Unless you happen to be one of those weird businesses that only accepts cash, you probably deal with credit cards.
And, as you know, credit card data security is an integral part of safe shopping in modern times. Generally speaking, people aren't too happy when their credit card info gets swiped. In particular, businesses who accept or process credit cards in any way are required to make sure their files and other systems are kept secure.
Because we realize this is complicated and confusing, we've compiled this somewhat simple guide to acquaint small or medium-size business owners with the PCI DSS and how they can comply with its standards.
In September 2006, the five major credit card brands in the industry (Visa International, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB) established the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council (PCI SSC), an independent entity that oversees the continuous refinement of the PCI DSS to ensure high levels of security at every point in the transaction process.
Businesses that use credit card transactions are accountable directly to the card company and the banks which handle the money (called "acquirers"), not the council. Still, the council is an integral part for maintaining accountability, evaluating technological weaknesses and trends, and refining standards to maintain security.
Do I Have to Comply with the PCI DSS?
Any institution, business, or other entity that accepts, transmits, or stores cardholder information is required to follow the PCI DSS.
Did you catch that? If you accept credit cards, you are required to follow PCI DSS. Do you take credit cards? Then you have to comply. Got it? Good.
This applies regardless of the size or number of transactions. Each business that in some way handles cardholder data falls into one of four "levels," established by Visa.
This level is determined by how many Visa transactions are performed by the merchant (who is "Doing Business As," or DBA) in twelve months—an aggregate number that includes credit, debit, and prepaid transactions.
In those cases where a corporate entity has multiple merchants DBAs, then the total transactions of the company are evaluated, while if a corporate entity does not interact with the data on behalf of its merchants, the individual DBAs are evaluated to determine their level.
In the context of PCI DSS, a merchant is any entity that accepts payment cards bearing the logos of any of the five members of the PCI SSC (American Express, Visa, Discover, JCB, and MasterCard) as a form of payment. A merchant can also be a "service provider," which will be defined below.
So, you do accept one of the big 5 credit cards? Then this applies to you! See, we told you this was relatively simple.
Level 1—Any merchant which processes over 6 million Visa transactions per year, regardless of acceptance channel (in-person, mail, telephone, or e-Commerce), or any entity that Visa determines should be categorized as Level 1 to minimize risk to the Visa system. Level 1 = Big dog.
Level 2—Any merchant which processes 1 million to 6 million Visa transactions per year, regardless of acceptance channel. Level 2 = Medium dog.
Level 3—Any merchant which processes 20,000 to 1 million Visa e-Commerce transactions per year. Level 3 = Small dog.
Level 4—Any merchant which processes fewer than 20,000 Visa e-Commerce transactions per year, and all other merchants processing up to 1 million Visa transactions per year, regardless of acceptance channel. Level 4 = Teacup Poodle.
How Does My Business Meet PCI Standards?
In order to meet the PCI requirements, each merchant has to go through a series of steps. This section is especially applicable to small- and medium-sized business owners, so pay attention!
And yes, we admit, this section gets a little dicey. You may want to grab a cup of coffee before reading it.
Each merchant has to complete a Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) to determine what their compliance will look like. After filling out the questionnaire, some merchants have to complete, and obtain evidence of passing, a vulnerability scan with a PCI SSC Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV). Not every merchant has to do this part; only SAQ A-EP, SAQ B-IP, SAQ C, SAQ D-Merchant and SAQ D-Service Provider must comply with this step.
Let's all agree that there are way too many acronyms in that last sentence!
Next, you must complete the relevant Attestation of Compliance in its entirety (you can find it in the SAQ tool). Finally, you must submit the SAQ, evidence of a passing scan (if applicable), and the Attestation of Compliance, along with any other requested documentation, to your acquirer.
Then you assemble send a DNA sample to…oops. Sorry we got carried away a bit there.
You are still expected to comply completely with PCI DSS, even if phone calls are the only acceptance channel your business uses.
Additionally, while SSL encryption is an important step for protection against hackers, it isn't enough to be PCI compliant.
PCI DSS compliance is designed to be keep cardholders and their information safe, so the aspects of application extend very broadly. Businesses who only use one method of acceptance are still required to fully comply with PCI DSS standards, and merchants who use third-party processors are not exempt either.
If your business is rolling in cash so much so that you have multiple locations, usually you only have to validate once every year for all the locations, assuming they all use the same Tax ID.
However, you still must submit quarterly passing network scans by an ASV, if that applies to you.
Interestingly, though all companies that accept credit or debit card data are expected to comply with PCI standards, if you don't store the data (which some companies do for recurring billing purposes) this is less risky so the compliance process may be easier.
It's also important to remember that all cards with a logo of one of the five PCI SSI companies are applicable to PCI standards, not just credit cards.
Recall that some businesses are required to perform a quarterly vulnerability scan. Now would be a good time to explain what that is in more detail. An Approved Scanning Vendor, or ASV, will conduct a scan of the various networks and web applications of the IP addresses provided to them by the merchant or service provider, which will target and expose any vulnerabilities in the company's operating systems, services, and devices that hackers could use to access the merchant's private network.
Basically, the ASV will make sure Russian hackers don't break into your system, steal your credit card info, and post all your risky photos on the internet. You don't want that.
If performed by an ASV (which is the only approved vendor anyway), no software will need to be installed on your systems. Scans are required once per quarter or every 90 days, and merchants must submit compliance reports according to the timetable determined by their acquirer.
Merchants and Service Providers–Say What?
As mentioned above, some merchants are also considered service providers. This is simply an entity, other than one of the five payment brands, that is directly involved in the storing, processing, or transmission of cardholder information. It also includes any company whose services control or could impact the security of cardholder data.
A merchant falls into the service provider category if they accept payment cards for transaction purposes and if the transactions store, process, or transmit cardholder information on behalf of another merchant or a service provider.
A payment application is anything that transmits, stores, or processes cardholder information. This covers everything from swipe systems in a restaurant to the software used in your e-Commerce shopping cart—and all of it is subject to industry standards to ensure security.
This is not complicated. That credit card thing you call, "Mr. Swipey"? That's a payment application, as is the shopping cart on your website.
The Payment Application Data Security Standard (PA DSS) is maintained by the PCI SSC and exists to ensure all vendors that provide payment applications to merchants that comply with PCI DSS standards and do not preserve cardholder data.
The SCC personally administers the program which evaluates the PA DSS compliance and maintains a list of vendors which have passed inspection.
A payment gateway connects a merchant to its acquiring bank, or a processor that connects them to the card brand. They take information from a variety of sources and route it to the correct bank or processor. They can communicate with the bank or processor in a variety of ways (dial-up, web-based connection, etc.), so it's important that they are secure as well.
On another note, why are we still using dial-up for anything?
Frequently, merchants like to have the option of holding onto card information for customer ease in making repeat transactions. The safest and most hassle-free way to do this is to partner with a third-party provider which offers a credit card vault and tokenization (this means they store all customer data in an encrypted digital vault, and provide the merchant with a token that is keyed to each customer for purposes of rebilling).
This way, all cardholder data is removed from your possession, and the responsibility for its security does not fall on you, but on a third-party company that specializes in data protection and has met very high standards in order to do so.
Merchants may also choose to maintain cardholder data themselves, but the process to do so is quite rigorous and a person called a Qualified Security Assessor may have to come on-site and perform an audit to ensure you are able to meet PCI DSS standards.
Let us simplify: if you're going to keep data, you sure better keep it safe or things will go very, very bad.
PCI standards advise that only the first six or last four digits of the PAN be printed on any copy of a transaction receipt. While this technically does not prohibit the full number from being displayed, it is important to note that any laws which do legislate what may appear on a receipt are to be followed.
Standards are in place for a reason: to keep consumers safe. When a merchant chooses to not comply with PCI DSS standards, there are consequences. Most of the time, this means heavy fines—anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000 per month, charged by the payment brand to the acquiring bank, which will usually pass the cost along to the business itself.
It is very likely the bank will terminate your relationship or exorbitantly increase transaction fees. These kinds of penalties can devastate a small business. You will be given a merchant account agreement, and to avoid penalties like this it is important to follow it exactly.
Take away point: unless you like burning money for fun, you don't want this to happen. Seriously.
But What if I Don't Comply?
While PCI isn't a law, it is industry standard, and companies who refuse to cooperate with it can be subject to and responsible to absorb the costs of fines, card replacement costs, costly forensic audits, brand damage, and other consequences in the event of a breach, as determined by their acquirer.
The initial effort and cost of complying with PCI DSS will save you from the nightmare of these far more awful, complex, and devastating consequences.
In other words, you may not be thrown in jail if you don't comply, but you will still be run out of town, metaphorically speaking.
Home-based small businesses are especially vulnerable to hacking because they aren't well-protected. No, being forced to enter a password when you logon to computer does not count as "good" protection.
Hackers will often easily exploit broadband connections, and can access information through things like Internet chat and games. ControlScan, a major ASV endorsed by the PCI SSC, provides special software for home-based businesses that will allow them to identify and fix any weaknesses in their network's security.
It ends up being fairly simple to prevent security breaches, but they do still happen. But small-and medium-sized businesses have lots of recourse, including from the Department of Justice, the PCI Council, and the Electronic Transactions Association. It is the law in nearly every state and several U.S. territories to notify affected parties (such as cardholders) of company security breaches. California was the first state to do so in 2003.
Congratulations on starting your small business, and kudos for wanting to make sure your transactions are done with integrity and security. Navigating the ins and outs of compliance in the face of hackers who seem to get more sophisticated every day can seem daunting, but hopefully this guide made it a little less scary—and a little more achievable.

Since this doesn't appear to be the type that only gives one or two blows before it needs to rewind (it does say up to 2600 blows per minute), it seems like this would be a pretty good deal!
I got it for xmas, and the $10 set of metric impact sockets, I've used it already, and all I can say is WOW. Broke loose lug nuts fast and easy. Only bad thing is there is no torque setting, so it's either ON or OFF, not good if you like to tighten lug nuts with it.

thats what torque sticks are for!
got a set of them for xmas too! My Dad got tired of letting me borrow (keep) them all the time.

Q: Clarification about inflection points Quoting from wikipedia inflection point,

If the second derivative, $f''(x)$ exists at $x_0$, and $x_0$ is an inflection point for $f$, then $f''(x_0) = 0$, but this condition is not sufficient for having a point of inflection, even if derivatives of any order exist. In this case, one also needs the lowest-order (above the second) non-zero derivative to be of odd order (third, fifth, etc.). If the lowest-order non-zero derivative is of even order, the point is not a point of inflection, but an undulation point.

I want to understand if I got this right.
Suppose we have $f(x) = x^4$. Then
$$f'(x) = 4x^3 \qquad f''(x) = 12x^2 \qquad f'''(x) = 24x \qquad f''''(x) = 24$$
If I understood well, $x = 0$ is not an inflection point for $x^4$ since the lowest nonzero derivative, above the second, is the fourth-derivative, which is of even order.
If instead I had $f(x) = x^5$, then $x = 0$ would be an inflection point.
Am I correct?
Thank you. Sorry, I just wanted a naive feedback about this.

A: You are right, the function $f(x)=x^4$ is convex on $\mathbb R$, so $x=0$ is an undulation point of $f$. In contrast, the function $g(x)=x^5$ is convex on $[0,\infty)$ and concave on $(-\infty,0]$, so $x=0$ is an inflexion point of $g$.

I refuse to mail meme. It deprives everyone of the ability to look at the tags on your posts in their aggregator and just choose not to read the posts labeled "meme" and "another reason for you to f-ing hate me." Unfortunately, I still have friends that mail meme (cough, cough...Bob) and expect me to bombard family, friends, coworkers and random strangers with mail until there are so many Outlooks and Gmails flying about that it pays forward. As someone who receives what could realistically be defined as too much real email a day, I just can't bring myself to engage in that sort of tomfuckery. I post my answers to Bob's meme of four here, and I post Bob's answers as well, so he doesn't have to forward them any more (stripped of a few items so it's not personal information). Speaking of Freudian slips - Bob wrote that he watches the Weayher Channel. Awkward. I've corrected it for him.
No way were you a camp staffer for the BSA....so was I! I knew there was something I didn't like about you. J/K, we'll have to swamp stories on that sometime.
Kyle, I think under things he's looking forward to this year he should include "buying a new plunger".
Ah, but that should be on Mike's list of things to look forward to this year. I would expect he would have thrown away the plunger purchased for him last year - or at least I hope so.

Q: Variable class not changed when modify $rootscope I have two controllers:
Parent Controller
'use strict';

app.controller('CoreController', function($scope,$window,$location,$rootScope,AuthFactory) {
    var requiredLogin = true;

    $rootScope.bodyClass = '';
    $rootScope.pageTitle = '';

    $scope.Usuario = AuthFactory.user();
});

Child Controller
'use strict';

app.controller('SignController', function($scope, $controller, $stateParams,$rootScope, AuthFactory) {
    angular.extend(this, $controller('CoreController', {$scope: $scope}));

    $scope.EmailDefault = $stateParams.email;

    if(angular.isDefined($stateParams.pass)){
        $scope.SpecifyPass = $stateParams.pass;
    }else{
        $scope.SpecifyPass = true;
    }

    switch($stateParams.mode) {
        case "github":
            $rootScope.bodyClass = "dgdfg";
        break;
        case "google":
            $rootScope.bodyClass = "login_registro";
        break;
        default:
            $rootScope.bodyClass = "login_registro";
    }
});

I set class like this:
<body id="inicio" ng-class="bodyClass" data-spy="scroll" data-target=".navbar-fixed-top" data-offset="200">

But when i try to modify $rootscope the class doesnt change.
What do i do wrong?

A: Try this,
<body id="inicio" ng-class="$root.bodyClass" data-spy="scroll" data-target=".navbar-fixed-top" data-offset="200">

it might be a good idea thoughto not actually use rootscope at all.

A: I solved it adding "statechangedsucces" event to my switch statement in Child controller:
'use strict';

app.controller('SignController', function($scope, $controller, $stateParams,$rootScope, AuthFactory) {
    angular.extend(this, $controller('CoreController', {$scope: $scope}));

    $scope.EmailDefault = $stateParams.email;

    if(angular.isDefined($stateParams.pass)){
        $scope.SpecifyPass = $stateParams.pass;
    }else{
        $scope.SpecifyPass = true;
    }

    $scope.$on('$stateChangeSuccess', function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams){
        switch($stateParams.mode) {
            case "github":
                $rootScope.bodyClass = "login_github";
            break;
            case "google":
                $rootScope.bodyClass = "login_google";
            break;
            default:
                $rootScope.bodyClass = "login_registro";
        }
    });
});


I got the reversible wrap two years ago. It was very affordable, and, at the time, I wasn't even really sure how or when I would wear it. I wore it a few times in the last two years when I quickly needed to "throw something on," but this year it's become my go-to piece.
I find the neutral colors make it work with lots of outfits. I grab it when we go on our nightly family walk, out shopping, and I even wore it to work last Wednesday.
I also wore my new Adam Lippes for Target flats. They didn't have them in the store in my size when I went, but I found them online and read that they are quite big. I therefore ordered one-half size smaller than my usual size, and they fit perfectly. I love black and white and am really happy that I got the shoes as I'm always on the lookout for cute flats.
I also wore my black and white necklace that I got at Black House White Market many years ago. It's a favorite I reach for often.
Overall, I really liked the outfit, and it works well for my life as it works for teaching as well as the rest of my day. It feels really great not to change in the middle of the day!
Questions: Do you like to wear black & white? I love black and white and wear it quite often. Do you wear wraps? I now own two wraps; the one above and the one I got from Jacket Society. It's REALLY tempting to add more as there are so many great wraps out there, but I'll try to restrain myself! Have you ever bought any pieces from the Target designer collaborations? I bought several pieces from the Missoni for Target collaboration years ago; one cardigan I nearly wore to death (Andy's words!) because I loved it so much. I also bought a dress from that Missoni for Target collaboration that hung in my closet for years but which I have recently rediscovered.
Thanks, Jaymie! I'm really glad I got them.
Love your cozy wrap and your Adam Lippes for Target flats!
Thanks for linking up with My Refined Style Link Up!
Love your whole look and those flats are so cute!
Looks good on you, but you wear gorgious shoes!
What a beautiful wrap. I love the colour and the soft plaid pattern. Those shoes you added are a great touch, too!
Hi Andrea! I love that cape on you. You asked do I wear wraps. Yes and no. It's funny, but there is a particular wrap style I wear. I like it to have a "v" shape at the neckline, it stays put better. I also like ones that flow well, either a thin wool or cashmere. I have a few thick ones that I just can't seem to make work, I know- weird! I love your black and white look. Your shoes need to get together with my Adam Lippes Vest! Love your shoes, great score! As far a Target Collabs, I love them - but, I think one needs to be careful and only truly buy pieces because you love them - not just because they are a Target deal or all over Instagram. They have to work for you and your personal wardrobe!
Yes, this wrap actually has the "v"' and it stays put much better!
This is so cute! I have a couple of ponchos (ok maybe it's a wrap but looks like a poncho!) pinned and hope to get one from Stitch Fix soon! You have such great style!
Can't wait to see what you'll get in your Stitch Fix box next!
I love how you styled your wrap and your shoes are so cute!
Gorgeous black and white look! I love pieces that you can throw on and look so fab.
It was my first time participating in a link up. I hope to do it again soon!
I love this mix of prints in a monochromatic palette. Thanks for adding your stylish point of view to the My Refined Style Linkup!
Hope to be back to My Refined Style Linkup soon!
I love this wrap! Gray is one of my favorite neutrals and I like that the wrap has many shades of gray. I'm a newcomer to the wrap scene. Just bought my first one a couple of months ago and have had fun figuring out how to style it. On the topic of black and white, I am a big fan! Those shoes are really nice.
Thanks, Beth! I love the grey wrap because it's easy to wear (it has a "v" shape at the neck, so it stays in place better than other wraps). Plus, the color is so versatile. I'm glad I got the shoes; I'm always searching for cute flats!

Replace kayak with luxury 40-foot sailboat – that should give the solution of getting all of that in – but only just!
I simply can't believe you got all of that on board without them sinking! Hmmm… submarine kayak?
I like colonialist's idea. But since I prefer paddling, I'll have my hubby sail the boat with all of my gear, and I'll paddle :-) What a deal! Have a great time!
Thats what i am talkin' 'bout!!!
Actually, I was surprised that was all you had! I didn't see food or water, although for a short jaunt you wouldn't need that.
That is very true. It's a big difference to park the car and take pictures a few feet away versus lugging a backpack of camera gear, tripods, etc. along a path to somewhere not very close by.
It's amazing how much can go in a kayak or backpack and still have room.

AZT Passage 32: The Long Way Around Flagstaff
Little Elden Mountain as seen from the south. The start of Passage 32 winds around the side of this small range.
If, after finishing your travels past the San Francisco Peaks, you opt for the equestrian bypass, you'll end up behind Elden Mountain. Despite still being very much within the Flagstaff area, it feels remote and –to an extent–unexplored. How much of this is due to the snow and winter cold I went out in remains to be seen. Even if better weather brings in crowds, however, this passage has enough geological and cultural beauty to make the trip worthwhile.
Length: 13.7 miles, one way
Expected Completion Time: 1 day (if thru-hiking 20-30 miles/day), 2 or 3 days (if day hiking 4-6 miles/day)
Location: Weatherford Trailhead just above Schultz Pass Rd to just south of the Cosnino Road exit off I-40. More generally, Flagstaff.
Trail Type: Out and back
Scenery: Montane conifer forest with a little bit of grassland. The main feature are these mountains, which introduce a variety of stone.
Terrain: Easy. There's a bit of a slope toward the northern end, but otherwise the trail stays flat and smooth.
Navigation: The trail in this section is a narrow dirt track, and is, for the most part, well-signed.
As you round the side of Little Elden, the trail becomes more difficult to pick out from all the side trails in the network. I'm not sure how much of that difficulty came from things like snow or reroutes, but I found it especially useful to have my phone's GPS up and ready to check throughout the hike. The trail is still fairly well signed and many of the wrong turns I made left me close to where I needed to be. Did still make me a little nervous though.
A reroute through Picture Canyon makes for some charming signage.
The northern end of Passage 32 is off Schultz Pass road (also known as FR 420) in Flagstaff. Less than a mile after the turnoff from Fort Valley Road, the pavement ends and the road starts to move gradually uphill. Follow it for about miles until you reach the Weatherford trailhead, and then head to the southeast, following signs for the equestrian bypass.
To get to the southern end, head east on Interstate 40 just below Flagstaff and get off at Cosnino Road (Exit 207) . Two immediate right turns lead to a frontage road where there is space to pull over and park. The AZT crosses this road about half a mile in.
Maps are available on the ATA's website.
Either direction works on this trail, though I'd probably suggest heading south. (Unless you're starting in winter, when Schultz Pass is closed.) This starts you off in the middle of the action, so to speak. You'll first round the mountains and pretty soon after head into historic Picture Canyon. The southernmost parts, while enjoyable, don't have quite the same density of points of interest.
The pedestrian tunnel under Highway 89. I'm not sure why, but I find even the smallest tunnels thrilling. This passage has multiple.
Why Hike This Trail?
Much as I love Flagstaff proper, I think Passage 32 is the way to go, provided you don't need any new supplies. I was surprised both by how easy-going the trail was and by how remote it felt. For day hikers, the number of side trails leading to landmarks like Mount Elden and Picture Canyon mean many opportunities for exploration. While I clearly enjoy a longer push forward (wouldn't be doing this otherwise), I really found that I wanted to take my time on this section. It feels expansive, like there's a lot more to see.
Early evening at Elden Springs. Even in a milder winter, the trail is still covered in snow.
This area's climate is similar to most of what I've covered so far. Mostly dry with relatively mild seasons. I recently found this page, which lists which roads in the Coconino National Forest are currently open. So if, say, there was recently a big snowstorm, you can check on how that might affect your plans without heading all the way out. This is maybe more helpful for remoter sections of the trail, but it does include several along this passage, such as Schultz Pass.
Gear Suggestions
This is one of the gentler sections of trail I've encountered so far, so whatever gear you've been using will probably work. When I visited, the trail was quite muddy, with occasional patches of ice. I was glad to have worn waterproof hikers, but even standard tennis shoes would have been fine.
A view of Mount Elden and the San Francisco Peaks from FR 791, a little north of where it crosses the AZT.
Almost all of the area around this trail is explicitly signed as not permitting camping. As remote as it seems, this passage is still pretty close to Flagstaff proper. Little Elden Springs Horse Camp is closest to the trail (.3 miles away), but as the name suggests, it is intended only for equestrians. Heading a few miles north on 89 gets you to the Cinder Hills OHV area and Sunset Crater National Monument, which both have campgrounds. There's also a KOA nearby.
Though you can't use it as a water source, the Rio de Flag feels very much like a respite from the AZT's overall dryness.
This section is shorter, and mostly taken up by two larger features. They're both quite good, though, so I'm not complaining. Before we talk about those, I'd like to quickly mention the variety of trail materials (I guess that's what it's called) found along this stretch. There's the standard red or brown dirt, and this dark gravel that I'm fairly sure is volcanic in origin. There are also a couple of lighter, almost sandy bits, which are always a joy to walk through, even if it's cold and you have to keep your shoes on. A geologist could tell you more of course. I'm just here to say that it's exciting and builds momentum and almost certainly says something interesting about the landscape that I don't know how to read.
Now, let's talk about those landmarks.
Mount Elden
The northern end of this trail takes you around the back of the Dry Lake Hills and the Mountains Elden. You'll pass Little Elden Mountain most closely, but if you're interested in seeing more, the AZT is part of a network of trails that go throughout both mountains. They're volcanic in nature, which explains the unique patterns of rock along especially the south of Mount Elden. Taking almost any of the trails along this system will give you a closer look at these formations. If you have a little extra time, I'd recommend Fatman's Loop, which was my introduction to the area.
Picture Canyon Natural and Cultural Preserve
Notable for Northern Sinaguan petroglyphs and other archeological finds, this natural and cultural preserve has a number of side trails and educational exhibits. From the little research I've been able to do, the Sinagua lived in the area from roughly 1150-1250 CE and left a number of things in the area around Flagstaff. Further north are Sunset Crater and Wupatki National Monuments. Passage 31 of the AZT takes its name from Walnut Canyon (I'll almost certainly talk more about this next time). In Picture Canyon, taking a short detour on connecting trails leads to views of petroglyphs and the remains of Northern Sinaguan structures.
Picture Canyon was only recently restored to a natural and cultural site (the site was purchased in 2012). If you have the time, I'd suggest exploring some of the other trails in the preserve. While the AZT travels pretty directly through, it misses many of Picture Canyon's points of interest.
The preserve's website links to a number of interesting resources and guides you can use to explore the site.
While, depending on the weather, some water can be found along the trail, you'll probably be better off bringing your own.
There aren't any reliable water sources since the Rio de Flag is non-potable. However, this section is still near enough to central Flagstaff that getting to a gas station or grocery store would be a reasonable detour.
Resupply Options
As mentioned above, this section is still pretty close to some Flagstaff stores. Heading south from the Sandy Seep trailhead is probably the easiest access. I haven't checked, but there's probably a trail that runs parallel to Hwy 89.
The AZT spends a few miles running along area hillsides as it leaves Little Elden Mountain.
The gentle terrain and clear views of history make this a trail I'm likely to return to. As I mentioned before, it really does feel like I could spend a lot more time here, both learning and exploring. If anything I've mentioned sounds interesting, please take the time to look into it more yourself. There are so many little pieces that I couldn't include. This may make the hiking seem like an afterthought, but it genuinely is also quite good.
Thanks for reading! I'll be back in two weeks with Passage 31: Walnut Canyon.

NASA Satellites: more than 600 Fires in Russia!
NASA satellites Terra and Aqua have fixed more than 600 hotspots from wildfires within Russian territory, according to the ScanEx website where information from the satellites are sent.
The Aqua satellite, equipped with an atmospheric infrared sounder, and Terra, equipped with a thermal emission and reflection radiometer, have identified 636 forest fires in Russia.
On the ground Russian fire fighters, Russian volunteers, Russian citizens and Russian military personnel are fighting the enormous amount of fires (600+) in more than 100 different area"s. The fire fighting units of the Russian Navy are also "looking out" and have been put on alert, read this.
Russian organizations, Russian Prime Minister Putin, Russia"s President Medvedev and loads of other organizations and loads of people, more or less inpanic and in "political react" now more or less "turn to" this new Russian disaster via television and other media, this while they all could have seen this coming.
"It has grown into a bad tradition for Russian authorities to panic at winter cold and summer heatwave alike. Both weather extremes provoke natural disasters: winters destroy water supply systems and leave buildings and whole neighborhoods to freeze without heating, while summers unfailingly bring peat bog fires.
This summer Russia has been hit by a record heatwave, and wildfires are raging worse than ever, destroying homes and causing deaths and injuries. The government is taking emergency relief actions; First Deputy Prime Minister Viktor Zubkov even proposed closing off the forests to prevent more ignition sources. However, analysts believe that some necessary precautions and advance preparations could have reduced the dramatic impact to a large extent.
Firefighting reports sound more like news from the combat zone. Wildfires have spread across the country engulfing 128,000 hectares of land, killing 34 and leaving 2,210 people homeless, according to a recent Emergencies Ministry report. Two federal ministries - the Emergencies Ministry and the Defense Ministry - are responsible for fighting the wildfires, and their resources include 180 emergencies experts and 4,000 servicemen, 200 special vehicles, and 14 airplanes and helicopters."

The first building they rented was the historic one room schoolhouse on Route 741. After a few years, the small congregation moved to the Grange Hall on Mason-Montgomery Road. In 1985, the congregation invited Jerry Pelfrey to become their Pastor. In 1987, they moved into the old Mason Middle School until 1989 when they held their first service on their own property on Mason Road. Jerry remains as the Lead Pastor and is joined by fellow pastors, Jeff Helsop, Kyle Linville, and Phil Blodgett.

Activision May Have Fixed the COD Warzone Cheat Problem
Mike Sanders / 8 months ago
Available on a 'free' platform, Call of Duty Warzone has quickly gained a lot of popularity among gamers. This did, however, create a very big problem very quickly. Namely, that cheaters started infesting the game.
Nothing unusual there, right? Well, with the game being free, users who were banned could simply just make a new account to get back into the game and start cheating again! In a nutshell, while Activision was trying, the systems in place were just not working!
Well, following a post by Reddit user 'aurOn' we have some potentially excellent news! What is it? Well, it seems that Activision's latest measure to combat this problem might actually be having a really positive effect!
Warzone Cheaters – Activision Starts Winning the War!
Earlier this week, Activision introduced a new measure that required SMS authentication for any new Warzone account created. In other words, when you now set up a 'free' account to play the game, you have to get a code through your mobile device to activate it!
This, clearly, has provided cheaters with a big problem. Namely, that when they get banned, it isn't merely associated with the account, but also the phone number of the device that received the initial SMS activation. It's a move that already has confirmed cheaters agreeing that it works!
Shadowbans With No Workarounds!
With this new system in place, when cheaters are put on the 'shadowban' list there is literally no workaround beyond actually getting a new telephone number. Put simply, they can't just make a new free account as they need a whole new phone number to activate it on!
Even if they did do that, however, that account (and by proxy phone number) will also be banned if they carried on cheating! Put simply, while it isn't perfect in removing cheaters instantly, this is without a doubt the smartest move Activision has made to date to solve this problem!
While it has been easy for cheaters to simply make new accounts, they can't just obtain free phone numbers! – So, kudos to Activision, you might just have solved the vast majority of this problem on at least a mid to long-term scale!
What do you think? – Let us know in the comments!

Pieces of planes are incorporated into the terminal; parts of a tail and wing of a Gulfstream jet have been transformed into an art piece that greets passengers as they enter the airport, and the information desk is made out of a part of a Boeing 747 jet.
The 56,000-square-foot terminal, which has been under construction since 2015, is almost 45,000 square feet larger than the existing terminal at the airport, according to a news release.
The expanded security checkpoint area will include a full-body scanner, in addition to a walk-through magnetometer scanner, so passengers won't have to endure physical pat-downs if one machine goes down. The checkpoint will also be open all the time, according to Airport Director Kevin Bumen. Currently, the security checkpoint at the airport is only open before a bank of flights is scheduled to leave.
After security, passengers walk through an open-air courtyard, which includes a pet relief area.
Then, passengers go into a light-filled gate area, which includes a concession stand that will serve coffee, beer, wine and a full bar, in addition to food, Bumen said.
Bumen said that the airport has seen the passenger load triple since the airport added flights to Seattle and Denver earlier this year, and that growth is driven by the planes having more seats to fill. The new terminal can handle about 1.2 million passengers per year, according to Bumen, though he emphasized that that figure is a "soft number" and the terminal could accommodate more.
Bumen said the airport currently expects to see about a half-million total passengers over the next year.
The building, which cost $39.5 million, will open for incoming flights on the evening of Nov. 1, according to a news release. Departing passengers will start using the check-in lobby, security checkpoint and gates on the morning of Thursday, Nov. 2.

with it. After a while the same process begins in a new bubble.
The title of the work refers to the famous Vera Lynn song. The song is one of the most famous songs of the Second World War era and resonated with soldiers going off to fight and their families and sweethearts. The assertion that "we'll meet again" is optimistic, as many soldiers did not survive to see their loved ones again. Indeed, the meeting place at some unspecified time in the future would have been seen by many who lost loved ones to be heaven.

Lowe's says inventory in better position in months amid supply-chain snafu
Posted By: 3da0ssnet
Lowe's Cos Inc (LOW.N) said on Thursday it was bringing holiday products into its stores and warehouses earlier than originally planned, as supply chain bottlenecks threaten to leave U.S. stores with empty shelves during the holiday season.
Lowe's Chief Financial Officer David Denton, however, said the home-improvement chain was in a better position today than it was six to 12 months ago, with respect to its inventory position and supply chain.
"We're actually getting better, not worse," Denton said at a Goldman Sachs Annual Global Retailing Conference. "Lowe's is positioned better than most, if not everybody else in the marketplace."
Macy's Inc (M.N) said earlier at the Goldman Sachs conference it was very carefully watching its supply chain issues, particularly in the apparel and shoes categories.
Lowe's said it has placed bigger orders for high-demand items with its suppliers to make sure it gets those products in its stores.
A dozen U.S. and European suppliers and retailers Reuters had surveyed expected weeks-long delays in holiday inventory due to shipping issues.

Q: If an electron has 0 electric potential after passing through a resistor, how does it flow to the other terminal If an electrical circuit only contains 1 resistor, and electron's potential difference (voltage) before and after passing through a resistor is equal to the e.m.f, how does the electron have potential energy after passing through the resistor to flow to the positive terminal of the battery?

A: Firstly, remember that the current is a migration of electrons jostling and pushing each other in the general direction of the positive terminal rather than each electron shooting along the wire from negative to positive. Pushing an electron in at one end of the wire pushes one out the other end. This happens close to the speed of light even though the individual electrons are moving much, much slower than that.
Secondly, remember that the potential difference causes current to flow. Let's use another dodgy water analogy.

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
Figure 1. Yet another water analogy.
Figure 1 shows a water tank with a down-pipe of resistance R1, a horizontal pipe which is relatively wide bore and has no resistance and another down-pipe of resistance R2. Water flows in the circuit due to the pressure difference between the top of the tank and the outlet (at the bottom of R2).
Question: There is no height difference (potential difference) across the horizontal pipe so how can the water have the energy to flow from left to right?
By now the answer should be fairly obvious. It's getting pushed by the potential difference in other parts of the circuit.
In the electrical circuit of your question the electrons can't all just pile up at the end of the resistor they have to continue to return to the battery. If they didn't the battery would get out of balance and refuse to supply any more out the other end.
I hope this helps.

Comment:

However if a circuit only has 1 resistor, electrons which pass through the resistor is not in between 2 points of different resistance. The electrons and the battery have no potential difference between them any more after passing through the resistor. So why will the electrons flow?

simulate this circuit
Figure 2. A single resistor water analogy.
Again, pushing the dodgy water analogy a bit further, we have two horizontal big pipes and one vertical small pipe, R1. We all know that the tank will drain despite the horizontal sections. What's driving the current is the potential difference between the top of the tank (battery +) and the open end of the pipe (battery -).
Keep asking questions if it's not clear. You are close to understanding but judging by your other question, Electric potential in a cicuit, you've got static and current slightly jumbled in your thinking.

A: In the theoretical world, wires have zero resistance - in other words they are perfect superconductors.  It requires zero potential to push an electron along a conductor of zero resistance.
In the real world, all wires have a small resistance.  That means there isn't just one resistor in the circuit, but several in series - one big one and several small ones.


Many people attend church for the excellent music they hear. The Psalmist said that was a valid part of worship when he wrote, "Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet! Praise him with the harp and lyre!" (Psalm 150:3).
But we must be careful not to come to church merely for what we get out of it. Someone said, "The pastor may be as dry as chalk, the worship leaders may sound like a rusty hinge, the organ may have a case of asthma, and there may be a sanctimonious hypocrite in every pew. This is beside the point. We attend church not merely to receive; we come to give" (Love Carved in Stone, pp. 64-65).
Well said. The real music of worship comes from our hearts, not from manufactured instruments. Still, those who play the instruments here do a good job of tuning our hearts to sing our Lord's praises.
So let's sing notes of love and praise from the bottom of our hearts as we worship Jesus today.
Pastor Tom is the Senior Pastor at First Baptist Church of Dinuba. He has been serving here for over 30 years.
Pastor Tom's sermon from May 27, Don't Forget About God from 1 Samuel 27 is now in booklet form. Free copies can be picked up on the table in our lobby.

Christopher Davis's Privacy and Free Software Blog
Here I discuss all things regarding privacy, free software, and staying safe on the internet
#replacefacebook
Over the past week or so, Facebook has gotten into a lot of trouble. #deletefacebook has been trending, riding on the back of John Biggs' scathing article of the same title. People finally seem ready to jump ship from Facebook, after years of privacy advocates telling them they should. It has been wonderful to think about the prospect of every abused user (or as Richard Stallman would say, useds) abandoning Facebook and living a better life for it, that might not be reality. Facebook, for all its faults, has become something of a resource. People use Facebook and Facebook products, like WhatsApp and Instagram, every day.
Facebook itself is powerful in that it helps you keep in touch with the people you care for in an integrated way. That may not be worth the numerous privacy violations. These violations include:
Keeping "shadow profiles" on users:
Who has a shadow profile? Are they real?
Well, potentially everyone who has a Facebook account. They contain a certain amount of information you're not surprised Facebook knows about you—your name, your interests, your relationship status, how many times you've liked your friends posts. But at the same time, Facebook's been able to smartly collect other data about you. Even if you've never told Facebook your phone number, for instance, it might have it. As well as your second and third and fourth email addresses.
Max Schrems, owner of Europe vs. Facebook and privacy rights advocate, launched a complaint against Facebook's European offices, headquartered in Ireland, citing seven different instances where shadow profiles potentially violate the country's Data Protection Act (read the PDF here). Schrems asserts that the profiles gathered "excessive amounts of information about data subjects without notice or consent by the data subject. In many cases these information might be embarrassing or intimidating for the data subject."
Logging text messages and calls from your phone:
As users continue to delete their Facebook accounts in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, a number are discovering that the social network holds far more data about them than they expected, including complete logs of incoming and outgoing calls and SMS messages.
Policy requiring users to provide a real name
"VPN" app that logged all connections:
VPNs work by forcing your laptop or mobile device to establish a connection to a third-party server before then connecting you to any websites or online services. Using an encrypted tunnel, a VPN can prevent your broadband or wireless provider (AT&T, Comcast, et al) from keeping track of the websites you visit. What's hore, a VPN service can mask your own IP address from those websites, helping you to traverse the net without surrendering locational data. [...] Facebook, however, purchased Onavo from an Israeli firm in 2013 for an entirely different reason, as described in a Wall Street Journal report last summer. The company is actually collecting and analyzing the data of Onavo users. Doing so allows Facebook to monitor the online habits of people outside their use of the Facebook app itself. For instance, this gave the company insight into Snapchat's dwindling user base, even before the company announced a period of diminished growth last year.
In addition to all of these violations, the revelations about Cambridge Analytica's abuse and the 2016 elections has people eager to flee from the scourge that is Facebook. People have been fleeing to different platforms, like Mastodon, where users have more control. Mastodon, however, is a microbloggig platform more akin to Twitter. The community is wonderful and the platform is one of the most mature of its kind, but it's not what I imagine most Facebook users would look for. With that in mind, what can one do to replace Facebook?
The reality is that people will not leave Facebook unless they can find a way to replace its function. This brings up the question: what exactly is Facebook's fucntion? Originally, this post was intended to be a list of all the platforms that functionally can replace Facebook. In trying them though, I have found that all of them lack something that Facebook had going for it. Certain aspects might be great, but as a whole the platform felt inadequate. Eventually I figured it out. It's not just one magic element that Facebook had, but three core components:
The community section refers to Facebook's ability to bring communities together. This can revolve around a group chat, a group wall, a public figure or company's page, or events. Messaging refers to the integration of Messenger with Facebook's community and the seamlessness of picking up a device and talking to your friends. Lastly, the most critical component, is discovery. Facebook users can quickly find things that interest them or interesting people. They can find content that they love, that they can then quickly share with their friends.
None of the platforms I've tried incorporate all three.
What Can We Do Now?
As stated above, the platforms I've tried are not functionally equal to Facebook. The good thing is, none of them are terrible. In the interim between leaving Facebook and replacing it, we can go to places that all have at least one thing in common: they aren't data vampires. For those who don't know the disciplines required to help replace Facebook, you have the important role of spreading the word. Unlike major platforms like Facebook and Twitter that sell your data to fund their reach, these platforms are community-run, so they need to be community-spread. Now, on to what these platforms actually are:
Movim
Friendica
The common theme between these platforms is that they are federated. As this excellent article from the EFF explains, this means that people can run and join instances of the platform software and freely communicate with people from other instances of the platform. Some of these platforms can even communicate with the others.
The ability to federate is a key part of how we as users, developers, and _people with agency _can prevent abuse like Facebook's from happening again. We are not locked in to one instance's rules. We are not subject to the whims of those who only want to use us for profit. Instead, we have the power to completely own our data.
Another key that gives us control over corporations that want to abuse us is the power of free software --- and not just free like beer. The definition that I'm referencing is that of the Free Software Foundation and the GNU Project:
A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:
The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
Free software is the best weapon we have against invasions of our privacy. Can you imagine what would have happened to Facebook if someone could pop up a copy the moment the company did something shady? Free software gives users recourse when they need it most.
Any platform meant to replace Facebook needs to be free and federated, lest its users fall into the same traps.
How Do We Actually Replace Facebook?
Replacing the critical components of Facebook is a mountainous task. Like climbing a mountain it's doable, but it takes hard work and careful planning. As discussed above, freedom and federation are both required to avoid creating a Facebook-like monstrosity. This hypothetical replacement also needs be driven purely by community interest. Knowing the above, a fully operational replacment will likely come in one of two ways:
An extension of one or more of the platforms
Something entirely new
How we as a community should go about this is up to us. In order to have some semi-centralized places for discussion, I've made set up communities on free platforms for us to organize, discuss, and implement the tools that will take down Facebook for good.

Jiji () or Chichi is an urban township located in the west central portion of Nantou County, Taiwan. Jiji is the smallest of Taiwan's townships by area.

The township is a popular destination on the Jiji Railway Line. In March 2012, it was named one of the Top 10 Small Tourist Towns by the Tourism Bureau of Taiwan.

History
Han Chinese from Zhangzhou began arriving in the area in 1771. The name originates from "Chiv-Chiv", a phrase in the Formosan languages.

During the Japanese era (1895–1945), Jiji was a collection and shipping export point for camphor produced in the surrounding areas. By 1940, it was administrated as Shūshū Town (集集街), Niitaka District (新高郡), Taichū Prefecture (now Taichung.) Jiji township then encompassed a much larger area that included the present-day Shuili Township.

In 1946, Niitaka District was renamed Yushan District (玉山區), Taichung County, and Jiji contemporaneously became a township. In 1950, Shuili Township was separated from Jiji. During World War II, a U.S. bomber was shot down by Japanese artillery, killing four airmen.

The township was the epicenter of the eponymous and devastating 1999 Chi-Chi earthquake.

Demographics

As of February 2023, Jiji was home to a total population of 10,056, including 5,745 males and 5,290 females. Historically, the population peaked at 16,395 in 1970, and has fallen steadily since then. By contrast, the number of households grew from 2,772 in 1970 to a high of 4,376 in 2014, falling slightly to 4,308 by 2016.

Geography

Jiji is bordered by Zhongliao to the north, Mingjian to the west, Zhushan and Lugu to the south, and Shuili to the east. The Zhuoshui River flows westward along the south border of the township.  Jiji Township has a total area of 49.72 square kilometers. The lowest point in the township is 230 m above sea level and its highest point is Big Jiji Mountain (集集大山) at 1392 m above sea level.

Welcome Tamico, I am pleased to see a new sponsor. I have used Tamico for a number of years, on more occasions than I dare tell the wife. I have used them for small specific part orders, as well large kit orders. Packing and delivery times have always been excellent, and they are part of my daily list of 'goto sites', especially on a Monday when there is a new offer off the week!
You can get some of the parts from an Egress rerelease which are correct. 9804552 Bushing Base, 9805385 Rubber bushing The long brass damper mounts are a little more difficult to locate. The ones included in a few models are the short mounts 3455176 but you are after the long ones. You could just use the short mount plus a spacer. I just checked my hardware cabinet and I have loads of short mounts but could only find one long. So not sure what model they came from. Perhaps they came with the Hi Caps 53036 and 53037.
