two stories up. LL surrounded the egg with bubble wrap, put it in a small Tupperware, surrounded that with bubble wrap, and then put it in this egg!
We came back a few nights later to test it out. Sadly, it did not cushion the egg enough and it broke everywhere!
Both kids love to get their faces painted, so we waited for this booth for quite a while!
LL got a unicorn with a golden horn.
Cooper got a golden lizard.
The next morning, we were up bright and early and ready for church! These kids are so adorable - I can't even stand it.
These boys and their ties! It kills me!
We were having Easter lunch with Oma and Opa this year, so Oma ended up coming to church with us!

Q: Can we write an EOF character ourselves? Most of the languages like C++ when writing into a file, put an EOF character even if we miss to write statements like :
filestream.close
However is there any way, we can put the EOF character according to our requirement, in C++, for an instance.
Or any other method we may use apart from using the functions provided in C++.
If you need to ask more of information then kindly do give a comment.
EDIT:
What if, we want to trick the OS and place an EOF character in a file and write some data after the EOF so that an application like notepad.exe is not able to read after our EOF character.
I have read answers to the question related to this topic and have come to know that nowdays OS generally don't see for an EOF character rather check the length of file to get the correct idea of knowing about the length of the file but, there must be a procedure in OS which would be checking the length of file and then updating the file records.
I am sorry if I am wrong at any point in my estimation but please do help me because it can lead to a lot of new ideas.

A: Actually in C++ there is no physical EOF character written to a file using either the fprintf() or ostream mechanisms.  EOF is an I/O condition to indicate no more data to read.
Some early disk operating systems like CP/M actually did use a physical 0x1A (ASCII SUB character) to indicate EOF because the file system only maintained file size in blocks so you never knew exactly how long a file was in bytes.  With the advent of storing actual length counts in the directory it is no longer typical to store an "EOF" character as part of the 'in-band' file data.

A: There is no EOF character. EOF by definition "is unequal to any valid character code". Often it is -1. It is not written into the file at any point.
There is a historical EOF character value (CTRL+Z) in DOS, but it is obsolete these days.
To answer the follow-up question of Apoorv: The OS never uses the file data to determine file length (files are not 'null terminated' in any way). So you cannot trick the OS. Perhaps old, stupid programs won't read after CTRL+Z character. I wouldn't assume that any Windows application (even Notepad) would do that. My guess is that it would be easier to trick them with a null (\0) character.

A: Under Windows, if you encounter an ASCII 26 (EOF) in stdin, it will stop reading the rest of the data.  I believe writing this character will also terminate output sent to stdout, but I haven't confirmed this.  You can switch the stream to binary mode as in this SO question:
#include <io.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
...
_setmode(0, _O_BINARY)

And not only will you stop 0x0A being converted to 0x0D 0x0A, but you'll also gain the ability to read/write 0x1A as well.  Note you may have to switch both stdin (0) and stdout (1).

A: If by the EOF character you mean something like Control-Z, then modern operating systems don't need such a thing, and the C++ runtime will not write one for you. You can of course write one yourself:
 filestream.put( 26 );     // write Ctrl-Z

but there is no good reason to do so. There is also no need to do:
 filesystem.close();

as the file stream will be closed for you automatically when its destructor is called, but it is (I think) good practice to do so.

A: There is no such thing as the "EOF" character. The fact of closing the stream in itself is the "EOF" condition.
When you press Ctrl+D in a unix shell, that simply closes the standard input stream, which in turn is recognized by the shell as "EOF" and it exits.
So, to "send" an "EOF", just close the stream to which the "EOF" needs to be sent.

A: Nobody has yet mentioned the [f]truncate system calls, which are how you make a file shorter without recreating it from scratch.

The truncate() and ftruncate() functions cause the regular file named by path or referenced by fd to be truncated to a size of precisely length bytes.
If the file previously was larger than this size, the extra data is lost. If the file previously was shorter, it is extended, and the extended part reads as null bytes ('\0').

Understand that this is a distinct operation from writing any sort of data to the file.  The file is a linear array of bytes, laid out on disk somehow, with metadata that says how long it is; truncate changes the metadata.

A: On modern filesystems EOF is not a character, so you don't have to issue it when finishing to write to a file. You just have to close the file or let the OS do it for you when your process terminates.

A: Well, EOF is just a value returned by the function defined in the C stdio.h header file. Its actually returned to all the reading functions by the OS, so its system dependent. When OS reaches the end of file, it sends it to the function, which in its return value than places most commonly (-1), but not always. So, to summarize, EOF is not character, but constant returned by the OS.
EDIT: Well, you need to know more about filesystem, look at this.
Hi, to your second question:
once again, you should look better into filesystems. FAT is a very nice example because you can find many articles about it, and its principles are very similar to NTFS. Anyway, once again, EOF is NOT a character. You cannot place it in file directly. If you could do so, imagine the consequences, even "dumb" image file could not be read by the system.
Why? Because OS works like very complex structure of layers. One of the layers is the filesystem driver. It makes sure that it transfers data from every filesystem known to the driver. It provides a bridge between applications and the actual system of storing files into HDD.
To be exact, FAT filesystem uses the so-called FAT table - it is a table located close to the start of the HDD (or partition) address space, and it contains map of all clusters (little storage cells). OK, so now, when you want to save some file to the HDD, OS (filesystem driver) looks into FAT table, and searches for the value "0x0". This "0x0" value says to the OS that cluster which address is described by the location of that value in FAT table is free to write.
So it writes into it the first part of the file. Then, it looks for another "0x0" value in FAT, and if found, it writes the second part of the file into cluster which it points to. Then, it changes the value of the first FAT table record where the file is located to the physical address of the next in our case second part of the file.
When your file is all stored on HDD, now there comes the final part, it writes desired EOF value, but into FAT table, not into the "data part" of the HDD. So when the file is read next time, it knows this is the end, don´t look any further.
So, now you see, if you would want to manually write EOF value into the place it doesn't belong to, you have to write your own driver which would be able to rewrite the FAT record, but this is practically impossible to do for beginners.

A: I came here while going through the Kernighan & Ritchie C exercises.
Ctrl+D sends the character that matches the EOF constant from stdio.h.
(Edit: this is on Mac OS X; thanks to @markmnl for pointing out that the Windows 10 equivalent is Ctrl+Z)

A: Yes, you can manually add EOF to a file.
1) in Mac terminan, create a new file. touch filename.txt
2) Open the file in VI
vi filename.txt

3) In Insert mode (hit i), type Control+V and then Control+D. Do not let go of the Control key on the Mac.
Alternatively, if I want other ^NewLetters, like ^N^M^O^P, etc, I could do Contorl+V and then Control+NewLetter. So for example, to do ^O, hold down control, and then type V and O, then let go of Control.

Balulive (auch Balule oder Balulve, , benannt nach dem Landbesitzer John Ulive / Ian Uilbh) ist eine aufgegebene Ortschaft auf der schottischen Hebrideninsel Islay. Balulive befand sich im Nordosten der Insel etwa 2,5 Kilometer nordwestlich des Fährhafens Port Askaig und etwa zwölf Kilometer nordöstlich von Bowmore, dem Hauptort der Insel. Die nächstgelegene Ortschaft war das südlich gelegene und heute ebenfalls unbewohnte Mulreesh. Die nächste heute noch bewohnte Ortschaft ist das 1,5 km in südöstlicher Richtung gelegene Keills. Balulive war über eine Straße erreichbar, die von der heutigen A846 nach Norden über Mulreesh und Balulive führte und schließlich in Bunnahabhain an der Ostküste endet. Bei der Volkszählung im Jahre 1841 lebten in Mulreesh noch 67 Personen. Zehn Jahre später war die Einwohnerzahl bereits auf 37 Personen gesunken. Heute befindet sich in Balulive noch ein aufgegebener Bauernhof. Von weiteren Gebäuden sind teils noch die Grundmauern erhalten oder aber keine sichtbaren Spuren mehr vorhanden.

Umgebung
Südwestlich von Balulive Farm wurde 1920 der Kopf einer steinzeitlichen Feuersteinaxt entdeckt. Der Fund wurde dem National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland überlassen. 500 m südlich befinden sich die erdbedeckten Grundmauern einer Kapelle namens Cill Eileagain. Der 5,5 m × 3 m messende Innenraum des Gebäudes war von ein Meter mächtigen Mauern umgeben. Die Kapelle lag inmitten eines Friedhofs, auf welchem Kreuzplatten gefunden wurden, die auf das 9.–11. Jahrhundert datiert werden. Ein kreuzverzierter Stein ähnelt stilistisch Kreuzplatten, wie sie im 10. Jahrhundert auf Iona gefertigt wurden und ist im Museum of Islay Life in Port Charlotte ausgestellt. Weitere Kreuzplatten tragen Daten aus dem 14. und späteren Jahrhunderten.

NSA Still Warrantlessly Wiretapping Americans
Article by Trevor Timm
The New York Times recently published two important op-eds highlighting how the National Security Agency (NSA) has retained expansive powers to warrantlessly wiretap Americans after Congress passed the FISA Amendments Act in 2008.
And unlike in 2005—when the exposure of the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program provoked widespread outrage—Congress is now all but ignoring ample evidence of wrongdoing, as it debates renewing the FISA Amendments Act before it expires at the end of this year.
The first op-ed published by the Times, written by longtime national security reporter Shane Harris, recounts the controversy over the Orwellian-sounding "Total Information Awareness" (TIA) spying program proposed by former national security advisor John Poindexter in the aftermath of 9/11.
The TIA aimed to "scan the world's electronic information — including phone calls, e-mails and financial and travel records" and was widely condemned for allowing wholesale violations of Americans' privacy. Congress, which had been more than willing to weaken privacy protections in the name of national security in other areas, voted to dismantle the program in 2003, acknowledging it went too far.
Yet, as Harris describes, "Total Information Awareness" is alive and well within the NSA. The NSA has adopted nearly all of the TIA's features into its warrantless wiretapping program, except for two: "an application that would 'anonymize' data, so that information could be linked to a person only through a court order; and a set of audit logs, which would keep track of whether innocent Americans' communications were getting caught in a digital net."
In other words, the NSA is currently operating the same program Congress explicitly rejected over privacy concerns, with even fewer privacy protections than the original program called for.
Separately, the New York Times published a compelling eight-minute documentary and op-ed by Oscar nominated filmmaker Laura Poitras, profiling the 32-year NSA veteran William Binney, in which he describes how the NSA took a foreign data analysis system he engineered and turned it inward, using it to collect vast quantities of information on Americans.
The system, Binney says, builds extensive profiles of everyone in the database. Binney recently submitted an affidavit, along with two other NSA whistleblowers, in EFF's long running lawsuit against the NSA over its warrantless wiretapping program.
Of course, there's long been ample evidence the NSA has been unlawfully collecting Americans' communications since the passage of the FISA Amendments Act. As the New York Times reported in 2009, the NSA was still collecting purely domestic communications of Americans' in a "significant and systemic" way.
And just last month, the NSA officially admitted for the first time that the secret FISA court ruled their surveillance had violated the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution "on at least one occasion". As we said at the time, given the expansive power the FISA Amendment Act gives the government, one court order under the FAA could potentially violate millions of Americans' privacy.
Despite this admission, the NSA has so far refused to give even a general estimate of the number of Americans whose communications have been surveilled under the wiretapping program (ironically claiming that providing an estimate would violate the same Americans' privacy). And even worse, Congress has so far refused to add privacy safeguards to the FISA Amendments Act or force the NSA to become more transparent.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration is also trying its hardest to prevent the courts from determining whether it has broken (or is still breaking) the law. In October, the Supreme Court is set to hear the government's claim that the ACLU can't challenge the constitutionality of FISA Amendments Act because the ACLU can't prove that their clients' communications have been monitored (and, at the same time, the government refuses to release any evidence that would prove or disprove their claims).
And in November, the Northern District Court in California will hear—for about the fifth time—the government's incorrect claim that EFF's Jewel v. NSA case must be blocked by the controversial 'state secrets' privilege.
It's important to remember that while the NSA disputes the extent to which they have unconstitutionally spied on Americans, there is no dispute that they retain the capabilities to collect Americans' communications without warrants. As Cato Institute's Julian Sanchez documented the Justice Department's own top intelligence lawyer from 2009-2011, David S. Kris, says as much in a just-published treatise on national security law he co-wrote with J. Douglas Wilson.
You can read the relevant section of the treatise here, but Sanchez aptly sums up the DOJ's interpretation of the FISA Amendments Act: "All the law requires is that they not intentionally record the American's calls and e-mails when they are are known in advance to be to or from another American."
And as Kris and Wilson write in their treatise, this restriction "is imperfect because location is difficult to determine in the modern world of communications, and the restriction applies only when the government 'knows' that the communication is domestic." And as a recent Wired investigation explained, the NSA's tapping gear is installed in locations that will inevitably lead to large portions of domestic communications getting sucked up by the NSA.
Given the alleged loophole that allows the NSA to collect Americans' communications without a warrant, the credible reports that the NSA has even unconstitutionally exceeded that authority, and the fact that the FISA court does not review whether communications of Americans are actually being collected, Congress has a responsibility to act now and not wait for the resolution of lengthy judicial cases.
The FISA Amendment Act needs to be overhauled or voted down; Americans' constitutional rights hang in the balance.

Protesters blare Christine Blasey Ford testimony and dress up as handmaids outside Kavanaugh speech
Jeanine Santucci
WASHINGTON — As guests filed into Union Station to hear a keynote speech by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh Thursday evening, the scene outside included protesters dressed in "Handmaid's Tale" costumes and chanting their support for Dr. Christine Blasey Ford.
The protesters from the group Demand Justice sent the message to attendees that they "still believe" Blasey Ford, according to video and photos taken by journalists present. Blasey Ford accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault last year.
Kavanaugh's appearance would be his first major public speech since taking the bench, as part of conservative law organization the Federalist Society's annual convention. The event was dedicated to the late conservative Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Kavanaugh arrives to speak:Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh to get hero's welcome from conservative Federalist Society
Attendees were met with cries of "I believe Dr. Ford, I believe Anita Hill," as they waited to enter the event. "Kavanaugh's a liar! Kavanaugh's unfit!"
A large screen played Blasey Ford's public testimony describing the alleged assault during Kavanaugh's confirmation proceedings before Congress last year. In her testimony, Blasey Ford said that Kavanaugh attacked her while they were both in high school.
A banner hanging outside read "Kavanaugh lied." And several protesters dressed as handmaids stood solemnly in protest outside Union Station.
"You can claim to respect survivors of sexual assault or you can pay for a celebration of Brett Kavanaugh, but you can't do both. Any organization that doesn't want to be complicit in normalizing Kavanaugh should withdraw its support from The Federalist Society and pledge not to give in the future," Katie O'Connor, Senior Counsel for Demand Justice, said in an emailed statement.
Democrats called on Kavanaugh to be impeached after new allegations surfaced against the justice in September. Kavanaugh has denied all the claims against him.
Facebook also came under scrutiny over its reported sponsorship of the event.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a 2020 candidate, has sparred with the company and its founder in recent times over its policies, including one against fact checking political advertisements.
"Facebook is spending millions lobbying the government as they face antitrust scrutiny. They're going on a charm offensive with Republican lawmakers. Now, they're sponsoring a dinner headlined by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Let's call this what it is: Corruption," Warren tweeted.


Cars are expensive, so, obviously, you want them to last. It helps to know which are the best rated for reliability. Two researchers have studied the long-term quality of more than 700,000 different cars, and they've come up with a list of the best brands for reliability.
These vehicles are all independently inspected and appraised by professional car buyers who are trained to detect mechanical and structural issues, which can be overlooked or unreported by the owners in other industry studies. We also take a close look at whether certain models begin to show severe mechanical issues after the usual period when new cars are under the microscope.
It's interesting that the vehicles are actually inspected and appraised by professionals, because a lot of the "most dependable" stats out there are based merely on surveys from owners. That's not to say that data is isn't useful, but Lang and Lariviere have taken it a step further.
How specific models rank versus the industry average for a given year, which can be found by using the drop boxes here, and also how brands as a whole perform against competing brands which can be found here. We wanted to show whether specific brands and models were living up to their public billing, or simply using clever words at the beginning and shafting their customers in the long run.
Based on their research, here's what they ultimately came up with.
At the link below, you can read more detail about their findings on each brand. You can also check out Lang's Long-Term Quality Index here. It's chock-full of additional stats on various models and brands.


For the past two weeks, my columns have addressed how to turn your New Year's resolutions into reality and how to think about and implement a more businesslike approach to managing your career. I've encouraged you to approach these challenges in the same organized, methodical way that a corporation does—but as Me Inc., of which you are the CEO and major stakeholder.
Now it's time to discuss your career resolutions for 2019. Recall past professional goals and ask how many did you achieve? For most people the answer is just a few. If you want different outcomes for this year's resolutions and goals, then you'll likely need to change some behaviors. Commit to your own best interests. Focus time and effort on your own future.
· Need a Degree to Work in HR?
Steal time and invest it in yourself.
Save money and stop seeking instant gratification.
Here's how these two tactics support your success.
A 2018 Nielsen report revealed that adults in the United States spend more than 11 hours each day consuming content on TVs, smartphones, radios, computers and tablets. This means that every day for more than half our waking hours, we are not engaged in working toward a secure future for ourselves or using time in our own best interests. How about redirecting some of that time toward yourself, your future and a life lived on your terms?
If you took just 30 minutes four nights a week to advance the interests of Me Inc., taking concrete action―just tiny steps forward―on any of your goals, you would see real progress. Why? Thirty minutes four times a week is two hours per week, or more than 100 hours per year—the equivalent of two workweeks invested in your future well-being. You can advance your core professional career, develop an entrepreneurial side gig or pursue some crazy dream just for the joy it gives you.
However you use that time, you'll reap real rewards. Long ago, I did something like this every day for two years, and it resulted in my first book being published―and I've received a royalty check every quarter for more than 30 years. If I can do it, then you can, too. You will never know unless you start committing time to pursuing your dreams and goals.
As we spend all those hours each day looking at screens, we expose ourselves to thousands of advertisements, a constant bombardment that encourages us to instantly gratify wants and needs we didn't even know we had until we saw those ads. If we spend our income on things we probably don't need, we sacrifice our long-term financial security and lose focus on our goals.
Don't let the temptation of shiny, new, status-enhancing purchases distract you from what you do need: an investment in a secure future. Too often the resulting debt traps you into living paycheck to paycheck. It's never too late to replace a bad habit with a good one. Why not take a new approach that puts you back in control of your life?

Bernard Gallacher OBE is the battle-hardened golfer from Bathgate in Scotland.
He was the original young wonder of the PGA European Tour, winning the PGA Championship just two years after turning professional in 1967.
Thirteen more titles followed in between the demands of Bernard's other job as the club professional at Wentworth.
Bernard Gallacher played in every Ryder Cup from 1969-83.
In the late '80's he helped Tony Jacklin before taking over the captaincy in 1991.
Unlucky in his first year, Bernard won the Cup as Captain on his third attempt. His calm and collected leadership was vital to the European team's stunning victory at Oak Hill in New York State.
Following a quarter of a century as Club Professional, Bernard Gallacher left Wentworth at the end of 1996.
In 1997, he spent more time with his family and played more golf. Bernard also commentated on the Ryder Cup for Sky and worked with various blue chip companies, particularly on their corporate entertainment where – following his time at Wentworth – he is regarded as a "golf day specialist".
Bernard turned fifty in 1999 and joined the European Seniors Tour where he was perhaps the biggest "name". Following several consistent years, Bernard finally won in July 2002 at the Mobile Cup held at Stoke Poges. Other titles cannot be far away for the talented Scot.
Away from the golf course, Bernard's 'Ryder Cup speech' is highly regarded as an informative insight into the world's biggest golf event from one of Europe's most successful players/captains.
Bernard also spends time keeping fit, walking the dog, reading biographies and supporting several charities.
Sturdy, stocky and a bulldog of a golfer – that is, always will be, Bernard Gallacher.
