Q: How do I make my laptop act as an NTP server in LAN without connecting to the internet? I need to set my laptop as an NTP server within my own local area network.
From what I notice, I am able to sync the client to my NTP server in a local area network ONLY when
a.) There is an internet connection.
b.) When I tried to connect to another LAN without internet access, I still managed to sync the computer.

There are two LANs that I connected to:
1.) 192.168.1.x subnet with internet
2.) 192.168.2.x subnet without internet

Here is the server. As you can see, when I tried restarting the service when I am connected to the LAN without the internet, I failed to sync with the client.

See, I failed to sync. However, if I am connected to the internet, all is well. How can I setup the NTP server such that even though I do not have any internet connection, my laptop can still act as an NTP server that my clients in the LAN will be able to sync to??

I also included here what my /etc/ntp.conf as it may provide information about where I lack.
# /etc/ntp.conf, configuration for ntpd; see ntp.conf(5) for help

driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift

A: I stumbled with a fix. :-)

And comment out all other servers. :-)
P.S. I'm not sure about the iburst. I guess it can also be not included.

According to a study by Robert Half, at least in two in five (44%) workers would quit their job for a bigger paycheck. This held slightly stronger for women, where 47% of women would resign if offered more money elsewhere, compared to 40% percent of men.
The results have been announced in a US-based survey of 2,800 employed workers 18 years of age, as well as more than 300 HR managers with 20 or more employees.
In a survey of solely HR managers, 83% said the way someone quits affects their future career opportunities while only 16% said that it has no affect at all.

2020 TCA Awards Betting Odds on the Frontrunners
News >2020 TCA Awards Betting Odds on the Frontrunners
By: Anas
HBO's Watchmen leads in four categories
Netflix's Unbelievable is based on true events
Other notable nominees are Mrs. America, Better Call Saul, and Succession

The shortlist for the 36th annual TCA awards has been announced recently. But, who are the frontrunners, and who is the favorite for the Program of the Year? As per 2020 TCA awards betting odds, it is almost a two-horse race between HBO's "Watchmen" and Netflix's "Unbelievable".
Television Critics Association (TCA) will be announcing its winners in eleven categories sometime later this summer. The aim is to honor the very best series, actors, creators, and stars of the 2019-2020 season. As online sportsbook news sites in Canada have reported, a committee of 200 professional TV critics and journalists will determine the winners.
For this year there are many groundbreaking series with fresh perspectives. But, the ones among the top contenders have strong socio-political themes. Besides, women seem to be fairly supported by the TCA nominations this year, with 10 out of 13 acting nominations going to women.
The two series with very compelling stories HBO's "Watchmen" and Netflix's "Unbelievable" have received four nominations apiece. One of the two will likely win the biggest prize, the Program of the Year award. However, there are also several other strong contenders at 2020 TCA awards betting odds that might get some recognition.
Whenever a topic about the best science fiction TV show discussing social justice in the United States is raised, HBO's Watchmen will be brought up. It premiered in October 2019, with a length of nine episodes. The story is inspired by the Alan Moore comic books, and it takes place 34 years after the events of the comics. The main issue presented in the series is about systematic violence and institutional racism.
No surprise that HBO's Watchmen with a strong message received four nominations. At 2020 TCA awards betting odds, Watchmen series is the second favorite to win the Program of the Year award with a value of 3. It is also the top favorite to win the Outstanding New Program Award (1.75) and Outstanding Achievement in Movie or Miniseries (2) at 22BET Sportsbook. What is more, Regina King (Angela Abar) is among the frontrunners for Individual Achievement Drama.
Watchmen is the most potential shoo-in – Image source: Flickr
The other great series to watch released on Netflix in 2019 is "Unbelievable". It is an adaptation of a Pulitzer Prise-winning story published in 2015 untitled "An Unbelievable Story of Rape". The true events of a series of rapes took place in Washington and Colorado. What was influential about the published story and the series is how a rape survivor deeply suffered from the criminal justice system in the US.
Unbelievable is the third favorite for the Program of the Year award with 4 odds. It is the second favorite for Outstanding Achievement in Movie and Miniseries with a value of 2.75. Besides, Kaitlyn Dever (Marie Adler) and Meritt Wever (Det. Karen Duvall) have a strong chance for Individual Achievement in Drama.
Other notable nominees
A few other series will likely receive awards as per online sportsbooks in Canada. On top is Mrs. America produced by FX. It is starring Cate Blanchett and focuses on the women's movement of the 1970s. The nine-part series premiered in April 2020, fares very well at 2020 TCA awards betting odds. It has a value of 7.5 for the Program of the Year and 6.5 for Outstanding Achievement in Movie and Miniseries.
Among other strong contenders is the darkly comic media dynasty drama "Succession" with 1.57 odds to win Outstanding Achievement in Drama award. AMC's Better Call Saul that stretches through five seasons has a value of 10 for the Program of the Year. Whereas, Pop TV's Schitt's Creek leads for Outstanding Achievement in Comedy with 1.736 odds.

After the horrors that befell him in his London flat, Jamie Knight fled the country and the long-reaching grasp of Lucy Newton. Now in Australia, Jamie is trying to piece his life back together. After running into an acquaintance and sparking a renewed interest in all things Lucy Newton, Jamie receives a message on a fan page from a distressed woman, someone who seems to be suffering the same plight as he did. Might Lucy be back at it, now that her charges have been dismissed? Jamie takes the plunge and travels back to the UK, seeking to help Anita with her neighbour issue, while also trying to reconnect with his former partner, Kirsty. Jamie can only hope that Kirsty has forgiven him for all the horrors they went through at the hands of that wretch, Lucy. After arriving and trying to help Anita coax Lucy out of her safe cocoon, Jamie realises that this will be just as difficult the second time around. Armed with new ideas and a stronger intuition, Jamie forges ahead, but Lucy Newton is not one to be messed with lightly. She is hungry for revenge, and Jamie is the ideal target. Edwards jams so much into this short story that the reader will barely have time to breathe. A sensational piece that will sate fans of The Magpies, while leaving them wondering.
Edwards has done it again, piquing the interest of his readers with this stellar piece of writing. I flipped back and confirmed that the first in this series (if one can call it that) was my first attempt at reading Mark Edwards. I loved it then and continue to enjoy the intricacies that are found within the story and narrative. While a shorter piece, Edwards is still able to imbue his characters with some wonderful attributes, especially as Jamie is saddled by the guilt of the original Lucy Newton debacle. Jamie is also seen to be that eternal superhero, helping both Anita and working to build on his past relationship with Kirsty, for what it's worth. Lucy is, as many Edwards fans remember her, a wicked woman whose constant plotting and conniving had be seen with everything she does. The story earns some of its eerie nature as the renewed Jamie-Lucy clash is presented, though adding the likes of Anita into the mix only thickens the plot more. The story might be brief, but there is much to enjoy within the fourteen chapters, as the narrative forges onward through to a climactic ending. In true Edwards fashion, there is a dangling thread and fans can only hope that it is not forgotten or left blowing around for another five years. Those readers interested in this piece are encouraged to try The Magpies for the full effect. I became a quick fan of Mark Edwards by doing so and am sure many readers will follow in my footsteps.
Kudos, Mr. Edwards, for another brilliant piece. I cannot wait for your next novel and anything else you may have in the works!

This is a short story, a sequel to this author's debut novel, THE MAGPIES. The title is well deserved as magpies are known for destroying nests of other birds.
And Lucy Newton, also known as Dark Angel, could certainly be considered a human magpie. Lucy spent some time in prison before being released on appeal. Her partner, Chris, was killed in a fire started by Jamie Knight.

Lucy and Chris were two psychopaths who never should have met. They fed off of each other and was responsible for a lot of murder and mayhem. They liked nothing better than being known as the Neighbors From Hell. They tormented people for the sheer pleasure of annihilating them and their lives.
Jamie Knight lost his wife and unborn child because they were unlucky enough to live next door to Lucy and Chris. It's been 5 years and he still harbors a deep hatred of the people who caused his loss.
Today he has received a text from a woman who is sure that Lucy is her next door neighbor. She reports that strange things ... awful things ... have been happening and she winds up asking Jamie to please come help.
Revenge is sweet but paybacks are hell. And Jamie is about to find that out all by himself.
Not having read THE MAGPIES, I have no frame of reference for the on-going character of Lucy. From this short sequel, Lucy is a violent, dangerous person. Jamie is a man who was cheated out of his life by this vicious woman and is hellbent on revenge.
This was an okay read, but the ending is somewhat of a cliff hanger. I didn't find it terribly suspenseful, but it was an entertaining read.

The Magpies is a psychological thriller by Mark Edwards, giving new meaning to the phrase, "Neighbors from Hell". First, I liked the title choice, as magpies are birds known for destroying the nests of other birds. And so, begins a nightmarish tale, where a young couple's life is tested to the extremes...to force them out of their home. This book had me sitting on the edge of the seat, flipping the pages, with apprehension, to see what would happen next. Very creepy!
Jamie and Kirsty, a young couple, are excited about buying their first home, a new life, a plan to get married and have a family.
Lucy and Chris, the "Neighbors from Hell" live in the Garden Flat/Basement. Jamie and Kirsty had moved into the ground floor flat, Mary, a herbalist/witch lived on the first floor and Brian and Linda lived on the top floor. Most of the women worked in the Healthcare field, while the men shared similar jobs in the IT field.
Five years ago, Jamie Knight lost everything: his home, his wife and their unborn child. But at least the woman responsible, 'Dark Angel' Lucy Newton, was in prison, and slowly Jamie was able to rebuild his life.
I have to admit it didn't feel like a short story. I was hooked right from the beginning until the last page.
A Murder of Magpies was a gripping and sometimes unnerving read. I would recommend reading the full-length novel before starting the sequel for full satisfaction.
I'm not going to say much about the plot; this isn't a long read, for risk of spoilers.
A lot was packed into this short sequel and I hope there is going to be another episode. The ending is left open for a third instalment…
Another winner Mark!

A Murder of Magpies (The Magpies, #2)

Not going to say to much. I just finished. It is pretty short, not a full length book and is the second installment in The Magpies.
I was a bit let down. I was. It was not bad. I am not sure this writer COULD write anything bad. But it did not have the depth of the first one and it was totally unrealistic. Maybe that is because it was written as a short. But Despite everything, it was impossible to resist this chance to stroke his favorite scar.
I was a bit let down. I was. It was not bad. I am not sure this writer COULD write anything bad. But it did not have the depth of the first one and it was totally unrealistic. Maybe that is because it was written as a short. But it in no way packed the punch of The Magpies.
If that is what you are seeking you maybe a bit let down. Or not. I see some did love it.
When the author wrote the first Magpies, he spoke in the afterword about keeping it realistic. Now maybe there was to much demand so he had to get it out quickly. I can see why. Magpies 1 is incredible and I myself who does not usualy email writers out of the blue was myself going to email him to ask for a part two. Magpies is THAT GOOD.
But it was foreboding. And the dread was slow to build but was omnipresent. It was remarkable.
This was fun to read but could have been any thriller. And you kind of..sorry but you kind of..always knew you were reading a book. And it was so short..
Not much character development and other reviewers are spot on..Lucy devolves into your typical psycho. There is nothing subtle ab out her anymore. That is just not present.
I am glad I read it and look forward to the final installment. I do wish this had been full length but am just glad he did a follow up at all. Three stars from me. ...more

Lucy aka 'Dark Ange' has been released from Prison and Jamie, despite moving half way across the world to start a new life is drawn back into her web, when he receives a desperate message from a stranger. As this is a short story Mark Edwards wastes no time in hurling the reader into Jamie's world, from the start his hatred for his old adversary Lucy is palatable. As for Lucy she's a psychopath without a doubt, she's a character you would definitely not want as a neighbour, she's calculating, manipulative and downright chilling but at the same time you can't help being fascinated by her.
Shrouded in malice A Murder Of Magpies manages to pack a punch, it's packed to the brim with tension, something that I find can sometimes be lacking in a short read. After reading both books there's a lot to be said for living in a detached house, Neighbours can be your best friends or your worse enemy. I really enjoyed this sequel and meeting up with Jamie and Lucy again, but I only wish it had been a full length novel, so if you just happen to stumble across this review Mr Edwards "more Magpies please". ...more

Quick shortie picking up years after The Magpies finished.

Edwards does a nice job filling in the years and bringing things to present day, leading with the main protagonist Jamie Knight.

Where this fell short for me was with the reintroduction of the antagonist Lucy. This was a much milder version of the crazy psycho from book 1. With under a 100 pages, Edwards just wasn't able to capture that intense, nail biting page turner feeling that held me captive In The Magpies.
Of course I'm heading off to read the last and final book in the series Last of the Magpies, I have too much invested to walk away now. But it looks to be another shortie, so🤞🏼! ...more

I have to admit it didn't feel like a short story. Right from the very first page I was well and truly hooked and din't put it down until I had got to the very last page.

Jamie, I have to say hasn't faired that well and if I could have envisioned what was in store for him on his return to the UK, I would have been screaming at him to stay exactly where he was!
A Murder of Magpies was a thrilling and sometimes horrifying read. There is one part that I am sure will give you the heebie jeebies.

Brilliant book though and would recommend reading the full length novel before embarking on the sequel for full enjoyment. ...more

I often recommend Mark Edward's psychological thriller THE MAGPIES as I think it's one of the best books I've read which gets under your skin and freaks you out, so I was over the moon to be given the chance to read A MURDER OF MAGPIES which is a novella follow up.
It took me an hour to read and that 60 minutes was absolutely gripping. This book is thrilling, exciting and typically scary and annoying it left me wanting MORE. Highly recommended for fans of the first book.

At some point in the story Jamie thinks "Coming here had been yet another stupid mistake in a long line of stupid mistakes." I couldn't help but agree with him. After all he'd been through, it seemed a little strange that he'd be so gullible.
Still, I can't help but root for Jamie. The ending was a little over the top, but I will be definitely be reading the final installment of the series.

This novella is a bridge between Edwards' best-selling first novel, The Magpies, which I read last week, and the sequel, The Last of the Magpies, which comes out at the end of the month, and for which I was fortunate to receive an arc. It's only about an hours read, but fits a lot in. It only really works if you already know the characters.

It's only about an hours read, but fits a lot in. It only really works if you already know the characters.
Set five years after the end of The Magpies, Jamie Knight, who lost everything due to the psychopathic Newtons, is living in Australia and rebuilding his life, but a chance encounter with former neighbour Brian rekindles his obsession with the Dark Angel, Lucy Newton, who has been released from prison on appeal. When a young woman guesses who he is from his posts on a website about the case, she begs for his help as she is experiencing the same torment that he and Kirsty went through. Returning to Britain, they hatch a plan to catch Lucy in a criminal act and put her away for good, but will she be too clever for him this time?
Edwards has published several other books since his debut, and his writing and plotting has improved immeasurably. While Jamie is still impulsive, selfish and idiotic, the short format meant he didn't get a chance to be too annoying. There is the same sense of impending dread as things start to go wrong for him, and some creepy scenes. I was most worried about the cat, and thought what Kirsty did was unforgivable, even if it worked.
I'm glad I am able to move on to the final book soon, as had this ended without knowing if or when a resolution was coming I might have felt short-changed, whereas I'll get to complete the story before I can forget what happened. ...more

But like a moth to a flame Jamie finds himself drawn back into another battle of wits against his nemesis. But once again he has no idea what he is getting himself into.
Poor deluded Jamie,still making stupid decisions,still thinking he can outsmart cunning,twisted Lucy. Us humans,we make mistakes but we do normally try to learn something from them. Jamie doesn't seem to have learnt anything from the mistakes that he made five years previously despite the guilt that he carries around with him. Lucy is just as despicable,conniving and unlikable as she was in The Magpies.
Although this is only a short story,there is certainly a lot packed into the 93 pages. As usual Mark Edwards words flow with ease,no parts of the story feel like padding,the story held me captive from the first page right through to the OMG final sentence. You don't have to have read The Magpies to enjoy this gripping,twist packed,page turner, the first chapter is a rundown of the life and crimes of Lucy Dawson and the methods that Lucy used to terrorise Jamie in The Magpies are mentioned throughout the story although unfortunately the Martians don't get a mention this time.There is even a quest appearance by one of Mark Edwards other colourful characters.

But my excitement didnt last.
I feel disappointed as book one was 400 pages. This book is less than 100 pages and book three is also less than 100 pages, which would you give you the impression that this is a pointless effort at a trilogy, and you would be correct.

A Murder of Magpies by Mark Edwards is the second in The Magpies series.
Series Background: (Warning – May contain spoilers from previous books)
Jamie and Kirsty thought they had found the home of their dreams until the downstairs neighbours started to torment them. Chris and Lucy Newton made their lives hell. Kirsty eventually left, but Jamie's pride took over. He refused to give in. Eventually he discovered that the Newton's had bugged their apartment, and videotaped them. He also discov
Jamie and Kirsty thought they had found the home of their dreams until the downstairs neighbours started to torment them. Chris and Lucy Newton made their lives hell. Kirsty eventually left, but Jamie's pride took over. He refused to give in. Eventually he discovered that the Newton's had bugged their apartment, and videotaped them. He also discovered that Lucy Newton was responsible for 18 deaths in the long-term care facility in which she worked. A scuffle with Chris lead to a fire in the flat, resulting in Chris's death, but not before Jamie had all the evidence he needed to put Lucy Newton behind bars.
My Synopsis: (No major reveals, but if concerned, skip to My Opinions)
It's been five years now, and Jamie has moved to Australia, as far away from the fiasco of his old life as he could get. He still misses Kirsty, but she has moved on and has a daughter of her own. Jamie has not really moved on. For a while he was obsessed with a website that had followed Lucy's murders, trial and conviction, becoming one of the site's out-spoken haters of Lucy. But then Lucy's appeal was up-held, and the murder convictions over-turned. Lucy will be free. Jamie went a little crazy, but found a good therapist, and is back on a some-what even keel.
When he gets a message from someone who is going through the same hell he had, he jumps in to help. It looks like Lucy is up to her old tricks, and Jamie is going to put a stop to it. Unfortunately, there is so much more at play.
My Opinions:
I love this series. This book just sucked me in. Apparently I am now addicted to this Lucy/Jamie rivalry. I love hating Lucy. She is despicable. Jamie, on the other hand, although likable, needs to be slapped.
The book is about revenge….and much more.
This was a really short book (got an hour or so?), but it was good! The suspense built quickly, and never really ended. I'm definitely eager for the last book in the series now…

Trivia About A Murder of Magpi...


I remember my brother being a member of the Boys Brigade. Their Headquarters was St Martins Church Hall which was situated in Dean Street, Deritend. They also had a Brownie pack although I can't remember there being a Girl Guides.
Hi Pat, I don't suppose it was a hard and fast rule but normally Girl Guides and Brownies were linked with The Scouts and Cubs and The Girls' Brigade with The Boys' Brigade. The girls joined my BB Company (3rd Sutton) on our church parades. I remember mutterings then suggesting it would be a good idea if the Girls' and Boys' Brigades amalgamated (You'd then have to call it The Brigade). I don't know if there was any movement in that direction - anybody out there with inside info' who could bring us upto date?
The hall in Dean Street, which belonged to St. Martins Church in the Bull Ring, was a sort of general community hall which was used for everything activity-wise in the local community. e.g. one evening a Youth Club, another, BB, then Brownies, dance classes, the occasional jumble sale. There wasn't a Girls Brigade. My daughter was a member of the Girls Brigade in Erdington.
Week-long summer camp was one of the highlights of the BB year, at a different resort each year - I remember clearly camps at Bognor Regis, Torquay and Minehead. We slept in 8-man bell tents on straw-filled mattresses and ate in a large marqee, washing facilities were primative to say the least - an enamel bowl with cold water you collected from a nearby tap, can't remember a shower tent but there must have been one, and toilets (sorry, latrines)? I've erased those from my memory - enough said?
Hi Lyn, my membership cards are on Post #8.
Here's your challenge should you decide to accept: BB Companies are usually identified by just a number (I was in the 3rd Sutton Coldfield) why 1stA?
Crikey Lyn - that is memorabilia in depth!
I've just checked the site, Lyn, very impressive - Pictures of Lord Justice Finnemore reminded me he was an avid supporter of the BB in general and the 1stA in particular - if I've got it right he purchased a sports ground in Perry Barr opposite The Boar's Head for the 1stA - very generous.
Serious camping started for me in 1963 when I began to prepare for the Duke of Edinburgh Silver Award - my first job was to make a weather-proof pennant for our tent, so I could fly the flag - why did I need a flag? - Many organisations sponsor youngsters to gain the award not just the BB and it was to make our tent stand out if we found ourselves camping with other movements. This pennant is now 55 years old and whilst it has a few watermarks and is now retired it still looks pretty good considerig the atrocious weather it has seen in service - more about that later.


A new study by researchers at the University of Lethbridge and McGill University provides further confirmation that stress experienced by pregnant women has a lasting impact on the health of their children.
The study, published in Nature – Scientific Reports, by Dr. Gerlinde Metz, a neuroscientist at the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience, in collaboration with Tony Montina, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) manager, and several graduate and undergraduate students, was completed on 32 adolescents, both male and female, born to mothers who lived through the Great Ice Storm of 1998. NMR spectroscopy done on urine samples showed higher risks of metabolic illness such as insulin resistance, diabetes and obesity later in life.
Dr. Gerlinde Metz and Tony Montina used a Bruker 700 NMR instrument to analyze urine samples for biomarkers related to disease development.
The Great Ice Storm left more than four million people without electricity, some of them for more than a month. Eastern Ontario and southern Quebec were especially hard hit. Project Ice Storm was set up by Dr. Suzanne King, a professor of psychiatry at McGill, in the aftermath of the storm to build understanding about the effects of prenatal exposure to stress on children's development. Nearly 180 pregnant women signed up and researchers have been following their children's development in subsequent years.
While the results point to health risks for offspring later in life, Metz says that identifying risks to health is the first step to creating effective therapeutic interventions to minimize them.
Similar results have been shown in epigenetic studies but the benefits of studying urine samples, or even blood, saliva or hair samples, is that they can provide the same results using a noninvasive technique that's far less expensive than epigenetic testing.
"Metabolomic downstream biomarkers that are much easier to obtain in a clinical setting, much cheaper to work with and to process and analyze, hold great potential to triage and diagnose these children who are at risk of developing disease later in life due to adverse experiences in utero or early in life," says Montina.
The research is very timely, given climate change and the increasing incidence of natural disasters like wildfires and floods.

China 'may allow foreign currency online transactions'
https://str.sg/wMJj
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China may allow 17 online payment services companies, including Alibaba Group's Alipay and Tencent Holding's Tenpay, to trial foreign currency transactions as part of a pilot programme.
A report in the official Shanghai Securities News quoted on Wednesday an unidentified source as saying that the State Administration of Foreign Exchange had given verbal permission for the trials, which may pave the way for these companies to handle transactions by Chinese shoppers who buy goods and services from foreign online retailers using local currency.
China this year is expected to leapfrog the United States to become the world's largest online marketplace by customer spending, and is forecast to be worth 3.3 trillion yuan (S$677 billion) by 2015, according to consultants Bain & Company, China's e-commerce market has grown at an average rate of 71 per cent from 2009 to last year compared to 13 per cent in the US, the Bain report added.
The volume of third-party online payments in China reached 1.1 trillion yuan in the second quarter of the year, a 28 per cent year-on-year increase, according to Beijing-based research firm iResearch. Alipay accounted for almost half of market, while Tenpay accounted for 20 per cent.

Antidetect 7.6 - The world's most secure browser.
Antidetect 7.6 is our most recent product, which we created based on all our many-year work with customers.
The browser created through Antidetect is the usual Firefox Portable that you can use as you wish: transfer it to any place, to any PC, share with colleagues. To launch the created browser, you do not even need Antidetect! Each browser will store in itself all history, cookies, tabs, etc.
We have a site where you can buy configs from any browser.
For example, you can take the config from IOS and all sites will think that you are working from the phone.
- Flash player: language, screen dimensions, OS name, flash fonts.
The program is suitable for beginners, everything is done as simply as possible. All you need is get a config from a new browser, choose language, write WebRTC IP, geolocation and start new browser. There is no need to understand the technical issues.
To solve any problems, any client can contact tech support.
- Technical support via chat, jabber, icq or ticket system on the site.
3. Updates cane be paid and free, paid updates usually cost $100.
1. Audio Fingerprint spoofer. A real browsers audio fingerprints was grabbed and added to antidetect, so you can now spoof audio fingerprint better than ever!
2. Added ability to manual edit WebGL Vendor & Renderer for more sensitive tuning. A list of values will be changed according to chosen config (profile), values in the list are grabbed from real browsers.
3. Finally we support WebGL2. WebGL2 will be enabled if your config (profile) is grabbed from browser, which is support webgl2 technology (for example, IOS have no webgl2 enabled). Also, this function works if your system have it onboard, virtual machines usually have no such function.
4. Now we have Cookies import (JSON & Netscape).
5. Antidetect extension now have a notepad, 1 browser – 1 notepad, files are stored only with browser and nowhere more, be 100% secure.
6. Recoded WebGL, Canvas, WebRTC for faster work.
1. 1 license for 1 system only. Prepare in advance the system that you will use for 30 days.
2. In special cases, paid re-activation is possible. For example, you used the license for 15 days, your system broke down and you reinstalled it, contact support, pay $ 50 (the amount will depend on the number of days since the license was activated) and we give you a new key for 30 days.
3. There is no moneyback, be careful before making a deposit.
2. WebRTC and GeoLocation improvements.
2.1. GeoLocation will automatically change when IP changes (city accuracy is not 100% but it can be adjusted in settings if needed).
2.2. GeoLocation map has been fixed.
2.3. WebRTC will automatically change when IP changes.
2.4. Removed ability to set WebRTC manually.
2.5. Added support for proxifier software.
3.1. Added an ability to setup multiple languages with priorities like in a real browser.
3.2. Added drag and drop funcionality to set language priorities (most left language has a higher priority over the one on the right side).
5. Improved snapshot of the browser picking for a profile. The snapshot will have a more random hardware IDs from now on.
6. Various usability and performance improvements.
Private software. New powerful chrome antidetect. Fonts generator. Canvas cloud fingerprint technology. Free configs. Personal support for you. Price is $2999. Requires $100 monthly payment for service. Top secret product. Please dont buy before you know what is it. Contact support for more details.
This is the only antidetect software in the world which can spoof fingerprints so naturally as it possible. There is no same products at the moment on market. It can collect fingerprints found in your website scripts, sort it, push on config grabber, and then you can find that canvas fingerprinter of some website show you real information as it would be on config native PC! We spoof not randomly, it is carefully collected profiles from high quality website.
When gathering profiles from "real" browsers, we are using our own built-in "canvas fingerprint" validation. This means we are able to group fake from good profiles (no one can be trusted these days). Also it's the main reason why we have not so much profiles yet, a special algorithm validates browser snapshots from different computers and once we have a sufficient number of valid snapshots - profile becomes available for our customers. Currently we have around 30% of profiles validated and enabled, this number is growing each day. An introduction to our own "canvas fingerprint" validation, allowed to make some major canvas fingerprint upgrades.
1. Accuracy - because of careful process of the validation for profiles, we can assure that correct canvas fingerprint resolution will be applied.
3. Better Coverage - an improvement of accuracy and speed provides atleast 2-3x better coverage, this means we will more likely have a correct canvas fingerprint resolution compared to the older system.
From now, you can spoof your geolocation. Its pretty easy and useful. Be located anywhere you want. Send your geolocation in social networks to anyone to proof you are there.
Even supported WebGL extensions list is spoofed. We did a hard and great work.
Limited customers count = less people in the world have this spoofing technology. Efficiency will be on high, its already checked by only few people. Actually we have only 4 users of this software. Once we got new positive feedbacks, price is raise.
3) We have no discounts and not planning to have it in future. Price will only raise up.

The Mannar court on Wednesday ordered the release the 41 fishermen of Rameswaram and Mandapam, who were arrested and taken away by the Sri Lankan navy in July and August. Ten mechanised boats of the fishermen were also taken away by the island nation navy. Subsequently, all the arrested fishermen were lodged in Vavunya prison. The 41 fishermen were produced on Wednesday before the Mannar court which ordered their release.
However, the court refused to give their boats back and posted the hearing in the case to December 11.
Earlier on September 23, the Puthalam court had ordered the release of 35 fishermen of Pamban. However, in this case also the four boats of the fishermen were not released. The hearing in this case has been adjourned to November 18.
The 35 fishermen of Pamban are now kept in Marikana De camp. Around 33 mechanised boats, which were taken away by the Lankan navy during the arrests of fishermen on earlier occasions, have been anchored in the sea off Kalpatti, Thalaimannar, Kankesanthurai and Paruthithurai.
Meanwhile, Jesu Raja a fishermen leader of Thangatchimadam, said that the North East monsoon would set in shortly in Sri Lanka. So there was a possibility of the anchored Indian boats getting damaged by gales. Hence the Central and State governments should take action to get back the boats from Lankan waters, he added.
The tough stance taken by the Lanka government was dealing a serious blow to the fishermen, he added.

Crop production and natural resource use, especially in developing countries, represents one of the most important food sources for humans. In particular, two wheat species (tetraploid, which is mostly used for pasta and hexaploid, which is primarily used for bread) account for about 20% of the whole calories consumed worldwide. In order to assess the mineral accumulation capability of some popular tetraploid wheat genotypes, a metabolomic (metallomic) approach was used in this study. The metallomic profile related to micro- (Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, Ni and Cr), macro- (Ca, Mg and K) and toxic trace elements (Cd and Pb) was obtained by ICP-AES analysis in a large set of tetraploid wheat genotypes (Triticum turgidum L.) that were grown in two different experimental fields. Correlations and multivariate statistical analyses were performed, grouping the samples under two wheat sets, comprising cultivated durum cultivars (T. turgidum subsp. durum) and wild accessions (T. turgidum subsp. dicoccum and subsp. dicoccoides). The site dependence ranking for the selected genotypes with the highest nutrient accumulation was obtained. The significantly higher content of Mg (among the macronutrients) and the highest levels of Mn, Fe and Zn (among the micronutrients) were found for wild accessions with respect to durum cultivars. Moreover, the former genotypes were also the ones with the lowest level of accumulation of the trace toxic elements, in particular Cd. According to the performed statistical analyses, the wild accessions appeared also to be less influenced by the different environmental conditions. This is in accord with literature data, indicating the superiority of "old" with respect to modern wheat cultivars for mineral content. Although further studies are required on a wider range of genotypes to confirm these findings, the obtained results could be used to better select the less demanding and better performing cultivars in specific target wheat growing environments.

I have even tried the above code by setting 'Access-Control-Allow-Methods': 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS'. But I still receive the same error: "Method DELETE is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Methods in preflight response."


Beginning with the title, it's hard not to feel welcomed by Invitation to Dance, a new documentary by Simi Linton and Christian von Tippelskirch that screened last Saturday at the Margaret Meade Film Festival in New York City. It invites us into a world where the freeing, sensuous power of dance is available to many different kinds of bodies. It invites us to see how the movements of people in wheelchairs, people with the rolling gait of cerebral palsy, people with one arm or leg, people with conjoined fingers, crutches, braces, and all manner of adaptive devices challenge the ways the able bodied have defined what counts as dance. As it does so, Invitation to Dance tells a story about movement as a form of self-expression and as the collective public actions of people with disabilities demanding the right to access and inclusion.
When Simi Linton became a wheelchair user following a car accident that killed her husband and best friend in 1972, she knew nothing of the movement for disability rights that was just emerging in the United States. She dutifully completed her rehab program, went home, and accepted that there were things she just couldn't do anymore. When she found herself excluded from social gatherings, classrooms, restaurants, and public transportation, she understood that she was the problem. To ask that a class be moved, sidewalks equipped with curb cuts, or bathroom stalls expanded seemed embarrassingly narcissistic.
Decades later, as a teacher and public speaker, Linton tells audience members to raise their left hands in the air. "This hand is society," she tells them. "Now, make your right hand into a fist. That's the person with a disability." Traditionally, our attention has focused on the way the fist of disability fails to fit the outstretched hand of society. When the fist doesn't conform, she explains, we say its failures and limitations are to blame. Disability studies—and the disability rights movement that inspired it—focuses on how the hand of society creates barriers to access and imagines how it could be more accommodating to bodies and minds that are different from the norm.
Invitation to Dance tells the story of Linton's conversion from fist to hand as her life and work intersected with a broader movement for the rights of people with disabilities. Linton was an activist even before her accident, and her affiliation with disability rights is a natural outgrowth of her involvement in the women's and anti-war movements. Her story is intercut with footage showing important moments in its history such as activists crawling up the steps of the U.S. Capitol building and the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.
Invitation to Dance is also about less visible forms of discrimination. Most public bathrooms, Linton explains to a group of design students (gathered for an unconventional teaching moment in a public bathroom), don't hang mirrors at a level where a wheelchair user can see her reflection. When Linton's husband needed emergency surgery, there were no wheelchair-accessible taxis. Forced to take a public bus, she arrived too late to see him before the operation. When she visited Frank Gehry's Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, she found an attractive entrance ramp curving up the side of the building. Attractive, but not useful, Linton notes as the camera travels up the ramp, capturing the perspective of a wheelchair user. Through her eyes, we see how its high walls and narrow width cut the wheelchair user off from her companions and other building traffic. Once inside, Linton discovered the restaurant was accessible only by stairs. Contrast the unwelcoming design of Disney Hall with the bright openness of the Guggenheim Museum, built with a ramp as its central feature rather than a necessary afterthought. We see Linton and her friend, dancer Alice Sheppard, rolling through the Guggenheim, chairs and bodies moving in a graceful synchrony.
Documentary footage of Linton's childhood shows a girl constantly in motion. After her accident, Linton believed that chapter of her life was over. Her body in a chair was incompatible with dance. Watching the Tea Dances at Fire Island in the 1970s gave her the first glimmer of hope that she would dance again. And dance she did, at parties, in the streets, and in the ballroom space of the Society for Disability Studies conferences. According the Linton, dance is a powerful means to include people with disabilities and recognize their capacity for self-expression. Dance has everything to do with sexuality, public visibility, reclaiming space, and access to a life richer than just a struggle for basic survival. Invitation showcases the great variety of dance that can fall under the rubric of disability, from the gorgeously choreographed performances of Homer Avila and the AXIS dance company to the rougher more confrontational work of the GIMP project and lively, improvised dances at private parties and conferences.
Invitation to Dance intercuts scenes of disabled bodies in vibrant, sensuous motion with scenes of professors and activists talking about issues of access, disability rights, and the power and meaning of dance as a form of cultural expression. But their eloquence risks obscuring the role dance has played for those who lack the ability to express themselves with verbal speech or writing. Focusing on the professional and social circles that define Linton's orbit, Invitation to Dance doesn't mention dance troupes that incorporate people with intellectual disabilities such as Karen Peterson, Restless Dance Theatre (Australia), Jolt Dance (New Zealand), or Anjali Dance Company (UK). The work of these groups proves that dancers with autism, Down syndrome, and other intellectual disabilities are equally passionate and capable of using their bodies as a means of self-expression, even if they are less verbally adept.
Noting the film's omissions, I'm aware of how this is Simi Linton's party. She is a charming, articulate, and irascible host and her celebration is well deserved. A scene near the end finds Linton, Sheppard, and dancer Lezlee Frye in a bar following a performance. Here are three good friends laughing, drinking, and having a grand time. Sheppard rolls her eyes with exasperation at how frequently (literally, every day) she is called "inspirational" for doing ordinary things. Frye mocks an audience member who described her performance as "so inspirational and sad." The three women dissolve into helpless laughter. There is something a bit unkind about making fun of this spectator's earnest and, no doubt, well-meaning response. But given the long history of people with disabilities being reduced to figures of pity or inspiration, we must surely agree that these women—talented, powerful, and, yes, flawed like the rest of us—are entitled this private moment of comradeship and levity. Invitation to Dance lets us share that moment and to feel, for an hour or so, that we have been allowed to join their party.

The Summerside D. Alex MacDonald Ford Western Capitals' winning streak may have ended at nine games Saturday night, but the top team in the MHL (Maritime Junior Hockey League) still managed to salvage a point.
The Capitals, who trailed 4-0 after one period, rallied to tie the game late in the third period in what turned out to be a 6-5 shootout loss to the Amherst Ramblers.
The Capitals' record is now 28-5-1 (won-lost-overtime losses), good enough for a three-point lead over the Yarmouth Mariners (25-7-4) in the league's overall standings. Yarmouth dropped back-to-back home games over the weekend – 6-3 to Amherst on Friday and 1-0 to Pictou County on Saturday.
Before 655 fans at the Amherst Stadium, Alex Lafreniere scored the only goal of the shootout to give the Ramblers the win. Will Lafford and Casey Fox also had opportunities for Amherst in the shootout. Summerside's shooters were Kallum Muirhead, Brodie MacArthur and Dylan Riley.
Defenceman Michal Sivek, who the Ramblers acquired from the Caps in a Jan. 10 trade deadline deal, scored two goals and added an assist to lead the Ramblers (24-9-2). Lafford netted a pair of goals, and Stephen Fox was credited with Amherst's other marker in regulation time. Dawson Grenier of Souris, Nick Snow (2), Cole Waugh, Casey Fox and Caleb Rich chipped in with assists.
Brodie MacArthur, who extended his point streak to 15 games, and Jesse Annear each had a goal and two assists to pace the Capitals. MacArthur, who scored his 30th goal of the season, sits atop the league scoring race with 67 points in 34 regular-season games.
Muirhead (1-1), Riley (1-1) and Cam Roberts rounded out the Caps' scoring. Jacob Arsenault added an assist.
The Caps netted the only two goals of the middle frame to cut Amherst's lead in half – 4-2 – after 40 minutes. After the teams exchanged goals in the first minute of the third period, Roberts (7:38) and MacArthur (12:44) scored to tie the game 5-5.
Joel Goguen earned the goaltending win over Dominik Tmej. Overall, the Capitals outshot the Ramblers 44-34 in regulation and overtime.
1. Will Lafford (Ramblers), 2. Michal Sivek (Ramblers), 3. Dylan Riley (Capitals).
The Capitals are back in action on Thursday, when the Grand Falls Rapids (9-18-5) provide the opposition at Eastlink Arena. Puck drop is set for 7 p.m.

The Live Show
Watch: Working for the Mouse Trailer
Ever wonder what really goes on at the Happiest Place on Earth? Working for the Mouse started out as a live solo show chronicling the life of a costumed character and answers this and other burning questions like, "Is it hot in there?", "Where do you see out of?" and "What kind of underwear does Mickey wear under there?"
Playwright and performer Trevor Allen spent a few years in Southern California playing Pluto, Mr. Smee, the Mad Hatter and other characters in his height range on his quest for voice clearance and his dream of becoming Peter Pan. He recounts his tales of backstage debauchery, militant managers and his quirky coworkers in this unique coming-of-age tale that blows pixie dust in your eyes while offering a glimpse behind the ears of the Magic Kingdom.
Working for the Mouse was voted Best of the San Francisco Fringe Festival and went on to play to sold-out houses and critical acclaim in Berkeley, San Francisco, and even Los Angeles without once getting a cease-and-desist order from Disney.
"Very funny… Mouse is an uplifting comic tale well told… Comparisons with David Sedaris' hilarious Santaland Diaries are obvious."
SF BAY GUARDIAN
"Amusing, skillful, and contagiously warmhearted… You may not believe your ears (or Pluto's) on this unofficial guided tour behind the scenes."
"Fascinating… Infectious… He's got more than a magic bag full of fun anecdotes, and the charisma of Peter Pan to pull off telling them."
