Astros 'Killer B' Craig Biggio Receives 2005 Hutch Award
SEATTLE — Feb. 1, 2006 — The Houston Astros' Craig Biggio, the only baseball player ever to be named an All-Star both as catcher and second baseman, was honored Feb. 1 at Safeco Field as winner of the prestigious Hutch Award. Johnny Bench, the legendary baseball player named "Catcher of the Century," served as keynote speaker.
Rick Hutchinson, son of the late baseball legend Fred Hutchinson, presented the award as 1,000 baseball fans and fellow players gave Biggio a standing ovation. "The Hutch Award is not only about baseball, it's about one brother's love for another," Biggio said, referring to Fred's brother Bill, a prominent Seattle surgeon, who founded the Hutchinson Center after Fred died of cancer at age 45. "I will truly treasure this day; I'm so proud to be the winner of the 2005 Hutch Award," he said.
Biggio is renowned as a Houston Astros "Killer B" along with teammates Jeff Bagwell and Lance Berkman. He was drafted by the Astros in the first round in 1987. He became the Astros' starting catcher and made the All-Star team in 1991. At spring training in 1992 Biggio was persuaded to try second base; that very year he again made the All-Star team.
Biggio, who led the Majors in runs scored in 1995 and 1997 and doubles in 1994, 1998 and 1999, is at the top of the Astros' career list in games played, at-bats, runs scored, hits and doubles. In 2005, he helped Houston clinch the National League Championship and reach the World Series for the first time in team history. He was inducted into the Texas Baseball Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame last year.
Biggio and his wife, Patty, are active in The Sunshine Kids, a support organization for children with cancer and their families.
General Motors Corporation is the presenting sponsor of the Hutch Award Luncheon. Funds raised through the Hutch Award Luncheon go to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center's Gregory Fund for early cancer-detection research.
Past Hutch Award winners include Jamie Moyer, Trevor Hoffman, Mickey Mantle, Sandy Koufax, Carl Yastremski, and Bench. The award was established in 1965 and is given annually to a major-league baseball player who best exemplifies the fighting spirit and competitive desire of baseball great Fred Hutchinson.

2.6 Billion Data Records Compromised in 2017, Gemalto Reports
By: Sean Michael Kerner | April 16, 2018
Data Breaches Continue to Be Financially Motivated...
Gemalto released on April 11 its latest Breach Level Index report, revealing that at least 2.6 billion data records were breached or compromised in 2017. The actual number of compromised records, however, could well be higher as Gemalto reported that in 55.9 percent of the data breaches, an unknown number of records were compromised. In addition, the report found that the percentage of data breaches where encryption was used was only 3.1 percent. Breaches in 2017 occurred across multiple industries, but no industry had more breaches than health care. In this slide show, eWEEK takes a look at some of the key highlights of the 2018 Breach Level Index report.
2.6 Billion Records Breached
For 2017, Gemalto reported that a staggering 2,600,968,280 records were breached.
Few Data Breaches Involve Encrypted Records
While data breaches can impact all types of records, only 3.1 percent of data breaches include encrypted data, according to Gemalto.
Malicious Outsiders Are the Top Attackers
Malicious outsiders accounted for 72 percent of data breaches in 2017. In contrast, malicious insiders represented only 9 percent of data breaches.
Accidental Loss Is a Key Source of Breached Records
In terms of the total number of records lost, accidental loss led to a higher volume of data records being compromised than malicious outsiders.
Identity Theft Is Top Type of Data Breach
The majority (69 percent) of data breach incidents in 2017 involved identity theft.
Health Care Is a Top Target
There were more data breaches in the health care industry than any other industry in 2017, according to Gemalto.
While 2.6 billion records have been confirmed as being compromised in 2017, the final tally could be even larger. According to Gemalto, the percentage of breaches where the number of compromised records was unknown was 55.9 percent.
Data Breaches Continue to Be Financially Motivated as Detection Lags
The 2018 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report finds that most attacks are motivated by financial gain and organizations are slow to detect them.

Not all children who have a seizure are diagnosed with Epilepsy. For the child or vulnerable adult this means that a hospital stay becomes less traumatic.
Being able to physically move themselves out of a situation is also a positive way to re-focus. Topics covered include: definition of statistics, mean, median, mode, range, standard deviation, normal curve. Learning difficulties can lead to low self-esteem, isolation and ultimately behavior problems. It is not a sleeping tablet it is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body to send signals to the neurotransmitters that relay messages to the brain that it is time to sleep. Lack of sleep can cause stress in the body, which can heighten sensitivities to anxieties. Some but not all people with Autism are non- verbal.
And likewise if they have a strong preference to wearing particular clothes they will get upset if those clothes get dirty and they need to wear something else. How can a family best evaluate whether a treatment is working for their child? It provides information about who to contact, who co-ordinates care for the patient, and other similar information that is found in the Communication Passport. He may be socially withdrawn or may be socially active, although in an oblivious, eccentric way. From the time that they open their eyes in the morning to the time they go to bed they worry. It covers practical topics including teaching, assessment, measuring objectives, and measuring progress. We still don't know exactly what causes autism; we haven't yet been able to identify specific subtypes of autism; and we still have very few proven treatments for autism.
First Accounts of Autism: Defining Characteristics It is likely that autism has existed through the ages, but the first ever clinical account of the disorder was published by Dr. When children are identified for special education, various related services are available to them to help meet their needs. But what does autism look like? Diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders 5th ed. The level and type of sensory stimulus for one person may be painful and uncomfortable for another person. They should not be punished for being unable to cope. Remember that inappropriate behaviour is the result of a person being in a situation that is difficult to understand, they feel threatened or are experiencing difficulty in communicating their needs see Sensory Meltdowns. Again the importance here is the realization that everyone has some of these behaviours to an extent, but it becomes a real problem when it affects daily living.
At the same time, those children often find the world at large a challenge, and the behavior of other people may be confusing to them. Each placement is explained along with the associated prevalence rates Title: Step-by-Step to Understanding Inclusion Total Number of Slides: 28 PowerPoint Description: This PowerPoint presentation takes a step-by-step approach to understanding the necessary components on setting up and teaching in an inclusion classroom. Although these will vary according to the severity of a person's autism and their age, there are core issues that affect most people with autism spectrum disorder. Adults with Autism Many of the children diagnosed when autism rates began rising in the 1990s are, or soon will be, adults. Topics covered include: definition of giftedness, prevalence rates of gifted students, the difference between bright children and gifted children, characteristics of gifted children, and effective teaching strategies when educating gifted children in the classroom. Exploring Autism Treatments When a child is diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, families face the next challenge: choosing the right treatments and therapies for their child.
Sometimes when we are under pressure we all experience the inability to relax and put negative thought out of our minds. This is the same for people with Autism. It is not a sleeping tablet it is a hormone that occurs naturally in the body to send signals to the neurotransmitters that relay messages to the brain that it is time to sleep. Ideally you will know something about the person, such what they feel comfortable with or how they prefer people to explain things to them. As you observe a person's behavior, what might make you suspect he or she could have autism? Some of the symptoms are so subtle that parents and teachers may not be able to pick up on the clues. Care providers, educators, researchers, We salute each and every one of you who is committed to finding answers: individuals with autism and their families, researchers and educators, doctors and therapists, advocates and policy makers. As you peruse this website and other sources of information on autism, you will see how much has been discovered about autism spectrum disorder from research in a wide variety of fields, including genetics, neuroscience, and cognitive psychology.
It is important to support the child rather than the label. It covers practical topics, especially regarding communication among various professionals and parents in order to make inclusion work. They also need to know that not every situation is the same so there needs to be a certain amount of adaptability which people with high functioning find difficult. In cases like this they are often prescribed the hormone Melatonin. Autism is a developmental disorder that appears in the first 3 years of life, and affects the brain's normal development of social and communication skills. What will also become evident is how many questions remain unanswered.
Parents and community members want the assurance that their children are receiving instruction from appropriately trained teachers. For some people there may be more than one Learning difficulty to cope with. It is very rare that two people with Autism will have exactly the. They also have difficulty taking on strategies to enable themselves to calm down. The reevaluation process is also described. They will be able to share information about their favourite topic which could be weather, time tables or dinosaurs.

Restrict everyday life and experiences. An experienced team should design the treatment for that particular child's needs. Generally children with Learning Disabilities have difficulties with expressing their feelings, which will cause frustration and in some cases anger. Consider how difficult it is for the child with Dyslexia to decode some of the words in written instructions especially when they see how the other children are helping each other, If the child is above average intelligence, having a learning disability can be doubly difficult. Lack of sleep can cause stress in the body, which can heighten sensitivities to anxieties.

MALAYSIA:::Millions strike in India over 'anti-labour' reforms
Millions of workers across India went on strike Wednesday in protest at planned labour law reforms, the biggest show of strength by trade unions since Prime Minister Narendra Modi took office.
They say labour reforms planned by Modi's government will put jobs at risk, and are demanding it scrap changes that would make it easier to lay off workers and shut down unproductive factories.
All India Trade Union Congress secretary Gurudas Dasgupta said the response had been "magnificent" and estimated over 150 million workers participated in the strike, although this could not be independently confirmed.
The strike -- the biggest in India for more than two years -- included staff at state-run banks and mines as well as some factory, construction and transport workers.
"This strike is a reminder to the government that it must consult the millions of employees (affected) before changing the labour laws," striking bank worker Amit Khanna told AFP in New Delhi.
Most cities remained peaceful, but clashes between police and activists broke out in the eastern state of West Bengal, which has a long history of left-wing union activism.
Leftist activists shout slogans as they burn an effigy of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during …
Television footage showed police baton-charge protesters in the state capital Kolkata and drag away women strikers who had staged a sit-in, while protesters threw stones and smashed vehicles.
Nearly 200 people were arrested across the state, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Banks, shops and other businesses remained closed in the city, stranding commuters and travellers at the main station, while dozens of flag-waving protesters halted suburban trains.
In Delhi, long queues formed at bus stops early Wednesday, while passengers were stuck at airports as many taxis and autorickshaws stayed off the streets.
Industry body ASSOCHAM estimated $3.7 billion in economic losses from the strike, singling out the country's ports where exports were left lying on the docks.
Members of an auto rickshaw taxi drivers union participate in a protest rally in Secunderabad, the t …
"Labour reforms are necessary and the government should intervene to come to an agreeable solution in the interest of the industry and the nation as a whole," Associated Chamber of Commerce and Industry of India general secretary D.S. Rawat said.
- Business-friendly reforms -
Later Wednesday, the government sought to downplay the strike, saying it was "not felt much" in most parts of the country.
However, it stressed its commitment to the welfare of the working classes.
The government has taken "positive steps.... on nine of their twelve demands which will be met as per their aspirations," it said in a brief statement.
A man holds his daughter as they look at a noticeboard with information about a transport strike dis …
Modi has promised a string of business-friendly reforms to attract foreign investment and revive Asia's third-largest economy.
His government wants to simplify India's myriad and sometimes archaic labour laws, which date back to the British Raj.
Businesses argue that conforming to India's 44 national and more than 150 state labour laws is not only costly and time-consuming, but has also deterred foreign investors.
The government's proposals would make it easier for firms with as many as 300 workers to fire employees without needing government permission, up from the existing cap of 100, and make it more difficult to create new unions.
Although trade unions agree reforms are overdue, they oppose the proposals, saying they would leave workers with less job security while the level of legal protection on pay and other conditions would be reduced.
Some of the government's reform bills have come up against opposition in the upper house of parliament where the government does not have a majority.
The unions went ahead with the 24-hour strike after talks with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley broke down.
They are also demanding the government improve social security measures and set a national minimum wage of 15,000 rupees ($250), up from current state set standards that range from 5,000 to 9,000 rupees.
Those demands are being supported by hawkers, domestic workers and daily wage labourers, who also joined Wednesday's strike.
India's economy grew by a slower-than-expected 7.0 percent in the first quarter of the financial year and experts say reforms are needed to create jobs for millions of young people.
Previous strikes have shut down cities and cost the Indian economy millions of dollars in lost production.

A fetus isn't a brick wall
I wrote the following paragraphs approximately one year ago as my reply below various commenters at an online article in The Globe and Mail. The headline of the article was "Cellphone use during pregnancy linked to hyperactivity," and several of the commenters were performing their stale "Pfft, don't-worry-about-it song and dance." I don't often participate in these comment-strings but I was appalled that these folks don't seem to have the decency to care about pregnant and unborn people. Some of the cellphone manuals now include a phrase something like, "Keep away from pregnant and teenage abdomens." Obviously, cellphones should be away from everyone's heads but also how often is a pregnant woman holding her cellphone directly on her abdomen - carrying it or using it to text?
Even if not 100000% proven, for 9 months someone can't justify keeping a cellphone away from a pregnant belly just in case this radiation that DOES penetrate into every person's body (including your body and including a developing fetus) and DOES interact with the cells it encounters can cause problems? Every health authority, every manufacturer of devices and supplier of services that emit this radiation will agreeably tell you that the radiation DOES penetrate into the body and DOES interact with the cells inside your body. The only controversy is around whether or not those interactions are health harm, and no one has tested pregnant women or fetuses.
We're talking about pregnant women and fetuses here; how can anyone be so inhuman as to speak as if they can guarantee that electronically-generated radiation that enters into a fetus' developing cells/body will do no harm?
Hello: it's radiation that penetrates into the body. It's radiation that is intense enough to penetrate several types of walls and fly intact for hundreds even thousands of feet through the air to a tower, and between towers/satellites/whatever to make electronic contact at even the far side of the globe where again the radiation travels intact over hundreds or thousands of feet and causes letters and pictures and sounds on an electronic device there -- I don't care what description and strengths etc. are named in everyday or scientific language, this electronically-generated radiation is capable of significant force, intensity, and action, and there is no reason to say that it would be a mistake to keep a source of this radiation away from a pregnant belly.

Best Ways to Get Tickets to the Palace of Versailles
With an attraction as popular and large as this one, it makes sense that there are a number of different ways to book tickets for the Palace of Versailles. Most options for acquiring tickets allow you to sort them out in advance, but that's only helpful if you're organized and know exactly when you want to visit. Ultimately, it's best to go with whichever option best suits you and your itinerary.
1. Line Up in Person (Not Recommended)
If you decide to not buy tickets for the Palace of Versailles in advance, then your only option is to line up when you arrive there on the day. This is the slowest and riskiest approach to take as you'll have to line up outside the ticket office just to get your tickets and then join a separate line to enter and pass through security. Lines for tickets are notoriously long, generally taking from 30 minutes to two hours, which really is time better spent inside the palace.
Where you need to go to buy tickets in person will depend on what type of ticket you want, as there are different ticket desks for the palace and the Estate of Trianon. Palace and Passport tickets are bought on the left side of the Honour Courtyard, while tickets for the Trianon are bought at the Grand or the Petit Trianon. Guided tours are booked separately on the right side of the Honour Courtyard.
2. Book Online (Recommended)
A much better option for travelers is to book skip-the-line tickets for the Palace of Versailles online in advance of their trip. This allows you to skip the ticket office and head straight to the entrance. It should be said that all visitors do need to go through a line for security, which can often take 30 minutes to an hour on its own, but at least you'll be skipping one line with these tickets.
Tourists can book their tickets online at the official website of the Palace of Versailles. However, it should be noted that these tickets are nonrefundable, meaning you'll be out of pocket if your plans change. Instead, we recommend booking through this link for your Passport tickets, as this option allows you to cancel up to 24 hours in advance and receive a full refund for next to no price difference.
3. Book a Guided Tour
Those looking to get more out of their experience at the palace should consider booking a guided tour of the Palace of Versailles. Visitors who choose this option will spend their time touring the Palace of Versailles as an expert guide takes them through the history and subtleties of the impressive palace.
We recommend booking either this guided tour including the gardens or this guided tour without the gardens. There's also the option to take a guided tour from Paris complete with lunch, saving you the hassle of getting to and from the palace.
4. Purchase a Paris Museum Pass
One other option that may appeal to tourists with grand plans of doing lots of sightseeing is the Paris Museum Pass. Much like other city passes around the world, this pass provides access to a long list of attractions and helps passholders save money on their trip.
The Paris Museum Pass offers access to over 50 museums and monuments around the city of Paris and beyond. These include the Musée D'orsay, the Louvre Museum, the Arc de Triomphe, and, most importantly, the Palace of Versailles. Passes come with a duration of either two, four, or six days.
Museum passes can be purchased here and come with free cancellation with more than 24 hours notice.

Because the Palace of Versailles is such a major attraction, there are better times than others to visit to avoid being surrounded by crowds of fellow tourists. But there are also outdoor areas of the palace to be explored, meaning you also will want pleasant outdoor weather during your time there.
Even though the low season with its fewer visitors runs from November to March, the best times to plan your Palace of Versailles tour for are April to May and October to November. Crowds at these times of year are still relatively low, but you'll benefit from milder weather than if you visit in winter.
For a quieter experience, the best time of day to visit the palace is first thing in the morning or in the late afternoon, although that will be easier in high season when the estate is open later. As for the best day of the week to visit, Wednesday and Thursday are usually the best bet as weekends get busy and most museums are closed on Tuesday, leaving the palace one of the few major attractions open.

How to Get to the Palace of Versailles
To visit the Palace of Versailles from Paris, travelers have a few options. However, determining which route is best for you will depend on where you're coming from, although the main options for arriving via public transportation all involve taking the train. Tickets for the journey need to be for zones 1 to 4.
The quickest and closest option for getting there is to take Line C of the RER to the Versailles Château–Rive Gauche train station and then walk 10 minutes to the palace. You can board the train at central stations like Musée d'Orsay and Saint-Michel Notre-Dame.
Alternatively, there are SNCF trains from Gare Montparnasse to the Versailles Chantiers train station and Gare Saint Lazare to Versailles Rive Droite train station. For either route, it's roughly 20 minutes by foot to the palace.
If you don't want to deal with the hassle of public transportation, you can also book a guided tour to the palace from Paris here.
How Do Palace of Versailles Tickets Work?
Tickets for the Palace of Versailles are designed to give visitors the freedom to choose what parts of the palace they wish to explore. The different types of ticket available are based on combinations of attractions within the palace complex, so visitors will need to decide what they wish to see before they book. Tickets purchased online can be shown either as a printed copy or on your smartphone.
The most common type of ticket is the Passport, a ticket that provides access to everywhere within the palace estate. This includes the incredible Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, as well as the Estate of Trianon, the Gardens, the Park, and any temporary exhibitions. Entry to the palace is based on a scheduling system, and visitors will need to select a time slot for their visit to this part of the palace complex.
For visitors who don't wish to see the entire palace complex due to time, cost, or lack of interest, there are two ticket types to consider. Each includes access to either the palace or the Estate of Trianon, as well as the Gardens, the Park, and any temporary exhibitions.
There are also special tickets available that include one with full access to the palace estate plus an equestrian show and one with full access to the palace estate plus a gourmet meal at La Petite Venise restaurant.

Hotels Near the Palace of Versailles
Travelers may wonder what their options are for places to stay when planning their visit to the Palace of Versailles. Many will choose to stay in Paris, which makes sense given how much there is to see in the city. However, there are also hotels near the Palace of Versailles if you'd prefer to stay closer.
For a lavish experience that will leave you feeling like royals stay at the extravagant Waldorf Astoria Versailles – Trianon Palace. This five-star hotel sits on the northern edge of the palace gardens and provides grand rooms, spa facilities, a swimming pool, and a MICHELIN-starred restaurant.
If you're looking to balance comfort with cost, then it's well worth considering Hotel des Lys for your Versailles visit. Found an easy walk from both the train station and palace, this three-star hotel offers fresh, understated rooms with a hint of elegance.
Versailles isn't the sort of place for budget accommodation or hostels, so budget travelers are better off staying at a Paris hostel like 3 Ducks Boutique Hostel and Bar and catching the train over. There you have the option of clean dorms and private rooms, plus the benefits of a well-established hostel that include helpful staff and a social atmosphere.

Create full-featured Adobe PDF files by printing from within any Windows application on the client side to the shared PDF printer on the server side.
Unlike many similar server-based software, Modern PDF Server intercepts documents extremely fast on their way to the printer, creating a version in Adobe's PDF format instead of spitting out a physical piece of paper.
The software installs as a virtual print driver, which means users need only click the print button in any application to create a PDF file. Users can choose the page size and orientation, resolution, and whether a font should be embedded or not. It allows documents to be encrypted, and user permissions to be set. A specific image can be set as a page background to watermark a document. The conversion speed and quality is incredibly high, and generated PDF file is arguably the smallest in the world. With the caveat that there are similar products widely available that offer much the same functionality, we recommend Modern PDF Server software product to you as a high-quality, high-performance, server-based, one-stop solution for deploying PDF creation ability across your organization!
As an alternative PDF server solution to Adobe based PDF converter software, Modern PDF Server uses its own PDF driver on the server side rather than Adobe Distiller.
Main features include 128-bit RC4 encryption with password and access control; TrueType, OpenType, Type1, CID-Type1, Multiple Masters Type1, OpenType/CFF, pure CFF, CEF Windows FNT/FON, X11 PCF font embedding into PDF files; CIE color space and ICC profile integrated with PDF files; Export PDF to JPEG, BMP, PNG, GIF, TIFF image formats; Restore Microsoft Word document from PDF file; Convert PDF into web pages; Create CMYK PDF; Restrict viewing, printing, editing, or copying of documents to only individuals with the correct master password; Compress PDF to the extreme; Remove hidden sensitive data that would have possibly embedded into PDF; CIE, RGB, sRGB, CMYK Color Space support; Render with ICC profile and specify rendering intent during conversion; text, image, compound with PDF transparency; live URLs; fast Web view; PDF Merge; PDF overlay; PDF stationary; create PDF layers; Append PDF generation result to existing PDF file; add page number to PDF document; Add watermark; Add attachment; define custom paper size; choose orientation, resolution up to 4800 dpi; Scan to PDF; Compliant to the Adobe PDF Specification; full-text searchable; totally vector-based output; Microsoft Windows Terminal Server and Citrix MetaFrame XP / Presentation Server support; Fully compatible with terminal services environment; Serve unlimited concurrent users / clients; Multi-threading rendering; Support Microsoft Point-and-Print Standard; Support Windows 10/8/7/Vista/XP/200 client; Designed for and Certificated for Windows Server 2016, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2003/2000; Installable on Windows Vista and Windows XP with reduced performance when served as print server.
This new release adds support for Windows Server 2016 and Windows 10 64-bit and 32-bit, leverages the latest PDF server client technology for client computing. Easy maintenance and no client license required.
The options for PDF creation are available in the Printing Preferences of the Modern PDF Server printer.
Modern PDF Server installs both 64-bit and 32-bit PDF print driver in the Additional Drivers tab. Therefore, any Windows x86 (32-bit) or Windows x64 (64-bit) client can have immediate access to the Modern PDF Server printer without prompting the client user to install the needed PDF printer driver.
Sure. A Client Install tool is included in this Modern PDF Solutions package. With this tool, you can deploy your PDF printer automatically rather than manually to all your clients from your logon script or environment setup script.
Modern PDF Server makes the creation of PDF files fairly easy. On the client side, just print any document to the Modern PDF printer as you normally print to an InkJet or LaserJet printer, and you will get the PDF document that you need.

Dartmoor: A Wild and Wondrous Region
10:00 - 17:00 | Royal Albert Memorial Museum
Royal Albert Memorial Museum
22 December to 31 March 2018
Free Entry 10am to 5pm Tue to Sun
The largest exhibition of historic Dartmoor landscape art in a generation will look at how 18th and 19th century artists helped shape the way we see Dartmoor today.
Dartmoor: A Wild and Wondrous Region will show how Dartmoor's sites inspired generations of artists using a wide range of media: oil paintings, watercolours, engravings, early photographs and even postcards. Works from RAMM's collections will be supplemented by loans from British museums and galleries as well as private collections, many rarely seen in public.
This exhibition traces the story of Dartmoor, from an 'awful' and 'dreary mountainous tract' that was best avoided, into the epitome of the 'picturesque'. The transformation in the popular view of the moor was largely brought about through the imagination of visiting and local artists. J.M.W.Turner was a tourist and his work inspired others to follow in his footsteps. Thomas Rowlandson parodied the arrival of these tourists. Samuel Palmer celebrated Dartmoor's sublime landscapes and inspired him to some of his finest work. The coming of the railways brought ever greater numbers of tourists to Exeter and Dartmoor, locally based artists such as William and F.J. Widgery catered for this market and made Dartmoor landscape art immensely popular. Through railway posters and postcards the work of artists even contributed directly to the tourist trade.
Dartmoor: A Wild and Wondrous Region is a partnership with Dartmoor National Park, and forms one of the main public outcomes of the HLF Landscape Partnership-funded Moor than meets the eye scheme.

Exeter's world-class museum has stunning new displays and galleries, fabulous exhibitions and modern amenities. The displays reveal Devon and Exeter's rich history and global connections. Exotic animals, birds and insects delight children and the world …

Anti-semitic graffiti found near UNLV
People in the Paradise Palms neighborhood have also been seeing graffiti.
By: Yasmeen Hassan
People living near the Paradise Palms community near Desert Inn Road and Eastern Avenue say every other day they are waking up to hateful messages.
"It makes me mad. You know, you think, what's wrong with people," one of the neighbors, Bill Thomas, told 13 Action News.
It's not just about the graffiti; it's the message that is covering their neighborhood.
"The last month there's a big uptick in graffiti more towards anti-semitic graffiti," Thomas said.
13 Action News found some of that graffiti just one block away from an elementary school.
"Little kids walking by, and saying mommy, what's that? It just sends a message that, I don't know. It makes me mad. It makes me mad anyway," Thomas said.
He's not the only one. The graffiti is also popping up near UNLV, but one of the fraternities on campus is sending a message back.
"This kind of stuff is not tolerated in the United States," said student Munib Hosny.
ΑΕΠ is organizing a "Rally Against Intolerance" as a response to the graffiti and an invitation to anyone who is feeling attacked.
"We as a community and we as a group are not going to stand for this kind of hatred. Our unity is stronger than their mongering," Hosny said.
Police tell me it is best not to cover up the graffiti until officers arrive. Leave everything just as it is. That way they can do their investigation and find the people responsible.

F.i Implementation of Article 23.4
62. The representative of the Secretariat, elaborating on the provisions of the Bangui Agreement that formed the basis for the text of paragraph 33 of document IP/C/W/85, said that Article 2 of the Annex to the Bangui Agreement dealing with appellations of origin (Annex VI) stipulated that foreigners enjoyed the benefits of the provisions of that Annex if they met the conditions stipulated. Article 3(2) of the Annex laid down that foreign appellations of origin could only be registered by the African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI) if this was foreseen by an international convention to which the member States were party or by the law implementing such a convention. Article 11(3) of the Bangui Agreement itself laid down that the international registration of an appellation of origin, effected by virtue of the provisions of the Lisbon Agreement and having effect in at least one member State, would have the same effects in each of the four States party to the Bangui Agreement which were party to the Lisbon Agreement as if the appellation had been registered with OAPI. As regards the question relating to paragraph 31 of document IP/C/W/85, he confirmed that it was also the Secretariat's understanding that the protection specified in the Bangui Agreement of an appellation of origin, filed directly under the Bangui Agreement, i.e. not by virtue of an international convention, once registered with OAPI, was not subject to a mechanism for the refusal of protection comparable to that applicable under the Lisbon Agreement (as described in paragraphs 20 and following of IP/C/W/85). In respect of the questions posed, reference should also be made to Articles 2(2) and 14 of the Bangui Agreement. According to Article 2(2), nationals were entitled to claim the application to their benefit of the provisions of the Paris Convention, the Berne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention wherever these provisions were more favourable than those of the Bangui Agreement. According to Article 14, in case of divergence between the rules contained in the Bangui Agreement or its annexes and the rules contained in the international conventions to which the member States were party and which were administered by the International Bureau of WIPO, the latter prevailed.

Q: Regex Rules for First and Second Character I need help on following regular expression rules of javascript and php.
JS
var charFilter = new RegExp("^[A|B].+[^0123456789]$");

PHP
if (!preg_match('/^[A|B].+[^0123456789]$/', $data_array['sample_textfield'])) {

This regular expression is about
First character must be start with A or B and last character must not include 0 to 9.
I have another validation about, character must be min 3 character and max 6 number.
New rule I want to add is, second character cannot be C, if first letter is A.
Which means
ADA (is valid)
ACA (is not valid)
So I changed the regex code like this
JS
var charFilter = new RegExp("^(A[^C])|(B).+[^0123456789]$");

PHP
if (!preg_match('/^(A[^C])|(B).+[^0123456789]$/', $data_array['sample_textfield'])) {

It is worked for first and second character. If i type
ACA (it says invalid) , But if i type
AD3 (it says valid), it doesn't check the last character anymore. Last character must not contain 0 to 9 number, but it's show as valid.
Can anyone help me to fix that regex code for me ? Thank you so much.

A: Putting all of your requirements together, it seems that you want this pattern:
^(?=.{3,6}$)(?=A(?!C)|B).+\D$

That is:

*

*From the beginning of the string ^

*We can assert that there are between 3 to 6 of "any" characters to end of the string (?=.{3,6}$)

*We can also assert that it starts with A not followed by C, or starts with B (?=A(?!C)|B)

*And the whole thing doesn't end with a digit .+\D$
This will match (as seen on rubular.com):
= match =         = no match =
ADA               ACA
ABCD              AD3
ABCDE             ABCDEFG
ABCDEF
A123X
A   X

Note that spaces are allowed by .+ and \D. If you insist on no spaces, you can use e.g. (?=\S{3,6}$) in the first part of the pattern.
(?=…) is positive lookahead; it asserts that a given pattern can be matched. (?!…) is negative lookahead; it asserts that a given pattern can NOT be matched.

*How does the regular expression (?<=#)[^#]+(?=#) work?

On alternation precedence
The problem with the original pattern is in misunderstanding the precedence of the alternation | specifier.
Consider the following pattern:
this|that-thing

This pattern consists of two alternates, one that matches "this", and another that matches "that-thing". Contrast this with the following pattern:
(this|that)-thing

Now this pattern matches "this-thing" or "that-thing", thanks to the grouping (…). Coincidentally it also creates a capturing group (which will capture either "this" or "that"). If you don't need the capturing feature, but you need the grouping aspect, use a non-capturing group ``(?:…)`.
Another example of where grouping is desired is with repetition: ha{3} matches "haaa", but (ha){3} matches "hahaha".

*regular-expressions.info/Brackets for Grouping

A: Your OR is against the wrong grouping. Try:
^((A[^C])|(B)).+[^0123456789]$

A: i think it should be like
/^(A[^C]|B.).*[^0-9]$/

try this test code
$test = "
    A
    B
    AB
    AC
    AAA
    ABA
    ACA
    AA9
    add more
";

foreach(preg_split('~\s+~', $test) as $p)
    printf("%5s : %s\n<br>", $p, preg_match($pat, $p) ? "ok" : "not ok");

A: In jasonbars solution the reason it doesn't match ABC is because it requires A followed by not C, which is two characters, followed by one or more of any character followed by a non number. Thus if the string begins with an A the minimum length is 4. You can solve this by using a look ahead assertion.

'Joker' #1 in The Box Office Raises Controversy
Xochitl Marin
Todd Phillip's latest film, Joker, debuted October 4th, giving a new face to the insane, iconic DC Universe villain the Joker.
Starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker's newest persona, the film made approximately $96 million nationwide and $152.2 million worldwide during its opening weekend according to Box Office Mojo. Almost 2 weeks after it's been in theaters, Joker still remains #1 in the box office, despite several other movie premiers, with an outstanding $55 million dollars according to The New York Times. The movie serves as the origin story to the character Arthur Fleck's alter ego, The Joker. Arthur Fleck is a struggling standup comedian who deals with mental issues, is isolated and seemingly ignored by Gotham City's society of crime and hardship. The only strong connection he is shown to have is with his equally mentally-struggled mother. Throughout the film, before the birth of his alter ego, Fleck's many struggles to find the connection and acceptance he seeks lead up to his breaking point which preludes to the birth of the infamous fictional villain known today.
Although Joker's debut was outstanding, it did spark controversy and concerns. According to The New York Times, many critics voiced their worries that the film would paint a sympathetic picture on societal issues today, specifically mass shooters.
During the film, before Phoenix's character fully converts into the Joker, he did a phenomenal job portraying the pain Arthur Fleck goes through and essentially feels due to being hurt, picked on and disregarded by multiple characters in the film. There were moments during the scenes in which I felt a lump forming in my throat and tears beginning to build up. In those moments, I would sympathize with the character because of the way society would, in my opinion, treat him poorly for no apparent reason. It would force me to think of the world we live in today where we see others hurting one another. Whether it's through verbal, mental, emotional or physical abuse. Abuse that can be seen happening to Arthur throughout the film.
"He is that good at humanizing characters who are hard to love. But I also just recoiled from this character and I was completely repelled by it too," said Justin Chang on the Los Angeles Times podcast "The Reel", when talking about Joker. Chang's words couldn't possibly better phrase my feelings toward Joaquin Phoenix's character. Regardless of the fact that I felt sympathy towards Arthur Fleck due to the mistreatment he faces, that sympathy suddenly disappeared as if it were never there once he slowly transforms into the demented murderer that the film is named after.

In Theaters: October 4, 2019
Studio: Warner Bros.
After watching the movie, Joker doesn't serve as a tool that creates a sympathized image of mass shooters, rather I feel like it can serve as a learning tool to show aspects in the society we live in and push us to help people who are going through similar struggles like the film's main character. Joaquin Phoenix's performance helps those who found the struggles relatable to better themselves and us as a society that should be more empathetic and humane to one another.
Rated R, Joker targets a mature audience of lovers of comics, crime, and drama alike. I can confidently say that the movie is worth 122 minutes of your life. The acting is absolutely beautiful and not one moment will go by without you feeling one emotion or another. Without a doubt, Joaquin Phoenix has made this film one of my all-time favorites and hopefully, he does the same for you!

On the Steppe
On the Steppe: Plain Talk Imagining Technology Used Wisely
The UW Tech Policy Lab and Value Sensitive Design Lab and the Methow Valley radio station KTRT 97.5 FM "The Root" are pleased to present, On the Steppe, a radio series on designing and using technology wisely. In these conversations, UW Information School Professor Batya Friedman and KTRT Radio Program Manager Don Ashford think about how we shape technology, how technology shapes us, and how we can grow our moral and technical imaginations. Join them in these conversations!
1. We Define Ourselves by the Questions We Ask (16:04)
Asking good questions is hard work. In our first episode, Batya and Don discuss what it means to use technology wisely. Listen while they explore how to think through questions about the present we're in, the future we want, how we might get from here to there, and what it means for the technology (and world) all around us.
2. Evaluating A Technology: Efficiency Ain't Enough (18:33)
How can we tell if a technology is working well? From health care, to robots, to tractors – how do we decide if a technical system really incorporates and accounts for what matters most to us? In this episode, hear Don and Batya work through what it means to think about, design, and build technologies with a humane touch.
3. Think Twice it's Not Alright (16:57)
Where do you keep your family memories? Are they photos in an album, or data in the cloud? What does it have to do with nuclear energy? In this episode, Batya and Don think about what we can learn from past technologies that showed great promise but had a serious downside, in order to make better choices in the future.
4. Virtue And Vice: Personalization (20:31)
Have you ever had a great idea that turned out to be not so great? The technologies all around us make life better in many ways, but difficult in many others. How do we navigate these strengths and weaknesses? Hear Don and Batya discuss the potential virtues and vices of different technologies in a world where the stytems we build can be tailored for each individual.

The Conversationalists
On the Steppe is an on-going collaboration between long-time KTRT 97.5 FM radio manager Don Ashford and established technologist/design researcher from the University of Washington Batya Friedman. Don has lived rurally for 50 years, 36 of those in the Methow Valley, and managed the radio station for 24 years. He has a longstanding curiosity about technology, particularly as it impacts and shapes rural living. Batya is best known in the field of human-computer interaction for her extensive work in Value Sensitive Design and, more recently, multi-lifespan design. She co-directs the Value Sensitive Design Lab and Tech Policy Lab at the University of Washington, which has sponsored this project. For the past nine years Batya has been a part-time resident of the Methow Valley.
The OTS Team
Nick Logler is research assistant extraordinaire for On the Steppe. He is a PhD candidate at the University of Washington Information School where he studies the materiality of information technologies. Elias Greendorfer has created the visual design for On the Steppe. He is a PhD candidate at the University of Washington Information School where he studies rites of passage.


Research on group dynamics led me to make a video on the Punkabbestia, a little-understood social phenomenon. The punkabbestia, with their faithful dogs at their sides, live on charity in the gang and bring the old meaning of existence to the dehumanised metropolis. It is no coincidence that the video-installation uses the idea of a "heavy metal" tent as the primary unit. I wanted to portray the punkabbestia as decontextualised figures that turn back the clock of time inviting us to reflect on our existence and on the emptiness that surrounds us. They are almost immobile figures in the fast-moving city, whose presence creates a sense of uneasiness and permanent estrangement.

While some copywriters like teasers, others prefer to be more anonymous. The philosophy is that if it looks like junk mail, it is considered junk and will be thrown away without being opened. Others contend that the right teaser influences the target audience enough to open it, and those who do not open the envelope would not have responded if they had. Either way, know that the unassuming plain white envelope is an option that begs to be opened simply because the sender is unknown (your return address should be personalized to you and your office, and not your company).
In the same vein as the plain white envelope, many marketers believe that a handwritten envelope stands the best chance of being opened. Not only is the envelope plain, but you have taken the time to physically write the name and address. This intrigues your customers, and they'll open your envelopes.
The perceived quality of your envelopes can make a difference in your open rate. Cheap, flimsy envelopes say that they've been mailed from a cheap, flimsy company. For a strong, sturdy, robust appeal opt for printing your envelopes on 70-pound white wove or premium 24-pound synergy bond paper stock. Sales letters are highly effective when they're written with masterful copy - and opened. The envelopes that sheath sales letters are conduits to the imagination. Your job is to tickle that imagination enough to open the envelope.

I will not speak to you! Foreign Minister tells Joy FM
By Myjoyonline.com
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Hanna Tetteh, Friday morning stated in clear terms that she will not speak to Joy FM on the ongoing xenophobic attacks in South Africa.
She said she would rather speak to Radio Gold, and that if Joy FM wished, it should listen to that station for government's position on the attacks.
There were reports Thursday that one Ghanaian had been killed in the senseless attacks in South Africa.
As part of efforts to verify the story and to find out what government is doing to protect Ghanaians in that country, Joy FM's assisting news editor Fred Smith called up Ms. Tetteh as Foreign Minister to speak to the issue.
But her response was curt; 'I will not speak to you. I will be speaking to Radio Gold, if you want listen and take the sound from them.'
This is not the first time the Foreign Minister is refusing to speak to JOY FM on matters of public interest.
As Trade Minister in the late President John Mills' government, Ms. Tetteh repeatedly ignored attempts by journalists from the station to obtain information from her.
On one occasion, she sacked a Multi TV crew from a press conference, saying the station was not invited.
It is unclear why the minister is refusing to speak to Joy FM.
Ms Tetteh's action may be traced to a 2008 disagreement with the Producer of a live political talk show.
As Communications Director of the opposition NDC's campaign in the 2008 elections, Ms. Tetteh, believing that an NDC representative on the show was not arguing her party's position forcefully, stormed the station and demanded to be allowed on air to contribute to the live discussion.
Joy News Editor Araba Koomson, who was producing the show, prevented her from joining the show. Unhappy with the turn of events, Ms. Tetteh, praised those days for her calm, erudite explanation of the NDC's policies, left the station.
The NDC won the election and she was appointed Trade Minister by President Mills. She consistently declined interviews requested by Joy FM reporters.
In 2009, there was a slight altercation between the Awutu-Senya West legislator and Joy FM's Upper East regional correspondent then, Joseph Osei.
The Trade Minister whilst assessing work on the Northern Star Tomato Factory made comments that were deemed unpalatable.
According to Joseph Osei, when the Upper East Regional Minister at the time, Mark Woyongo, drew the Trade Minister's attention to the fact that her comments could demotivate tomato farmers, she requested the journalists there to delete the comments from their recorders and television cameras.
This was later denied.
But Ms. Tetteh's apparent and inexplicable boycott of Joy FM continues unabated.

She earned AA degrees in geology and psychology with a minor in African Studies, plus received bachelor degrees in psychology and philosophy; a Master's of Divinity and was named a Fellow of Pastoral Leadership Development while doing Doctoral Studies at Princeton University.
Cindy is survived by her husband, David; two sons, Jonathon and Emmanuel and his wife Jadyn; a grandson Barrett Lester; a sister Patti, and numerous brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews in both USA and Australia.

Polonia Mică sau Mica Polonie (în , în ) este o regiune istorică a Poloniei, care se întinde în zona de sud-est a țării. A nu se confunda cu regiunea administrativă din zilele noastre, Voievodatul Polonia Mică, care corespunde doar unei regiuni mai mici a Poloniei Mici.
Capitala tradițională este Cracovia. Fluviul Vistula formează o axă a regiunii.

Polonia Mică istorică este mult mai mare decât Voievodatul actual care îi poartă numele. Se întinde de la Częstochowa, din vest spre nord-est a Lublin în partea de est.  În Evul Mediu târziu, Polonia Mică a devenit treptat centrul statalității poloneze,  cu Cracovia fiind capitala țării de la mijlocul secolului al XI-lea până în 1596. Nobilimea sa a condus Polonia atunci când regina Jadwiga era prea tânără pentru a comanda statul, iar Uniunea din Krewo cu Marele Ducat al Lituaniei fost ideea șleahtei din Polonia Mică.

Geografie
Polonia Mică se întinde între Munții Carpați la sud și râurile Pilica și Liwiec la nord. Teritoriul Poloniei Mici se întinde în principal în regiunea de podiș a Platoului Malopolon. În fapt, voievodatul Polonia Mică, care a primit numele său după această regiune, este mult mai mic decât teritoriul istoric și acoperă doar partea de sud-vest a regiunii istorice.

Polonia Mică se învecinează la vest cu Silezia și Polonia Mare, la nord cu Mazovia, la est cu Rutenia Roșie (a cărei marea parte apartine Ucrainei) și la sud cu Slovacia. Frontiere istorice nu corespund cu frontiere actuale ale voievodatelor.

Polonia Mică se întinde pe teritoriul a șapte voievodate: Voievodatul Polonia Mică (în întregime), voievodatul Sfintei Cruci (în întregime), voievodatul Silezia (aproape o jumătate), voievodatul Łódź (partea de sud-est), voievodatul Mazovia (partea de sud), voievodatul Podcarpatiei (partea de est) și voievodatul Lublin (partea de est).

Orașele regiunii istorice care se află pe teritoriul diferitelor voievodate

Authorities Disrupt International Payment Card Fraud Operation
Approximately 3,000 European Union citizens fell victim to an international criminal network of payment card fraudsters before law enforcement agencies managed to take it down.
Ionut Arghire
The takedown operation resulted in the arrest of 31 suspects, (21 in Spain, 9 in Bulgaria and one in the Czech Republic), and in 48 house searches (14 in Spain and 34 in Bulgaria). Equipment used to forge payment cards, payment card data readers-recorders, skimmers, micro cameras, devices designed to manipulate ATMs, cash, and numerous counterfeit cards were found in suspects' possession.
The operation was carried out by Central Investigating Judge number 5, the Public Prosecution Office at the Audiencia Nacional and National Police of Spain, and the General Directorate Combating Organized Crime in Bulgaria, with the support of Eurojust and Europol's European Cybercrime Centre (EC3).
As part of their fraudulent activity, the criminals installed skimming devices on an average of 400 ATMs every year, between 2014 and 2017, which allowed them to copy and clone bank cards, Europol says. The fake cards were then used to perform illegal transactions outside the European Union.
The criminals used the cards in 200 ATMs located mainly in the USA, the Dominican Republic, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Peru, the Philippines and Costa Rica. Around 3,000 people were affected by the fraudulent activity, which resulted in total losses of at least 500,000 Euro.
During the investigation, Eurojust provided coordination among authorities in Spain and Bulgaria, while Europol offered tailored intelligence analysis and expertise and also deployed mobile offices on the spot in both countries. Eurojust and Europol also assisted the joint investigation team (JIT) that was set up between the cooperating countries.
"This successful operation confirms Eurojust's commitment to protect the assets of EU citizens from falling into the hands of cyber fraudsters. An entire criminal network was taken down and, as a result, is no longer able to defraud innocent victims, thanks to the joint efforts of the Spanish and Bulgarian prosecuting authorities, and the valuable support provided by their National Desks at Eurojust," Francisco Jiménez-Villarejo, National Member for Spain at Eurojust, said.

Sara is a super talented wedding photographer who lives here in my tiny town. We've gotten to know each other over the years, and she was a huge part of the growth of Your Ampersand Studio in the beginning when I was discovering that photographers were my dream clients. I designed her previous logo, and was so honored when she came to me for a complete rebrand and website design when she was ready.
Sara's brand has grown and matured a lot in the last two years, and that paired with her ideal client's personality helped us to come up with a clear vision for her brand update: creative, elegant & adventurous.
Below is her final logo, alternate logo, moodboard and color scheme. I truly love how it all came together.
Once we had her logo completed I designed some business cards and other visual collateral for her to start sharing.
And then it was time to make it all come alive on her Squarespace website. This design began with the GoLiveHQ Banquet template as a base, and I modified from there. This is a site you need to see live to get all the little nuances and features. Its dynamic, showcases Sara's incredible photography, and since we launched, it got her completely booked out for weddings in 2017!
Here, enjoy a quick walk-through of her homepage!
One of my favorite things about Sara being local is that I got to shoot some new headshots for her to go along with her branding update and to use on her website. We took 20 minutes one afternoon at my favorite local spot and I captured these of her.
Are you thinking about taking some time during the slow season to rebrand your photography business? I'd love to chat with you about it! Visit my Design page for all the details, and set up a time that works for you so we can have a Skype (or in person!) coffee date.
