Brooklyn, NY, April 30, 2019. URBAN-X, the leading accelerator for startups reimagining city life, today graduated its fifth cohort of startup companies at an event held at their Brooklyn, NY headquarters.
URBAN-X is part of the Innovation and Strategy practice at MINI, and partners with venture firm, Urban.Us. The seven startups in URBAN-X's fifth startup class showcased new hardware, software and IoT platforms to an audience of potential investors, customers and public-sector leaders.
The startups in URBAN-X Cohort 05 are working on solutions to some of the biggest problems cities face around the world, like increasing access to electric vehicles and sustainable transportation, improved construction site productivity, faster and cheaper steel reinforced concrete structures, decreasing GHG emissions from cooling and heating, improved waste management and reducing clothing waste. Demo Day 05 kicked off a series of initial investor meetings the startups will have with top venture capitalists in technology hubs including New York, San Francisco and Palo Alto.
Recognizing that the evolution of cities is inclusive of mobility, but that it also extends to interlinked domains, MINI launched URBAN-X in 2016 as part of their Innovation and Strategy practice focused on improving city life. URBAN-X now has 37 companies in its portfolio and engages with the brightest minds using technology to solve for some of the most complex challenges of city life – from mobility, energy consumption, infrastructure, housing, food waste, water and more.
"We're thrilled to work with this group of innovative entrepreneurs who are rethinking how technology can solve for complex issues that cities everywhere are facing," said VP of Brand Strategy and Innovation at MINI, Esther Bahne. "MINI's investment in URBAN-X builds on our commitment to agile innovation and provides a platform to inspire creativity and collaboration to build meaningful solutions that improve life in cities in unexpected ways."
Today's event was an opportunity for Cohort 05 startups not only to seek additional investment to grow their companies, but also to demonstrate the product and business developments made during URBAN-X's 20-week accelerator program.
Formally known as The Free Ride, the company, which partners with cities and advertisers to provide app-enabled, free electric-vehicle shuttle services in dense city centers, at Demo Day today unveiled its new brand: Circuit. The company also announced its expansion into Hollywood, Florida through a partnership with the City and the re-launch of its service in Williamsburg, Brooklyn thanks to a brand partnership with Runa. Circuit already serves more than two million customers across 19 cities and is quickly expanding to provide city goers with an innovative solution to the 'first-mile/last-mile problem' plaguing busy downtown areas.
"Cohort 05 is an incredibly impressive group of creative and innovative entrepreneurs who are driven by a passion to improve our cities" said URBAN-X Managing Director, Micah Kotch. "We're excited to continue to support this group and see what comes next for these inspiring teams."
URBAN-X has a proven track record in helping early-stage companies secure funding from leading investors. In fact, 85% of URBAN-X companies have gone on to raise their next round of capital.
"Today marks an exciting milestone for each of the companies in Cohort 05 -- and it's just the beginning," said Mark Paris, Partner at Urban Us. "We're inspired by the creativity and drive of these teams and are thrilled to continue to help bring their products to market at scale and positively impact city life."
In addition to investments that URBAN-X and Urban.Us made as part of the accelerator program, funds and individuals that have invested in URBAN-X portfolio companies include Fred Wilson, Brad Burnham, Edgar Bronfman Jr., BMW i Ventures, Draper Associates, Fontinalis Partners, Ekistic Ventures, Wireframe Ventures, Fifth Wall Ventures, Samsung NEXT, Story Ventures, Kairos, and UL Ventures.
The full list of Cohort 05 companies include:
Circuit (formerly The Free Ride) – Circuit is an all-electric, short-range, ridesharing company providing city-goers with free, sustainable transportation.
Borrow – Borrow is bridging the gap between leasing, ownership and on-demand ridesharing by providing short term electric vehicle leasing.
Thrilling – Thrilling is the first dedicated e-commerce platform for vintage and second-hand stores, reducing carbon, waste and water footprints.
Treau – Treau is building advanced climate control systems to bring sustainable, comfortable, and efficient cooling and heating to buildings everywhere.
GreenQ – GreenQ is creating truck-based waste analytics systems to improve logistics, diversion and recycling.
Toggle – Toggle is building an automated process that utilizes software and industrial robotics to reduce costs and increase productivity of construction projects.
Buildstream (formerly GearBuddy) – Buildstream uses IoT and machine learning to digitize every aspect of construction, including equipment like bulldozers and trucks, to make construction more efficient, effective and safer.
A live stream of the event will be made available through Futurism and its YouTube page. Click here to join at 10:00 a.m. ET.
URBAN-X Cohort 06 will launch this summer and will be the first URBAN-X class to receive an increased investment of $150,000 per startup, up from $100,000. URBAN-X is also accepting applications for its next class of startups, Cohort 07, launching winter 2019. Early-stage companies interested can apply here until October 1, 2019.

The spectacular Kuang Si Falls outside of Luang Prabang are a must-see when visiting this part of Laos. The multi-tiered waterfall cascades off the limestone rocks, giving the water a picturesque turquoise blue hue. The series of cascades and pools that flow from the waterfall make for some great swimming opportunities, rope swings and jumps included.
Kuang Si Park is also home to the Free the Bears Sanctuary – a safe zone for a handful of sun bears that have been rescued from traders in the region. The large bear compound, complete with bear hammocks, information displays and viewing platforms, brings children and adults up close to these fascinating animals.
Building upon these natural wonders, Khiri Travel Laos has created an exciting day tour specifically aimed at families with children aged eight and up. Starting the day, you will first of all visit a local market, where your guide will introduce you to local delicacies and specialties, before purchasing the ingredients for your lunch.
From here you head up to Kuang Si, stopping in the local village below the falls. We walk through the village, before arriving at Ms Vandara's family home, a dwelling perched on the edge of the stream that flows down from Kuang Si. A veranda overlooking the water's edge allows parents a great spot from which to watch their children playing in the stream at their feet. Local children love to play in this spot as well. The setting provides a great opportunity for children form different cultures to get to know each other.
And guess what? Ms Vandara is a great cook. With her help you will prepare your own lunch, Lao style. Children can learn how to create their favourite fruit juices. Or if feeling more adventurous, they can help with the main meal created from the ingredients you collected from the market in the morning. Depending on the season we may also pick some herbs and vegetables from Ms Vandara's garden. As parents, you can be as involved with the cooking experience as much as you would like, from using it as a cooking class, to ignoring it completely and relaxing on the veranda overlooking the water. Your level of involvement is flexible so you can adapt to your children's needs.
After lunch, we take a short walk through the local temple, and up to the waterfalls where you are free to explore this protected area. Take your children on a short trek to the top of the falls, watch the bears, and spend the afternoon swimming. Whenever you are tired, the guide and minibus will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.


As a business owner, it's mandatory that you step up and become the business leader you were meant to be and the leader of your own life, or you will be forced to become a follower.
With over 25 years experience, including taking fledgling businesses from a six figure to a seven figure businesses in just 1 year, we successfully help business owners and professionals to up-level their businesses and lives through guiding and supporting them through thier rapid growth and change.
No matter where you are—whether you're looking to increase your sales, take your business over the 7-figure mark and beyond, or have a more fulfilling life—we will provide tailor made and structured support that will help you achieve whatever it is you desire.


Understanding the variety of landscape painting themes enables an artist to choose an area they wish to specialise in. Also, it can help you to find diversity so you do not become stuck in a rut.
It can be really fascinating and exciting to choose a landscape painting theme that captures your imagination and then explore through sketches, photographs and a series of paintings. As you work through each painting keep some notes. I'm sure your imagination will be fired with lots of ideas to develop in subsequent paintings. You may decide to work from one photograph and focus on different parts of it - Or use one source material and explore it through different shape paintings - square - horizontal and thin You may choose to use more unusual colour combinations such as purple and yellow or green and pink.
Rural Landscape Paintings - Rolling hills, vast lakes, high mountains, patchwork fields, vast moors . . . the choice is endless. Each variety allows exciting choices of colour and interpretation.
UK Landscape Paintings - Many artists are fortunate to live in an area of the UK where they are stimulated by their environment. Scottish artists such as Emma Davis grapple with the immense mountains and rugged coastlines of the native land.
English Landscapes - What is it that makes the English landscape unique? Miles of hedgerows; Trees, trees and more trees . . . beautiful shapes and silhouettes whatever the season. Hidden villages and windy country lanes. Capturing the English landscape in a relevant and inspiring way in the 21st century is quite a challenge.
Colourful Landscape Paintings Throughout all the great art movements, there has been a fascination with colour. Colourful landscape paintings are not everyone's choice – either for the artist or audience. However, they are very popular.
Personally, colour plays a vital role in my work – so if you want to work in a more colourful way – then read on.
Waterfall Landscapes Why do some artists paint waterfall? What is the attraction? What makes a good waterfall landscape painting?

Snapchat to acquire mobile search app Vurb for $110M+
Intel announces its first all-in-one wireless VR headset called 'Project Alloy'

Snapchat is acquiring mobile search app Vurb for more that $110 million. Vurb is more of a recommendations app than a search app, to see it technically. The app enables you to make collaborative decisions with your pals over mobile. Apparently, Snapchat finds this alluring and may as well implement this in its future set of services.
Apparently, the messaging client has been in for this deal for a while now. According to The Information, the company has agreed to pay $110 million for Vurb– 75 percent stock and 25 percent cash. Not just this, as a retention bonus, the company has also offered to pay an additional $75 million to keep Vurb founder and CEO Bobby Lo around.
If you don't know what Vurb does, let me summarise it for you. The app offers a state-of-the-art search service that allows you to bundle multiple queries with their results and share them with your friends. This means you don't have to initiate individual searches and browse through the countless pages to find what you are looking for.
Instead, Vurb makes mobile search focussed on browsing. The service offers a beautiful card-based interface, similar to Google Now, showing you information from partners like Yelp and Rotten Tomatoes. The app later aimed to become a monolithic WeChat-style app that offered utilities offered by third-parties onto its new instant messaging feature to help you arrange plans.
The big news, however, isn't the acquisition itself, but why Snapchat was interested in a mobile search app at all. The answer is fairly simple.
Although Snapchat is highly popular and has an amazing amount of features to offer, it still has a handful of problems. The biggest of these is the app's confusing interface that makes it difficult for new users to get up and running. Sure experienced users won't have any problem with how Snapchat looks. But new users find it quite difficult to find what they want in the not so intuitive UI.
Another problem is that Snapchat is still fiddling with revenue streams.
With Vurb in its pocket, Snapchat might just be able to tackle these problems and more. Vurb's technology and talent may help Snapchat surface accounts worth following. It may also provide some unique monetization streams from geo-targeted search. All this puts Snapchat is a very unique position in the market.

Manitoba Eliminates Probate Fees: Considerations For Future Planning – Family and Matrimonial
Elimination of Probate Fees in Manitoba
Probate fees were eliminated in Manitoba as of November 6, 2020.
Accordingly, requests for probate, administration, or resealing in
Manitoba no longer require payment of a probate fee (previously,
$70 for the first $10,000 of an estate, and $7 for every additional
$1,000 or fraction thereof). The applicable legislation, now
renamed The Court Services Fees Act (Manitoba), still
maintains that the Court may charge a processing fee for such
requests; however, the fee would need to be prescribed by
regulation and is expected to be nominal.
Pitfalls of Probate Planning
Probate planning has been a common element of estate planning,
in which the ownership of assets is structured to reduce or avoid
probate fee exposure. However, improper planning (notably through
joint ownership and beneficiary designations) can lead to a gap
(not bridged by any clear terms of trust) between the recipient of
an asset and the asset's intended beneficiaries. Accordingly,
in an effort to save on probate fees, families have occasionally
stumbled into years of costly litigation.
Joint Ownership
Since the decision in Pecore v. Pecore, 2007 SCC 17,
the law has been clear that there is a presumption of a resulting
trust when a parent gratuitously transfers ownership of an asset
into joint ownership with an adult independent child; however, the
presumption can be rebutted if the child transferee can prove that
a gift was intended.
Notwithstanding the decision in Pecore, it is still
relatively common for an older parent to hold one or more bank
accounts jointly with an adult child in an effort to avoid probate
fees. The intent of the parent in establishing this joint ownership
continues to be litigated because the transferee child may be
reluctant to part with an asset of which he or she is the nominal
owner (see, for example, Taran v. Ellison Estate, 2019
MBQB 154, and Sawchuk Estate v. Evans et al., 2012 MBQB
Transfer of real property by a parent into joint ownership with
an adult child has also occasionally resulted in harsh unintended
consequences for the transferor parent. For example,
the parent may be unable to undo a
gift of joint tenancy to the child once it has been duly made (see,
for example, Boda Estate v. Boda, 2014 BCCA 354);
the child's interest in the real
property may become subject to a claim by his or her creditors,
even while the transferor parent is alive and even though the
transferee child contributed no value to the property and is
unaware of the transfer (see, for example, Gauthier Estate v.
Gauthier, 2012 MBQB 101).
Beneficiary designations can also lead to strange results when
they do not evolve with changing circumstances. Marriage generally
revokes a will in Manitoba, unless the will was made in
contemplation of marriage (see The Wills Act, sections 16
and 17); however, it does not revoke a beneficiary designation (see
The Beneficiary Designation Act (Retirement, Savings and Other
Plans), section 13). Similarly, although divorce
revokes a gift made in a will to a spouse (see The Wills
Act, section 18(2)), it does not revoke a beneficiary
designation made in favour of the same beneficiary (see The
Beneficiary Designation Act (Retirement, Savings and Other
Plans), section 13; and, for example, Klassen Estate v.
Klassen (1998) 131 Man. R. (2d) 158 (MBCA)).
A parent may name an adult child as the executor of her estate
and the beneficiary of an insurance policy or registered account,
with the expectation that the child will carry out the wishes
articulated in her will; however, the child may perceive his
entitlement as beneficiary of the policy or the account less
considerately and act to the detriment of another sibling who the
parent also intended to benefit (see, for example, Dreger
(Litigation Guardian of) v. Dreger, [1994] M.J. No. 520
(MBCA)).
We hope that given the elimination of probate fees in
Manitoba, probate planning through joint ownership or beneficiary
designations is undertaken more carefully, and undue confusion and
litigation are avoided.
Why Plan for Probate in the Absence of Probate Fees?
Despite the elimination of probate fees in Manitoba, probate
planning remains useful in particular circumstances, such as the
Creditor protection.
Section 173(2) of The Insurance Act exempts an insurance
contract from execution or seizure while a beneficiary
"designation is in effect in favour of a spouse or common-law
partner, child, grandchild or parent, or any of them, of a person
whose life is insured." It also exempts any insurance money
payable to a designated beneficiary on the death of the insured
from "claims of the creditors of the insured" (see
The Insurance Act, section 173(1)). Accordingly, if a
person anticipates having significant exposure to creditors
(including exposure pursuant to a contingent liability, such as a
guarantee for the loans of a business venture), it is important to
ensure that beneficiaries are duly designated for any personally
held insurance policies (if necessary, by means of an insurance
trust declaration to provide appropriately for any minor, disabled,
or spendthrift beneficiaries).
planning. Under section 112(1) of The Tax
Administration and Miscellaneous Taxes Act (TAMTA),
land transfer taxes are usually payable when real property is
transferred in kind by an estate to a beneficiary, although
exemptions apply to certain transfers of farmland (TAMTA section
113(1), transfers of non-commercial property by an executor or
administrator of a person's estate to the person's spouse
or common-law partner (TAMTA section 114(1)(e)), and transfers to
charities (TAMTA section 113(2)(b)). Consideration should continue
to be given to corporate ownership of real property (whether by
means of a bare trustee or otherwise) in order to limit land
transfer tax exposure, when appropriate.
Alter ego and joint
partner trusts. Alter ego and joint partner trusts remain
viable will substitutes for maintaining confidentiality, limiting
the possibility of a dependant's relief claim, and reducing
probate fee exposure with respect to a person's assets in other
provinces.
Multiple wills.
Multiple wills have been successfully used as a probate planning
technique in Manitoba, starting with The Estate of Robert
Parrish Spear (PR 14-01-99254) where the Court issued a grant
of probate limited to Mr. Spear's primary estate on or about
August 17, 2015. Subsequently, Manitoba courts have issued grants
of probate limited to the primary estate subject to service of the
filings on the attorney general, and the office of the attorney
general confirming in writing that it either consents to the grant,
takes no position with respect to it, or does not object to the
grant. In the absence of a probate fee levy, the Court may no
longer require confirmation of the attorney general's position
with respect to such requests in the future. Multiple wills remain
a consideration when estate planning for clients with corporate
interests, such as those who desire confidentiality and want to
prevent public disclosure of business information, or those who
have assets in or may move to jurisdictions such as Ontario or
British Columbia, where they will experience more probate fee
exposure.
If you have questions with respect to the foregoing or,
otherwise, require assistance with your estate planning or
administration, please do not hesitate to contact our Winnipeg
Estate Planning and Administration group.

A: I found a solution.
In some way last massive system upgrade apt-get update && apt-get upgrade created the problem with initramfs.
I went into /var/lib/dpkg/info and renamed the file initramfs-tools.postinst. Then I ran apt-get update && apt-get upgrade again, and the system rebuilt and reconfigured/recreated this file and now all seems to be ok.

Micah and the Levite
1There was a man of #ver. 8; ch. 18:2; See Josh. 24:33the hill country of Ephraim, whose name was Micah. 2And he said to his mother, "The 1,100 pieces of silver that were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse, and also spoke it in my ears, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, #Ruth 3:10; 1 Sam. 15:13"Blessed be my son by the Lord." 3And he restored the 1,100 pieces of silver to his mother. And his mother said, "I dedicate the silver to the Lord from my hand for my son, to make #[Ex. 20:4] a carved image and #[Lev. 19:4]a metal image. Now therefore I will restore it to you." 4So when he restored the money to his mother, his mother #[Isa. 46:6]took 200 pieces of silver and gave it to the silversmith, who made it into a carved image and a metal image. And it was in the house of Micah. 5And the man Micah had a shrine, and he made #ch. 8:27; 18:14, 17; See Ex. 28:6-35 an ephod and #[Gen. 31:19; Hos. 3:4] household gods, and #ver. 12; [1 Kgs. 13:33]ordained#17:5 Hebrew filled the hand of; also verse 12 one of his sons, who became his priest. 6#ch. 18:1; 19:1; 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel. #[Deut. 12:8]Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
7Now there was a young man of #ch. 19:1; Ruth 1:1, 2; Mic. 5:2; Matt. 2:1, 5, 6Bethlehem in Judah, of the family of Judah, who was a Levite, and he sojourned there. 8And the man departed from the town of Bethlehem in Judah to sojourn where he could find a place. And as he journeyed, he came to #See Josh. 24:33the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah. 9And Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" And he said to him, "I am a Levite of Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to sojourn where I may find a place." 10And Micah said to him, "Stay with me, and be to me #ch. 18:19a father and a priest, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year and a suit of clothes and your living." And the Levite went in. 11And the Levite #[Ex. 2:21]was content to dwell with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons. 12And Micah #ver. 5 ordained the Levite, and the young man #[ch. 18:30]became his priest, and was in the house of Micah. 13Then Micah said, "Now I know that the Lord will prosper me, because I have a Levite as priest."

Q: Symfony messenger and mailer : how to add a binding_key? I have a running Symfony 4.4 project with messenger and rabbitMQ.
I have an async transport with 2 queues.
    transports:
        # https://symfony.com/doc/current/messenger.html#transport-configuration
      async:
        dsn: '%env(MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%'
        options:
          exchange:
            name: myexchange
            type: direct
          queues:
            email:
              binding_keys:
                - email
            extranet:
              binding_keys:
                  - extranet
        # failed: 'doctrine://default?queue_name=failed'
        # sync: 'sync://'

    routing:
        # Route your messages to the transports
        'App\Message\ExtranetMessage': async
        'Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\SendEmailMessage': async

I need to send email with the symfony/mailer component to the email queue.
public function contact(Request $request, MailerInterface $mailer)
{
    if($request->isXmlHttpRequest())
    {
        //dd($request->request->all());
        $body =
            'Nouveau message depuis le front

             Nom = '.$request->request->get('nom').'

             Prénom = '.$request->request->get('prenom').'

             Société = '.$request->request->get('societe').'

             Email = '.$request->request->get('mail').'
';

        $email = (new Email())
            ->from('from@email.tld')
            ->replyTo($request->request->get('mail'))
            ->to('$request->request->get('mail')')
            ->subject('test')
            ->html($body);

        $mailer->send($email);

        return new JsonResponse('OK', 200);
    }
}

How can I add the binding_key to the mailer in order to let rabbitMQ know how to handle the email ?

A: Routing keys can be specified via stamps. Unfortunately, the mailer integration doesn't expose a way to add them, it just dispatches the message to the default queue. But you can still dispatch the message manually:
$this->dispatchMessage(new SendEmailMessage($email), [new AmqpStamp('email')]);

This approach has some limitations: Since this is not using mailer code, MessageEvent won't be dispatched and the "E-mails" Pane in the profiler will be empty.
Another option is to add the stamp using a middleware:

*

*Create the middleware

// src/Messenger/StampEmailMessageMiddleware.php
class StampEmailMessageMiddleware implements MiddlewareInterface
{
    const bindingKey = 'email';

    public function handle(Envelope $envelope, StackInterface $stack): Envelope
    {
        // Add the stamp. Since the middleware gets called both when dispatching and
        // consuming the message, we make sure there's no stamp already added.
        if (
            $envelope->getMessage() instanceof SendEmailMessage &&
            null === $envelope->last(AmqpStamp::class)
        ) {
            $envelope = $envelope->with(new AmqpStamp(self::bindingKey));
        }

        return $stack->next()->handle($envelope, $stack);
    }
}

*Add the middleware to the bus configuration:

# config/packages/messenger.yaml
messenger:
    buses:
        messenger.bus.default:
            middleware:
                - 'App\Messenger\StampEmailMessageMiddleware'

*Send the message normally:

$mailer->send($email);

A: Allright, I found the answer while searching for the complete messenger configuration reference.
In order to process messages without binding key, a default_publish_routing_key entry has to be added.
The configuration now looks like :
    transports:
        # https://symfony.com/doc/current/messenger.html#transport-configuration
      async:
        dsn: '%env(MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%'
        options:
          exchange:
            name: myexchange
            type: direct
            default_publish_routing_key: email
          queues:
            email:
              binding_keys:
                - email
            extranet:
              binding_keys:
                  - extranet
        # failed: 'doctrine://default?queue_name=failed'
        # sync: 'sync://'

    routing:
        # Route your messages to the transports
        'App\Message\ExtranetMessage': async
        'Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\SendEmailMessage': async

This allows the messenger component to process messages event if they don't have any queue specified.

A: Alternatively you could define separate transports for each queue using different exchange names.
    transports:
      async_email:
        dsn: '%env(MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%'
        options:
          exchange:
            name: messages_email
          queues:
            email: ~
      async_extranet:
        dsn: '%env(MESSENGER_TRANSPORT_DSN)%'
        options:
          exchange:
            name: messages_extranet
          queues:
            extranet: ~

    routing:
        'App\Message\ExtranetMessage': async_extranet
        'Symfony\Component\Mailer\Messenger\SendEmailMessage': async_email

In this case  you don't need to specify binding key on every message dispatch or create custom middleware.

Der Makibär (Bassaricyon alleni) ist eine Art in der Gattung Makibären, die zur Familie der Kleinbären (Procyonidae) gehört. Der wissenschaftliche Artname ehrt den Zoologen Joel Asaph Allen (1838–1921).

Merkmale
Der Makibär ist eine mittelgroße Art der Makibären, kleiner als der Mittelamerika-Makibär (Bassaricyon gabbii) aber größer als der Anden-Makibär (Bassaricyon neblina). Der Körper ist schlank mit relativ kurzen Vorderbeinen und etwas längeren Hinterbeinen. Er erreicht eine Körperlänge von etwa 70,5 bis 98,5 Zentimetern, wobei etwa 40 bis 53 Zentimeter auf den Schwanz entfallen. Die Schwanzlänge liegt damit beim 1,0- bis 1,4fachen der Kopfrumpflänge. Das Körpergewicht liegt bei 1,1 bis 1,5 kg. Die Füße sind breit mit gebogenen Krallen, die Hinterfüße sind etwa 7,2 bis 9,2 Zentimeter lang. Die Ohren sind abgerundet, die Ohrlänge beträgt 3 bis 4,3 Zentimeter. Exemplare vom östlichen Abhang der Anden aus Höhen oberhalb von 1000 Metern haben ein längeres Fell, kürzere Schwänze und sind mehr bräunlich und weniger orange-braun gefärbt als die Tiere aus dem amazonischen Tiefland.

Die Art ähnelt stark ihrer Schwesterart dem Chocó-Makibär (Bassaricyon medius), hat jedoch mehr dunkle Haarspitzen im Rückenfell, wodurch das Fell des Makibären etwas dunkler ist als das des Chocó-Makibären. Der Schädel ist etwas breiter und die Schnauze ein wenig kürzer. Die Paukenblase ist mehr aufgebläht und der vierte Prämolar ist größer. Die Nase des Makibären ist oft rosa, die des Chocó-Makibären dagegen dunkel. Der Makibär ist deutlich größer als Bassaricyon medius medius, die kolumbianische Unterart des Chocó-Makibären und hat etwa die gleichen Körpermaße wie B. m. orinomus, die panamaische Unterart des Chocó-Makibären. Die Färbung des Makibären ist relativ einheitlich, wogegen B. m. orinomus oft einen rötlichen Schwanz hat. Der genetische Abstand des Makibären zum Chocó-Makibären, ermittelt durch eine DNA-Analyse der Gene des Proteins Cytochrom b, beträgt 6 bis 7 %.

Verbreitung und Lebensraum

Der eigentliche Makibär ist die einzige Makibärenart östlich der Anden. Das sehr große Verbreitungsgebiet liegt in den Regenwäldern des Amazonasbeckens und reicht vom nordwestlichen Bolivien und dem östlichen Peru und Ecuador bis ins westliche Brasilien (Bundesstaaten Amazonas und Acre, wahrscheinlich auch in Roraima und Pará). In Guyana ist die Art durch zwei Exemplare nachgewiesen (die Typusexemplare von Bassaricyon beddardi) Nachweise aus Surinam und Französisch-Guayana fehlen.

In seinem Verbreitungsgebiet lebt der Makibär vom amazonischen Tiefland bis in Höhen von 2000 Metern. Die meisten Tiere leben unterhalb von 1000 Metern aber am östlichen Abhang der Anden, wo der Anden-Makibär fehlt, kommen die Tiere bis in Höhen von 2000 Metern vor.

Lebensweise und Ökologie
Obwohl der Makibär die am besten untersuchte Art der Gattung ist, ist über seine Lebensweise nur wenig bekannt. Er bewohnt feuchte Wälder und ist nachtaktiv, einzelgängerisch und baumlebend (arboreal), geht jedoch auch auf den Erdboden, um von Baum zu Baum zu gelangen, wenn sich die Kronen nicht berühren. Die Nahrung besteht vor allem aus Früchten, daneben werden Insekten, kleine Nager und Echsen, nestjunge Vögel und Eier verspeist. Bei Bedrohung setzen die Tiere einen übel riechenden Geruch frei. Männchen sind untereinander aggressiv. Die Weibchen bekommen nach einer Tragzeit von 72 bis 74 Tagen ein einzelnes Jungtier.

Systematik
Der eigentliche Makibär bildet eine Art der Makibären (Gattung Bessaricyon), die derzeit in vier Arten unterteilt wird. Gegenwärtig werden keine Unterarten des Makibären unterschieden. Die Population in Guyana wurde als eigenständige Art beschrieben, Beddards Makibär (Bassaricyon beddardi). Der Holotyp, ein ursprünglich in einem Zoo gehaltenes Exemplar, ist inzwischen verloren gegangen und die Eigenständigkeit der Art konnte niemals bestätigt werden. Morphologisch und molekulargenetisch gibt es kaum Unterschiede zwischen den Exemplaren aus Guyana und Makibären aus dem peruanischen Amazonasgebiet. Bassaricyon beddardi wurde deshalb mit Bassaricyon alleni synonymisiert.

Gefährdung und Schutz
Die Art wird von der International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) aufgrund des relativ großen Verbreitungsgebietes und des Vorkommens in zahlreichen Schutzgebieten als "nicht gefährdet" (Least concern) eingeschätzt. Als Hauptbedrohung für einzelne Populationen wird der Lebensraumverlust durch Entwaldung angesehen.

The success of any campaign depends on how well one can apply it. If a formula of any campaign can be applied more than once, we might as well say it is a success. Unfortunately, there are good and bad campaigns out there, and since we deal with cyber security in our blog, here we would like to talk about a malevolent campaign that has a potential to grow into something extremely nasty. We would like to talk about phishing attacks that can crack down two-factor authentication. Consequently, we will also look at ways you can secure your passwords from such attacks.
Two-factor or multi-factor authentication is a type of authentication that confirms a user's identity using more than just one factor. The most common authentication factor is a password. We know very well that passwords have to be strong and unique, but we also know that passwords are probably the weakest brick in the security wall that protects your personal information from malicious exploitation. So two-factor authentication offers an additional layer of security where you have to provide another factor of authentication. For example, it could be a temporary code that you receive to your phone.
Technically, this type of authentication is supposed to be safe and secure. After all, who else could use your phone number, but you, right? Unfortunately, a report released by Amnesty International last month proves that even this enhanced authentication system isn't as safe as we would like it to be.
You might be confused by this subtitle. What could a random phishing campaign in North Africa and the Middle East have anything to do with us? Sure, it might seem rather distant and irrelevant, but we have to keep in mind that the inner workings of any successful local phishing attack could be applied later on globally. Also, these phishing campaigns, in some cases, could bypass Google's two-factor authentication, and that is extremely alarming.
The attacks in North Africa and the Middle East mostly targeted Human Rights Defenders (HRDs), journalists, and political actors in the countries of the mentioned region. There were two types of attacks. The first type of attack impersonated secure email providers. The victims were redirected to the websites that looked exactly like Tutanota or ProtonMail pages. Tutanota and ProtonMail are popular email service providers in the region, and they have a positive reputation among human rights activists because they offer "secure email" services.
The second type of the attack targeted the Google two-factor authentication by employing clones of popular commercial websites. Aside from Google, Yahoo users were also targeted in this attack.
How Does the Two-Factor Authentication Scam Work?
It is very often that scammers try to convince users that their security has been breached. The same happened with these attacks, too. Potential victims were spammed with emails that claimed their accounts had been compromised. The emails come with buttons and links that the user is urged to click in order to change their password or confirm their identity. Clicking those links and buttons eventually redirects the user to a fake Google website that requires them to log in.
When the user logs into the fake Google page, they get redirected to yet another page, which says that a two-factor authentication code has been sent out via text message. And this is the disturbing part. You do receive a six-digit code into the phone number that you used to create your Gmail account. Even though you are on a phishing page, you receive a text message into your phone. As a result, you probably do not stop to think twice whether you are about to be scammed or not. This is why this phishing campaign is very dangerous, and it would be close to devastating if it were to spread across the globe.
When the affected user receives the six-digit code and enters it into the phishing page, the scammers urge the user to change their Google account password. This way, the scammers manage to sidestep Google two-factor authentication. They even manage to issue the password change to the affected account to further "prove" that the security warning was real. As you can see, it is a well-crafted social engineering attack that is good at not raising any suspicion.
If the victim goes through all the attack steps, at the end of the day, the scammers obtain the two-factor authentication code and collect sensitive personal information, thus making the attack successful. On the other hand, it doesn't mean that we should all scrap Google two-factor authentication at once because it can be breached.
How Can I Secure My Passwords?
No security measures are 100% fail proof, and that is something that we have to understand. Therefore, just because someone can crack multi-factor authentication, it doesn't mean that it is useless. Computer security experts still maintain that you should enable this type of authentication anywhere you can. You might also want to consider using the hardware type of security tokens that can be part of the multi-factor authentication process.
At the same time, perhaps we should start with the most common steps we can take to secure our personal information. Have you ever thought of using something like Cyclonis Password Manager? This tool allows you to generate and store all of your passwords without the need to remember them. The application does the job for you. What's more, if you use the Cyclonis browser extension, compatible with the specific browser that you use, you can also enable the auto-fill feature that fills in the password boxes the moment you open a certain page.
So this tool saves you time when you need to access your accounts, and you no longer need to worry about the complexity of your passwords. What's more, phishing websites sometimes come with random hyperlinks that users often overlook, but an automated tool would recognize at once that it is not a legitimate link, and the auto-fill feature would not even work. So when you think of ways to secure your passwords from potential phishing attacks, perhaps you should start with a reliable password manager tool. That is the first step to take.
Why Should You Create a Google Backup Code When Using Two-Factor Authentication?

Q: Using PDO to replace mysql_connect - formatting correctly? This is my current page:
<?php

mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'mypass') or die (mysql_error());
mysql_select_db('radio1') or die (mysql_error());
$result = mysql_query("SELECT *, TIME_FORMAT(airtime, '%H:%i') `airtime`
from presenters");
//Table starting tag and header cells
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>
    <?php foreach($rows as $row):?>

<a href="<?=$row=['link'] ?>" title="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>"><?=$row['airtime'] . " - " .$row['presenter']?>

<a href="<?=$row=['link'] ?>" title="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>"><img src="<?=$row['image']; ?>" width="100" height="75" alt="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>" title="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>" />

                <?=$row['showinfo']; ?>

               <a href="<?=$row=['link'] ?>" title="Find out more...">
                        <?=$row['more']; ?>

    <?php endforeach;?>

I want to convert this to code that works with PDO, since it is enabled in my php.ini
How would I get PDO to work with this, as I'm intending on (for this project and all future ones) phasing out use of the older mysql_connect.
I had a look at how to do it at the Zend Developer Zone and although I can do it at an average level for Dwoo-based projects, this template does not use a templating engine - it is pure PHP-based syntax, no templates used, only various include() and require, plus echo() where needed.
Any help is appreciated!

A: Here is your solution.
<?php

$hostname = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "mypass";
$dbname = 'radio1';
$dbh =null;
try {
    $dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=$hostname;dbname=$dbname", $username, $password);
}
catch(PDOException $e)
{
   echo $e->getMessage();
}

$result = $dbh->query("SELECT *, TIME_FORMAT(airtime, '%H:%i') `airtime` from presenters");
//Table starting tag and header cells
while($row = $result->fetch ()) {
?>
<?php foreach($rows as $row):?>

<a href="<?=$row=['link'] ?>" title="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>"><?=$row['airtime'] . " - " .$row['presenter']?>

<a href="<?=$row=['link'] ?>" title="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>"><img src="<?=$row['image']; ?>" width="100" height="75" alt="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>" title="<?=$row=['presenter'] ?>" />

                  <?=$row['showinfo']; ?>

           <a href="<?=$row=['link'] ?>" title="Find out more...">

    <?=$row['more']; ?>

<?php endforeach;?>

» Double Stars
Tue, 28 Feb 2012 | Double Stars
As early as the 1840s Sir James South bemoaned the fact that F.G.W. Struve had swept the sky clear of new double stars and there was little left for him to do. Twenty or so years later when Burnham began to find many new pairs using a 6-inch telescope even T.W. Webb expressed the view that he could not hope to keep up this rate of discovery. In fact this was just the start of a golden period for visual discovery which lasted in essence until the middle of the last century. After that it is fair to say that minds were concentrated on getting more observations of the existing systems in order to accumulate stellar masses and dynamical parallaxes. Even so the work of Paul Couteau and Paul
Muller in France and Wulff Heintz in the USA indicated that there was no shortage of new pairs for those prepared to look for them with suitable apertures. The Hipparcos satellite which operated between 1989 and 1993 found about 15,000 new systems, some of which would have been too difficult for visual observers but some of the pairs can be resolved visually and the widest discoveries have been seen with very small telescopes. Hipparcos, and the associated Tycho mission which looked at other observations made by the satellite to a fainter magnitude but with less accuracy than the main mission, was by no means a complete survey.
In short there are still new double stars to be found either by lunar occultation or by visual examination in a concerted manner of, say, POSS films. As already mentioned, Schmidt survey films or prints can show stars down to 5'' separation. In his study of the pairs on POSS prints originally found on astrographic plates by Pourteau, Domenico Gellera noted a number of closer components in these systems. These pairs have not been confirmed so far but at typical magnitudes of 12-16 and separations of about 5'', these could be recorded with a 10-inch Schmidt-Cassegrain with a CCD camera (see Figure 16.1). The power of modern telescopes and CCD cameras is such that even pointing at a random area of sky, one is likely to record pairs which are not catalogued.
Direct visual discovery is another matter. New pairs still turn up and the French observer Jean-Claude Thorel using the 50-cm refractor at Nice has discovered four to date but these are by-products of a measurement programme rather than a deliberate attempt to survey for new discoveries. Sky conditions, particularly seeing, would need to be very good so that stars surveyed show sharp round disks and any close companion (within range of the telescope) would be relatively easily visible. It is one thing to measure a known pair whose separation is below the Rayleigh limit but it is quite another to discover one at the same distance.

Q: If $A_n\rightarrow A$ then $\mu(A_n)\rightarrow \mu(A)$. Let $\mu$ finite measure then $A_n\rightarrow A\implies \mu(A_n)\rightarrow \mu(A)$.
My Attempt:
$$
\mu(A)=\mu(\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sup A_n)
=\mu\left(\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\bigcup^\infty_{k=n} A_k\right)
=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\mu\left(\bigcup^\infty_{k=n} A_k\right)
=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty}\sum^\infty_{k=n} \mu(A_k)
=\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \mu(A_n)
$$
Is this correct?

A: It might be wise to provide more concrete assumptions if there are any. Based on your 2nd equality where you write that the measure of the limsup is equal to the measure of the limit of unions, you may be missing some conditions on $A_k$. I say this because the definition of the lim sup for sets is defined as $\displaystyle\limsup_{n\rightarrow\infty} A_n=\bigcap_{n\geq 1}\bigcup_{k\geq n} A_k$.
Furthermore, it seems that you are attempting to use continuity from below. DO you have the conditions for this?


Did you ever get scared of ghosts before? In this book Misty, Brock, and Ash are going to Saffron City to defeat Sabrina, a Pokemon trainer, in a battle. Misty, a character, tried to warn them of the three purple scary Pokemon ghosts called Gengar, Gastly, and Haunter who all lived in the Haunted Tower. They needed to get the ghost Pokemon before they could defeat Sabrina.
I liked Ash, Misty, and Brock, because Ash tried his hardest to get all the badges. I liked Misty, because she was so funny and she even gets mad at Ash. Brock was another likeable character, because he is into Pokemon and whenever he sees Pokemon, he freaks out.
I recommend this book to my friends, because the illustrations are attractive. Pokemon books are thrilling to read, so I know my family will enjoy the book too. Because the book has very good details and great characters, I think you should read it.

Sorry I can't be helpful because I've never seen this on Photoshop, but it makes a quite interesting and beautiful piece of art.
Hello and welcome. If your looking to recreate the exact same style of glitch lines, your in for a very long and drawn out process. These lines are not only multicolored, but they all possess tonal gradations and striations.
Simply put, there is no easy way to do this. I have ideas, but none that I'm willing to take the time and effort to explain to someone with very little experience with Photoshop. If you were an advanced user of many years I could get you in the ballpark. But as a newbie, I think you have bitten off way more than you can chew. The Gradient Tool would be good for you to learn............it's a vague start.
Sorry I was not more help.
The only thing I would add is that, rather than creating your own glitches in Photoshop, you can download images of glitches and edit them into your Photoshop projects.
wow thank you all for the reply definitely helped with the suggestions!
