Trichoepitheliomas are benign skin tumors with follicular differentiation that present most commonly as solitary lesions. They can also present as multiple centrofacial papules due to several mutations in the CYLD gene. Multiple unilateral trichoepitheliomas in a linear or dermatomal distribution may rarely be seen. Herein, we report a case of multiple unilateral trichoepitheliomas on the face of a healthy 34-year-old woman of Caucasian origin.
A 34-year-old woman of Caucasian origin was referred to the outpatient clinic of our department with a rash on the right side of her face. At the age of five years, multiple asymptomatic skin-colored firm papules developed in a unilateral configuration on the right side of her face. The rash was asymptomatic but of cosmetic concern to the patient. The family history was unremarkable. The patient was otherwise healthy.
Physical examination showed skin-colored papules ranging from 2 to 8 mm in size localized on her mid-forehead, the right eyebrow, the eyelids, down the right cheek, and the right nasolabial fold (Figure 1). The lesions were nontender, smooth, and firm. No other skin lesions were noted. Contact polarized dermatoscopy revealed the presence of bright white linear streaks on an ivory-white background as well as yellow and light brown dots and clods (Figure 2)

(c) Closer view of the right side: multiple rounded whitish and skin-colored papules and nodules symmetrically distributed on the lower eyelid and the perinasal area.

Histological examination of a skin biopsy showed a well-demarcated dermal tumor composed of anastomosing lobules of basaloid cells of uniform size arrange in an organoid pattern. The cells were small, with regular nuclei, surrounded by prominent cellular stroma. Small keratinous cysts lined by stratified squamous epithelium were also noted. No connection with the overlying epidermis was noted (Figure 3).

A lesion in the nasolabial fold was excised in toto and the patient was started on topical treatment with imiquimod 5% cream. The patient applied a thin layer of imiquimod 5% cream prior to normal sleeping hours, left on the lesions for about 8 hours, and then removed by washing the area with mild soap and water, 3 times per week. At the follow-up visit, after three months of treatment with imiquimod 5% cream less than 25% of the lesions at the baseline examination were still present but we also observed a size reduction of the remaining lesions by 1 to 2 mm. The patient was satisfied from aesthetic point of view as she considered that the lesions were less prominent. No side effects were reported during treatment (Figure 4).

Trichoepitheliomas (TE) are benign neoplasms differentiated toward the folliculosebaceous-apocrine germ, occurring mainly in early childhood or adolescence. Their prevalence remains unknown. Trichoepitheliomas increase slowly in size and number throughout life, often causing a significant cosmetic problem [1, 2].
TE are, as a rule, solitary. They present as a solitary skin-colored, round, smooth, firm papule or nodule frequently transversed by telangiectasias on any hair follicle-bearing location, with a predilection for the nose, upper lip, and cheeks. The size can vary from a few millimeters to several centimeters, but most trichoepitheliomas measure not over 1 cm in diameter. Rare presentations include a linear form and a large hemifacial plaque form. The solitary type occurs more frequently in adults [1].
Multiple familial trichoepitheliomas (MFT) usually begin in early childhood or adolescence as multiple round, firm, pink, or skin-colored, sometimes translucent, papules or nodules symmetrically distributed on the face particularly in the perinasal area but can also occur on the trunk and the extremities [2, 3]. MFT have an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance. Various mutations in the CYLD gene, a tumor suppression gene located on chromosome 16q12-q13, have been associated with inherited disorders characterized by multiple adnexal tumors such as trichoepitheliomas, cylindromas, and spiradenomas namely, Brooke-Spiegler syndrome (BSS), multiple familial trichoepithelioma, and familial cylindromatosis [4]. Multiple familial trichoepithelioma and familial cylindromatosis are considered phenotypic variants of BSS.
Multiple trichoepitheliomas have been reported as a rare feature of the Bazex-Dupré-Christol syndrome which is an X-linked dominant disorder characterized by congenital hypotrichosis, follicular atrophoderma, milia, basal cell carcinomas, and hypohidrosis [5, 6]. MFT are often cited feature of Rombo syndrome which is characterized by follicular atrophy, atrophoderma vermiculata, acral cyanosis, milia, hypotrichosis, and basal cell cancers. As a matter of fact, multiple trichoepitheliomas were reported only in one family member from the original case [7]. James Rasmussen described in 1975 a combination of multiple trichoepitheliomas, cylindromas, and milia. Although the term "Rasmussen's syndrome" is still in use, it is nowadays considered a variant of BSS [8].
Rare presentations include linear lesions on the face arranged along the Blaschko lines, and association with ungual fibromas [9–14]. Multiple nonfamilial trichoepitheliomas have also been reported. However, it is unclear whether genetic analyses were performed in these patients [15, 16]. Only a few cases of unilateral multiple trichoepitheliomas have been reported in the literature most of which occurred in dark-skinned individuals [9–11].
Histologically, TE are symmetrical, well-circumscribed nonulcerated dermal neoplasms comprised mostly of follicular germitive cells that are usually arranged in a cribriform pattern. The epithelial cells are deeply basophilic and uniform and usually overlap each other. In addition to the predominant epithelial component, there is also a connective tissue component that resembles that of an embryonic perifollicular sheath. In short, it is abundant highly fibrocystic and constituted mostly of delicate fibrillary collagen. The histological features of the solitary and the multiple variants are identical [17].
Multiple trichoepitheliomas must be differentiated from other adnexal tumors such as eruptive syringomas and the angiofibromas of tuberous sclerosis. The main differential diagnosis for solitary trichoepithelioma is basal cell carcinoma (BCC). Absence of specific follicular stroma, asymmetry, or invasive growth and clefts between epithelial aggregations and the surrounding stroma are clues favoring a diagnosis of BCC. Malignant transformation of trichoepitheliomas is a very rare event, convincingly documented only in a handful of cases [18, 19].
Trichoepitheliomas, as a rule, cannot be differentiated from basal cell cancer solely on specific expression of cytokeratins. A panel of immunohistochemical markers composed of CD10, CK15, CK20, and D2-40 that could facilitate the differentiation trichoepithelioma and basal cell carcinoma has been proposed [20].
Multiple trichoepithelioma on the face present a major cosmetic concern and are typically difficult to treat. The management of trichoepitheliomas is challenging especially in patients with multiple facial lesions. Various treatment modalities have been efficacious in treating trichoepitheliomas, namely, surgery, electrodessication, CO2 laser, Erbium–YAG laser, and imiquimod [21–23]. Successful use of topical sirolimus alone or in combination with CO2 ablative laser has been also reported [24].
Imiquimod is an immunomodulating agent approved for the treatment of HPV infections, actinic keratoses, and basal cell carcinomas. Imiquimod induced a potent antiviral and antitumor effect by activating the Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR-7) subsequently leading to secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, and GM-CSF. Many studies have tested the effect of imiquimod on several types of skin tumors with mixed results.
In our case, partial response and size reduction to topical therapy with imiquimod were achieved. This is in line with the finding of Alessi et al. who reported two patients with multiple trichoepitheliomas who showed partial response to topical treatment with imiquimod 5% for 32 weeks [25].
In our case, the combination of excision of the largest lesion with topical imiquimod treatment in the smaller lesions brought a satisfactory result for the patient.

Q: fancyhdr messing up the document margins I wish to add header/footer to a document in landscape format. The document is basically a long table with few notes. Consider the following example:
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
\setlength{\textwidth}{16cm}
\setlength{\textheight}{23cm}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0cm}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\rhead{My name}
\lhead{document title}
\cfoot{Page \thepage}

\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper,
landscape,
top=2cm,
bottom=2cm,
left=3cm,
right=2cm,
includehead,includefoot,
heightrounded}

\setlength\parindent{0pt}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{p{2cm}p{4cm}p{1cm}p{2cm}p{4cm}}
\multicolumn{5}{c}{\Large\textbf{Name:} My Name} \\
College:& My college & & University: & My university
\end{longtable}
\vspace{3em}

\begin{large}
    Title of document
\end{large}
\end{center}

\begin{footnotesize}
some notes
\end{footnotesize}
\end{document}

The output is all messed up:

However, if I just remove the fancyhdr part from the code, there is no problem in the alignment of footer:

How can I align the fancyhdr with the document?

A: Well, in your code you have some issues:

*

*You are using definitions you do not need if you use package geometry:
%\setlength{\textwidth}{16cm} % <=======================================
%\setlength{\textheight}{23cm}
%\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0cm}

*The order of calling packages geometry and fancyhdr is important! You need to call geometry first to define all margins. This correct defined margins can then be used by fancyhdr to insert the needed header and footers ...
\usepackage{geometry} % <===============================================
\geometry{%
  letterpaper,
  landscape,
  top=2cm,
  bottom=2cm,
  left=3cm,
  right=2cm,
  includehead,includefoot,
  heightrounded
}

\usepackage{fancyhdr} % <===============================================
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\rhead{My name}
\lhead{document title}
\cfoot{Page \thepage}

*fancyhdr creates on the first page the header and footer and test if the available space for header and footer is enough or not. In your case you get the warning (see your log file):
Package Fancyhdr Warning: \headheight is too small (12.0pt):
Make it at least 13.59999pt.

So you need to add the line
\setlength{\headheight}{14pt} % <=======================================

to your preamble ...
Please see the following complete and compilable mwe
\documentclass[11pt]{article}

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{longtable}
%\setlength{\textwidth}{16cm} % <=======================================
%\setlength{\textheight}{23cm}
%\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0cm}

\usepackage{geometry} % <===============================================
\geometry{%
  letterpaper,
  landscape,
  top=2cm,
  bottom=2cm,
  left=3cm,
  right=2cm,
  includehead,includefoot,
  heightrounded
}

\usepackage{fancyhdr} % <===============================================
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\rhead{My name}
\lhead{document title}
\cfoot{Page \thepage}
\setlength{\headheight}{14pt} % <=======================================

\setlength\parindent{0pt}

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\begin{longtable}{p{2cm}p{4cm}p{1cm}p{2cm}p{4cm}}

Q: Passing Values Between Forms using OpenArgs *****EDITED
So I have a form titled "NewInvoice". This form edits a table "Invoice" which contains the following; Invoice Number, Customer, Order Date. In this form I have a button which opens a subform titled "InvoiceItem". This edits a table with the same name that contains Invoice Number, Item Code, Dimensions, Etc.
Now currently, my button has an event procedure as follows.

Private Sub CreateInvoiceItem_Click()
DoCmd.OpenForm "InvoiceItem", OpenArgs:="InvoiceNumber"
End Sub

(The reason I am using a button and opening the form in a separate window is because I have cascading combo boxes in the sub form that become broken when I insert the sub form into the parent form)
Now where I am having trouble is setting the Form Load command. What I would like to occur is that the InvoiceNumber which is filled out in the Parent form auto fills in the sub form when the button is clicked.

Private Sub Form_Load()
**** NEEDED CODE****
End Sub

A: So try fixing the comboboxes as described in comment under question. Also, recommend code to requery the dependent combobox be in its GotFocus event. Keep in mind, cascading combobox with lookup alias will not work nice in continuous or datasheet form.
If you really want to pass value to independent form, the OpenArgs is a good approach.
Probably need to open the form to a new record row.
DoCmd.OpenForm "InvoiceItem", , , , acFormAdd, acDialog, Me!InvoiceNumber
Need code that makes sure the form is on a new record.
Private Sub Form_Load()
If Me.NewRecord Then Me!InvoiceNumber = Me.OpenArgs
End Sub

A: I find that the best way to do this is to add a Public sub to the form that you're opening and then pass whatever parameters you need to this function when you open the form. So to do what you're looking to do add a function like this to the form that you're opening;
Public Sub SetUpForm(InvoiceNumber as Long)

    txtInvoiceNumber.Value = InvoiceNumber

End Sub

Where txtInvoiceNumber is the control on the form that you want to put the value into.
Then from your button;
DoCmd.OpenForm "InvoiceItem"
Forms!InvoiceItem.SetUpForm InvoiceNumber

This will pass your value for the invoice number to the control on the form that you're opening. This also gives you a lot more flexibility to control the process because you can pass more than one parameter to the sub and in the sub you can perform any number of tasks.

Rebecca Gordon: Flying the unfriendly skies of America
By TomDispatch, September 21, 2015
Rebecca Gordon's piece today triggered a little repressed memory of mine of a trip I took in 2003. Arriving at the airport, I turned my suitcase over to the ticket agent, only to be told that it had been singled out for special inspection. I was already running TomDispatch and I couldn't help wondering, somewhat nervously, if my activities had preceded me to the airport. I was directed to another spot in the terminal where I lifted the suitcase onto a table in front of a Transportation Security Administration agent. She promptly unzipped the bag, flipped it open, and front and center, face up atop my folded clothes, was a book that had "Unabomber" in big letters in its title. It felt as if a jolt of electricity had shot through my body and my eyes were bugging out of my head at my obvious stupidity. As if to confirm that feeling, the agent looked stunned, too. We were both silent for a too-long moment, contemplating the reckless passenger who had a book about the Unabomber conspicuously displayed in his bag. Then she said, "How is it?"
It was the last question I expected to hear and I stumbled far too quickly to respond with something like: "I don't know. I haven't read it yet. A newspaper asked me to review it." (All true, but in translation it clearly meant: "Hey, I know this looks terrible, but I'm a reputable book reviewer, not your basic terror-lovin' sorta guy.") Not much else was said, but believe me, my bag and backpack were inspected with a thoroughness that had to be seen to be believed. A second agent was even called in to lend a hand. In the end, the bag was cleared for departure and, chastened, I headed for the security line, already unfastening my belt.
And there's a little p.s. to this episode. Not so long after, I set out on another trip, this time carrying Tariq Ali's book, Clash of Fundamentalisms: Crusades, Jihads, and Modernity, with me. As I was packing, I noticed that its cover featured George Bush's face superimposed on Osama bin Laden's. It was a striking image and in a split second I was slipping the jacket off the book to leave at home. If I got singled out again, I had no intention of letting an agent find a cloned bin Laden-Bush image among my possessions.
In this way, microscopic act by microscopic act, whoever we are, whatever we think we think, we can't help but absorb the limits, the directives, the intentions that our ascendant national security state wants to impose on us. In all sorts of devious ways, without serious thought, in acts that hardly register, we make their agendas, their surveillance, their searches our own; we turn their taste in reading and thinking and expressing themselves into ours. Someday, there's a great book to be written on all the hidden triumphs of that ever-more powerful shadow state that has embedded its version of the American way of life inside our own. In the meantime, check out TomDispatch regular Rebecca Gordon's account of how we create our own no-fly lists and become our own no-fliers in the unfriendly skies of twenty-first-century America.

The no-fly follies
How to censor yourself before the government even has the chance
By Rebecca Gordon
It was August 2002. My partner Jan Adams and I were just beginning our annual pilgrimage to Massachusetts to visit my father and stepmother. At the check-in line at San Francisco International Airport, we handed over our driver's licenses and waited for the airline ticket agent to find our flight and reservation. Suddenly, she got a funny look on her face. "There's something wrong with the computer," she said. "I need to talk to my supervisor."
So began a day of confusion and fear, followed by several years of indignation, frustration, and litigation, as we struggled to find out why — as the agent's supervisor soon informed us with a similarly strange look on her face — we'd both "turned up on the FBI's no-fly list." Her eyes grew wide as she looked us over. "I don't understand it," she said. "You don't fit the profile."
She was right, of course. A pair of middle-aged, middle-class, white lesbians did not fit the profile of the "Arab terrorists" she expected the no-fly list to contain. What she didn't know was that our suitcases held hundreds of copies of War Times/Tiempo de guerras, a free, bilingual antiwar tabloid we'd helped start. Could aging pacifists have fit the danger-to-America profile?
You might think that the no-fly list is old news, a relic of the panicked early days following the 9/11 attacks. In fact, as recently as 2012, there were still more than 21,000 names on the list, and it seems unlikely to have gotten any shorter since then, though we do know of at least four names that, with some legal prodding from the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), were recently removed from it: Muhammad Tanvir, Jameel Algibhah, Naveed Shinwari, and Awais Sajjad. All four men were American citizens or permanent residents who ended up on the list as retaliation for refusing to become FBI informers and tell tales on their neighbors and others in Muslim communities in this country. For years, they could not visit wives, children, or ailing relatives in countries like Pakistan and Yemen.
According to a suit filed by the CCR in 2014, as reported by Conor Friedersdorf in the Atlantic, Jameel Algibhah's troubles began in 2009, when he refused the FBI's request to infiltrate a mosque in Queens, New York. The legal complaint continues:
"When Mr. Algibhah declined to do so, the agents then asked Mr. Algibhah to participate in certain online Islamic forums and 'act like an extremist.' When Mr. Algibhah again declined, the agents asked Mr. Algibhah to inform on his community in his neighborhood. The FBI agents offered Mr. Algibhah money and told him that they could bring his family from Yemen to the United States very quickly if he became an informant. Mr. Algibhah again told the FBI agents that he would not become an informant."
So the FBI retaliated. Since 2010, Jameel Algibhah has been unable to visit his wife and three daughters in Yemen. Not content with preventing Algibhah and the other three from flying, the FBI began interviewing their friends, family, acquaintances, and employers, generating suspicion about them. "They lost jobs, were stigmatized within their communities, and suffered severe financial and emotional distress," reports the CCR.
In June 2015, just before their case was to go to court, the men received letters from the government officially informing them that their names had been removed from the list. The CCR believes that "the letters are a de facto acknowledgment that the men never posed a security threat of any kind and that the FBI only listed them to coerce them into spying on their faith community."
The letters restored the men's right to fly, but they didn't make up for years of stigma and distress. So the four continued their litigation, but on September 3rd, a federal judge dismissed their suit, which means that they will not get any recompense for the damage done to their lives. In June 2015, the Associated Press reported that Assistant U.S. Attorney Ellen Blain argued the case should not continue, in part for reasons of "national security" and because "neither the law nor the evidence supported finding the agents personally liable for violating the plaintiffs' constitutional rights." In fact, the government's original motion to dismiss the suit argued that "there is no constitutional right not to become an informant." That's right. Your government says that if it wants to make you a snitch, you have no right to refuse.
Given that these four men without criminal records or any other obvious reason for government suspicion were, like my partner and me, put on the no-fly list leads me to wonder about the other 21,000 people on that list, including at least 500 Americans. (In fact the overall number could turn out to be as high as 44,000, according to "60 Minutes," or even 48,000, according to the Associated Press. We just don't know because, like so much else in our new post-9/11 world, information about the list remains classified.)
What did all those other people on the list do or refuse to do? How have their lives been damaged? And how dangerous are they really? My partner and I certainly had no intention of turning our airplane into a terrorist weapon. What are the odds that any of the other 21,000 or 44,000 or 48,000 people did? And if potential airplane bombers or hijackers do exist, what are the odds that any of them are actually on the FBI's list? After all, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the "underwear bomber," wasn't. Neither was the infamous "shoe bomber" Richard Reid. All this list-making has been marked by an odd — and dangerous — combination of intrusion and incompetence.
The National Insecurity State
In our case, even though we didn't fit "the profile," the agent, a little shakily, followed her protocol. She called the San Francisco Police, who have an airport substation. Three armed members of the city's finest arrived a few minutes later to stand guard over us and our luggage in the middle of the lobby, while they waited to hear from headquarters about whether we were on what they called the "master list." No one ever told us what this "master list" was, or how it was different from the list the airline's computer was consulting. As I pondered the master list, and our chances of appearing on it, my mind kept wandering to those copies of War Times sitting a yard away from the officers' feet. Suppose they asked to open our luggage? How would they react when they saw those papers?
To be honest, both of us figured that two white U.S. citizens with plenty of class privilege were not going to suffer anything much worse than a missed flight, and it turned out that we didn't even miss our flight. After about 20 minutes, however, I was getting antsy — and thirsty.
"Would one of you officers walk over there with me, so I can get a drink?" I asked, pointing to a water fountain across the way.
"No. We're going to stay right here until we hear from headquarters," came the reply.
The initial sense of fear was slowly draining away as the minutes ticked by and passengers boarded the flight we now feared they were never going to let us get on. I knew it was time to draw on my dramatic chops. (Sometimes it helps to have an actor for a father.) Putting on my best Frightened Little Woman voice, I asked, "Suppose we are on this master list? Then what? Are you going to arrest us?"
"We wouldn't arrest you, but we'll have to detain you until the FBI gets here and decides what they want to do with you," came the answer.
We were probably all relieved when, a few minutes later, the lead officer's walkie-talkie crackled to life with news from headquarters. We weren't, it seemed, on the "master list." So the officers marked our boarding passes with a big red "S" — which we learned years later stands for "selectee" — put our luggage through a special X-ray machine (but never opened it), and escorted us past security to our gate, with the airline agent in tow. There, they saw us onto our flight.
I turned to the agent. "Is this going to happen every time we fly?"
"I don't know," she replied, "but if I were you, I'd get to the airport early."
To our surprise, more police met us at our stopover in Chicago, where we changed planes, perhaps in case we decided to blow up the airport. They then escorted us to the next gate, waiting with us until we boarded.
Once in Boston, we continued our journey unhassled by bus and boat to Martha's Vineyard. However, on either that trip or a later one — my memory fails me — our ferry to the island was escorted out of Woods Hole harbor by two 50-foot Coast Guard Zodiac boats, each sporting a 50mm machine gun on the bow — as if we might be attacked in the coastal waters of Massachusetts, and by an enemy capable of being defeated by a machine gun. Once we got to deep water, where such an attack would be more likely, however, our escorts turned around and left us defenseless. I promptly burst out laughing.
"Well, I don't know about you," growled a well-dressed guy standing beside me on the deck, "but it makes me feel more secure."
A lot of unlikely things made many Americans feel more secure in those days and still do. Maybe it was because we were then — and remain today — frightened in a way that bears no relation to any actual threat we face. That fear, however, feeds the desire of the national security state to maintain its centrality in our lives. Among the curious things that added to our sense of "security" in those years: the rounding up of 600 Muslims living in this country in the days following 9/11, who were then tortured and held incommunicado in a Brooklyn detention center for six months; the suggestion from a liberal columnist in Newsweek that it was "time to think about torture"; or to mention just a couple of no-fly follies — putting Senator Teddy Kennedy on the list, along with at least one nun, and until 2008, Nelson Mandela. (That was also the year he was finally taken off the U.S. terrorism watch list.) Oh yes, and don't forget a couple of no-name peace activists.
As it happens, at the time we had our experience at San Francisco airport, my stepmother's brother was a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, the guy the Chron had assigned to the Unabomber story some years before. When he got her email about our run-in with the national security state, he was on the phone to her immediately. Did she think we would be willing to talk to a reporter? Oh, yes, my stepmom assured him, we definitely would. And thus began perhaps the longest-running "story" I've ever been part of. Three years later, we were still getting requests from German and Dutch television stations to reenact the event at the airport. While we in this country settled into the new normal, it turned out that Europeans remained shocked by U.S. government doings.
As it happened — the FBI really had done a lousy job of vetting us — my partner was then consulting for the Northern California ACLU. When she told them about our experience, they wondered: Would we be willing to let them file a Freedom of Information Act request on our behalf to try to figure out how this had happened? We agreed in hopes that the documentation we got our hands on would help us understand how we'd gotten on the no-fly list in the first place and — far more important to us at that moment — whether or not we'd been removed. We also shared the ACLU's more general concern that this list was fast becoming a tool of government fear mongering and coercion. That concern turned out to be well founded.
But we were, of course, living in the post-9/11 United States, in an era in which the government seems to have given up pretending that it has to obey the law when it comes to anything that falls under the category of "national security." So we didn't even get a reply to our FOIA request (although in theory the government was obligated to respond to it) — at least not until the ACLU sued. By this time I'm sure you won't be shocked to discover that the pro bono attorney working on the case for them also found himself on the no-fly list.
Eventually, the ACLU's suit did bring us about 300 pages of paper from the feds. But most of what was written on those 300 pages had been redacted — completely blacked out. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer (brother of Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer) was not amused. He made the feds show him privately every document they wouldn't allow us to see and required them to explain the rationale for each redaction. But we never saw the unredacted material ourselves. Who knows what those 300 pages contained, and how much of it was about us personally? Judge Breyer did at least award the ACLU $200,000 in court costs for their efforts. But we never found out why we were on the list in the first place. That was a secret he allowed the feds to keep, presumably to prevent prospective terrorists from figuring out how to avoid getting listed. Here's a hint: don't publish an antiwar newspaper.
The only time we've had trouble flying since then was when my partner took the same airline to Chicago for a United for Peace and Justice conference. Apparently, some people are only dangerous on some airlines.
When I told our no-fly story to an ethics class of mine recently, one of my students asked, "So who won, you or the government?" I had to stop and think about that. After all, while the ACLU got their expenses back, which was a moral win, but we never found out why we were on the list, or even whether we'd been removed.
Then I remembered something else: just how afraid I was that day simply because we were carrying multiple copies of a perfectly legal antiwar paper in a perfectly legal manner. I remembered as well how frightened I later became after one of the pages that the ACLU shook loose from the government suggested that our names might have been sent as potential terrorists to U.S. embassies and agencies all over the world. (This may have been as part of another example of what seems to be endless post-9/11 government list gathering: the State Department's Consular Lookout and Support System, known as "CLASS.")
And I thought about those four Muslim Americans on the no-fly list because they refused to become FBI informants, and about Rahinah Ibrahim, a Malaysian student studying at Stanford University who ended up on the list because an FBI agent checked the wrong box on a form. Nine years later, she finally won her suit to get off the list, only to find that the U.S. embassy in Malaysia had revoked her student visa — because she'd ended up on the CLASS list, as a result of the same original error. I thought about all the nuns, babies, and people with the misfortune to be named Mohammed who ended up on the list in error. And I was struck by the fact that, for 14 years, the national security state has been serving up a uniquely pernicious stew of incompetence and intransigence.
Finally, I thought about the times I've quietly chosen not to carry a particular book, or wear a particular T-shirt or button, when travelling by air. No reason to give the Transportation Security Administration any more excuses to pay me special attention. It's easier, safer, just to conform. So did my partner and I win our suit? When so many of us become frightened enough of our own government to do its censoring for it, I'd say that we've all lost.

Different point of sale systems have different card readers. If you'll only make sales in your store at a fixed checkout location, then you may not be picky about the type of card reader you choose. However, if you plan to set up a booth at local events, then you'll want a small, portable card reader. These may connect to a tablet so the screen is small and mobile too. You may even be able to use the card reader with a smartphone. Whether you want to accept credit cards in your store or when you're on the go, you'll want a reader with the latest chip technology so your customers' information is secure.
A good point of sale system is more than just a way to take credit cards. It can also track your inventory so you always know when it's time to reorder stock. The system can notify you after a certain amount of sales so you can reorder before you run low. Inventory tracking is essential if you sell a variety of items and keep a large inventory on hand. However, even if you have a small inventory, automatic tracking is helpful. You'll be able to run reports that show you the status of your inventory and which items are hot sellers. An automated system saves a lot of time, especially if you run your shop by yourself.
You can even use the system to collect information on your customers for further marketing. You might collect emails or physical addresses so you can contact your customers about future sales or new additions to your inventory. This is an effective way to gain repeat business and save on your marketing costs, especially if you send notices by email. Your system may even generate customer loyalty rewards or coupons for current customers to use. Offering customer-only coupons is a good incentive for getting email addresses from your customers.
Point of sale systems have a variety of functions. You may not need advanced features when first opening your shop if you want to keep costs low. In that case, your main concern may be with a basic card reader. However, you may eventually find it useful to use a system that helps you manage your customers and your inventory or that integrates with accounting and payroll software for increased accuracy and convenience.

The site states that 99% of their customers have been happy with the work provided for them, and there are reviews from past customers given. They are, however, rather brief, and don't really explain what it's like working with Pay For Essay. There are samples offered on the site, but when you click the link there's only four available, and only one of them is a custom essay. When each assignment is so individual to the customer, these examples don't really cut it in showing them what they can expect.
Payforessay.net offers a pricing table, which allows potential students to price up their essay before they pay up and commit to working with the service. For a 10 page essay, the service charges differently depending on the level of expertise needed. A high school essay will $139.50, an undergraduate one $189.50, and a Ph.D. essay $259.50. This is a unique pricing structure in the world of academic writing, and may be of interest to students who may be able to get cheaper essays this way. As far as we could see, there were no discount codes or coupons available.
Like most academic writing sites, Pay For Essay offers a couple of different methods for getting in touch. There's a 24/7, toll free phone number, and the ubiquitous live chat function.
There's not a lot that sets Payforessay.net apart from any other service. Their prices for students are more or less on a par with other services, and there isn't a lot of evidence that the quality of their work is as legit as others. In short, there's not a lot to recommend them.

I need an insight about this company, you do not recommend, but need more info!!
THIS SERVICE IS A SCAM, I paid 90 dollars for an essay lined with plagiarized material. When I told customer service that I used a free plagiarism checker, they asked that I pay for a 60 dollar plagiarism report to verify it was in fact plagiarized. I had them do a revision, and the edits were mere paraphrasing of the prior content (STILL CONSIDERED PLAGIARISM). I had no luck with customer service, so I decided to dispute the charge on my credit card when I received a THREATENING LETTER essentially stating that If I did not pay they would release all of my personal info to every single web channel they have access to. This is a clear case of unethical behavior which classifies as corporate blackmail per California State Law. Furthermore defamation of my character is at risk as well. I am currently in the process of filing suit. AVOID AT ALL COST, NOT WORTH WORKING WITH AN UNETHICAL SERVICE PROVIDER!!!!!

Q: Network die after a while I have an odd problem with a wired connection on 16.04.3. It seems different from similar problems found here.
When I start my ubuntu server, it works fine but after a short time it disconnects from network, I can only restart it. The more I work, for example big file transfer, the faster it stop working. Tipically few minutes.
The only hint I have is: internet stops first. I mean: from linux box, if I ping something like www.google.com it works, at beginning. After few minutes it cannot resolve names.

Since August 2017, OM has been sending teams once or twice a month to the refugee camps in Cox's Bazar where an estimated 700,000 Rohingya have fled violence in Myanmar. The teams have developed a good relationship with the army and in April were asked to assist in the distribution of food and supplies to families that did not have enough.
A small team was able to distribute items including food, soap and umbrellas for protection from the sweltering summer sun and coming monsoon rains to 1,000 families. Team members spend time with the children, giving them protection from the sun, cutting their nails, combing their hair and making them feel seen and loved.
"We're aware that it's just [a] little we can do, but we know God called us to not look away, but do something," shared programme coordinator Pastor Saul. "When we pray, 'Your kingdom come, on earth as it is in heaven,' what do we pray? Is there hunger in heaven? Homelessness? No. If we as Christians pray this prayer, we also need to act. Prayer is not enough. We need to help as well."

Reading the GNOME Human Interface Guidelines gives a good idea on how to arrange elements and reduce complexity. The HIGs also emphasize on having a clear goal which helps in deciding which elements need to be arranged at all. But I did not grasp the wideness of being purpose-driven for this goal of the application which might then mean to abstract from technical details on the way. So now I try to explain this observation here.
I think there are two opposite paradigms one can follow in UI design, and thus what users can expect from UIs. This is not a thorough research on the topic, so you can leave a comment if you have insights to share on whether this view is mistaken. Maybe you will find your own examples during reading if you try to think about image, audio and video formats and their parameters, or network connection and encryption stuff in UIs.
The first paradigm is to make features accessible in the UI. This could just mean showing technical choices and configuration values coming from an API or command line tools. The UI serves as big toolbox with few limits, allowing to be creative and meet various use cases. But from the viewpoint of a newbie it is a big frustration to use these kind of applications because the options don't have a meaning. Reaching the point where all implications of the parameters are understood is not possible in a few minutes. The whole research task for appropriate parameters has been offloaded to the user.
Therefore, the other paradigm comes into play and thinks from the main purpose of the UI and what elements it needs to reach the goal. That's what I expect in GNOME. The technical details go to the background and may not be found as UI elements anymore. This needs clever ways to find optimal parameters, or studies of the technical and social/psychological conditions to reduce the workload for the user. First this looks like hiding 'features' and configuration options (i.e. technical details) but it might be good to take a step back and look at the state of IT. Is it really necessary that everyone fiddles around with the available technical options? Can the decision for a configuration value be automated or evaluated? And how did we get into the situation of having so many competing 'standards' and a rag rug of solutions for the different layers involved and all this strange legacy stuff needed for compatibility.
Maybe we first need to work on a algorithms, libraries and single standards in order to be able to reduce UI complexity. But it's not always possible to find unique technical solutions for the whole planet and we have to expose some of this strange acronyms and abbreviations in the UI and hope that users have an idea of their meaning. The result is a mixed approach of both paradigms where necessary.
Assessing every option for the given use case and conditions is a lot of work and sometimes a final judgement can't be made concerning issues with inter-OS compatibility, snapshots, Linux file permissions, encryption and performance (storage type, in-kernel drivers). With the Opus audio codec joint efforts came finally to a good general solution, maybe too late. But for filesystems it's much more complex and the operating systems also have significant differences.
Ext4, NTFS and FAT are the current default filesystems in Disks but maybe exFAT is already more relevant and could e.g. replace both NTFS and FAT or even cover a distinct use case – that needs further research.
But also for Linux-only use cases there are other filesystems than Ext4 which could replace it as default choice or at least cover special demands like snapshots or being suited for flash storage. Listing all these use cases would almost have the same effect like listing the filesystems with explanation, and that is what should be avoided for a common formating action of an external hard drive to back up some files.
I think that this flexibility is needed because I don't see a single filesystem to emerge soon which fits all the demands. But I would highly appreciate if people do not have to think about filesystems anymore because operating systems switched to let's say Btrfs in collaboration and even your digital camera can handle it.
With this fallback available there is less pressure in finding optimal choices for the major use cases. It can be observed if they need to be adjusted instead of campaigning for agreement on e.g. a single Linux-only and also a single inter-OS filesystem. Still it would be nice to find out how user interaction can be reduced and less options presented by e.g. user surveys or applying automatic constraints based on the context.
I mostly agree with what is written, especially with the two ways to approach UI design. I have used both, going a use case driven approach for end user oriented applications and directly exposing technical all technical details mostly in internal tools for development.
Convergence towards a single filesystem won't ever happen and even if it did you'd still have to deal with legacy hardware that is not compatible with it.
Good point of view on the situation. Unlike other systems, the format dialog in Linux will always be a little more complex because of all the options that are available, in addition the Linux user not only has to think of something that works on their platform, but also works on other platforms like Windows.
Grouping the options into "cross-platform file systems" vs. "native linux file systems" would help reduce descriptions and the user to be clear about what they require. For example: cross-platform file systems; FAT is the perfect legacy file system, exFAT for partitions larger than 32GB or file sharing greater than 4GB (FAT Limit) and NTFS to journaled file system compatible with Windows. For native linux file system, Ext4 is a multipurpose journaled file system, XFS enterprise journaled filesystem, Btrfs a cow file system, F2FS for flash devices, etc.
Ext4 is the most standard file system on Linux, but it is not multipurpose. It is not useful to be used in a pendrive for example. Anyway the standard in that area is microsoft lightweight file systems.
Allan's mockup is very good, however would make some changes. For example NTFS would put it in "others" and instead put exFAT maybe using the same analogy as Ext4 and XFS, "volume larger than …" compare to FAT. On the other hand, it should be considered that the format dialog will be used mostly for external devices. Describing that a file system is for internal use is rare, since others such as Btrfs or XFS can accomplish the same task. The option to create a Swap partition should be removed, as this should be the installer's task, also major distros like Ubuntu have switched to using a Swap file.
The file systems shown in the last mockup have a clear purpose, I don't understand why it would be necessary to display all those file system available in Udisks.
Nice work!, I thought gnome-disks was dead and it's good that someone is interested in renewing it a little. I think that simple is better, the user should not think much about it, however, with a brief description is not enough and the acronyms can not mean anything, so it should be complemented with good piece of documentation.

the wait is over. the world cup is finally here. it has been day day of clashes. -- a day of classes -- clashes. welcome to our viewers on public television in america and around the globe. president obama says he's looking at all options to tackle the islamist insurgents advancing on baghdad. while military action is on the table, sending in ground troops is not. his comments come after days of advances by the insurgents. key cities inured a rack and thousands have been forced to flee. irbil.ve gone to >> bloody chaos in iraq. this has brought the u.s. to the brink of military intervention.
two and a half years after american forces left. iraqi government is struggling on several fronts. large swathes of territory are in the militants' grip. government troops have fallen back in disarray, humiliated. isis was triumphant. the spokesman proclaims the jihad will continue. .et ready, o baghdad, after iraq, he says, iran is next. iraqiw, this is the government's answer, airstrikes. this alone will not retake the lost territory.
no surprise that the roads into kurdish controlled areas are choked. initial glut of terrified people has abated, but there is a steady flow through this checkpoint. behind them, they leave the beginnings of what isis calls its islamic emirates. is one nothing less than to redraw the map of the entire middle east -- want nothing less than to redraw the map of the entire middle east. that prospect flies -- frightens those who fled. others simply loathe and fear isis in equal measure. the family of a murdered , the three-year-old's father was shot and killed a year ago. they braved a field of fire to escape, rather than live under isis.
they left their bread baking in the oven and ran. the woman describes a harrowing escape. the army discarded their uniforms because of isis snipers, she says. but then the snipers fired on everyone. governmenttol, loyalists rush to join up. it is barely conceivable, but baghdad could fall to the jihdaadists. the americans will not take that chance. >> as we reported earlier, president obama is considering how to deal with the insurgents. in the u.k. they have offered humanitarian assistance, but stated they will not participate in military action. what help might america give iraq? here is our security correspondent, frank gardner. >> iraq is in danger of being
torn apart. militiamen from the shia majority have been fighting the and alorces of isis, qaeda splinter group. the baghdad government has appealed for help. iran said they are considering it, and so too is president obama with conditions. >> there will be short-term immediate things that need to be our militarily, and national security team is looking at all the options. this should also be a wake-up call for the iraqi government. there has to be a political component to this. >> reaper drones could be deployed. helicopters,s. shared intelligence. in this complex fight, washington says there will be no u.s. boots on the ground. are syria and iraq
experiencing violent insurgencies, increasingly sectarian, mostly between sunni and shia muslims. the sunnis are concentrated in the north and the west. sunni groupnatical present in iraq and syria. byiraq, it is being helped that sunni resentment against the government. this month, they have taken iraq's second citys. genesishis could be the of a new islamist ministate, one in the heart of the middle east. >> this is a mafia situation we have faced in iraq. the security of the region is in question. >> british troops spent eight years in iraq after the controversial us-led invasion of 2003. will they now be heading back? absolutely not, says the government. >> we will support the united
states in anything that they decide to do, we are in consultation with them. i stress again that it is for the iraqi leadership primarily to respond to this. this is a democratic country with an elected government and considerable resources. iraq's armies simply ran away from the fighters of isis. if this fight comes to the capitol, isis may have found that it overreached itself. frank gardner, bbc news. >> for more on the military options being considered by the u.s., i spoke with democratic senator joe manchin. the airstrikes is something that has been talked about trade it's more powerful than anything else that can be suggested. i don't think there's an appetite. i have not sensed the appetite from the armed services committee in the united states sentence -- senate for us to
have u.s. boots on the ground. i have often said if money or military might could change that part of the world, the united states of america would have done it by now. we have spent enough in resources and sacrifices of our soldiers. that has not changed. if anything, it has gotten more intense. >> america spent nearly $25 billion helping iraq's forces. what do americans think when they see iraqi soldiers deserting that help? >> -- hope? >> they are hoping for a better outcome than what we have had. i don't think anyone has asked in our meetings today and no one regimentsour basically just deserted, would not even fight, not even engage. you wonder who is monitoring this. these are answers we need also. with that being said, you asked about the airstrikes. we will see if that is what is required. if that is what is required and
we know they are able to take up the fight, the iraqis themselves, the people we , if they are able to do that and push them back -- >> you think that would be the right option? >> airstrikes would be the thing that we would be able to assist and help. hopefully we can get other countries to help us too. >> how much support is there for helping iraq on the armed forces committee? basically there are a sovereign nation, they have that right. they did not accept or want our help. i did not want to stay there. i'm thankful for the direction they had gone. there's never a right time to get out. you would like to see sooner or later that they are willing to fight and die for their country, not just because of the religious sect they may be a part of. we need to see that commitment, and we have not. thinkstor mccain said he
the entire white house national security team should be sacked because this is an entire -- this is a colossal failure. >> that is his opinion. i respect that. i don't have the same opinion on that, because that is saying we kept troops in there in perpetuity. i'm not of that mindset. again, if money or military might with had it, we would have done it. how long is long enough, how should we say -- how long should we stay, and what is the right time to get out, there's never a right time. >> you have many veterans in your state. what do they think when they see baghdad being threatened? >> i would think there is -- they are as stunned and shocked as i am. i'm going to be going home this weekend. being able to talk to them directly and find out their feelings about that -- i still don't feel in my heart that they are thinking, we have got to go
back in there. sooner or later, we are going to leave. iraqiaqi people, the government, they have to decide. they have to decide this is a country worth fighting for. do they want to have terror the rest of their lives and faith that, or fight back? we are willing to support and help in anyway we can except putting troops on the ground. if that's what we can do to regain control of their country, it is something that will be considered. >> thank you for joining us. themore note on iraq, former u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton weighed in on what she thinks needs to happen within the country on an interview in the bbc program "newsnight." >> there need to be a number of steps that the government must take to demonstrate that he is committed to and inclusive iraq, something he has not done to date. the army, which has not been
able to hold territory, has to have an injection of discipline and professionalism, something the u.s. has been trying to help with. he has to be willing to demonstrate unequivocally that he is a leader for all iraqis, not for a sick carrion slice of the country -- sectarian slice of the country. >> the world cup is officially underway in brazil tonight. there have been clashes between police and protesters. the first game is being played in são paulo. how electric is the atmosphere? >> the atmosphere has been fantastic. it all seemed a bit understated, rather quiet. as the day has gone on here in são paulo, the excitement and fever pitch levels have risen. the decibel levels have gone up. more and more people pouring out
onto the streets. the sound of whistles, firecrackers going up into the sky. you really do sense that the brazilians who have deck himself andhemselves out in green gold are really up for the football and want to watch what is going on, and supporting the national side. >> presumably brazil's government is hoping the kickoff will diminish the intensity of those protests. any sign of that? well, you know what, there was one protest today of any note in são paulo. 300 people.250 to normally you would say, that's irrelevant. the way made a story is the riot police reacted to such a small group of political diehards. they went in with tear gas, stun grenades, rubber bullets. is the next ordinary
reaction to a few people. i suspect that is exactly what the demonstrators had hoped for, and it might act as a recruiting sergeant to bring other people out onto the streets to protest in greater numbers. >> are you seeing fans who have traveled to brazil from all over the world? >> yes, and that's the lovely thing of international tournament like this. you see the flags, you see the shirts from everywhere where there are people playing. japanese fans a little bit earlier on, they had flown halfway around the world to be here to support japan, even though realistically they have little chance of winning. italian fans, french fans, you name it. interestingly, even some people have come to brazil to be part of the world cup even though they say they don't have a dog in the race. their team is not playing, but
they want to be soaking up the world cup atmosphere. the most fantastic tournament, and that is why it continues to attract these huge audiences around the world on television, but particularly, people want to come here to sample the atmosphere. >> which game are you personally looking forward to the most? have got to declare an interest. i'm an england fan. i am obviously going to be watching those england games very closely. the other game i'm really looking forward to seeing, a match on sunday, a is argentina versus bosnia. bosnia's first visit to a world cup. game willhere of that be quite something. i'm really looking forward to that. >> anglin-italy for me. thanks, john. you are watching "bbc world news america." have to come, mexico may

The team will, however, get captured but will find a way to escape from the hands of Grodd.
While the four superheroes are busy on their rescue mission for Dr. Wells, Jesse will reportedly stay with Kid Flash on Earth-1 to face another villain on the upcoming episode of "The Flash" season 3. Speaking of TV Line, actress Violett Beane revealed that the first two-part episode of the series will be more exciting and thrilling for fans and viewers to watch.
A battle of the gorillas will reportedly be seen in the thirteenth and fourteenth episodes of "The Flash" season 3. Beane further hinted that sequences of battle and fighting scenarios are prepared, which are reportedly massive and are rarely seen on televisions.
