Facebook has recently undergone a complete redesign. If you haven’t seen it on your personal page yet, you will soon. The global platform has avoided a dramatic change-up in framework since the dawn of its creation, but with time comes the need for change.
‘The New Facebook’ or FB5, was designed as a solution to recent controversy about Facebook’s past privacy and security standards. The platform is shifting its focus to private-based communication. “The future is private,” said Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, at his recent F8 developer conference keynote.
This next chapter for Facebook incorporates an extensive shift in personal privacy settings. Users are able to retake control of who has access to their posts and account. If you haven’t been able to share or view someone’s post, it is most likely due to the updated settings. The company also hinted at being more active in monitoring what is published on the site. This comes as a highly anticipated feature for social media networks.
The redesign goes further into the overall appearance of the networking giant. Facebook has taken the minimalist approach to rid their outdated standard design. This simple look is an opportunity for Facebook to prevail in a highly competitive networking industry. Twitter, Facebook’s ultimate rival, has continuously updated their look to fit a modern appeal. If Facebook wants to continue to compete, this change is all the more necessary.
FB5 now offers the option to enable night-mode, similar to that of Twitter, or a lighter mode. This option is considered to be cleaner and eliminate clutter. While this may take some time to adapt to, this feature is long overdue.
Facebook is also aiming to concentrate on groups and businesses. The News Feed will now share a space with Groups, Marketplace, Watch and Gaming. The top of the Home page introduces these five separate categories, allowing the user to pick which they would like to set as their default. The familiar search bar has been minimized and moved to the left of the Home page.
The new design is targeting to accommodate its wide variety of users, yet many everyday Facebook users have reported this design to be confusing and challenging. Are you having issues with the new Facebook design? Give us your feedback.
To enable the update, go to the Settings menu, select switch to new Facebook and begin your experience.

The Victoria Humane Society says an eight-week-old puppy is ready for adoption after being brought back to life from an apparent overdose three weeks ago.
In a Facebook post, the society says “Skittles” arrived “flat and unresponsive” at VCA Canada Central Victoria Veterinary Hospital emergency three weeks ago.
The post gives credit to the fast actions of Dr. Christin MacIntyre and veterinary staff for administering NARCAN, a nasal form of naloxone used to treat a known or suspected opioid overdose.
Officials say Skittles “popped back to life” after the treatment and said Thursday night that he is doing great and is ready for a new home.
Oaklands Veterinary Hospital posted a video Friday morning of Skittles playing with the clinic’s resident ferret “Goose”.
Skittles is believed to be a Shih Tzu/Puggle mix and is currently six pounds, expected to small or medium when grown.
The Victoria Humane Society says if you are interested in adopting Skittles can fill out an application on its website.

COP28 is a milestone event for the world to unite, act, and deliver.
From November 30 to December 12, 2023, the United Arab Emirates will be at the forefront of global climate action as it hosts the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change in Dubai. This pivotal event promises to be a convergence of ideas, solutions, and actions, bringing together a diverse range of stakeholders including governments, youth, business leaders, investors, civil society, frontline communities, indigenous peoples, and more. The COP28 thematic program is meticulously crafted to focus on escalating solutions essential for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees, enhancing resilience, and mobilizing finance at scale. This year's conference is particularly significant as it aligns with the response to the Global Stocktake, a critical assessment of where the world stands in its climate action and support, identifying gaps and forging solution pathways for 2030 and beyond.
The programming each day at COP28 is built around four cross-cutting themes: Technology and Innovation, Inclusion, Frontline Communities, and Finance, ensuring a holistic approach to addressing climate change. These themes will be woven into the conference's fabric through both content and speakers, promising a comprehensive and multifaceted dialogue. The COP28 Presidency has outlined an ambitious plan of action, aimed at marrying high aspirations for negotiated outcomes with a robust agenda for real-world implementation. This plan calls upon governments and key climate stakeholders to engage actively in four critical areas: accelerating the energy transition, fixing climate finance, focusing on nature, people, lives, and livelihoods, and ensuring full inclusivity in all climate actions. COP28 is set to be not just a meeting point for discussion, but a launchpad for tangible, impactful climate action.
Don't miss the opportunity to be part of this transformative global event. Scroll down now to discover Savoir Flair’s comprehensive 14-day guide to the can't-miss events and activities at COP28, where each day brings new insights and opportunities to drive meaningful climate action.

I could not care less about Mississippi River stories, I really don't. Vampires are totally indifferent to me.
But I LOVED this book, which is a testament to Martin's incredibly effective skills as a storyteller and in the development of splendidly all rounded characters. Even the evil Julian is promoter of an canning logic when he rationalises his actions.
You get so close to the characters that when you read the events of the 16 years time gap you can feel a very clear feeling of sadness for them: this is a book on dreams unaccomplished.
The 5th star is not there only because of a fairly anticlimactic finale, but the overall book remains a little gem
Like most people, I'm glad to have few authors that I know (or at least, I like to think I know) whatever I read by them I'll enjoy it, and Martin is one of those authors.
After reading A song of Ice and Fire and Dying of the Light (both in spanish), I was looking forward to get Fevre Dream translated in a way which wouldn't scare people, but as it seemed to take an eternity, finally I tired and decided to get it in English. And thanks Gods I got it that way! For the steamboat old English slang&dialect is almost priceless.
For now, I'm not gonna explain the plot of it (for that's something anyone can easily get in a hundred websites) but the impression it caused to me.
The book itself chases the spirit of steamboating's kingdom, and despite the fact that one could not be used to river-life argot, that doesn't suppose any obstacles for a good development. From my point of view, that's one of the strengths of this novel: Martin creates such an atmosphere that people who, like me, dislike everything that has to do with aeronautic machinery and sea life ends the book loving ithem. I ended up just fascinated by the magnificence of Mississipi back at 1870's and its charming decadence which Martin recreates in such a splendid way.
The characters are also valuable things: from Abner Marsh, who everybody ends falling in love with despite any bad thing Martin says of him, to Joshua York, an odd vampire, one of a kind.
Moreover, Marsh is a godforsaken man who has had the misfortune to have all his business broken, but still chases his big dream: to own a steamboat such big and fast that can beat Eclipse boat (Mississipi's pearl great part of the book), and throughout all the misfortune that's still awaiting for him in the novel, he never loose the will to have Fevre Dream on his own and accomplish his dream. His strength and mankind which is revealed along the book makes Abner Marsh one of the most likeable characters, leaving a strong impression on the reader.
York needs his own explanation: he seemed to me a very ambiguous character from the start, maybe it's just me but almost first half book I was doubting whether he was the vampire that reviews told us we would find in Fevre Dream or not. He has a purpouse, a dream, as Marsh has his own, and he will do whatever is on his hands to accomplish that. Against York, I can only say that due to what literature has always tought about vampires, York sometimes seems too naïve, too good to be a vampire, and makes you wanna slap him and tell him to react. But he's also a likeable character, although I wouldn't have disliked a little bit more explanation of his childhood or youth, and that's for sure because I enjoyed a lot the reading.
The other characters are special themselves too, and except the very secundary ones, each and every single one has something which leaves a mark on you, chiefly Demon Julian, who embodies the darkest side of vampires, the beast itself, who even has escaped the thirst. I would have liked (as it happens with with York) a little bit more explanation about his early years, that story about being the best friend of a rich man's son and how he made this last one fall in love with him. Had it been longer, it would have told a lot about Julian nature.
And the last one, the silent main character of this novel, the Fevre Dream itself. When I first heard about Fevre Dream I thought Fevre was the name of the vampire and the story was about a dream of his, and I was a little bit upset when I found out that Fevre wasn't nothing more than a river which died into Mississipi, and Fevre Dream was the name of the steamboat. But then, after reading the novel, I understood that Fevre Dream was a character itself all along, the main character that rests silent along the story but also what triggers it all. She (as Marsh categorizes the boat) awakes different emotions on them all: for Joshua York is a mere instrument to reach his dream, while for Abner Marsh is the dream itself, and it ends abandoned and world-wide forgotten in wetlands due to Damon Julian hand, who merely doesn't care about her.
But the truth is that everyone appearing in the novel has some characteristic treat that makes you remember him for days, as the book itself makes you think of it before going to sleep and makes you wanna read more about steamboats and Mississipis and vampires, but that new kind of vampires Martin has brought us, not that teenage stuff. And the last lines of the novel are simply golden, the epilogue, one of the best I've ever read.
As summary, I really recomend Fevre Dream to everyone who wants to read an original and well-written story about Mississipi 1857's life and all it carries with it, about a new point of view of vampires, about friendship beyond differences and, basically, about the dream of achieving the own dreams....Continua
Few book's about Vampires come along that have the the courage to redo the worn out feel of these night creatures. Fevre Dream is one such book, that places them in very different atmosphere from the norm with some very rich and deep characters. It reminds me of a harder version of "The Strange Adventures of Jesse Hunter", another novel that dares to change the myth in a new and original way....Continua

A catalyst for the future of data protection
In yesteryears, it was the banks which were demonised as the banes of society, especially in the wake of the financial crises a decade ago. Now technology companies, once perceived as seemingly righteous forces for good, now appear to be subject to a less glamorous impression amongst many. The latest event to support this idea broke out in March this year, when it was revealed that Facebook, a social media behemoth, as well as other companies, were involved in a significant data breach.
On both sides of the Atlantic, regulators have sought to take a closer look at any potential wrongdoing. At the time of publication, Facebook’s CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, began his testimony at a committee meeting in Congress. The UK’s information watchdog has also conducted its own investigation.
The saga encompasses connotative allegations too, involving the election of Donald Trump as well as the Brexit referendum. For now, little is clear in this rather complex case, but in time regulators will make their determinations and lawmakers, and even users, will act accordingly.
The Facts of the Case
The story begins with Aleksander Kogan, a research associate in the psychology department of the University of Cambridge. After joining the institution in 2012, Kogan founded a company called Global Science Research (GSR). It was “founded to optimize marketing strategies with the power of big data and psychological sciences.” The company aims to empower clients “to understand their consumers, markets, and competitors more deeply and accurately than ever before.”
In the summer of 2014, the UK branch of the US-based political consulting company Cambridge Analytica (CA) sought the services of GSR for some political campaigning work. It asked that GSR conduct some research on Facebook users. As such, GSR requested permission from Facebook to provide an app on its platform to users for ‘research purposes’. Once permission was given, around 270,000 Facebook users, enticed by a small payment by GSR, downloaded the app, called ‘This is Your Digital Life’, which was essentially a personality survey.
Once downloaded, the app asked users to log in with their Facebook credentials. Users were asked permission to access their Facebook data, which could include names, email addresses or even whole Facebook profiles. The app also collected information on a user’s friends, if their friends’ privacy settings allowed for this. The terms of service of the app did convey that it would collect data from the user them-self and also their friends. Since 2014, Facebook asks users specifically whether they are willing to share their list of friends on the social network. Accordingly, if a friend’s privacy settings allowed the sharing of data with third party developers, like GSR, then those developers could collect their data. So privacy settings permitting, GSR was able to obtain data from users of its app as well as those users’ friends. This was consistent with Facebook’s policies at the time.
As a result, GSR was able to collect data from what was first thought to be around 50 million Facebook users. At the time of publication, the figure was reported to be 87 million. The data were then passed on to CA. With this Facebook data, CA, according to revelations from former employee Chris Wylie, used it in combination with other data sources (such a voter records or consumer profiles assembled by data brokers) to create profiles on those millions of users. These psychographic profiles classified people by personality type and were used to create targeted political messages that would be most influential on those users.
CA would have also been able to use Facebook’s advertising tools to show tailored ads that nobody else can see, so-called ‘dark posts’. Thus, according to Wylie, CA was able to use Facebook data along with other data to predict political preferences of users and try to influence voting intentions with messages personalised to their tendencies and preferences.
While the Trump campaign did hire CA in the run-up to Donald Trump’s election victory, it is unclear, for now, whether the psychographic profiles were used for the campaign. It is equally unclear how many of the 50 million users were registered as US voters. Overall, whether the profiles created and the subsequent targeted advertising conducted by CA was effective and actually swayed votes one way or another remains unknown.
In 2015, Facebook learned about the transfer of data from GSR to CA and said that this was a breach of its terms of service. The social media company claimed that GSR wrongly passed on data from its users to third parties, prohibited under its rules. At the time of this violation, Facebook removed GSR’s app from its platform and requested that GSR destroy the data it collected. Kogan contends that this request was fulfilled. Facebook banned the company in March of this year.
Facebook also, according to Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer, demanded that CA delete the data it had obtained from GSR. However, Sandberg admitted that Facebook did not follow up to ensure that this request was followed, and so the social media company, at the time, did not know whether the data from GSR had been deleted or not.
CA has repeatedly said that it did not use, or does not hold, any Facebook data. When summoned to Parliament to give evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee in February, Alexander Nix, the chief executive, was asked whether CA had used any data provided by GSR.¹ Nix said GSR did some research for CA in 2014 but insisted that the research “proved to be fruitless.” Nix went on to firmly deny that any of CA’s datasets were based on data provided by GSR.
Calling in the Information Commissioner
Following the outbreak of the story earlier in March, the UK’s information watchdog, the Information Commissioners’ Office (ICO), began an investigation into the potential illegalities of CA’s conduct with regard to the Facebook data it had obtained. On the 7th of March, the ICO “issued a Demand for Access to records and data in the hands of Cambridge Analytica” but following no reply from CA the Office then sought “a warrant to obtain information and access to systems and evidence related to our investigation.”
The ICO is the first line of enforcement in cases such as these. Under section 51 of the Data Protection Act (DPA), it is the specific duty of the Commissioner, who is currently Elizabeth Denham, to promote good data processing practices amongst companies and others processing data as well as “promote the observance of the requirements of [the DPA].”
The initial action taken by the ICO in March was what is known as an ‘Information notice’. Under section 43 of the DPA, the Commissioner may request “any information for the purpose of determining whether the data controller has complied or is complying with the data protection principles.” After this notice was ignored by CA, the Commissioner sought a search warrant to enter and examine the premises of CA to obtain any documents, materials or equipment the company may hold. These warrants are regulated under Schedule 9 of the DPA, which requires the approval of a judge. Such a warrant in this case was premised on the alleged serious breaches of data protection laws committed by CA, and was eventually granted by the High Court in late March.
On April 5th, the Office stated that its investigation involves “looking at how data was collected from a third party app on Facebook and shared with Cambridge Analytica.” It is yet to be concluded whether any unlawful activity did take place at any point. Once the ICO’s investigation has been concluded, it will then decide whether further action is necessary.
If the Office finds that CA, or others involved in the case, has contravened the provisions of the DPA, then an enforcement notice may be issued. Under section 40, the Commissioner, with such a notice, can restrict or put an end to the processing of data of the offending company in question, and can even call for the rectification or destruction of inaccurate or out-of-date data. In essence, an enforcement notice does what it says on the tin; it provides instructions to achieve compliance with the DPA.
Under the DPA
While no illegalities have yet been confirmed by the ICO, based on the information available publicly already, some consideration can be made in relation to the potential liability of CA and the other companies involved under the current framework for UK data protection laws.
The DPA is designed to regulate “the processing of information relating to individuals, including the obtaining, holding, uses or disclosures of such information.” Derived from the EU’s Data Protection Directive (DPD), the DPA has been the flagship data protection legislation in the UK for 20 years. But the various developments in technology and data processing practices over that time-span has resulted in the General Data Protection Regulation coming into force in May to replace the Directive and also the Act. But for the purposes of the ICO’s investigation, the legal liability of CA and others will be judged against the standards of the DPA.
Under the Act, section 1 defines personal data as data which “relates to a living individual who can be identified (a) from those data, or (b) from those data and other information which is in the possession of the data controller.” The provisions of the DPA only regulate this personal data and thus the rights afforded to individuals (called ‘data subjects’ for the purposes of the Act) are only applicable to this data. There is also reference made to ‘sensitive data’, which includes information relating to race or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs and other equally confidential information. The personality app created by Kogan most likely produced data of this kind, be it personal or even sensitive. As such, the processing and supply of such data to CA would be regulated under the DPA.
The Act stipulates that the processing of data includes the “obtaining, recording, or holding of” such information as well as organising, adapting, altering or disclosing (by transmission, dissemination or otherwise) such information. Thus, when Kogan’s app asked Facebook users to provide their information, it was obtaining their personal and possibly sensitive data. The supply of that data to CA is evidence of that data being disclosed by transmission. CA in turn, by using such data in combination with other information to create psychographic profiles on users was adapting such data for the purposes of the Act. This would also likely fall under the ECJ’s interpretation of ‘processing’ in Bodil Lindqvist (2004)², which gave the term a wide remit.
The obtaining and subsequent altering of Facebook user data is not necessarily unlawful. The Act provides a number of ways in which the processing of data can be conducted lawfully under Schedule 2. Two in particular are relevant for this case. The first lawful way is where the data subject consents to the processing of their data. The second is where the processing is necessary either for the performance of a contract with the data subject or are part of steps requested by the data subject preliminary to an eventual contract.
In this particular case, there would not appear to be a problem with the data obtained from Facebook users in Kogan’s app. Users of the app were asked permission to access their Facebook information. Equally, accessing the information of users’ friends would appear to be lawful. If their privacy settings were set to consent to such activity to take place, then the collection of the data would be permitted under the DPA. This would appear to be the case even if the a users’ friends consented to access to their information by a third party in the form of an opt-out tick box being left unticked.
More controversial however is the transmission of the Facebook data from GSR to CA. This transfer of the data did not appear to be consented to by users of Kogan’s app nor their friends. It is this lack of transparency and protection that will perhaps most troublesome for GSR, Facebook and CA. That it was not made clear to Facebook users that their information would be used for the political campaigning purposes eventually pursued by CA exposes a potential flaw in the legalities of the data processing.
Transparency is one of the major concepts of the data protection framework of the EU. Recital 38 of the DPD emphasises this, stating that “the data subject must be…given accurate and full information” regarding the processing of their data (as is stipulated under Schedule 1 of the Act). This includes the purposes for which data is being processed. In particular for CA, Article 11 of the DPD requires those who obtain data not directly from the data subjects to provide this information to the initial data subjects. This meshes with the requirement that consent given by a data subject for processing should be informed as part of fair and legitimate processing. In order to be informed, those data subjects ought to be told unequivocally what they are consenting to. It would appear in this case that this was not evident.
Under the GDPR
The EU’s new data protection laws on the horizon, the GDPR, will be given legal effect in the UK by the Data Protection Bill currently making its way through Parliament. While the Regulation will mirror much of the content of the soon-to-be-former Directive, it is more specific and strict in many areas.
One of those, and crucial to this case, is that relating to consent. Article 4 of the Regulation defines this as “any freely given, specific, informed unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes…by a statement or by a clear affirmative action” signifying permission to process personal data relating to the individual in question. This can be combined with Article 5, which stipulates that data must be “processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner” as well as “collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a way incompatible with those purposes.”
Some elaboration on the meaning of the kind of consent required is provided by the Article 29 Data Protection Working Party. In its Guidelines on Consent³, the group suggested emphasised the need to obtain specific consent from data subjects. Essentially, the data subject must provide consent to each use of their data and in doing so should be provided with “a specific, explicit and legitimate purpose for the intended processing activity.” Thus, if CA were to, hypothetically, be required to adhere to the provisions under the GDPR, it would have needed to inform Facebook users what its data was being used for and obtain their consent to use that data for those purposes indicated and nothing more. CA would have also been required to inform the users of their rights under the Regulation, including the right to withdraw consent.
Such provisions are designed to enable greater transparency around the processing of personal data, so that data subjects know exactly what data of theirs is being collated and processed and for what purposes. It will thus hopefully tackle the “invisible processing and profiling” which may be conducted by some companies, as suggested by Denham at the Data Protection Practitioners’ Conference 2018.
A Watershed Moment?
One potential impact the GDPR is likely to have on the state of data processing in Europe is to provide greater bargaining power to data subjects. Currently, an evident lack of control and information is available to data subjects to determine where their data is going and what it is being used for. The Regulation will require companies like Facebook, CA and other such companies be less equivocal about its operations. Additionally, the Regulation may have the effect of encouraging such companies to make better offers to their users and be able to showcase that their data will be used for something worthwhile. As such, the true value of personal data may be able to shine through.
Ultimately, the GDPR should hopefully establish a fairer and less shadowy environment for data processing, one in which data subjects and companies like Facebook can still profit from. But the GDPR aside, it must first be determined what illegal activity may have taken place under the DPA, if any, of which the ICO will be looking at closely. When such investigations have come to an end, there is little doubt that this case will be a catalyst for the future of data protection, where greater trust and transparency is incorporated into the way people interact with digital services that request their personal data.

BERKELEY, Calif. (KTVU) - Berkeley, Calif. (KTVU) - The cost of college with tuition, books, and rent in the Bay Area can add up quickly and leave some students with little money left over for food.
"I think normally I spend about $35 weekly," said Alyssa Saldana, a U.C. Berkeley student who also holds down a job and plans to graduate this fall with the goal of entering law school.
For her, Cal's on-campus food pantry in the student union has been a lifeline. It allows students to get free, healthy food twice a month when students need a little help.
"Especially at the start of the year, I think it's really important, because you're inundated with course readers, stuff for your apartment too that you might need or your housing," said Saldana.
The food pantry is part of U.C. Berkeley's effort to help students who might otherwise skip meals or go hungry because they don't have the funds to buy food.
The pantry is open weekdays until 4pm. The campus Basic Needs Committee also is holding clinics to help students apply for CalFresh, the state's food stamp program.
"This is the first week of classes. We want to set the tone from the very beginning to college student that in order to be a successful college student, you have to take care of your basic needs," said Ruben Canedo, the U.C. Berkeley Basic Needs Committee Chair.
Canedo says a Cal study found more than 10,000 students might be eligible for CalFresh.
"The study we published in December 2017...identified that 39 percent of undergraduates and 23 percent of graduate students are experiencing food insecurity," said Canedo.
He says it isn't just students from low-income families.
"Working class students are struggling. Middle class students are struggling, some of them as individuals in college because of the high cost of living in the Bay Area," said Canedo.
The Alameda County Food Bank and Alameda County Social Services partnered with Cal to hold the CalFresh clinic in the Unit #1 dormitory on Durant Street.
"I think it's really helpful, because a lot of people can be food insecure," said Pedro Valdez, an incoming U.C. Berkeley student from Dinuba who came to apply.
It was like two seconds. You just write your name down and check off some boxes," said Paige Lary, another incoming U.C. Berkeley student from Bishop, California.
Vikrem Padda is a full-time Cal senior, who works two jobs and is the campus coordinator for CalFresh. He helped organize the clinics and says he and his friends have had to struggle at times.
"They'll be like, oh, I'll just drink coffee throughout the day and then that will keep my appetite down and then I'll have something small for dinner," Padda said.
The average Cal student receives an extra $192 per month, according to Padda, which can be the difference between eating three meals a day or going hungry.
"Not having to stress about food is something that really just takes a big burden off my mind, like, am I going to have to pick up extra shifts just to get enough money to buy food for the next week? Or am I going to have to cut down my food intake just to make rent this month?" said Padda.
Canedo says the CalFresh education efforts are helping a growing number of students who need help.
"Two years ago we submitted 216 applications. Last year, we submitted 1,366," said Canedo, who adds that they hope to help as many as 3,000 students apply for the CalFresh program this year.
Another clinic is scheduled for Tuesday from 10a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Unit #1 dorm on Durant Street.
Students anywhere in the state can apply for CalFresh through their county social service agency.

More than 60 per cent of intersections in Sutherland Shire will have No Stopping signs installed or continuous yellow lines painted on the roadway, with a $272 fine for offences.
Sutherland Shire Council has earmarked 2000 intersections for treatment, with priority being given to intersections within walking distance of schools, train stations, hospitals, shops and recreation areas.
Many intersections have already been marked with continuous yellow lines following trials at Bundeena and Cronulla South in 2018 and 2019.
Information about the rollout of the program was provided in response to questions from the Leader.
A spokesman said the council had been "proactively working to increase awareness of restrictions that apply under NSW road rules with regards to parking near intersections".
"To better indicate where these parking restrictions apply, council has been installing 'no stopping' signs where there are adjacent signposted parking controls, and introducing continuous yellow edge lines where signposted parking controls are not already in place.
"With approximately 3200 intersections across Sutherland Shire, council has earmarked over 2000 for this treatment, with intersections within walking distance of schools, train stations, hospitals, shops, and recreation areas identified as areas of priority.
"Intersections near primary schools have been given highest priority to address concerns regarding the safety of younger, more vulnerable road users."
The spokesman said the "works are being rolled out on an area-wide basis, delivering significant cost savings compared to undertaking works on a site-by-site basis".
"All other locations are being considered on a case-by-case basis, with areas where motorists are regularly observed parking contrary to the road rules also given priority," the statement said.
"Council first adopted the use of continuous yellow edge lines under a trial commenced in late 2018 in Bundeena in response to persistent community feedback that motorists were parking in contravention of the road rules during periods of peak demand, particularly with the increase of visitor numbers over summer."
The spokesman said the council "generally receives positive feedback regarding the roll-out of continuous yellow edge lines and improved signage, and expects that compliance with existing parking restrictions will increase as these measures become more common across Sutherland Shire and the greater Sydney region".
"Given that continuous yellow edge lines have been incorporated into NSW legislation since at least 1999, it is expected that all drivers understand the meaning of this parking control," he said.
"Sutherland Shire Council has however previously sought to reinforce the meaning of this road marking and the penalties that apply for those who fail to observe it, providing this information to motorists via council's website and social media channels."

After dominating the music scene, Blackpink take the fashion world by storm
Just a few months after the girl group grabbed the world's attention with the hanbok, or traditional Korean dress, styling seen in its music video "How You Like That" released in June, the four members dazzled fans once again with their retro looks in the highly anticipated music video for “Ice Cream,” their latest release which saw them collaborate with American pop singer Selena Gomez.
It marked the group's collaboration with a global pop star after featuring in Lady Gaga’s track “Sour Candy” in May. As soon as the music video for "Ice Cream" was released on Aug. 28, fans around the world showed their interest in not only the new track but also the fashion.
Throughout the music video, Gomez and Blackpink serve up retro vibes in various stylings. Although they couldn't shoot the music video together because of the Covid-19 pandemic, they coordinated not only their outfits, but also their energy to make it appear as though they were filming together on the same set.
Blackpink's outfits are a good combination of the hippie fashion of the '70s and the high school teen fashion of the ‘90s. The members' colorful fashion items include a fluffy crop top, floral crochet dress, cherry-shaped earrings and a newsboy cap. There are so many colors and varieties that CNN reported their style in the music video as "bold outfits and highly curated embellishments."
"Throughout the music video we tried to have each look suit that entire set, and we especially focused on wearing bright colors that suit the overall vibe of the music and concept," Blackpink said in an interview with CNN. "We really wanted to portray that fun, bright, summer energy through our outfits, and we hope this message was delivered to our fans."
One thing to note is that these clothes are not from high-end fashion brands like Chanel or Dior, of which the members are ambassadors of. Jennie is Chanel’s house ambassador, Rose is Saint Laurent’s global ambassador, Jisoo is Dior’s beauty ambassador and Lisa is the global ambassador for Celine. Hippie-style, bright and colorful outfits including the flower-patterned and rainbow-colored crochet clothing are from Fluffy, a British fashion brand with a price range that is under 150,000 won ($130) per piece.

I want to say up front that I haven’t tried this recipe myself yet. But I have gotten so many requests for it along the lines of “Have you heard about making ice cream in a bag?” or “My kids made ice cream in a Ziploc bag at school.” that I decided to go ahead and post this. As you will see its a very simple process and I have it on good authority that kids love the simple magic of it. Each Ziploc bag makes a cup of ice cream (2 servings). I can see this as a fun kid’s party activity. Though come to think of it 15 kids and liquids hmm… PLEASE NOTE STEP 5: This mixture gets very, very cold while freezing.
Since I have published this I have gotten feedback from friends that this technique works quite well. See the videos at the end of the post. If you don’t have an ice cream maker I urge you to try this method. You should be able to make up to pint of any recipe on this site with no difficulty especially if you use rock salt rather than table salt.
- 1 quart size, freezer ready, Ziploc bag
- 1 gallon size, freezer ready, Ziploc bag
- 3/4 cups of table salt. Rock or Kosher works even better.
- 2 cups of ice
- 1/2 cup cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla
- Add all the ingredients to the quart Ziploc bag. Try to remove some of the air and seal it securely. Mix the ingredients together by gently shaking and rocking the bag. “Gentle” may want to be emphasized here.
- Add the ice into the gallon ziplocTM bag.
- Add the salt (sodium chloride) to the bag of ice.
- Place the sealed ice cream bag inside the gallon bag of ice and salt. Seal the gallon bag securely.
- Gently rock the gallon bag from side to side. It’s best to hold it by the top seal or to have gloves or a cloth between the bag and your hands because the bag will be cold enough to damage your skin.
- Keep rocking for between 10-15 minutes at which point the mixture should have solidified into ice cream.
- Serve. This is a no lose activity because at worst you will end up with a vanilla “milk shake” and happy kids irregardless of how solid the ice cream actually ends up getting.
Why it works.
Ice needs energy to melt, to phase change from a solid to a liquid. It draws that energy out of the ice cream mix (and little hands if they aren’t holding the bag by the zipper seam!) causing it to get cold. Adding salt to the ice lowers it’s temperature of freezing so that even more energy than usual is needed to get it to melt. This cause the ice to get colder and draw out more energy, faster from the ice cream mixture causing it to freeze.
This recipe is based on one by Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D., in the Science Projects section of About.com. You can read the full post here.
My friends Kristi and Alex decided to try this out with their son Max and as you can see from the short iPhone videos below the process works as advertised. They doubled the recipe and added some thawed out frozen strawberries. I don’t see why you couldn’t make any recipe on this website using this method.
Max tumbling the ice cream while it freezes.
The moment of truth.
Enjoying the fruits of their labor.

Uber drivers and their advocates protest in San Francisco on Wednesday.
Wednesday marked the first day Uber investors and employees could cash out their shares and turn their stock into real money. While many early investors said they'd hold onto their shares, others flooded the market causing Uber's stock to hit record lows.
By the end of the day, the company's shares were trading at .96 -- roughly 40% lower than its initial public offering of .
Likely adding to Uber's woes on Wednesday were coordinated driver protests throughout California. The drivers' goal was to draw attention to how the end of Uber's lockup period will likely add to the disparity of wealth between themselves and the company's investors and employees.
"Uber has spent a decade creating algorithms to squeeze every red cent out of drivers," Erica Mighetto, a Sacramento-based Uber driver, said at a protest held at one of Google's San Francisco offices. Google Ventures, the company's venture capital branch, owned more than billion in Uber shares as of May. "There is no reason why Google Ventures makes millions of dollars when drivers, like myself, become homeless."
Once considered a too-big-to-fail Silicon Valley success story, Uber has experienced a pummeling as a public company. Since its debut on Wall Street in May, its share price has slumped, three board members stepped down and it saw an exodus of executives. Uber also laid off about 5% of its staff in three rounds of cuts. Optimism in the company appears to be running low.
As the lockup period ended on Wednesday, the company saw its share price bottom out at an all-time low of .58. According to Bloomberg, Uber was one of the most actively traded US stocks for the day. At one point, a block of 7.75 million shares were sold and later Goldman Sachs sold another block of 2 million shares. Uber had roughly 1.7 billion shares when it went public, according to filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Uber didn't respond to request for comment.
Along with taking hits on Wall Street, Uber is waging a battle in its home state of California. After Gov. Gavin Newsom signed legislation in September that could require Uber and Lyft to reclassify their drivers as employees instead of independent contractors, Uber vowed to fight the law. Along with Lyft and other on-demand companies, Uber put million behind an initiative to take the issue to voters next November. Many drivers say this move was a slap in the face as they struggle to earn a living wage.
Drivers and their advocates targeted three locations to protest on Wednesday. Along with the Google office, they picketed in front of the homes of Uber co-founder Garrett Camp in Beverley Hills and venture capitalist Bill Gurley in Atherton, California. Camp's investment in Uber was reportedly worth .2 billion when the company went public and Gurley's was valued at around 0 million.
At the San Francisco protest, about 50 people showed up carrying signs that read "Deactivate Uber Billionaires" and "Drivers make pennies, investors make millions." Speakers -- including drivers, labor organizers and politicians -- took to the microphone to talk about low earnings and lack of worker protections.
"We stand in solidarity with drivers and workers," said San Francisco Supervisor Gordon Mar. "When we stand together, when we fight together, we will win."B:

When we think of heirlooms, we think of dusty relics in our grandparents’ houses. But heirlooms can also be living and vital, in the form of plants. Heirloom plants are cultivars that have been grown for some time (there isn’t an agreed-upon range of time, though 50+ years old is a rule of thumb) and are passed down each year by saving seeds. Growers select seeds from the best, healthiest plants, so over time, heirlooms adapt to their environment. They are usually preserved for a distinctive characteristic and are often prized for their flavor, texture, or color.
Some heirloom vegetables can be found in farmers’ markets; heirloom tomatoes are especially common. Oftentimes heirlooms look quite different from the conventional crops you find in the supermarket. Their variable colors, shapes, and sizes contrast with the uniform, “perfect” appearance of conventional crops. Although heirlooms may be superior in quality compared to conventional crops, it’s not exactly accurate to say they’re more sustainable.
That’s because there’s nuance in their sustainability story. Today most of our food crops are produced by large-scale commercial farms. These farms grow “hybrid” crops that are optimized for commercial production, where durability, consistency, and disease and pest resistance are especially prized. These optimizations mean a lot of produce can be grown using fewer resources than would be required to raise the same amount of heirlooms. The University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension notes that some heirlooms can require additional equipment and extra pest and disease management, and often have shorter shelf lives and are more fragile.
However, comparing hybrid crops with heirloom crops isn’t fair since heirlooms are hardly ever produced on as large a scale as hybrids. Many heirloom crops would not be able to be sustainably produced at a large scale because they would require extra resources to ensure their survival. On the other hand, “heirlooms work extremely well for small-scale farms,” says Dr. William Weaver, food historian and adjunct professor of food studies at Drexel University. The extra care required by heirlooms tends to be more manageable on smaller farms. Weaver also notes that heirlooms are financially attractive for small farmers because they can save the seeds; farmers that grow hybrids have to purchase seeds every year.
So although they might not be fit for the large-scale commercial production needed to feed the planet’s 7 billion people, heirloom crops do play an important big-picture role in sustainability. Heirlooms preserve diverse characteristics of plants, thereby preserving biodiversity in a world where commercial agriculture favors homogenization. Biodiversity is crucial to maintaining the resiliency of the earth’s ecosystems — one might say it strengthens the planet’s immune system. You would be doing your taste buds and the planet a favor by choosing local, organic heirloom vegetables!

Meet the Beautiful Women of Israel Who Fight Palestines Hamas
Israel is about the size of New Jersey and is the only country left in the middle east that hasn’t fallen to sharia laws. The tiny country borders the Islamic countries of Lebanon in the north, the Golan Heights and Syria in the northeast, the West Bank and Jordan in the east, the Gaza Strip and Egypt in the southwest.
In Israel, women are considered equal to men. If any of their border countries were to gain control, they would fall to sharia laws.
In Islam, women are half the value of men and treated as minors. The testimony of two women, equals that of one man. In many Islamic countries, women are forced to cover their hair and bodies, they can’t own property or businesses or request divorce, they need a males permission to leave the country, they need a male escort in public, forced marriages. In some, the women are under complete gender segregation and not even allowed to stand in the same line as a man.
For example, all of the countries surrounding Israel, can arrest you for adultery, being gay, blasphemy by insulting Islam in any way or for trying to convert a muslim.
Gaza is ruled by Hamas, under strict sharia laws. Israel has long been in a land dispute with the people of the Gaza Strip, in deciding what is or isn’t a part of Palestine. Palestine is mentioned in the old Testament and the Torah, which date at least 1500 years before the birth of Muhammad.
After fourteen hundred years of Islamic invasion throughout the Middle East, Israel has been forced to take harsh measures to protect its culture and rights.
Those who stand with Palestine, do not seem to understand at all what they are asking the people of Israel to give up.
Maybe seeing some of the beautiful, strong women who risk their lives to keep their freedom and country, would help them to understand.
To those that stand with Palestine, explain to the women of Israel why they should don a burka and bow down to Islam. Explain to them why they should be considered half the value of a man. Explain to them why their entire lives should be controlled by Islam. Explain to them why they should throw open their borders to Islamic countries and give up their way of life. To prove to you they aren’t racist or bigots?
The women of Israel are putting their lives on the line, to show you they will not bow to sharia.

A group of 70 space experts, including Bill Nye the Science Guy, has laid out the key points in a scenario that would send astronauts on a trip to orbit Mars in 2033. That mission could blaze a trail for eventual landings on the Red Planet, according to the Planetary Society, which organized this week's "Humans Orbiting Mars" workshop in Washington.
“We believe we now have an example of a long-term, cost-constrained, executable humans to Mars program,” workshop chair Scott Hubbard, a former Mars program executive at NASA who is now a professor at Stanford University, said in a news release. The "orbit-first" scenario is consistent with NASA's long-term plan, which calls for crewed missions to Mars and its moons starting in the 2030s.
Nye, the nonprofit Planetary Society's CEO, said the mission is doable "without breaking the bank." The society said an independent cost estimate showed that the Mars program "would fit within a budget that grows with inflation after NASA ends its lead role in the International Space Station." The Aerospace Corp. and experts from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory did the cost analysis, Hubbard said.
"I was very pleased to see how thorough ... the cost analysis was," Nye told reporters.
If NASA's commitment to the space station ended in 2024, that would free up funds for the 2033 orbital mission, leading to a landing in 2039 for a short stay on the Red Planet, Hubbard said. Along the way, orbital crews could guide remote-operated robots on the Martian surface or on the Martian moons Phobos and Deimos.
Hubbard said missions to the moon, including a landing, could be among the preparatory steps for Mars missions — but the plan does not call for extended stays on the lunar surface. For now, the plan also incorporates NASA's mission to bring a piece of an asteroid back to high lunar orbit for study in the mid-2020s, but that could change, veteran space policy analyst John Logsdon said.
The plan assumes a two-launch-per-year flight rate for NASA's Space Launch System, the heavy-lift rocket that is currently due to have its first test launch in 2018. "It's important to keep the Space Launch System rocket on track, and to allow competition from SpaceX and Orbital and Boeing and the other corporations making big rockets," Nye said.
Hubbard said it wasn't too early for NASA to flesh out its plans for 2033. "I think that you would need to begin to study and adopt a strategic framework within ... now," he said. The Planetary Society said the detailed mission architecture, which was developed and discussed during sessions that were closed to the public and the press, would be released later this year.
Other Mars mission architectures are in the works as well: By the end of this year, Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of the SpaceX launch venture, plans to release his own vision for getting humans to Mars. The privately backed Inspiration Mars effort has laid out a scenario for a two-person Mars flyby, and the Dutch-based Mars One venture has been working on a plan to send crews on one-way missions to Mars.

In March first week the latest update, few employers who work in Korea and china they came back to Nepal after coronavirus expended worldwide, with similar symptoms of coronavirus they admitted at Teku Hospital (Shukraraaj Tropical & Infectious Disease Hospital), but no one has positive symptoms of coronavirus yet.
You can travel to Nepal for trekking and climbing , we would say it’s safe to go mountain and with no doubt, definitely you will have a great time. So many trekkers are already arriving here for trekking, climbing and tours. In Nepal we have only one international Trivuwan airport now Nepal governments are already strong monitoring in checking in the airport, borders for travelers who come to visit Nepal .if someone found any symptoms of coronavirus then they should stay in quarantine or return to home. From the 3rd of March 2020 Nepal Gov won’t provide an arrival visa for four countries like China, Italy, Korea and country nationality you have to apply for Nepalese visa in nearest respected embassy of Nepal, these systems go for at list a month.
W.H .O Corona viruses (CoV) 019 are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). A novel corona virus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been previously identified in humans.
Corona viruses are zoometric, meaning they are transmitted between animals and people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several known corona viruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected humans.
Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, and cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death.
Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
Do not forget to wash your hand with a shop at list 20 seconds, don’t shake your hand with others, and don’t participate in a big party, wading ceremony etc… Keep continue to wear a mask, drink warmer hot water with lemon, avoiding anyone coughing, sneezing and shortness of breathing, stay away from the crowd, keep warm your buddy & if you feel any above similar symptoms of coronavirus then immediately go to the hospital. Be safe yourself fist and keep other also safe from this pandemic disease.
Yes you can travel to Nepal, here are no problems of coronavirus to date, necessary safety and security strongly standby from Nepal governments to battle with coronavirus in airport and border, this is the main trekking and climbing good season so anyway will be going in the mountains, you are not staying in a crowded city many days, while you are in mountains there is always clean fresh air, not crowed ,physically and mentally you will feel strong after enjoying with mountains view and walking through the beautiful trekking path. You may not stop many days in a crowded city. We hope this disaster stop soon and comeback the normal situation.
To prevent the outbreak Coronavirus entering in Nepal few borders are close from letting January 2020, one of the major border between two nation china and Nepal Rasuwagadi border, Kerela border, Hilsa the border also close from let last January 2020 , after many Chinese people infection from Coronavirus until next notice came. Nepal governments also stop to give on arrival visa for 4 countries are China, Japan, Korea and Iraq where coronavirus more hit write now, thus who want to visit Nepal from 4 above country they should manage the Nepal visa from nearest respected embassy of Nepal.
The Nepal governments have also suspended all the flights from China, Korea, and Japan. The gov setup the health desktop at Tribhuvan international airport and major borders with China and India for cheek up the virus symptoms before inter into the nation. The governments also ask to major related hospital in Kathmandu to stay standby and careful about the virus , if any cases suspected while in cheek up immediately inform the health ministry of Nepal. Nepal governments strongly monitoring this situation to prevent and stop coronavirus from spreading in Nepal.

Borowczyk Kickstarter Campaign Update!
We just wanted to say thanks again for the huge show of support you've given towards our Walerian Borowczyk project. It's been a tremendous honour for us to work on these films, and to play a part in making them available for audiences to see again, after being unavailable for so many years. Thanks to you, we're now scheduling the new restoration work of Borowczyk masterpiece Goto, l'île d'amour to begin very soon!
We also wanted to say that although we reached our initial goal of 20K, exceeding that figure has had the extraordinary benefit of allowing us to consider the restoration of the short films Borowczyk made for Argos Films. This wasn't part of our initial plan, but your overwhelming show of support has now made doing this a real possibility.
For those unfamiliar with this part of Borowczyk's oeuvre, these films are short, provocative pieces that provide vital insights into the filmmaker's world as well as important context to his features already produced and those still to come. And as with everything Borowczyk produced, these short films are masterworks in their own right that demand to be seen.
A bit of history is necessary here. Throughout his career, Borowczyk had a special relationship with Polish born French producer Anatole Dauman and his company, Argos Films. It was Dauman who co-produced Borowczyk's first non-Polish film, Les Astronautes.
What is more, it was thanks to Dauman that Borowczyk was introduced to a range of artists associated with the Parisian 'Left Bank': filmmakers like Chris Marker and Mario Ruspoli, painters like Max Ernst and the Serbian surrealist Ljuba Popović , the writer André Pieyre de Mandiargues and his artist wife, Bona.
Chris Marker played a minor, yet crucial role in Les Astronautes, while de Mandiargues provided the commentary for Borowczyk's spectacular 'documentary' on antique pornography, Une Collection Particulière.
Dauman also produced two of Borowczyk's award winning short documentaries on artists: Escargot de Venus (concerning Bona de Mandiargues' erotic snail drawings) and L'Amour monstre de tous les temps (which follows Ljuba putting the final touches to one of his giant, baroque and sexually bizarre canvases).
Argos also produced Borowczyk's final animation, Scherzo Infernal - that puts paid to the idea that animation and erotic are two mutually exclusive components of the director's career.
What we've now decided to do is assign any funds we raise over the initial goal of 20K towards the restoration of these seminal short films. We've set an unofficial goal for ourselves of 30K to make this possible, so we're hoping in the limited time we have left (Our Kickstarter campaign ends on January 11th) that this can be achieved. The terms are still the same, as are the benefits in contributing. The good news is that what you'll receive from contributing (whether you've already pledged or still plan to) will be an even richer and more comprehensive Borowczyk collection.
Help us reach £30,000 in pledges to restore the following short films:
Une Collection Particulière
Escargot de Venus
L'amour monstre de tous les temps
(and subject to availability of appropriate material’s Borowczyk’s short film of La Bête)
More details about the Kickstarter campaign can be found here!
