Q: Windows VPN server can talk to VPN clients, but won't send packets from its local network to the VPN clients I want to configure Windows Server 2012, and its Windows 7 and Windows 8 VPN clients, with an SSTP VPN that uses split tunneling and off-subnet addressing, but I'm running into a problem: the RRAS server will not send packets to VPN clients from any machine other than itself.
My VPN server is running on Amazon's "Virtual Private Cloud", so it has only one NIC with an IP address on a private, RFC1918 network shared with all my other Amazon VPC servers, and a public IP which forwards all traffic to that private address via NAT (Amazon calls this "Elastic IP").
I've installed RRAS and set up a VPN. The private subnet on Amazon is 172.16.0.0/17 (this is what I'm calling the "Amazon LAN"), but I want all the VPN clients to use the range 10.128.0.0/20 (what I'm calling the "VPN LAN").
In my Amazon control panel, I've done the following:

*

*Disabled the source/destination check for the VPN server

*Added an entry into the route tables for the 10.128.0.0/20 pool that points to the network interface of the VPN server.

Inside the Routing and Remote Access MMC, inside the properties menu for the server name, I've done the following:

*

*General tab -> IPv4 Router (checked), enabled for LAN and demand-dial routing

*General tab -> IPv4 Remote Access Server (checked)

*IPv4 tab -> Enable IPv4 Forwarding (checked)

*IPv4 tab -> Static Address Pool, and specify 10.128.0.1-10.128.15.154

On my client and all my servers, I've made sure that ICMP is explicitly allowed in the firewall, or the firewall is disabled entirely (not the permanent plan, of course).
On the client, to enable split tunneling, I've gone to the properties for the VPN connection -> Networking -> IPv4 -> Propeties -> Advanced -> IP Settings tab, and unchecked "Use default gateway on remote network", and checked "Disable class based route addition".
At this point, my clients can connect using the Windows 7/8 VPN client. They are assigned an IP from the 10.128.0.0/20 pool, but since they aren't automatically setting any routes, they can't talk to the remote network. I can set routes to the remote network, and to the VPN network, like this (on the client):
route add 172.16.0.0/17 <VPN IP ADDRESS>
route add 10.128.0.0/20 <VPN IP ADDRESS>

Now the client can ping the VPN LAN address of the VPN server (10.128.0.1), and also its Amazon LAN address (172.16.1.32). It runs into a problem, though, when trying to talk to other machines on the Amazon LAN: pings don't receive replies.
So, for example, if the client tries to ping a system that I know is up and responds to pings like 172.16.0.113, it won't see those replies (it says "Request timed out"). Wireshark on the VPN server confirms that it sees the ping from the client, and it even sees a reply sent from 172.16.0.113, but that reply apparently never makes it back to the client.
Furthermore, if I ping the client's VPN LAN address from 172.16.0.113, Wireshark on the VPN server sees the ping, but doesn't see a reply.
So, to recap:

*

*The VPN server can ping other machines on the Amazon LAN (172.16.0.0/17) and receive replies, and other machines on that network can do the same to it.

*A VPN client can ping the server's Amazon LAN address and receive replies, after the clients adds the proper route as described previously.

*A VPN client can ping the server's VPN LAN address of 10.128.0.1, and the VPN server can ping the client's VPN LAN address in the 10.128.0.0/20 range, after the client adds the route proper route as described previously.

*A VPN client can send pings to a machine on the Amazon LAN, but when those machines send replies, they stop at the VPN server - they don't get forwarded on to the client, resulting in "Request timed out" messages on the client. Conversely, when a machine on the Amazon LAN tries to ping the client's 10.128.0.0/20 VPN LAN address, the VPN server sees the ping, but the client never does and therefore doesn't generate a reply.

Why isn't the VPN server sending packets from the Amazon LAN down to its clients on the VPN LAN? It can definitely talk to the clients on the VPN LAN, and routing is enabled, and it's willing to route the packets from VPN LAN -> Amazon LAN, but not the reverse. What am I missing here?
Routes
Here are the routing tables from a VPN client. The client is a VirtualBox VM running Windows 8. It's vbox adapter's IP address is 10.0.2.15 on a /24. This client is behind NAT (actually, it's behind double-NAT, because the vbox adapter is NAT'd to my local network, which is NAT'd to the Internet). This route table is from after manually adding the routes to 10.128.0.0/20 and 172.16.0.0/17.

Here are the routing tables from the RRAS server, which is running Windows Server 2012. This server is also behind NAT, as discussed above. It only has one NIC. Its private IP address is 172.16.1.32, on a /23 (that is itself part of a larger /17 network; I believe it's fair to ignore the parts of the /17 outside of the /23, since other machines on the /23 can't reach or be reached by VPN clients either).
The VPN virtual adapter has its own address, 10.128.0.1, which is assigned automatically the first time a client connects. The routes for 10.128.0.1 (to itself) and 10.128.0.2 (to its only client) that you see are also added automatically at that time. No routes are added to the VPN server manually.

Here are the routing tables for another machine on the server's private network, also running Server 2012. It has one NIC, which has a private IP address of 172.16.1.177 - which means it's on the same /23 that the VPN server is. (Note that the route to the 10.128.0.0/20 is set on the gateway, which is controlled by Amazon, so you won't see it here. I have added the correct route to Amazon, evidenced by the fact that Wireshark on the VPN server sees the packets.)

Here are the routes in the Amazon console. I do think these are correct - the traffic is making it back to the VPN server, after all, only to disappear inside of it - but in case someone wants to see them, here they are. (Amazon does things a little weird. eni-2f3e8244 / i-77e26440 refers to the NIC on the VPN server, and igw-d4bc27bc refers to the Amazon-controlled Internet NAT/gateway that all of my instances use to talk to the Internet.)
10.128.0.0/20   eni-2f3e8244 / i-77e26440
172.16.0.0/17   local
0.0.0.0/0       igw-d4bc27bc

A: What if you add a static route on your servers telling them that in order to reach 10.128.0.0/20 they have to go through the VPN's server LAN address?
route add 10.128.0.0 mask 255.255.240.0 a.b.c.d

Substitute a.b.c.d with the VPN server's LAN address.
This will, at least, rule out problems with amazon's routing.

HCL Tech Board Clears Up to Rs 4000 Cr. Buyback Plan
Indian IT company HCL Technologies today said its board has approved up to Rs 4,000 crore buyback plan, involving up to 3.63 crore shares at a price of Rs 1,100 per equity share.
The buyback price translates into a 9.4 per cent premium over Thursday's closing price of HCL Tech shares. The move by the company comes less than a month after its larger IT peer Tata Consultancy Services approved a plan to buyback shares up to Rs 16,000 crore. In a regulatory filing today, HCL Technologies said: "…the board of directors of the company, in its meeting held today…have approved the buy-back of up to 3,63,63,636 fully paid up equity shares of the company of face value of Rs 2 each…at a price of Rs 1,100 per equity share payable in cash…"
The total number of shares that the company proposes to buy back represents 2.61 per cent of fully paid up equity shares of the company, while the buyback size stands at up to Rs 4,000 crore. "The buy back is proposed to be made from the shareholders of the company on a proportionate basis, through the tender offer route…," the statement added. It is subject to the approval of the shareholders of the company through special resolution, it said.
As on July 11, 2018, promoter and promoters group held just over 60 per cent of the existing equity share capital of the company, while the holding of foreign investors stood at 26.85 per cent. Indian financial institutions alongwith banks, insurance companies and alternate investments funds held close to four per cent in the company, and Mutual Funds another 5.51 per cent. The shareholding of Bodies corporate and trusts, and resident individuals stood at about 0.94 per cent and 2.45 per cent, respectively. Shares of HCL Technologies closed 1.03 per cent higher on the BSE to Rs 1,005.3 apiece on Thursday. – Financial Express

Criminal Mentions CourtsCurrently selected
An accused person is produced at a Criminal Mentions Court when the prosecution is ready to formally file charges against him, no longer than 48 hours after his arrest and remand. There are two criminal mentions courts in State Courts: one deals with District Arrest Cases (DACs) and the other deals with Magistrates' Arrest Cases (MACs).
At the Criminal Mentions Court, the charge is read and explained to the accused person. The Judge can also sentence accused persons who plead guilty. Where accused persons intend to plead guilty to certain categories of offences, the Judge will transfer these cases to one of the sentencing courts.
The Judge also hears and grants appropriate applications of the prosecution or the accused persons including bail applications, applications to detain an accused person for further investigations and applications to engage defence counsel. When an accused person claims trial, the Judge fixes the case for a pre-trial conference before trial dates are decided by the Court.

Mike Leake walks a ridgeline during a spring 2013 trip into the Alaska Range, near Telkeenta.
With winter right around the corner, I imagine most people are preparing as they always do, with dry land training, sets at the gym, dusting off gear, and watching ski movies. For many these are fall rituals. Mine are typically right along those lines, and of course, this goes hand in hand with great anticipation. But what happens when this ritual is disrupted by a potentially lifestyle changing disease? This year my anticipation for winter has a bit different feel than years past. It brings a sense of appreciation and perspective.
This past spring I began to experience some unusual aches and pains, primarily throughout my joints coming in waves. Over a short period of time, a few weeks to be exact, the aches and pains grew significantly worse, limiting my flexibility and my joints swelling to abnormal proportions. At this point, I could tell something was off and concerns set in.
Mike, climbing one of the slopes he and the team hit in the Alaska range earlier this year.
Fearing the worst, doctor visits, labs and testing began. Symptoms grew worse and worse, and I began to face the fact that this could be the end of my skiing career, or worse. It got to the point where simple movements were painful and I dropped everything I touched because my hands were too swollen and sore to grip. At first, my symptoms were a likely candidate for rheumatoid arthritis, however, that was ruled out through testing. The usual cancers (pancreatic, testicular, etc.) were also cleared. Thank God. By then the doctors seemed stumped and though I was cleared of many things, there were still no answers. Neither of us would admit it, but both my fiancée and I still feared the worst.
After relentlessly researching my symptoms online, we decided to try removing gluten from my diet. Though some of my symptoms were indicative of Celiac Disease, many of them were not, and this seemed like of a long shot. At the same time, Celiac Disease has a wide range of symptoms and is a fairly uncommon and under-researched disease.
Low and behold, after a week or so of cutting gluten out of my diet my symptoms did show signs of improvement. I went in to the doctor for more testing and mentioned my improvements and change in diet. It was still unlikely that Celiac Disease was the cause but we convinced them to test for it anyways. The next week, my doctor called with results. I was officially diagnosed with Celiac Disease and possibly Angioneurotic Edema. While the seriousness of these conditions are not to be taken lightly, I cannot express the relief I felt to find out that it was not worse, much worse. I can deal with these conditions largely through my diet, which compared to many things, is a huge win!
It's been a month since the doctor gave me the diagnoses and my body is, for the most part, back to normal. Not only has the swelling mostly subsided, but cutting gluten from my diet has improved my overall nutrition. I'm starting to prepare for the ski season and am learning to use these diet changes to my nutritional advantage. As the air becomes crisp, I'm filled with not only excitement, but also gratitude. I'm feeling less pressure than I have in years past, and am quite ready for a winter of simply enjoying being on my skis. My usual goals for winter include things like shooting photos, acquiring publications, generating content for film or video spots, etc. Honestly, after a summer of battling with thoughts like "what if I can't do what I love to do," this winter is simply about cherishing each turn.
I would like to wish everyone a happy, fun, and safe winter. Start on those fall rituals, get out there and enjoy it!
Mikey Leake skiing the Alaska Range, spring 2013.
Mike "Mikey" Leake skis for Marmot, Scarpa, Grand Targhee, Alyeska Resort, Marker, GoPro, and Smith. His skiing takes him around the world, but he has roots in the Teton Valley region of southeastern Idaho and western Wyoming. He writes about skiing, riding, and gear for The Rocky Mountain Post in his Teton Freeride blog.
So glad you've figured it out Mike. Here's to a great season!

Q: How to unselect feature after selecting all I have a map with a vector layer with some features.
var map = new ol.Map({
  view: mapManager.zoomedView(),
  target: 'map-business',
  layers: [
    new ol.layer.Tile({
      source: new ol.source.OSM()
    })
  ]
})
var vectorSource = new ol.source.Vector();

var feats;
$.get( "/test.geojson", function( data ) {
  vectorSource.addFeatures(new ol.format.GeoJSON().readFeatures(data))
  feats = new ol.format.GeoJSON().readFeatures(data)
});
var vectorLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
  source: vectorSource,
  style: new ol.style.Style({
    fill: mapManager.defaultFill(),
    stroke: mapManager.defaultStroke()
  })
});

map.addLayer(vectorLayer);

Then I add a select interaction because I want to unselect/select features
var selectSingleClick = new ol.interaction.Select({
  condition: ol.events.condition.click,
  toggleCondition: ol.events.condition.click,
  style: new ol.style.Style({
    fill: mapManager.selectFill(),
    stroke: mapManager.selectStroke()
  })
});

map.addInteraction(selectSingleClick);

Now I want to select all features by default
var selectableFeatures = selectSingleClick.getFeatures()
selectableFeatures.push(feats[i])

It is ok, all my features are selected by default. Problem is that I can not unselect my features. If I click on a feature, the feature is selected again.

A: I would do something like:
var vectorSource = new ol.source.Vector({
  format: new ol.format.GeoJSON,
  url: '/test.geojson'
});

var vectorLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
  source: vectorSource,
  // ...
});

map.addLayer(vectorLayer);

var featuresInteraction = new ol.Collection();
var selectSingleClick = new ol.interaction.Select({
  features: featuresInteraction, // <-- pushing and removing from/to this collection variable
  // ...
});
map.addInteraction(selectSingleClick);

// GeoJSON was async loaded, so wait until is ready
vectorSource.once('addfeature', function(evt) {
  // add to select collection
  featuresInteraction.extend(vectorSource.getFeatures());

  // some time later to remove selected
  window.setTimeout(function() {
    featuresInteraction.clear();
  }, 2000);
});

HOW TO HELP -- Ellicott City Parternship
Ellicott City encompasses 30 square miles of the northeastern corner of Howard County, Maryland, but to people from the western suburbs of Baltimore, the name refers to the charming shops along a single street in a small granite ravine.
I enjoyed frequent visits to Ellicott City during my days as a student at UMBC, and once even walked the seven miles from my apartment just to enjoy a stroll along Main Street. The first breakfast of our honeymoon was enjoyed there, and we visit any time we find ourselves visiting family, including my in-laws who live in a modern condo perched high above College Avenue. I most recently blogged about Main Street in 2012, shortly after taking a haunted tour of our old haunts.
We enjoyed shopping in Ellicott City just over a week ago, and were thus all the more shocked to learn of the devastation that took place there last night. Notice on the map above that several streams converge near the upper end of Main Street and then disappear into buried channels.
Last night SIX INCHES of rain fell in this area in just two hours.
Estimates from Doppler Radar show the greatest intensity of rainfall centered over this narrow valley, and local rain gauges indicated even greater intensity. The results were devastating -- a beautiful streetscape gutted in a very short period.

Rushing waters quickly undermined buildings, some of which may not be salvageable. More than 100 people were rescued from automobiles and from the Phoenix Emporium at the bottom of the hill by heroic firefighters, police, and civilians.
From Baltimore Sun archives --
Photos from previous floods.
Notice the 1868 marker ABOVE
the bridge.
During our most recent visit to Ellicott City, we noticed a great density of Pokemon hunters, which means that plenty of smartphones were on hand last night to document the damage as well as the rescues. For some of those images and videos, see Flood Destruction (Just In Weather) and State of Emergency (Howard County Patch). The arts community is vital in Ellicott City, and has already begun raising funds for recovery.
The fact that this flooding occurred where natural streams had been put into underground pipes reminds me of the successful daylighting project in Yonkers that I described earlier this year. Given the extreme intensity of last night's storm and the very narrow topography of the Main Street area, however, it is doubtful that a comparable project would have been enough to make a difference in last night's events.
Dan Somers recorded two minutes of cars being swept down Main Street during the flood.
YouTube user fatosh69 filmed 5 minutes from the window of a second-story restaurant. Warning: this is the most unsettling video of these events in real time. One local friend -- who recently survived a tornado -- describes this as horror-movie footage.
David Franklin Perry recorded a 20-minute walk-through with police during the night. He begins in the middle of the affected area, moves uphill and then back down to the base of Main Street.

Northern Ireland Brexit Summit is being held on February 13th 2019 in the Titanic Exhibition Centre Belfast.
Is Your Brexit Strategy Fit For Purpose?
The 2019 Northern Ireland Manufacturing & Supply Chain Expo will provide a forum for manufacturers and operators involved throughout the supply chain to gather to discuss pressing issues facing the industry. It will cover the full manufacturing spectrum, including the food and drink, biopharma, medtech, healthcare, construction, procurement, and precision engineering sectors.
How can you refine your company's Brexit preparations to take into account the latest developments in a seemingly unending saga?
This central dilemma and associated questions will be addressed in light of the most up-to-date information available at the Northern Ireland Brexit Summit, which is an integral part of the Northern Ireland Manufacturing & Supply Chain Expo, being held in the Titanic Exhibition Centre, Belfast on Wednesday, 13th of February.
Of course, Northern Ireland is unique in being the only part of the UK with a potential land border with the EU and this poses distinctive problems for local businesses of all types and sizes.
With some clarity now starting to dispel the cloud of uncertainty that has been hanging over Brexit since the referendum vote in 2016, the Northern Ireland Brexit Summit is timely. By the date of the Summit, the potential Brexit scenarios should be narrowing and a no-deal alternative, which would necessitate a hard border in Ireland, may well have been removed from the table.
A panel of experts has been assembled to provide practical advice now that the implications of Brexit for Northern Ireland businesses and their supply chains are becoming clearer. In addition to the challenges posed, the Summit will also highlight some of the opportunities.
In addition to Brexit, other issues high on the agenda at the Northern Ireland Manufacturing & Supply Chain Expo include the challenges and opportunities provided by constantly changing consumer demands, the rapid pace of technological advances in areas such as Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and robotics, along with heightening environmental concerns and intensifying competition both domestically and in international markets. Exhibition stands displaying the latest technological solutions and business services available will be an integral part of the event.
This may well be your last chance to check that your Brexit plans are fit for purpose.


In order to find the most suitable candidates, an organization will establish a dialogue with the applicants. Until very recently, this dialogue began mainly through written communication.
Then, with a bit of luck, an applicant could be invited to a personal interview. A personal meeting will provide a more comprehensive picture of a candidate than what appears from a formal CV. After all, expressing our ideas and skills in a personal way is always more convincing. It enables us to more clearly demonstrate various aspects of our personality and abilities. A «suitable candidate» is much more than mere facts on a piece of paper.
The demands of the 21st century brought increased awareness of the need to see that each employee represents much more than just the tasks to be performed. This awareness is affecting how new talent is being selected in the workplace. With advances in the field of human resources we realize that the value of an employee is no longer limited to a set of skills.
Personality plays a key role when a person is hired into a team or a project. Attitudes, body language, communication skills and how we relate to others are important elements in the selection process. A personal interview gives us an excellent opportunity to express our personality. When job selection is based solely on a piece of paper or a digital profile, both employer and the job applicant stand to lose.
When you apply for a job, your first question is probably this: Will they invite me to an interview? Such an invitation opens the door to an exchange that can be mutually beneficial to both sides. With the introduction of communication via video conferencing, the process became more streamlined. However, the job seeker must still be in a position to be chosen for a meeting.
Unfortunately, many competent people have been left out of the selection process before getting an opportunity to present their case. Fortunately, technology with a human face is now here to help.
The new ways of choosing talent no longer depend mainly on what the written language can tell us. How is it possible to make an adequate pre-selection if we lack important data? As we will see below, companies now have a new tool for conducting the selection in a more effective manner – video presentation of candidates.
The video is a format that, though it has been around for a while, now has really come of age and can show its full potential. This is also the case when it comes to hiring. Internet and faster data transfer allow access to video with much better audiovisual quality than just a few years ago. When an employer clicks on a link, he can see and hear the candidate who was previously little more than letters on a piece of paper.
Here are benefits for both the job applicant and the employer.
A short video presenting a candidate complements the CV in the selection process. We can instantly sense what the talent is, how it is expressed, the candidate's motivation and what he or she can tell us in a first encounter. The information contained in this presentation is valuable not only for non-verbal or communication reasons, but also for the message itself.
Candidates know that they are making a concise presentation, so they will try to present their most important points and personality features. This fast and efficient communication will reduce the risk that the best candidates are excluded from the selection process.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Imagine the value of a whole recorded minute!
A video presentation is a valuable opportunity to express ourselves without having to wait for an interview which may not happen. It is a fast and effective way to show who we are. In short, it is great opportunity to establish a relationship that is much more personal than what can be achieved with a CV. The short video of one minute or less can be the key that opens doors for your talent.
The video presentation is a tool with important advantages both for those in charge of the selection process and for the candidates.
•	It provides more relevant information to the pre-selection phase.
•	It shows the human side of the candidate.
•	It emphasizes various aspects of the CV and serves as the first contact before a possible interview.
•	In just one minute you will have put face and voice to your CV.
•	It gives the candidate the opportunity to show their communication skills and get the most relevant facts across.
•	It helps prevent surprises and saves time and resources in a later interview.
•	For the candidate, it may provide a competitive advantage over other applicants.
•	It can also help eliminate potential prejudices.
•	Applicants can have complete control of their video and can delete it whenever they wish.
These are some of the advantages, but we could mention a few more. Why not record a video presentation and see the result for yourself?
There is no single best rule for making a video presentation. Try to be yourself. Pay attention to what impression and what message you want to convey. And bear in mind that you only have one minute.
As with CVs, it is possible to create a presentation tailored to each job application. This will show special interest in the position, and you will more easily visualize how you can deliver on the requirements that the employer is looking for.
You can make a number of attempts until you achieve the result you want to send a potential employer. This will also give you useful communication training that will benefit you in a job interview.

New Park and Open Space Preserve Coming to Sonoma Coast
Ag + Open Space Transfers 335 Acres of Protected Land to Regional Parks
SANTA ROSA, CA (December 29, 2020) – Yesterday, the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District (Ag + Open Space), a special district dedicated to protecting our working and natural lands forever, transferred ownership of a 335-acre coastal property to Sonoma County Regional Parks. This land, known as Carrington Coast Ranch, will eventually open to the public as a regional park and open space preserve just north of Salmon Creek.
"This project has been a long time in the making, so it is extraordinary to see the vision become reality and soon our community will be able to enjoy the rolling grasslands and beautiful vistas that make this property such a gem," said Sonoma County 5th District Supervisor and Ag + Open Space Director Lynda Hopkins. "The conservation of our working and natural lands, including this new park and preserve, provides so many benefits to Sonoma County's diverse communities. These include addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation, offering a place for all people to enjoy nature, and showcasing stunning scenic landscapes that define our region."
Ag + Open Space purchased Carrington Coast Ranch in 2003 for $4.8 million. At the time, it was anticipated that the property would be transferred to and operated by California State Parks. However, due to budgetary constraints, State Parks was unable to accept title to the property. Ag + Open Space then began to work with Regional Parks on a potential park and open space preserve that would protect the ranch's scenic and natural resources, while also providing for public recreation.
Carrington Coast Ranch hosts a diversity of natural habitats, including coastal prairie, coastal scrub, freshwater and saltwater wetlands, and tidal marsh. Several special-status species, such as the Townsend big-eared bat, California red-legged frog, and American badger have been identified on the property. The ranch is primarily open grassland, which affords spectacular views of the ocean, and sequesters carbon to help mitigate the effects of climate change, ensuring this area will adapt to sea level rise. The future park and open space preserve will provide a critical segment of the 1,200-mile California Coastal Trail and link to public lands to the north and south. The development of public trails on the Carrington property will provide a safe route for hikers, cyclists and equestrians between Marshall Gulch and Salmon Creek.
"Ag + Open Space sought to conserve this magnificent property because of its amazing natural resources, significant wildlife habitat, beautiful scenic vistas, and the potential for it to become a place for the public to explore," said Caryl Hart, interim General Manager for Ag + Open Space. "As we know, the physical and mental health benefits of nature and the outdoors are needed now more than ever, and with sea levels expected to rise as a result of climate change, it is important that this land remains as open space."
Just north of Bodega Bay, the ranch is bordered by Sonoma Coast State Park to the west, a private ranch to the north, Salmon Creek to the south and a private property, also protected by an Ag + Open Space conservation easement, to the east. The Carrington property contains a homestead dating from before 1860, which consists of a residence, shed, sheep barn, and Monterey cypress trees.
"Full of local history and ecological significance, this striking property, with its sweeping views from Jenner to Salmon Creek, Bodega Dunes, and Bodega Head showcases the southern Sonoma Coast. The gentle coastal terrace will offer accessible trails and diverse nature experiences for residents and visitors," said Sonoma County Regional Parks Director Bert Whitaker. "We look forward to working with the community and our partners to steward the land and provide new opportunities for people to discover the magic of our coast."
Before the park can open for regular public access, Regional Parks will complete a master plan to guide the development of trails, recreational and educational uses, and stewardship of the natural resources. Public outreach for the planning process is set to begin in the summer of 2021. In the interim, Regional Parks will develop opportunities for the public to periodically access the park and preserve.

AFRL researchers explore automation, additive technologies for cost efficient solar power
by Air Force Office of Scientific Research

Inspired by newspaper printing, and taking cues from additive manufacturing technology, researchers at the Air Force Research Laboratory are exploring new ways to make solar cells more cost efficient—increasing application potential in the process.
"Sun is abundant, and it's free," said Dr. Santanu Bag, a project scientist at the Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, AFRL. "Solar cells can generate electricity in an environmentally friendly way, but current, complex fabrication costs make the technology expensive. We're looking at new ways to use materials and manufacturing technologies to make these less expensively."
Though research into solar cells began in the 1950s, the technology for making them is complex and labor intensive. At a basic level, to fabricate solar cells, engineers rely on extremely pure, single-crystalline silicon. The pure silicon is extracted from an original material such as quartz or sand and is transformed into thin wafers. The silicon wafers are chemically treated to form an electric field, with a positive and negative polarity. These silicon semiconductors, or solar cells, are encapsulated in a support to form a photovoltaic module, where they are then able to collect and transform sunlight into an electric current.
This multistep, labor intensive process is time-consuming and uses highly sophisticated equipment, requiring a number of technicians and engineers to create the end product. Quality control is key, as a discrepancy during any stage of the manufacturing process could have an effect on the performance of the cells.
This high cost of manufacturing has prohibited widespread use of solar power, despite its cost saving potential.
"If you want to make solar competitive, you need to make solar cells more efficient and cost effective," said Bag.
Inspired by the concept of newsprint where rolls of paper are printed with ink to create newspapers, Bag and his team looked for alternatives to inorganic, hard silicon in search of a material able to transform solar into energy—and be printed in the process.
"Silicon cells use purely inorganic materials, which by nature are very hard," said Bag. "We needed a material that was easy to print and at the same time able to capture sunlight. We determined an inorganic-organic hybrid material would be easy to print and could still harvest solar energy."
Bag's material of choice, thin-film perovskites, have an excellent light absorbing capability and power conversion efficiencies that have improved tremendously compared to the more than 30 years it took for silicon solar cells to improve to today's levels. Only recently has this material been explored for its solar power ability, with Bag among the researchers expanding the field.
"The material has been around since the 1990s and was used to make test-level, light-emitting diodes. Researchers knew it had solar ability, but this was not the focus at the time," said Bag.
In Bag's study, perovskite precursor material was atomized using ultrasonic waves to form extremely fine, aerosol droplets able to be transferred into the print nozzle of an aerosol-jet spray printer. Using computer-aided design tool paths, a surface was then coated with the material using the direct-write printer, forming a solar cell with a 15.4 percent efficiency on a flat surface.
Bag and his team also demonstrated the ability to print these solar cells on a 3-D surface with a 5.4 percent efficiency—marking the first time this has been shown in the field of printed photovoltaics.
"We have not optimized conditions for 3-D printing of these yet, but we know it can be done. Once you know how to print it, it has huge potential for other applications," said Bag.
For the Air Force, the applications for this material and the new printing process are enormous. The method can be used to print flexible solar cells on clothing, to create self-powered robotics and light-emitting devices and even to make flexible, self-powered sensors, to name a few.
Bag, along with fellow researchers Dr. Michael Durstock, Soft Matter Materials Branch Chief at the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate, and James Deneault, a research engineer at Universal Technology Corporation, have filed a patent application for the technology. Though this research is still in its early stages, the impact of the new manufacturing processes has great potential for the future.
"Understanding ways to make and print this material more efficiently at the most basic level can lead to future cost savings," Bag concluded.

UPDATE: The National Park Service has issued a warning to swimmers in the Santa Barbara Channel. Watch out for Great Whites this holiday weekend!
A flurry of shocking Great White Shark activity has Santa Barbara residents staying out of the water, fearing for their very lives as a series of shark attacks and sightings have rocked this normally peaceful beach town and shaken ocean-goers to their core.
Soon after the poor sea lion was dispatched in gruesome fashion, the body of a Great White Shark was found washed up on the beach near the infamously shark-y Rincon Point. Surfers beware – even the directors of Santa Barbara's Junior Lifeguard program have suspended operations because of the attack's close location to shore. It appears that every time someone steps into the ocean in Santa Barbara County, they are leaving their life in the hands of Carcharias Carcharodon.
A day later, Rincon beach-goers rescued yet another shark pup and sent it back in to the ocean. Given the sheer quantity of shark pup sightings, it sounds to us as if the Santa Barbara coastline is a Great White Shark breeding ground. Who wants to dive in and do the research?
If one thing is clear, it's this: Santa Barbara residents are advised to stay out of the ocean as much as possible – that is, if you don't want to be lunch for the next Great White Shark that comes along.


In its most recent earnings statement, toymaker and licensor Hasbro reported that its gaming unit revenue for the second quarter was up significantly over last year. Its franchise brand revenues, driven by growth in games like Monopoly, resulted in a 21 percent revenue increase for the company, to $545.7 million. What does that mean for fanboys and fangirls? Not only is Monopoly thriving, the 115-year-old marathon board game about real estate that we've all played over the years is here to stay. Although it was slow to adapt to computing (the bootleg game Monopole was popular before then-owner Parker Brothers jumped in), to keep up with the times Monopoly partnered with municipalities, sports teams, movies, and other brands to keep Monopoly fresh. What? You missed the U.S. Navy edition? The Ford Thunderbird edition? The Superman Returns and Pokémon editions? The Heinz, Doctor Who, and Batman and Robin editions?
It's time to go there and back again, sci-fi style. You can pre-order Monopoly: Planet of the Apes Retro Art Edition now here at Entertainment Earth or here at Amazon, available everywhere next month.

Teyateyaneng is a town located in the district of Berea in Lesotho. Usually abbreviated to T.Y., Teya-Teyaneng means 'place of quick sands'. Teyateyaneng is also the camptown for the district of Berea. In 2005 it had a population of 75,115.
Teyateyaneng is located about 40 kilometers north of the national capital of Maseru on the Main North One, a road that runs parallel to the South African border leading to the north. The city is situated on a high plateau at about 1600 meters altitude.
Teyateyaneng was founded in 1886 as the capital of Berea by then Chief Masupha. The 1986 centennial was celebrated with sports tournaments and handing out of sponsored T-shirts to participants. The town is the birthplace of politician 'Matlelima Hlalele.
Teyateyaneng has several retail businesses and carpet-producing factories.
The Lioli FC is a football club based in Teyateyaneng. In 1985 the team won the national championship for the first time and again in 2009, it is now the Lesotho ground puller. In 2007 it won the Imperial Top 8 cup. Lioli FC are the Lesotho soccer champions of 2015 with the players Congo, Manqane, Ntate Masualle and Shabba.

The following cricketers all hail from Teyateyaneng: Spinner Leokaoke Lebona, pace bowlers Ian Osler and Thabiso Mohapi, who has been playing for the National Team since being 15 years old under the captaincy of Niels Wall, representing the country in Namibia (who currently plays cricket in the Top League in his home country Denmark), and the batsmen Thabang Mafereka and Ntate Banye.
The team NUL Vampires (representing the National University of Lesotho) was recently crowned Lesotho cricket league champions. They defeated Bails cricket by 129 runs. Vampires reached 192/4 and Bails only managed 62 (all out). Lebona was named man of the match with 75 runs and taking 4 wickets for 14 runs. Captain Lemphane scored 98, close to his ton. LP were the runners-up.
Other sporting disciplines are played at school level, where most of the future Town Stars are prepared.
There is a hospital and high schools in Teyateyaneng. Furthermore, around the city there are several rock caves with cave paintings of the San tribe. The images are of hunters and prey deer.

Originally slated to begin in April, the tour will now begin in July with new dates to be announced in the coming weeks. Jagger will need to rest after completing the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), sources say. The minimally invasive procedure allows Jagger to avoid major surgery — doctors are able to repair the heart valve using a a catheter that accesses a major artery without opening the chest.
The Stones are expected to make up nearly all the dates on their No Filter Tour, but won't be performing at Jazz Fest in New Orleans this year as previously planned. Earlier today, festival officials announced that Fleetwood Mac would be taking the band's place.
Reps for Jagger did not return a request for comment as of press time.

Q: ESM importing all files from folder with index.js not working Consider this very simple project: esm-test
Runs on Node.js v13.
This project has "type":"module" in his package.json so Node.js will treat by default all files .js as ECMAScript modules. See: ECMAScript Modules - Enabling.
It has the following very simple structure:
- package.json
- src/
  - stuff/
    - a.js
    - b.js
    - index.js
  - app.js

The file app.js is the package entry point.
My purpose is to import all files from stuff/ folder using the index.js file. I know that in ES6, having an index.js file in a folder lets you perform an import from the folder implicitly without specifying the index.js in the import statement.
So I can do:
import { a, b } from './stuff'

Instead of:
import a from './stuff/a.js'
import b from './stuff/b.js'

But it's not working for me. It shows the following error:
internal/modules/esm/default_resolve.js:96
  let url = moduleWrapResolve(specifier, parentURL);
            ^

Error: Cannot find module C:\projects\esm-test\src\stuff imported from C:\projects\esm-test\src\app.js
    at Loader.resolve [as _resolve] (internal/modules/esm/default_resolve.js:96:13)
    at Loader.resolve (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:72:33)
    at Loader.getModuleJob (internal/modules/esm/loader.js:156:40)
    at ModuleWrap.<anonymous> (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:42:40)
    at link (internal/modules/esm/module_job.js:41:36) {
  code: 'ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND'
}

With CommonJS modules works. But I want to do it with ESM.
Can you help me with this please.

A: Import index.js automatically in esm is an experimental feature in the current version in node.js. You can use flag --experimental-specifier-resolution=node while staring server.
EX- node --experimental-specifier-resolution=node index
Plz refer this link for more info https://nodejs.org/api/esm.html#esm_resolver_algorithm

A: In order to make this work with "type":"module", you need to import including filename and extension i.e. "index.js", it won't look for index.js by default, other files also need to include the extension i.e. a.js
a.js / b.js
class a {
  constructor(name) {
    this.name = name;
  }

  sayName() {
    console.log('Hi, my name is ', this.name + '.');
  }
}

export default a;

./stuff/index.js
import a from './a.js';
import b from './b.js';

export {
    a,
    b
};

//Or "export default" depending on your needs.

export default {
    a,
    b
};

app.js
import { a, b } from './stuff/index.js'

If you have multiple named exports, you need to import like this.
import * as a from './a.js';

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) happens when the arteries weaken and thin out after taking too much damage.
A lot of people think that the best way to prevent coronary artery disease is to eat a healthy diet. While that does hold a heavyweight, at times – it can be caused by other things. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is when the arteries weaken and thin out after taking too much damage. The wear-and-tear nature of CAD is what makes Coronary Artery Disease one of the most common heart diseases.
However, to prevent and treat Coronary Artery Disease, it's best first to learn what exactly causes the disease. By understanding the cause and nature of the disease, treating Coronary Artery Disease can be a lot easier.
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is either the hardening, the weakening, or the thinning of the arteries after wear-and-tear. However, most CAD incidents occur when there is a blood clot in the arteries. That moment when the oxygenated blood is unable to pass due to the faulty arteries can then lead to heart attacks. And if not intervened, the person having the said heart attack can die soon after.
What are the causes of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD)?
One of the most common causes is a bad diet. If one's diet is composed heavily of sugar, fat, and protein, it can cause plaque to build up inside the arteries. When the plaque builds up inside the arteries, it can become more difficult for the blood to pass through.
How does that become a bad thing? The circulatory system in the body is linked up with the respiratory system. The respiratory system is what attaches oxygen to the blood, distributing oxygen all around the body. However if this pathway is interrupted then, a part of the body becomes deprived of oxygen. To increase the oxygen amount, the heart pumps harder as there is already internal distress (the bad kind of stress). And the increased pressure then further damages the arteries just so the oxygen can travel all around the body.
It can't be just a bad diet! I'm eating fine and I still got a heart attack!
Yes, that's true. While bad diets are one of the most common causes, there are other risk factors which can increase the chances. Risk Factors are not necessarily tangible but they are something which increases the chances of one being afflicted with CAD (Coronary Artery Disease). Some risk factors can be genetic and other risk factors can be induced.
When a person is obese, the veins are either stretched or being squashed by pressure. In order for blood to pass through, the body makes the heart pump harder so the body can get its daily dose of oxygen. Obesity also notes that there is a presence of plaque present in the arteries, further forcing the heart to pump more blood. Obesity is often caused by overeating which increases insulin resistance and prevents the body from breaking down the sugar and carbohydrates properly.
There are two kinds of stress: eustress and distress. While eustress involves endorphins, distress occurs with heightened levels of adrenaline with fight or flight as the body's main responses. Those who are in highly psychologically toxic environments can further destroy the body's arteries. One is because of the constantly stressful situation which triggers the body's fight or flight response. Because this system is activated constantly, the heart is pumping more than ever in case an immediate response is required. And if the individual is into eating as a means of coping with psychological distress, even more so the plaque will build up. The cause of this happens in two pathways: insulin and cortisol. Because one eats more when stressed, it can lead to overeating which is directly responsible for the increased insulin resistance. And cortisol, the hormone for stress which pumps in adrenaline suppresses the effect of Leptin, a metabolic hormone meant to break down fats.
Hypertension can be caused psychologically or it can be in-born. This would mean an individual is more susceptible to cortisol production which influences the production of adrenaline and the suppression of Leptin. Hypertension can also lead to increased blood pressure which would further damage the arteries.
This can be caused by Arrhythmia which is a genetic disorder where the heart does not pump properly. Or, can be caused by heightened levels of stress.
Diabetes is often caused by increased insulin resistance and low sugar tolerance. And when the pancreas is incapable of producing insulin, there are higher chances of plaque forming in the arteries. More plaque means higher chances of CAD.
Okay, now that I know what causes Coronary Artery Disease. What are the symptoms?
Also commonly known as "chest pains". These chest pains occur because the heart is not getting enough oxygen-rich blood.
The brain is not getting enough blood and more energy is devoted to getting the blood through the heart. Because of this, the body shuts down certain functions in order to compensate and devote more energy to the heart to get the blood through.
Vomiting can be caused by nausea which is a sign of imbalance. Another is that the body discovers its currently incapable of breaking down food. And when it does, it'll force the body to upchuck as a means to get rid of it.
The body is trying to stabilize itself by sweating. Because there's an increase in pressure, there's also an increase in heat. In order to cool the body down, the body begins to sweat to prevent one's body from burning too high.
Anxiety attacks can lead to Heart Attacks due to the increased stress. Because of the increased stress, there's increased pressure against the arteries which can trigger CAD.
Always remember that prevention is better than intervention. However, most people are not sure how to cope with CAD when it does happen. So, here are ways to arrest CAD before or when it happens.
Eat a balanced diet. While this advice sounds extremely repetitive, it's for good reason. Relying purely on fat and carbohydrates to carry you out the day can be hard and can induce the body into thinking you're overeating. Because you're overeating, your body will soon build an immunity to insulin which can lead to diabetes and CAD.
Exercise. Exercise is what will burn the carbohydrates and sugar.
Drink a lot of water. Because most organic compounds soluble in water, drinking a lot of water will prevent the plaque from building up.
Working into an exercise slowly will help your heart get used to the amount of physical work you'll have to do. It'll also prevent further plaque build up in your arteries.
When feeling the symptoms, get medical help right away!
Most people don't seek medical help when it happens because they're not sure. But it's alright to seek medical help. Better to be safe than sorry when it occurs. And when you do find medical help, you increase your chances of surviving the Heart Attack caused by CAD.
Depending on the severity of the CAD, most times it will require a trip to the hospital and surgery. After the intervention, your doctor may prescribe cholesterol-controlling medicine to help bring down the cholesterol and reduce the plaque count so that one doesn't get another heart attack again.

Tre Vildmarksmål (TVM) är en ungdomsverksamhet inom Friluftsfrämjandet. Verksamheten riktar sig till ungdomar och unga vuxna som är ca 14-25 år. TVM är Friluftsfrämjandets äventyrsgrupper för ungdomar, där både stora och små äventyr finns representerade bland aktiviteterna. Exempel på aktiviteter är paddling, vandring, cykling, fjällresor och lägerverksamhet.

Verksamheten startades 1958 på initiativ av Torvald Wermelin.
Det traditionella målet är att en TVM-grupp ska klara sig själva utan ledare och att man som enskild friluftsmänniska ska lära sig att lösa problem på egen hand men även i grupp. Under de första decennierna hade TVM karaktären av en egen sektion i Friluftsfrämjandet. Under senare tid har utvecklingen gått mot att TVM mer ses som en ren verksamhet i Friluftsfrämjandet, integrerad i organisationen på samma sätt som övriga aktiviteter.

De tre vildmarksmål som gett verksamheten sitt namn är vattnet, fjället och skogen.
Vildmarksmålen symboliserar naturen som verksamhetens arena.

TVM är till för alla unga som är intresserade av friluftsliv. Det är en fortsättning på Friluftsfrämjandets barnverksamhet och flertalet av deltagarna kommer från denna. En stark tradition i verksamheten är invigningen, som är en introduktionshelg till verksamheten. Traditionellt invigs man i verksamheten vid ca 14 års ålder. Invigningen inkluderar som regel sådant som information om verksamheten, vandring och andra aktiviteter i grupp, och en stämningsfull välkomstceremoni. Exakt vad som händer på invigningen är dock hemligt för spänningens skull..

TVM-märket, som är verksamhetens symbol, innehåller flera former av symbolspråk.
Yxan till vänster står för skogen, paddeln i mitten står för vattnet och isyxan till höger står för fjällen
