There are a handful of people and companies that make a living buying and selling domain names.
It would be interesting to know how much revenue he generates with this model. Do you have any idea about it? Even ballpark figure be great to know.
This guy has a udrp against him for trying to sell a legal name of a law firm to them, not that shrewd. Michelle Rubin is also a serial spammer of their domains.
I think what he has been able to do over the years with JustDropped is impressive. And, that's quite a large email list. I do have to agree that Michelle could be more selective with who she emails regarding their domains. I receive a couple of emails each week.
14 deals to make $1k vs. 1 deal to make $1k ? or how about 14 deals that make $14k .
I have purchased domains from Dan several times. He's a great guy to deal with, sells at fair prices, and is very quick.
Dan's done a great job and has accomplished a lot in a short amount of time…Thanks Dan for your contributions to the domaining community.
I buy from Dan regularly.. it's always a pleasant experience and the prices are generally very reasonable.

Having lived in big cities (NYC and Berlin) for nearly the past eight years, I've had time to properly diagnose that unruly feeling of restlessness prompted by urban living, or perhaps by staying in the same place anywhere, really, for an extended period of time. The usual suspects certainly help — exercise, sunshine, quality time, shopping, and wine (I think we can bunch the lot under self-love) — but nothing scratches that itch quite like a literal mini-break from reality. Best taken every two months or so, and under no circumstances, should one go an entire season without a little vaca.
A month of intensive German classes paired with a not-so-summery Berlin summer really sweetened the deal that was a week on Mallorca. This well known island, and Ibiza's trusty brother, is located in the Mediterranean Sea and is the largest of the Balearic islands. It's part of Spain, but during high season this is hardly apparent as 90% of the inhabitants are German and British tourists. In searching for the right spot to stay on the island, Max and I wanted to have easy beach and hiking access, and to avoid the crazy party scene but still be near a restaurant and bar hub. After deliberation between southeast and northeast parts of the island, we settled on Port de Pollença and couldn't be happier with our decision.

Identifying Period Features in homes
Within many Victorian and Georgian properties, trims and mouldings were implemented for both form and function. Several came to exist purely due to the construction limits of the era, whilst others were inspirations of classic architecture. Interior mouldings were often considered a sign of a room's relevance; the more decorative designs were used only in areas seen by guests. Below are some period features to keep an eye out for when you next go view a property.
This is a plaster trim which covers the changeover between the ceiling and wall. It can be implemented in a plain or more elaborate form; in more modest homes it doesn't tend to show up as often.
Corbels are ornamental brackets used in Victorian and Edwardian hallways, usually presented in the shape of an arch. Similar supports can be found in slate and marble fireplaces from the period underneath the mantelpiece.
Dado rail
This is a section of architrave that sits about 90cm from the floor. Over the Georgian period it was common to lean dining chairs up against the walls, with dado rails there to protect the décor from damage. Once the Victorian era arrived, trends evolved and these rails began to disappear, before returning at the start of the 20th century as a form of decoration.
Picture rail
This is a wooden trim made from architrave, framing the top 30cm of wall. Picture rails were commonly used to hang pictures, creating a dedicated display area above the dado rail.
Plaster frieze
In bigger properties, picture rails were often ignored in favour of ornate plaster frieze, which ran from the cornice down to the top area of the walls. By 1856 plasterwork had entered a new area with the creation of fibrous plaster, using sheets of hessian to boost its strength.
Skirting is a wooden trim, formed to disguise the crossover between walls and floors, as well as offer protection from scratches and knocks. Mouldings made of timber were popular throughout the Georgian era, taking inspiration from classical architecture. By the Victorian era, manufacturing became easier with the introduction of machinery. When dado rails went out of style, skirting grew in popularity as well as size to create balance for the dimensions of larger ceilings.
Ceiling rose
This is an elaborate circle of plaster moulding used to disguise where the hanging light is attached to a ceiling. This particular feature is designed to catch the smoke that rises from gas lights. Many designs had holes in them to allow fumes to escape between the ceiling and the floor above.

Liverpool FC - The Good, The Bad And The Ugly - Week 35
Last updated : 22 April 2018 By Ben Green
Drawing to the Baggies was surely not wise, but perhaps it was a blessing in disguise. AS Roma are branded "neither fair or right," for hiking match ticket prices out of sight. Transfer speculation has gone totally crazy, with claims the Reds will sign Fellaini. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, another week reviewed at the world's favourite football club, Liverpool FC.
Strange as it may seem, yesterday's humbling at the hands of West Bromwich Albion. To throw away a 0-2 lead as the Reds did yesterday was true Liverpool fashion as we have come to know them in recent years. Yes, Jürgen Klopp rested a number of first-team regulars including, Roberto Firmino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andy Robertson. However, those selected should be capable of seeing off the league's bottom side.
Following Danny Ings' opener on five minutes and his first top-flight goal for (literally) years, it looked as if Liverpool would have been odds-on for the three points. Especially when Mo Salah racked his 31st Premier League goal of the season to make it 0-2 after 72 minutes. Happy days... Or so fans thought. Wrong.

— Premier League (@premierleague) April 21, 2018
It took a goal resembling a rugby scrum in the 79th minute from Jake Livermore and another set-piece nightmare nodded in by Salomón Rondón to bring Liverpool crashing down to earth.
What's good about all this you may ask? Well, with the game against Roma coming up on Tuesday, this was probably what Liverpool needed. Not just in proving that they can't dawdle when leading games, but also in terms of selection.
It's clear the likes of Ragnar Klavan, Alberto Moreno and Danny Ings aren't good enough. If Klopp needed any more evidence he got it at the Hawthorns yesterday - in duplicate. It's also clear that Klopp is keeping the best players fresh and so he should. Tuesday's game is the biggest of the season so far and it's clear the manager doesn't want to fall short. In fact, he can't. It's not allowed!
The Echo this Week rightly reported the clear disparity in the Champions League ticket pricing situation as AS Roma set prices for Liverpool fans at £73.
Liverpool have written to UEFA to voice their concerns after the Spirit of Shankley supporters group referred to the Italian club's approach as being "... neither fair or right". Hear, hear! It should also be noted that Roma fans will be charged £48 to see the first leg fixture at Anfield.

Aside from the fact that Roma are clearly taking the p*ss, most would agree that this is against the spirit of the game. Further, it flies in the face of another UEFA initiatives the so-called "Financial Fair Play" regulation. Intended to regulate the spending of (principally) top teams. In my opinion, this episode provides good grounds for the implementation of a "Ticketing Fair Play" initiative also. Or would that just be too straightforward?
We all know that with the end of the football season looming large, the transfer speculation machine will go into overdrive. This year, however, it seems, that things have gotten somewhat out of hand. The Express (citing transfermarketweb) claimed this week, that Liverpool are lining up a "shock" move for Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini.
Being a curious kind of guy, I pursued the story, only to find probably the smallest article ever written. If indeed it even qualifies as one at around 160 words. It's hard to believe that an established mainstream newspaper can't find a better story to write. It's understandable that the odd Twitter hackwill latch on to it, but a paper of this stature?
Liverpool are said to be edging closer to snapping up Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini to Anfield. (Source: Daily Star) pic.twitter.com/edq2cIOxhz
— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) April 21, 2018
What's funny is that the story in the Express is twice as long as the "reports" (in reality snippet written in boredom to attract interest) that it refers to as a source. We all know you can never say never in football. However, some pigs should be left flying!
Next up Liverpool welcome AS Roma - the first victim of my proposed Ticketing Fair Play Scheme - to Anfield for the first leg of the Champions League Semi-Final. What a cracking match this is lined up to be!

We caught up with the incredible Chef Gary LaMorte who has recently embarked on a new journey in his career as a chef. He is using his years of experience helping to open restaurants around the country in his new restaurant consulting venture, Honest Hospitality. We talked about what he hopes to accomplish with Honest Hospitality and sustainability in the restaurant industry.
How did you first get your start in the culinary industry?
Personally I've always loved the kitchen. Even as a kid, pleasing people with flavors and hospitality was a very natural endeavor. Professionally, I started around 15-years-old at a steakhouse on the border of The Bronx & Yonkers, NY where I grew up.
Tell us about your newest venture, Honest Hospitality.
Honest Hospitality is a consulting company geared at full service restaurants and industry related technologies. Our goal is to drive the industry standards for operational excellence and create better career paths and working environments for chefs. We provide full service evaluations and support from secret shopping to managing opening processes and signature dish creations.
Sustainability has become something of a buzzword – it means different things to different people. What does sustainability mean to you?
I think sustainability is a mentality we need to apply in all aspects of our lives, from professional ethical purchasing to emotional and spiritual maintenance. One of the greatest lessons I have learned is that the most important thing to manage is yourself. It's too easy to forget that and burn too bright.
How will you be incorporating sustainability / sustainable practices into your work at Honest Hospitality?
We coach mentality management to promote sustainable work relationships and environments. We also always drive our dollars and promotion at companies dedicated to the future of our food supply.
As you seek to take your years of experience in the industry and share your insights to help other restaurants succeed, what's one of the most fundamental pieces of knowledge that you think restaurateurs need to grasp?
Organization and process management is the key to providing stable work environments and guest satisfaction in an industry that is getting more challenging to staff and manage. Invest in a systems based operation vs. a people based operational plan. If you're not sure what that means call me.
It must drive you crazy when you see chefs and new restaurant owners making simple and easily avoidable mistakes. Are there any such mistakes that you see a lot?
The biggest mistake a new business can make is not investing in quality leadership and infrastructure to support them. The future of our industry is going to require businesses to do a great deal more to support their management team members and employees.

Thu, Apr 5, 2012, 10:32 am SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.
Apr 05, Colombo: The National Christian Council of Sri Lanka has called on the government to fully implement the recommendations of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission (LLRC).
The Council issuing a statement said it called on the government to formulate a constructive position on the resolution adopted by the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) in Geneva.
"The National Christian Council of Sri Lanka calls on those who are in authority, and very specially the Government, to formulate a constructive position on the resolution adopted by the UNHCR in Geneva. Such a position should be aimed at fostering national reconciliation of all people in Sri Lanka and move beyond mere emotional sentiments, and blaming nations or individuals," the Council stated.
The Council has noted that the LLRC recommendations provide a platform to address the critical issues confronted by the people of Sri Lanka and build a united harmonious nation.
"We reiterate our position that the LLRC recommendations provide a platform to address the critical issues confronted by the people of Sri Lanka and build a united harmonious nation. We call upon the Government to formulate a clear strategy for its implementation and ensure the participation of all our people including the civil, political and religious sectors strengthening the democratic space which alone will enable us to live with dignity, ensure our sovereignty and bring about peace and prosperity to our island," the statement read.
The statement was signed by Rev. Charles N. Jansz, Chairperson of the National Christian Council of Sri Lanka/Moderator, Christian Reformed Church, Rt. Rev. Dr. Daniel S.

find where the APIs are listed.

Every time I'm on Youtube I get a note (I have cookies set up that way) that apis.google.com wants to put a cookie on here. Does it do something important? I did a quick search and really didn't find a good answer.

Q: 64-bit software development using 32-bit APIs? What? Help!
I will be writing code on several different platforms, including Windows 7 64-bit, Ubuntu 64-bit, Mac OSX Snow Leopard 32/64-bit, etc.
I know that in C++, and depending on which compiler, integrated development environment, etc., the compilation process will compile the code to the target architecture for the processor using the operating system's API/GUI to execute the program, whether in a text-based interface(console window), or GUI window(mostly used).
But that's not the confusing part ... the confusing part is the bits.
Let's say I write a program in 32-bit Windows XP professional, release a compiled executable(.exe)extension, copy the file, and test it on my Windows 7 64-bit ... Windows 7 has a 32-bit sub-system ... will it work? Or what about on 32-bit Windows 7? Given the fact that I don't really understand the concept here on how many bits it is released in(depends on the OS I am assuming), does a 32/64 bit difference make any real significant difference or error occur between different versions of Windows, whether or not the bits are the same width(e.g. Windows 98 is 32-bit), or would it depend solely on the operating system?
PS: SDL uses 32-bit code, yet it can be compiled under x64 architecture with 64-bit Windows, and 64-bit IDEs as well. Is it just dependent on the final compilation steps always?
A:64-bit software development using 32-bit APIs? What? Help!
For the bits, I would imagine that a 32 bit will work on both 32 and 64, but a 64 bit would only work on a 64 bit machine. I haven't paid much attention to that as most machines I work with nowadays are all 64 bit machines. As for the porting, unless your using Real studio, which compiles into all three major OS's, it will only work in it's native OS unless you actually tell it how to work in other OS's. That's what I know about it so if someone else who has more experience than me can say for sure on either one, please correct me if I'm wrong.
I need to edit VISTA based BCD store file using WMI APIs provided by Microsoft. My goal is to modify the given BCD file and edit osdevice and device attributes to replace WinPE.wim ramdisk file name with some given .wim file name.
Please find attached the .zip file containing the source code and BCD file.
Currently I have implemented partial code in C++ which reads BCD file and successfully loads BcdStore class object out of that. But after that I cannot get BcdObject instance for the BCD identifier. And I guess I would need BcdObject instance to set the required attribute values.
It would be grateful if someone can help me on this.

Nvidia?s paying the price for the GeForce GTX 970?s memory controversy?literally. The GTX 970 refund website is now live after Nvidia agreed to pay GTX 970 owners $30 each to settle a class action lawsuit.
The false advertising lawsuit stemmed from a pair of hardware inconsistencies that prompted a not-quite-apology from Nvidia?s CEO. The most obvious is the GeForce GTX 970?s notorious 4GB RAM allotment, which Nvidia split into a full-speed 3.5GB segment as well as a drastically slower 512MB segment without telling customers. The company also erroneously claimed the card had 64 render output units while in reality it had just 56.
Well, some of those users. You?re eligible only if you purchased a GeForce GTX 970 graphics card from Nvidia, its add-in card partners (like EVGA and Asus), or an authorized retailer between September 1, 2014 and August 24, 2016, and only in the U.S. You might also be eligible if you purchased a desktop computer with a GTX 970 from an authorized retailer in that time frame.
Don?t dilly-dally if you?re eligible. You must file a claim by November 8 if you plan on cashing in. The court is expected to approve the settlement in December.
Anyone ever come accross this?
I just had the same problem a couple of days ago. After uninstalling my printer drivers and reinstalling I still had the same problem. I tried some suggestions on these posts but still nothing. When I opened my printers in control panel I found three other printers listed two for quicken and one for Microsoft office I deleted these (but not my original HP ink jet printer) and this worked. Hope this helps someone else.

You can get it from MS here.Though the download is only 22.4mb, it will unpack to around 90mb.Version 2.0 is outdated. version 3.5, which is current and contains past versions (but much larger) is also available in a redistributable package from MS as well. You will want to uninstall any older versions before installing 3.5 though.

[11/10/09,17:15:32] WapUI:  DepCheck indicates Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0SP1 (CBS) is not installed.
Does this happen every time you try to install the framework, or have you only tried to install it once so far?
I have installed dotnet framework 3.5 version recently.I figured out that i also have version 2 and 3 already installed in the system.Is it okay if i remove those as i now have the upgraded version.Would that disturb the functioning of the other applications?
Q: dotNET installed on USB HDD?
This is more of an annoyance than a real problem, but your views would be appreciated.
I have a USB attached drive which I use primarily for long term data storage. When tidying up files on this the other day I noticed what appears to be a dotNET patch on the drive. It seems to have got there in February. Two questions.
1. Should it be there?
2. If not then how to get rid of it safely?
A:dotNET installed on USB HDD?
Just delete it. It's just the installer for that update.
Yes I looked but I couldn't find the definitive answer I was looking for.
To install dot net I need to start from scratch, right?
Start from version 1 then move through all versions until I get to the latest version, right? I have a lot of time on my hands right now and I might as well start in on this project. I am ready to set a restore point as I write this.
Let me know if I am on the right track, please, and thank you.
Windows update should offer them in the correct order.
created a VB.net program assoicated with dotnet 1.1 framework. Gave the program to customer and customer updated their system with latest dotnet 3.5. the program no longer working.... Why? Anyway to overcome this dotnet update problem?
Hi can anyone suggest me some free websites from which I can download books for microsoft dotnet.
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium, Version 6.1, Build 7600. I am trying to install and add-in for Microsoft Word 2003 (redaction add-in). When I click the installer, a dialog box states I need to install "Net framework." It asks it I would like to install it now. I click "yes" in the dialog box and I am taken to the Microsoft website to download the application. I downloaded the application, and when I click on it, nothing happens. I went back to download the entire file instead of the bootstrapper version, and the files will extract, but it stops and closes after the files are extracted.
I even "right-clicked" the file and selected "run as administrator," but the same thing happens. Can anyone provide any insight into this issue?
Hello Joseph, and welcome to Seven Forums.
You should have a option to change the extract location. Have the files extract to your desktop instead of the default location. There most likely is a installation file included in the extracted files.
My Packard Bell updater needs .NET framework 2.0 (included in .NET framework 3.5) - Windows Features goes to Windows Update and fails. First automatically when the program requests the missing feature. Secondly when I go to Windows Control Panel Features and try to update directly.
My Windows To Go RP is otherwise fine.
Downloaded the full .Net framework 3.5 installer package (237 MB) -which stalled at 87.8% on the first attempt. 2nd attempt OK.
On trying to run the package, Windows Features kicks in asks to download the files from windows update then fails again.
7-Zip shows that the installer is nested deep in the setup installer executable! - and the Windows Update Standalone Installers found within do not work failing with access denied 0x80070005 error.
So how can the .Net framework 3.5 be installed?
You could try installing in Windows 7 compatibility mode.
hello, i was wondering if there is a way to develop an application in new visual basic versions without using the dotnet framework. Most new applications are written in new C++ versions yet they do not require the dotnet framework, anyone know how to create a vb app without the use of dotnet?if that's not possible please let me know how i can package my installer with the entire dotnet setup and install it in the user's pc if required.
I am trying to enable DotNet 3.5 for a software install but when it goes to download the components windows update fails. Windows updates has been disabled on this machine by machine based policy it seems and nothing I have tried enables it again.
This app needs to be installed ASAP. Does anybody know what registry key will re-enable windows updates so I can get the files necessary to install DotNet 3.5? Or is there an alternative?
Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 -- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is already a part of this operating system, but it is currently turned off.
Have tried to DISM 4.5 without success. Is there a script to force the installation of 4.5?
"Error 1304:Error writing to file D:\WINDOWS\INF\AER_1031.ADM . Verify that you have access to the directory"
Also when i am installing visual studio 2005. it displays same error when it reaches to the point where it installs frame work.
Can anyone plz help me with this problem..
We have some tools designed for dotnet framework 2.0.i want to run those tools in Win7.can anybody help me ?
.Net framework 2.0 is not supported by Windows 7. If your application demands 2.0 you're out of luck. You could run a Virtual machine (Microsoft Virtual Machine/XP Mode ( info here), VMWare etc) with Windows XP on it to run this specific application.
Most applications though require 2.0 "Or higher", so you might just be fine with the .NET Frameworks for Windows 7, depends on how the application itself is built.
If you have any further questions don't hesitate to ask.
HOW can i install dotnet on my system?
Right click Start button and select Programs and Features, then click Turn features on and off and select .NET choices.
After having read the article about RipIt software, i downloded it and installed in on my desktop. As a requirement i was asked to download the dotnet frame 3.0 version automatically by the system.After the download of dotnet frame as per the indication, i am still not able to take advantage of the RipIt software.When i tired to launch for the second time there popped up an error message - Ript.exe -.Net Framework Initalization Error,stating that it was unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application.What do i do?
For around three weeks now I have had issues with all dotNET applications. I have uninstalled - reinstalled. I have run repair. I have uninstalled - restarted - reinstalled - restarted. I have uninstalled - run the dotnet cleanup utility provided by Microsoft (about 30 times at once), restarted - reinstalled - restarted. The error still exists.
I am using Windows 7 x64, all updates installed.
Welcome to Seven Forums Apoco. You tried this .NET Framework cleanup tool, correct?
Do you have System Restore Point from before this problem began?
Q: Can we develop mobile apps in dotnet?
I would like to know it..
Q: Turning on dotnet 3.5 without WU on 64bit a hassle.
I have successfully turned on dotnet 3.5 without connecting to WU on a system on my desktop running windows 8 Single Lang 32bit using the dism command. But it does not want to work on the HP DV7 laptop that I have upgraded the Windows 7 to windows 8 on and it is 64bit system. The laptop runs on a corei7 cpu with 8gb ram and 2tb hdd. I am left with no option but to go to the office tomorrow and let windows update work its magic. It seems as if the '/limitaccess' in the syntax is totally not considered because it gets to 65.8 percent and then throws out a problem about about the sources folder not properly specified. I even changed the drive letter of the DVD drive to 'd' but no luck. I have programs that depend on dotnet 2.0 and 3.0 to run and i live in a area where there is not network most of the time and to get internet i need to drive into town and use broadband connection in the town or landline network at the office. Wat can you say about that?
A:Turning on dotnet 3.5 without WU on 64bit a hassle.
We cant say anything. You know what you have to do.
I have discovered that one of my applications relies in dotnet framework 2 sp 1/ Do i have it installed in my Win 7 32 bit install by default?
How do i know which frameworks are needed amd which are already installed?
Click Start> Computer > C drive if that is where Windows 7 is installed> Windows> Microsoft.Net> Framework.
You will see this appear at top of Snip I posted. I highlighted in yellow.
All versions installed will be listed.
As you can see on mine the latest is 4.0 with updates added.
In Windows 7 Unable to install the Framework 1.1 application, It asking to install Dotnet framework 1.1, Try to install Framework 1.1 it's throughing Error. Unable to install. I tried to install Framework1.1 service pack also. Please help me How to install.
Are you using a modified version of windows 7? Because there are some version that has been strip of certain thing that cause .net to not be installed.
Q: DotNet Nuke - Is it a good website dev tool?
I am presently trying to figure out my best avenue of approach to designing a webpage for myself and one for my company (CA ARNG).
I have put a lot of effort and research into this and believe that using DotNet Nuke would likely be the easiest solution.
My goal is to create a Business Webpage for myself, which can be done with little trouble using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express or Dreamweaver.
The webpage I want to make for my CA ARNG company is a little more complex. It will need an intro page, login/ registration page, forum, user photo albums, etc... similar to Facebook (of course not as complex, just similar) and it will have to be accessible by command personnel as administrators.
Would DotNet Nuke make this an easier accomplishment? I am not completely up to speed with web programming. I do want to learn how to web program, but do not want to wait until I do to have an up and running application.
I am also looking at having http://www.ihostasp.net/SharedHosting/DNNCompare.asp host my site. Does anyone know if this company is solid?
but there's no solutions, and perhaps there's more wisdom around now as the OS has matured.
then i tried to repair install (in-place-upgrade) of the OS. which helped a bit. now i get more descriptive error messages. but dotnet apps still don't run.
also - i have ran the dotnet repair tools that ms provides.
so - what to do next? how about manually deleting everything pertaining to dotnet from registry / its subfolder? would the system still boot?
Error 25007. Error occurred initializing fusion. Setup could not load fusion with LoadLibraryShim(). Error: 0x80131702.
Have successfully loaded on other HP Pavillion 502n. Am i missing something? i completed loading all MS updates before attempting this install.
Q: KB2656351 (dotnet framework security update) Killing Outlook 2010?
this update has crippled my Outlook (Pro 2010 x86) twice, but it's an important update.. Had to system restore as I'd installed afew updates and patches at the same time.
Has anyone else had problems with it?
What if anything can I do, except not install it?
A:KB2656351 (dotnet framework security update) Killing Outlook 2010?
I don't think it's the update - I have installed it and am using Outlook (as part of Office Professional Plus 2010, 32 bit) without problems.
Have you changed any other aspects of your machine's configuration: anti-virus, firewall, ISP....?
I decided to wrie this in Libre to illustrate a point I was trying to make.
This is turning out to be a bad example I guess the default has finally changed this should be in some type of oriental script. According to the charecters displayed in the drop down box.
Well pasteing did not work apparently the editor for this page rendered it different than what was pasted.
I have both Libre and Open office suites. If I understand your unspoken question, you're correct, many writing programs change anything entering into its document "blank" into a pre-determined, pre-set, font and size.
I am a student studying for my Honours project on the Analysis and Detection of Ransomware. Part of this project is to look at different types of Ransomware samples and record their characteristics and behaviour, as well as come up with preventative techniques to stop/halt the attacks. To be able to do this I have been asked to acquire different live samples. As I am new to the forums, and therefore not a verified member I am unable to access the malware repository. I would very much appreciate if somebody could point in the right direction to get some assistance in this area.
Q: Why can't I listen to MP3 samples?
Every time I visit a website that offers mp3 sound samples, I get an error when I try to hear them.
For example, visiting a wind chimes website that offers samples of how their products sound. When I click on the "hear a sample" icon, it takes me to another page, with .mp3 at the end of the address, but I get a little exclamation point inside a yellow triangle in the bottom bar and nothing shows up on the page and I don't get to hear the sound.
When I click on the triangle to find out what the problem is, it tells me, "Error: object expected".
I don't remember having this problem before IE updated itself and changed it's format a few weeks ago. I have no problem hearing music embedded in websites, it's just the sound samples with a .mp3 address.
A:Why can't I listen to MP3 samples?
What player did you use before? Now?
What version of IE are you using now?
Have you also tried Firefox or another browser?
To play/hear any .mp3 or such sound, a player, such as winamp, realplayer, etc. must be installed, and it must have permission to play such files.
May have to reinstall IE, or at the least check all of the settings.

Death Squad In 1980 Killed Achbishop, Who's Now To Be Made A Saint
Salvadoran Archbishop Oscar Romero, who a death squad killed in 1980, will finally be recognized as a saint, the Vatican announced Wednesday.
A death squad gunned down Romero while he celebrated Mass in March of 1980 after Romero openly criticized El Salvador's military government for targeting and abusing left-wing political opponents, according to NPR. The Vatican did not recognize his martyrdom until 2015, when officials declared militants killed him in "odium fidei,"or "in hatred of the faith."
Romero would be beatified if a verifiable miracle could be attributed to him, Pope Francis declared in 2014. Such a miracle has in fact been recognized and attributed to Romero, though the Vatican has not made the specifics public. The nature of the miracle may have been made public in 2017. However, as Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, who led the process of verifying Romero's sainthood (canonization), said in 2017 a pregnant woman's inexplicable healing had been attributed to Romero. It remains unclear whether that alleged healing is the actual miracle the Vatican recognized in this case.
Romero's path to sainthood was long-delayed because of his promotion of Liberation Theology — a theology that gained popularity in the Latin America in the 1970s. The Catholic Church stemmed and criticized the theology by the 1990s for its promotion of a Marxist worldview and its links to the Soviet regime. The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith stalled Romero's case for sainthood, but Francis declared it "unlocked" in 2014, according to NPR.
The long delay in recognizing the obvious fact that Romero was a obviously martyr was shameful. But many saints and blesseds were not understood in their own times (Mary MacKillop and Mother Theodore Guerin among them), even by the church that they served so selflessly.
— James Martin, SJ (@JamesMartinSJ) March 7, 2018
Romero is expected to be canonized along with Pope Paul VI in October at the Synod of Bishops.

The Latest Biotech Growth Market Might be Crap
Moving beyond the DIY practice of fecal transplant, biotech firms are capturing the power of the human microbiome for treatments ranging from irritable bowel syndrome to autism. Illustration by Nicolás Ortega
There's gold in your gut—and startups are mining it with microbiome science. The biggest hurdle? Stool doesn't scale.
By Jessica Leber
In biotech, there's a new kind of asset. Medical breakthroughs usually start out in a research lab, then are painstakingly evaluated in rounds of heavily regulated testing before arriving in the pharmacy or doctor's office. Fecal transplants, an old DIY practice, exploded onto the medical scene around 10 years ago with the help of a more dubious source: word of mouth on the Internet — a place where most health advice truly belongs in the toilet.
The idea that anyone would want to insert someone else's excrement in their own body is undeniably gross. But the practice spread for good reason. Fecal microbiota transplants (FMTs) delivered healthy bacteria that often cured recurrent Clostridium difficile, a very dangerous gut infection that defies antibiotics. Desperate patients suffering from these infections spread the gospel — trading advice, making instructional videos, the works. The method could be done with an at-home enema — no doctors involved — but increasingly, doctors were also paying attention. They began testing whether it really worked as well as it seemed to — and they began worrying about potential side effects, which could range from inadvertently passing along other infections, to weirder consequences such as inexplicable weight gain in people who received FMT from obese donors.
In 2012, MIT microbiology PhD student Mark Smith founded OpenBiome, the nation's first poop bank. Although it was a nonprofit, it essentially became the Amazon of human waste by supplying raw fecal material in a much safer way. Donors, who are heavily vetted, stop by an OpenBiome office to do their business. Frozen, ready-to-use preparations get mailed topatients and scientists doing research. It has already sent out more than 30,000 shipments under a temporary FDA policy enacted in 2013 that allows doctors to use FMT to help certain C. diff patients.
OpenBiome is still making its shipments, but these days, Smith has a new plan: he's aiming to profit from poop.
In 2017, Smith left to run Finch Therapeutics, a biotech company built from OpenBiome's efforts. In all that stool, he expects there's game-changing drugs that, one day, will be sold by your local pharmacist rather than mailed by a tiny nonprofit in Massachusetts. Carefully working out the legal structure to separate the new company from the nonprofit began in 2014 and took several years. Still in his early 30s, Smith has already executed a merger and raised $77 million to mine the trillions of wild bacteria that inhabit our guts.
In other words, Smith has plans to turn guano to gold, and he's not alone.
Fecal frontiers
Today, more and more clinical studies suggest that FMTs, and the microorganisms they deliver, may be useful in a wide range of conditions beyond C. diff — even ones seemingly unrelated to the digestive system, like autism. And a tidal wave of basic research in both mice and humans has revealed that our gut microbes generally may play an important and largely overlooked role in our health.
"We think the microbiome is really fundamental to many aspects of who we are, how our immune systems function, how we regulate our metabolism and how we think and feel," says Smith, who predicts "broad potential across a number of therapeutic areas."
In all that stool, he expects there's game-changing drugs that, one day, will be sold by your local pharmacist.
That's why a growing number of biotech and pharmaceutical companies are tinkering with our natural microbiomes hoping to develop the next great drug. These companies take different approaches, but they divide into those using actual fecal material (or live microbes from it) and those working on more traditional drugs that would either alter the gut microbiome or mimic its effects on health. Rather than rely on artisanal human excrement, the live microbe companies also aim to develop mass-manufactured, easily popped pills, first for C. diff patients, but eventually for more complicated conditions, such as Crohn's disease, allergies, obesity and even cancer.
In essence, as the science of the human microbiome catches up to the practice of FMT, it's become clear that there's the chance for big business and big medical gains.
Flagship Pioneering general partner David Berry, who has incubated and invested in several of these companies, thinks of the microbiome as a new organ. "It's almost like if we uncovered the liver five or six years ago," he says. "There's so many different opportunities that we can pull out of this."
Yet the microbiome is still a risky concept for biotech investors and entrepreneurs because it requires a new way of thinking about human biology, clinical trial design, drug manufacturing and more. That's especially true because live microbes have never been used in a regulated medical treatment before. "While there's interest, and yes, while there's money moving into the field, I think people are at this point where they still don't fully understand it," Berry says.
The most straightforward drug development approach aims to closely replicate FMT by freeze drying processed human excrement and putting it in a pill that meets the FDA's drug manufacturing standards.
The microbiome is still a risky concept for biotech investors and entrepreneurs because it requires a new way of thinking.
For example, Smith's company — with about 150 employees, a pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing facility, and access to patient data — is now recruiting recurrent C. diff patients for a clinical trial of a pill that contains the whole microbial community found in human feces. The trial will test its efficacy against a placebo, and also include stool sample testing to ensure the treatment microbes actually colonize the patients' intestine (something simpler probiotics bought at the supermarket generally don't do).
"We have a lot of data now to suggest that it works, and that it works consistently, and that it is independent of the donor that you are using," says Smith.
He hopes for better results than Seres Therapeutics, which faced a big disappointment in 2016. Its drug candidate for C. diff, a pill of mixed bacterial spores purified from donor samples, was statistically no better than a placebo in a Phase 2 clinical trial, a finding viewed by some investors as a major setback for the entire idea of using live microbes to tinker with our guts. The company's stock price slumped, and has not yet recovered. That result, however, was also a boost for other emerging microbiome drug companies like Second Genome and Enterome that don't actually use microbes themselves.
More From NEO.LIFE
What if Number 2 Makes You Number 1?
Elite athletes have a greater variety of bacteria in their guts than couch potatoes do, raising the prospect of "poop doping."
Seres chief scientific officer David Cook views the negative clinical result as part of the cycle of "ups and downs" that happen when you're leading a field, he says.
In fact, he notes, the company is now testing the same treatment in a new, larger trial — albeit with two major tweaks. One, it is testing a higher dose that Cook believes will more quickly "repair" a patient's microbiome with bacteria that crowd out the C. diffpathogen.It is also using a more accurate diagnosis method to ensure all patients in the trial really have an infection. If it can meet a high bar for effectiveness this time around, according to Cook, the FDA has said there could be sufficient evidence for approval. "We think those two changes can address the shortcomings," he says.
A race with many winners
For the longer-term, many of the live microbe companies, including Seres and Finch, are also testing therapies that eliminate the need for human donors at all.
One big problem with stool is that it doesn't scale well. FMTs delivered by an enema or colonoscopy are not exactly patient-friendly. No matter how well screened, FMTs carry some risks, such as transmitting undetected viruses or altering the microbiome in unexpected ways that could have unanticipated effects, such as changing the immune system. And the rainforest of microbial diversity in our guts can vary significantly from person to person, making donor fecal material a struggle for the FDA to regulate and for companies to manufacture into consistently effective treatments.
Rather than rely on artisanal human excrement, the live microbe companies also aim to develop mass-manufactured, easily popped pills.
For example, while Smith believes C. diff infections can be beat by any qualified donor's sample, early evidence shows that helping inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients might require particular microbes that don't live in every donor. To figure out which are important, Finch is "working backward" from the clinic, Smith says. Informed by its work with OpenBiome, the company is mining data from real-world fecal transplants to tease out the microbes that matter to get a desired effect on health. With this approach, it's now working with Japan drug maker Takeda to test a designer "cocktail" drug for IBD. It contains human gut microbes hand-picked to treat IBD, isolated and cultivated in an oxygen-free vat — no actual human needed.
The company calls this a "rational" drug development approach, an industry jargon term used to mean that there is underlying biological rationale to discovering drugs, rather than another common practice of throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. Yet by insisting we can be "rational" about the microbiome, the term's use also betrays some insecurity about whether the life inside the gut really can be understood and tamed.
"We don't have a great understanding of why FMT actually works, or why it works well," says Daniel McDonald, scientific director of the American Gut Project, a research effort based at the University of California San Diego that is working to make sense of the variations in our individual microbiomes through crowdsourcing. "I certainly think there is a huge amount of potential to figure out: What are the minimal constituents of an FMT that allow somebody to recover? But there are also a lot of other variables at play," he says, including age, geography, diet, and genetics.
For other companies, it's the microbes isolated from poop that are the key drug development asset.
Bernat Olle, CEO of Vedanta Biosciences, likens his company's method to the way big pharmaceutical companies have, for decades, collected obscure plants from around the world and analyzed them to create large libraries of natural product molecules. They typically screen these molecules using computers, petri dishes, and mouse models to find the most promising drug candidates.
"We're doing the same, with the difference that our libraries are not made of molecules," says Olle. Instead, they're made up of microbes from the human gut. Vedanta built its gut microbe library — with more than 65,000 strains isolated so far, which Olle claims is the largest — by sampling stool from healthy people from all over the world: not only in the United States, but places like Japan, Mexico, and Papua New Guinea. With recent encouraging results for its cocktail of gut microbes given to C. diff patients, Vedanta is now preparing to launch its Phase 2 clinical study soon. Before 2018 is up, it also plans to start safety trials for two other therapies: one, a treatment forpeanut allergies and, with the drug company Janssen, another for IBD.
Of course, there are challenges for a field surrounded by high expectations and, as McDonald notes, some hype. Proving that microbial drugs can really improve the health of large and diverse groups of patients is foremost, but these companies must also scale up a new kind of drug manufacturing while simultaneously dealing with emerging regulations.
Is it a race? With so many companies developing similar treatments for C. diff as the first application of microbial drugs, yes, kind of.
"It is a race to be the first. However, I don't think there is necessarily any loser because the patient will benefit," says Courtney Jones, senior project manager for the Minnesota-based Rebiotix, another company working to treat C. diff patients with both pill and enema formulations of human stool. (Rebiotix was acquired in 2018 by a Swiss drug company.)
But more to the point, the race for a C. diff drug is likely to have multiple winners. One company's success could make developing microbiome therapies for other diseases a slightly safer bet. "Usually when one company does very well, even if it is your competitor, it ends up helping the field," Olle says.
Smith, who has watched the field develop, is amazed by how powerful the microbiome seems to be. He thinks the opportunity to someday help cancer patients is one of the biggest potential markets, as early studies have shown that microbes in the gut may help stimulate the body's immune system response to tumors.
"When I was a kid, my aunt had a battle with cancer three times. I thought that's the pinnacle of working in healthcare, if you can do something about cancer," he says. "I never thought we'd be doing that in the microbiome [field]."

Q: How to convert svg data to image/image base64 using java script I have done application using Extjs 4.1 provided option to user to print screens. In all browser working fine without ant issues. But in IE9 except graph(Svg) everything is printing. Can any one tell me how to print graphs in IE9. or how to convert svg data to image base64 ? Great appreciated. Thank you
Code is here
var metricsNumberId = document.getElementById('metricsNumberId');

Sometimes parents may have different religious beliefs. If one parent believes that the other parent's religious beliefs may negatively impact their child's development, this is an argument that family courts may be willing to hear. However, strong evidence will need to be provided that the religion is detrimental. Simply having different beliefs will likely not be sufficient from a legal standpoint. This is why it is wise to have legal representation. Keep in mind that if you have older children, the family court system may allow them to make their own choice regarding their religion and which parent they would like to reside with.
Some children are conceived by parents who live in different states. It is also not uncommon for one parent to desire to relocate for personal or business reasons such as new employment. These cases have complicated factors because child custody laws vary from state to state.
When unmarried individuals conceive a child, many issues can arise such as child support and child custody. Most family courts take into consideration what is in the best interest of the children in the cases. Some states require that paternity and legitimization are established prior to considering granting custody. It is possible for joint custody to be ordered in these complex cases.
Sometimes non-biological parents seek custody. This may happen when a biological parent is unable to take care of a child. For example, one of the biological parents may be deceased or mentally/physically incapacitated. Some cases may involve a stepparent who has raised a non-biological child as their own. Family courts will likely assess what is in the best interest of the child. For example, if the biological parent had been an absentee parent most of the child's life, the court might award custody to the non-biological parent in the case.
An attorney is a good resource to use in child custody cases. A law office like Lynn Jackson Shultz & Lebrun PC has familiarity with the family court system can offer insight on potential outcomes based on the circumstances surrounding your case.


SAN FRANCISCO — The RealReal, the leader in authenticated luxury consignment, today announced it has closed a $50 million growth equity financing from private equity firm Great Hill Partners, bringing the company's total funding to $173 million. Michael Kumin, Managing Partner of Great Hill Partners, will join The RealReal's Board of Directors.
The new funding will be used to continue scaling the company's operations, category expertise, and expansion of its Luxury Consignment Offices and retail concepts. The RealReal is changing the way people shop as they now carefully consider the resale value of luxury items before buying new items and the company has also become a key driver for luxury brands. In 2017 alone, The RealReal is expected to pay consignors nearly $300 million from the resale of their luxury items, the majority of which, they will spend back in the primary market, continuing the luxury lifecycle.
"Six years in, The RealReal continues to expand in exciting ways and this incremental capital will be instrumental in supporting the business and our continuous growth," said The RealReal CEO and Founder Julie Wainwright.
The RealReal has successfully disrupted the traditional consignment model by bringing the experience into a digital marketplace that focuses on trust, rapid and consistent sell-through, and great service. Founded in 2011, The RealReal is a leader in the circular economy, with 5 million buyers and consignors with 4 million items sold across all luxury categories.
Investment bank Ohana & Co. served as The RealReal's financial advisors in the transaction.
The RealReal is the leader in authenticated luxury consignment with a certified expert inspecting every single item. The company has reinvented luxury resale and has changed how people think about and consume luxury goods. The RealReal provides the largest selection of pre-owned authenticated luxury items including women's and men's fashion, fine jewelry & watches, and fine art & home. Consignors earn up to 70% of the sale price and items sell quickly. The company operates Luxury Consignment offices in six US cities that offer free fine jewelry and watch valuations from certified gemologists, as well as white glove consignment service. The RealReal is a leader in the circular economy and an innovator in sustainable luxury.

SITA (vroeger Société industrielle de transport automobile) was een internationaal bedrijf met Franse roots, gespecialiseerd in afvalinzameling en -verwerking. SITA is in 2017 volledig opgegaan in het Franse SUEZ. SITA had vestigingen in Europa, Noord-Amerika, Oost-Azië en Australië. In Nederland was SITA actief als SITA Nederland. De naam van SITA Nederland werd SUEZ Recycling and Recovery Netherlands.

Geschiedenis
SITA werd in 1919 opgericht om de ophaling van het huisvuil in Parijs te moderniseren en stijgende hoeveelheid huisvuil in Parijs het hoofd te bieden. SITA werd in 1971 overgenomen door de Societe Lyonnaise des Eaux et de l'Eclairage en werd zo in 1997 een deel van de SUEZ-groep. Het Franse Sita International Services kocht in 1998 de belangen buiten Noord-Amerika van het Amerikaanse BFI (Browning Ferris Industries) waarmee SITA de grootste Europese afvalverwerker werd. Na de fusie van SUEZ met Gaz de France, werden de milieu-activiteiten (afvalverwerking en waterzuivering) afgesplitst naar het nieuwe bedrijf Suez Environnement. Aldus werd SITA een onderdeel van Suez Environnement. De elektriciteitsproductie bleef onder GDF Suez, later hernoemd naar Engie.

SITA Nederland

SITA Nederland was de Nederlandse vestiging van de SITA-Groep, later deel uitmakend van het Franse bedrijf Suez Environnement. Engie (vroeger Suez geheten) heeft nog steeds een controlerend minderheidsbelang van 35% in Suez Environment. SITA Nederland is in juni 2001 ontstaan uit twee bedrijven: BFI (dat overgenomen werd door SITA) en Watco (reeds eigendom van Suez Environnement via Tractebel). Hierop werden beide bedrijven geïntegreerd. BFI is van oorsprong een Amerikaans bedrijf dat via overnames een voet op de Nederlandse markt zette toen de afvalmarkt geliberaliseerd werd.

Activiteiten in Nederland zijn onder andere het inzamelen van huisvuil en bedrijfsafval, herverwerking van papier- en kartonafval en het verwerken van gevaarlijk afval, dat bij de consument bekendstaat als klein chemisch afval. Hiernaast is het bedrijf actief op het gebied van grondsanering, rioolreiniging en -inspectie en afvalverbranding. In 2013 verwerkte SITA Nederland ongeveer 2.000.000 ton bedrijfsafval en bijna 600.000 ton huishoudelijk afval. Verder werd ruim 150.000 ton gevaarlijk afval verwerkt.

Vestigingen SITA in Nederland
Het bedrijf had circa 50 vestigingen in Nederland en telde ruim 2000 personeelsleden. In de volgende plaatsen waren er vestigingen:

80% Feel Comfortable With Mobile Wallet Security; 94% In U.S.
Despite the ongoing tradition of buying in stores, consumers put more trust in mobile and online shopping, from a security standpoint. While mobile wallet adoption in the United States has not reached mass scale, almost all consumers using them feel they are at least somewhat secure, based on a new study. The study, conducted by ACI Worldwide, comprised a survey of 6,000 consumers in 20 countries in the Americas, EMEA and the Asia-Pacific region. Almost all the consumers surveyed had one or more type of payment card.


When sinners like Zacchaeus are ostracized by the crowd, Jesus asks us to see them and widen our circle of inclusion.
A friend once told me that people aren't all bad. Yet, we want to categorize other humans into neat packages of good or bad. It justifies our position. It allows us to continue our hate or mistrust or dislike. If we ever do see good in what is perceived as a bad person, we find it hard to believe. We don't want it to be true because it's much less confounding that way. It messes with our easy system of good versus bad so we dismiss the possibility.
If you remember the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, he had a scale for the golden goose egg. It determined whether it was good or bad. There was nothing in-between. If it was bad, down the chute the egg goes. If it was good, well then it was a wonderful chocolate Easter treat! Even Veruca, one of the main characters in Willy Wonka, ended up down the bad egg chute for singing a Wonka treat coveting song. If you were like me, you rather enjoyed seeing the scale judge her in such a way.
The problem is how quickly we want to write each other off with any perceived notion of a character flaw, a mistake, an infraction of what would be deemed socially unacceptable, or simply because the person rubbed us wrong that from that point on we'll have nothing to do with them. We don't want to see them. They're bad eggs. Down the chute they go.
Zacchaeus' life was like this. He was a chief tax collector and was rich. The text makes sure to include this description – chief tax collector and rich. He was deemed a bad egg and rightly so. Being a chief tax collector meant you were an entrepreneur. To collect taxes in a certain territory you'd pay a select amount of money in advance to the Roman government to work that area. It was kind of like leasing property. Then, as chief tax collector, you'd get a team of people to work for you who actually collected the taxes. They did the dirty work. The point in all this was to make a profit. All the middle men needed to get paid while still paying the Roman government the taxes that were owed. So, of course, the system was oppressive with excessive taxes. The common folk were being robbed by their own people, Jewish tax collectors, who were traitors working for the Roman Empire.
This, apparently, was the life of Zacchaeus. But, was he all bad?
What if he was just trying to make a living? He could have had a family to care for. Children to feed. We don't know. It's probable. We might do this job if it meant providing food for our family. We have no idea what Zacchaeus went through. People get desperate. But, given the business he was in the crowd would choose not to see him. They wouldn't care to know his story. He was a bad egg and that's all there was to it. He made a living in an unacceptable way and therefore was an outcast living on the margins of society, even as a rich man. No one wanted anything to do with him. Until Jesus came along.
Had this possible first encounter with Jesus planted seeds of reform in Zacchaeus? Were there other stories circulating that had Zacchaeus willing to run ahead of Jesus and the crowd, a grown man, and then climb a tree to get a better view? He was certainly putting himself out there for ridicule. Apparently, though, none of that mattered. He got to see Jesus and in turn Jesus saw him.
"Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today." It sure seemed like Jesus and Zacchaeus were old friends. And if Zacchaeus had been at Levi's dinner party, then perhaps they were. Since Jesus was in the business of seeing tax collectors and joining them for a meal, he called Zacchaeus to make haste and come down. There was urgency in his voice.
One minute Zacchaeus is perched on a limb above the marching crowd to get a better glimpse and the next minute Jesus publically calls his name and invites himself over! He was taken out of the limb and given solid ground.
Through an encounter with Jesus who sees Zacchaeus and offers new life, Zacchaeus is now able to truly see his neighbors and love.
Will his new way of being impact the other tax collectors who worked for Zacchaeus? Will they change their ways? Perhaps they were also at Levi's banquet with Jesus and the seeds had already been sown. Is it possible, with this being Jesus' last stop before Jerusalem, that the other tax collectors would also see who they were oppressing, their own people, and reform could have come upon Jericho? Setting the crowd free, to love and see?
In today's polarized political climate, we are guilty of wanting to point out how horrible others are because of the views they hold. We can't seem to see the good in anyone if they behave or believe in a way that's different from our own. In fact, we often dismiss any possibility of good or refuse to give the benefit of the doubt as a fuel to keep our animosity burning. Of course there's legitimate evil in this world, but in our day to day life people get misunderstood or labeled for all kinds of reasons and their stories don't get told because we don't want to give them the time of day. We'd rather send them down the bad egg chute.
However, God models a different way, more difficult, yes, but one that doesn't allow us to write each other off so easily.
Jesus saw Zacchaeus and welcomed him into the circle, even as a chief tax collector. And while the crowd might have booed at first, Zacchaeus was provided a platform to speak. And on that day salvation came to Zacchaeus' house.
Until God breaks in to help us see. Until we truly hear another's story. Until we are able to see the personhood in the other, it's hard to reconcile. We want to keep the scale of good or bad as our only options. But, hearing one another's story opens the door for healing, of the other and ourselves.
In life we have opportunities where God nudges us to see the other and widen our circle of inclusion. To extend the life-giving love of Christ. To see as God sees everyone, neither all good nor bad, but loved, like Zacchaeus hanging on the limb of a Sycamore tree.

Curt Chandler
Award-winning, respected faculty member
Curtis William Chandler of Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, and Pittsburgh died on January 31, 2022, of pancreatic cancer.
Curt was born to William Dean and Joyce Wareing Chandler on February 27, 1957, in Bad Cannstaat, West Germany where his father was stationed.
When asked about his life, Curt would always proudly respond with "This is my 10th state and second country." Growing up, Curt's family moved frequently. He spent his early childhood in Cloquet, Minnesota; was a middle schooler when his family lived in Marin, California; and he graduated from high school in Lewiston, Idaho. In college he spent his summers with his family in McGehee, Arkansas.
Growing up, Curt was an Eagle Scout and cherished memories of attending a Jamboree in Japan and being on the staff at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. He also raced bicycles, played in the school band and took up photography, which became the focus of his professional life.
Curt was a 1978 graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University, where he was a member and president of Chi Psi Fraternity, a photographer for the Daily Northwestern and the yearbook, and served as publisher of Byline magazine.
In his junior year at Northwestern he met Stacie Paulsen — one of his favorite stories. The couple married in 1980 and began their 42-year adventure.
Curt started his career as an award-winning photojournalist at the Pueblo (Colo.) Star-Journal and Chieftain as a police reporter and photographer. From there he went to the Ogden (Utah) Standard-Examiner as a staff photographer. In 1986 he moved to Cleveland, Ohio to work as a staff photographer and picture editor for the Plain-Dealer and in 1994 he became the Director of Photography at the Pittsburgh (Pa.) Post-Gazette and was later named the paper's first Editor for Online Innovation. During this time he taught photography at Duquesne University.
In 2007 Curt pivoted from almost 30 years at daily newspapers to a 15-year career in education when he became an associate teaching professor in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications at Penn State, where he launched the college's multimedia program.
Curt's skill, enthusiasm, vast technical knowledge and love of storytelling combined to make him a valued and beloved teacher, mentor, colleague and friend. He was active in the National Press Photographers' Association, the Online News Association, Multimedia Immersion, and Lens Collective, among others.
As a professor Curt was known for the individual care and nurturing he provided to students, whether on campus or on special projects in Baltimore, Mississippi, Rio de Janeiro, Oslo, Puerto Rico or Hong Kong.
At home, Curt was a loving father to Toby, Molly, Vince and Madeline. He was a dedicated hockey dad and cheerleader at sporting events, plays, concerts, art shows, skate parks, and poetry readings. Curt loved music and movies. Good times with the family often consisted of curling up on the couch with kids, pets, popcorn and a DVD or taking a picnic to a Clarks concert at Point State Park. His "freaking ginormous" personal collection of books, movies and music reflected his wide-ranging interests and passions. He was always happy when paddling his red canoe, "Rosebud," on lakes and rivers wherever he went. He loved planning and executing the annual family holiday card and the 42-year collection is a tribute to his humor and skills.
Curt was a huge fan of all the family pets but an enduring image is of him cuddling with a carrot-chomping Guinea pig late at night.
He was especially proud of the two Pittsburgh homes the family renovated. The tale of nine months living in a basement while the restoration of the Negley house was in progress was a favorite story, along with the tale of the great cockroach carcass cascade in the Highland Park house.
In recent years he especially embraced the opportunity to travel with his wife and family. Trips to destinations from Rome, Prague, England, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, and Norway to New Orleans, Key West and Yellowstone Park are all captured in his gorgeous photographs. A dedicated eater, Curt especially enjoyed taking cooking classes during their travels.
Curt is survived by his wife, Stacie Lynn Paulsen Chandler; his children, Toby Benjamin Chandler Ekmann (Kate) of Pittsburgh; Molly Kathleen Chandler Campe (Brian) of Bloomfield, New Jersey; Vincent William Chandler of Denver; and Madeline Wareing Chandler of Brooklyn; three grandchildren: Zooey Michelle Chandler and Logan Thomas and Chandler William Campe; a sister, Cindy Chandler Smith (Don) of McGehee, Arkansas; and a brother, Christopher Taylor Chandler (Tammy) of Loveland, Colorado.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Chandler Grant for Storytelling through the Bellisario College of Communications at Penn State University or Family House in Pittsburgh.


'(It Happens) Sometimes' was the debut release from Jack Back, David Guetta's alias allowing him to embrace his musical freedom and get back in touch with his underground house roots. The first piece of music Jack Back shared with the world, it was closely followed by a mixtape and album, causing a stir throughout global dance music. Diehard Guetta fans will object that this track isn't the debut one from his House alias; in fact, it already appeared in 2012 on a remix of Guetta's own "Wild Ones" feat. Sia, but that was a remix collab with Nicky Romero, so we'll just pretend that it never happened.
By the ways, Guetta took the Jack Back project very seriously: he hosted a great ADE party on Saturday night, culminated with a legendary b2b between him, Tom Staar, and Sebastian Ingrosso. Will the French maestro pursue the underground road with this new project? We'll see, but certainly, his interest toward the House and Techno scenes is bigger than ever.
'(It Happens) Sometimes' soared to Beatport no.1 and has had three million streams on Spotify to date, as well as receiving ongoing support on BBC Radio 1's Dance Anthems and international stations across the globe. Now, Defected are excited to reveal Jack Back's first official music video, that embodies the spirit of the track and shows how to let yourself go.
