The Pew Charitable Trusts’ elections initiatives project has worked with public and private sector partners for the past 10 years to create tools that make voting easier, more efficient, and less costly. The Voting Information Project (VIP), a partnership among Pew, the states and Google, has provided voters with official information about where to vote, and what’s on their ballots.
Since its inception in 2008, VIP has become an essential part of the Election Day experience for millions by making polling place locations, ballot information, and other official election information easily searchable online on a range of platforms. This month, Pew turned over management of these efforts to Democracy Works, a nonprofit that shares the project’s goals and mission.
VIP was launched after representatives of Pew and Google recognized that they could create the technological infrastructure to support a standardized, reliable, nationwide source of aggregated data about where and when to vote, and what was on the ballot—something that did not yet exist.
Google dedicated significant engineering resources to build and maintain VIP, and helped surface VIP data in its search engine. Other companies with strong online presences—including Facebook, LinkedIn, Etsy, Instagram, Mozilla, AOL, Twitter, AT&T, and Foursquare—helped make voting information easy to find by highlighting polling place lookup tools in online locations that Americans visit every day, and by pushing timely notifications to users. Working with VIP, these companies provided crucial voting information and promoted civic engagement.
Right from the start, VIP reached large numbers of people:
- Leading up to the 2010 national midterm elections, voters accessed the project’s data 10 million times.
- In the 2012 presidential election year, the number climbed to more than 25 million.
- For the 2014 midterm elections, VIP information was accessed 32 million times.
- And in 2016, the tools were used more than 123 million times during the entire election cycle.
VIP has expanded its reach over time to cover municipal, county, and special elections. In 2017 alone, the project provided data for more than 70 elections nationwide.
State election officials and administrators can use VIP’s free tools in a variety of ways. They have worked to provide access where most useful to voters, making sure the information is available through search engines and social media, for example, and easily accessible, even via SMS (text) on mobile phones.
Options such as the embeddable Voting Information Tool, the GetToThePolls.com website, and the texting tool (text VOTE to GOVOTE) have assisted election officials and voters by harnessing VIP’s official voting information and making sure it is widely accessible. Consequently, Pew and its partners want to ensure that VIP continues and thrives in this important role.
Pew worked to establish a permanent home for the project and ensure the long-term availability of the data VIP publishes. In March 2017, the project announced the start of that process.
After an extensive search, Pew selected Democracy Works. Since its founding in 2011, Democracy Works has become well-known and well-respected as an innovator of approaches to improving the voting experience using technology. The organization has been a trusted partner to both state and local election officials, as well as technology companies and civically engaged corporations.
In 2012, Democracy Works launched TurboVote, a service that allows users to receive regular updates about upcoming elections: when they are, where they’re taking place, and what’s on the ballot. TurboVote’s role in the elections ecosystem rapidly expanded, and in 2016, Democracy Works promoted the TurboVote Challenge, enlisting support from major corporations such as Starbucks, NBC, and Target to broaden the service’s reach.
As part of its civic engagement work, the organization has developed significant substantive and technical expertise in collecting, curating, and sharing election data. In that capacity, Democracy Works became Pew’s lead technical partner on VIP in December 2013. Since then, the group has worked closely with Pew and Google to ensure that participating states can share official information for every election through VIP. That has meant making the data available across the project’s various tools and Google’s Civic Information API, or application programming interface.
Starting in mid-June, Democracy Works will operate VIP, adhering to the principles established recently by a group of stakeholders involved with elections, technology, and academia. The group will work with election officials across the United States to aggregate official information and help ensure the success of voter-facing tools established by VIP and its partners. Democracy Works will maintain and nurture the strong relationships with state and local election officials that have been instrumental to VIP’s success.
Pew has long held the view that voting is a cornerstone of American democracy, and has invested in making the electoral process more accountable and accessible. By developing the Voting Information Project—and ensuring its continued operation via Democracy Works—Pew’s elections initiatives efforts have made election information more available to voters and easy to find.
Michael D. Thompson is vice president of state and local government performance and Monica Leibovitz is an officer for election initiatives at The Pew Charitable Trusts.

I think many of the complaints about this movie are by those that overlook one of the most obvious statements of the movie... that day to day life is boring & tedious, (walking hallways, taking lonely boring train rides, feeding your dog, watching an annoying person eat) all the while the visual world (read spiritual, artistic, visionary, higher level, etc.) is breath-taking. None of the characters of this world are privy to the visual poetry we are being exposed to as viewers... and that is part of the point, they are blind to it... yet it's a reminder that technological obsessiveness, or material obsessiveness, blinds everyone from simple visual beauty. The lighting alone in the movie was incredibly inventive, variations of sepia tones that went from red to green to blue during the course of the movie... overall the lighting and photography in the movie was amazing. You could take any given frame of this film and have a very beautiful photograph. There is a lot of CGI work in this movie that many nay-sayers called "low budget" and didn't even notice. Watch at the very end of the movie how the ghost's mouth wavers, almost like the Mona Lisa, from sad half-frown into a smirk, and this was done in post. I'm sure many people missed very subtle and beautiful touches like this on first viewing. If someone were to critique it for lack of complexity, I would agree... Blade Runner was not "deep" in the same way... but both, upon multiple viewings, remain almost timelessly poignant while being very reflective of when they were made, and I'm sure in 10 years this movie will seem as striking, as Blade Runner is to me now over 20 years since it's release. This will be one to watch over and over again every 6 months.
One caveat... the Miramax version is rubbish. The translations are horrible and stupid. Literally you lose half the meaning of the film. At one point Ashe is talking to the Gamemaster discussing Avalon (the mythic island) and discussing Odin and the helmet of forgetting... right as she puts the VR helmet on. In the Miramax version... the Gamemaster just says "be careful it's dangerous in there"... etc. Not even close, it's like they didn't bother even attempting a real translation, pathetic.

Anupama Sukh Lalvani and Sonal Sood are not only great friends, they’re also co-founders of en Inde, a new order of contemporary jewellery that focuses on the handmade, craft-focused sensibility and zen-like mindfulness whilst firmly remaining on the precipice of cool.
“The first spiritual want of a barbarous man is decoration,” said British archaeologist Archibald Campbell Carlyle. Jewellery, now, is not just a curio from bygone days, or sparkly, excessive trinkets of pleasure. Like art, it is metaphorical, full of symbolism and contemplation, signifying our need not only to capture the essence of beauty but also to throw light on the convictions of our times.
So imagine the gargantuan task of selling handcrafted jewellery in jute and steel to a country obsessed with gold and diamonds. After all, to buy into the en Inde leitmotif—patwa, an ancient technique of winding thread in tribal jewellery in India—one has to be sophisticated in mind and mindfulness, calling on somewhat of a paradigm shift in the way we choose to adorn ourselves. Anupama Sukh Lalvani, creative director and founder, helps us dig deeper.
What, according to you, is the meaning behind this line?
There is no secret meaning! It’s my idea of India characterised by wisdom, justice, injustice, fear, courage, compassion, violence, transcendence, corruption, humanity, inhumanity, spirit and spirituality. We have all these in different configurations. That’s why all our designs are unique. They are different yet exact in what they represent.
There is great aesthetic value but, more importantly, en Inde seems to be a cultural signifier, a totem pole of our times. What does your jewellery signify?
A sign of the times—the zeitgeist and a hidden quest for individuality. In a world of fast fashion, en Inde strives for balance and focus on the value of handmade luxury. Also imagery—of our culture, past and present—must speak of power and strength. Adornment is essential to project that image.
Your jewellery is more in the realm of artefacts that mimic the natural world and not there simply to adorn a body; it could very well adorn a space, a home. Was this intentional?
The natural world is my ultimate inspiration. A yearning to connect with that energy is what drives me to create pieces that evoke a sense of that eternal sensuality, akin to emotions you experience when you enter a magnificent church or are face-to-face with a natural wonder. I’m a collector. I have an obsession with all things that show a high level of craft paired with simple emotions. As an architect I feel space a lot. Light, sound, taste, scent, feel and peace all play an inherent part in my creative process. So it’s no accident that my pieces could adorn spaces too.
Why are ancient cultures like Africa and India such an important part of your narrative?
I am from India. I have travelled and lived a fair bit in Tehran, Lagos, London, New York, Switzerland and New Delhi. My travel and studies in art and architecture made one thing very clear—all indigenous tribes have a similar language of rituals, rhythms, symbols, materials and techniques that I mimic often. I also enjoy the talismanic effect of mirrored surfaces used in many nomadic cultures and that is why I use stainless steel to achieve that. I want to create a language that can be understood by all cultures, similar to music.
On the one hand en Inde exudes ancient mysticism and on the other meticulously proffers modern architectural thoughts, perhaps even practices. How do you marry the two with zero friction?
The ancient mysticism comes from my infatuation with India’s intangible spirit. It’s not religious, it’s romantic. When I was 15, I visited the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur and was mesmerised by the combination of mathematics and art. So when I studied architecture in Manchester, proportions and geometry used in the work of Tadao Ando, Louis Kahn and Le Corbusier helped me create a contemporary narrative.

Heavy snoring & sleep apnoea is no laughing matter - disrupted sleep leads to lost productivity,
failed relationships and even road traffic accidents! Therapia's Ultimate Snoring Cure is a guaranteed
aromatherapy remedy that combines the therapeutic properties of the natural essential oils of lavender
and marjoram contained in two separate jars.
Lavender is a proven sedative, it relaxes and helps induce sleep, is good for insomnia, depression and anxiety,

Marjoram is widely recognised as a cure for snoring on its own. It works on the lining in the back of the
throat to lessen the vibrations in the soft palate and also clears the sinuses to help you breathe more easily.
It is also for those who don't necessarily have difficulty getting to sleep but awaken easily and cannot get back
to sleep due to 'mental chatter'. On its own marjoram has been proven to help stop snoring, but combine it with
lavender and we absolutely guarantee* that it will stop snoring, thus ensuring a proper night's sleep - every night -
at a cost of just 30 pence per week.
Immediate, lasting results and so easy to use. Simply open the jars on the bedside table closest to the snorer two
hours before going to bed. This will allow the essential oils to gradually fill the bedroom with a pleasant aroma, help
you breathe more easily and stop snoring. Replace the lids in the morning. The jars will last for at least 12 months
when used in this way.
Therapia Absolutely Guarantee* that by using both the Lavender &

text: In our vision, the New Maria Bridge should be a simple and elegant jump over the valley, without any support. We have been inspired by two adjacent bridges on either side: the Wilhelmina- and Willems bridge. Both are beautiful arch bridges with a warm brick character. Arch and brick have been given a place in our design too. The curved bridge deck, the parapet and the brickwork play an intricate game of radiation. The abutments are curved and recessed under the bridge deck, rendering them practically invisible.


Private Flute Instruction For Intermediate And Advanced Students
Dr. Kris Palmer has been instructing fellow flutists since 1992: from advanced adult flutists and college undergraduates to middle-school musicians and young children just beginning to play the recorder. She enjoys working with students of all ages seeking to enrich their minds and their lives with music as well as those interested in pursuing music professionally. She is experienced with assisting young musicians with recital, audition, and competition preparation, and she can help a flutist discover and create solo and ensemble performance opportunities throughout the bay area. The author of “Ornamentation According to CPE Bach & JJ Quantz”, she is particularly well-versed in the study of flute music from the Classical and Baroque eras. As the mother of a disable child, she is passionate about teaching music to those with learning differences.
“Dr. Palmer’s knowledge of early 18th-century French agrements is comprehensive and refined; she exercised great taste and feeling in their use to celebrate the music as given. Palmer is clearly among the few current performers on any instrument to fully understand the nature of this music.”
– New York Concert Review, Summer 2001
“Clearly, Palmer is knowledgeable about ornamentation…and her knowledge of the subject is very thorough.”
– American Music Teacher Magazine, August/September 2002
Dr. Palmer made her New York Recital Debut at Carnegie Hall in 2001 to rave reviews as a winner in the Artists International Competition, and she has performed as a concerto soloist with orchestras in the United States and Europe. She has earned a second-place finish in the National Flute Association’s Young Artist Competition, and her solo CD, Versailles, features her own arrangements of French Baroque music. She holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts from Rice University, and she is a former member of the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra and the Chamber Orchestra of Albuquerque. She performs regularly as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestra musician in classical music, musical theatre, and popular contemporary music throughout Northern California.
“incisive and expressive…enchanting and sensuous…”
– New York Concert Review
“excellent…a confirmed concert artist of international stature.”
– Il Nuovo Pontino of Rome, Italy
Dr. Palmer is happy to provide her solo CD, Versailles, as a complementary gift upon request. References are also available upon request.

As a kid I loved Star Wars, me and my sister would watch the original 3 movies over and over again on Saturday mornings while our dad messed around with pieces of wood and power tools.
The death star was one of my favourite ships / space stations probably to this day, or maybe I just really like round ships. When first contact was released and seeing the Borg sphere burst forth from the fiery death throws of its larger cube cousin again i love the sphere design.
Oddly a round spaceship / space station is not something I had made before, so around 1 am last night I fired up blender 2.8 alpha and made a quick model of a spherical death star / Borg sphere inspired ship? Its not complete (having only had 30 minute of work done to it), but its a good start and worth a quick 8 hour test print on the Epax X1.
Update (6th Feb 2020): The final version is now available as a resin print or STL digitial download from my store. Kyhullas Vengeance (resin space ship)

Update to the events explained in this article.
Farmers wielding shepherds’ staffs have clashed with riot police in central Athens as thousands headed to the Greek capital for a two-day protest against the government’s plans to impose tax rises and pension system reforms.
About 800 farmers from the island of Crete rallied outside the ministry of agriculture, throwing tomatoes as tension escalated when police prevented them from staging a symbolic occupation of the building. Clashes soon broke out, with riot police using teargas to repel protesters, who were throwing rocks and setting bins on fire.
At one point, an outnumbered riot police unit was forced to flee up a street with Cretan farmers in pursuit.
Many of the ministry’s windows were broken, while rubble from rocks and broken paving stones lay strewn outside the building. Police said the farmers also threatened to spray riot police with a pesticide used for olive trees if officers used teargas. At least four farmers were detained.

Graeme Macleod looks ahead to the impending January transfer window
January is always a key month for clubs across Scotland as they are handed a month-long opportunity to add to their squads. You either love or loathe the January Transfer Window but one thing, it is always hectic – 2009 will be no different. So Dunedin Napier News has decided to take a look at who will be the big movers and shakers across Scottish football next month.
At this stage it looks like the biggest movers could be Celtic. The Glasgow club have controversially suspended star winger Aiden McGeady and the Republic of Ireland international could be on his way out of Parkhead next month. Bayern Munich, Espanyol and English pair Sunderland and Newcastle are rumoured suitors for the £8 million-rated wide man.
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan has secured the services of Dundee United goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska on a pre-contract. He may also look to reinvest the McGeady money should the 22-year-old be sold. Hungarian Szabolc Huszti has been linked as a replacement while CSKA Sofia defender Ivan Ivanov is also a rumour target. Meanwhile, The Hoops are on the verge of snapping up Czech left-back Milan Misun.
In Edinburgh, Hearts’ financial woes could lead to an exodus at Tynecastle. Andrew Driver and Christophe Berra have both been linked with Rangers. English outfits Fulham and Wolves have also courted Berra in the past. Another player linked with a move down south is midfielder Laryea Kingston.
The Ghanaian could be on his way to Portsmouth and team mate Marius Zaliukas has been linked with several clubs in Russia.
Hibernian have already agreed a deal to bring in Finland international Jonatan Johansson. The Easter Road club are also running the rule over former Dundee United goalkeeper Grzegorz Szamotulski. Meanwhile, boss Mixu Paatelainen will be hoping to keep a hold of star man Stephen Fletcher. The striker has been strongly linked with moves away from Easter Road in the past, including to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Aberdeen have been linked with a loan swoop for their former striker Eugene Dadi. The Ivorian is currently plying his trade in Australia but has said he would welcome a return to Pittodrie.
Inverness Caledonian Thistle
Former Aberdeen and Dunfermline defender Richie Byrne has been training with Inverness CT. Boss Craig Brewster will continue to run the rule over the Irishman before deciding whether to offer him a deal.
Falkirk fear influential midfielder Russell Latapy could leave as soon as next week to take up a coaching post with his native Trinidad and Tobago.
Motherwell may look at taking in Celtic defender John Kennedy. The injury-plagued centre-back almost joined The Steelmen on loan in the summer. Boss Mark McGhee could renew his interest in January.
Dundee United may look to replace departing goalkeeper Zaluska. Craig Levein will also be hoping to keep a hold of loan players Warren Feeney and Roy O’Donovan.
In Paisley, St Mirren boss Gus McPherson will be looking to bolster his squad in time for the club’s move to their new stadium.
Hamilton and Kilmarnock
Hamilton boss Billy Reid has stated his intention to add experienced players to his squad as they look to survive relegation. Meanwhile, Kilmarnock boss Jim Jefferies is a renowned wheeler-dealer.

Release courtesy of Franklin & Marshall Athletic Communications
LANCASTER, Pa. – Franklin & Marshall's Melissa Gula was named the Longstreth/NFHCA Division III Regional Player of the Year for the South Region on Thursday afternoon. Gula is the second player in program history to receive the award since its inception in 2009, and the first since teammate Erin Coverdale received the award in 2017. The senior is the seventh Centennial Conference (CC) player to be honored.
Gula was essential for the Diplomats on both sides of the ball this season. F&M ranked 13th nationally in goals against average (0.83). Gula contributed 16 points on offense with five goals and six assists. The senior was named to the Longstreth/NFHCA South Region First Team earlier this week.
F&M finished with a 20-4 record, establishing a program-high for wins in a single season. The Diplomats advanced to the NCAA Final Four for the second time in the last three years and played in the Championship for the second time in program history, and the first time since 1981.


The Bruins lost tonight. You know that.
It was a bad loss. You know that too.
What you might not know, however, is just how bad the loss was.
Thankfully, we have Chris and HockeyReference.com!
Chris did some digging within HockeyReference’s vast digital archives and found a few tidbits about tonight’s game. These are whatever you’d call the opposite of fun facts.
This was the worst season-opening loss in the history of the franchise.
The Bruins’ 7-0 defeat is the worst loss the team has ever suffered in its opening game. The most recent one that was even close was an 8-3 loss to Florida back in 2006.
It was tied for the second-worst season-opening loss in the history of the NHL.
YIKES. Before tonight, only three teams had lost their opening game by 7 goals: Edmonton to Calgary in 1991, Detroit to Montreal in 1965 and Quebec to Montreal in 1919. The only loss worse than those three? The Kings lost to Montreal by a score of 9-0 back in 1975.
It was the first season opener since 1939 that the Bruins were shutout and allowed five or more goals.
In 1939, the Bruins mustered no goals against the Toronto Maple Leafs, but allowed five. This was worse.
That last one occurred before Pearl Harbor, so we can rally with some Animal House inspiration. The season’s not over yet, folks. DON’T PANIC.
Thanks to Chris for the research and HockeyReference for being great.

Most people think diabetes is incurable. I’m fat, because I have diabetes. No, you’re not. You have diabetes, because you’re fat. And diabetes is curable.
Diabetes is not a disease, that’s why it is so hard to be cured. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder. And to cure a disorder, you have to put things back into order.
Two types of diabetes exist, type I and type II. Both are curable. More than 90% of diabetics are type 2, so let’s start with the second one.
The main symptom of diabetes type 2 is insulin resistance. Insulin is a hormone, which allows the cell to accept glucose. Glucose is the main cell fuel. All body cells can accept glucose only if triggered by insulin. The only exception are brain cells: they eat glucose without insulin. Actually, that is the reason why insulin is needed at all: to make sure brain gets the glucose no matter what. In case of malnutrition or other emergencies, body ceases insulin production, and only brain cells get fuel.
With type 2 diabetes, the cells refuse to accept insulin. This insulin resistance ceases the absorption of glucose by cells, making it circulate in the blood stream. That’s why we monitor sugar in blood to diagnose diabetes. The excess of glucose is very dangerous, since the body overeacts to withdraw the excess glucose.
Why the cells suddenly become resistant to food? Well… have you ever seen a slim type 2 diabetic? They are all fat and full of food! And their cells are also full of glucose. The cells are so full of sugar, they cannot accept it anymore. In fact, that is more glucose resistance, not insulin resistance. Diabetes mellitus type 2 is called adult-onset diabetes for a reason: you really need to gorge up to your early thirties to get one.
So to treat type 2 diabetes? Well, that is a metabolism disorder. And the first treatment is diet and exercise.
In the last fifty years people all other the world started to consume up to 15 times more pure sugar and sugary products then ever before. The obesity rates sky-rocketed, as well as the amount of diabetic patients. Obesity causes diabetes. So stop eating sugar. Bear in mind, that anything that is not sweet to taste, is not necessarily sugar free. In McDonald’s menu, for instance, the only product that doesn’t contain sugar is coffee.
The other important thing is vigorous exercise. Glucose level in blood normalizes after the first 10-20 minutes of jogging. And that makes perfect sense: during workout, the stored glucose amount decreases, and the cells restock fresh glucose from the blood stream.
However, that only held on early stages of diabetes. Long time diabetics’ body is so beaten up by the condition, that amateurish workout may have serious consequences like trauma, coma or even death. So if you are a long-time record of diabetes, sick professional help. But not from physicians. You need a very experienced trainer and a doctor in sports medicine. In sports, insulin is used as doping. And that is exactly the reason why sports doctors are far more experienced on glucose blood levels and insulin acceptance and dosage during workouts, while ordinary physicians don’t. A skilled trainer is required to make sure the workouts are safe and effective. Both of them should also advise on specific diet.
The cure for diabetes type 2 may from several months up to several years of intensive, every day excercise and diet. The results are amazing: the weight, eyesight, blood pressure and even potency will be restored. Moreover, workouts stimulate capillary regrowth, meaning no more risk of diabetic foot.
Diabetes type 1 is a different story. That is a autoimmune destruction of cells in pancrea, which produce insulin. That means, the immune system false alarms on body own insulin-producing cells, and destroys all of them. Without insulin, cells cannot get glucose fuel, and the patient dies, unless regularly shot with insulin. Such people are insulin-dependant. This type is called juvenile diabetes, since first symptoms appear in children.
However, there is a cure for Diabetes mellitus type 1. It is called immune system reboot. Patients receive immune blockers, until all the immune cells gone wild are dead. After some time, preserved stem cells are inserted into the immune system, which develop into new immune cells, which are less likely to attack the insulin-producing ones. The success rate is very high, in most cases patients are no longer insulin-dependant. That means, they don’t have diabetes anymore. Those who fail and get back to insulin, now require much less dosage.
The ex-diabetics have to maintain good physic and diet to remain diabetes-free. Of course, they can eat a piece of cake once in a while, but the former fat and lazy way of life must be completely forgotten. And that’s worth it: don’t you feel how amazingly exiting it is to be cured from incurable disease?

Player Points are a right now beta feature in which users earn Player points in ROBLOX games that market them, and show them turn off on their profiles. Player Points space NOT a form of currency, definition you cannot buy items in the ROBLOX directory with Player Points; lock are simply a ranking mechanism for games.
You are watching: What do points in roblox do
However, a ranking system for gamings is pretty neat. Many users case to be the best at a specific game, and also with Player Points, we will understand for sure if it is true or not. The players/groups with the highest possible Player points get shown on a new “Leaderboards” tab on individual games, and also the players/groups that generally have the most Player Points gain an entire new category ~ above the ROBLOX website, called “Leaderboards”.
You can find your spot at a click that a button for one of two people an separation, personal, instance game, or in general compared to the remainder of the Player point – hunters.
Also, due to the fact that game developer decide how plenty of Player point out to provide out, there needs to be some limit, right? Otherwise, players might just make gamings that offer you 1 exchange rate Player Points, and also it wouldn’t even be a competition. ROBLOX worked about this by emerging a device that permits games to gain points to offer to players through sales native Developer Products, video game Passes, and Paid Access.
Here’s how it works: over there is a “tax” placed on the Developer Products, video game Passes, and also Paid Access. Currently, this taxes is 90% because that ex-BC, and also 30% because that BC, an interpretation that if you sell a game Pass for 10 ROBUX, you obtain 7 the end of those 10 ROBUX, and also the various other 3 go to ROBLOX, in various other words, vanish. However, v Player Points, those ROBUX gain turned right into 3 Player Points the the game creator deserve to use to give to football player in-game.

The Player Points that a video game has to offer to its players are at first hidden; it’s as much as the video game developer whether to show the points obtainable or not.
Player Points are a great feature, and also I use them in my game “Sword Fighting Battles”. You can transfer 1000 knife Points, which room the currency details to sword Fighting Battles, for 1 Player Point! So, if you want to start earning part Player Points, knife Fighting war is a great game to get started!

This article was previously published under Q252769
After you upgrade your computer to Windows 2000, you may no longer be able to edit Microsoft FrontPage and Microsoft Visual InterDev files. You can create pages and save them to your server in the Wwwroot folder, but you cannot edit them.
This problem can occur on computers upgraded to Windows 2000 from Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 running Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 (installed with all default settings). This behavior only occurs if the drive containing the Wwwroot folder is converted from FAT to NTFS during the upgrade.
This behavior occurs because inheritable permissions are set incorrectly on the Wwwroot folder.
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows 2000. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
260910 How to Obtain the Latest Windows 2000 Service Pack
To work around this behavior, manually change the NTFS permissions on the Wwwroot folder.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Windows 2000. This problem was first corrected in Windows 2000 Service Pack 1.
For additional information about how to install Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 hotfixes at the same time, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
249149 Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows 2000 Hotfixes
The InetPub folder (and all the files and folders in this folder) receives an inheritable access control list (ACL) that gives Everyone Full Control, and it receives non-inheritable access control entries (ACEs) that give Administrators and System Full Control.
When the FrontPage server extensions are upgraded, the permissions on the InetPub\Wwwroot folder are changed from Full Control to Read for the Everyone ACE, because giving Everyone Full Control permissions on content that can be remotely authored creates a security hole.
This leaves the ACL on the Wwwroot folder as Everyone:Read (inheritable) and Administrators and System with Full Control permissions, but not inheritable. Any new files or folders that are added to the Wwwroot folder at this point receive only the inheritable Everyone:Read ACE (which means that after the files/folders are created, they cannot be edited).
After the upgrade, if you lock down the Program Files folder so non-administrators cannot write to it, you may create a similar problem. Any folder that has these non-inheritable ACEs for Administrators and System is broken after a user decides to tighten the permissions on the folder by changing Everyone (or in some cases, Power Users) to Read-only permissions. You can add new files to the folder, but you cannot edit or upgrade after that. For example, if you restrict permissions on the Program Files folder, you can install a new product as an Administrator because you are able to create files in the Program Files folder, but you cannot upgrade the program because you do not have write permissions to the files after you create them.

Former WBC heavyweight champion of the world Mike Tyson has shared the latest clip of him hitting the pads and he looks absolutely terrific.
Over the past month, Tyson has been releasing some incredible footage of him working out with his trainer Raphael Cordeiro.
Check out the latest footage:
Who will Mike Tyson fight?
There has been a lot of talks about who the former champion should be fighting next. Although there hasn’t been any sort of announcement made by Tyson or his managers, now fans are speculating that he will most probably be fighting Evander Holyfield in a charity match.
Tyson himself said that a charity match between him and Evander Holyfield could do a lot of good for the community.
“There are a lot of people out there that need help, and something like that can help a lot of people that’s in need of help,” Tyson told TMZ Sports. “That’s a lot of money for charity. That is basically what I have embarked on in a life of charity and gratitude. I don’t know if me and Evander will ever get in the ring [again]. That would be awesome for charity, too.
Mike Tyson rejects $18M offer to fight Wanderlei Silva
Mike Tyson has gotten numerous lucrative offers for his ring. One of them being from Bareknuckle fighting championship.
Tyson was offered $18 Million by BKFC president David Feldman to fight in his organization. Even Wanderlei Silva was ready to fight Tyson as mentioned in the statement below.
“There’s nothing going on right now, so a fight like this has everything to generate more money than [Floyd] Mayweather’s fights because of the entertainment and other factors,” Wanderlei Silva said. “He’s aggressive and so am I. I’m in great shape both mentally and physically, so it has everything to be a great show for everyone.”
However, Tyson rejected the fight, according to his trainer Rafael Cordeiro, who stated that Tyson wanted to fight inside the ring under Queensbury rules.
“Tyson is getting ready to do a boxing match with gloves,” Cordeiro reportedly stated.

|Return to Dreams of 2005.|
|Onto the interstate||Dreamt:||May 5th 2005|
|Onto the interstate
driving home. We are in a van at night. The road stretches off far
into the distance. There is some traffic. Clouds were gathering,
light and wind. I asked, “what’s that” looking at the strange
occurrences happening in the sky.
Clouds had folded the sky in two.
Dad began explaining the occurrence of magnetism and…
I interrupted him again.
An enormous light was flashing in the sky. Looking up, the flashing light was coming from a jet and filled some of the sky. The jet flew from the distance across the window of the automobile. Finally the jet landed on the interstate in front of us. “Wow!” The jet speeded down the highway with us and took off again 10 seconds later before a large turn happened in the road. We were high up on a winding ridge at this point. I could look down and get a good look at the jet as it flew away. The jets odd feature was that it had the “feet” of an osprey (sic). I observing this craft out of the side window from a top the high ridge.
Turned to my brother Aaron, “Did you see the aircraft”? Aaron interrupts, “landed on the road and just flew off.”
Looking back forward in the last moments of an accident. The automobile is turning almost 45 degrees still on the road. Instantly realize the automobile is going to crash off the ridge and kill us all.
In about 3 seconds indeed the automobile is uncontrollable.
My father makes his last attempts to correct cars alignment. It is too late. The car speeds off the road, crashing through the guardrail and is falling thirty feet toward the ground.
… Falling about 1 and half seconds. Everything becomes dark. Quietness takes hold.
I hear a few sounds. “Did I survive?” Listening I hear a few more very faint sounds from the auto. Or, is this the few moments before I bleed to death or the car completely crushes me. Again hear faint sounds. I try to move my lips to speak. I want to say, “I love you” but the words do not come out. All I can manage is a quarter breath. I say a final prayer as the dream fades, “I want to tell them.” Final darkness.
My dreamer did a most brilliant thing to create the effect on me of the last scene of the dream.
The faint sounds I heard were the real sounds coming from the outside. The small humming of machinery in the distance. Not being completely awake I was unable to move my mouth nor have the motor skills to speak. In a semi-comatose/half-awake state realized typing the only skill I possessed at that moment was the ability to make a small breath.
“I want to tell them.”: The last words of my dream. Yesterday, I thought about what my last moments on earth would be. What I would think about if I had moments to live.
In these final moments of the dream I didn’t think of her as I would if I was awake. I thought of them. It was simply my last will and unspoken testament that they know this. (Hint; they are my family) (This: I love you.) I felt if this was said my work on earth was finished. May 5th 2005.

Bipartisan Duo Pushes for Congressional Redistricting Reform
The bipartisan duo of lawmakers that pushed for redistricting reform on the state level is at it again. This time they want to change the way congressional districts are drawn in Ohio. Statehouse correspondent Andy Chow reports.
Republican Senator Frank LaRose and Democratic Senator Tom Sawyer, both from the Akron area, have a joint resolution in the General Assembly to bring more fairness to congressional district maps.
Now the two senators are also taking their plan to the Constitutional Modernization Commission, another path to a constitutional amendment.
LaRose says they’re trying both options in case one might be faster than the other.
“We’ll move on those parallel tracks to try and get this in front of voters as soon as possible so that hopefully next year or the year after they can approve congressional redistricting,” said LaRose.
Issue 1 on this November’s ballot would change only state legislative district drawing. Supporters say it will prevent gerrymandering, when districts are drawn to benefit one political party over the other.

While majority of the ace directors feel like casting Deepika Padukone in their movies, there is one filmmaker who wishes to surround all his stories around the Mastani of Bollywood.
Shhojit Sircar described the dimpled beauty as one of his favourites and said, "Whenever my writers and I talk, we always think, 'what can we do with Deepika' because I'm so fond of her."
While recounting his experience of working with the 31-year-old in 'Piku', Shoojit said, "It was a brilliant experience working with her. Frankly, while working on 'Piku', I saw the real actress and real creativity in her; and what she is as a soul."
"My revelation was that she is a simple, girl-next-door soul, despite having done many other films and potboilers. Now, I am working on and thinking about something wherein Deepika and I can work together," added the National Award winning filmmaker.

Julius Malema, the leader of the Marxist-Revolutionary Economic Freedom Fighters party led the charge to change the country’s constitution so land owned by whites may be expropriated without compensation. The ruling majority party, the Marxist ANC, also called for the taking of farmland from whites. Most blacks have accepted Marxism and want revenge on whites, who they have been told are the last vestiges of evil capitalism. Whites comprise about 8% of the total population of an estimated 60 million people. Malema told his followers to “go after a white man” in the name of “cutting the throat of whiteness.” -GEG
Just as the legacy of Jim Crow, the evil inflicted upon South African blacks during apartheid was an atrocity. That does not mean, however, that evil should be inflicted upon innocent whites far removed from those horrific times.
The reconciliation that former South African President Nelson Mandela hoped to achieve in the 1990s has been all-but-jettisoned. As of last week, the South African parliament voted to seize all land from white farmers without compensation, a motion largely prompted by the hateful Julius Malema, leader of the Marxist-Revolutionary Economic Freedom Party.
Since parliament passed the initiative, Malema, who has a rap-sheet of racist rhetoric, has been turning the anti-white hate speech up to dangerous levels. Just recently, he told crowds of followers to “go after a white man” in the name of “cutting the throat of whiteness.”
US Representative, Keith Ellison, Deputy Chair of the Democratic National Committee since 2017, has been accused of domestic abuse against his ex-girlfriend, Karen Monahan, who supports her accusation with text messages, medical records, and therapy records.
Democrat Representative John Garamendi added racism and sexism to the argument by saying the senators who support Kavanaugh are white racists who are hostile to women. [The allegations against Kavanaugh have nothing to do with race, but the left has added that issue to present themselves as virtuous and to conceal their true political motivation.]
Natarajan Subramanian, an auditor for the GAO, says there are numerous communists in the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) party and that he is one of them. He says that DSA only endorses candidates who can be controlled.
French politician, Marine Le Pen, says a court ordered her to undergo psychiatric evaluation for denouncing terrorism and posting a series of images on Twitter showing ISIS executions of hostages. If convicted, she faces a maximum fine of a €75,000 and up to three-years in prison.
Illegal aliens have stolen 39-million Social-Security numbers which now are being used to work in the US. The issue stems from an executive order issued by Obama that stopped notification to employers if their workers’ identities didn’t match up with the Social-Security number on their W-2 tax forms.
Black First, Land First (BLF) party leader Lindsay Maasdorp, says white “existence is a crime”. Maasdorp has come under fire in the past for his post on Facebook and Twitter stating, “I have aspirations to kill white people, and this must be achieved!”
Democrat Congressmen Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, Adam Schiff and Mark Warner sent a letter to top intelligence leaders reminding them that they had agreed they “would not provide the White House or any of the President’s attorneys with access to sensitive information briefed to a small group of designated Members.”
Allison Hrabar, a paralegal at the Department of Justice and active member of the Democrat Socialists of America, admitted using government resources to find Wiley’s address and to run a license-plate report on his car, which is in violation of the Hatch Act.
If America wanted to follow Sweden’s successful turnaround, the US would need to deregulate more markets, reform Social Security, remove all taxes on property and inheritance, etc. [Marxists will never agree to that, even if they thought it would be good for the economy because, to them, control over the people is more important than prosperity.]
New Mexico is suing Google, Twitter, Tiny Labs, and other app developers for collecting data on children under 13-years-old without their parents’ permission. The apps can track where children live, play, and go to school.
Syria: A Russian military plane was shot down accidentally by Syrian anti-aircraft fire, killing all 15 on board. Initially, Moscow blamed Israel, because Israeli jets were flying in the same area as the passenger route and, thereby, attracted Syrian anti-aircraft fire into the path of the passenger plane.

Singer, songwriter and actress Becca has cleared the air on the reasons behind her break from music, which she said was not influenced by her marriage.
In an interview with MX24 TV, the Afropop star said she had already decided to take some time off from music before she got married to Nigerian businessman Tobi Sanni-Daniel in 2018.
“It was not about marriage. That’s the mistake people are making. It just coincided, sort of, because it was a decision I’d already made, that I wanted to take some time. I’d (been active) for eleven years almost. And I just thought to a little break,” she said.
She said she wanted to explore and make money from other sources, apart from music, which had been her main source of income for over a decade.
“I wanted to get into real estate because that’s where I wanted to make money elsewhere. I wanted to concentrate on my spa, which is one of the biggest spas in Ghana right now. I wanted to do other things,” she added.
Becca, denied that marriage and childbirth had forced her off the scene.
“And then, of course, children come in, and then you’re like, okay, and then you have your husband. But that wasn’t the focus. I wanted to explore other avenues as well,” she said.
She assured her fans that she still loves music and would not leave it.
“Music is always going to be my first. I can’t run away from that, no matter what,” she said.
Becca, who rose to fame after participating in the second season of TV3’s Mentor, has released three studio albums and several hit songs, such as “You Lied to Me”, “I’m Alive”, “African Woman” and “Yes I Do”.
She has also collaborated with artists such as Hugh Masekela, MI Abaga, 2face Idibia, and Shatta Wale.

Hundreds of “put a human face on the economic toll” stories appeared during the Great Recession. Many reporters chose middle-class protagonists — by which I mean, not working-class. They wrote about managers, professionals shocked by the notion that they could ever be let go, disoriented by their descent, stunned that no one wanted them.
That was the news: that not just working stiffs could get laid off. People like you, middle-class magazine reader, were not safe.
Some of Barbara Garson’s subjects are middle-class, too; a few are even rich; others are workers. They all had something before the 2008 recession — a job, a house, or savings — and they all lost that something. Down the Up Escalator is the story of how they coped — with their human faces, yes, and loss of face, and loss of nerve and unwarranted optimism.
But Garson also explains the whole securitized, derivatized implosion of the economy in a way that’s easy to follow and puts the blame where it belongs.
To publish in 2013 is a little late — others have done this explanation already — but if you were too shell-shocked to pay attention at the time, and if you want your economics leavened with an entertaining dose of humanity, Garson is your guide.
One person we meet Garson calls “the living cliché of this recession”: a laid-off hedge fund manager. His wife still works at a different hedge fund, but he’s saving money by walking the dog himself rather than paying a dog-walker. When Garson tells him about an upscale retailer who’s eliminating commissions and switching to an all-part-time staff, the guy approves: “Some of the most innovative businesses and business theories have come up during tough times,” he says.
That outlook is why they pay — paid — him the big bucks, as a stock picker.
Another guy, an unemployed banker, had created the bundles of mortgages that helped bring down the whole house of cards. Gus says his work created “a lot of value,” meaning profit. “There was no sense asking him about social value,” Garson observes. “You can’t undo a master’s in business administration in one afternoon.”
Beat the odds?
Although the reader gags at the callow and callous unemployed like these, it’s fascinating to see how their minds work. Bank loan officers and heiresses give us insights into the human decisions of the 1%, or at least the 10%. And we meet people much further down who believe, against all the evidence, that they can make speculation work for them.
Here’s Zita San Antonio describing her immigrant mother: “She’s like a lot of people who buy into the spirit of capitalism but don’t have the capital. She’s always looking for the big chance. But she’s not from the class that will hear about the next pyramid scheme toward the beginning. She’ll never be ‘inside’ enough to get out in time.”
“Getting out in time,” when prices are highest and before the bubble bursts, is what it’s all about, of course. Take it from Alan Greenspan: “It’s not that the people [the ones who created the toxic assets] were dumb: they knew precisely what was going on. The vast majority of them thought that they knew when to get out.” Each individual knew it was a Ponzi scheme, but thought he could beat the system.
The recession was V-shaped for the rich, Garson shows throughout the book — they went down, they went back up. It was, and continues to be, L-shaped for everyone else — we went down, and we’re still flat-lining.
Those who’ve read Garson’s earlier books (see below) are fans partly because of her chatty, self-deprecating tone, the way she inserts her own knowledge, lack thereof, personal history, and reactions into the story. It keeps us engaged as we’re slowly educated about how the bankers and their allies crashed everything. We also get some insights into why there are no crowds with pitchforks surrounding the Federal Reserve.
Garson takes a lot of time in between books, partly because she has no interest in getting rich herself. If you look at the list, you’ll see that over the years she’s chronicled the steady worsening of our work lives as the 1% worked their abstract magic on our jobs. I’m eager for her book that goes behind the scenes when we finally do pick up the pitchforks.

Global Lung Cancer Diagnostic Test Market accounted for US$ 1.98 billion in 2020 and is estimated to be US$ 4.07 billion by 2030 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 7.50%. Lung cancer is a cancer that develops in the lungs. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLLC) are the two main forms of lung cancer, and they are treated differently (SCLC). According to the American Cancer Society, non-small cell lung cancer accounts for 80 percent to 85 percent of lung cancer cases, while small cell lung cancer accounts for 10% to 15% of cases. Oat cell lung cancer is another name for small cell lung cancer. Biomarkers, imaging tests, and biopsy are some of the most essential lung cancer screening techniques. Increased test approvals by regulatory bodies, investments in research, and strategic expansions by major players operating in the lung cancer diagnostic and screening market to strengthen their geographical footprint are among the major factors driving market growth during the forecast period (2021-2028). Tagrisso, for example, was recently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as the first adjuvant treatment for patients with non-small cell lung cancer whose tumours carry a specific genetic mutation.
The increased focus on lung cancer diagnosis and screening test research and development is one of the major reasons driving market expansion. For example, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) developed a nanoparticle-based technique in April 2020 that enables for the early detection of lung cancer via a simple urine test. The method detects biomarkers produced by peptide-coated nanoparticles interacting with disease-associated proteases in the tumour microenvironment. The urine test was shown to detect tumours as tiny as 2.8 mm in two separate animal models of lung cancer. The researchers anticipate that this type of noninvasive diagnosis will reduce the number of false positives associated with current test methods and aid in the early detection of more malignancies.

Home opens doors for mentally ill
On a day when politicians are talking about Australia's mental health crisis, a Queanbeyan charity is taking action as Home in Queanbeyan opens.
The Queanbeyan community has pooled its efforts to plan, fund, build and today finally open 'Home', as staff affectionately call it, which will provide an independent residential facility for people with mental illness.
Seven residents have already been selected to live in the 20-apartment facility which has 18 permanent homes and two for respite.
Home is the vision of Catholic Church priest and caretaker Father Peter Day who will also live there to provide 24-hour support for residents.
"Part of the dream of home is that there be a 24-hour presence, and as I say to people we're not here to help people or offer charity we're here to walk along side them," he said.
"I'm going to be ministered to as well, friendship's a two-way street.
"I don't think I've ever looked more forward to living in a place as I have this one."
There was a noticable sense of morale among staff and volunteers in the hours leading to the opening ceremonies.
At the opening ceremony, Home in Queanbeyan chairman Tony Carey described today as the end of the beginning, highlighting their continued reliance on community.
The charity will cost around $350 000 a year to run, and they are calling for more volunteers to provide support for residents in the form of councelling and companionship as well as day-to-day jobs like cooking.
Manager Anne Pratt said residents will still have responsibilities like paying rent and utilities and she wants to encourage ownership among the people living there.
"We're not going to do for the people, we are going to work with the people and help them and encourage them to look after their own apartment and help look after the grounds," she explained.
"It will be their home and we want them to be proud of it."
At the opening ceremony, where Sir William Deane and Professor Patrick McGorry were among the speakers, the most moving speech was given by John, a father whose son is about to move in to Home.
Thirty-five year old Justin was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when he was 19 and was homeless for nine months during his twenties.
John spoke about the heartache he and his wife experienced when they didn't know where he was.
"It brings home a lot of the realities about people that do go missing but more particularly people that suffer from mental illness that go missing because a lot of times they can't fend for themselves," he said.

WF Baptist researchers find obesity bias among many medical students
Is your doctor judging you for being overweight? Possibly.
A study by Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center researchers found that two out of five future doctors have an unconscious bias against those that are obese.
Dr. David Miller, associate professor of internal medicine at Wake Forest Baptist, said doctors are more likely to assume patients won't follow treatment plans if they are obese and are less likely to respect obese patients than average weight patients.
"That bias can affect clinical care and the doctor-patient relationship, and even a patient's willingness or desire to go see their physician, so it is crucial that we try to deal with any bias during medical school," said Miller, the lead author of the study, which is published in the Journal of Academic Medicine.
The three-year study included more than 300 third-year medical students studying in the Southeast from 2008 through 2011, representing 25 different home states and 12 countries. A program called the Weight Implicit Association Test was used to measure the unconscious preferences for "fat" or "thin" individuals by students.
The findings showed that 39 percent had a "moderate to strong" unconscious anti-fat bias while 17 percent had a moderate to strong anti-thin bias.
Miller said that medical schools should address weight bias as part of a comprehensive obesity curriculum. The study itself was prompted by Wake Forest School of Medicine's effort to update its obesity curriculum.
The release of the medical student study findings follows a Johns Hopkins study released last month that showed doctors are generally nicer to patients who are thin.
