Cecily Legler Strong (born February 8, 1984) is an American actress, comedian, producer, author, and singer. Strong is most notable for being a cast member on the NBC sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live from 2012 to 2022. She is also the longest-tenured female cast member in the show's history. After graduation from the Chicago Academy for the Arts, she began to perform at The Second City. Strong was hired for SNL while doing improv at The Second City in Chicago, where she moved after graduating from CalArts. She currently has a starring role in the Apple TV+ musical comedy series Schmigadoon! (2021–present), which she also co-produces.

Her other roles include voice work on The Awesomes (2013–2015), supporting roles in films like Ghostbusters, The Meddler, and The Female Brain. She hosted the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2015. Her first book, the memoir This Will All Be Over Soon, was published in 2021.

For her work on Saturday Night Live, she was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 72nd and 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards.

Early life
Strong was born in Springfield, Illinois, and was raised in Oak Park, an inner ring suburb of Chicago. She is the daughter of Penelope and William "Bill" Strong, who worked as an Associated Press bureau chief and as of 2013 ran his own public relations firm. Penny Legler Strong is a nurse practitioner, having worked extensively at area hospitals. Strong's parents are divorced. Strong grew up adoring SNL as a child, reenacting sketches with her friend and watching old SNL commercials on VHS. "I had a tape of the best commercials, and I wore it out, every day." She has stated that she was inspired by Phil Hartman.

In a 2021 interview with Terry Gross on the National Public Radio program Fresh Air, Strong said that because her uncle is a Broadway producer, as a child she often was able to attend Broadway shows and sometimes go back stage to meet their casts.

She attended Oak Park and River Forest High School until her sophomore year, when she was expelled for bringing marijuana to school. She then attended a private Catholic school until transferring for her senior year to the Chicago Academy for the Arts, where she graduated in 2002. She then studied acting at California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), graduating in 2006 with a BFA in theatre. After graduating, Strong returned to Chicago where she studied at the Second City Conservatory and iO Chicago.

Career
Strong performed regularly at The Second City and iO Chicago. Strong performed on a cruise ship with other Second City members for four months. She appeared at the Chicago Sketch Fest, Chicago Just for Laughs, the New York Sketchfest, the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Goodman Theater, the Bailiwick Theater, the Mercury Theater, and with the all-female improv troupe Virgin Daiquiri.

Saturday Night Live
Strong debuted as a featured player on Saturday Night Live on September 15, 2012. The next season, Strong became a repertory player and co-anchored the recurring Weekend Update segment with Seth Meyers, beginning with the season 39 premiere. Strong later co-anchored with Colin Jost, and was replaced on Weekend Update with writer Michael Che, beginning with the season 40 premiere in September 2014, partly at her own request to focus on doing sketches as a part of the regular cast. In 2020, Strong was nominated for her first Primetime Emmy award for Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series for her work on the show. She was nominated again in 2021. She was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the 12th Critics' Choice Television Awards.

Strong drew praise from abortion-rights supporters, and strong backlash from abortion opponents, after appearing in a comedy skit, "Goober the Clown Who Had An Abortion When She Was 23," during a "Weekend Update" sketch on the November 6, 2021, episode.  The sketch followed U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments in two cases relating to the Texas Heartbeat Act.  Strong later confirmed on her Instagram account that the sketch referenced her own abortion. Strong followed up on the commentary a year later, during a "Weekend Update" sketch on the November 5, 2022, episode, appearing as "Tammy the Trucker on Gas Prices and Definitely Not Abortion" before the 2022 midterm elections.

Strong returned to SNL for season 48, and passed former castmate Kate McKinnon as the longest-running female cast member in the show's history, though she missed the first three shows of the season reprising her role in the play The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe in Los Angeles. She returned on the October 29, 2022, episode. Strong passed McKinnon's record with the December 17, 2022, episode, which would ultimately be her last.

Other work
Strong was the featured entertainer at the 2015 White House Correspondents' Association dinner. She took digs at the various news organizations in attendance, politicians of all persuasions, and President Obama. She also took shots at the US Secret Service, host location the Washington Hilton, Brian Williams, Sarah Koenig and the state of Indiana.

In 2016, she appeared in a commercial for Old Navy, alongside other SNL cast members Nasim Pedrad and Jay Pharoah. That year, Strong also joined the climate change documentary show Years of Living Dangerously as a celebrity correspondent. In 2016, she guest starred as Samantha Stevens in TBS's Angie Tribeca and Catherine Hobart in Fox's Scream Queens. She has appeared in a series of commercials for Triscuit since 2017.  Starting in 2020 she starred in a series of Prego Spaghetti sauce commercials and in 2022 she was in several Verizon commercials featuring Apple+ TV with several co-stars including Adam Scott and Julian Edelman.

Her first book, a memoir titled This Will All Be Over Soon, was published on August 10, 2021. The book addresses "the challenges of beginning in a relationship during the pandemic; the pain of losing family and friends; the pivotal events of her life that shaped her; and the importance of gratitude for each passing day." It developed from an essay she wrote about grieving the loss of her cousin Owen to brain cancer in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic that was first published on Vulture.com in 2020.

In 2021, Strong appeared in HBO Max's six-part comedy series That Damn Michael Che, featuring SNL castmate Michael Che. The same year, she starred in, and was a producer for, Schmigadoon!, a musical parody series on Apple TV+. Developed by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, and produced by SNL's Lorne Michaels, the series centers around a couple (played by Strong and Keegan-Michael Key) stuck in a 1940s studio musical town until they find "true love".

It was announced in October 2021 that Strong would make her New York stage debut at the end of the year in an Off Broadway revival of Jane Wagner's one-woman play The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe, which starred Lily Tomlin in 1985. Directed by Leigh Silverman, the show opened at The Shed on January 11, 2022.

With over 4,000 submitted wines, the Asia Wine Trophy is the most important wine competition in Asia. Judges from all the main importing countries of Asia are present, who term every year the quality and implementation unmatched in Asia. Hence the interest in Asia is growing more and more.
The Asia Wine Trophy is already one of the biggest OIV competitions in the world and the largest OIV competition in Asia. Every year about 30 media representatives of the most important trade media in Asia are present in addition to the 130 judges from around the world, to get a personal picture of the Asia Wine Trophy. The media representatives present all share the assessment of judges and are impressed by the perfection with which the Asia Wine Trophy is organised.
This and the desire of the judges present from Asia as well as many professional visitors of the Daejeon Wine & Spirits Fair decided that DWM, in cooperation with the City of Daejeon and other official partners, in the future will continue organising the International Asia Wine Week for professional visitors exclusively.
After the tastings of the Asia Wine Trophy held in the morning, to which only the invited judges have access, the International Asia Wine Week will start at 13:00 in DCC (Daejeon Congress Center). Only professional visitors will be allowed to take part in this event, which will be held over 5 days.
Beside the large tasting area in which the submitted wines of the Asia Wine Trophy can be tasted by the professional visitors, the Asia Buyers Conference will be taking place. In over 15 different seminar rooms, the judges and external professional visitors will be offered with presentations, seminars, market analyses and other information sessions.
In addition to this, companies, associations, wine regions and other professional organisations will have the opportunity to present themselves at a booth in the areas of the Buyers Conference. In addition to wine, an area is also planned for spirits and delicatessen.
To combine an event in this sense is unique and will create a sensation in the Asian market and attract many visitors from all over Asia to Daejeon.
The only disadvantage of the event: The judges who have travelled from all over the world as well as many visitors from Asia will hardly have time to enjoy the beauty of Korea during the Asia Wine Week.
Award-winning wines are at an advantage in the Asian market. Special attention is paid to the award here. A competition such as the Asia Wine Trophy, which is under the control of the OIV and UIOE, whose international judges enjoy the highest reputation, will open the door for your marketing to the biggest market of the future: Asia.
Under the patronage of the OIV and this year for the first time the World Association of Winemakers as well, the Asia Wine Trophy is the most strictly controlled award in Asia.
After the Asia Wine Trophy, a road show was held by the DWM through eight Asian cities. In cooperation with each resident importer, a situation is created in which the wines can be ordered in the presentation. All work with regard to shipping and customs will be supervised and organised by the DWM.
Alongside the Trophies in Berlin and Porto, special prizes will also be awarded in Asia. Winning a special price is always a guarantee for better marketing.
The Asia Wine Trophy is your opportunity to introduce your products to the Asian market. Award-winning wines are especially popular in the Asian market.
The Asia Wine Trophy offers you an easy and affordable way to participate with central shipping. All samples for the Asia Wine Trophy must be sent by the participants to Berlin only. From there they will be transported together to Korea by the organiser without additional shipping and customs charges.
The strong media presence at the Asia Wine Trophy ensures increased awareness of award-winning wines in Asia. Another plus: In Asia especially, consumer buying behaviour is positively influenced by medals. The newly awarded wines can be presented to the public immediately after the trophy at the Daejeon International Food & Wine and sold there directly.
Our all-inclusive package offers you a unique opportunity to take the first step into the Asian market, combining the benefits of trophy participation with presence at the largest culinary fair in Asia.
You can easily register for the Asia Wine Trophy: Fill out our online form in a few steps and send it directly to us. We will take care of everything else.
Sending the samples by air freight to Korea and all customs matters will be undertaken and paid for by the DWM.

GIVE IT A TRY !!!

Q: Recursively call a method to build Binary Search Tree I'm trying to build a binary search tree given an ArrayList of sorted values. In trying to create the most efficient tree possible I take the middle value, and add it to the tree. Then recursively take the leftmost values and find the middle of those values entering THAT into the tree.
Once done the same is done with the right side.
I call the balanceBST() method with the following line:
balanceBST(iterator.list, 0, iterator.list.size() - 1);

given that iterator.list is an ArrayList of integers at the moment containing values:
{5, 17, 24, 31, 44, 55, 71, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 97}
public void balanceBST(ArrayList<E> values, int start, int end){
  int mid = (start + end) / 2;
  while(mid >= 0 && end > mid){
      insert(values.get(mid));
      balanceBST(values, start, mid - 1);
      balanceBST(values, mid + 1, end);
    }
}

the insert(element) method does the leg work of entering things into the binary tree.
This is yielding all kinds of errors and I presume it happens when mid approaches 0 or when the end approaches mid it messes up but I followed the logic myself and I'm not understanding why this is crashing.
EDIT:
For those reading this in the future big thanks to @David. The following fixed the problem:
  public void balanceBST(ArrayList<E> values, int start, int end){
  int mid = (start + end) / 2;
  if(end < 0 || start > end) return;
      insert(values.get(mid));
      balanceBST(values, start, mid - 1);
      balanceBST(values, mid + 1, end);
  }

A: As you are doing a recursive call to balanceBST you do not want the while loop which will result in entries being repeatedly inserted.  Change the while to a termination test and return.  Take care to only insert >= 0 and < end and exit when both are false.

Trick Baby
Two con men stumble upon the chance of a big pay day

Kiel Martin
Mel Stewart
Vernee Watson
Dallas Edward-Hayes
Beverly Ballard
What the hell are these cats up to? White Folks (Martin) and Blue Howard (Stewart) are two Philadelphian hustlers. Blue's black and a lot older, having taught Folks the tricks of the trade. I guess it's important to know Folks is a trick baby, the product of a brief (and no doubt delightful) union between a white john and a black hooker. In other words, he looks white but regards himself as black, a duality that somehow enables the pair to pull off a variety of cons.
Is there a racist cop keeping the brothers down? Interestingly there is a cop keeping the brothers down, but he's black. Initially presented as a kowtower to aggrieved whitey, he's actually a self-interested, corrupt sonovabitch. More greedy than bright, it's still best not to cross him as he might shoot you in broad daylight on the street.
How are the bitches and hos treated? There are only two women here, one white and one black. Neither character is well developed, but at least they don't suffer any Mandingo/Black Gestapo horrors. Blue is married to a fine piece of black ass by the name of Cleo (Watson) and well done that man coz she's at least twenty-five years younger. He loves her, but she understandably doesn't seem too enamored by his queasy foreplay. Indeed, at one point she's in bed with a guy her own age. Blue doesn't slap her around at all. In fact, she gets a tougher time from the scriptwriters who refuse to give her anything to do except play with her hair and pointlessly bitch about Folks.
Folks picks up a classy, well-connected lay called Susan (Ballard) after pulling off a $10,000 con. He goes way over the top during their first meeting by impulsively renting out a hotel's presidential suite in a bid to get her knickers off. He succeeds, prompting her to immediately fall in love. I have to say instantaneous love is a movie bugbear for me but at least she later treats us to some brief full frontal nudity. Hooray! No idea though why she believes sex is an appropriate form of pain management for a very recent gunshot wound.
Do I dig the threads? Given the time period, they're not too terrible. Folks goes in for the odd coat with those unfeasibly wide fur collars but otherwise dress well. Blue looks pretty silly at one point in some sort of garish polka dot suit while later doubling down on his sartorial error by sporting a frilly pink shirt-red bow tie combo that makes him look like a tubby magician. However, apart from some nipple-scratching collars most people look weirdly normal for 1972. Where are all the flares, glitter and platform shoes? Maybe glam rock never reached Philadelphia. Still, a glance around the black bar does throw up a couple of those gloriously unwieldy early 70s afros. Honestly, there's one girl whose head looks like it's being swallowed by a carnivorous, bleached blonde hedge. I have no idea how she managed to fit in through the establishment's doorway.
Does it have funky music? There's no title or closing song which is a bit of a shame. However, the instrumental score accompanying the action is a groovy asset.
Best jive talk: "Don't waste your sympathy on marks. Those sons of bitches are thieves at heart. They'd play the con themselves if they knew how." Blue outlines his heartwarming philosophy.
"My friends call me White Folks and my enemies call me Trick Baby. And girl, that's coz I was born in a nigger pigsty in the ghetto and I came out of a black woman." With a little speech like that to Susan, you can see the interesting territory this flick attempts to explore.
Otherwise there's not much to write home about when it comes to the black dialogue. In fact, I'd say whitey gets the better lines, especially an unbearably self-satisfied liberal doctor responding to a dinner table accusation that his political party's policies are allowing blacks to 'invade' society.
"You can't afford to strangle hope in people," he says. "Without hope, people become dangerous. It's only the smart ones we move up. If we leave a smart one in the ghetto, he might develop into a leader against us. But if we raise him up into white society, we neutralize him. He feels compelled to try to act like us. He loses his identity and his racial anger, if he has any. He becomes alien to his brothers. They realize he sold them out and they grow to hate him. He becomes worthless to them and safe for us. In fact, in his love for the creature comforts, except for his color, he's become one of us." I do enjoy such pseudo-intellectual justifications for racism, especially when articulately put and smugly trotted out in front of the black help.
"I was scared of all those black faces." Susan admits feeling uneasy about being caught downtown in a black neighborhood. Folks demonstrates the error of her thinking by rubbing a burnt champagne cork all over his face. "That's all it takes to make a black face," he reassures her. I have no idea whether this is meant to be amusing or not. Disappointingly, we don't get any later sights of Susan in a black neighborhood to see whether she's got a newfound spring in her step.
Are any hard drugs injected into eyeballs? I don't think drugs are even mentioned.
Are there any pimps roaming the hood? Yeah, his name's Melvin and he's never seen without his pimp hat and silk shirt. Unfortunately, looking like a pimp is all he gets to do.
Is Trick Baby any good? Trick Baby is based on an Iceberg Slim novel, whose cool name alone is enough to make me wanna read his stuff. Apparently he was a fairly unpleasant real-life pimp who became a hardcore, very successful writer, but died bitter and penniless after being repeatedly ripped off. Some might point to his life's trajectory as being a clear example of karma, although, of course, only dickheads believe in such cosmic nonsense.
Anyhow, I was hoping this movie was about the pimping life, partly because I harbor fantasies about being an authoritarian flesh peddler with a harem of young crumpet that I can earn a passive living off while occasionally dipping my parasitical cock into their non-unionized honey pots. Instead I got this low-key, fairly reserved but nicely directed movie about a pair of con artists. Trick Baby lacks nastiness and isn't great, but at a brisk ninety minutes doesn't have any difficulties in holding the attention. There are some glaring day to night continuity errors, as well as a curious fourth wall-breaking moment of comedy. However, the acting's generally a notch above what I've come to expect, with Stewart's performance standing out. Kiel has a much more elusive role in that he's supposedly black but looks one hundred percent white. Perhaps that sort of identity-shredding schizophrenia works in the book but neither the script nor Kiel's casting/acting nails it here. A shame, really, as such an unusual avenue is worth exploring.
All in all, Trick Baby is worth your time but it does feel a bit sanitized and I sense Iceberg's novel is the way to go.
Do I now have a Tarantinoesque urge to be black? Can't say I do. All the blacks are dishonest losers, including the cop. No one's deriving any satisfaction from their work or sleeping well at night, let alone having any fun. Then again, the whites are just the usual bunch of thuggish, none too bright gangsters in trench coats. I guess it doesn't present the best picture of humanity period.

No, we have not gone into hibernation. The DEFCON19 deadline for presentation materials to make it onto the CD is June 24. Red and I have been working almost non-stop over the last week to make that deadline.
Most of Saturday and Sunday was spent turning our submission outline and abstract into a rough version of our presentation slides. I have lost count of the hours we spent rewording, reordering, and generally tweaking the slides.
Using several white drop clothes, and halogen work lights, I turned my garage into a makeshift photo studio, in order to take some better photos of the Wireless Aerial Surveillance Platform and it's various components. Red, being the graphics maestro he is, spent a great deal of time creating overlays, underlays, polish and images to include on the slides.
We are both very pleased and proud of the end result and tonight after one more review the slides should be finalized, and submitted before the deadline.
We hope to see you at the con.

1 pedestrian killed and another in critical condition after hit-and-run in Hesperia
(Photo by Yolanda Sevilla)
HESPERIA, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A woman is dead and a man remains in critical condition after they were both struck by an unknown vehicle that fled the scene.
It happened on June 12, 2022, at about 4:15 am, along a residential area of Cottonwood Avenue, north of Sycamore Street.
According to a sheriff's news release, a 29-year-old female pedestrian had fallen onto the roadway of Cottonwood Avenue and a 32-year-old male attempted to assist her out of the roadway.
"Both the male and female pedestrians were struck by the vehicle in the southbound lane of Cottonwood Avenue," stated the release.
The driver fled the scene of the crash and was last seen traveling southbound on Cottonwood Avenue.
Despite life-saving measures, the female pedestrian was pronounced deceased on scene by emergency personnel. The male pedestrian was transported to a trauma center where he remains in critical condition.
Identification of the 29-year-old female is pending notification of next of kin.
At this time, it has not been determined if drugs and/or alcohol were a factor.
Cottonwood Avenue, from Sycamore Street to Sequoia Street, was closed for several hours while deputies from the Hesperia Major Accident Investigation Team (MAIT) processed the scene.
Anyone with information or anyone who may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact Deputy F. Zavala or Sergeant Brendan Motley at the Hesperia Sheriff's Station. Those wishing to remain anonymous may call We-Tip at 1-800-78-crime or online at www.wetip.com.

The scale of homelessness in Seattle is seen in the city's downtown core, in neighborhoods, as well as parks and wasteland. The perception of homeless people remains plagued by addiction, mental health issues, and other negative tropes but many are homeless due to tough breaks in a hard economy, and they are standing up for themselves, taking control and speaking out.

The first one didn't need me being based at the real-time footage filmed by more than 100 video streamers of the Maidan Revolution in 2014. The second one turned out to be dull. 'The Russian Woodpecker' about Chernobyl zone which was also advertised as something big coming from Ukraine is more of a sensationalist trick rather than a documentary.

Controversial "16 and...
Controversial "16 and Pregnant" Star Nikkole Paulun Announces Her Engagement
June 9, 2014 by The Ashley
Anyone want to take bets on how long before she's pregnant?
Nikkole Paulun was featured on the second season of 16 and Pregnant way back in 2011. Although she wasn't chosen from that season's cast to take part in Teen Mom 2, Nikkole has managed to keep her name in the press over the past few years.
From getting ridiculous tattoos, to trying to hook up with 'Teen Mom 2' star Corey Simms, to staging an alleged fake pregnancy/stillbirth for money, Nikkole's actions since her MTV days are nothing short of controversial and fans continue to follow her to see what she'll do next.
Judging from her recent posts, it appears that Nikkole has some big plans for the near future.
Last weekend, 20-year-old Nikkole announced that she is engaged to her boyfriend, Ryan Rice, and that the wedding is only four months away. (That's October, just FYI!) She announced the news on her Facebook page, saying, "Four months and I'll be a married woman."
It appears that Nikkole and Ryan, who have only been dating about seven months, are planning some sort of destination wedding.
"We've been keeping it a secret until it was official," Nikkole told her friend on Facebook. "We aren't getting married here or everyone would be invited but we will definitely have a big reception some day probably next spring/summer."
Nikkole was previously engaged to Josh Drummonds, the father of her four-and-a-half-year-old son Lyle.

Q: NetBeans should be named "Mexican Jumping Beans" I have been trying to set up a Java form in NetBeans with 15 - 20 visual components (buttons, textfields, etc.) and I have been using the Free Design layout paradigm on the MAC.
According to what I've read, the Free Design layout gives me various alignment guides, but does not try to force my alignments to specific row and column delimiters.  However, I'm finding that when I do this, the width of my form may arbitrarily change, or some of the components I've already placed will move around radically when I make even small adjustments to other component positions.
Is there some way to anchor all these components, once placed, or is there a better layout paradigm that gives me the freedom to place components where I wish to?

A: IMHO, Matisse works best when you know what you want before you start. It doesn't seem to do so well with iterative changes.
Here are a few rules I follow when using Matisse in freeform mode. They don't make it wonderful, just less painful:

*

*Build top-to-bottom and left-to-right. Most jumping happens when you go back an try to insert something.

*Build it in one pass.

*When you make progress, save it. There are conditions where Matisse will drop its undo list. Don't count on Ctrl-Z to bail you out. I use a local mercurial repo to track my changes.

*Keep it small. The more elements, the more likely it is to blow up. Build it out of smaller components. For example, if you have a date field with a button to open a calendar

*

*make that a component.

*Add the component to the palette,

*use that in the larger component.

A: Maybe it's time to look into other LayoutManagers, like GridBag or something else that will give you what you want.  The built-in choice by NetBeans sounds like a poor one for your needs.
If you choose a null LayoutManager you'll get absolute positioning.
But along with it comes absolute responsibility: No help in repositioning any elements.

A: I've found Using GroupLayout directly works really well.  It can be confusing at first because horizontal and vertical layout are done separately, but once you get used to it it's not that difficult.  You can definitely get things to align, and stick together when resizing. It's far better then using nested panels, GridBags, and that kind of  thing.
MigLayout might work too, but GroupLayout is included in the JDK.

A: You may want to look at the absolute layout.  It allows you to put the component exactly where you want it, without all the jumping around.

A: GridBag Layout is my favorite, and specially in Matisse (Netbeans GUI). You have like a wizard to graphically manage all the properties.
Will take you few examples to get things perfect as you want, but when you do, you will never look back.
Take a look at Sun Tutorials GridBag Layout

A: I strongly, strongly recommend MigLayout (And getting away from GUI layout tools).  Any time you think you are saving by using a GUI tool quickly evaporates the second you run into layout manager behavior.  Real UI's are coded, not built with drag and drop.
I found that it took me about 3 hours of fiddling to get used to MigLayout - after that break in period, I found it to be incredibly intuitive and powerful.


I found this in the current issue of Rolling Stone, in an interview with comedian Louis C. K.
"When you sit down to write "Louie," what are your work habits?
SO WISE! Find ways of making it easier for you to focus on important work by making your distractions just a bit less convenient.
1) Go places where the Internet is not available.
2) Hide your smart phone or put it in another room.
4) Put a note on your office door saying you'll be back later and giving an approximate time (even if you're hiding in your office.
5) Check-in with people who are likely to have a true emergency and make sure they know how to find you in said emergency.
The allure of the Internet is powerful and ever-present. Try to find ways to lessen its force when you need to.

Qualys Integrates with Security Command Center for Google Cloud Platform
Integration provides visibility, continuous security and compliance seamlessly across cloud workloads
FOSTER CITY, Calif., March 21, 2018 — Qualys, Inc. (NASDAQ: QLYS), a pioneer and leading provider of cloud-based security and compliance solutions, today announced its integration with the Cloud Security Command Center (Cloud SCC) for Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a security and data risk platform helping enterprises to gather data, identify threats, and act on them before they result in business damage or loss.
Cloud SCC provides security teams a single pane for security features, policies, and insights across Google Cloud platform. Qualys' integration expands on existing data within Cloud SCC by adding vulnerability management and threat data for compute engine instances within a GCP project.
This new capability builds on Qualys' prior GCP integration to give customers visibility of Qualys data within Cloud SCC and allow DevOps and security teams to protect their workloads by gaining full visibility of vulnerability and threat posture at-a-glance. Users can further drill down to find details and actionable intelligence for every identified vulnerability, and can navigate with a single click back to their Qualys subscription for additional reports and threat intelligence.
Customers can gain access to Qualys-generated vulnerability and threat posture data within Cloud SCC by deploying Qualys' lightweight Cloud Agents on workload images. This step will either bake the agent within the image or automatically deploy the agent in the compute engine instance.
"As businesses leverage new technologies to accelerate their digital transformation efforts and move into the cloud, their focus needs to shift towards building security into applications, as well as interconnected devices, right from the start. And this is what Google is doing with their Cloud Platform, helping businesses build security into the fabric of their workloads," said Philippe Courtot, chairman and CEO, Qualys.
"Now more than ever, the cloud is where an increasing number of enterprises are turning to protect their data and stay secure," said Andy Chang, Senior Product Manager, Google Cloud. "With Cloud Security Command Center, we are helping security teams gather data, identify threats, and quickly act on application and data risks. By working with industry leaders like Qualys, we are giving our customers the capabilities they need to keep up with today's ever evolving security challenges especially as they move workloads to the cloud."
Key features of the new Cloud SCC include:
Asset Discovery and Inventory: Discover assets across Google App Engine, Google Compute Engine, Google Cloud Storage, and Cloud Datastore and view them in one place. Review historical discovery scans to identify new, modified, or deleted assets.

Q: type hint for generic attribute inside abstract class I have a convoluted problem with types that I can´t solve.
Let's say I have some abstract classes and a generic type equivalent to this
from abc import ABC
from typing import Generic, TypeVar

class Action(ABC):
    pass

ActionTypeVar = TypeVar("ActionTypeVar", bound="Action")

class Agent(ABC, Generic[ActionTypeVar]):
    actions: tuple[ActionTypeVar, ...]

    def get_action() -> ActionTypeVar:
       return self.action[0]

This works as intended. But I need is to define a function similar to get_action outside the class(in a different package in fact).
def get_action_outside_class(agent: Agent) -> ActionTypeVar:
    return agent.actions[0]

The problem is that here the return type is not precise anymore, since we are outside the scope of the class. I wanted to indicate this is of the same type as the elements of agent.actions.
I have tried referencing the elements of Agent.actions in the return of get_action but I can't find out a proper way to do it.

A: You aren't using Agent generically.
def get_action_outside_class(agent: Agent[ActionTypeVar]) -> ActionTypeVar:
    return agent.actions[0]

(Any TypeVar would do; it doesn't need to be the same one you used when defining Agent.)


DreamHost allows users to add IPv6 addresses to domains hosted in the panel. IPv6 has some advantages, one of which being that there is a much larger pool of IPs available than IPv4 which is becoming outdated.
While there is a charge for adding an IPv4 address, there is no charge when adding an IPv6 as there are many addresses still available.
Click the 'Add IP' link under your domain.
Click the blue Add IPv6 IP Now button to add an IPv6 address to your domain.
To remove the IP, select the red 'X' next to the IP.
There are a few ways to test if an IPv6 address is active and responding.
If it's resolving, you'll see the IP address respond.

With 550 locations worldwide, Gold's claims to be the largest coed gym chain in the world. It has 2.5 million members. As of today, I became No. 2,500,001.
But Gold's is just four miles from my house and turns out to be cheaper than the YMCA I've gone to the past three years. And so, I found myself signing on the dotted line minutes into my first visit. Yesterday, the place was teeming with machines. Today, I realize, it might also be teeming with people. Serious jocks. Guys named Rocco who can crush me like a bug.
I need an entrance strategy. I know wardrobe counts, so I dress in black. Reminder to self: Buy black cross-trainers at The Athlete's Foot. I also read all of yesterday's football scores. I mean, Robin Williams and Nathan Lane were on to something in "The Birdcage." I'm ready to throw those Miami Dolphins scores around.
But first, I try a little reconnaissance. I drive twice around the parking lot and discover, to my relief, nearly as many minivans as SUV's, just four or five pickups, and only a handful of yellow ribbons plastered on windows and bumpers. The place looks pretty normal after all. Inside, a Barbie doll with a baked-brown synthetic sort of tan smiles behind the desk. But behind her, sweating and hefting, is a pretty normal crowd of newly resolved fitness buffs. Guys with guts. Girls grinding off a few too many Christmas cookies. Just a few Roccos, tattoos plastered down their arms and lower legs. But the place is warehouse-sized, so I smile and quickly steer clear.
I stretch out, struggle through 70 crunches (I was up to 100-plus in September), bike 11.49 miles in 30 minutes (I choose the speed labeled "fat-burning"), manage another 400 calories on the weird machine that makes you feel your legs are sliding up and down a hill, and call it a day.
Except for one harried young mother clutching a tow-headed son, I don't even see another cutting-edge fashion plate dressed in black. What do you think? I probably can stick with my white New Balance cross-trainers after all.

Vietnam unable to escape effect of win for "Leave" camp in UK.
As with almost all stock markets around the world, the United Kingdom's decision to leave the European Union had an impact on trade in Vietnam on June 24.
All indexes tumbled, with the VN-Index down 11.50 points (1.82 per cent) and the VN30-Index 13.81 points (2.59 per cent) on HSX while the HNX-Index fell 1.71 points (2 per cent) and the HNX30-Index 3.97 points (2.59 per cent) on HNX.
The UpCoM Index closed down 1.84 points (3.14 per cent).
HSX saw only 51 shares increase and 206 decrease while HNX saw 91 increase and 244 decrease.
Liquidity on both markets increased significantly, doubling the amount seen yesterday. HSX saw VND4.6 trillion ($206.03 million) change hands via order matching, or 124 per cent higher than yesterday. On HNX, VND1.32 trillion ($59.12 million) changed hands via order matching, up 143 per cent against yesterday. Total liquidity in the two markets was the highest since April 2014.
Officials from the VNDirect Securities Corporation and MB Securities both said that demand for "bottom fishing" was high throughout the day.
The VN-Index headed downwards from the beginning of the morning session and closed at 610.64 points. It followed the same trajectory early in the afternoon, bottoming out at 597.92 points before recovering to close at 620.77 points.
Losses were everywhere on HSX. BVH closed down 3.3 per cent, HPG 3.2 per cent, CTG 2.9 per cent, VCB 2.5 per cent, VNM 2.1 per cent, VIC 1.9 per cent, BID 1.7 per cent, GAS 1.6 per cent and MBB 0.7 per cent. According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Lam, Manager of Retail Research at MayBank KimEng, some shares took advantage of EUR currency exchange rates, with BCC rising 9.9 per cent, HT1 7.9 per cent and NT2 6.7 per cent.
On HNX, ACB closed at its opening price and PHP and NTP were both up 0.5 per cent, while other large caps fell. VCG closed down 4.4 per cent, PVS and VNR both 4.3 per cent, SHB 3.2 per cent, VCS 2.9 per cent and DBC 2.6 per cent.
Foreign investors net sold on both markets, by VND22 billion ($985,380) on HSX and VND25 billion ($1.11 million) on HNX. Both were nothing out of the ordinary.


Cova Villegas's voice carries the music on this album: a shameless approach to the art of cover versions, pulling off impossible renditions created at will by the band, in their own terms. This isn't a typical jazz record, it's not even a free jazz album; though created on such foundations, this creature goes beyond all this. It is a true avant-garde gem with all instruments in the right place, where all improvisations settle in, in perfect harmony.
Free Space is their third album, the first for Clamshell Records.

So now that Midas has been an indoor cat for a year now (woo!) and things are going pretty good and I have my own house, I have started to build a temporary outdoor enclosure for him and my dogs. My dogs are small, so that is pretty easy to do, and without the cat would have been done in an hour. However, with the cat, it pretty much has to be enclosed on all 6 sides. I got an inexpensive gazebo from Lowes, and have screened it with lattice on three sides, with the fourth side being the house with a sliding door. It still needs some more zip ties and concrete blocks around the base so the dogs and him can't push out, but it is nearing completion. My only concern is with the size of the lattice. I chose not to get the privacy lattice, which has much smaller holes, as that would have added at least another $100 and required cutting and tools I don't have. Can the average house cat fit through a lattice hole and will I have to screen it? My dogs are smaller than the cat and they can't go through, but cats are much better escape artists. He isn't a fat cat at all either, probably weighing between 8.5 and 10lbs. Thanks for any input and suggestions!
Wow! That sounds like a pretty nice place for your cat and dogs to be able to hang out. =; I'm not sure about the size of the lattice. I know my cats can't get through the lattice I have on the bottom of my deck. One thing you may not need to worry about, depending on where you live, but living in the country it's not so much me worrying about if they can get out but what creatures can get in. I have my front porch screened so rodents can't get in and we have the occasional garden snake passing through the yard. My cats love being on the front porch to watch the birds and squirrels.
Some of it is just for practicality. My dogs need to be able to go to the bathroom during the day once I start working, and a regular dog door into the yard won't work because Midas would just use it and then go and get into all sorts of trouble! Plus the dogs are so tiny, I do worry about predators such as large birds of prey, coyotes, and bobcats. Or people just stealing them... Though we are pretty much near the middle of the city, so I am not as worried about predators as I have been living previous places. I am really hoping that Midas just doesn't try to get out, and we can all live happily ever after for the next 6 years. Haha.
So far he hasn't been able to get out. His head can fit through, but he seems really cautious about trying to get anything else in. He did try to chew a hole wider, but the lattice took no damage. It seems like he doesn't think he can get through without making the hole bigger. I am hoping that if he doesn't manage to get out in these first few days he will just stop trying completely.
You said that his head can fit through, personally i would be worried that he could get hurt trying to pull it back out. Im not being critical, just thought you may want to consider that.
If you're really worried, try stapling some claw-proof screening over the lattice. A staple gun can be bought at any home improvement store, which might also have the claw-proof screen. If not, it can be ordered online. I have some on a screen door, and it IS claw-proof!
Well it has been a few days, and he has not managed to get out. His head definitely cannot get stuck because the way the squares are turned, but he also couldn't get his body through. It is really weird, but I think it has something to do with the flexibility of the lattice (the whole thing shakes, but each square is rigid), and him being a generally cautious cat, meaning he doesn't want to get stuck by trying a maneuver that a younger cat might try (I think there is a reason it is mostly kittens that are found in people's walls!). He has had complete access, day and night now. He spends most of the days, even when it is ridiculously hot, just sleeping out there (and he can come in and out freely). Sometimes he sleeps so deeply and comfortably I freak out because he looks dead, but he's not. I will try to figure out how to post pictures soon! Also, I actually did order some of that screen last week! Haha. I am going to re-do all of the windows so I don't have to worry about him trying to push out or mess them up. He is messing up the blinds, but they are in pretty bad shape anyway, they can't even be pulled up. Otherwise, what I have done in different houses is just pull them up and hang curtains he can walk behind. They are something we eventually want to replace anyway, so no biggie.
