Bernard Weber, Founder-President New7Wonders, wishes everyone a Wonderful New Year!
Zurich, Switzerland: Dear friends of New7Wonders, I send you my best wishes for New Year's Day. As we enter 2016, we are full of hope for the future and we want to share this message of optimism with the world.
In early May, Vigan was officially inaugurated as a New7Wonders City. Among the dignitaries attending the ceremony at St. Paul Metropolitan Cathedral were Philippines Vice President Jejomar Binay and Mayor Eva Medina of Vigan. The inauguration proved that heritage preservation and urban development can be two sides of the same coin: "In our quest to become strong competitors in the ASEAN and global economies, we cannot be too quick to tear down the old to build the new without serious deliberation and debate," said Vice President Binay.
The past year also witnessed further expansion of the "New7Wonders positive impact" phenomenon, which led to economic and social growth at all the Wonders actively promoting their status using a variety of means and media, including the Visit7Wonders platform.

The Daily Mail article "A cut above the rest: Stunning drone photographs capture the new Seven Wonders of the World like you've never seen them before" featured some truly extraordinary images and it shows how the Internet of Things is changing the way we see the world.
The viral Instagram postings by Megan Sullivan about visiting the New7Wonders of the World in 13 days after being diagnosed with skin cancer. Megan is from California and like many Hollywood adventures this one had a very happy end.
Surrounded by swirling clouds, the iconic statue of Christ The Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro strikes a perfect pose for the drone overhead as it captures this astonishing image of one of the New7Wonders of the World.
Megan Sullivan's Instagram postings about visiting the New7Wonders of the World in 13 days after being diagnosed with skin cancer went viral and attracted international attention.
The Official Inaugurations of further New7Wonders Cities, starting with La Paz in Bolivia, scheduled for April 7, and La Habana, the capital of Cuba, thereafter.
The continuation of the New7Wonders VII (Verification, Information and Improvement) audit programme, which is scheduled to review additional New7Wonders of the World in 2016, including Chichen Itza (Mexico), Machu Picchu (Peru) and Petra (Jordan).
Firstly, the launch of the official New7Wonders Brand Book early this year. A Brand Book describes the tradition and values of a brand, presents rules that explain how it works and is designed to ensure that all touch-points (brochures, advertising, social media and so on) are treated in a consistent way.
At a time when the news cycle is dominated by stories of trouble and terror, New7Wonders is an example of a positive vision that inspires global progress. We are determined to face the challenges of the New Year holding that positive belief firmly in our hearts because it is our greatest strength.
In this spirit of hope, I wish you a Wonderful New Year!

Samsung Galaxy S6 To Come Out With A Dual-Edge Display (Rumor)
12:28 pm November 9, 2014 By Hammad Saleem
It's been a few months since the company released its flagship phablet, the Galaxy Note 4, and rumors are already talking about the upcoming Galaxy S6.
According to a new report, the alleged Samsung Galaxy S6 will come with a dual-edge display, something similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge released a few months back.
The information comes from senior analyst Jerry Kang during the last IHS Display conference. Dual-edge means the device will be curved from both sides, offering a similar display as the one introduced with the Galaxy Note Edge. The analyst further mentioned that Samsung wanted to go for the dual-edge display for the Galaxy Note Edge, but the plans changed at the last moment, and it launched with curve on the right side of the display.
Previous rumors hinted that Samsung Galaxy S6 will come with a QHD display sporting a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, but the exact display size is not known yet. Galaxy S4 came with a 5-inch display while the Galaxy S5 came with a 5.1-inch. So, there's a chance we may get to see a similar display size with the Galaxy S6 as well. It's also rumored to come with a quad-core Snapdragon 810 processor.
Let's just take these with a grain of salt. It's still months away, but you never know.

Let me be the first to say it: buyer power has returned to the marketplace. After a number of years of steady price gains which have frequently left buyers chasing their chosen properties, some markets have now returned to equilibrium. The buyer once again wields considerable leverage. And sellers who remain entitled about what they "need" or "should get," especially those who treat reasonable offers with disdain, will frequently find themselves wishing they had responded with more interest when subsequent offers come in at lower numbers.
The phenomenon of negotiability in the ultra-luxury marketplace has already been well documented in the press. With properties asking above $10 million, whether co-op or condo, trades occur regularly at 10% below the asking price, especially when the unit has logged 6 months or more on the market. With 6 to 9 room apartments on the Upper East Side, we see an increase in inventory which exercises downward pressure on all the prices. Buyers have choices, for the first time in several years, and many properties, especially those with challenges in condition or location or exposure, receive few showing requests at their original prices. Although sellers are reluctant to believe it, their agent or marketing program are rarely at fault. Marketing does not actually sell properties, its goal is simply to drive attention to them. Once the buyer finds the property, the price remains the most compelling attribute for engaging his interest. If weeks are going by with few showing requests, drop the price!
A number of our recent experiences at Warburg really brought this point home to us. Several properties, with prices from the mid-$2 millions to the mid-$5 millions, lingered on the market for a considerable number of months. When reduced appropriately between 7% and 10%, each of these properties brought interest from multiple purchasers and traded at the new asking price or a bit higher. These buyers were all already in the marketplace. They were just waiting for the properties to match their sense of value before stepping in to bid on them. The critical issue when reducing a price is to clear a major price threshold. So if you are asking $10,500,000, you need to get to a number which starts with a 9. If you are asking $3,750,000, you need to get below $3,500,000. And if you are asking $999,000, you need to get below $949,000.
Demand remains strongest in Brooklyn, where most prices continue to climb, and in the lower priced Manhattan properties. There is more inventory accumulation, and therefore more price pressure, in co-op resales on the Upper East Side and Midtown; the Upper West Side, which is always short on inventory, continues to see quick trades on most units because demand outstrips supply, especially west of Central Park West. On CPW, as on Fifth, owner ambition frequently outstrips market value, resulting in properties which, although highly desirable, don't sell because buyers are waiting for the value proposition to make sense.
As a broker, I like a market in which negotiating power rests on both sides of the equation. With our help, today's smart buyers push the envelope, and today's smart sellers know when and how much to push back. It's fair, and there's value in it for everyone.

Virginia school system sues state in quest to arm teachers
Lee County Public Schools in far southwestern Virginia has filed a lawsuit challenging the state's decision to bar the system's employees from carrying firearms. (iStock)

A school system in deep southwestern Virginia has filed a lawsuit challenging the state's decision to bar the system's employees from carrying firearms.
Lee County Public Schools is asking a circuit court judge to order the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services to allow the system's superintendent to become a special conservator of the peace, a designation county officials believe would permit him to carry a gun on school property.
"We believe that we have legal grounds to provide this as an option to our staff and to provide an additional layer of security for our students," Superintendent Brian Austin said.
The lawsuit names Shannon Dion, director of the Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, and Brian Moran, state secretary of public safety and homeland security, as defendants. Dion did not respond to a message seeking comment. Moran declined to comment on pending litigation.
'If it helps, it helps': A rural Virginia school system looks to arm teachers
A spokesman for Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D) reiterated Herring's view that the county's plan is unlawful.
"Attorney General Herring has explained in an official opinion that Virginia state law does not allow for armed teachers, and for good reason," spokesman Michael Kelly said. "We will work with our client agency to respond to the suit in court."
The plan to form a volunteer cadre of armed school employees, all of whom would undergo psychological evaluation, background screenings and firearm training, was approved by Lee County's school board in July.
Schools officials said they spent more than a year developing the plan but that events — including the February shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., that resulted in 17 deaths — pushed them to implement it.
Austin submitted an application with the Department of Criminal Justice Services last year to register as a special conservator of the peace, a classification the district believed would enable it to outfit teachers and other school employees with guns.
However, the Department of Criminal Justice Services rejected Austin's application in September and, on Friday, sustained the decision after Austin appealed.
The state agency relied on an advisory opinion from Herring that differentiated between "conservators of the peace," such as judges and other state or federal employees, and "special conservators of the peace," who are appointed by a circuit court.
Back to school at one Virginia district: Teachers with guns
Conservators of the peace, Herring wrote, are allowed to carry firearms in schools but special conservators of the peace are not.
"Virginia law expressly limits who may possess firearms on school grounds for safety purposes, and the General Assembly declined to enact bills presented every year from 2013 through 2017 to extend this authority to school teachers and administrators," he wrote.
The lawsuit pits Herring's interpretation of state law against that of former attorney general Ken Cuccinelli II, who is representing Austin. He said the state is "attempting to stand in the way" of a school system making a policy choice.
"The Lee County School Board has the legal right to decide to utilize vetted, trained, armed employees to protect the children in their care," Cuccinelli said.
Austin fulfilled the requirements to become a special conservator of the peace, which meant the state "had no authority" to reject his application, the lawsuit contends.
The county, which borders Kentucky and Tennessee, has five school resource officers — law enforcement officials who are assigned to its 11 schools. Officials say the cash-strapped district, which is beset with $110 million in recommended renovations and construction, cannot afford to hire more.
The salaries of three school resource officers are covered by grants that have no guarantee of being renewed, according to the school system.
More than a dozen Lee County school employees are seeking to become special conservators of the peace, some of whom have already gone through training. The county has purchased 9mm handguns that are stored in the Lee County Sheriff's Office; they were partially paid for with school system money, Austin said.
He declined to say how many guns were purchased or how much they cost.

Survey examines value of monthly elevator-recall and exit-sign testing
ASHE seeks input from field on additional regulatory requirements
Wayne Klingelsmith, FASHE, CHFM, MBA
Elevator recall essentially removes control and access to elevators from the public and allows firefighters to take control.
Image by Getty Images
Is there value for the time hospitals spend doing monthly elevator-recall testing and monthly exit-sign inspections? Many hospitals have experienced continuous budget cuts over the past several years, making it difficult to keep up with required preventive maintenance on critical equipment. And yet, this past year, hospitals were asked to comply with additional requirements, including tests and inspections that some feel is little more than busy work.
The American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE) hopes to provoke thought regarding elevator-recall testing and exit-sign inspections in an effort to get involvement of facilities professionals in providing actual testing-data results to help influence a change to the code.
Regarding elevators, for instance, perhaps recall testing is needed only quarterly, semiannually or just annually — once an organization makes repairs after the first monthly testing round. If an organization has been making monthly elevator-recall tests for a long period of time, will the data indicate that the frequency can be reduced or might it indicate the need for even more frequent testing?
Concerning exit signs, ASHE is seeking input on the need for monthly inspection of hospital exit signs. These include signs on emergency power and in buildings occupied 24 hours a day but do not include signs with battery backup, which require a 30-second monthly test and a 90-minute annual test. The request for actual exit-sign inspection data also will consider whether the signs have standard incandescent or fluorescent lamps or long-life lamps, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs).
Elevator-recall testing
Elevator-recall testing has been required by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' ASME A17.1 and Canadian Standards Association's CSA B44 for many years. However, some health care organizations were unaware of the requirement until the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) published new K-Tags based on the 2012 edition of the Life Safety Code (LSC).
Share your experience with firefighter elevator-recall testing
Although the requirement for elevator-recall testing was also in the 2000 edition of the LSC, because it was not specifically addressed by most authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs), it was simply not a priority. Sometimes, elevator-service companies include this required testing in service-contract agreements and maintain documentation of testing in the elevator machine rooms for state elevator inspections.
Elevator recall, also known as "firefighter's service" or "firefighter emergency operations," essentially removes control and access to elevators from the public and allows firefighters to take control. The overall operation of the system is addressed in a number of standards, including ASME A17.1 and ASME A17.3 as well as the National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 13, NFPA 70, NFPA 72, NFPA 101 and many state and local building codes. It typically is enforced by both the fire department and local or state elevator inspectors.
Firefighter's service includes two basic sequences: Phase I, which is the recall action; and Phase II, which allows a firefighter to take control of the elevator cab.
Phase I is activated by either a smoke detector in an elevator lobby on any of the floors served by that elevator bank or by the fireman's key switch located near the elevator hall call in the elevator lobby of the primary and secondary floors (levels that would be utilized by the responding fire department).
Both devices cause all elevators in a bank of elevators sharing the same elevator lobby to immediately travel down to the primary floor where the elevators would stop and the doors would open. A secondary floor for fire department access is also required should a smoke detector in the primary floor's elevator lobby be in alarm. In that case, all elevators would travel down to the secondary floor where the elevators would stop and doors would open.
Phase II is manually activated inside the elevator cab with the fireman's key once Phase I has been initiated by either of the previous methods. Once the fireman's key switch in the elevator is turned on, the elevator can be operated manually by pressing and holding the "door-close" button until the door is fully closed and then pressing the number for the desired floor. Additionally, if the door-close button is released before the doors are fully closed, they will reopen. The elevator will not stop and the doors will not open on a floor where an elevator lobby smoke detector is in alarm.
The monthly test required of all organizations with elevators having firefighter's service is called a monthly elevator-recall test. However, the phrase "elevator-recall test" is somewhat of a misnomer, as the test requires activation of both Phase I (the recall portion) and Phase II (the in-cab portion) of firefighter's service.
The monthly elevator-recall test should be performed using the following steps:
Use the fireman's key at the firefighter's service hall station of either the primary or secondary floor and turn it to the "test" position.
The elevator or bank of elevators will be recalled to the floor where the test was initiated and stop with the doors open.
Remove the fireman's key from the hall station, leaving it in the test position and enter an elevator.
Insert the key in the firefighter's key switch to take manual control of the cab.
Push the door-close button until the door is fully closed and then press the number of a desired floor level. Some elevators may require the desired floor number to be pressed and held until the doors are closed.
Once the elevator travels to the selected floor, it will stop but the doors will not open until the "door-open" button is pressed and held. Once open, the elevator will remain at that floor until another floor is selected as in Step 5.
While in the elevator, it is a best practice to also test the emergency telephone in the elevator cab.
Return the elevator to the floor where the test was initiated, remove the fireman's key and use it to initiate the same operational checks for each of the other elevators in the bank of elevators.
Once the elevator or all elevators in a bank of elevators have been tested, the fireman's key again is used in the hall station to return the elevator(s) to service.
Facilities professionals should check with state or local jurisdictions as some may require a qualified or certified person to do this testing.
Exit-sign inspections
Illuminated exit signs are a code-required, fire-safety feature in all health care facilities. By design, they operate 24 hours per day and may require frequent maintenance due to the service life of their lamps. However, hospitals are staffed 24/7 and when employees are hired, they are typically trained to call the maintenance staff if they identify problems, such as lights or exit signs that are not working.
Share your experience with monthly exit-sign inspections
Even with many eyes watching for lights that are out, many hospital maintenance departments have zone- or area-maintenance programs for making routine checks on each floor to inspect for maintenance and repair issues. Hospitals are thus well-equipped to ensure that exit signs are functioning properly. On the other hand, it is common to see exit signs that are not properly illuminated in restaurants, stores or other places of business.
The requirement for a monthly inspection of exit signs comes from Chapter 7 of the LSC (NFPA 101-2012: 7.10.9), which is one of the fundamental chapters of the code and generally applies to all occupancy types. This requirement was also in previous editions of the code, including the 2000 edition, although it was not typically enforced as it is now by AHJs.
Also, because this code reference indicates that there is an alternative to the monthly inspection if the sign is equipped with a computer-based, self-test/diagnostic program, specifically for battery backup exit signs, there has been an argument that regular monthly inspections do not apply to regular electric exit signs wired to the life-safety branch of emergency power in facilities with emergency generators. However, the Joint Commission has written this monthly inspection into EC.02.05.07 EP1, requiring each individual exit sign to be inspected with written documentation (exception reporting cannot be used).
ASHE seeks fire extinguisher testing data
Although hospitals may have better programs than restaurants, stores or other places of business for ensuring visible and operational exit signs, there is no allowance for having a maintenance staff and employees in the facility at all times who can take action if exit signs are not properly illuminated. All facilities and all occupancy types with exit signs are required to make monthly inspections of their exit signs.
At the same time, many hospitals are converting to long-life, low-energy lamps to save time and energy. According to the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star website, an exit sign with incandescent lamps uses an average of 350 kilowatts (kW) per year and has a lamp service life of only 2.8 months. Exit signs with compact fluorescent lamps are somewhat better, using 140 kW per year with a lamp service life of 10.8 months. However, exit signs using LED lamps use on average only 44 kW per year and have a lamp service life of more than 10 years.
For hospitals, especially those with LED exit signs, it may be appropriate to reconsider the code requirement for a monthly inspection of each exit sign.
(As noted, this is concerned only with hospital exit signs connected to the life-safety branch of the emergency power system. It does not include monthly testing of exit signs with rechargeable batteries. Where emergency lights and exit signs with rechargeable batteries are utilized because there is no emergency generator, egress lights and exit signs must be tested monthly for 30 seconds and annually for 90 minutes according to NFPA 101.)
ASHE needs data
ASHE needs the assistance of facilities professionals who can provide the data required for considering and recommending changes to these codes.
Just as data were used several years ago to justify a change of damper inspection frequency for health care occupancies from every four years to every six years, ASHE's goal is to determine whether advocacy efforts can help to reduce the burden on busy health facilities professionals.
Organizations can provide the actual results of elevator-recall testing and exit-sign inspections at their facilities to help determine whether ASHE advocacy efforts should address a change to the frequency of elevator-recall testing and exit-sign inspections.
Unless there is a change to the code, elevator-recall testing and exit-sign inspections must continue to be accomplished and documented according to LSC, CMS and Joint Commission EC.02.03.05 EP27 and EC.02.05.07 EP1 requirements.

Substitution Ideas for Indoor Soccer
Why Do You Need Cardiovascular Endurance for Hockey?

Do You Have to Replace Players Who Foul Out of Basketball Games?
Hockey is known as a rough-and-tumble sport. It's a fast-paced, physically demanding game that requires both skill and strength and also a great deal of cardiovascular endurance. Only by being in the best physical condition can you keep up with your competitors on the ice and maximize your potential as a player.
According to research from the United States Olympic Training Center, hockey players must develop both strength and endurance to perform at their peak. The game requires you to have a combination of anaerobic and aerobic fitness in order to endure the long periods of physical activity with frequent bursts of power. If your cardio endurance is underdeveloped, you will experience accelerated glycogen depletion, elevated lactate concentrations and muscle lactic acidosis, all of which can significantly hinder your performance.
Constant Motion
Another reason hockey players need cardiovascular endurance is because of the constant motion of the game. Hockey is one sport that doesn't stop the clock for substitutions, which means that players may experience long periods of play without breaks. Plus, with goals being so infrequent, players are kept moving at a rapid pace for multiple minutes on end. If your level of cardiovascular endurance is low, you won't be able to keep up with the pace of the game.
Fewer Players
One of the ways hockey enforces penalties is by making teams play with fewer players while the offender sits in the penalty box. With fewer athletes on the ice, active players must handle more physical responsibilities until their teammate returns. Without endurance, you will not only feel tired during these "power plays," you'll also be physically unable to fulfill the demands of your position, leaving your teammates to pick up the slack.
Developing Endurance
With cardiovascular endurance being such a major factor in your performance as a hockey player, it's important that you get on a training program – preferably in the offseason -- that enhances your ability. Start out with longer-duration, low-intensity cardio sessions on stationary bikes, treadmills or elliptical machines to develop your endurance base. After three weeks of building your base, start incorporating sprints into your workouts. Once you've worked your way up to a comfortable fitness level, take your training to the ice to make final preparations for the season. Continue doing cardio sessions on regular equipment, but add sprints and conditioning drills to your on-ice workouts to give your endurance a final boost.

Lecrae is dubbed a Christian rapper, but he considers himself a rapper who happens to be Christian.
The Grammy-winning artist (his album Gravity won for best gospel album last year) is trying to avoid being boxed into one genre.
"I didn't really fit in either world," said Lecrae, 34, who's been endorsed by both Kirk Franklin and Busta Rhymes. "But it's telling to the gospel industry that there are people who crave a sound that is not traditional. To the mainstream industry, there's a voice of faith from all walks of life."
Last month, his seventh album, Anomaly, became the first title to top the Billboard 200 and Gospel Albums charts in the same week. He believes this success could help bring him closer to being embraced by both gospel and mainstream music.
He's been able to build a strong grassroots fan base with his Church Clothes mixtapes series, hosted by hip-hop producer DJ Don Cannon and featuring Bun B and B.o.B. He wants to provide thought-provoking messages of life in songs without sounding like a Bible-thumping preacher.
"That's all they know of me, so I have to reeducate with my presence," Lecrae said. "Most of my interviews are comprised of do you drink? Do you smoke? Do you cuss? It's going to be a process for me to continue to be in people's faces and educating them on what my distinction is."
Lecrae doesn't smoke and tries to refrain from using profanities. He sometimes drinks alcohol, but not a lot.
His arms are covered with tattoos. He normally wears his hats tilted to the side. And he often wears slightly sagging pants. He knew that he was viewed as too gritty in the gospel world, and he had to overcome the perception that his curse-free rhymes are too clean in hip-hop culture.
Lecrae calls himself a "family oriented" man who attends a weekly men's Bible-study meeting. He's married and has three children, and makes sure he's home twice a week while on tour.
He recently appeared on "The Tonight Show," performing alongside the show's house band, The Roots, between segments.
Lecrae also recently kicked off his 36-city tour that will conclude Nov. 21 in Atlanta. He said he was inspired by Kanye West's Yeezus tour last year.
West "had very strong messaging," Lecrae said. "He was trying to inspire and communicate with people with imagery. It was more than a concert. It was like a theatrical performance, Broadway show. Like him, I don't want to box myself in. I want to push myself to the further extent with this tour."

History and Politics of the Modern Middle East
Jordanians and Palestinians at a New Crossroad
April 18, 2012 July 31, 2012 Michael Sharnoff
Published in the Huffington Post on Apr. 18, 2012.
In the past decade, the Jordanian government has initiated a controversial policy of rescinding the citizenship of thousands of Palestinians. On April 12, Jordan announced it will also invalidate the passports of Palestinians affiliated with the Palestinian Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization. This harsh action has had little public outcry or opposition. There has been little if any threatening reaction from Palestinians and these reports have gone largely unnoticed in Western media.
Why is this relevant? The stability and territorial integrity of Jordan is also a priority for the United States, a key ally. In the 1950s and 60s, the United States supported Jordan's moderate views as a bulwark against Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser's radical Arab nationalist philosophy and supported Jordan's pro-Western orientation to counter the spread of Communism in the Middle East. Today, the U.S. continues to provide aid to the Hashemite Kingdom as a reward for establishing diplomatic relations with Israel in 1994. Tensions between Israel and Jordan have been reduced, and economic cooperation has increased.
Consequently, since 2004, Jordan has been working behind the scenes in promoting the King's moderate and tolerant vision of Islam known as the Amman Message which seeks to reduce the threat of radicalism and extremism. Moreover, with a small GDP and few natural resources, Jordan has nonetheless played an important role in accepting thousands of Iraqi and Syrian refugees.
As I have previously noted, King Abdullah's anxiety will not abate as long as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict persists. In this diplomatic deadlock and in the absence of a resolution resembling a two-state solution, Abdullah will continue taking extreme measures to distinguish Jordanian and Palestinian identities and prevent the implantation by some who advocate "al-watan al-badil" (the alternative homeland).
The King has frequently gone out of his way to assert that "Jordan is Jordan" and "Palestine is Palestine." He has also encouraged Hamas to dispel the possibility of Jordan serving as a substitute homeland.
Although Abdullah adamantly rejects the notion of Jordan becoming a new "Palestine," he might entertain the possibility of confederation with an independent Palestinian state. However, Abdullah and other Jordanian officials have not yet publicly stated that confederation could occur — but only after — and not before an independent Palestinian state is established.
There are signs Palestinians may also support this initiative. During an interview with Mohammed Dajani Daoudi, professor at al-Quds University and founder of Wasatia (moderation), a nonviolent Islamist movement which seeks peaceful coexistence with Israel, he said this process could consist of three stages: "As a first step, a State of Palestine with Arab Jerusalem as its capital should rise; while the second step would be the formation of a confederacy with Jordan." In the third and final stage, which reveals his idealism and optimism, he said: "Eventually, this confederacy may include Israel — should Israel opt for that."
This scenario provides certain positive benefits for all parties involved. For Jordanians, linkage with the West Bank would help unite families and tribes which had been interconnected until 1967. For Palestinians, confederation with a stable, moderate monarchy would greatly help overcome the power sharing deadlock between rival factions Hamas and Fatah, who currently show no indication of reconciliation. For Israelis, security guarantees could be negotiated more smoothly by Jordanian officials who already maintain diplomatic relations with the Jewish state, thereby reducing the uncertainties a future Palestine would present. For the U.S. and its allies, Jordanian-Palestinian confederation could represent a source of stability and security in the region and would no doubt receive substantial Western assistance as long as overall military and diplomatic responsibilities reside with the authorities in Amman.

Dealing with malware, ransomware -- RIT expert weighs in
WXXI News | By Randy Gorbman
WXXI News/RIT
Jonathan Weissman, Senior Lecturer, Department of Computing Security, Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences at RIT during a video chat with WXXI News on Feb. 4, 2021.
The Victor Central School District is still not quite back to normal after a computer malware attack last Saturday.
That attack on the Victor district's computer servers involved what's known as ransomware, a situation where the hackers encrypt data, trying to force the organization to pay up if they want access to the information stored on their computers.
Victor schools moved to all-virtual learning since the computer attack also affected the phone system.
Jonathan Weissman is a senior lecturer at RIT in computing security. He said this kind of ransomware attack has now become more common among larger organizations.
"Ransomware in 2020 took off in a different direction," Weissman said. "Instead of smaller targets, the ransomware artists are going for the bigger targets nowadays. Especially schools, hospitals and manufacturing related organizations."
Weissman also noted that a lot of the larger organizations have taken the right steps, by backing up their data. But, he said when that happens, the hackers will sometime try to make a different kind of threat.
"When the companies say, 'No, we're not going to pay the ransomware demand,' these ransomware artists threaten to dump the information online which leaves these companies vulnerable to lawsuits and other loss of reputation aspects," Weissman explained. "They're sort of being forced to pay even though they don't have to pay anymore."
One complicating factor, Weissman said, is that a federal law enacted last year makes it illegal to pay ransomware demands.
Weissman said that another issue is that many people are now working from home, and often the computer software or equipment you are using may not be up to snuff when it comes to blocking malware attacks. Weissman strongly recommends update operating systems and programs on your computer.
Students at the Victor Central School district in grades 4 to 12 will be virtual the rest of the week. Also, students at the early childhood school and primary school will be all-virtual on Thursday. Officials don't know yet if students in those schools will be back in the buildings on Friday. You can get up-to-date information on the district's website.

My husband Brad and I recently returned from a 12 day trip to Europe. On this particular trip, we visited three cities - Paris, Brussels and Prague. Each of these cities has its own unique culinary traditions, and we made an effort to taste some of the best and most authentic foods in each place that we visited. I will be doing separate posts on our gastronomical adventures in Prague and Brussels but I figured I'd start with Paris and some of our favorite foods that we ate while visiting that beautiful city for six days.
Crepes are one of Paris' specialties. We had several crepes while in Paris. On our first night, we visited Le Petit Josselin in Montparnasse to sample some wonderful Parisian crepes. Josselin is one of Paris' best creperies and did not dissapoint, just like my husband had enjoyed the sister creperie down the block some 10 years prior on his last visit to Paris. We both had excellent savory and dessert crepes at Josselin. Below are photos of Brad's savory salmon crepe and my caramel crepe.
Street crepes are also wonderful. I had an amazing crepe with just sugar made hot while I waited (not pictured) at the Crepe Stand at Comptoir de Relais, a delicious Paris restaurant in the trendy rive gauche neighborhood of St. Germain that we enjoyed later in our trip.
Macarons when made correctly are just about the loveliest, pretties Paris dessert in the world. I've made macarons in the past but never ever like these. We went for the very best Paris macarons we could find at the wold famous macaron-maker, Pierre Herme. We couldn't decide among all of the beautiful, colorful and delicious flavor combinations so my husband and I narrowed it down to seven (pictured at the top) and relished every bite. These were a highlight and a trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to Pierre Herme.
Lamb and veal dinners are delicious in Paris. I had a great veal with gnocchi and my husband had the delicious lamb dish pictured below at Restaurant Christine in St. Germain. For dessert at Christine, we had a Paris classic - one of the best souffles that I have ever had - a vanilla souffle with a strawberry sauce.
Now back to our full meal at Comptoir de Relais. First we had some great French wines and appetizers at the wine bar portion of the restaurant while we waited for our table. Then, at dinner, we had a delicious beef dish (a bit stew like) with noodles pictured below. Yum! On the bottom is a picture of one of the appetizers, basically a mini beef sandwich with a creme fraiche based sauce. The apple tart we had for dessert was scrumptious as well.
We had another great meal in Paris at Allard Bistro - first a delicious salad with frisee and lardons, followed by a French classic made famous by Julia Child - boeuf bourguignon. This was another amazing meal, which ended with our desserts - a raspberry tarte and another French classic - profiteroles.
I love Paris! It's a magical place and you ate some amazing things - jealously is setting in... I haven't been back for 5 years.


Marvel Studios' Netflix Show 'Daredevil' Has A Poster and Release Date!
Marvel's marketing department has been in overdrive this week.
'Daredevil' is coming to Netflix April 10th, before even 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' and the recently advertised 'Ant-Man' hit the silver screen.
No, I don't mean the 2003 film 'Daredevil' starring Ben Batfleck as the title hero. 2015's 'Daredevil' is a brand new show, officially part of the the Marvel Cinematic Universe, by Marvel Studios. Fox made the original film but let the rights slip back to Disney/Marvel, allowing the pros that brought us 'Captain America: Winter Soldier' and 'Guardians of the Galaxy' to create and execute the first of five planned Netflix shows.
'Agent Carter' may be great (the premise sure is), but I have yet to watch it (I think I'll hop on Hulu+ following this post) and haven't seen any TV ratings yet.
Though we have yet to see any real footage from Netflix's'Daredevil,' one would expect the gutsy "online network" that brought us 'House of Cards' to deliver a more cinematic product with a much higher budget than 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' The former should also feel less constrained by network television standards than the latter.
And 'Daredevil' is just the beginning of a run of MCU Netflix programming that could eclipse DC's thus far successful television efforts.
Following the 13 episode 'Daredevil' series starring Charlie Cox as Daredevil/Matt Murdock and Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpen, Marvel and Netflix will release 'AKA Jessica Jones' starring 'Breaking Bad's Krysten Ritter as the title character and Mike Colter as Luke Cage. Seeing as how the two are an item in the comics, Mike Colter will play Luke Cage in 'Aka Jessica Jones' before he gets his own show, 'Luke Cage,' next. Following that we get 'Iron Fist' which has yet to be cast, followed by an 'Avengers'-esque series called 'The Defenders' that brings all four characters together for an ensemble superhero team.
Basically, Marvel has focused their TV efforts on an MCU of Netflix's own; one that could lead to appearances of the characters on 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' which desperately needs more superheroes and even a possible team-up in 'Avengers: Infinity War,' Part 1 or 2.
Thus far, we have only seen this Frank Miller look of the costume, not the red horned costume used in 2003's 'Darvedevil' film.
This does raise the question, where and if these shows exist within 'Phase 2' or 'Phase 3.' Being a part of the MCU means they have to fall somewhere. I would guess that somewhere is 'Phase 3' as we won't see Daredevil on the big screen helping with the sadistic Ultron. But IT DOES come out before 'Age of Ultron' and 'Ant-Man,' the latter ending 'Phase 2.' Maybe some plot points do feed into either film and are a part of Phase 2?
We'll know more on April 10th when Netflix drops all 13 episodes of Marvel Studios' 'Daredevil;' the next frontier of superhero shows.

There are so many breakfast options other than toast, porridge and cereal these days. I've began changing my diet up with fruit smoothies and lemon pancakes, hopefully to get more nutrients and energy. My work days are getting longer.
What does everyone have for breakfast?
I make yummy apple, cinnamon oats with 2 dollops of yoghurt. It tastes so so good I swear I only wake up for it.
I'm trying not to eat so much toast now, but it's so good! Especially with soft butter.
Almonds and Oats are the Best.

"Do you see that right there? Do you know what that thing is?" The ultrasound tech said as she pointed at the screen.
"Um, I'm not really sure, maybe?" Actually I knew exactly what it was, but it was something I had never seen on the screen before. It had always been hamburger buns. But this, this was new. I felt my husband's grip tightening as the moments passed.
"You're having a baby boy!" She exclaimed. In that moment I knew that the "thing" on the screen was his "thing". And that things were about to change.
You see before having our son, all I knew was girls. And I loved it. Our daughters are just about as girly and whimsical as you can get. My life revolves around glitter and fashion shows, baby dolls and hair styles. The little ladies of my household are passionate and emotional, dramatic and unhinged. Sometimes I feel like the Fairy God Mother with the number of princess dresses I wash in a week's time. And when we thought about expanding our family again, if having girls was all I would ever be blessed with, I knew I would be totally fine with it.
But little did I know, my heart was waiting.
And the moment they laid him on my chest, a longing I never knew was there was born and suddenly my heart was overflowing with love for my little man child. When I heard those cries break through the operating room and looked in those eyes for the first time something was different. Something that ached so deep in my heart that could not be explained by any other word but one.
And with that one word my heart was instantly stolen and I could never imagine my life without him. And you know, it's funny… one of the things that I kept thinking in the hospital as I marveled over his beautiful little self was how much I missed him before he came. It seems strange, how can you miss someone you don't even know, right?
But I missed him all the same. And I think that's what happens when mamas meet their boys for the first time. They miss them in the past because they finally realize everything their heart had been longing for but didn't know it. And now that he's here I can't imagine a single day without him. He will hold my heart forever, and I will carry him with me always.

Amid Gaza diplomacy, bus bomb hits Tel Aviv
ARIEL DAVID,Associated Press
Nov 21, 2012 at 7:26 AM Nov 21, 2012 at 7:26 AM
TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — A bomb struck an Israeli bus near the nation's military headquarters in Tel Aviv on Wednesday, wounding 10 people and complicating major diplomatic efforts to forge a truce between Israel and Gaza's militant Hamas rulers.
The attack came as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton shuttled between Jerusalem and the West Bank to help piece together a deal to end Israel's weeklong offensive against Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip that has killed more than 130 Palestinians. Militant rocket fire into Israel has killed five Israelis. Clinton was due to travel later to Egypt, which is mediating in the crisis.
"What does it say about the future of the (truce) talks? I leave it to (the senior officials), but this doesn't add anything," Yitzhak Aharonovich, Israel's minister of internal security, told Army Radio.
The bus exploded around noon on one of the coastal city's busiest arteries, near the Tel Aviv museum, the district courthouse and across from an entrance to Israel's national defense headquarters.
The bus was completely charred, its side windows blown out and glass scattered on the asphalt. The wounded were evacuated and blood was splattered on the sidewalk.
"We suddenly heard a huge explosion and immediately knew it was a terror attack," said Nir Zano, 35. "I saw someone running in to carry out a woman who was injured."
Aharonovitch said the device was placed inside the bus by a man who then disembarked. The explosion took place while the bus was in movement, he said.
Police set up roadblocks across the city trying to apprehend the attacker.
"We strongly believe that this was a terror attack," said police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld. He said three of the 10 wounded were moderately to seriously hurt.
In Gaza, the Tel Aviv bombing was praised from mosque loudspeakers, while Hamas' television interviewed people praising the attack as a return of militants' trademark tactics.
No group claimed responsibility for the attack, but Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum welcomed it.
"We consider it a natural response to the occupation crimes and the ongoing massacres against civilians in the Gaza Strip," he told The Associated Press.
Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Silvan Shalom, who heard the explosion from his Tel Aviv office, called it "an escalation."
The cease-fire efforts come with thousands of Israeli ground troops massed on the Gaza border, awaiting a possible order to invade.
After meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem Tuesday night, Clinton conferred with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank on Wednesday morning and was due to travel later to Cairo, which is mediating in the crisis.
The two sides had seemed on the brink of a deal Tuesday following a swirl of diplomatic activity also involving U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and Egypt's President Mohammed Morsi. But sticking points could not be resolved as talks — and violence — stretched into the night.
Israeli aircraft pounded Gaza with at least 30 strikes overnight, hitting government ministries, smuggling tunnels, a banker's empty villa and a Hamas-linked media office.
Dozens of civilians are among the more than 130 Palestinians killed in a week of fighting. Four Israeli civilians and a soldier have been killed by rocket fire — a toll possibly kept down by a U.S.-funded rocket defense system that has shot down hundreds of Gaza projectiles.
The Tel Aviv bus bombed Wednesday was relatively empty during the explosion, which explains the relatively low number of casualties. The bombing was the first in the coastal city since April 2006, when a Palestinian suicide bomber killed 11 people at a sandwich stand near the city's old central bus station. A bomb left at a bus stand in Jerusalem last year killed one person.
More than 1,000 Israelis were killed during the violent Palestinian uprising in the last decade in bombings and shooting attacks. More than 5,000 Palestinians were killed as well.
Associated Press writer Ibrahim Barzak contributed to this report from Gaza City.

The Smithsonian traveling exhibit "Native Words, Native Warriors" will be on display at the Minnesota History Center, May 23 – Aug. 23. The exhibit explores American Indian soldiers who were trained as "code talkers", using their native languages to transmit secret tactical messages in World Wars I and II. Their stories are offered through graphic panels and oral histories in conjunction with the new exhibit "Minnesota's Greatest Generation: The Depression, The War, The Boom."
The code talker exhibit explores the code, battlefield experiences and shift in attitude towards the use of their native language with graphic panels and oral histories from veteran "code talkers."
On opening weekend, May 23 – 25, three days of family activities will be offered, including an Honor and Remembrance ceremony with a WWII aircraft flyover, on Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day.)
A public reception on June 23, from 5 to 8 p.m., will highlight the role of Dakota code talkers from Minnesota and will include an invocation given by a Dakota spiritual leader, an American Indian Color Guard and honor songs sung by an American Indian drum group. Following the formal program tours of the exhibit showcasing the Minnesota connection will be offered.

⚓ T4226 Change "Public Key" to "OpenPGP Certificate"
Change "Public Key" to "OpenPGP Certificate"
So, what I'm suggesting I do is I'm going to change all instances of where we'd normally use "Public Key" in normal parlance (or in reference to those blocks of text we download off the keyserver) as "OpenPGP Certificate."
I'd also like to open up the discussion for any other terminology that might be confusing, if anyone's got input or ideas.
JollyRoger created this object in space S1 Public.
I can only tell that the term "Certificate" is exactly what Kleopatra was trying to use consistently in the GUI. For Kleopatra it is also important because it tries to work with both X509 "certificates" and OpenPGP "public keys".
The problem with that is that the term OpenPGP Key is commonly used all over the internet when OpenPGP is explained. So users were even more confused.
What is the difference between an OpenPGP Key and a Certificate, What is a Public Key? What is the Private Key? Why is there a Private Key for a certificate.
So nowadays in the UI I'm trying to only use "Secret Key" (both for the secret part of X509 and OpenPGP) and otherwise just leave it.
E.g. In GpgOL i'm saying "Resolving Recipients" when I'm trying to figure out the pubkeys to use. And in Kleopatra I just use "Details" "Export" etc. instead of "Export public key" or "Export certificate".
The correct technical term is OpenPGP Public Keyblock but I better shut up on the certificate vs. Public key(block) question.
This comment was removed by JollyRoger.
Among the people I was trying to use GnuPG with, I found that many of them, even the techier types had difficulty with the terminology, especially with respect to the connotations that the term 'key' had. Most of them were confused with the concept of giving away keys, as they often associated keys with the things kept close at hand and never given out to other people because giving away a key meant giving away access.
Certificate though has a nicer connotation to it and definitely feels like it has the connotation of something to be shown off to other people and displayed on walls, which I really like.
I agree that certificate is the better term.
I just found that as it is used so rarely it is often times more confusing to users.
But given that you have attention of people reading your book you might consider a small paragraph about that problem. Maybe that would be the best.
Sure. I'll mark that to be added!

Q: How make a Comparator for alphabetics chars with an differrent order that the alphabetic order My problem is that I want to compare some character not using the alphabetic sort.
Here is my order relation : A < B < T < Q < C < D < E < F ...
How can I create a Comparator for this? Must I write all the cases like this:
if (char1.equals(char2)) {
            return 0;
        } else if (char1.equals("A")) {
            return -1;
        } else if (char1.equals("B") && char2.equals("A")) {
            return 1;
        } else if (char1.equals("T")
                && (char2.equals("B") || char2.equals("A"))) {
            return 1;
        } else if (char1.equals("Q")
                && (char2.equals("T") || char2.equals("B") || char2
                        .equals("A"))) {
            return 1;
        } else if (char1.equals("C")
                && (char2.equals("Q") || char2.equals("T")
                        || char2.equals("B") || char2.equals("A"))) {
            return 1;
        } else if (char1.equals("D")
                && (char2.equals("C") || char2.equals("Q")
                        || char2.equals("T") || char2.equals("B") || char2
                            .equals("A"))) {
            return 1;
        } else if (char1.equals("E")
                && (char2.equals("D") || char2.equals("C")
                        || char2.equals("Q") || char2.equals("T")
                        || char2.equals("B") || char2.equals("A"))) {
            return 1;
        } else if (char1.equals("F")
                && (char2.equals("E") || char2.equals("D")
                        || char2.equals("C") || char2.equals("Q")
                        || char2.equals("T") || char2.equals("B") || char2
                            .equals("A"))) {
            return 1;
        }

A: If you want to compare Strings using your custom character ordering, create a RuleBasedCollator, e.g.
String myRules = "< a, A < b, B < t, T < q, Q < c, C < d, D < e, E < f, F < g, G" +
                 "< h, H < i, I < j, J < k, K < l, L < m, M < n, N < o, O < p, P" +
                 "< r, R < s, S < u, U < v, V < w, W < x, X < y, Y < z, Z";
RuleBasedCollator myCollator = new RuleBasedCollator(myRules);

String[] test = { "a", "B", "c", "D", "q", "T", "cc", "cB", "cq", "cT" };
Arrays.sort(test, myCollator);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(test));

Output
[a, B, T, q, c, cB, cT, cq, cc, D]

A: Store the characters in the order you want in an array char[] or list (List)
Compare based on the index of the character in the list/array
list.indexOf(char1) - list.indexOf(char2);

A: There is a very easy solution:
First put your chars in a List:
char[] arrayChars= {'A','B','T', ... };
 List<Character> sortedChars= new ArrayList<Character>();
for (char c : arrayChars) { // Arrays.asList won't work
    sortedChars.add(c);
}

And then compare the indexes:
int compare(char a,char b) {
  return sortedChars.indexOf(a) - sortedChars.indexOf(b);
}

A: I'd do it like this
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Comparator;
import java.util.List;

public class Compare {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

        final List<Character> reference = new ArrayList<Character>(
              Arrays.asList(new Character[] {'A','B','T','Q','C','D','E','F'}));

        Character[] toBeSorted = {'A','B','C','D','E','F','Q','T'};

        Comparator<Character> myComparator = new Comparator<Character>() {

            public int compare(Character o1, Character o2) {
                Integer i1 = reference.indexOf(o1);
                Integer i2 = reference.indexOf(o2);
                return i1.compareTo(i2);
            }

        };

        Arrays.sort(toBeSorted, myComparator);

        System.out.println(Arrays.asList(toBeSorted));

    }

}

A: the integers (N) carry a what is called a natural order. So you simply put your stuff in a list indexed by integers, following the order you want to implement. Then when the time comes to compare 2 chars, you compare their indexes and that's it !

A: Finally, I use String but it works fine with that :
public class IndiceRepetitionComparator implements Comparator<String> {

    List<String> relationOrdre = Arrays.asList("A", "B", "T", "Q", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K",
            "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "R", "S", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z");

    @Override
    public int compare(String indiceRepetition1, String indiceRepetition2) {

        // même objet
        if (indiceRepetition1 == indiceRepetition2) {
            return 0;
        }

        if (indiceRepetition1 == null) {
            return -1;
        }

        if (indiceRepetition2 == null) {
            return -1;
        }

        return (relationOrdre.indexOf(indiceRepetition1) - relationOrdre.indexOf(indiceRepetition2) > 0) ? 1 : -1;
    }
}

Thank you for your help

Q: Why shouldn't we put business logic in services? Will we ever replace our services? I am designing a system and I have read many articles saying don't put business logic in your service code.  And only put your business logic in your domain objects.
I am not hosting my service code anywhere and it is directly accessed by my presentation layer.  In future, I might want to expose this service code via WCF IIS service.
But I don't understand why services should be light-weight?
What is the advantage of it?  When will we ever replace our services?  Please explain

A: The idea is that by having different layers in your application, it makes it reusable. For example, your Business layer may have a function to check out a book. Well you can take that function and have it be called from different layers. A Console app can call it, a service can call it, or a web page can call it.
Additionally, it is easier to test. You can trigger the method in a sample application that just calls your BLL, and you don't have to worry about having your service call it.

A: In my understanding, this is about adherence to the single responsibility principle. The general idea is that the single responsibility of your service layer should be the translation of service operations to domain operations. I.e. you write a service type which exposes a method representing a service operation with a service contract as an input. The service method translates the service operation to a domain operation, and lets the domain object(s) worry about the business rules. This way your type encapsulates the translation of service operation to domain operation and nothing else.
Note that I am assuming that 'service' code, in the articles you are referring to, refers to the service interface in a service oriented architecture.

World Victory Road (WVR) lub Sengoku Raiden Championship (SRC) – nieistniejąca już japońska organizacja promująca mieszane sztuki walki (MMA). Prezydentem Sengoku był Naoya Kinoshita. Działalność zakończyła w marcu 2011 roku z powodu problemów finansowych.

Historia
Założona w 2007 roku po bankructwie i wykupieniu przez korporację Zuffa (właściciela UFC) PRIDE FC. Pierwsza gala odbyła się 5 marca 2008 roku. Przez dwa lata funkcjonowania zorganizowano pod szyldem Sengoku dwadzieścia gal. Razem z K-1 oraz DREAM, Sengoku organizowało sylwestrowe gale na których toczono "mecze" między zawodnikami Sengoku, a DREAM.

12 marca 2011 roku japoński dyskont Don Quijote który był głównym sponsorem Sengoku zaprzestał finansowania organizacji. Nie mogąc znaleźć nowego sponsora ogłoszono zaprzestanie działalności organizacji.

Gale były transmitowane w telewizji Fuji TV, w USA na kanale HDnet oraz pay-per-view.

W Sengoku mieli okazję walczyć reprezentujący Polskę, pretendent do pasa mistrzowskiego Mamed Chalidow oraz były zawodnik PRIDE i złoty medalista olimpijski w judo Paweł Nastula.

Zasady
Organizacja korzystała z zasad PRIDE FC czyli oprócz standardowych ciosów i kopnięć można było zadawać kopnięcia w głowę gdy rywal leżał na ziemi (ang. soccer kicks), naskakiwać na głowę (ang. stomps) oraz uderzać kolanami na głowę w parterze. Walki były toczone w ringu bokserskim i trwały 3 rundy po 5 minut, a walki mistrzowskie na dystansie 5x5 minut.

Kategorie wagowe

 piórkowa (-66 kg)
 lekka (-70 kg)
