TrackMeNot add-on keeps search engine profilers confused
Protect yourself against data profiling with free Firefox add-on TrackMeNot

The free TrackMeNot Firefox add-on takes a unique and creative approach to protecting your privacy from search engines that can create profiles of you based on terms you search for. Rather than hiding your searches from them in some way, it takes the exact opposite tack: It inundates search engines with a blizzard of background searches from you, so that no practical profile can be built because there are too many random searches. It generates those search terms from a group of RSS feeds from sites including the New York Times, CNN, and others.
It does this for the most popular search engines, including Google, Bing, AOL Search, Yahoo search, and Baidu (China's most popular search engine). If you're a Chrome user, don't despair, because the Chrome version of TrackMeNot works the same way. Every time it does a search, you see a small indication at the bottom of the Firefox screen, showing you the search term, and to which engine it's been submitted. The searches are submitted in the background, so that you can continue using your browser as you would normally, with no effect on its speed.
TrackMeNot gives you a great deal of control over how you use it, including the search engines to which you want the searches sent, the number of searches done per hour, whether queries should be shown to you or remain visible, and so on. If you'd like, you can edit the list of feeds it uses to generate the terms. Go to the Options screen, and enter RSS feeds into the appropriate box.
All in all, TrackMeNot is a great, no-pain, no-cost tool for helping ensure personal profiles about you can't be built.

"Our life on earth is similar to a carpet. The Guru, Higher energies and God play the role of a weaver. The carpet that relatively takes time to manufacture is usually the most expensive ones. We can help our weaver to create that legendary divine magic carpet that can be used to transport persons instantaneously or quickly to their destination."
"I had an opportunity to attend Vyomeshji's discourse. He was revealing the art of studying and to be a better student. He was suggesting on how to be a channel to a very simple truth in learning. As I followed these instructions consistently, I got 100/100 in 5 subjects and 96-98 in remaining subjects. And till today I am a topper in my school. I have realised the benefits and power of positive thoughts and gratitude towards my teachers."
"I realised that he is one of us and living very much like a mast keeping the sail steady applying all the principles of spirituality. His solution was simple which is to forgive, forget, bless and serve. He may not see himself as anyone's Guru and he believes that we are all Gurus and divine sparks with divine light, love and power."
"He is my Guru, my friend, philosopher and guide. Above all, my "GODFATHER"! He initiated the transformation in me. Experienced what spirituality and divinity is; got to know the meaning of life. I came to know the science of divinity, the importance of 'Karmas', on being spiritual, being selfless human."
"His spiritual discourse has been food for the soul and has been wake up call for many of us!"


I just got back from by far one of my favorite press tip during this year, and what a surprise it was actually in my own country in France ! It was my first time in Biarritz and its area, and I totally fell in love. I was here for a few days with the Billabong team, and we had so much fun ! We went to a surf lesson and for the first time I was standing on the board and I took some waves. The feeling was unreal and I actually want to go back there for some vacation with Maxime just to surf again.
Billabong are really the best to host a party, we made some aqua painting, our own flower bouquets and we met so many inspiring girls from all around the world while sharing good cocktails and great food.
And the fun went on during the whole week-end, we visited San Sebastian in Spain for a fews hours, and we ate some açaí bowl (Bali Bowls in Biarritz) it made me believe I was back in Canggu or Seminyak haha. But most of all we spent a lot of time at the beach during this trip, and that's all it takes to make me the happiest !
I had the best time ever !
Breathtaking ! Sublissime, je n'ai pas de mot tes photos sont superbes ces couleurs, ce coucher de soleil, ton look … Tu me donnes trop envie d'aller surfer ! Merci pour ces découvertes par ici et sur insta <3 et vivement ta prochaine vidéo youtube ! #teamslowmotion haha !


Description: This report explores how ten jurisdictions from across the country are using defendant risk and needs assessment (RNA) information at sentencing. The report captures themes in stakeholder perceptions of RNA information and its use at sentencing, experiences in adopting these sentencing reforms, and lessons learned from the implementation process. The report also offers examples of how the jurisdictions have implemented the nine guiding principles for using RNAs to inform sentencing and probation revocation decisions (for more about the nine guiding principles, see the 2011 report, below).


Henchard realizes that the town is filled with gossip about Donald and Elizabeth-Jane. The "philosophic party" among the rustics are the only ones entirely pleased at the thought of their marriage. Henchard begins to worry about the life he will lead once the two are married. One day he goes to spy with a telescope on Donald and Elizabeth-Jane, but discovers Newson waiting instead of the two lovers.
Henchard returns and Elizabeth-Jane tells him of a letter she has received requesting her to meet a stranger on the Budmouth Road or at Farfrae's house in the evening. Henchard realizes that the stranger is Newson come to claim his daughter. Michael immediately says to her "as if he did not care about her" that he is leaving Casterbridge. Despite her pleas, Henchard will not reconsider and at dusk he leaves town once more as an itinerant hay-trusser. She accompanies him a short distance and sadly bids him farewell. As she is returning to Casterbridge, Donald meets her and brings her to his home where she is reunited with Newson. After Newson informs her that Henchard had lied about her death, Elizabeth-Jane's feelings toward Henchard grow cold and bitter. She and Donald actually turn against Michael so strongly that Newson takes his part. However, the past is put aside for the moment and preparations for the wedding are begun.
One wonders how Newson had discovered Farfrae and Elizabeth-Jane. Hardy leaves out this incident possibly to prevent the inclusion of another chance occurrence. Yet Hardy may have skipped over these details to bring the climactic moment to a faster resolution and to make a number of points. The focus remains on Henchard and his emotional suffering. Because Henchard has learned to sacrifice for love and is truly suffering in expiation for his sins, the sympathy shifts directly upon him, and the reader begins to experience a more intense pity for the one-time esteemed Mayor of Casterbridge.

Fails to thrill!
Thrillers are not Bollywood director's 'cup of tea' is a fact and every time a thriller comes along there is an excitement to see if this one is a game changer or not.
With a stellar cast like Naseeruddin Shah and Randeep Hooda on board the expectations are soaring high, especially because this film is from the makers of 'A Wednesday'.
The movie begins with two teenagers headed for a holiday on the lonely Casablanca estate which turns out to be a disaster as a girl named Pearl gets mysteriously killed in a jungle fire.
Pearl's dad, John Day (Naseeruddin Shah) and mother (Shernaz Patel) are coming to terms with the death until another tragedy strikes the family. John is a bank manager and his wife is held hostage by a few robbers and he is forced to help them in looting the bank.
However, during the robbery a very confidential 'Casablanca estate' file goes missing and now an ACP turned goon, Gautam (Randeep Hooda) is on a mission to track it. But the big question is, why is the file so important?
Gautam is an orphan and a childhood pedophile incident turns him into a ruthless person, he however loves his lady love Tabbassum (Elena Kazan).
Tabassum has a drinking problem and is Gautam's partner in crime, in all this craziness she has plans to get married and have kids.
'John Day' tries to reveal the nexus between the crime world and real estate investors and the extent to which they would go to acquire a land. However, director Ahishor Solmon is not able to portray the facts right and there is no connection. Even John Day's transition from a normal banker to a murderer is missing.
Few scenes in the movie are eerie like when Gautam chews Moosa's tongue and when John bites off a goon's neck.
Randeep Hooda does a fabulous job, however, the poor script lets him down and he seems to be lost in the middle of the movie.
Naseeruddin Shah is undoubtedly one of the finest actors but he is not able to emote the pain of a father or even the moments that make him inhuman are missing from the movie.
Elena Kazan's character is confusing as she is sloshed but still wants to raise kids.
Director Ahishor Solmon seeks inspiration from the Spanish movie 'Box 507' but fails. The movie has moments that make you go wow and then it leads you to a not so surprising place. Talented actors like Naseeruddin Shah and Randeep Hooda are wasted.
'John Day' could have been a classic thriller, but yet the end is what makes the feeling 'incomplete'.

Q: Node.js App - Performing tasks after x number of minutes - is the queue guaranteed I currently have a basic node.js app that runs after x number of minutes and performs some check, like so:
(async () => {
    setInterval(async function () {
        for (const work of toCheck) {
            await doSomething(work)
        }
    }, the_interval);
})();

However I now need to scale this up however not sure on the best design pattern to help we achieve this:

*

*I'd like to have multiple intervals defined. I guess I could just repeat that code block:

let intOne = setInterval(async function () {
   // some tasks
}, the_interval_one);

let intTwo = setInterval(async function () {
   // some tasks
}, the_interval_two);

However is there some other approach I should look into?

*

*Secondly, say my first interval was 1 minute, however there were many tasks (say I have to make a DB call then process something) during which those first round of tasks aren't completed in the space of 1 minute. When the second interval loop comes around, would the new tasks be queued or is there a risk of tasks not being completed?

Also for my second interval block say 30 minute, would again things just be continue to added to one queue?
Or is this something I need to be aware of with Node.js working?
Any help guidance appreciated.
Thanks.

Greece has been on Oliver Stone's Mind; Publicly Supports Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and a "New Greece"
by Gregory Pappas June 20, 2015
written by Gregory Pappas June 20, 2015
Three-time Oscar winning director Oliver Stone— best known for his controversial portrayals of American political and cultural issues and conspiracies during the late 20th century— has chimed off on his Facebook page in support of Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.
While sharing a story by Mark Weisbrot, "Germany is Bluffing on Greece" from Al Jazeera America, he chastised the United States' record with Greece, calling the history of United States involvement in Greece "disgraceful" and citing the Cold War an the military dictatorship, specifically.
He trashed the American media and encouraged his followers to not believe what you read about Greece and the economic crisis in American media.
He closes his post with a cheer for Tsipras' Syriza government: "It's clear there's never been a real Greek government the people there could respect — till this one. I say 'viva Tsipras!' 'Viva a new Greece!' ".
Oliver Stone's full post is here:
Been away for a while, 6 months in Germany, D.C., Hawaii, and Hong Kong, to make the Snowden movie. Without major studio support, it was difficult. But Open Road, an independent distributor owned by the AMC and Regal theatre chains, stepped up and pushed it through. Significant help came from Pathe in France and Universum in Germany, as well as other countries.
My Mom passed away in the last days of April at 94. One of the last things she said to me was, "I want so much this movie to be a success." This is making me work harder than ever.
As a result of being buried in this editing process for the next few months, I can only post occasionally. But much on my mind lately has been 'Grexit.' I met Alexis Tsipras almost 2 years ago in Croatia. At that conference, we all knew he was the fresh-faced comer that Greece needed.
Mark Weisbrot, in this insightful article, "Germany is Bluffing on Greece," gets to the heart of this crisis, so poorly presented to the U.S. public by our corporate media.
U.S. objective is a foul one — judging from our disgraceful history in Greece. (See "Untold History" Chapter 4, the real beginnings of our Cold War in '47 – '49.) Churchill, whose war this was, even admitted that Stalin kept his word to him, and didn't support Greek rebels in the civil war against Churchill's monarchists/fascists. This was followed by Nixon's/Agnew's crucial support for an ugly dictatorship in '67 – '74. (See the fictional movie "Z" for a dramatic intro.) It's clear there's never been a real Greek government the people there could respect — till this one.
I say 'viva Tsipras!' 'Viva a new Greece!'
— and don't believe what you read in the American media. I only wish Europe could separate itself from our empire-wide goals.

Who cares what another Hollywood limousine-liberal thinks on anything? Perhaps he can singly try to right all the wrongs everyone has done to Greece by donating some money to the cause. He won't. But for every tweet these ariheads put out, there are two tax attorneys working furiously to decrease their tax burden. Perhaps someone should start a new movement in Hollywood : "Shut Up and Dance!"

Didn't like breakfast. Maybe I wasn't lucky, cause there was some conference and lot of people the same time having breakfast. Poor choice.
Liked private parking in the yard.
The restaurant didn't have enough personal to service the dinner during the event, lines for dinner with children doesn't sound good.
The food is delicious, and the hall for the chess event is perfect.
The location is a bit remote. No sights in the close neighborhood. In case you choose it due to the SPA, consider other options. SPA area is in the basement, it is a bit outdated, much chemicals used in a pool and looks not attractive at all.
Parking is free. The hotel seemed to be quite low occupied. Breakfast was fine, for additional cost you can oder different omelettes, smoothies and fresh juices.
HORIZON restaurant didn't do well. Poor selection of beers, no beer from a tap at all. Paltus was not at expected level. Overall, left a feeling of being overpriced.
Double bed room was the largest I have ever seen in this price range in Europe. Breakfast was okay and they did not bother if you arrived very last minute. Secured parking lot with the guard. The food at the panorama restaurant was exccelent and enjoyed all the courses. the view is amazing and deffinetly worth to visit again.
2km away from center, but taxi some 3eur. Old wall needs repair in spa zone, second sauna is not working.
Breakfast, sauna and pool with jakuzzi, spray for sleeping, tea and coffee, condition.
SPA zone capacity is rather amortized and need brash up.
Everything was perfect only the room temperature was way too low.
Room was clean and tidy, decor up to date, everyone from staff really helpful.
Very clean, quiet and nice view from window.

Families of immigrants beg Obama to stop deportatiions
[Author]by the El Reportero's wire services[/Author]
Immigrant mothers on Wednesday visited Washington to deliver more than 1,000 postcards on which they are urging President Barack Obama to use his executive power to halt deportations.
Coinciding with the May 11 celebration of Mother's Day, immigrant mothers traveled to Washington from Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston and San Francisco to make their request.
United by a common history, emigration to the United States in search of a better life for their family or fleeing from threats in their countries in some cases, now the women are afraid that a family member will be deported, or even themselves, and that they will be separated from their children.
It is a fear that brings tears to the eyes of Monica Ruiz, who arrived in the United States 23 years ago as an undocumented migrant, "with high hopes because my daughters were going to have all that I didn't have," as she said at an event at the doors of the Lutheran Church of the Reformation, near the Capitol.
But the daily reality is that "they can detain me and separate me from my daughters," she said, urging first lady Michelle Obama, as a mother, to intercede for her and other mothers: "Let her heart be moved and let her know the suffering that, for mothers, is separation from their children."
The mothers were accompanied by members of the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities, or NALACC, and other supporters of the Power of the Pen campaign.
The activists recalled that Obama said in his State of the Union address that he would use his executive power when Congress did not take action to move forward, and therefore they asked him to use "the power of his pen" to halt deportations given the failure of the House of Representatives to approve immigration reform.
NALACC president Angela Sambrano recalled that in the last six years more than two million people have been deported.
Sambrano emphasized the "irreparable" harm that is done to children by deportations and said that in Mexico there are some 500,000 U.S.-born children who have left this country because their parents have been expelled, while others have remained in the United States with some other relative.
Ten members of elite police unit in Tamaulipas arrested for links to cartel
Ten members of an elite police unit in the northeastern Mexican state of Tamaulipas were arrested on charges that they had links to a criminal organization and handed over to federal prosecutors, state officials said.
The state police officers are suspected of having ties to a gang that operates in Ciudad Victoria, the state capital, the Tamaulipas Public Safety Secretariat said in a statement.
The officers were riding in patrol cars in an area outside their assigned sectors when they were arrested, the secretariat said.
"The initial questioning established that there are indications that the state police officers colluded with a criminal group, so it was decided to arrest them and turn them over to federal prosecutors to determine whether there is enough evidence to make a case," the secretariat said.
The secretariat said last October that the special police units had been deployed in Tamaulipas's 43 municipalities to "provide security and peace of mind to residents."

Daniel Davis returns to state to star in 'Love Letters'
Daniel Davis jumped at the chance to perform in "Love Letters" for one reason: Michael Learned.
The two have been friends for decades, and even godparents to different children of Richard Thomas, but had never worked together.
Learned had been a leading lady at American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco before getting the role as Olivia Walton in "The Waltons" television show. Davis had come to the theater a couple of seasons after she left, but knew who she was, and they had lots of friends in common.
Davis became friends with Richard Thomas, who played the oldest son in "The Waltons," when he and Thomas did a 1984 play, "The Devil's Disciples," at the Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts.
"We sort of shook hands and knew we'd be friends for life," Davis says.
Thomas would go on to have seven children of his own. Learned is a godmother to one of Thomas's children from his first marriage, and Davis would become a godfather to one of Thomas's children from his second marriage. Davis has known Thomas's triplets, who are now 30, since they were 3.
"It's like having a family all my own and not having to go through it or pay for it," Davis jokes.
When Davis moved from New York to Los Angeles to explore acting opportunities there, he, Thomas and Learned would meet now and then, so he got to know her.
"It's one of those small-world stories," he says.
Davis grew up in Arkansas, but left at age 18 to go to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. There, he was approached by a man who said he was producing a play in New York City, hated the lead and wanted Davis to replace him. Davis figured the guy was nuts, but it turned out he was telling the truth, and Davis ended up in a New York show. Later, a director who was auditioning talent for the American Shakespeare Festival in Stratford recognized him during an audition and told Davis he'd seen him in New York. Davis got the job.
He would go on to be based out of New York for years, but eventually decided to try his luck in Los Angeles. He immediately got work in a series of pilots that never aired and "was the Nazi of the week on every television show that had to have a bad guy, just because I was well spoken and bad guys always at least speak well."
He was about to return to New York when he got a call asking him to audition for a pilot starring Fran Drescher. Even though he planned to return to the East Coast, he went in for the audition to play a butler in a show called "The Nanny."
"And that's the one I got and that's the one that sold," he said. "That was the next six years of my life."
The show ran from 1993 to 1999. Davis's role required him to speak in a fake British accent, which would also come in handy in other roles.
Learned joked last week that she and Davis had to do television, or they'd never earn enough money to buy a house. Davis laughs at that, but says there's a lot of truth to it. During those six years, his mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and his father was forced into early retirement and they were struggling, but his earnings from "The Nanny" helped him make life a lot easier for them.
David would go on to call California home for 26 years, "which was about 20 more than I intended," he says.
Before and after "The Nanny," Davis continued to do a lot of theater, including being nominated for a Tony for "Wrong Mountain," in 2000. He's also been in "The Invention of Love," "The Frogs" and "La Cage aux Folles" on Broadway. He's also been in the movies "The Hunt for Red October," "Havana" and "The Prestige."
Davis worked with playwright A.R. Gurney in New York on the play "Black Tie." He was pleased to be offered the chance to appear in another Gurney play with "Love Letters," which follows the story of Andrew and Melissa, two friends who write each other letters from second grade throughout their lives.
The actors read the play from a script in front of them with specific instructions not to interact with each other, except for when the man pulls out the chair for the woman at the start of the play.
The lack of movement on stage is supposed to focus the audience's attention on the emotions at play.
"Danny is a wonderful, classically trained actor with such a command for the English language that he makes the words and letters come alive like few actors can," says Delaware Theater Company CEO Bud Martin, who is directing the show. "To watch Michael and Daniel together, two friends for over 40 years, is very special. It is easy to see why she cares so much for him."
Davis says he knows that a lot of people think "Love Letters" is old fashioned and past its prime.
"But I really think it's such a universal experience that he talks about and writes about that I'm really into doing it," he says.
Davis says the Delaware Theater Company's audiences have been responding well to the play, especially the older members.
"Everything in this play rings true to them," Davis says. "It's very nostalgic. They recognize all the jokes."
One wisecrack deals with infantile paralysis, a term for polio. The older members of the audience have all laughed at that line.
"They could all remember taking a little sugar tablet with the vaccine on it," Davis says.
But when they did a run-through for the mostly young theater staff, there was silence at that line, Davis say. They didn't have a frame of reference for the joke.
"It's a play that reminds an older audience of experiences that almost everybody on the planet shared of a first love and a lost love and a friendship that lasts for 40 years, and for young people, I think it gives them a picture of what their parents' lives looked like, and maybe what they have to look forward to. To me, it's a very universal experience to see this play."
This isn't the first time Davis has been to Delaware. He played Salieri in "Amadeus" on a tour about 1982. He remembers staying in the du Pont Hotel. On the cast's nights off, they would eat and drink in the Brandywine Room looking at all the paintings there, which include works by N.C. and Andrew Wyeth.
Davis also enjoyed visiting Longwood Gardens and going to the Brandywine River Museum, partly because he's a huge Andrew Wyeth fan.
While Davis will head back to New York City on Mondays and Tuesdays because he's teaching an acting class there, he and Learned hope to repeat those trips while they're here.

Ashton & Backwell slipped up at home to Chard Town, with the visitors taking the three points back home.
The teams came into this match only separated by three points in the Toolstation Division 1 league standings, but the visitors stayed calm to collect all three points.
It all started well for the Blue and Maroons and for the first 20 minutes they pinned the visitors in their own half. Townsend skipped past the defence and his shot was tipped over for a corner. From the flag kick, Saunders' volley went narrowly wide. The pressure paid off in the 10th minute, when Wells-Burr fouled Jones in the penalty area and Townsend coolly slotted home for the opener.
Chard came back slowly, the Stags back four held firm, but their midfield yielded too much to the visitors and the Reds equalised on 35 minutes with a fine strike from 30 yards out.
Just before the break, Thomas' misplaced pass in defence put them under pressure and when Warren shaped to fire from 20 yards out, Saunders attempted interception ricocheted off his shin and ballooned over Clarke and into the home net.
After the break, the introduction of Jarrett added spark to the home side, as indeed did Hardidge out wide, pumping in testing balls, with one hitting the crossbar.
However by then, the Reds were 3-1 to the good when the home defence failed to clear a corner and Parris slotted the ball past Clarke.
For the final 20 minutes, the Stags were much the better side, Elson forced a great save from Wells-Burr at the near post and Townsend had a shot deflected over.
Strong words no doubt from manager Jones over the coming week and let's hope the visit to Oldland Abbotonians on Saturday is more successful and consistent.
Team: Ryan Clarke, Billy Devoy, Regan Sollars, Joe Bishop, Sam Thomas, Joe Ellis, Connor Saunders (c), Miles Hardidge (sub Elson 63), George Jones, Calum Townsend, Harry Walker (sub Jarrett 46).
Ashton & Backwell celebrate Calum Townsend's goal against Chard Town.	Picture: Jo Shepherd, Backwell Camera Club.


The prominence of a language would not depend on the development or fall of other language, the Bench said.
Madras High Court recently rejected a Lawyers plea challenging classical language status conferred to Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Odiya. The Court said that it does not find any reason to interfere with such declaration.
R. Gandhi, a senior Lawyer in Madras High Court contended through his Public Interest Litigation that the prominence of the Tamil language would be lost, if it is treated on par with other languages, which have been conferred classical status. According to him, only Tamil and Sanskrit could be categorized as Classical Languages and categorization of other languages as Classical Languages is illegal, and seeks to dilute the benefit of such classification of Tamil.
The Court, dismissing the challenge, observed: "it is for the experts to verify whether the languages satisfy the norms and recommend for the declaration. Having satisfied, they have recommended for the declaration of the languages in consideration to be 'classical'. The facts which made the expert body to recommend the promulgation of such declaration has also been placed before us and a copy has also been furnished to the petitioner. As such we do not finding any reason to interfere with the impugned declaration. This court cannot convert itself into a forum for debate on such matters".
The Court also said that it is open to petitioner to approach the concerned authorities and also give his suggestions for determination of the type of literature that can be the bench mark for qualification for consideration to the concerned authorities.


Out of date web browser. Out of date script engine. Limping solution.
There doesn't seem to be any good official debugger for IE7, unless you have Visual studio installed. Search the web and there is a NT4-compatible Microsoft Script Debugger; it is not very good. There is one or more solutions but this is the only I have tried.
when working with jquery and ajax on an iis / dotnet solution, it might be due to missing lines in web.config. The code below is for Dotnet3.5. I don't know what it looks like in 2.0 or 4.0.
Just a tip up front. IE7 runs an older script engine than IE8 and has no full support for Json.
So your code that calls JSON.stringify does not work.
Running IE9 in compatibility mode does not make this error appear – it seems like IE9-in-IE7-mode is running a newer script engine.
That impediment avoided you are free to continue adding value to your site.

Facebook is reportedly preparing to test "mid-roll" advertising spots in non-live videos, in a move that would finally allowing video publishers to make serious revenue —if potentially at the expense of turning off some viewers.
Ads will be allowed after the 20-second mark in a clip, and only in videos lasting 90 seconds or more, according to Re/code sources. Facebook is expected to give publishers 55 percent of revenue, identical to the split offered by Google's YouTube.
The company began testing mid-roll ads in live streams last year, but streaming's ephemeral nature likely makes them less profitable, especially since going live can be impractical for many content makers.
Video has become a staple of Facebook's News Feed, often featuring material edited with the social network in mind. Ad revenue has been slight to non-existent for many publishers though, as both pre- and mid-roll commercials have been banned. For the foreseeable future, pre-roll spots will still be off the table.
Publishers like BuzzFeed have been allowed to make videos sponsored by advertisers, but that can also be impractical —particularly for outlets concerned about maintaining objectivity or creative freedom.
The time limits for mid-roll ads could mark a shift towards long-form video and away from simply racking up as many views as possible. At the moment Facebook logs a view after just three seconds, which poses a problem for advertisers and publishers alike, given that videos typically auto-play in the News Feed even if a person is just scrolling past.
A risk with the new ads is that people will turn to blockers avoid them on the Web, or simply go elsewhere to watch. The issue could become even more acute on devices like Apple's iPhone, since many people have capped cellular data plans that would be taxed even further with video advertising.

Violet and big al. Im so sorry for your loss. My hesrt is breaking for u . My god help u with your pain. If there is anything i can do just let me.know.


Bad. This word sums up my feelings on this book precisely. The burb on The 13th Tablet was intriguing which made me pick up this book. I was soon left regretting this decision.
Meet Mina Oswald - modern day Cleopatra - as the author would like us to believe. She's an archeologist, a professor, a Ph.D student and beautiful to boot. What's not to like? Except for the tiny fact that she's dumb as a dodo and lets not talk about common sense.
The book came across more of the author trying hard to make the reader like Mina rather than focusing on the plot. Speaking of the plot, its bizzare as to how simple things are for the lady Indiana Jones to find out about the missing 13th Tablet. Talking about the tablets, the author starts off with 1 clay tablet which has a stone tablet hidden inside it which in a roundabout way leads the illustrious lady to another tablet.... I mean which one is the 13th is a mystery that is not solved even when the book ends.
Following the lady - as she trapises around the globe meeting scholars - like a lovesick puppy is Retired. Major John Hillcliff. He's so in love with his lady that the basic common sense soon deserts outs hero while is he's out trying to save the world beside his lady love. Add to that a more characters who fall in love/lust with Miss Oswald as soon as they lay their eyes on her (this includes the villan) the whole thing becomes boorish to the extreme.
There is no reason why the reader to empathise with Miss Oswalds quest, the Major comes across as a macho gone wrong, the author is confused between who to make the villan in this tale, the greedy bilionaire or the cultist leader and all it leaves the reader is a massive headache and a healthy dose of apathy towards the protagonists.
By the end of this book I couldn't care less if they succeeded, I just wanted the damn book to end.


The 31st release on Replug Records sees label boss Cid Inc. returning for a brand new EP. Henri Hurtig aka Cid Inc. is now in what promises to be the most essential year of his storied production career. With forthcoming releases scheduled on Anjunadeep, Sudbeat and Lost & Found Cid Inc. is set to unveil some of the most cutting edge music to ever come out of his studio. His new double A-side offering on Replug should be more than enough to his tide fans over as it offers two selections which have featured heavily in his sets over recent months.
'Seeker' leads the release off with an funky, energetic approach that is both fresh and inspiring. Cid Inc's undulating waves of bass combined with seductive melodic hooks and alluring sheets of noise make for a powerful first act. The bounce and drive are sure to be brilliant on the dance floor and carry the piece to the main break with ease. The filtered down middle portion maintains the killer groove all while delivering some palatable tension. As the modulation reaches a fiery peak the swirling atmospheres get washed away as the infectious groove reappears for a charged finale.
Diehard Cid Inc. fans have been calling for the release of 'Darpa' for quite some time and at long last it is available here. With it being a prominent element of the Swedish producer's sets in recent months the track has generated some much deserved attention from the electronic music underground. All Cid Inc. grooves are meticulously crafted and carved to perfection but 'Darpa' may be one of Henri's most powerful studio compositions to date. The elastic-like bass stabs are adorned with a lovely acidic quality and make up the tracks energetic foundation. As the momentous rhythms build through the records first half waves of percussion, metallic hits and trippy electronics not only assault your senses but add a charging intensity to the tracks already impressive hypnotic swing. The main break is set for total dance floor exhilaration with a slow rolling wall of drum modulation adding the ultimate apex before the irresistible groove drops back in for a huge payoff. A massive return for Cid Inc. on his Replug imprint with both tracks rivalling the best work to ever come of his studio. Highly Recommended.


Being hit by a car is a jarring and potentially life-altering event. Unfortunately, despite the traumatic experience, you still need to take action to protect yourself. Following the correct process will ensure your safety, rights, and financial protections.
In this post, we'll outline what you should do in the immediate moments and days after being hit by a car.
Have you been hit by a car and need advice on how to proceed? Contact me for a free, confidential consultation.
While making sure you're okay may seem like a simple task, serious injuries can be masked due to shock or adrenaline.
If possible, move to a safe area off the street and collect yourself. Try to breath slowly and calm yourself down. While you may be experiencing a mixture of pain, fear, adrenaline, and anger, calming down will help you better interpret any immediate injuries. You'll also be able to proceed with a clear head. This will be helpful when talking to witnesses and the police.
If you do find yourself seriously injured, always make sure to procure medical treatment as soon as possible by calling 911.
It's important the incident is accounted for and you're there to manage the situation, if medically possible. You might not feel injured now, but you may in the future. You will want to ensure you have the driver's contact and insurance information and that the accident is documented by police.
Don't just assume it's not a big deal and move on.
Even drivers who appear to (or who actually do) mean well may try to get out of the situation without any repercussions. As an experienced attorney, I often hear of situations where drivers see if a hit pedestrian is okay, while simultaneously pressuring them into dismissing the injury. This is not.
Even if you feel no pain, it's important the driver stays at the scene through the following stages of this process. Don't be afraid to inconvenience the driver – you're not wasting anyone's time.
You've been hit and deserve the legal process to proceed.
The driver might also be impaired and not fit to drive. Letting them go may result in further harm to others.
Are you a victim of a hit and run?
Hit and runs happen all the time. Often drivers become scared of the repercussions (possibly due to intoxication). If possible, try to snap a photo of the license plate.
If you're a victim of a hit and run, read our blog post on What to Do If You're the Victim of a Hit & Run.
Memories can get hazy, so making sure you account for how you remember the incident unfolding is extremely important. Write down or use voice memos to record your version of events. This will be helpful when you talk to the police and the insurance company.
Where on your body are you in pain?
Do you have any visual marks due to the accident?
Is there any damaged or torn clothing? This may indicate injured areas of your body that may not be in immediate pain.
Contacting the police is important for a number of reasons.
While documenting the situation is extremely important, having a police record of events will legitimize the incident. Some insurance companies even require a police report, meaning this step is crucial if you plan on making a claim.
While having police at the scene in itself is helpful, it's extremely important that they hear your side of the story. You may be uncomfortable incriminating the driver – don't be! Your goal when talking to the police is making sure your version of events is accounted for.
Don't be afraid to ask the police what they have as facts so you can give your opinion of the truth.
If possible, collect statements and contact info from witnesses as well. This could be helpful in the event of a disputed accounting of the accident.
Taking photos of the scene, your injuries, and the driver's car will also be helpful. Air on the side of safety and take more than you think you need. You never know what little piece of information could be useful in a dispute.
No matter who you are talking to at the scene of the accident, never discuss fault. Even if you think you know what happened, you likely do not know exactly how the law will apply in this particular incident.
Anything said at the scene of the accident can and likely will be used against you by the insurance company in any post-accident legal proceedings. It's also not a good idea to speak at length with the motorist's insurance company. They do not have your best interests at heart.
The only person to speak to at any great length is an experienced personal injury attorney. They will help you say the right things and take the right actions.
Adam Greenman Law can help you if you've been hit by a car.
Call (503) 227-3800 or contact us today to schedule a free, confidential consultation.
If you haven't already, now is the time to be medically evaluated. Even if you feel okay, an evaluation is necessary to ensure there are no "hidden" injuries.
Not getting medically evaluated could even make it more difficult to file an insurance claim if you start to experience pain later.
Once you've received medical care, you should start the insurance process.
It's crucial that early in the process you call a personal injury attorney. They will help you receive the money you deserve to cover medical expenses, physical and emotional distress, and any damage to personal property.
Many insurance companies will even try to place fault on you and deny all of your claims. An experienced attorney can help you avoid this and make sure you are properly compensated. They'll help protect your rights and financial situation.
Have you been hit by a car and need advice? Contact me to discuss confidentiality what can be done and how to protect you legal rights.

FTA Awards $11M in TOD Grants
The Chicago Transit Authority will receive $800,000 to plan for TOD at four proposed stations along 5.6-miles of its Red Line L train subway line.
Via DePaul University-Jeff Carrion
The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) announced the award of approximately $11 million to 20 projects in 12 states to support comprehensive planning efforts to improve access to public transportation. Funding through FTA's Pilot Program for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Planning grants will help organizations plan for transportation projects that connect communities and improve access to transit and affordable housing.
"Transit-oriented development offers easier, more affordable access to jobs, health care, school, shopping, and other daily needs," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. "We're pleased to award this funding to help more communities develop around transit in a way that reduces pollution, increases economic opportunity, and contributes to affordable housing."
FTA's Pilot Program for TOD Planning supports local planning and strategies to increase transit access and encourage ridership through mixed-use and mixed-income development near public transportation projects. This year's selected projects support President Biden's call to combat climate change, advance environmental justice, and promote equitable delivery of benefits to underserved communities.
"Equitable transit-oriented development helps those at the local level respond to climate change and affordable housing challenges, particularly in underserved communities," said FTA Administrator Nuria Fernandez. "Our goal is to create access for all Americans who ride transit by encouraging mixed-use, mixed-income development around new transit projects. I hope that communities will join with FTA to accelerate transit-oriented development by addressing zoning and planning changes that will increase mixed income and affordable housing around transit hubs and stations."
Some of the selected projects include:
The City of Phoenix Public Transit Department in Arizona will receive $920,000 to plan for TOD at 11 stations proposed along a five-mile streetcar line to connect activity centers in the city of Mesa.
The Chicago Transit Authority in Illinois will receive $800,000 to plan for TOD at four proposed stations along 5.6-miles of its Red Line L train subway line.
The Berkeley-Charleston-Dorchester Council of Governments in South Carolina will receive $860,000 to plan for TOD on its proposed 21.5-mile Lowcountry Rapid Transit bus rapid transit corridor.
A list of all selected projects is available online. Information on previously funded projects can be found here. Planning projects were selected for funding based on criteria described in the Notice of Funding Opportunity.

Genesis 42: Now we're paying for what we did to our brother.
As a famine crushes the region only Egypt, under Joseph's rule, prospers. Soon, those from the surrounding nations are coming to Egypt, ready to pay any price for grain. In time, aged Jacob sends his sons to Egypt and for the first time in the over 20 years since they sold him into slavery the brothers come face to face with the one they terribly mistreated. When they don't recognize him, Joseph uses his authority to find out what kind of men his brothers have become. If one of them is put in jeopardy, will they abandon him as they abandoned Joseph long ago? With Simeon held back, the others are free to go. As I hear the conversation they have I'm taken with the enduring and debilitating power of guilt. They say to one another: "Now we're paying for what we did to Joseph." The truth of the matter is that all these years they've been paying for their terrible deed and dark secret. These are men haunted by their past and I have the idea that through the years they've thought or said these words every time some unexpected difficulty rose. People think they're getting away with something just because no one knows but that's never true. Not only is it untrue on the big stage, at the Judgment Day level; it's also true in day-to-day living. In this case it's a wound that time will not heal and the only resolution is to confess and take appropriate action to make things right.
Take away: Some things never heal until they're exposed to the light.

Baskery
Swedish country
By James M. Manheim | texmeister2@yahoo.com
Aug 21, 2010 | Event Reviews, Uncategorized | 0 |
The Swedish sister trio Baskery has been compared to the Dixie Chicks, and indeed sisterly harmonies and good looks are part of their presentation. They call their music "banjo punk," and in their spare, driving sound and their circular harmonic patterns there is certainly some punk attitude. Really, they land somewhere in between the Dixie Chicks and Old Crow Medicine Show, but that's true of a number of bands, and it's not what's attracting attention to this one in alt-country circles.
Instead it's the lyrics and language. Swedes from ABBA to the brains behind Britney Spears have attracted English-speaking audiences with lyrics that are idiomatic yet just off-center enough to stick in your head, and Baskery does the same. Country music, though, presents a special case: it's unusually dense with textual conventions, and it is Baskery's way of encountering these as if for the first time and going their own way with them that makes their music so appealing.
Their songs tell of restlessness, love and breakups, music itself, and sometimes violence. All are country music themes of long standing, but Baskery creates fresh takes on them. "There's one horse down in a one-horse town…," they sing. "I live for the river. Don't we all? Don't we all?" "I know nothing 'bout guitar, but I'm playing my guitar. This place is filled with dudes trying to prove who they are." Or "If you kill me, you'll simply miss me, boy. And if you kill me, make sure you bury me deep. 'Cause I will follow you, track you down, and I will haunt you." There's also social critique in some of Baskery's songs, something that American country music included for much of its history but has lately forgotten.
The Ark is bringing two Swedish country acts to the club in the same week, which is all to the good (the other is Abalone Dots, appearing with Sam & Ruby on August 31). Baskery's concert, part of the Ark's Take a Chance Tuesday series on August 24, is free, but bring nonperishable food items to donate to Food Gatherers. Baskery performs another free show in Liberty Plaza on August 26 (see 5 Thursday "Sonic Lunch" listing) and a show Aug 25 at Live at PJ's.

Moving to Yokosuka, Japan. Questions!
Not going to read all the posts as they are so out dated but I will give my basic recollection of the time I spent back in 1951....and that was during the occupation so things were vastly different then.
First thing was (no specific order) counting the money, how much is this, thank you, your welcome, good morning/good afternoon/good evening, where is the Bathroom, come here, when to bow, NO shaking hands (those days past), plus some other things I have to stop and remember...has been a while for me.
Still remember how to say all of the above even after all these years.
As for Mt Fuji, I was stationed (Camp McNair, tent City) on the East side slope near Lake Yamanaka and Yoshida was close by also.
You shouldn't have a problem getting a job. Look up Naval Hospital Yokosuka for job openings.
Never stationed in mainland Japan so can not answer questions about Yokosuka, but lived in Japan for 14 yrs and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it! Such a wonderful place to be stationed, and so much travel to take advantage of. Enjoy for both of us!
Arriving at Narita International Airport.
Note: Money Exchanges are located throughout the arrival terminal.
Those traveling on official orders have priority and all other are on a space available status only. There is a CFAY Narita bus for return from Narita International Airport to Yokosuka.
Buses depart at: 1500 – 1645 - 1830 and 2100 from Terminal # 1. Sign up is located at the Military Liaison Counter in terminal 1.
In either case, stop off at the information counter in the terminal after you have cleared customs to get the time(s) of the next train departing from Narita Airport.
If going via the JR Line – Ask when the next train for Yokosuka is schedule to depart.
JR YOKOSUKA LINE – Trains are silver with a blue and cream colored stripe.
Once again following the signs directing you to the basement level/B1 – There will be a green and white bilingual sign note JR Line. Go to the ticket machine and purchase a Y2520 ticket at one of the machines. Check the bilingual electric departure time sign near the gate for the next JR departure to either Tokyo, Zushi, Yokosuka or Kurihama Stations. (Note: Kurihama is the next and final station on the line after Yokosuka. While all of the trips will get you to Yokosuka, you really desire to be on the train specifically destined for Yokosuka. Since you are boarding at the start of the run, you should be able to get a seat. Note that some of the cars are reserved and require a reserved ticket but reserved tickets cost additional money. Once on the Yokosuka Line train, you stay on until you reach Yokosuka JR Station.
In both cases above, when exiting the station, place your ticket in the wicket and pass thru.
If you have purchased a cheaper ticket the go to the yellow fare adjustment machine and insert your ticket, press English and the amount due (If any) appears on the screen. Enter that amount. Note: Over-payments are not refunded.
Upon exit from the station - you can take a taxi to your hotel or the base. The taxi fare start at Y660.
Both stations are close to the base (5 – 10 minutes walking distance – Yokosuka Chuo brings you to the heart of the business district and Yokosuka JR is right on the water.
Yokosuka Chuo is closer to the Central and New Yokosuka Hotels whereas the JR Station is closer to the Prince Hotel.
On the JR line there is a Narita Express train that heads to Tokyo but ultimately you will have wait for the Yokosuka train anyway so avoid.
I PERSONALLY LIKE THE KEISEI TRAIN BECAUSE I LIVE BEYOND YOKOSUKA CHUO STATION AND IT IS MORE CONVENIENT FOR ME RATHER THAN THE JR LINE – The fare is cheaper on the Keisei/Keikyu line but you do have to change trains.
My husband and I are thinking about moving to Yokosuka, Japan for his next assignment. Is anyone a RN out there? Do you know how I would go about getting a nursing position at the medical facility on base? I work at a civilian hospital now and I've never worked in a navy hospital so I don't know who to contact, licensing, requirements, etc. Also how long is the wait for housing? He's E-6 and we have 1 baby and a dog. Any information would be great, thanks!
Hi, I'm also an RN and was wondering if you were ever able to find a job there in Yokosuka? I tried USA jobs but no positions are opened . Any other info you can provide is appreciated, thank you !

Marshalls Complete Two New Buildings at Capitol Park, Barnsley
Leading Yorkshire developers CDP Marshall have completed two new speculative buildings at the successful Capitol Park Barnsley at Junction 37 of the M1.
Unit B, which comprises 23,900 sq ft of prime industrial space, has already been let to Yorkshire conservatory specialists SolarFrame Holdings. SolarFrame has signed a 10-year lease at a rent of £5.75 per sq ft.
The 15,000 sq ft Unit C is available for sale or to lease, with immediate occupation.
Both buildings are located on a 12.63-acre site, which was granted planning permission for general industrial use, together with storage and distribution facilities. Once fully developed, 500 jobs will be created at the latest phase of development at Capitol Park, as it is transformed into a quality industrial and business location.
CDP Marshall has worked closely with Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and Enterprising Barnsley to bring forward the development.
Chris Marshall from CDP Marshall said: "Our decision to develop these two buildings speculatively has been vindicated by the deal with SolarFrame, who signed on practical completion of Unit B. SolarFrame's decision to move here is a resounding endorsement of Capitol Park, Barnsley, which is already established as one of the finest mixed-use business parks in South Yorkshire.
"The site is now recognised as a first-class location for business, having a very significant impact on the local economy, contributing to a very prosperous future for Barnsley."
"We are very grateful for the support we have received from Barnsley MBC's Property Investment Fund. This has enabled us to build speculatively at a time when very few other Yorkshire developers are doing so," he added.
Steve Taylor, the owner of SolarFrame, added "Our superb new premises fit in perfectly with our expansion plans. The location is ideal, at the heart of Yorkshire's excellent motorway network, while the quality of the building and its facilities are exactly what we need."
Rebecca Schofield, partner and head of property consultancy Knight Frank's industrial property team in Yorkshire, who is advising Marshalls, commented: "The completion of these two quality buildings, coupled with the SolarFrame deal, is tremendous news for Capitol Park.
"At the same time, CDP Marshall must be recognized for their willingness to speculatively develop on the back of their confidence in the industrial market in Yorkshire''
Cllr Roy Miller, a Cabinet Spokesperson for Place at Barnsley Council, said: "We are delighted that SolarFrame, a growing local manufacturing business, has been able to expand within Barnsley.
"Our highly successful Property Investment Fund was established to work proactively with the private sector to provide first class commercial developments, for growing local companies and inward investors, at key locations throughout the borough and Capitol Park is a perfect example of what can be achieved by doing so.
"We look forward to continuing to support SolarFrame as they grow and create local jobs in the borough," added Cllr Miller
Iain McPhail, the partner with Knight Frank's industrial property team in Leeds, added: "The location of Capitol Park Barnsley is key. "It is already proving very popular with new occupiers including Gem Imports and the NHS, who have a blood facility on site. In light of the swift SolarFrame deal, we expect strong interest in Unit C, which has been built to a high specification, with fitted office accommodation, complementing the quality industrial space."
SolarFrame were represented by Andrew Corbett of leading South Yorkshire chartered surveyors Smiths.

Misconduct in Congress: Democratic Representative John Conyers of Michigan announced his immediate retirement after allegations that he sexually harassed former staffers surfaced, prompting calls for him to resign. Republican leaders are gradually restoring their support for Roy Moore, the senatorial candidate from Alabama, as the mounting accusations that he pursued and harassed teenage girls failed to prevent him from regaining his lead in Alabama polls. And the systemic problems that foster sexual misconduct in Congress run deeper than a few individuals' bad behavior: Michelle Cottle maps out a taxonomy of creepiness on Capitol Hill.
Trump in Turmoil: President Trump is reportedly planning to declare that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and, eventually, to move the U.S. embassy there from Tel Aviv—an announcement that, when it comes, is likely to spark violent protests and hamper Israeli–Palestinian peace negotiations. Back home, Trump's comments on Michael Flynn's indictment for lying to the FBI renewed concerns that the president may have obstructed justice, but Alan Dershowitz, a lawyer, recently defended Trump against those critiques. Dershowitz's argument, writes David Frum, has dangerous implications.
Violence Prevention: House Republicans plan to vote this week on a bill that would significantly loosen gun laws by making concealed-carry permits from individual states valid in other states as well—and hope to attract support by attaching a bipartisan measure to strengthen the federal background-check system. Meanwhile, as high-profile police shootings have focused public attention on racial biases in the criminal-justice system, Taylor Hosking retells the history of how black police officers have worked to reform their departments from within.
Over the past several months, I've spoken with dozens of people who have known the vice president throughout his life—from college fraternity brothers and longtime friends to trusted advisers and political foes. (Pence himself declined my requests for an interview.) While many of them expressed surprise and even bewilderment at the heights of power Pence had attained, those who know him best said he sees no mystery in why he's in the White House. "If you're Mike Pence, and you believe what he believes, you know God had a plan," says Ralph Reed, an evangelical power broker and a friend of the vice president's.
Pence has so far showed absolute deference to the president—and as a result he has become one of the most influential figures in the White House, with a broad portfolio of responsibilities and an unprecedented level of autonomy. But for all his aw-shucks modesty, Pence is a man who believes heaven and Earth have conspired to place him a heartbeat—or an impeachment vote—away from the presidency. At some crucial juncture in the not-too-distant future, that could make him a threat to Trump.
Keep reading here as McKay recounts how Trump's behavior may have already led Pence to contemplate a coup—during the campaign—and considers where the vice president's ambition might lead him next.
December marks the 10-year anniversary of the Great Recession, and its scars remain in a sicker, more unequal, more racially divided country. The Santillan family, profiled by Alana Semuels, is one of millions that suffered long-term disruption in the effort to become homeowners and build wealth. Despite Republican arguments to the contrary, nonpartisan analyses suggest that the GOP tax plan would do little to help such families, funneling far more money to the wealthy and corporations than to people in middle- and low-income brackets.
1. ____________ percent of 40-year-old inventors today are male.
2. ____________ U.S. states have fewer residents than L.A. County.
3. The digital currency ____________ was developed from a 2008 white paper written under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto.
While we may not know the full effects of the Republican tax plan for years to come, some things are clear: It'll bring some serious changes for commuters, renters, and retirees—and could kill a million affordable homes.
San Francisco's new memorial to "comfort women," the first of its kind in a major U.S. city, was recently unveiled after years of contentious debate—and it isn't sitting well with San Francisco's sister city Osaka, Japan.
I think income and geography play a huge role in this. My brother and brother-in-law are stay-at-home dads. They both have really traditional families; it is just that the wives make a ton of money … Many liberals see different roles being portrayed by wealthy people with strong families. In rural areas and less-developed parts of the U.S., most nontraditional families are poor … It makes sense that people would see this and get scared.
It reminds me of a guy I worked with from the South. He asked me whether a multimillion-dollar condo building was public housing. I could not stop laughing, but to him only poor people lived in apartments. He could not believe that people would pay more than 1 million dollars for a one-bedroom, or many millions for a massive unit.
